Chapter 379
Author: The Sole Survivor Original Source: SFACG Translator: CatatoPatch English Source: Re:Library
The Purgatory Shadowcats could be said to be polar opposites of the Hellhounds in how they lived . The Hellhounds lived as packs while a significant portion of Purgatory Shadowcats lived alone . That was why the Hellhounds tended to have greater numbers than their feline counterparts . Consequently, their territory tended to be larger as well . Yet that didn’t mean that the Purgatory Shadowcats were weak in a fight either . While they might not have the numbers to invade others, they were more than adequate at defending their own territory . This could be said to be their clan’s culture, just like how a cat’s willfulness could be said to be ingrained in their nature .
More importantly however, the Purgatory Shadowcats really had no time for invasions . They would much rather spend their time on daily tasks . Furthermore, they had grown accustomed to living in a cat-made environment . Asking them to camp outside was like asking a cat who had perfectly good home to live on the streets -stupid .
The Eight-star grand elder cat didn’t travel along with the rest of the army . With their esteemed position, they naturally wouldn’t be playing cards with the likes of Masrow and the other ordinary elder cats either . In all likelihood, a cat like that would only appear once we got into a fight with the Nightmare Steeds . Strictly speaking, this cat was the main star of the upcoming battle .
We didn’t have to wait long before the entire army of the Hellhounds made its grand entrance . Casting a glance ahead, all I could see was a mass of giant black dogs marching forward in an orderly fashion . Each and every dog had three heads, a muscled body, and eyes that barely hid their thirst for battle . Just based on that last point alone, I could tell that these were battle hardened dogs .
Their leader was a familiar old dog, Sidarth, as I had expected . Just like the Purgatory Shadowcats, there was no other Eight-star present in the army they led here .
Other than the army of dogs, I spotted roughly a thousand or so Devils following behind them like listless zombies . Around them were a few Cerberuses who kept a watchful eye on their every move .
Seeing that the Hellhound’s army was here, Sinmosa galloped ahead to greet Sidarth . The pair trotted up to me, at which point Sidarth explained that those Devils were captives they procured as a gift to me . Apparently, these were only a portion of the Devils they found . As for the rest… I doubt there was a need to ask further…
To be honest, the fact that they ate Devils wasn’t repulsive to me . The Purgatory Shadowcats and the Hellhounds were both a vital part of my plan to subdue the Warhorses . And subdue them I must . I had no doubt in my mind that these Warhorses probably thought of me as an existential threat by now .
Ever since I opened up the teleportation gate to Purgatory, the number of Devils in this region only grew by the day . There were countless exit points in the Prison of the Dead with correspondingly different landing points . That was why the Devils who appeared in Purgatory seemingly appeared at random throughout .

It was worth noting however that there were no signs of Devils in the territory of the Shadowcats . Perhaps it was because there was no teleportation zone here, or perhaps there was some other unknown reason .
I had Jeerah handle these lifeless Devils for now . I had no hopes that they would be of any use in the upcoming battle, but at the very least, they could keep up with the main army . As for those who couldn’t…good luck to them .
The Warhorses were like the nomads on Earth . They never stayed in one place for long . They enjoyed their freedom, and were born with the ability to gallop innately . Such a clan wouldn’t want to be constrained for long in a single location .
Their territory was massive, filled with all sorts of strange floral lifeforms . Part of their dietary needs were met with these fruits and vegetables, but they also relied on food from the lava lakes like salamanders or worms . That was the past, of course . Now they had Imps to add to their menu,
Unlike the cat-made environment of the Purgatory Shadowcats, the territory of the Warhorses was filled with more plants . Strictly speaking, the area they lived in could be considered a plains of sorts .
As we marched further into their territory, we came upon several temporary habitats . Normally, there would be Warhorses living in these areas, but now there were none in sight . It stood to reason that they were expecting me, with no small amount of fear as well .

Seven hundred golems, one thousand five hundred Purgatory Shadowcats and two thousand Cerberuses . Not to mention an unknown number of Eight-stars tailing us . Such a massive force was more than enough to trample over the Warhorses . In fact, my seven hundred golems alone would have been enough to do so . The Purgatory Shadowcats and the Hellhounds were merely there to stop them from escaping .
“Mama, it has been two days already . Where are the big horsies?” I was seated atop one of my Winged Abyssal Golems . As usual, Mo Na rode my shoulders, her legs swinging back and forth adorably as she continued pouting . “It’s so boring… Mo Na wants to play some Mahjong . ”
“Woof~” Cinderel nuzzled against my arms slightly to show her approval as well .
“Cinderel still can’t speak though, can she even play?”
“Woof woof~~!!”

“If Cinderel can’t speak, she can’t play Mahjong . ”
“Woof!” Cinderel continued arguing with Mo Na . In all likelihood, those woofs were her way of saying that she was fine . Just like that, the topic went from the lack of enemies to the lack of Mahjong .
In truth, I was a little apprehensive about this whole endeavour . The Warhorses were a nomadic clan, after all . Our army was huge . Even without my golems, the combined size of the Purgatory Shadowcats and the Hellhounds stretched as far as the eye could see . It was only to be expected that any stray Warhorse would turn tail and run the moment they saw our army . But if that was the case, that made things a little…awkward… we were here to fight a war, not play catch!
The Warhorses were a lot faster than the golems . And I couldn’t just ask the Purgatory Shadowcats and the Hellhounds to proceed alone either . That might cause me to be ambushed . Never underestimate an opponent . Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer .
As I hugged the two little scamps, I leaped off the golem and onto the ground . Having found Sidarth soon after, I talked to him about my concerns . His answer was simple .
“Don’t worry . The clan head of the Warhorses stays in a fixed position . As long as we find that area, we should be fine . There’s no way they would ever abandon their homebase . ”
