“Yes, Great Shaman!”
Coughing slightly, the indeed shocked Animu softly ordered, his voice like a divine oracle that excited all the young shamans and Native Hunters who had followed him.
Perhaps it was the first ti in history that the natives stord into Harrison Port with such fervor, unable to contain their excitent, they sprinted toward the towers that had previously fired the cannons, where so fighting force still remained, at their fastest speed.
The recharging of the Alchemical Cannons would still take so ti, during which the sparse garrison inside Harrison Port and other combat-ready hunter militias were launching attacks.
They drew longbows, rolled out crossbow cannons, and fired bolts from cover…
Just like the natives, the Imperial People who managed to take root in South Ridge were almost all universally combatants, almost everyone was skilled in so form of combat.
But for the Totem Spirits at the Peak of the Second Energy Level, all of this was far too feeble.
No arrow could break through the defense of the Mud Shield, and even if they hit the exposed scales, the result was simply being deflected.
The First Energy Level ‘Enlightennt’, the Sublimators who had completely transford and sublimated their inner organs, were like mini-superhumans to ordinary people.
They could run continuously for an entire day, squeeze the arm of a wild beast with force, smash the opponent’s skull, punch through a stone wall, or break an iron sword.
No hill less than ten ters high was an obstacle to them; if higher, it just ant they needed to jump a bit more or climb a little distance.
And those of the Second Energy Level ‘Radiance’, who were already perfecting their Bloodline True Form and gradually unleashing the Sublimation Power with various supernatural abilities, were even less likely to be stopped by ordinary people.
They had the ability to go in and out of an ordinary army seven tis without hindrance, able to rival an armored army of no more than a thousand soldiers.
For them, the speed of Alchemical Cannons was rely slightly faster than that of thrown rocks.
If the First Energy Level is likened to ‘ordinary professionals’ and ‘warriors’,
Then the Second Energy Level would be ‘elite instructors’ and ‘brave generals’!
Without the Alchemical Cannons, ordinary people couldn’t possibly inflict effective damage to the Second Energy Level, but the current torrential rain made the amount of mud nearly infinite.
Even if there were cannons in the city, it would be aningless if they couldn’t hit its vital points.
The Crocodragon advanced steadily, its Mud Shield constantly shattering under the bombardnt of the Alchemical Cannons and then continuously replenished from the earth.
The storm couldn’t shake it in the slightest, but the soldiers of Harrison couldn’t ignore it.
With the raid of the native elite squads, one after another cannon node was extinguished.
Perhaps they were not dead, but for a short ti, the garrison couldn’t continue to interfere with its advance.
Boom— Boom— Boom—
The behemoth, six stories tall, moved forward, as buildings along the way collapsed, roads overturned, and bodies and fragnts of buildings slowly sank into the mire.
A striking earthen yellow scar started at the southwest city gate and cut through half the city.
Reaching directly in front of the Viscount’s Mansion.
At this mont, whether it was Lamar and others still stationed at the Viscount’s Mansion or Imur and his party who had initially planned to lend a hand, all fell silent, rely staring dumbly, with fear, at the behemoth wrapped in mud, still not losing any of its fierce and terrifying presence.
It was a suppression derived from the innate instinct of life, and the fear that death was imminent.
In the east of the town, Ian squinted his eyes in front of the window on the second floor, gazing at the enormous beast in the city center.
“Fuck.” Fear was scarce in the boy’s heart, as was astonishnt.
The only thing echoing in Ian’s mind was a thick sense of absurdity and incredulousness, “Second Energy Level grows this big?
Wouldn’t a higher Energy Level turn into Godzilla?”
“Just what kind of creatures are living on this Terra Continent!”
The storm washed over heaven and earth, and the city fell silent in an indescribable way.
Without any hesitation or any superfluous words, the Great Shaman controlled the Crocodragon, taking deliberate steps toward the Viscount’s Mansion, opening its huge maw— those dense, sharp teeth were like files, capable of chewing and grinding even the sturdy rocks beneath the earth into sand and mud.
But then, a light lit up in the sky.
This light was not bright; it was a peaceful water blue, which would surely have been subrged in the azure sky during the day.
But on this overcast and dark rainy night, a blue star that had risen at so point and now hung on the edge of the sky was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
“What…”
Even the Great Shaman involuntarily widened his eyes, his eye sockets hollow, but the crocodragon’s red pupils rapidly focused, locking onto the teor that seed to move slowly across the sky but was actually plumting towards the earth at breakneck speed.
In that instant, he couldn’t help but recall the situation from decades ago.
“Impossible!” The old man clenched his fists, roaring, “Wasn’t it already damaged?!
That knight had defeated the Spirit of the Fog Nest, but he also died, and his armor and side sword were completely destroyed…”
Roaring did not solve any problems.
Boom!
Like blue lightning illuminating the sky, the downpour and gusting winds were pierced in an instant by that point of light.
It streaked across the cloud-covered sky like a cannonball, curving downwards with the speed of lightning, aiming straight for the Viscount’s Mansion from the sky.
Then, it ca to an abrupt stop.
Humming…
As if all the light on this rainy night converged on the figure that had suddenly stopped, Lamar, leading the guards at the Viscount’s Mansion, widened his eyes and then revealed a relieved smile.
Yet in front of him, even the Great Shaman integrated with the crocodragon looked grim, almost gritting his teeth.
It was a tall suit of full tal armor.
Sleek yet sturdy, encompassing the whole person, the layers of pale blue armor plating had a crystal-like coating, engraved with the Grant Family’s whale crest.
As the armor went into full-load operation, the originally dim dark blue etched inscriptions began to shine brightly, and the Ether Furnace Core on its back emitted a buzzing vibration akin to a bee’s hum.
The Elental Crystals inside beca dazzling in the dark environnt, enough to capture everyone’s attention.
Click— Overlapping plates opened to dissipate heat, releasing streams of white steam, but this white vapor did not disperse.
Instead, it swirled around the suit of tal armor, gradually forming into solid water blades, vibrating the air and the winds, emitting a sharp whistling.
“It’s broken, so fix it up and that will do.”
Viscount Grant’s deep voice ca from within the armor, the ‘—’ shaped observation slit emitting a cyan blue glow: “Although there are no Glyph Scholars in this city, if it’s just a matter of repair, a familiar artisan friend could do it in a decade or so.”
He drew his side sword from his waist.
Streamlined, the ice crystal-like longsword drew an arc of light in the dark: “My father did not destroy you, beast, so this ti, I shall.”
Without any superfluous words, the next mont, the fully-ard Viscount Grant charged at the Great Shaman and the crocodragon with his sword raised.
Thus began the fierce battle between Second Level Sublimators.
“What the hell?!”
At this mont, Ian, who couldn’t help but open his Foresight View and observe the battlefield from afar, involuntarily widened his eyes; his heart held no other words, just the most straightforward “What the hell?”
“Am I seeing things?”
With a simple and direct exclamation, beyond shock, the boy was still shocked: “Fully-equipped Powered Armor?”
“Just what kind of ss is there on this land, with all these damned strange things!”
