Chapter 400 Did We Really Do It?
Soon, the once silent Flower Falls Gorge erupted into intense battle.
Countless falling petals swirled around, mingling with the torrential rain and fierce winds, gracefully dancing amidst various attack skills.
The enormous monster in the sky, having spawned too many strange dog-like creatures, was now reduced to a round object resembling a hedgehog. However, instead of sharp spikes, it was covered with tentacles, each adorned with eyes and mouths.
At this moment, Nathaniel was engaged in combat with the monster. The rain pouring from the sky and the winds swirling around him made him feel free from the earlier influences. He was able to fully unleash the power that belonged to an Eighth-Level Beast Master.
A series of thunderous roars echoed violently through Flower Falls Gorge.
Charles stood atop Nathaniel's flying mystical beast, watching the battle unfold in the gorge.
He was also exerting all his strength to harness the unknown power within him, continually suppressing the darkness in Flower Falls Gorge, the strange monster, and the bizarre dog-like creatures fighting on the ground.
None of the Beast Masters who entered Flower Falls Gorge hesitated!
The scene before them was something they had never dared to imagine. Before Charles made his move, everyone could only watch from the outside as the visitors in the gorge awaited their fate.
And Charles certainly did not disappoint them!
Hope amidst despair—no, it was a miracle in the midst of despair—was beyond description in its motivational impact on the Beast Masters.
The battle on the ground of Flower Falls Gorge raged on, and those dog-like creatures were no match for the Beast Masters without the aid of the darkness.
As time passed, the scales of victory steadily tipped in favor of Charles and his allies!
At the same time, the rain falling from the sky and the winds roaring through the gorge contained the power of the unknown entity within Charles, and the black threads were rapidly disappearing.
The rescued visitors, freed from their constraints, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
They kept trying to control their hands, opening and closing their fists repeatedly, as if doubting that it was all just a dream.
"Don't just stand there! Get up and help the other visitors!"
"All able-bodied visitors, don't waste any time! Quickly go help those who are still weak!"
"We don't know how much longer Charles can hold on, so hurry up! This time, we must save everyone!"
"That's right, everyone!"
A Beast Master shouted loudly, and at his urging, those newly able to move gritted their teeth and sprang into action.
Before long, more and more visitors reached safety, their faces filled with relief and overwhelming fear.
Celia, with the help of others, brought Deer to a safe place. Before she could even catch her breath, she knelt down and said to Deer:
"Sweetheart, Mommy needs to step away for a moment. There are many others who need help. Can you wait here quietly for a little while?"
Deer's small body trembled continuously, and confusion, fear, and anxiety flashed across her face.
Seeing the expression on her daughter's face, Celia's heart ached.
She helplessly hugged Deer, gently patting her back as she softly said, "Don't be afraid, Deer. Everything will be alright. Mommy will be right here with you."
"Mommy, it's okay! I heard what Brother Charles said, and I want to help too." Deer instinctively looked up at the figure in the sky, and her emotions began to stabilize.
An outstanding person can provide psychological comfort to others, and for Deer, Charles was that person!
Today, Charles had saved her twice: once by preventing her from being hurt by sharp pieces of the flowerbed, and once by pulling her back from the brink of death.
Deer was still young and didn't understand much, but she really liked Charles and wanted to help him.
"Mommy, I want to go with you! I can do something too!" Deer said slowly.
Celia followed her daughter's gaze and saw Charles's silhouette. She nodded seriously and replied, "Alright! Then let's work together to save everyone!"
Soon, more and more rescued visitors joined the effort to save others.
An invisible force began to coalesce among these people, gradually emerging and filling the entire battlefield of Flower Falls Gorge.
Others might not be able to feel it, but at this moment, Charles, atop the flying mystical beast, sensed it very clearly.
The unknown entity within him had become even more active, and his power had grown stronger.
The forces of rain and wind began to suppress the black threads and the darkness in Flower Falls Gorge at an accelerated pace, along with the monster battling Nathaniel.
"No, this is impossible! What is happening? How are you doing this?" The monster let out another piercing sound.
It was not asking Nathaniel, who was solely focused on attacking, but rather Charles.
However, Charles did not know the specific reason, so naturally, he would not answer.
The situation in Flower Falls Gorge was rapidly shifting toward victory for the Beast Masters.
The monster fighting Nathaniel was gradually losing speed and power, and most visibly, the tentacles on its body were dwindling.
Nathaniel remained silent, unleashing his full power as he relentlessly attacked, employing the devastating skills of an eighth-level Beast Master to destroy the monster's tentacles.
Not long ago, the monster had been high and mighty, shouting about great power and insignificant ants.
Now, it could only clumsily dodge Nathaniel's strikes, its tentacles continuously falling away.
The battle on the ground was nearing its end, while the rain and wind in the sky showed no signs of weakening. When the last Beast Master arrived to support and together they brought down the final dog-like creature,
someone, disregarding the rain-soaked and bloodied ground, sat down heavily.
They struggled to lift their head, gazing up at the battle in the sky, and in a daze, raised their hands, incredulously saying:
"Did we really do it? Just as Charles said, we saved everyone?"
Their voice quickly resonated with the other Beast Masters. Many, ignoring their own injuries, looked up at Nathaniel and, most crucially, Charles, exclaiming,
"A miracle! Charles led us to create a miracle!"
"Yes! Charles accomplished the impossible with us! We truly saved everyone!"
A Beast Master turned to look behind, at the rescued visitors. Though they appeared extremely weak, no one had died, everyone had survived!
Yes, everyone!
Now, only the monster in the sky remained before the battle at Flower Falls Gorge could be declared completely over. As long as they killed it, this incident would come to a perfect conclusion.
The Beast Masters present all understood this, and in their eyes, the retreating monster was no longer a significant threat.
However, at that moment, the monster began to swell grotesquely.
Its round body rapidly expanded at an alarming rate.
"Not good!" Nathaniel reacted quickly. He knew this was likely the monster's last struggle.
Although he didn't know what it would do, the best option was to interrupt it and deny it any opportunity for retaliation!
In the next instant, Nathaniel surged forward with all his might, channeling all his energy into his weapon.
This was his most powerful attack!
But just as his body began to move, he heard a vague and eerie sound in his ears.
At the same time, Nathaniel's vision began to blur, and he seemed to see countless images flickering and intertwining.
He was not alone in this, everyone present experienced the same issue.
The monster's body had expanded to its limit and suddenly began to contract violently, leaving only a grayish-white eye floating in the air.
"You cannot kill me! Saving everyone? The day of destruction is coming, and no one can stop it. Everyone will die, and they will die in agony." the monster's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
At that moment, everyone froze in place, trembling as if they had witnessed something unbearable.
Some had tears streaming down their faces, while others collapsed to the ground, crying out, "No! No, this can't be real!"
Charles was also affected, his mind felt somewhat dazed.
At that moment, he smelled a dark, damp, and foul odor. He sensed the sound of water flowing nearby and opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that his hands had undergone a drastic change.
His hands resembled those of a newborn baby, devoid of any strength, waving aimlessly in the air.
The air around him was extremely humid, and the stench was almost suffocating.
"Where am I? Wasn't I fighting in Flower Falls Gorge? Is the monster's final trick to create an illusion?" Charles pondered anxiously.
He wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible but discovered that he had no power left in his body. It felt as if he were a real baby, abandoned in a sewer right after birth.
In addition to the sound of flowing water, there was a rustling noise, as if some creature was slowly approaching him.
Struggling to turn his head, Charles saw large rats with bright eyes inching closer and closer to him.
