The old men looked at each other upon hearing the scout's words, "Who could it be? Controlling a hundred Nascent Soul Beasts at the same time?"
They shook their heads and committed to silence. It didn't matter who it was, rather what they wanted.
As the Magical Beasts grew closer, some that had fought in previous battles recognized their unique shape and the dark glow emanating from their bodies. Their sixteen-meter-tall humanoid figures resembled that of red and black hedgehogs and their claws extended over a meter long, dragging across the ground as they walked toward the group.
"They're all Shadogs!" someone exclaimed in horror.
The previous Beast Tide only numbered about a thousand Magical Beasts, but among them were ten Shadogs. They wreaked havoc across the entire battlefield and even came close enough to the City to be engaged by the ballistae.
And now someone was leading over a hundred?!? Could it be a Soul Formation level enemy?
