The sudden loss of light silk and light beams created gaps in the defense line.
Thanks to the Su Clan members' reminders, the defenders were somewhat prepared, but facing seemingly endless opponents and without the help of the energy array, they had to quickly retreat. Otherwise, they would be overwhelmed and never seen again.
Several screams echoed, and He's expression darkened as another novice died, along with several injuries. She and her clan's water chain could not provide complete protection.
With their numbers already small and temporarily losing their support, the attackers realized this was an opportunity.
Many instinctively quickened their attack pace, hoping to seize the moment to enter the core of the energy array. At the very least, they aimed to inflict significant casualties on the defenders to lay the groundwork for victory.
It had been just over fifteen minutes, and based on the situation, the battle was expected to conclude in about twenty minutes. This aligned closely with the estimated time.
"Charge!"
At this moment, Jie Su shouted sharply, and all the defenders in the battle shifted positions.
It was as if they were ready to give up outright.
Then, while the attackers were puzzled, light slashes erupted from the silk sea light array, sweeping across the entire slope in an instant.
Countless lives fell in patches, and what had been an intense battle suddenly came to a halt.
The survivors retreated in a panic, their faces filled with shock.
Just moments ago, their side had lost too many people.
Previously, around ten mature warriors had died, and fewer than a hundred novice warriors had fallen. They had already felt that this was the limit. Given the power comparison between both sides, the attacked targets had already performed exceptionally well with the energy array's assistance! They thought that losing a few more when dealing with the tricky figures like Pao Bai and Jie Su would just be a part of the deal.
But the light slashes had come so suddenly, and their power was overwhelming. In that instant, at least over one hundred mature warriors and six hundred novices were cut down!
Now, those resilient races were still twitching and struggling in the array, praying for a miracle in their final moments, hoping to survive.
But soon, they quietly passed away, adding another blood-stained badge to the name of the silk sea light array.
Originally, there had been about thirteen or fourteen hundred attackers, but now only over seven hundred remained, with casualties nearing half.
This scene not only stunned the attackers but also left countless beings watching the battle through light barriers either silent or gasping in awe.
Has the silk sea light array really gained such power? It seems the Su Clan has enhanced it over the years.
And what about the other formations if the silk sea light array has been improved?
The Su Clan has clearly made significant progress.
As the battle paused, both sides appeared to revert to their initial state, but with still several minutes left in the novice battlefield, both knew the fight would continue.
"The damage has exceeded eighty percent; the final strike can no longer be executed."
Jie Su's voice was not loud, but it reached all the defenders clearly.
Most of the people were unaware of what the final strike of the silk sea light array was, but they all knew it was bound to be immensely powerful. If it could be unleashed, perhaps victory could truly be achieved.
Just look at those earlier light slashes to understand.
Such a pity.
"But there is still a final effect," Jie Su said. "I will slightly alter the array's structure, transforming it from an offensive array to a defensive one. Its remaining capabilities will bolster everyone's defense and provide a slight increase in attack power."
Jie Su clenched his fist, his expression calm, but his heart was filled with reluctance.
