Ethan, now fully in his battle form, couldn't help but glance toward the spatial rift Malenthia had opened.
From within that swirling portal, a relentless tide of 12th-Tier Shadow Matriarchs was still pouring out.
This was Malenthia's own kin. Sure, they were only 12th-Tier units, but under her command, they fought with terrifying coordination and power.
And more importantly—
She had a lot of them.
According to their intel, Malenthia controlled three full legions of these 12th-Tier Shadow Matriarchs. Each legion numbered 3,000 units—meaning she had a total of 9,000 at her disposal.
They had already wiped out one of those legions when they took down Malenthia's first castle.
But that still left two.
That's 6,000 Shadow Matriarchs—still on the field.
And under Malenthia's command, that many Shadow Matriarchs could easily rival the combat strength of a full army of nearly a thousand 13th-Tier Legendary Units.
