Chapter 482
by fanqienovelChapter 482: Form a Strong Defensive Line and Engage in Combat
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
“Bang!”
The sound of exploding projectiles echoed.
All around, the “creak” of heavy armor rubbing together mixed with the “thud” of iron boots stomping the earth.
The Chosen Ones warriors, with their tall bodies, marched proudly on the Far Reaching Star, resembling a wall of steel pressing fiercely toward the demon legion.
“Quick! Get to the back!”
“Move!”
Although the Chosen Ones warriors arranged themselves in a dense formation and advanced forward, they did not crowd together. Instead, they left passages about one and a half people wide between each pair of warriors.
The retreating civilians ran through these “gaps in the wall” to find shelter behind the Chosen Ones warriors.
Whenever the front row of Chosen Ones warriors got injured or felt fatigued, those in the back quickly moved through the gaps to replace them, allowing their comrades to rest.
As for the heavy firepower on the demon side…
“Whoosh—!”
A giant worm over ten meters long lifted its head and suddenly sprayed blazing fireballs at the Chosen Ones warriors.
“Buzz—!”
However, the fiercely burning flames were blocked and dissipated before the massive formation of the Chosen Ones warriors.
This was due to a gigantic shield woven by each warrior using the Holy Light from the Sun, capable of blocking most magic, even mortal-level forbidden spells!
This tactic was tailored for these overwhelming Chosen Ones warriors by Albert Drake, the founder of the Wild Grass War Organization and ruler of the Far Reaching Star.
Was the Wild Grass War Organization just meeting the standard for a regular war organization?
Was their tactical technology unimpressive?
It was simple.
They didn’t indulge in flashy methods.
Equip sturdy armor and line up to fire!
With so many warriors, the front row fired directly while the back row fired at an angle, rotating positions. The high firepower density allowed the Chosen Ones warriors ample rest.
Within the formation, towering “mining mechs” equipped with dual three-barrel Holy Light cannons in their hands and carrying a Holy Light Beehive Missile on their backs rumbled forward.
They served as artillery for the Chosen Ones warriors, ready to target enemy fire points and giant beast demons at any moment.
If demons charged into close combat, that was perfect! They unleashed a “Joyful Execution” formation, grinding demons like a meat grinder!
Of course, over this long period, the demons had undergone their own “evolution.”
Those facing the Chosen Ones had developed resistance to the Holy Light from the Sun. While still at a disadvantage against opponents wielding Holy Light and the power of the Giant God, divine grace let them fight under its glare.
It was said core councilors like Morax, Lady Xidi, and Baimeng were modifying demons to create ones completely immune to the Holy Light from the Sun.
But that remained a distant prospect.
Against the nearly endless Wild Grass War Organization, these “graced demons” couldn’t compete.
The demons were shockingly overwhelmed despite their numbers!
The newly descended demons quickly found themselves surrounded; packed with dense gray super heavy armor, they were tragically encircled by "mortals" who relentlessly pummeled them with all kinds of weapons.
The demons were pushed from the land of Far Reaching Star straight into the Ether Sea—far from where mortal civilians lived.
Though protected by divine grace in the Ether Sea’s depths, preventing their dissolution, the demons could still fight on. Yet their entire landing operation had utterly failed.
“Ah—!”
“Don’t get cocky!”
“Remember—mortals don’t decide the real outcome!”
One demon screamed desperately before a Chosen Warrior’s iron boot crushed its skull.
But this defiance held truth.
For behind the demons stood a god!
While behind the "Chosen Warriors" stood only "avatars" and "false gods," delegated by the Giant God to dominate the Outer Gods.
Still…
“Enough talk!”
“Look up!”
—-
“Roar—!”
The colossal, serpentine chaotic dragon howled as it slowly sank from the Sea of Ether to the seabed.
Its body was torn open, riddled with wounds; torrents of divine blood gushed forth, staining the entire Ether Sea crimson!
Against the mortal realm’s "living saint," these subordinate officials of the fifth-ranked Malbasi were unexpectedly losing!
“Taste my magic!”
“Roar—!”
The chaotic dragon spewed torrents of fire. Blazing fury ignited even within the Sea of Ether, surging toward Albert Drake’s avatar body.
“Sizzle—!”
Albert Drake’s skin sizzled from the burn, yet most of the scorching chaos flames were absorbed by her avatar body’s "slime armor."
Great patches of slime armor melted and evaporated, turning to steam and carrying away immense heat.
Ultimately, the Chaos Demon God’s prized chaos flames only inflicted pain on Albert Drake—igniting her savagery instead!
“Thrilling!”
“Hahaha!”
Albert Drake threw her head back with laughter, then snapped her jaws viciously onto the chaotic dragon!
“Riiip—!”
Her trap-like jaws clamped onto the dragon’s hide and tore violently!
An entire chunk of flesh was ripped clean off!
“Roar!”
Another chaotic dragon let out a thunderous wail, making the Ether Sea boil.
But Malbasi had more than one or two subordinate officials!
“Roar——!”
Just as Albert Drake fiercely bit down on a subordinate official of the Chaos Demon God, another chaotic dragon suddenly pounced!
Its long snout and sharp teeth were about to reach Albert Drake!
But at that moment…
“Boom——!”
A raging flood of ether surged in, led by another "giant dragon!"
“Thud——!”
“Ugh…”
The Chaos Demon God trying to ambush Albert Drake was slammed aside!
The Fourth Living Saint, Angna, had arrived!
With both living saints fighting together, the Chaos Demon Gods—though outnumbering them by over double—were pushed into a disadvantage!
“Hehe…”
A defeated chaotic dragon twisted its body, channeling magic to heal itself fast.
“You two foolish mortals!”
“The real fight isn’t on this battlefield!”
—-
Malbasi didn’t show up himself.
He had a big mission in the Abyss and couldn’t delay. He left the battle to his ambitious subordinate officials.
These ambitious officials cooked up a clever plan.
“You’ll let lowly mortals boss you around!?”
“Don’t forget—you’re gods! Noble gods!”
One of Malbasi’s subordinates had swum into the divine domain built by the “cup-shaped Outer Gods” and was ranting eagerly to stir up support.
He aimed his words at gods lured by the "Ancient Cup-shaped Outer God."
Most were bizarre, twisted Outer Gods from the Ether.
A few looked less ugly, though.
Like the blood octopus Outer God!
“Glurp…”
The blood octopus Outer God’s eyes rolled, its large ear blades sticking straight up.
“Yeah! Yeah!”
“You’re right! Dead right!”
