Chapter 2139: Chapter 1194: An Unexpected Crisis (Part 2)
In the blink of an eye, a giant city gate appeared before everyone.
The area was covered with ashes and ice shards, filled with the scent of blood and the strong odor of demon beasts; clearly, Leo Ray and his companions had experienced a fierce battle here not long ago.
Rewind to so ti earlier, when Leo Ray and his companions first arrived; the giant city gate had been concealed by an illusion technique.
Fortunately, Little Illusion was always by Leo Ray’s side and managed to break the hidden illusion, revealing the gate to everyone.
“Though I can open this gate, given what happened earlier, I ask everyone to proceed with caution.”
Lorenz nodded at the group and quickly approached the giant gate.
The old bishop took a deep breath, channeling a divine, warm energy wave that radiated from his frail body.
The dazzling golden light enveloped the gate entirely, and the tightly closed gate slowly began to open.
This ti, as soon as the gate opened a crack, a writhing monstrosity appeared before the group.
It was a Devouring Sli that completely blocked the passage.
And that wasn’t all; through its translucent body, more could be seen.
Behind this Devouring Sli were other Devouring Slis piled together like a barricade, completely blocking our path.
Looking up at these gigantic creatures, easily ten stories tall, our powerful allies furrowed their brows in concern.
We couldn’t fight these creatures, and their massive weight made it impossible to move them easily, leaving us stuck in a dilemma.
Most critically, behind us, a large number of similar giant creatures were eyeing us nacingly.
Just as everyone was frowning, the Devouring Sli in front suddenly let out a piercing screech as if startled.
Then, a suffocating sight unfolded.
The Devouring Slis behind, which hadn’t initially attacked, seed to be stimulated as well, letting out their own cries and converging on us nacingly, making the surroundings instantly filled with killing intent.
In no ti, these colossal creatures, like moving mountains, began to wriggle toward us, leaving trails of smoking sli in their wake.
Faced with this sudden scene, although most of the experts present were hearing the scream of a sli for the first ti, now wasn’t the ti for awe.
The terrifying montum of more than a dozen mountainous bodies barreling down caused even Cecilia, a newly promoted Tier 5 Powerhouse, to feel her legs weaken.
Most critically, these Devouring Slis were now brimming with killing intent; even if their attack power was weak, they could easily crush us.
Yet, we can’t attack these creatures, plunging us from a dilemma into a desperate situation.
“Damn it, the one stuck in the passage is the leader of the Devouring Slis!”
Red Night was the first to react, blurting out, “The leader feels threatened, so it summoned the other slis for assistance!”
Upon hearing Red Night’s words, everyone then took a closer look.
The surface of the colossal sli in front did indeed show a distinctive blue hue compared to its usual kin, appearing quite special.
“What a cunning arrangent.”
Grey Elder quickly understood the situation, and frowned, saying, “This is forcing us to face the Devouring Slis head-on.”
“But if they explode, even we can’t stop them one by one.”
Yonir furrowed his white eyebrows and agreed.
In desperation, with his power, he could create an energy barrier to contain the explosion of a single Devouring Sli; it wouldn’t be much of a problem, though it would cost considerable mana.
Yet with at least dozens of slis present, even he, Grey Elder, and Elder Bing couldn’t stop all the slis from exploding by exhausting their mana.
As for other Tier 5 Powerhouses, including Louise and Diana, the two Half-step Tier 6 Powerhouses, they probably couldn’t completely stop even one; once a widespread explosion occurred, the situation would be irreparable.
After all, just one Devouring Sli’s burst alone is enough to match the full-force attack of a Tier 5 peak or even a Half-step Tier 6 expert who has exhausted their energy; this speaks volus.
Furthermore, if our main powerhouses exhaust their strength here, how will we deal with the mysterious presence of unknown power thereafter?
As the Devouring Sli approached rapidly, not only Grey Elder and Yonir, but even Elder Bing had a grave look on his face, striving to find a solution in his mind.
“Old gentleman, how about using those giant ice gates to block them?”
Catherine’s starry eyes brightened as she spoke to Elder Bing.
“Devouring Slis can also devour magical constructs; casting such spells not only fails to stop them, but will be completely consud by them, only accelerating their enlargent.”
Elder Bing shook his head helplessly, denying Katherine’s suggestion.
Upon hearing, Yonir and Grey Elder also nodded along. If barriers could stop these creatures from advancing, everything would undoubtedly be easier.
“Sir, if I exert all my effort, I can use a confinent barrier to prevent the explosion of at least two, no, three giant slis!”
Little Jie bit her red lips, her nervous voice rang out: “Unfortunately, ti is too short. If given half a day’s ti, I could deploy a confinent barrier capable of powering all of our allies.”
Facing the ever-approaching swarm of gigantic slis and noticing the top powerhouses were helpless, our other allies gripped their weapons tightly, ready to confront them to the death.
At this mont, Leo Ray gently smiled as he patted Little Jie’s head and then said seriously, “Everyone, don’t panic. I have a way to keep these Devouring Slis from getting near.”
Having said that, Leo Ray raised his hand casually, and another group of enormous figures erged, forming a semicircular phalanx, providing us with protection.
Seeing Leo Ray’s sudden grand maneuver, the shock among the crowd made everyone focus intently.
These colossal figures that shielded us were as towering as the giant slis, their bodies covered in matte, durable black scales, appearing difficult to breach.
With their sturdy, powerful limbs, broad wings folded on their backs, and bodies shimring with rich tallic luster, the true identity of these figures was unmistakable—Leo Ray had acquired pitch-black full-tal dragon alchemy puppets from the Winged People’s Barrier Region!
For a mont, the entire lineup of 20 Tier 5 tal dragons exuded an unparalleled aura, leaving the allies who hadn’t witnessed such a spectacle dumbfounded.
After all, dragons often appear as antagonists in legendary stories; in the Human World, they are famously fearso, with history frequently recounting the devastation wrought by evil dragons.
One dragon is intimidating enough, let alone Leo Ray commanding 20 tal dragons? This had already transcended the comprehension of most of our allies!
Amidst the awe-struck crowd, even Yonir and Grey Elder couldn’t help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
Having seen much, they were naturally aware of the imnse value contained in such scale and the capability of alchemy puppets. Owning just one is enough to hold sway over a nation, let alone 20!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that even if combined, the rcenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild couldn’t produce such a staggering display!
“You have to admit, this young man from the Otherworld surely knows how to surprise everyone endlessly.”
Amidst the shock of the top-tier human powerhouses, those colossal Devouring Slis, intimidating in their montum, shrieked as they launched themselves at the ranks of tal dragons.
