Chapter 1021 Hero's Role

"Let us go, Master," Cindertail spoke after clearing the path for Leon.

Although the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suannis were stunned by Cindertail and the others' reveal of strength, they still possessed a shred of reason as they stepped aside.

No one dared to obstruct the path of a Paragon, let alone multiple of them.

Leon calmly nodded before striding forward and taking the lead.

As he pa.s.sed the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suannis, Leon turned his head back at the other Paragons under his command.

"At least one or two of you should also stay back and look after the cubs," Leon stated.

"After all, none of you and your families are part of the main clan. Who knows if the other golden suannis will bully or not while we are away."

Two Paragon-level Golden Suannis immediately volunteered to stay back.

Shortly after, Leon left with the rest and arrived at the very outskirts of Grand Creva.s.se, where a clear view of the concaved land was revealed before them.

In that instance, Leon, Rains.h.i.+ne, Cindertails, and the several dozen other Paragon-level Golden Suannis all narrowed their eyes.

The situation in Gran Creva.s.se could be observed from their location.

Even so, Leon still hopped onto the higher tree branches that stuck out over the concaved land for an even better view.

At the same time, Leon completely ignored the incredible wood energy levels he sensed inside the tree branch. It was not the time to be curious about that.

"Impossible The countless Paragons from the main clan are struggling against those things? What are those things even?"

Cindertail's eyes widened in shock along with the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis.

They had always thought the Golden Suanni Clan was invincible with their plethora of Paragons; there was no threat they couldn't eliminate if they all worked together.

However, the reality is that even the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis in the main clan could not defeat the white giants coming out of the abyss.

Having fought for over half a day, Dawnchaser and the others were feeling the built-up fatigue in their bodies.

No matter how many times the enemies were defeated, they just kept coming back stronger.

It was like their numbers were endless.

The strongest Whitebone Fiend, the name given to the white humanoid creatures, had already caught up to the Paragon level.

At the same time, the Golden Suanni Clan was pushed back five miles from the abyss entrance as the Whitebone Fiend increased in both strength and numbers.

Leon furrowed his brows.

The Whitebone Fiends reminded him of the mutated humans he encountered underneath Elvengarde in the Great Forest.

However, the Whitebone Fiends seemed even more troublesome to deal with than the mutated humans from back then.

As Leon watched the battle between the Golden Suanni Clan and the Whitebone Fiends, he noticed that the Whitebone Fiends could skillfully control the Wrath Law to a.s.similate other creatures and increase their own strength, even if it wasn't done consciously.

The Whitebone Fiends had lost all sense of reason and intelligence, or perhaps they didn't have any, to begin with.

Nevertheless, Leon started to ponder the relations.h.i.+p between devil wors.h.i.+ppers, the mutated humans, and the white humanoid creatures before him.

"Master, how are we supposed to defeat those things? The more they die, the stronger the surviving ones become," Cindertail mentioned with a frown.

"That's right," Leon acknowledged Cindertail's statement with a nod.

"Unless those white humanoid creatures are utter destroyed, they will just become nutrients for the other white humanoid creatures. The Golden Suanni Clan is terribly mismatched in this battle against those things.

"It's a battle of attrition between the Golden Suanni Clan's stamina and those creatures' numbers. If the Golden Suanni Clan cannot wipe out all those creatures before their stamina is exhausted or those creatures grow too strong, the Golden Suanni Clan will lose."

"And looking at those Paragon-level Golden Suannis' present states, they must have been fighting those fiends for quite a while now. However, the fiends' numbers are still growing."

"It seems that those Paragons' stamina will be exhausted first if nothing is done," Leon concluded.

In other words, the Golden Suanni Clan are winning their battles, but they will eventually lose the warif they don't receive help.

"Master must have a solution have a solution, right?" Cindertail asked with a hopeful expression.

"There is no solution in a battle of attrition. Whoever lasts longer is the obvious winner. Those fiends won't stop fighting until they are all killed," Leon stated.

Cindertail immediately lost hope after hearing that.

However, Leon wasn't finished.

"Nevertheless, you can resolve their immediate problem, Cindertail. If you slay all those Paragon-level fiends, the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons will have an easier time fighting off the weaker fiends," Leon added.

"Even if I can kill them, new Paragon-level fiends will just rise after a.s.similating the bodies of the ones I kill, Master," Cindertail stated.

It was the biggest problem that the Golden Suanni Clan was facing.

Nevertheless, after Rains.h.i.+ne heard Cindertail's words, she raised her head and shot him a disdainful look.

"You're really stupid, you know? Why does a slow-witted beast like you have to be born with better innate talent than me?" Rains.h.i.+ne spat enviously.

"You have awakened your ancestors' divine golden flames. If you incinerate those fiends with your divine golden flames, do you think those fiends can still raise another Paragon in a short time?"

"Of course, Master can also destroy these fiends. However, he is telling you to do it; Master is telling you to go and be a hero to your clan, understand? If you understand, then go and do it already!" Rains.h.i.+ne snapped.

"R-really?! As expected of Boss, you are really smart! This is why you are my Boss!" Cindertail bootlicked before saying, "Then, I'll head off first!"

Shortly after, golden flames surged out from Cindertail's body as if all the fur in his body had transformed into golden flames themselves.

Swoosh~!

Cindertail took off like a blazing golden star in the next instance.

As soon as Cindertail was gone, Rains.h.i.+ne turned to Leon and asked, "Was it really alright Cindertail to take on the role of the hero instead of you, Master?"
