Chapter 1020 Arrival
Even without Dawnchaser's instruction, the Paragon-level Golden Suannis in the area quickly formed defensive lines to keep the white humanoid creatures at bay.
Within a short instance, the two sides immediately clashed.
The white humanoid creatures' numbers grew in the thousands as they continued to climb out of the abyss and charged at the Paragon-level Golden Suannis thoughtlessly without strategies.
Dawnchaser and multiple Paragon-level Golden Suanni frowned at their aggressive and bloodthirsty nature.
They did not seem to possess a shred of reason or intelligence.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
The Paragon-level Golden Suannis swatted at their white humanoid creatures with their claws, easily crushing them with their mighty strength.
The white humanoid creatures could not even put up a decent fight against the Paragon-level Golden Suannis.
"These creatures are very weak," Dawnchaser frowned.
"Did a Mid Paragon really die to these things? Even if there's a whole army of these things, it shouldn't be enough to instill fear in a Mid Paragon, let alone take it down."
"They just keep climbing out of the abyss. There's no telling how many there are in the abyss. However, there must be much more dangerous monsters lurking in the abyss," Goldenstride fought beside Dawnchaser.
"You're not running away, Lord Goldenstride?" Dawnchaser cast a glance at Goldenstride.
"You jest, Lord Dawnchaser. The abyss is right in front of me. Why would I leave?" Goldenstride replied.
"Furthermore, our clan is now under attack from these things. Do you think I would turn a blind to what is happening here, especially when it is such an exciting event? Perhaps I can finally test my full strength without needing to hold back."
"Milords, take a look at the white creatures in the back!" a Late Paragon-level Golden Suanni suddenly alerted the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis.
Dawnchaser and the others quickly cast their gaze into the back of the white humanoid creatures' ranks before their pupils shrank into slits.
While the Paragon-level Golden Suannis easily decimated the white humanoid creatures, the white humanoid creatures were assimilating their fallen brethren to grow stronger.
Everything was assimilated, whether it was their bone-like flesh, blue blood, or even their organs.
However, strangely, the white humanoid creatures did not increase in size; only their overall mass and strength did.
"This won't do. Physical attacks aren't working on them. We need to obliterate their bodies. Otherwise, they will continue to assimilate and evolve into stronger beings!" Goldblazer alerted.
At that moment, the stronger white humanoid creatures were already reaching Rank 2 Transcendents.
It was only a matter of time before they reached the level of Paragons if nothing was done to stop their continuous assimilation.

Meanwhile, Leon's group arrived within a few miles of Gran Crevasse's outskirts half a day later. They quickly noticed the unusually large number of cubs and their mothers in the area.
"Have we arrived at the Golden Suanni Clan's main territory?" Leon casually asked while looking around at the golden suannis.
At the same time, the cubs and their mothers looked back at Leon's group as they were passing through the area.
"No, Master," Cindertail shook his head and said, "There is still some distance until we reach Gran Crevasse. It's a vast concaved land, so Master should know once we reach that place."
"However, it's unusual for the cubs and their mothers to be gathered out here. It almost seems like they were evacuated from Gran Crevasse. But why would something like that happen?"
"I find it hard to believe that something bad could happen to Gran Crevasse when it has so many Paragons living there," Cindertail stated.
"Well, I guess we will find out soon enough, won't we?" Leon casually said.
"Yes, Master!"
As Leon's group drew closer to the outskirts of Gran Crevasse, several Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni obstructed them.
Roar!
(Where do you think you are bringing your cubs? If you have any consideration for their safety, you will take them back right this instance! Gran Crevasse has become a battlefield.)
(What exactly happened in Gran Crevasse? How did it become a battlefield?)
Cindertail and the others frowned in wonder.
At the same time, the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suannis guarding near the outskirts of Gran Crevasse stared at the newcomers with doubt.
(Have you not heard the news, or are you all feigning ignorance? The seal was broken, and creatures from the abyss started invading the clan.)
(Hold on a sec, I know you. Aren't you Cindertail? The one that lives near the eastern outskirts of the jungle? What are you doing so far from your lair?)
One of the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni in the back suddenly stepped forward as it recognized Cindertail.
Shortly after, the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni swept its gaze across the other Paragons in Leon's group before recognizing them too.
(I know all of you… You all live in the eastern parts of the jungle… Why have you all come at this time? It's impossible for the news to have reached that far, and even more impossible for you all to arrive so quickly after hearing them.)
The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni's words surprised all the golden suannis from the main clan in the area. They quickly looked at Leon's group with suspicion.
Nevertheless, Cindertail and the others showed no concern.
After learning about the situation in Gran Crevasse, Cindertail informed Leon about it. Then, Leon decided to leave the cubs in their mothers' care before proceeding to see the situation for themselves.
(Stop, Cindertail! Didn't you hear what I said? It's dangerous in Gran Crevasse right now! You will only get in the Paragons' way if you go there!)
(It's Lord Cindertail to you now.)
Despite the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni's repeated warning, Cindertail coolly gazed back and revealed his Paragon-level aura.
The other Paragon-level Golden Suannis in Leon's group also chose to exert their auras.
(P-paragon…? All Paragons! But how…?)
The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suannis and everyone else who knew Cindertail's group's original strengths were shocked and dumbfounded by the discovery.
