The bridge was full of people, so crowded that not even half a person more could stand on it. They were all moving ahead nervously along the three-kilometer-long bridge. It was going to take them some time to cross it.
Fierce waves splashed up from the strait below the bridge, the gray waves rolling towards it with increasing power. A single wave would easily sweep the crowded people off the bridge if it weren’t for the barriers set up by the Mages.
A deafening roar came from below the bridge. The people who were closer to the edge looked down into the spacious strait, but to their surprise, they could only see a brown body the size of the greatest warships!
Its backbone was huge, like an island studded with rocks. Half of its body was still submerged, but the other half above the water almost reached the bridge!
It swam past the bridge from below, produced a mighty gust of wind like the passing of an apocalyptic storm, even though it did not touch the fragile bridge!
Another roar echoed in the sky. The enormous creature passing below the bridge was not targeting the bridge, but the Boiling Sea Ruler charging at the bridge from the other direction!
The enormous brown beast rammed into the Boiling Sea Ruler. If it was a great warship, the Boiling Sea Ruler was merely a normal tanker. Its burning-hot lava scales were scattered across the water following the impact, and its body was knocked flying in the opposite direction from the bridge.
The force that sent the Boiling Sea Ruler flying had split the waters of the strait in half, leaving a spectacular ravine behind that almost reached the layer of mud and stone at the bottom of the strait!
The Boiling Sea Ruler had traveled three kilometers at the speed of a torpedo, but it was instantly sent backward with the same speed and momentum. If the Vast Sea Monster had not caught it along the way, it might have ended up another two kilometers away!
It left behind the deep ravine, which the seawater only filled in after a long time. Broken lava scales were scattered all over the place. The impact was so strong that the Boiling Sea Ruler had lost half of its outer scales!
“What…what just happened…”
The Sound Mage was desperately heading toward Jimei Bridge to help as much as he could. To his surprise, the third creature that had shown up from nowhere did not attack the bridge. It actually stopped the Boiling Sea Ruler in the nick of time!
Apart from a little shaking and a large number of people who fainted after seeing the enormous beast, the bridge had remained standing. It was still in perfect condition!
“What…what exactly is going on!?” The Advanced Mages whose defenses were broken through were absolutely dumbfounded.
The brown beast that had shown up at the end had knocked the Boiling Sea Ruler flying?
The brown beast had protected the bridge?
Screams were rising across the bridge. Many Advanced Mages and Super Mages had never seen such a shocking beast at such a close distance in person, let alone ordinary people. The beast’s back was as broad and mighty as an island. Its head was like a moving mountain, and its claws could easily trample hundreds of people to death!
Humans were literally ants before it. They could only be compared to a tiny pimple on the creature’s body!
