Chapter 219: No Evil Deeds go Unrewarded
Warden had to agree; this was really somewhat evil. However, it was nothing worse than what the Forsaken had done against the humans.
The Moonspawn rampaged through the ranks of the Forsaken. Even though it was unable to break free from the chains, it wreaked havoc like an unstoppable force. With a crash, it left more than a few goblins and orcs crushed in its wake, while the trolls and the orc chiefs were the only Forsaken who came close to finding purchase against the monstrous creature.
However, considering they had once captured the Moonspawn, albeit losing many in their rank, the Forsaken would likely be able to capture it again. Warden saw nothing wrong with it. After all, it would leave them terribly strained from battle fatigue, making it way easier to deal with them.
So, they waited as the battle unfolded before them. Unfortunately for the Forsaken, it seemed they were unable to entrap the Moonspawn again, as they had no way to fix the lock. In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to go for the kill.
The trolls roared, their great wooden clubs with spiked edges thrummed against the massive creature mercilessly. Orcs too joined in and attacked the vulnerable spot where they had already left it wounded.
"Moonspawn gave a lot of boost to the killer on the death," Agnes said, narrowing her eyes. "You cannot let them kill it."
Warden found it a waste too. Thus, he brought another arrow from his quiver and shot. The giant hound had already slowed down under the pressure from the Forsaken, so Warden's arrow found no trouble in plunging into its red, bleeding eyes.
The streaks of light from the arrow burst open against the dark power of the monstrous creature, prying it open in a spatter of blood and gore.
Warden and Agnes came out of the shadows and joined the fray.
"You deal with the Moonspawn, I'll take care of the Forsaken," Agnes said.
Warden nodded and shot another arrow to impair its other eye. While the Moonspawn had far greater regeneration power compared to even the likes of trolls, they were unable to regenerate eyeballs quickly as the contrasting force of light invaded its system.
Still, it took a good couple of minutes to fully stop struggling and die. The captain had mostly dealt with the situation by then, as Warden joined her to help with the trolls.
[High grade energy harvested.]
[You have slain a shred of divinity. . .]
[Your aura has been slightly straightened.]
Warden felt a terrible pull against his spirit, as the dark murky power trying to find purchase in his soul. His Void core acted up and swallowed all the energy before Warden could think of what to even do about it.
[+7.3 Strength.]
[+3.5 Dexterity.]
[3.4 Spirit.]
[+5.6 Recovery.]
Now, this was some growth. Indeed, no Evil deeds go unrewarded...
If he hunted down a couple more Moonspawn, he was pretty sure he would reach the peak of Iron rank. And from the look of it, it would be worth it.
