Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, up north of Heliodor's region...
Lord Darius rode at the front of his army, wearing silver armor in pristine condition. Their direction... A corrupted imported forest from the Shadow dimension.
The forest around them was twisted... huge trees with thick black leaves blocking out the sun and leaving everything in a heavy, cold darkness.
The ground was sticky, and the air smelled of mold and rot.
Every step deeper felt wrong... Yet, Lord Darius, Sir Alaric, and his troops were taking big strides.
This might be a Shadow Castle Nest, but everyone was still being extremely careful. Lord Darius had told them that the nest's head was a powerful tier 5 nightcrawler with poison powers.
His nest might not be as big as Grave'Maw's, but he was slowly on the rise to upgrade it, desiring to turn it into an Abyssal Lost Nest.
Suddenly, Lord Darius paused for a moment.
-Release The Hound.-
