The Dark Elves were clearly divided. Some of them looked shaken after hearing Adam and Isolde's words, while others still stubbornly refused to believe them. Angry whispers and heated arguments began to break out among the villagers.
However, before the argument could escalate further, a loud, rumbling sound echoed from outside the village.
Rumble… Rumble…
Several Dark Elf warriors who had been standing guard outside suddenly rushed in with panicked expressions.
"Monsters! Monsters are coming! The sand worm is getting closer, and there are more of them appearing from the ground!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire village fell into chaos.
Lilith clicked her tongue. Soulreaver stepped through a tear in the air at her side, the legendary sword humming low and hungry as it fed on the surrounding mana.
"…It's already time to fight," she said coldly. "We don't have time to keep arguing."
Adam stepped forward and raised his voice so that everyone could hear him clearly.
