Chapter 1595 The End Of The Invasion

　　-----

　　From within the walls of the Stoneville village, one could see dozens of soldiers, mostly Desert Elves with occasional humans mixed in between them, looking in disbelief in the scene before them. All of these soldiers were the original inhabitants of this village and not the ones that had come from the country to steal their money, who had already ran away. The moment the Cactuses began pouring in, they thought it was just another night of monster attacks. There was a reason why they had erected an enormous wall using Earth Magic. However, this night had been difference.

　　Dozens after dozens of Walking Cactuses, one after the other, almost endlessly! Desert Elves had excellent night vision, and from afar, several kilometers away, they were able to see, using a magic tool, what looked like a dungeon entrance that wasn't there before! The sudden realization that a dungeon had suddenly emerged so close to their village was shocking. But they were unable to do anything else than defend their place to their very deaths.

　　The vicious Walking Cactuses are nemesis of the people that live in the Ankh Desert. They might look harmless at first glance, as they mix within the environment by pretending to be normal cactuses. But once prey gets closer, they open up their enormous jaws and devour anything. They are vicious and slightly intelligent and organized, vicious and above all, emotionless. Lacking emotions, they're like machines. They learn slowly, and then strike again when someone less expect it.

　　However, in all their years protecting their village, these people had never seen such Walking Cactuses capable of climbing walls using their spikes as a tool to pierce the walls and reach higher heights, even less Walking Cactuses that used amazing Earth Magic such as [Boulder Blast]!

　　Ariant and Eriant were their elite hunters. Those two twins were amazingly talented and since their parents died and they were raised by their grandmother that they were trained into learning magic from a young age. They had become the pride and joy of this village, but due to the last attack from the Genie, they had been left almost in ruins, and with both twins missing.

　　Many had thought the worst, while the other soldiers coming from the capital of the country abused them off their resources and kept asking for ridiculous taxes each month. If those two twins were to be here, they might had turned things upside down, but without those two powerful fighters, they were left hopeless.

　　Perhaps this endless horde of cactuses was here to finally bring an end to them once and for all… Or so they thought, as a mysterious little girl with b.u.t.terfly wings, Kireina, and the two twins made their miraculous appearance, slaying dozens of cactuses in mere seconds, while White, a floating magical spear began healing everyone that was wounded or at the verge of death.

　　In mere seconds since their arrival, the tide of battle gave a sudden flip. An army of monsters summoned by the little girl came, slaying the cactuses in ma.s.se. And more and more of these monsters fell one after the other, their morale rose as they saw their young heroes back and with an amazing new friend to boot. They took arms once more and fought alongside their young heroes.

　　Eventually, the people hiding inside the underground hideouts of their houses inside of Stoneville suddenly realized that no monsters had yet to enter their homes, and that everything was still safe! The soldiers looked into the horizon after hours of fighting, as the sun slowly began rising, a new day has come.

　　"W-We survived…"

　　"Look… so many d.a.m.n cactuses…"

　　"I can't believe this…"

　　"We won…?"

　　"It is all thanks to her…"
