The sound of "swish, swish, swish" approached from afar.
It was the sound of metal scraping against stone, orderly and growing louder, like thunder, quickly capturing the attention of both sides on the battlefield...
The creatures from the Dark Territory were not unfamiliar with this sound. It was the noise made when the metal legs of Earth Cave Spiders struck the ground as they moved swiftly.
"Is that... are those... Earth Cave Spiders?!"
The chief of the Death Holy City gaped at the menacing figures appearing at the border.
Earth Cave Spiders were communal creatures, living deep underground year-round. The Underground Dwarves often encountered them in the mining tunnels.
These Demon Beasts, which fed on ore and occasionally sampled intelligent beings for variety, were almost impossible to tame.
