Chapter 934: Chapter 578: Five-Willow Overstate Full Form

The one who let out an angry roar was not the Elf’s body, but instead, a human face embedded in the lower half. Although this face was utterly unfamiliar, Gaven recognized his identity at first glance—it was Rogan Nort, his brother with no blood relation, transformed into a revived corpse.

This Corpse Spider Elf was the handiwork of the Undying Goddess of Vengeance. He felt a dense divine nature within it, but this divine nature was peculiar, neither Undead Divinity nor Vengeance Divinity, but laced with a rich scent of madness. Had the Undying Goddess of Vengeance been driven mad by him?

After Rogan’s face appeared, the enormous body of the Corpse Spider Elf took a step, attempting to charge at Gaven and initiate an attack.

"Roll back." A cold and merciless female voice echoed from within the body of the Corpse Spider Elf. The corpses around Rogan’s face churned, attempting to forcibly press him deeper into the body. Then, it ignored Gaven completely, moving its bloated body toward the area where the Koutao Fishmen corpses were most concentrated.

Wherever its swollen belly dragged, all corpses were swept clean, and the sound of bones horrendously breaking emanated from its body—the result of corpses being crushed by terrifying force.

As it devoured a large number of Koutao Fishmen corpses, the Corpse Spider Elf underwent visible changes. Many miscellaneous, makeshift animal corpses were pushed aside, replaced by Koutao Fishmen corpses.

At that moment, Gaven noticed that the upper half of the Corpse Spider Elf’s body, everything above the chest, was made of densely packed fish heads with sharp fangs and teeth. Naturally, these were not ordinary fish heads from Yewen Pond but identical to those of the Koutao Fishmen before them.

One could easily guess: as soon as these Koutao Fishmen left the Black Prison, the Corpse Spider Elf began a massive slaughter in its wake, devouring the remaining Koutao Fishmen completely. There was no need to ask why; it was clearly to enhance its own strength. As more Koutao Fishmen corpses were consumed, the aura of the Corpse Spider Elf kept climbing.

Those powerful undead usually appear among sentient beings, while the numerous beasts rarely become undead, and even if they do, they are typically not very powerful. The reason was starkly evident in Weizemay Manor’s Shadow Power—the stronger the soul, the more Negative Energy it could carry, and, naturally, the more powerful it would be after transformation. In this regard, sentient beings who actively seek self-improvement naturally have an advantage.

Although Gaven did not know how the Corpse Spider Elf managed to coax these Koutao Fishmen to attack the Weizemay New Village from miles away, one thing was certain: these Koutao Fishmen were used as expendable troops from the very beginning. The opponent never really placed hope of victory on these religious lunatics; they were merely a distraction for Gaven and others, conveniently creating a large amount of corpses for the Corpse Spider Elf to devour and further enhance its strength. As for these corpses—whether they were from the Gnolls and Humans of Weizemay New Village or the Koutao Fishmen themselves—all were the same to the Corpse Spider Elf, though the latter was more likely.

"Take the corpses, and retreat all of them. Do not attack it," Gaven once again stressed their mission to the Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry.

There was no need for him to stress it; the Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry did not even dare to approach within fifty meters of the Corpse Sea Elf. Upon seeing her advance in their direction, they would randomly grab one or two Koutao Fishmen corpses and flee.

"The High Priest is dead... clack... escape, flee this place immediately!"

"Flee, flee now, we’ve been deceived."

"Return to the water, we’ll be safe as long as we return to the water."

The remaining Koutao Fishmen finally realized what was happening, staggering towards Yewen Pond. They might be religious fanatics, but they weren’t brainless fools. Though they hadn’t fully grasped the situation, they knew they couldn’t stay ashore anymore. The most likely outcome if they did would be to become part of the Corpse Sea Elf’s body.

Clack! Clack Clack! Clack Clack Clack!

The Corpse Spider Elf was not willing to let them go so easily. The mouths of the Koutao Fishmen fish heads embedded in its body all moved at the same time, in a uniform motion. Countless sounds merged into a rhythm, a single voice.

It was a simple clacking sound, but because of the control of the rhythm, it became extremely complex, with a unique rhythm. It sounded like a performance of a unique melody, reminiscent of the mad ceremonial chant that the Koutao Fishmen had collectively performed earlier, filled with bizarre energy that drove one to madness.

However, compared to others, these Koutao Fishmen were clearly more susceptible to its influence. Upon hearing this sound, the Koutao Fishmen who were ready to flee stood frozen in place, unconsciously opening and closing their fish mouths, emitting clacking sounds in unison.

While the upper body of the Corpse Spider Elf was attacking, the lower body was unaffected. Those Koutao Fishmen who stood frozen were oblivious to the terrifying creature rolling over them. Even as they were engulfed by mounds of corpses, they continued their eerie vocalizations—they had been completely hypnotized and controlled.

As the Corpse Spider Elf devoured more Koutao Fishmen corpses, its ability to manipulate and control became more severe. Around it seemed to be entwined with a domain of madness. The Koutao Fishmen were no longer ignorantly standing in place, waiting to be consumed; they staggered toward the Corpse Spider Elf like puppets on strings, willingly submitting to its devouring. On their fish faces was a chilling, bizarre smile, as if they were not moving toward a terrifying monster but instead the paradise of their dreams.
