"Let's go, there's no time to hesitate now," Xia Lei said, marking the official start of the final showdown between the elite life forms of Cloud Summit and the demon whale.
With Park Soo-young, who had reached the highest professional level, joining them, everyone felt a surge of confidence. It had taken a long time for Cloud Summit to cultivate Park Soo-young into a being of the goddess of light level, and they had only reached this point today.
If a profession could only exist as a single entity, it was clear that its power would be immense. This power might not only manifest as offensive capability; it could be multifaceted, but in whatever aspect, it was enough to have a significant, even decisive impact on the battlefield.
Healing and defense allowed the top life forms of Cloud Summit to mitigate the inherent fear of death to some extent.
The demon whale was aware that if it couldn't crush these humans today, although it wouldn’t result in a complete defeat in this land and sea conflict, it would certainly postpone its victory for an indefinite period. To gather such a large army again would take at least a year, and that was without guaranteeing quality. If it needed to match the current strength, it could take two to three years, or even three to four years.
For it, that was too long.
The demon whale's entire body began to exude an overwhelming aura, and the pressure of its life form sent shockwaves of fear through the human ranks. It was as if it had cast a fear aura on all human warriors.
Cloud Summit employed various methods to counter it, and support teams threw countless potions into the fray, with support battle beasts tirelessly enhancing the abilities of their allied warriors.
At this moment, the sky darkened, clouds gathering from all directions, while the sea breeze intensified, making the ocean turbulent.
"I can't stop this ability," Park Soo-young said solemnly, her fair face betraying the gravity of the situation. Not just her, everyone felt it; the demon whale was unleashing what might have been its most powerful ability.
Humans could only watch and were powerless to stop it, as only a few top life forms could soar into the sky. Those who did go up would most likely thwart the ability but could face certain death from the demon whale.
Given that, it would be better for everyone to stay on the ground and collectively brace for this attack.
With so many ninth-level warriors, the people of Cloud Summit truly believed that the demon whale couldn't wipe them all out.
The dark clouds covered the sky, and a massive tsunami formed in the sea. Among the waves rushing towards them, one could vaguely see the glimmering cold light of ice crystals, similarly illuminated by that light within the clouds.
"It can't possibly want to use this ability to crush the entire human camp, right?"
Many people thought this as they gazed at the changing sky.
In fact, the demon whale aimed to use this ability to secure a decisive victory.
If it held back its trump card and delayed, it would be the marine beast side that would ultimately fail.
"All units, gather towards the command center!"
"Activate all defensive equipment!"
"Defense capabilities activated!"
"And if there are any secret weapons, now is the time to bring them out!"
Xia Lei’s voice echoed throughout the human camp via the Merit Medals and other means.
What she could do now was to minimize losses as much as possible. She didn’t let the top life forms of Cloud Summit scatter; instead, she chose to have them collectively resist this ability. As for the other Cloud Summit warriors, they would have to rely on their own luck.
Countless ice spikes began to protrude from the dark clouds, their numbers enough to send shivers down one’s spine. The tsunami, like a massive wall, was now less than two kilometers away, ready to crash down upon them.
"Bring it on!"
In the eyes of the human warriors, facing such divine wrath, there was only determination.
This might be their last battle.
The demon whale looked down upon all, and the people looked up, the moment crystallizing in many minds.
