A majestic aura surged from the mysterious giant city, churning the underground mist and alerting the group to danger. Lila ordered the Stone Giant warriors to prepare for battle as the ground erupted, unleashing thousands of Earth Dragons—sub-dragon beasts with Tier 5 auras and pitch-black scales. Leo Ray strengthened the Absolute Defense Barrier, noting many bore 'Corrosion' crystals, confirming the beasts had shifted from besieging the city to targeting them.

Keep in mind, handling the wild and ferocious Earth Dragon horde is already incredibly challenging, and with their parasitization by “Erosion,” they shrug off all standard strikes, making the situation utterly nightmarish.

Furthermore, “Erosion” holds a sharp intellect, ensuring these Earth Dragons are far from mere instinct-driven Demon Beasts!

This realization sent shivers down Lila’s spine, the Stone Giant Clan Chief feeling her scalp crawl intensely.

Thousands of these infested Earth Dragons swarm ahead, forming at least half a Legion in scale, dominated by Tier 5 but packed with a staggering number of Tier 6 as well. Never in Stone Giant history has “Erosion” appeared on such a massive scale.

Should these beasts launch a sudden assault on nearby Stone Giant settlements, the fallout would be beyond comprehension.

At the same moment a cold dread gripped Lila’s heart, behind the Earth Dragon horde, countless massive black eyeballs surfaced—the unparasitized “Erosions”!

In that instant, a wave of irrational terror swept through our camp, the dread induced by “Erosion.”

Before Lila could even respond, the infested Earth Dragons bellowed as one, baring their gore-drenched jaws and thundering toward us!

At this sight, not just Lila and the other three half-step Tier 7 Stone Giants, but every Stone Giant warrior felt utterly bewildered.

Remember, the majority of Stone Giants here had only heard tales of “Erosion,” never faced it, seized by an unknown panic that left them frozen on how to strike these unstoppable enemies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sudden thunderous blasts rang out one after another, warping space wherever the noise spread, unleashing crackling thunderbolts and brilliant Magic Radiance that triggered endless surges of fierce energy.

Beneath this overwhelming barrage, Earth Dragons nearing our Absolute Defense Barrier got hurled backward, many exploding in midair into crimson mists that painted the skies, reduced to mere rubble plummeting down.

It goes without saying, Leo Ray and our elite fighters were the ones striking. Drawing from their defense against “Erosion” in Observation City, despite this being their first encounter with parasitized Earth Dragons, Leo Ray and his team stayed far calmer than Lila’s group.

“Everyone, I’ve already granted you the power to combat ‘Erosion’.”

Leo Ray gave a nod to Lila and the Stone Giant powerhouses, directing: “The rest of you soldiers, pour everything into upholding the Barrier and formation. Simply enduring the terror from ‘Erosion’ makes you the greatest warriors!”

From lessons in Observation City, Leo Ray mastered training troops new to “Erosion”—overcoming the fear the foe instilled.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Looking upon Leo Ray’s steady expression, Lila and her allies snapped back to focus, sensing a holy and mighty energy bloom within, the Power of Divine Grace Leo Ray had bestowed.

Having activated the Stone Spirits’ power and received their resonance, Leo Ray’s shared Power of Divine Grace now infused the anti-“Erosion” Power of the Stars.

Under Leo Ray’s poised directives, the chaotic Stone Giant ranks swiftly steadied, with Lila’s leading powerhouses joining Leo Ray’s crew in counterattacking the foes.

After a brief adaptation period, the Stone Giant elites turned into powerful allies, flinging ever more Earth Dragons through the air.

Observing this, Leo Ray nodded approvingly.

A force rivaling the Half-Titans for ages, these Stone Giant troops showed remarkable flexibility, particularly leaders like Lila. No surprise for magic specialists like Kira, but even physical powerhouses such as Lila and Payton hurled flying axes and javelins, unleashing a meteor-shower barrage whistling at the “Erosion” ranks.

Amid our relentless volleys, not only the rushing parasitized Earth Dragons suffered, but rear “Erosions” dissolved into foul sludge as well.

“As expected from Your Majesty! Our strikes work on ‘Erosion’!”

Seeing this, Lila and the rest felt an outburst of elation surge forth.

Since the Blank Era’s Magical Ley Line outburst, despite Erosion Erasers’ swift response, countless Stone Giants fell to “Erosion” in despair, later reinforcements helpless as no blows landed.

For the first time now, they’d wounded “Erosion”—how could excitement not explode within them?

In their thrill, the Stone Giants’ gazes brimmed with awe toward Leo Ray, for this Human Majesty’s gift enabled their feats!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As our powerhouses, centered on Leo Ray, hammered the enemies, elsewhere parasitized Earth Dragons and “Erosions” kept slamming our Barrier Wall, echoing with colossal thumps.

Soon enough, the robust Barrier Wall thinned out, faint fissures appearing.

Spotting this, Leo Ray’s brow furrowed lightly.

Right now, I haven’t ordered our elites to deploy Divine Stone Weapons, sticking to the Power of Divine Grace I shared against the threats.

I chose this to maximally hide the Divine Stone Weapons, nonexistent on this realm—especially with Erosion Erasers possibly lurking unseen.

These enigmatic zealots, obsessed with purging “Erosion,” might covet such anti-“Erosion” artifacts if discovered.

Then, I’d face the curse of owning a prized treasure, birthing a foe of unfathomable might.

For the moment, my roots can’t challenge those matching top-tier powers, let alone their links to Half-Titans and Stone Giants via Titan Temple news.

Whatever their aims, they’re surely monitoring me.

In this bind, even if speculative, I won’t casually expose Divine Stone Weapons—too many hopes and duties weigh on me; one slip spells carnage.

“Yet, truth be told, my Power of Divine Grace sharing caps at a few hundred now—far too restrictive.”

“Fei’er and Elder Bing, as God’s Chosen, can wield Divine Stone Weapons to extend anti-‘Erosion’ power to more Stone Giant troops. If things deteriorate further, I’ll have no choice but to unveil them.”

His frown deepening, Leo Ray eyed the ceaseless “Erosions” and Earth Dragons burrowing up.

“Erosions” aren’t infinite yet, but surpass forecasts, including hordes of Tier 6, Tier 6 Peak Earth Dragons, even half-step Tier 7 detected.

Barrier breach could spell total wipeout, especially with that lurking mysterious city poised to strike as announced.

As Leo Ray mulled his advance-retreat impasse inwardly, Lila and the Stone Giants noticed too, worry etching their features.

The Human Majesty’s might stunned, but “Erosion” and infested Earth Dragon numbers defied expectations!

As unease gripped all, fresh turmoil erupted.

The entire Underground Space quaked once more, thunderous hooves suddenly boomed, drawing nearer—from that enigmatic city exactly.

“At least two Tier 5 Army cavalries!”

Lila hesitated, tension flashing across her pale visage, exclaiming: “Are they planning to swoop in for the spoils after watching?”
