Lord of the Waves exerted all his strength, but he was as helpless as an ant trying to move a giant tree when caught in the tight grip of the octopus’ tentacle suckers.
The razor-sharp teeth of the creature rolled through his flesh, causing excruciating pain akin to a thousand insects tearing at his body, nearly making him lose consciousness.
The Kraken, with a greedy expression, attempted to taste the lord’s blood, but the next moment, its eyes widened, and it hastily expelled the blood it had taken in.
“This blood is too foul!”
It was like drinking water mixed with oil!
After expelling the Lord of the Waves’ blood, the Kraken shuddered a few times, feeling nauseated but forced to continue restraining its victim, as per its master’s command. It was an unbearable ordeal.
Lord of the Waves felt as though he was about to be crushed into a pulp by the tentacle army.
As he saw the human approaching calmly on the water’s surface, wearing a smirk that seemed to say, “Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? Go ahead, use them all,” he felt a sense of humiliation, even though he had already suffered plenty today.
“All!! You d.a.m.ned human, I’ll have you killed!”
Lord of the Waves vented his pain-filled scream.
Suddenly, on the nearby sea, a military force of three thousand soldiers appeared. They were entirely composed of crystal, resembling miniature Earth Dragons. They all opened their mouths simultaneously, unleashing meteor-like blue beams of light.
Thousands of beams combined to create a sky-covering light curtain that shot toward the Kraken, cutting across its wounds like blades.
Screech!
The Kraken emitted a sharp and agonized cry, but the tentacles restraining the Lord of the Waves didn’t loosen a bit. The mouth beneath its head spewed a purplish-black venom towards these new foes.
However, the three thousand troops, with surprising agility, suddenly sprouted three pairs of large blue diamond-shaped crystal wings from their backs and swiftly ascended, evading the venomous spray.
“Screech!!?”
Ignoring the Kraken’s furious cries, Ji Chen watched this army demonstrate its agility in dodging the venom spray. In his eyes, a glimmer of understanding shone.
This should be the sixth-tier unit under the command of the Lord of the Waves, right?
[Sea Crystal Wyrm]
[Race]: Crystalized Sea Creature
[Tier]: Sixth Tier, 3 Stars
[Level]: 40
[Skills]: Not disclosed
[Bloodline Ability]: Hidden
[A special crystalline construct creature with flight capability and a combination of physical and magical attack abilities]
This was the first time Ji Chen had encountered a sixth-tier unit, let alone faced one in battle. To be able to deal effective damage to a colossal sea monster like the Kraken, which was at the epic tier, demonstrated the formidable power of these troops.
The Sea Crystal Wyrm, relying on its flight capability, hovered in the air and continuously emitted sharp beams during the intervals between avoiding the venom spray. These beams bombarded the Kraken’s body, leaving pockmarked craters on it due to the scorching heat.
At this moment, Benbo arrived with the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs, a fifth-tier unit at 9 stars. Without much hesitation, he immediately directed the spears towards the enemy.
The Sea Crystal Wyrm instantly shifted its target, spewing beams to intercept the spears. Most of the spears missed, but a few managed to hit them.
However, despite the spear tips, which were capable of shattering rocks, only left shallow dents on their crystal-like bodies.
Ji Chen’s eyelids twitched slightly; it seemed that the Sea Crystal Wyrm’s defenses were equally astonishing.
The Sea Crystal Wyrm roared and emitted beams at the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs on the sea’s surface, causing significant damage in an instant. It then dove down in unison, its crystal wings generating a piercing sonic boom. Its sharp claws effortlessly tore through the scales of the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds.
Many of the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs were caught in mid-air and thrown down to the sea’s surface, severely injured.
The Sea Crystal Wyrm effortlessly countered any counterattacks, leveraging its flight and alt.i.tude advantages.
In just a few brief exchanges, the disparity in strength between the two sides became clear.
The Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs, fifth-tier at 9 stars and on the cusp of reaching the sixth tier, surprisingly had little resistance against the Sea Crystal Wyrm, which was sixth-tier with 3 stars. This was still without the Sea Crystal Wyrm utilizing its bloodline ability.
Ji Chen hadn’t expected such a substantial power gap between fifth-tier and sixth-tier units.
Seeing his legion displaying such a pitiful performance in front of the lord, Benbo seemed to be growing furious. His body emitted a blue ripple, spreading onto the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs.
[Unit Trait]: Lord of the Murlocs (Leading Murlocs grants an additional 50 morale, preventing them from being demoralized or fleeing. All attributes of Murloc units under command are increased by 200%, and skill power is increased by 100%.)
The Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs’ momentum surged dramatically. With Benbo’s enhancement, their strength advanced further, approaching the sixth tier.
In their palms, strands of frost emerged, clinging to their tridents, emitting a chilling and oppressive cold.
Benbo roared, “Throw!!”
Countless tridents were hurled, flying at a speed several times faster than before, exploding into blossoms of icy blue flowers in the air, akin to high-velocity artillery sh.e.l.ls.
Within the exploding blossoms, the Sea Crystal Wyrm was caught in the burst of frost, and its smooth crystal body was covered in numerous craters.
Roar!
The Sea Crystal Wyrm was equally furious. They soared in the skies and dived into the depths of the ocean, never before subjected to such humiliation by mere fifth-tier units..
