Chapter 692: Clashes Amidst Fierce Thunderstorm (2)

Amidst the fog and fierce storm clouds, the shadows of two giant whales could be seen faintly. Both creatures possessed a long, sharp golden horn that emitted lightning every now and then.

Despite their ma.s.sive body, the two giant whales swam through the air effortlessly. It was as if they could fly as long as they kept swimming.

*Phwargh*

One of the more enormous giant whales made a strange and thrilling noise. It echoed throughout the area as if it was sending a signal of something.

"What, what kind of creatures are they? They are so large and look very dangerous. Whales?" Sylvia gaped in amazement as she stared into the distance.

At that moment, the smaller giant whale glanced at Elysia"s group with its red eyes. Its eyes suddenly turned white, and any existence within that fierce thunderstorm gradually became invisible to the eye. The thick black fog blocked the view from outside and interfered with any detection capabilities, only darkness.

"Disappear?" Elena muttered in confusion. She couldn"t see or detect anything inside that fierce thunderstorm anymore.

"Even you can"t detect what awaits us in that Apocalyptic Domain? In that case, it"s really going to be a tough battle. They purposely challenged us to go in there to slaughter us, huh?" Oceanid was a little taken aback, but that didn"t change what he would do next.

However, Rhea immediately interrupted before Oceanid put on his divine battle armor. "Wait, please don"t be rash or set off without a plan. Who we are dealing with are Apocalypse Beasts, not like the previous Calamity Beast."

"Since they challenged us, they are obviously well prepared to face us, especially you, Sea G.o.d. They are the Whalehemoth, the most troublesome Emperor-level monster under that Liquid Cursed G.o.d"s orders, right? Have you forgotten what happened to you and your comrades in the Battle of the Black Ink Sea?" Nell reminded the obvious with a painful truth.

Oceanid held his chest reflexively. It was painful to remember, but the incident was still vivid in his mind.

That great battle killed two of his best friends and contaminated half of his body. The three great forces he led had no survivor, including all of his loyal subordinates. He was the only one alive in that deadly battle.

Those sacrifices could only eliminate two Cursed G.o.ds and seal tens of thousands of dangerous monsters in several sealed areas.

He won that battle, but what about the price to pay for it? It cost him everything. With such a heavy loss, he could say that he lost the war.

"What"s the plan?" Oceanid took a deep breath and sighed. He turned around and suppressed the vengeance within him.

"Good, we shall win the battle without suffering a loss if we remain calm and well-planned. Before all that, let me tell a few things to the G.o.ddess of Light and Elysia. They are our key to victory." Rhea raised her hand to ask Oceanid to wait.

She then shared some essential information with Elena and Elysia, but the others listened too. After all, everyone would be involved in the battle. After that, she proceeded with a plan.

"Apocalypse Beasts, huh... Despite its ma.s.sive body, its abilities and traits are quite tricky and troublesome. Not only are they immune to magic, but can they absorb it to strengthen themselves? High resistance to physical attacks, and they"re waiting for us in their deadly domain." Elena folded her arms and stared at the thunderstorm in the distance.

"I can use magic to disrupt that Apocalyptic Domain"s disturbance. Our opponents are not just those two whales. Thousands of monsters await us and are ready to attack as soon as we enter that storm." Elysia proposed a temporary solution to ease their fight.

"Ely, the G.o.ddess of Light, your magic is unique and special, effective in fighting accursed creatures. I want you to be at the backline to monitor the course of all battles. We will ensure all enemies can be slaughtered with zero loss." Nell raised her hand for attention.

"Very well, but we"ll jump to the front if we feel it"s necessary. Meanwhile, Gio can"t use his full potential in this naval battle. How about you all, girls? Are you ready for this deadly naval battle? This will probably cost your life." Elena had no objections to the proposal. She was more worried about these girls.

"We are ready to fight it out! It doesn"t matter if I die. You and Ely will bring me back to life, right?" Sylvia responded with great faith.

"My life belongs to the G.o.ddess of Blessings. I will be there to wipe out those monsters." Ella clasped her hands in prayer.

"Life and death are only separated by a thin thread since my existence is tied to you, master. It doesn"t matter the outcome. I will be there to serve by your side." Vanessa put her hand on her upper chest with a tender smile. There was no fear in his expression at all.

"I will eliminate all your enemies. There is no doubt." Yuuki stared at the black storm with a sharp gaze full of conviction.

"I will do my best!" Evelyn raised her fist.

"Hm." Gio just folded his arms. Everything he knew, he and everyone needed to eliminate all the monsters in that storm. That was what his senior told him.

"All of you... But, please follow the plan, okay? There is no violation as the anti-curse zone isn"t very effective at covering all areas in that fierce storm. Here, you all bring two anti-curse mechanisms. Please retreat immediately when our orders come or when you have reached your limit. My master and I will a.s.sist all of you from behind to direct the course of the battle." Elysia gave everyone two anti-curse mechanism staff.

"We will try our best to ensure everyone"s safety. However, no one will act rashly. We are not going to save you by endangering the others. Do you understand? This is an apocalypse cla.s.s battle." Elena emphasized her point.

She had no idea how strong the monsters in that ferocious storm were. Still, it was definitely far more potent than the Emperor-level monsters they had ever fought.

"Understood!" The girls replied in unison.

"Good, then put on your divine battlesuit, and we will enter the battlefield." Elena nodded as she glanced at Nell, Rhea, and Oceanid.

Everyone proceeded and immediately summoned their divine battlesuit. They flew a few hundred meters towards the sky, and the Gravy Ark was tucked back into Elysia"s s.p.a.ce Bag.

"Ely." Elena gave a signal. It was time for them to get rid of that thick fog and ferocious storm.

Elysia replied with a subtle smile. She grabbed the hand of the six-winged golden angel beside her.

Elysia closed her eyes and measured the vast distance of the fierce thunderstorm with the help of the wind. Elysia opened her eyes again and spread her arms. "Twenty kilometers in radius and five kilometers deep. We can do this."

Elena immediately helped with what Elysia wanted to do.

A golden aura enveloped them, and a golden energy orb appeared above their hands. They simply gave a gentle push to it.

*Swoosh*

The golden energy orb shot into the sky towards the midpoint of the thunderstorm.

*Boom!*

The golden energy orb instantly exploded and created a gigantic hurricane that seemed to suck everything in. Huge gusts of wind continued to hit the storm domain below, trying to force it to collapse.

The dreary dark sea was illuminated by a warm and bright divine light. The golden light tried to destroy the storm with another storm. The pitch-black fog was sucked into the gigantic golden vortex of light in the sky.

When the golden energy orb reached its limit capacity, Elena raised her hand and gripped the empty air.

*Boom!*

The golden energy orb shrunk slightly and exploded, destroying all the curse energy into nothingness.

"Aah, those horned whales keep releasing that black fog, huh... They really are swimming in the air too." Elena smiled wryly as she looked down.

The seawater was utterly black like ink within a twenty-kilometer radius of the ocean. Two ma.s.sive whales swam through the air, alongside many other terrifying monsters.

"Two Emperor-level, four Saint-level, sixteen Spirit-level, and over a thousand other monsters. It will be a long battle." Elysia muttered under her breath, but it could be heard by everyone.

"It"s showtime?" Sylvia asked the Sea G.o.d. He would lead this battle at the forefront.

"Yeah!" Oceanid b.u.mped his fists. He put his hand into his chest and pulled out his strongest trident.

Rhea and Nell looked at each other and nodded. They stretched out their hands to cast many blessing magic on their group to boost everyone"s battle power.

Elysia and Elena also added some complementary magic to increase everyone"s stats. The last one, Sea G.o.d gave the blessings of the ocean to everyone.

"This? This kind of power! Powahh!" Sylvia widened her eyes to look at her hands. Her body was wrapped in a blanket of gold and blue light.

"Is this what it feels like to be someone who can fight alongside the G.o.ds? The blessing magic of the five divine ent.i.ties?" Yuuki couldn"t contain the surge of enthusiasm within her.

"Even if it looks like an aerial battle, we will enter an invisible sea in the air. You have thirty minutes before you must withdraw from the battlefield. Please don"t die. I"ll be leaving first." After saying that, Oceanid dashed into the Apocalyptic Domain.

*Splash*

Oceanid was like jumping into the water. The gold and blue light that wrapped around him stirred slightly from the invisible corrosion, but it didn"t do any damage to him, at least for now.

"Hahaha! Die, you trash! Don"t get in my way, you lowly creatures! Whalehemoth, come and face my wrath!" Oceanid immediately went berserk and attacked anything in its path.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Slash!*

"Oh my, it looks like he"s having fun. Ely, everyone, I"m going too!" Sylvia grinned and gripped her spear tightly. She then dashed into the battlefield.

Yuuki, Vanessa, and everyone else followed shortly after. Elysia, Elena, and Nell were at the very back as they were the ones who had the primary role in ensuring the victory of this whole battle and everyone"s safety.

"Hmm..." Elysia cast another spell to eliminate the curse energy fog. However, she still felt that their presence didn"t make the two ma.s.sive whales feel threatened.

"Those horned whales can go invisible? Sea G.o.d is having a bit of trouble right now. But isn"t there something odd in this domain? What do you think, Ely, little one?" Elena also sensed what Elysia was worried about.

"Yeah, I have a bad feeling too, but I don"t know what it is. It looks like it"s coming from the Whalehemoth. Let"s wipe out as many accursed monsters as possible in the first thirty minutes." Nell nodded in agreement and looked at everyone a little worriedly.

The three of them proceeded to cast their support magic periodically. This was just the beginning of the battle.
