The Snake King was startled upon hearing the sudden news. He also realized that it is indeed the right time to attack their city since their main force just left and was about to compete for the ownership of the Artifact.

However, it still doesn’t make sense.

“Who’s the culprit of this?! Are they trying to save the prisoners we have?”

“N-no, my King… It appears that it was even started by the prisoners.”

“What? How is that even possible? Right, what happened to the Snake Guardian? He should act if he senses a threat within the City.”

“That…”

The soldier then continued reporting to the king. After a while, the king can only clench his fist in frustration.

He can’t order them to retreat right now because of the situation. He can’t just give up the Conqueror Staff after all.

“Tsk… We’ll deal with that later. Once I managed to get my hands on that Artifact, it should be a small matter to deal with them.”

Theramas, the Snake King, can only put off their revenge.

Anyway, there were a lot of inconsistencies in the report since it was said that the prisoners actually regained their strength?

That should be impossible since they’ve used core-restricting chains on their bodies. Even if they had luckily removed the chains by themselves, they shouldn’t be able to regain their peak strength forever.

“Gugu… King Theramas, I heard that you have a problem in your main city… Do you want to leave your position to us and return?”

A huge humanoid bear with two huge battle axes on his back approached the Snake King.

“King Zetidas… You don’t have to concern yourself with our problems. As long as you managed to stop the Frogmen Clan, I will give you your reward.”

The Snake King reminded. They are aware that the Frogmen had an amazing heat resistance. If someone could get the Artifact, there is a high chance that they’ll be able to do it.

In short, stopping their advance is a crucial matter for them to acquire the Ancient Artifact.

“Hmph!”

Zetidas didn’t say any more words as he left the Snake Clan’s camp… His eyes glinted with fury but he didn’t show it to the Snake King.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder and lightning suddenly filled the skies… Everyone started gripping their weapons as they got ready to fight for the Artifact.

The Frogmen Clan, the Lizard Clan, the Bear Clan, the Lion Clan, the Snake Clan, and the remaining beastmen of the Hawk and Raven Clan focused on the volcano.

Soon, they sensed a powerful aura coming from the mouth of the volcano…

It didn’t erupt contrary to what one might expect after those several rumbling noises from the volcano.

“It’s here!”

“Finally! Take out your weapons!”

“We’ll be the strongest race after today!”

“Kill the lizards!”

“For the Snake Clan!”

The battle of the Beastman Clans started. The Lion Clan specializes in their martial arts, the Bear Clan uses their thick hides to dominate a fight, the Lizard Clan uses their spears, and the Frogmen Clan uses their whips and swords.

As for the few members of Bird Clans, they mostly use light weapons to fight.

It was at this time that Cyril’s group arrived on top of a hill where he could see the battle happening.

“Too many? I guess we’re quite lucky that they weren’t in the city, huh.” Cyril commented after seeing thousands of Beastmen surrounding the volcano.

From his position, he could see over two thousand Snake People on one side… They are all well-equipped with various weapons.

“Master… Should we join in now?”

Magenta asked as soon as she saw the chaos happening on the ground.

The cries of pain and agony emanating throughout the battlefield excited her for quite a bit. She wanted to enjoy more by joining the battle.

“Wait for a moment… Our main focus is to get the Ancient Artifact, remember?”

“Ahhh… Of course, of course. I wouldn’t forget such an important matter.”

Magenta then went silent for a moment and looked at the mouth of the volcano. She could feel the strong and repulsive energy coming from it. It irritated her a little which immediately caught her attention.

“That’s weird… Master, didn’t you say that the Conqueror Staff can only create a domain and control some Magical Beast?”

The demoness suddenly asked.

“Well, that’s what I heard about it. But… perhaps I’m also missing some information. Ugh, it is normal to hide some details of your Artifact as a trump card after all. Anyway, did you find something unusual?” Cyril understood what she was implying and immediately asked.

“T-that’s right, Master. I’m not sure where you got your information but it seems that they hid the fact that it has some kind of protection against demonic energy.”

“Really?”

“That’s true, Master. I couldn’t even scan that Ancient Artifact. Something is blocking me after my senses reached the volcano.”

“Blocking you? If it’s capable of doing that, I guess it’s quite impressive, huh…”

Cyril commented as he looked at the top of the Volcano. Right now, there weren’t any beastman climbing due to the clash going on below.

On the other hand, the Bird Clan were also unable to resist the heat being emitted from the volcano.

Because of this, they can only try to stop the Snake Clan and its allies from taking a step forward.

Though their Clans were defeated by the combined forces of the enemies, it only happened because they were tricked by the Snake Clan.

They do not really like the Lizard and the Frogmen Clan as well, but if the Snake Clan truly managed to take the Conqueror Staff, then they would hate it even more.

Boom! Boom!

Several explosions occurred as the Hawk and Raven Clan’s remaining soldiers dived down to the enemies!

“Crap! These suicidal maniacs!”

“Are they not scared of death!”

“What’s the Bear Clan doing! Aren’t they supposed to stop them as well!”

King Theramas and his people started complaining as soon as a few dozen of suicidal Bird people dived down and killed several members of their Snake Clan!

They were too brave to pull off such a thing!

Even Cyril, who remained watching on top of the hill was impressed after seeing the courageous bird people.

He carefully observed them and noticed that they are actually carrying some kind of explosive stone and it is being activated as soon as they got close to a bunch of Snake people!

“Incredible…”

Cyril couldn’t help but praise them and similarly thank them in his heart since they’ve lessened the number of his enemies.

“Oh, they started climbing… I guess it’s time to show up.”

Cyril said as soon as he noticed a couple of small groups from the Frogmen Clan and Snake Clan climbing the volcano.

***

“Run faster!”

“The Snake bastards are using our carved path!”

“Tsk! Don’t mind them for now, as long as we reached the Conqueror Staff first, it wouldn’t matter!”

“For the Frog Deity!”

“We’ll follow the Frog Deity!”

The group from the Frogmen Clan is being led by a huge humanoid frog. It has a scaled and muscular body of a human with a frog’s head.

Aside from that, he’s also wearing a cape and a flail as his main weapon. He is the Clan’s Frog Deity!

His presence was the main reason why the Snake Clan had to target its possible allies instead. They know that it is almost impossible to defeat the Frogmen Clan with the presence of the Frog Deity.

“Kukuku! Our path is clear… Maintain a safe distance! Make them think that we’re just slow!”

“Yes, our King!”

King Theramas didn’t want a direct confrontation with the Frog Deity so he could only wait for an opportunity. Well, he already expected that the Lion and Bear Clan wouldn’t be able to stop this huge Frog Deity after all.

Luckily, there are only twenty of them who managed to climb up while King Theramas managed to bring over 40 Snake people with him.

“Aahhh!”

“Ambush!”

“Do not retreat! Defense formation! Use our defensive formation!”

Suddenly, the group of Snake people including the other Beastman clan was attacked by a group of unusual beastmen!

These attackers had frightening red eyes and are exuding power! Not only that, these new attackers are from different Beastman Clan! Snake Clan, Fox Clan, Turtle Clan, Bear Clan, and others.

Their presence stunned many of them, especially the Snake people who noticed the Snake Guardian behind this group.

“What’s going on?!”

“They have all gone crazy! Just kill them all!”

The chaotic battlefield became even more dangerous as soon as the new group of beastmen started arriving.

From this group of five hundred or so beastmen, most of them were even from the Snake Clan!

This confused a lot of them thinking that there is some kind of internal strife going on.

Of course, this discovery also made the enemies of the Snake Clan happier as they started attacking the snake people with increased vigor!
