The sphere of absorption was on the aisle. She could barely protect Kio from passive external factors, but she was no longer able to withstand the repeated attack of these mysterious creatures.
Sen, in turn, having already used his last trump card, could only watch how foreigners come to life one after another, restoring their strength.
Watching all this from the sphere, the ancestor of true people already began to doubt whether his trump ace, which he hides, could now change the situation.
Too bad, this crystal has tremendous power, it revived two hundred of these creatures in the blink of an eye, along the way restoring the energy they spent during the battle. Will I be able to basically defeat them now, even if I use the armor of light? This crystal, what else is it capable of?
In the meantime, the emerald, having stopped shining, again changed its emission spectrum and, blinking a yellow flash, fired a shot of white energy, straight into the sphere of absorption.
The weakened barrier of living darkness was blown to bits, leaving no trace.
Using light teleportation, Master Kio was able to easily avoid the blow by moving more than a kilometer.
To his surprise, he no longer felt the same weakness as before.
Did the equipment that was used on me sleep?
But he did not have time to rejoice, as the newly shimmering emerald returned everything to normal.
Again!? So it's still a crystal, right? I don't have the strength to summon another sphere from the living mist. We'll have to go to extreme measures!
But then, suddenly for himself, Kio noticed how something eclipsed the sun. Turning his gaze to the sky, he saw a very unusual picture.
A huge cloud, having descended much lower than all the others, in a strange way, literally hovered over the place of accumulation of blue-skinned creatures. And although he did not see anything unusual in this object, his behavior seemed strange to him.
The next picture was a real shock for all those present without exception.
A little stretched out to the ground, a huge cloud coming close to the foreigners, the beginning will literally be divided in half.
Only after a few seconds, watching all this from the side, a true person, realized what was happening.
FALL! flashed through his mind.
And he was right. The huge mouth opened like a giant rift, exposing the bottomless abyss of its stomach.
The monster, something like a cross between a whale and a cloud, with six jellyfish-like processes on its head, acting as sense organs, began to literally swallow a large multi-layered barrier and everyone who was next to it.
The creatures that had just come to life, which were behind the barrier, tried to flee, but the gaping mouth of the monster, of exorbitant size, did not even give them a chance for salvation.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Sen and Kyo, an unknown monster swallowed all their enemies in one fell swoop.
It ate them up! They made the same conclusion.
"I hope it was delicious, Shu," a voice came from behind Kyo.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum) the monster told him, obviously pleased with the dinner.

What the hell is going on with them, - the elf tried to peer into the distance.
"You will soon find out for yourself, Mr. Sen," the soft, but at the same time emotionally neutral, female voice made him turn sharply.
"G… Mistress Tiara!"
- Yes? - still in the same calm voice, the girl with a fragile physique, with long black hair, who, in turn, somehow managed to easily hold the still unconscious Leiko in her arms, answered.
The elf wanted to ask something, looking at this whole picture, but the girl interrupted him:
"We don't have time to breed, long discussions, Mr. Sen, Vladyka is waiting for us.
At the word, the Sovereign, the crowned prince, trembled with fear.
* * *
Having settled down in the same place where only half an hour ago, there was a battle, the Lord of life, having created a throne for himself from a tree, admired nature.
Kneeling before him, a true man, meekly awaiting instructions.
"Something you are long," the lord addressed Tiara, who had just approached.
"I beg your pardon, we had extra fellow travelers," the girl said in a gentle voice, full of respect and adoration.
Glancing to the side, Vladyka examined the company that had come up to him.
In addition to Tiara, and Leiko in her arms, there was Sen, and a foreign elf, with two daughters.
It was evident how much the woman was nervous, and squeezing one of her sleeping daughters more and more tightly, she constantly glances at the second, which Sen was carrying at that time.
Without raising his hand, Inmir snapped his fingers, and at the same moment, they all regained consciousness.
- Mother? Mother? Airi was the first to wake up and see herself in Sen's arms.
"Hush, hush," the mother, who ran up to her, shaking with fear, began to calm her daughter, who clearly wanted to burst into tears.
"Take a walk, somewhere," the sovereign said in a calm voice.
Elionez bowed, and began to push the twins, who had not yet awakened.
We'll deal with them later, now you.
Everyone knelt down.
- The fun is over, so we need to sum up.

Walking through the desert for more than a day, the paladin sat down to rest.
The brightly burning moon illuminated the seemingly endless dunes of the desert of death.
As tired as I am, I would like to rest now, but, given the heat of the day, it is better to go at night. Damn, fighting those fucking mercenaries wasted so much energy. And to Tay-Lon still go and go. By the way, why I never met a single worm, it's strange. I bought a spell to scare them for that price, and on you.
He smiled.
It's probably not worth joking like that, otherwise I'll croak. However, I'm probably lucky.
What is this noise? Is it a caravan? No, it's too loud for a caravan.
Rising up, and climbing onto the nearest dune, the paladin was stunned.
Golems!!!
Golem Army!!! Here? Where!
