Chapter 693: Clashes Amidst Fierce Thunderstorm (3)

"Ha!" Oceanid threw his trident into the ma.s.sive whale and ran towards its tail while dragging his trident. A long slash was left behind, inflicting pain on his opponent.

*Phwargh!*

The horned whale roared in pain. A thick black fog popped out of its body and forced Oceanid to retreat. The ma.s.sive creature then went invisible.

"It"s pretty good, but not enough to slay that ma.s.sive creature. However, my buffs are also eroded by its curse, huh... It won"t last more than ten minutes upon close-range combat." Oceanid examined his hands and body. The golden light that enveloped his body had dimmed, far from the initial estimate.

He then glanced at the battle on the other side. Since all of them received a lot of buffs from blessing magic, all of the girls" attacks could deal damage levels similar to Saint-level or above.

Moreover, it was only limited to physical attacks with minimal magic usage. Rhea was the forefront fighter with the highest damage dealer capability, other than Oceanid. She was busy taking care of the smaller horned whale.

As for Gio and the girls were busy fighting together to shower the smaller monsters with a barrage of attacks. They ganged upon a group of monsters. They moved to another horde at specific intervals to avoid being surrounded by monsters.

"They won"t last more than twenty minutes either. This Apocalyptic Domain is more destructive than I expected. But, I think things will be fine because Elysia and her master are the ones who lead the entire battle. All right, now where are you going to hide, big whale. Your G.o.ds are no more, and now it"s your turn to perish into nothingness." Oceanid put an anti-curse mechanism on his back and held the other one in his left hand. He then swung his divine trident towards the black fog.

*Swoosh*

The thick black fog was split in two, but its opponent was nowhere to be found.

"Where did that big creature go?" Oceanid muttered while looking around. His detection ability was utterly ineffective in this domain, and the horned whale"s abilities are troublesome.

"d.a.m.n it, I have to quickly kill that Whalehemoth to collapse this Apocalyptic Domain." Oceanid immediately rushed to slash all black fog areas and look for his opponent. His opponent fled somewhere even though the black fog around him had disappeared.

"Ely, Sea G.o.d lost his enemy. That ma.s.sive horned whale is missing again." Elena glanced at the blue armored man who kept attacking the empty air.

"Uuh, why is he being so rash? He is the one that does the most damage, but he often makes his opponent disappear. Just look at Rhea. She deals constant damage to her opponent effectively. Her opponent also can"t escape from her." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She also found it challenging to find the great creature because her sacred vision and advanced perception were ineffective in this domain.

"Well, Rhea is our genius girl. But, she really showered the horned whale with tons of sharp weapons. Was she not afraid of running out of weapons? She only uses minimal magic too." Elena smiled faintly to see what Rhea was doing.

"Rhea faced three monsters at once, but she kept her eyes on the Whalhemoth so it wouldn"t escape her"s watch. She buys time for the others to eradicate as many monsters as possible before their buffs die down?" Elysia concluded what Rhea might be thinking.

"Yeah, once their buffs expire, it"s time for us to jump into the battlefield before we all withdraw from this domain." Elena stretched out her hand and created a mini blast to eliminate the ambush from around the girls.

The girls were few in number, but their opponents were numerous. Even though the monsters were relatively weak, it was still strenuous.

"Hmm?" Elysia sensed that something was trying to get closer. She looked to the side and widened her eyes in shock.

A giant jaw was opened wide as if it would swallow her whole.

Just as she was about to do something, the super Whalehemoth"s jaw closed.

"Wait, what? Where are Ely, the G.o.ddess of Light, and the G.o.ddess of Blessings?" Sylvia spun in the air by swinging her spear freely. She glanced at Elysia, but she couldn"t find the supportive team anywhere.

"Sea G.o.d!? Can"t you fight properly? Why did you let that d.a.m.n whale devour Ely and the others!?" Rhea shouted loudly with anger.

"Hmph!" Oceanid did not respond. He simply dashed towards his opponent and unleashed a mighty fist into the whale"s stomach, hoping for this ma.s.sive creature to spit out Elysia and the others.

*Bam!*

The heavy blow caused some wind ripples. The Whalehemoth"s belly was dented a few meters deep, but it only opened its mouth slightly to let out air, burping.

"d.a.m.n! You"re aiming for the most important ones in this battle!?" Oceanid continued to punch his opponent, but his opponent didn"t vomit anything out. Even though he had already inflicted a significant level of damage to his opponent"s stomach.

"Whoops, we were almost swallowed up into a walking grave, Ely. We don"t know what"s inside that ma.s.sive creature, but I don"t want to risk our lives getting in there." Elena breathed a sigh of relief and revoked her barrier.

"Phew, my heart seemed to have stopped beating for a second. Who would have thought that ma.s.sive creature is intelligent enough to target us first." Elysia wiped her nonexistent sweat.

"Phew, I feel relieved too. Hey, Sea G.o.d! Take care of your opponent properly! You were the one who asked to leave that ma.s.sive monster to you, right!?" Nell raised her fist with an exasperated cry.

"Sigh, I thought you were completely swallowed by this monster." Oceanid sighed and slammed the ma.s.sive creature down. He squinted his eyes as he realized his opponent had become predominantly white, which was a sign of danger.

"I must slaughter you quickly." Oceanid mumbled and stumbled downwards to launch a barrage of brutal attacks without holding back.

"Phew, thank goodness." Yuuki and Vanessa sighed in unison. They again swung their weapons at the horde of sea monsters.

"It"s a shame you all can"t be eaten even though you resemble kinds of seafood." Vanessa muttered quietly.

"I wanted to use my divine bow, but it"s a magic attack..." Yuuki wanted to freeze everything and exterminate all these weak monsters. However, it couldn"t be done.

"Feel this, this, and this! Hehe, I"m a super girl now." Evelyn slashed her daggers at the fish and cuttlefish that came toward her. Those monsters then disintegrated into a puff of black smoke, but the anti-curse mechanism on her back works to absorb the curse.

"..." Elena and Elysia continued to monitor the course of the entire battle for another ten minutes.

When the buffs were nearing their limit, it was time for them to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Everyone, we retreat for the time being. Reality misses estimates. Your buffs are almost gone. More than this, the corrosion of this domain will injure you." Elena informed everyone via telepathy.

"Okay!"

"Affirmative!"

"Understood!"

"All right!"

The girls immediately obeyed what was ordered and immediately retreated from the battlefield.

"Hmph!" Gio punched the giant octopus with great force. It shattered into a black pulp and charged toward him. However, the anti-curse mechanism on his back saved him from the curse.

"Gio, we retreat now. Master has ordered us." Vanessa patted Gio"s shoulder and flew upwards towards Elysia and the others.

"Hmm." Gio looked up and immediately followed.

"Oceanid? Fifteen minutes have pa.s.sed, and your buffs are almost out. We"re going to retreat first." Rhea stuck an anti-curse mechanism into the Whalehemoth and fled towards Elysia. She had not managed to eliminate her opponent in that short period of time.

"You can go first. I"ll follow after slaughtering this Whalehemoth. This Apocalyptic Domain will collapse if this ma.s.sive monster dies." Oceanid kept his opponent"s slashing relentless. He didn"t want to retreat anytime soon.

"We avoid using magic so the Whalehemoth can"t recharge its ultimate attack. You can"t kill that ma.s.sive monster in a matter of minutes if you only rely on physical attacks. We back off now, or I"ll drag you back." Rhea gave a stern warning with an obvious truth.

"Shut up, b.i.t.c.h! You don"t know my pain. I will kill one Whalehemoth before I retreat! Don"t mind me, and just leave!" Oceanid snapped while glaring at Rhea glaringly. He then proceeded to inflict more physical damage on his opponent.

His opponent was already half-dead compared to its state in their first clash. So, he wouldn"t let this ma.s.sive monster go no matter what.

"How funny. Don"t be so full of yourself, Oceanid. I don"t really care about you either. Hmph! I will report this. If they want you to retreat, you will back down even if you don"t want to." Rhea snorted and flew away, leaving her opponent behind.

The Whalehemoth she fought had already become like a spiny whale. Thousands of sharp objects such as spears and swords were stuck in its body, leaving permanent wounds that continued to cause damage even if left alone.

Oceanid ignores Rhea, while Rhea immediately tells Oceanid"s answer to Elena and Elysia.

"I see, so his revenge and anger have kicked in. Let"s give him time until his buffs disappear. We will act accordingly." Elena nodded in understanding and invited everyone to approach the domain wall. They were ready to come out at any moment, but they were still waiting for Oceanid.

"Oceanid, you have five minutes to annihilate your opponent. More than that, you will be contaminated and exposed to corrosion. We"ll drag you back in five minutes, no matter the reason." Elena sent telepathy to Oceanid.

"Alright. Five minutes is enough." Oceanid responded curtly. He took out dozens of spears and pierced his opponent with them.

*Phwargh!*

The ma.s.sive whale roared in pain, but Oceanid continued to thrust many top-tier weapons into his opponent"s body. He adopted Rhea"s method to slowly kill the Whalehemoth before he would launch an ultimate attack.
