Chapter 293: Tornit's Arrival (part 2)

Tornit's presence on the battlefield was overwhelming. The ground quaked beneath its massive form as it let out a roar that sent shockwaves through the very souls of those present. The roar seemed to echo from the deepest abyss of darkness, and the battlefield trembled in response.

Althea, recognizing the imminent danger, shouted over the deafening noise, "Everyone, fall back! I will fight this undead alone."

The other Core Formation Cultivators, their faces etched with a mix of fear and helplessness, could only nod in reluctant agreement. Even as warriors of great skill and power, they understood the futility of joining the fight against Tornit. Their life force was being drained with every moment of proximity to the malevolent creature, and their attacks would only be a burden to Althea.
