Chapter 747: Dragonwhale’s Support, Spell Bombardment
Solidus walked towards a towering figure, a man who was even larger than him by a good margin, standing at two and a half meters. He greeted him with a hearty laugh.
“Sir Samuel, you’ve finally arrived!”
Seeing Solidus, the Dragon Whale warrior known as Samuel softened the stern expression on his face slightly. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he merely nodded slightly, still looking quite formidable.
Seemingly aware of his temperament, Solidus didn’t mind. However, he was a bit surprised by the tall and noble-looking female Dragon Whale standing next to the burly man.
“Solidus, why do you look so much younger? The last time I saw you, you seemed ready to return to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales at any moment. What happened in just over a decade for you to undergo such a change?”
Solidus laughed heartily, “Caroline, that’s a long story… Basically, not too long ago, as I felt death creeping in and was heading back to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales, I stumbled upon this land and met Lord Ji Chen, who rules over the Crown of the Ocean.
He used the Water of Life from the elves to save me from certain death. Not only did he heal all my battle wounds, but he also helped me break through, granting me several hundred more years of life!
“Is that so? Then we’ve come at the right time. Who knows, maybe we can get a sip of the Water of Life too,” Caroline said.
Solidus seemed delighted to see so many of his kin gathered in one place after a long time.
Deep Sea Dragon Whales were not a communal species; their kin scattered throughout the vast ocean, free but lonely. They communicated with each other through long whale songs, parting ways after brief exchanges to continue their individual journeys. Scenes as grand as today’s gathering of hundreds of Deep Sea Dragon Whales were rare, with the last occurrence being hundreds of years ago.
Solidus looked at the kin gradually transforming into human forms and said, “Ernesto, Kayah, Kafi, aren’t they coming?”
Caroline shrugged. “They might be dead, might not have received the message, or they might still be on their way… Who knows?”
Solidus remained quiet. He felt no emotions stirring within him; after all, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale clan was accustomed to constant movement. If they chose not to engage, no one could track them down. And even if they perished in battle, they would return to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales with honor.
At this moment, Samuel, who had been holding his arms crossed, spoke, “Solidus, how’s the situation with the demons now?”
“The vanguard legion of the demons has already been repelled by us, but Dreadlord Balzarna, commanding even more demons, is approaching…” Solidus gestured behind him. “For more details, let’s discuss it after meeting Lord Ji Chen.”
Samuel nodded and led many kin to the harbor area.
Ji Chen had been waiting there for a while, just waiting for Solidus and his kin to catch up.
“Lord Ji Chen, this is Samuel, one of the leading Dragon Whales of the Deep Sea.”
Due to their unique lifestyle, the Deep Sea Dragon Whales didn’t have a true chieftain; they only had various leading whales who acted as representatives when the group gathered to make decisions.
And each leading whale was undoubtedly one of the strongest among the Dragon Whales, possessing a certain level of prestige.
This was a semi-epic-tier powerhouse on par with the Dragon Island’s giant dragon, Babatos.
“Lord Jichen, currently, a total of one hundred and eight Deep Sea Dragon Whales have arrived to support the resistance against demon invasion.”
Samuel greeted Ji Chen proactively. When facing a genuine epic-tier powerhouse, one must maintain the utmost respect.
Jichen nodded slightly.
“On behalf of the Crown of the Ocean, I thank you for coming all this way to support us.”
“No need to thank us. With the demon invasion, every creature in the orderly camp has a responsibility to resist…”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ji Chen had the newcomers, the Deep Sea Dragon Whales, settled.
He inquired about Solidus.
“How strong are your kins that numbered over a hundred?”
“Samuel is a semi-epic tier, Caroline and Morley are peak legendary tier, in addition, there are twenty-one legacy tier Dragon Whale heroes, sixty-seven rare tier Dragon Whale heroes, and the rest are excellent tier.”
Ji Chen nodded. In terms of quantity, they certainly couldn’t match the Dragon Island’s giant dragons, but their average quality was slightly higher, with two more legacy tier and rare tier heroes than the giant dragons.
However, the number of the high-end powerhouses, legendary and semi-epic tiers, were the same, each having one and three respectively.
With the addition of over one hundred hero units to the support force, the gap between them and the demons narrowed further.
When Balzarna led the vast demon army to approach within a hundred miles of the Stormy Sea, the first encounter was not with the Crown of the Ocean’s army, but with a spell bombardment that resembled meteor showers.
The heavy sky was illuminated by colorful beams of light, stirring up the dark clouds. The intense elemental fluctuations in the air caused by this colorful “meteor shower” displayed a devastating power akin to forbidden curses.
Red light incinerated everything, blue light froze souls, green light exploded violently, purple light corroded flesh…
The demons had no idea where these attacks were coming from. Even if they sent reconnaissance teams to search within a dozen miles for defense, they found nothing. It seemed the attacks were coming from a much farther place. Damn it, who the hell is attacking them?!
Three miles east of the New Moon Islands, the terrifying figure of a giant turtle floating on the water’s surface shocked the elves, dragons, and Dragon Whales to the extreme because they had never seen something like that before.
