Chapter 368: 348
The surging sea was a stage for a gigantic spider-shaped battle puppet that resembled a moving mountain. Its body, constructed of magic alloy, sparkled with a cold light under the weak sunlight.
Helen stared up at it, then took a deep breath to shake off her fear, turned around, and immediately jumped into the sea!
She must escape!
If she continued to stay on the ship, she would soon die!
There was no doubt that this being was not a natural creature, but a product of human technology, alchemy, and science intertwined, created specifically for the battlefield—a terrifying existence.
Its eight long legs, like giant anchors, plunged deep into the waves. Invisible arrays allowed the battle puppet to walk freely on the sea. Every movement of its legs stirred up enormous waves, making the sea seem tiny by comparison, as if it was merely shattered foam under its massive body.
And all the ships that usually roamed the sea freely became so fragile before it!
On its head was mounted a huge alchemical magic cannon, the muzzle flashing with a destructive light. No words were needed—one shot would shatter the warship Helen was on!
With every thunderous roar of the cannon, ships were destroyed, and people screamed as the scent of death and despair spread across the sea.
Its back was covered with magic runes and sharp black spikes, each a deadly weapon. When brave Extraordinary Exponents tried to get close, these spikes mercilessly shot out, piercing their bodies and nailing them dead.
And the Extraordinary Exponents who got even closer were instantly killed by those eight magic blades!
Countless corpses and debris floated on the sea, swaying with the waves, creating a bloody and brutal picture.
The gigantic spider battle puppet wreaked havoc on the sea, its actions full of violence and destruction. The ships that once sailed freely were now helpless before it as if facing an unstoppable calamity that brought death and despair to anyone who dared challenge it.
Ariel appeared quietly in the sky, draped in a starlight robe, holding a gem-studded staff, her eyes sparkling with profound light as if she could see through all the secrets of the world.
Taking a deep breath, the gems on her staff suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if illuminating the whole sky. She slowly raised her staff, pointing towards the enormous spider battle puppet on the sea, and chanted ancient spells.
As her chants echoed, countless bright stars appeared in the sky, streaking across it like meteors, heading straight for the battle puppet.
These stars, twinkling with bright light, carried a destructive force that seemed to devour the entire sea.
“This is it!”
“A Monarch powerful expert has taken action! That thing is done for!”
The people of the Romann and Fischer families cheered with joy.
Helen, holding onto a piece of broken plank in the vast sea, then witnessed an incredibly shocking scene!
Just as the stars were about to smash into the battle puppet, an invisible barrier suddenly unfolded around the giant spider.
This barrier was composed of complex magic runes, shimmering with a faint blue light, firmly protecting the battle puppet within.
“How is this possible?” Helen murmured to herself.
That was an attack from a Monarch powerful expert!
The stars collided with the barrier, unleashing deafening roars and blinding light.
However, to the shock of nearly everyone on both sides, the Magic Barrier stood like a solid rampart, easily deflecting the barrage from the stars.
Every impact made the Magic Barrier tremble slightly, but then it quickly returned to calmness as if nothing could break through its defense.
“That Magic Barrier’s aura doesn’t bode well…”
Seeing this, Ariel’s brow furrowed, and she raised her staff again, trying to strengthen her assault. No matter how hard she tried, however, the stars could not penetrate the barrier’s defense.
The clash between the stars and the barrier continued unabated. Although the power of a Monarch powerful expert was incomparably strong, the barrier of the battle puppet stood firm like an impregnable fortress, always staunchly guarding it.
Suddenly, the battle puppet, which had been in a defensive mode, launched an attack at Ariel!
It was a magic cannon shot, infused with extremely powerful Magic Power, and even Ariel, as a Monarch powerful expert, dared not take it head-on!
“Boom!”
Ariel wasn’t hit by the large magic cannon; she dodged in advance, a move that amazed many.
“That’s impossible!”
Everyone was stunned; what they witnessed was almost unimaginable!
There was actually something beyond the “Monarch Level Extraordinary powerful expert” that could contend with those mighty beings!
