As Emo AI drew nearer, she ceased playing the flute and prepared herself for battle.

The beast below, having lost the control of the flute's melody, began to scatter.

No longer engaging in pointless skirmishes with the undead.

With a wave of her hand, Bayou commanded all remaining gargoyles and those scattered in the vicinity to gather in the sky.

Thanks to her exceptional eyesight, she was able to clearly identify the creatures in the night sky, griffins.

Bayou was no stranger to griffins.

She had previously slain one.

The griffins possessed considerable speed, and Bayou positioned the gargoyles to counter them.

Although she commanded over 500 undead, the majority were wraiths in corporeal entities better suited for reconnaissance.

While wraiths also constituted an aerial force, their speed was insufficient.

Thus, Byu opted to rely on the gargoyles for the primary confrontation.

Of course, she had never entertained thoughts of victory or defeat.

Her intention in deploying the gargoyles was merely to utilize their speed advantage to prevent the enemy from fleeing.

Even with the preponderance of wraiths in her ranks, Bayou had more than enough gargoyless, over a hundred, to adequately respond to the dozens of griffins.

As Mo AI soared over Xiao Liu's castle, she quickly recognized the presence of over 100 Gargoyles surrounding her, a number almost three-fold her own.

However, Mo Ai remained unperturbed.

She had observed the earlier skirmish between the griffins and gargoyless, and noted that the latter were not particularly formidable.

Victory in battle is not solely determined by numbers.

Attack! Mo ai commanded her griffins, intending to deal with them before turning her attention to Bayou and Xiao and Shua, both of whom she had been watching closely.

Countless blades of wind coalesed at the Griffin's forpaws, shooting towards the nearby gargoyless.

Yet the anticipated scene of the gargoyles being shredded did not materialize.

The gargoyles remained in scathe, having absorbed the magical blades.

Upon realizing that these creatures could absorb magic, Emo AI immediately abandoned her magical assault, instructing the griffins to engage in close combat with the gargoyless.

With identical size and strength, the four-legged aven beasts faced off against the humanoid monstrosities.

It was evident that the gargoyless, free to use their hands, were far more formidable than Mo AI had initially perceived.

She had mistakenly thought them weak, merely relying on their superior numbers.

The gargoyles proved to be remarkably agile in the air, easily grasping the griffins by their necks or wings.

While the Griffin's claw strikes had little effect on the gargoyles durable forms, the Griffin's most esteemed magic proved utterly ineffective against the gargoyles.

Were it not for the presence of three commanding griffins, while the enemy boasted only one, the odds would have been heavily skewed against them.

Had both sides possessed equal strength, the battle would have long since concluded, no single griffin could vanquish a gargoyle alone under comparable circumstances.

What manner of beast is this? M O ais countenance darkened as she circled the skies at top her griffin, engaging in combat with the formidable gargoyless.

Yet, as time wore on, she noticed her numbers dwindling, while the enemy's gargoyless remained steadfast in their ranks.

Despite having personally slain several, the relentless onslaught continued unabated.

Emo AI wielded a black whip capable of mid-range assaults, enhanced by magical properties, rendering her quite formidable.

Below, Bayou observed with an air of leisure, displaying no inclination to assist.

adorned with a pointed mage s hat and clad in a robe of deep black embellished with trinkets mo ai whip in hand perched upon her griffin struck by you as rather peculiar should we not intervene voiced her concern pondering that without Bayou<unk>s aid the dwarves would likely falter against the griffins you are right we can no longer afford a delay if she escapes it would spell trouble you remarked with a serious demeanor is that So, are you worried that my intervention might swiftly eliminate the adversary? Xiao Lianua he fretted silently cheering on the gargoyless fearing their defeat while Bayou appeared entirely unconcerned.

M AI s altitude was precisely at the edge of Bayu s attack range who was keenly observing the aerial skirmish below poised to strike.

Above MO AI dismissed the two lords beneath her as mere simpleans incapable of flight, lacking any range defensive capabilities.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed her to remain so unchecked.

At this moment, Bay had closed her left eye and activated her right, enhancing her perception, stamina, and night vision among other abilities.

Seizing the opportunity as Emo AI maneuvered her griffin to evade a gargoyle strike, she unwittingly entered Bayou's magical attack range.

Xiao Yianua, still curious, wondered if Bayou intended to simply glare her adversaries into submission.

But the ensuing spectacle left her utterly astounded.

Mo ai felt her griffin's wing joint suddenly encased in ice.

Alarmed, the griffin cried out in pain, its frozen joint causing it to lose balance and plummet downward, where the earth erupted with massive ice spikes poised to impale it.

Being a commanding entity, the griffin immediately unleashed a blade of wind towards the spikes below.

Its body following the trajectory of the spell as it descended.

Boom! The griffin crashed heavily to the ground, shattering the ice spikes beneath it, yet sustaining numerous lacerations that bled profusely.

Mo ai appeared disheveled and in a state of utter disarray.

Fortunately, under the protection of the griffin, she remained unscathed.

As she caressed the griffin beside her, a verdant glow emanated from her palm, and the wounds on the griffin's body began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.

At this moment, Xiao Yinshu was still in a daysaze, unable to comprehend how the foolish bird soaring in the sky had suddenly plummeted to the ground.

However, when she turned to glance at Bayou, she found that he had already vanished from sight.

Ah, where has the esteemed figure gone? Chapter 113.

The dwarven forces approach.

Though mo ai is a woman, her attire is not mere decoration.

She is indeed a sorceress, proficient in three distinct schools of magic, perception, sound, and healing.

With the enhancement of her perception magic, she detected Bayou's disappearance in an instant and deafly wielded her whip, predicting the trajectory where Bayou would land.

This perception magic also allowed her to sense the elemental fluctuations in the air, giving her confidence that Bayou would materialize at that very spot.

Indeed, by you appeared, but she now wielded a sighthe which effortlessly deflected Mo Ai's anticipated strike.

You shall perish, exclaimed Mo Ai.

Three exclamation points manifesting above her head.

Astonished by the swiftness of her adversary.

Ice pillars surged towards her, and with a flick of her whip, she produced a resounding crack, shattering the icy assault.

Leveraging her advantage in reach, MO AI engaged in a tugof-war with Bayou.

Each of Bayou's teleportations was foreseen by Mo AI, allowing her to narrowly evade danger.

However, after a few rounds, Bayou sensed a discrepancy.

Her opponent seemed to possess a magical ability that allowed for preemptive strikes against her movements, effectively countering her melee attacks.

Do you think I cannot launch a ranged assault? Au retorted, retreating swiftly and extending her palms as a torren of flames surged towards MO AI.

Even if you can predict my movements, can you evade an area of effect attack? Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The air erupted with explosions.

Each detonation creating a vacuum amidst the inferno.

One explosion detonated beside by you, prompting her to hastily dodge, interrupting her fire magic.

The sound-based magic was insidious, and without her heightened senses, she might not have evaded it.

"This sound magic is indeed peculiar.

However, I too wield an intangible magic.

I wonder how you shall respond to it.

" Bayou observed Mo AI from a distance, sigh in hand.

Yet, she chose not to close the distance, leaving Mo AI oblivious to any unusual behavior.

Your strength is commendable, yet you remain no match for me.

Mo AI asserted confidently.

Armed with her perception and sound magic, complimented by her melee prowess, she not only employed unorthodox attack strategies, but also mitigated the vulnerabilities of spellcaster's frail physique.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yinua cowered behind the level six necromancer commander, trembling in fear.

The sheer force of Bayou's magic was enough to shatter Xiao Lianu's worldview.

Such potent magic could likely obliterate her castle single-handedly.

Was this what the elite of the first tier embodied? Most absurdly, the enemy before her seemed impervious to Bayu's assault, leaving Xiao Yianu unable even to discern the nature of her attacks.

Why, among women, were they so formidable while she felt utterly inept.

Xiao Yiani's self-confidence plummeted.

Suddenly, a resounding horn echoed from the mountain peak behind Xiao Lianua.

Everyone and all living beings were drawn by the sound to turn and gaze, only to behold numerous torches ablaze at top the distant peaks, illuminating the surroundings.

Charge.

Slay these foreign foes and traders.

At the forefront, a dwarf clad in black armor rode a wild boar.

His warhammer pointed ominously at Xiao Leian's castle below.

In an instant, hundreds of dwarf cavalry surged forth, wielding torches in one hand and warhammers in the other as they gripped the reigns of their boars, charging down the mountain side.

The dwarves of the dwarven kingdom had discovered them within Xiao Yianu's castle.

Some of the dwarves quivered in fear while the braver ones prepared to take up arms and fight against their outside kin.

How could they not recognize the call of the dwarfs? It was this very nobility that had rendered them homeless, and now they sought to strip away their last glimmer of hope.
