Battlefield of the City of Glory

In a corner of the battlefield of the City of Glory, a dazzling Holy Light Sun hovered in the sky.

The sacred light spread out like a tide, pushing away all chaotic evil power.

Through the transformation of the outer ring, the chaotic magic power was organized, then transformed into order magic power, and absorbed.

Beneath this sacred sun was a small town on the outskirts, once belonging to the City of Glory.

Now, it had become a frontline base, occupied by the legion led by Abis, serving as a major assembly area.

Across the entire battlefield of the City of Glory, there were far too many evil altars risen by the enemy forces. The chaos magic power emitted by these altars severely limited the combat effectiveness of the Night Watchers and their allies.

In the center of this small town, the Night Watchers, with their powerful construction abilities, had already erected a small tower.

The pure white tower was engraved with inscriptions from the Holy Light Church. Supported by the power of the Night Watchers, some priests and Holy Knights took turns sending the Power of Holy Light to the White Tower, allowing the Holy Light Sun floating above the tower to shine eternally.

From this occupied and transformed area of Holy Light Town as the central point, extending outward to towns, cities, wilderness, and ruins, traces of battle could be seen everywhere. This had become an all-out battlefield.

"Night Watchers!"

A bizarre flying Apostle plummeted rapidly from the sky, crashing directly toward an area where fierce fighting was occurring.

Below were troops composed of dozens of Rat Ogres and Evil Rat Priests, fiercely clashing with several Night Watcher squads and one of the Soul Guardian teams.

The captain of the Soul Guardian team launched a round of attacks, instantly slaughtering a large group of rats and even chopping off the heads of two Rat Ogres.

At this moment, the captain noticed the flying Apostle falling from the sky and couldn't help but blink.

"Level Twelve, that's troublesome. The most difficult aspect of the City of Glory lies here; the risen evil altars make the magic power chaotic and unruly, even the source power of the world is contaminated. These Apostles can exert power far stronger than before after their descent."

"Look who's here, isn't it our old friend, the Severed Wing Monster?"

The Soul Guardian captain teased with a smile, knowing well that they might not be able to defeat the opponent at this moment, but he certainly wouldn't stay silent.

The fallen Apostle glared fiercely at the group of Soul Guardians.

"This time, you won't be as lucky as last time, Night Watchers!"

It turned out, there was already animosity between them.

In this battlefield, unless using some special means, neither Apostles nor demons could be truly slain.

The last time this Soul Guardian team encountered the opponent, they were still a Night Patrol squad. The opponent's descent strength was only Level Eight, and that was many years ago.

But now, the enemy could wield legendary level power, and they had also grown into Soul Guardians.

A great battle was about to ignite.

However, as ordinary Soul Guardians, facing a Level Twelve Apostle with an environmental advantage, was indeed difficult to withstand.

Soon, the Soul Guardian team was at a disadvantage.

"Roar!"

At this moment.

A shadow descended from the sky like lightning, astonishingly fast, flashing with silver light during its flight.

"Swish!"

A sharp slicing sound echoed.

The Apostle's wings were instantly cut off, followed by a flicker of blade light, its head was completely severed.

Swena Anna landed on the ground, shook her dragon claws, and the sharp blades protruding from the side retracted slowly.

"Cut, I thought you were more formidable."

Swena Anna looked at her increased experience value, and nodded in satisfaction.

Before the Night Watchers on the ground could speak, she turned into a stream of light again and disappeared.

In this area full of chaos magic power, Swena Anna was really at ease.

Although she had left the Abyss, chaos magic power was not exclusive to the Abyss.

This was a special environment where various powers honed and blended.

In the Abyss, chaos magic power always dominated, where chaos was order, and order conversely was chaos.

This was precisely why Kana sent her here.

"Is that our new legendary member?"

Watching Swena Anna's disappearing figure, the Soul Guardian captain murmured.

Recently, Swena Anna's reputation was quite loud on this battlefield.

She often appeared at various battle points for support, greatly easing the combat pressure on the Night Watcher troops.

...

"Hurry up, keep going!"

A few round-eared mice quickly scurried through the city.

"Don't rush, be careful not to mess up the disguise."

Two slightly plump mice perked up their sharp ears, whispering as they moved toward a certain direction.

"Is it marked clearly? Are all the evil altar locations noted clearly?"

"Yes, they're all marked."

"Our Round-Ear Special Agent Squad is going to achieve great results this time!"

"Haha, indeed."

"Annoying sharp-eared mice."

"Shut up, we are sharp-eared mice now."

"Right, right, you're correct, annoying round-eared mice."

"That's also wrong!"

This Round-Ear Mouse special agent squad was scurrying through the city, noting every hidden and exposed evil altar's location carefully, waiting for Abis and others on the frontline to strike with precision.

Keep in mind, it's not only Evil Gods and Evil Rats who plant spies; the Night Watchers also use this trick.

"Wonder how the companions in other areas are doing." A round-eared mouse asked worriedly.

Beside them, another mouse shrugged helplessly.

"We are spies, it's inherently dangerous work."

"I know, I know."

"Oh dear, staying with these crazy, ignorant, and stupid sharp-eared mice for too long, I almost truly believed I was sharp-eared."

The mice complained and grumbled as they diligently executed their tasks.

Compared to undisciplined sharp-eared mice, round-eared mice were far more outstanding.

Round-eared mice are a special group that contradicts the sharp-eared mice's instincts.

Sharp-eared mice become representatives of evil chaos because even after transforming into some evil intelligent creature, they retain the instincts and habits of mice, and even take pride in it, feeling nothing is wrong.

Even if a wise man emerges among mice, it cannot alter this status quo.

These round-eared mice who defied sharp-eared mouse habits were either persecuted or forced to flee.

Gradually, they developed into a different race.

The round-eared mice were more friendly, their fur color changed from various gloomy tones to warm and bright colors like white, yellow-brown, straw-colored, etc.

They were also more intelligent, even excelling in fields such as translators, tourists, recorders, etc. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Many round-eared mice even became mages.

As a percentage of the entire race, the proportion of round-eared mice engaging in the Wise Man profession was far higher than among humans.

However, perhaps this was the price paid for evolution.

As round-eared mice embraced civilization, their fertility began matching humans, even weaker at times, and the likelihood of losing life during childbirth increased.

The world's creatures always adhere to a balance, with gains there's always loss.
