With its appearance, even the members of the family figured out just what was going on.
"They cast a spell to make us attract the beasts! Kill those wretches before more appear!"
As soon as Elder Weimar shouted this, many sets of angry eyes shot up to find the sovereigns.
Only… A moment later, they had no choice but to avert these gazes, as the true king of the sea had appeared to contest this ancient ruler whose form had once again appeared on this day.
As the Great Shark made its appearance, it became obvious to those watching that it had not sifted through the layer of elementary particles on the very top of the creature comprised of the all the Heroes, like the sovereigns who had been able to see through to find the individual members of the family.
Instead, all it saw was an ancient enemy against which it had fought for many, many years, and as these memories were pa.s.sed down by its ancestors in it is very blood, it once again felt that red-hot anger which had led to its species hunting these creatures, as there could be only one king of the sea.
Without further ado, it leaped forward, and as the creature made by the formation was only the size of a large house, it was small enough to be swallowed whole by the shark which could easily have competed against a 10 story building back on Earth in size.
With panic visible on their faces, the members of the family waited for the orders regarding just what they were supposed to do.
Seeing the perfect moment they had discussed before was here, the rest of the sovereigns looked at Eloise, who nodded in response.
"G.o.dnet, cast forced teleportation. I will select the target now."
After looking around for a bit, she chose one of the Heroes who looked the most tired.
His fancy dress was completely ragged, and he even seemed to be close to closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep, which was the cla.s.sic sign of overuse of one"s Mageroot.
Instantly, he felt the danger approaching him, but there was nothing he could do.
By the time he could blink, he was standing in the air in front of the five who were all watching hungrily for their prey to arrive.
Of course, this was most apparent in Faxul, Elanev, and Xuan, but even Eloise and Kellor were excited to test out their strength and see whether they could really match up with a Peak Hero.
As the hero looked down, he saw that even though there were only a few hundred meters of distance between him and the rest of his family, it could be said to be as vast as Angaria, itself, as the Great Shark had already arrived, and everyone was completely absorbed in defending themselves.
They had found another layer of the sovereign"s plan: another barrier was waiting for them here, which stopped them from ascending to the sky, even though it wasn"t likely that they would have tried, as doing so would leave them vulnerable to the Great Sharp which could jump up with startling speed.
As there was also an incredibly strong selective teleportation formation that was being powered by the G.o.dnet, it was the perfect trap.
Seeing their situation, the elders sent a transmission to him which the sovereigns could not hear, but they didn"t care.
They knew that it must mostly be along the likes of ordering him to kill them all, so no more words needed to be said.
They had already devised a way to fight together, and as it was finally exposed to the continent, or at least, those on the continent who were watching for the first time, even the Head could not help but sit back and smile with an impressed expression on his face.
The core was Eloise. She remained where she was with an expression of concentration on her face, while a preliminary formation sprang out from her, in which the rest began to take their places.
Faxul was next - he rose behind her, and after taking a deep breath, he let it out aggressively, with the face of a warrior who had trained by himself for too long, and was finally getting a chance to showcase his prowess to the world.
A pair of magnificent wings erupted from his back, comprised of glistening black feathers that caught the sunlight and almost sparkled like jewels.
Each wing was at least 30 feet(9 m) long, and the second after they came into being, his body also transformed into a majestic Black Raven.
However, he wasn"t done. The Black Raven let out a piercing cry with scared thousands of creatures under the sea, before transforming once again into a humanoid creature that was at least 50 feet(15 m) tall with a face that was completely filled with darkness.
In fact, the entire body soon filled with that same darkness, which made it seem like a being that sucked in the light all around it.
After him, the last three sovereigns took their places at the same time.
Kellor and Elanev reached the two fists of the body. The former transformed into a plain woodcutter"s axe, which had unremarkable at first, but when one sent their senses even near the edge of the blade, they could feel their very mind being cut, which exposed its will to cut down all of creation.
Elanev kissed his right fist, and then thrust it forward. It instantly enlarged to 100 times its size, thus completely filling the fist made of darkness which had had no clear form until now. The entire thing was pulsing with veins, and with a grin, he closed it, which made a sonic boom appear that disturbed even the sea so far below them.
As for Xuan, she settled into the spot right above Eloise.
The G.o.ddess"s Path was one which also had the little-known ability of amplifying a few secret spells to such a degree that one would be able to skip multiple levels when fighting, and now, she put that on display by sitting down, as if meditating, before turning into an eye.
There were no other features on the face, so the singular eye in the middle gave the entire being a malevolent quality that could strike fear into the hearts of the bravest of souls.
