Chaos, and endless bloodshed…
Countless monsters slaughtering each other for the sake of True Dragon blood, the border between Nolan Forest and Sulfur Mountains had turned into a hellish landscape of corpses and blood.
Here, life and flesh were rapidly dissipating at an incomprehensible speed.
Before this war, Cassiopeia and Sitte Bragg had fought several times, and their monster legions had clashed frequently.
However, even if the number of dead monsters from previous battles were combined, it was not as many as there were today.
The endless True Dragon blood raining down from the sky had turned this battlefield into a giant meat grinder.
Instead of fearing the massive deaths of their fellow monsters, the surviving creatures seemed to have become even more insane.
At this point, the reason for the killings no longer mattered.
Obtaining the True Dragon blood, evolving into Dragonborn — these goals had long been abandoned.
Elise, at the rear of the Thorn Legion, looked on in despair as she was now the only creature in the vicinity who could still maintain her sanity.
Even the other Corrupted Elves around her were showing strange symptoms, although they barely managed to cling to their sanity.
But from their trembling bodies, it was evident that this would not last much longer.
In their minds, it seemed as if a voice was continuously tempting them.
Eventually, one of the Corrupted Elves had a mental breakdown, revealing a maniacal, horrifying smile on her face as she lifted her usual longbow to be used as a club instead.
Like a Berserker, she madly plunged herself into the sea of monsters and was quickly torn to shreds.
She was the first Elf to lose her sanity, but not the last.
One after another, the broken Elves repeated this suicidal act.
No matter how Elise tried to stop them, her sisters seemed to be controlled like marionettes – cutting off everything around them and rushing towards death without hesitation.
“It’s over, everything is over…”
Witnessing all this, Elise blankly pulled out a delicate dagger and aimed it at her own heart.
Compared to ultimately losing her sanity and being torn apart by monsters, perhaps this was a better end.
But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
“As expected, I’m just a coward who’s afraid to die…”
Elise laughed mockingly at herself, throwing the dagger to the ground and began to chant an incantation in Elvish.
As her magical power flowed, several thick vines bound her tightly to an ancient, towering tree.
At the same time, she remembered to tie some still-struggling sisters around her to the tree as well — this was the only solution she could think of at this moment.
However, she didn’t know whether they would survive in the end.
Soon, all the Corrupted Elves had lost their sanity, and those not bound by Elise charged almost simultaneously towards the bloodied battlefield.
Meanwhile, the tied-up Elves struggled madly, their bodies twisting violently.
Rough vines wore through their delicate skin, leaving terrifying scars, but it still couldn’t suppress their inner desire for slaughter.
Fortunately, the vines Elise created with her magic were very robust, and the now-insane Elves couldn’t break free with their physical strength alone.
“This will do…”
Relieved to see this, Elise finally let go of her anxiety, only for her sanity to be devoured by the urge to kill.
The monsters fighting for the dragon blood had completely lost their rationale, and becoming Dragonborn was no longer their goal.Now, they were simply killing for the sake of killing.
Unless there was only one monster left on the battlefield, they couldn’t stop themselves.
But this was not normal!
Confusion filled Otto’s eyes, as he couldn’t understand the abnormal actions of the two adult dragons and the madness of the monster legion.
At the same time, his subordinates also began to act strangely.
As the chaos escalated, the ogres and gnolls at the edge of the battlefield began to howl anxiously under Otto’s control.
The ogres, restrained by Mega Fatty and Wuga, barely managed to stay put.
But soon, the gnolls charged uncontrollably into the center of the battlefield with bloodshot eyes and howls.
A few hundred frenzied gnolls couldn’t change anything when facing the countless monster army, just like a small scoop of cold water added to a boiling pot.
They were quickly and mercilessly torn apart.
Watching this senseless sacrifice saddened Otto. Unlike the rich family background of the adult dragons, his own resources weren’t as abundant. Soon, even the ogres were unable to resist the desire for slaughter.
Not even Mega and Little Fatty were exceptions. The three somewhat intelligent ogres, including Wuga, gradually became agitated.
Now, the only normal creatures around were Otto and Sofia. Even a fool could see that there was a problem with the situation.
Even Otto seemed to hear a tempting voice trying to corrode his psychological defenses, attempting to turn him into a mindless slaughterer as well.
Although this put pressure on Otto, it couldn’t make him lose his mind. He didn’t think that the temptation of the True Dragon’s blood alone could achieve this level of effect.
Because the mental states of the adult dragons in the sky were almost the same. It could no longer be called a battle as they were merely committing suicide.
Neither the Red Dragon nor the Green Dragon used magic or their breath attacks anymore. They fought only with their bodies and instincts.
At the same time, there was not a trace of rationality in their eyes.
But no matter what the reason, Otto had to find a solution. Otherwise, he’d have to flee this place as soon as possible to avoid becoming a sacrifice for the blood and flesh furnace.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of relief, and the bewitching whispers in his mind disappeared.
“What’s going on?”
Looking around in confusion, Otto found that the ogres had also returned to normal.
Even the previously-escaped ogres rubbed their heads and ran back with a puzzled expression.
But the monsters in the center of the battlefield were still fighting madly, without any change.
Clearly, there were no signs of improvement for anyone except for him and the ogres.
“I cast a Mass Resistance spell, increasing everyone’s resistance to mental spells! ”
Following the crisp, bell-like voice, Sofia was seen waving her wand, cheerfully taking credit for her actions with Otto.
“How about that? You don’t regret bringing me along now, do you?”
The little girl was proud of herself. When it came to magic, she was always very reliable.
Otto was startled at first, then promptly gave her a thumbs-up: “Nicely done!”
Although the gesture looked weird made with a dragon’s claw, Sofia enjoyed it so much she squinted her eyes, almost laughing with glee.
“So, the reason for the current situation is a mysterious magic?”
To Otto’s question, Sofia quickly answered: “Strictly speaking, it should be a magic circle with a bewitching effect on people’s minds, and we’re currently within the range of its effect..”
