Chapter 1138: Chapter 74: Legion Descends!

Bottomless Abyss, 23rd layer, Steel Icefield.

Accompanied by a series of heavy footsteps, the bulky figure of the Frost Giant King Koschéi appeared outside the Glacier Fortress. He was an ugly giant with bow legs, dark cyan skin, a hunched back, and a deformed head and face. However, this did not affect his powerful combat ability. In the Bottomless Abyss, a typical Tanari Demon Lord might not even be able to single-handedly defeat him.

"Master."

After the hunched figure of the Frost Giant King sat on the Frozen Throne, a Legendary Enchanting Demon soon appeared outside the palace. Many High Tier demons served him, and this Enchanting Demon was one of them.

The Tanari demon bowed respectfully and said, "Among this batch of frost giants entering the Bottomless Abyss, seven have the potential to advance to Frost Mages."

"Do you need me to arrange someone to train them?"

The Frost Giant King Koschéi slowly nodded and said, "Let them go to the tower behind the Glacier Fortress to study."

All along, the Frost Giant King had been secretly nurturing his trump card. He would catch intelligent frost giants into the Bottomless Abyss and, with the help of the Tanari serving him, train them to become Frost Mages.

And he kept these results well hidden.

The Frost Giant King Koschéi was also waiting for an opportunity—a suitable opportunity to release all his Frost Mages, whether in the Bottomless Abyss or the Prime Material Plane, to give his enemies a great surprise.

This Demon Lord had the reputation of being reckless and foolish in the Bottomless Abyss, but any enemy who underestimated him would pay a heavy price.

"There are already nearly three hundred Frost Giant Frost Mages."

The eyes of the Frost Giant King Koschéi showed a hint of cunning, as if calculating something, and he murmured to himself, "With them, it would be easy to destroy a kingdom."

Three hundred mages.

And they were Frost Giant Mages who could swing a big club and smash people into a meat paste. Such a terrifying force was enough to fight a large-scale Abyssal Blood War.

Just then, a muscular and fierce Dragon Descendant appeared outside the Glacier Fortress. It was a hybrid of a white dragon and a frost giant, with pale cyan skin and white dragon-like scales.

This Dragon Descendant knelt respectfully before the Frost Giant King and said in a deep voice, "Master."

"Only a dozen or so juvenile dragons hatched from the dragon eggs this year."

"Do you need someone to train them?"

All along, frost giants had a tradition of capturing and taming white dragons. Whether in the Prime Material Plane or the Bottomless Abyss, the frost giants’ love for white dragons far surpassed that for other dragons. The reason was simple: newly hatched white dragons were basically like beasts, the disgrace of dragons, and could be domesticated as tools like training beasts.

"Only this few?"

"Didn’t those white dragons lay eggs properly?" The Frost Giant King said, resting his chin on his hand, with a hint of displeasure.

The White Dragon Descendant before him looked nervous and said, "Master."

"If there are too many juvenile dragons."

"There’s simply not enough food to raise them."

The reproduction capability of white dragons was strong, but they also ate a lot. A frost giant clan could only raise one or two at most; any more would affect their daily life.

"Then abandon those weak servants." (referring to half-giants, ogres, etc.)

"Raise more dragons."

The Frost Giant King Koschéi slowly got up and walked towards the distant tower. He wanted to see how his Frost Mages were training.

For a long time, Koschéi had been migrating frost giants from the Prime Material Plane. The giant tribes he conquered all became part of the Purgatory Legion defending the Glacier Fortress. Now, his kingdom had over ten thousand frost giants, with several thousand adult frost giants capable of fighting. If not for the long growth cycle of giants, his assets would be much more than just this.

Zerata, Silver Palace.

As the doors of the Silver Palace slowly opened, the figure of Witch Queen Egger Vulfu appeared surrounded by numerous Purgatory Mages.

At this moment, the Witch Queen wore a luxurious black robe with silver edges, her graceful figure accentuated with beauty. Her black eyes gazed at the assembled demon army before her, and she couldn’t help but feel as if she had already become a Demon Lord.

——Abyssal Gate.

Beside the Witch Queen was the Enchanting Demon Lord Marietta. She led hundreds of Enchanting Mages to open teleportation portals to other layers of the Bottomless Abyss. Then, assassins from Black Flame City poured in one by one. These were the vanguard of the Demon Legion, mainly composed of shadow demons, enchanting demons, and assassination demons, akin to the elite scouts of the Abyssal Legion.

Then came the massive gathering of mid-to-low tier demons from all directions of Zerata, reaching tens of thousands in scale. However, they were merely cannon fodder troops; at least mid-tier demons were needed to withstand a charge from the giant army.

With the large-scale troop movements, in the Abyssal Blood Pool behind the Silver Palace, demon guards resembling steel statues appeared in everyone’s sight.

This was the first time the demons created by Duncan appeared on such a large scale in others’ eyes.

Unlike the cannon fodder troops sent out earlier, under the guidance of Witch Queen Egger Vulfu, hundreds of Purgatory Mages successively opened teleportation gates. Before a dim Abyssal Gate, the assembled demon guards donned Purgatory Half Armor, wielded giant blades over two meters long, and wore hideous horned helmets, stepping heavily into the gate.

"Are these really demons?"

"I even thought they were a group of devils!"
