The acrid stench of melting rotten flesh mixed with a suffocating sulfur current surged turbulently from the battlefield beneath the North City Gate.
Black rain continued to patter down upon the yellow earth plain, but the moment it touched the bubbling, scarlet lava pits, it instantly hissed and evaporated, turning into thick, murky pillars of white smoke that coiled lazily in the cold night. The massive carcasses of the three Bone-Hammer Corpse God Giants were now reduced to jagged, charred gray bones, scattered beside the shattered, over-fifty-meter-long skeleton of the Underworld Bone Dragon Beast. Those Lord-tier creatures that had sown terror across the entire North Gate defense line just moments ago had now permanently vanished into desolate ashes.
The remaining hordes of skeletons and dark mummies beyond the five-hundred-meter radius seemed to sense the lingering, lethal aura of dread.
