Chapter 568
Maximum impact, Apollon, Chrysaor, and lightning strike, any single one of these attacks could split the sky and decimate the earth . With this combined attack, the land had been turned on its own head . The shockwave spread from the impact zone and the sound shot straight into high heaven, blocking out everything in this area .
The shockwave threatened to engulf Hinagiku & co . Like a tsunami wave, the oppressive residue came for the expedition team . Their backs started turning wet with sweat .
“What are you people doing s.p.a.cing out like that?!”
Fei Fei yelled at them .
“Magicians, bring up defensive formations and spells!”
The elite expedition team finally realized that this isn’t the time to be zoning out . They took out their wands and staffs and they quickly got into defensive formations .
The shockwave fell right before Sylph and the other magicians deployed their defensive spells . A curtain of light appeared in front of everyone, blocking the shockwave .

The curtain of light actually lasted 10 seconds before cracking like gla.s.s on the verge of shattering . The others heaved an amazed sigh when they saw fine lines spreading across the curtain of light .
It’s just the residue shockwave and it actually shook the curtain of light until it is wobbling in such a chaotic manner . This barrier was composed of the composite power of Sylph and close to 40 other magicians focusing on defensive spells . They wondered what kind of damage the ape king, the target, actually took from this combo attack .
Luckily, when the defensive spell broke apart, the shockwave already died down . The surrounding is also eerily silent, they looked at the area where the attacks fell and they were stunned out of their minds .
The attacks totally wrecked the whole place, it’s basically a wasteland at this point, trees and gra.s.s got obliterated out of existence with deep fissures in the ground . They had to squint their eyes to observe the trees on the far side .
A crater at least a 100-meter in radius is at the center of this wasteland . The smoke coming from the crater was denser than the faint smoke around the area . n.o.body could see what it’s like in the crater due to this obstruction . Wu Yan, Mikoto, Ikaros, and Astrea floated in the sky as they looked at the crater .
The expedition team exchanged looks with each other . They gulped as they looked at the 4 people floating in the sky, their eyes filled with admiration and fear . It is only now that they are fully aware that the legends that they created in Silvaria World Inst.i.tute were by no means exaggerated, it might have been understated considering the evidence at hand .
4 tier 8 individuals that took on a tier 9 monster, they actually managed to hold their own in such a despairing fight . It’s certainly something that can be entered in the annals of history . Four peak tier 6 individuals could probably win against a newly minted tier 7 . Four peak tier 7 individuals could probably fight a new tier 8 individual to achieve a tie . However, for four peak tier 8 individuals to fight a new tier 9 individual, well, those four better pray they can run fast .
It’s simply impossible to continue winning against opponents in another cla.s.s above oneself as the individual progresses up the totem pole of power . What they just witnessed, is the feat of 4 tier 8 individuals fighting against a tier 9 foe and even dragging the fight out until such an extent . They are basically the pride of all tier 8 individuals .
If they found out that only one of the four of them actually reached tier 8, what would they think?
“Di-did they do it?…”
Kinuhata Saiai was breathing heavily as she asked the girls around her . She forgot to append her favorite verbal tic due to how invested she was in this fight both emotionally and mentally .
Hinagiku and Shokuhou Misaki exchanged a look . They lowered their head in disquiet . They saw the grim looks on their allies so they wordlessly expressed their thoughts .
Sylph, Fei Fei, Bing Ling, and Bis.h.i.+ were changing their expressions unsteadily . They had a bad feeling in their guts .
In the air, Wu Yan was panting like crazy . He looked intently at the smoke-covered crater with Nietono no Shana in his hands . He’s also sweating very hard . Ikaros, Astrea, and Mikoto who learned how to use iron sand to levitate herself all came to his side as they watched the crater . They opened their system evaluation to a.n.a.lyze the crater .
