978 Divine Baby Part 2 (2/2)

Seawater filled the huge crack, and when the cannon was fired, round vacuum tunnels formed wherever the light beam passed. However, surprisingly, all of the seawater was not evaporated by the beam, but was completely purified by it instead!

That one shot hit the altar squarely, and the four believers who were receiving their blessings before the altar were reduced to dust in an instant. Luckily, the girl was able to react before the cannon was fired.

However, she was still unable to save her believers. In an instant, she leapt up and retreated to the center of the altar. At the same time, a charred circle that had a diameter of five meters appeared on the steps of the altar.

”Keep at it!” Saleen said upon seeing that the level 12 magic nuclei on the cannon were hardly depleted.

Such a thing was better left to a mage of level ten and above to handle. While Vinny was a level ten elemental creature leader, Vinny's magical abilities were still far below Saleen's.

”Da*n!” The girl was startled by the magic tower's sudden attack. In fact, if she had not been so quick in her response and had been able to escape, the shot would have seriously injured her.

As her body had yet to grow to that of a true pseudogod stage, an attack from a magic cannon could have been fatal to her! As she thought of this, she looked at the believers that were by her side and felt frustrated. If only I had more time. After all, there aren't even 600 of them here!

She then lifted her hand and pointed forward, where a translucent green barrier had just emerged at the edge of the altar. The Goddess of Myers' Life Protection divine spell was equal to the Divine Protection of the Lord of Light. In fac, it was actually even stronger!

”Omand was issued, an energy beam shot out of the magic cannon. At that moment, the Divine Baby Girl's face turned completely pale on the altar that was located about a mile away. The third attack landed right beside the Life Protection barrier, causing yet another level nine believer to fall to the ground and never wake up again!

Luckily, the Divine Baby Girl had been smart enough to decide on the safest place to sit, having all of her believers surround her. At that moment, over 500 believers began praying as they knelt before the Divine Baby Girl and recited words altogether...

”O' Myers almighty, guardian of the plane and the goddess of nature, we're willing to dedicate my life to follow your will. Be it an abyss or a purgatory of evil before us, we vow to continue moving forward, without any intention of backing away!”

The violent energies within the Divine Baby Girl became suppressed as the believers continued praising her and chanting. Those energies were then quickly absorbed, which simultaneously sped up the Divine Baby Girl's growth rate.

The green transparent barrier rippled again, causing yet another believer to slump over and die at the altar, killed in mid-chant. The surrounding believers behaved as if they had seen nothing, while continuing to bow and pray to the Divine Baby Girl.

More than 800 level nine monsters charged through that crack and came before the Magical Element Tower, fighting the elemental creatures in fierce battles. Nailisi felt anxious and wanted to help, but Saleen said coldly, ”I'll need you to help here later. So, you must stay here!”

While all of them were level nine creatures, the blue humanoid creatures were at a disadvantage in terms of power. All of the elemental creatures were at least 20 meters tall and didn't need to defend themselves during times of war.

In contrast, the blue humanoid creatures were utterly incapable of defending themselves against attacks from elemental weapons. Things quickly escalated into a complete bloodbath as the elemental creatures killed four blue monsters before having their elemental cores broken and returning to their respective badges.

Midnight Fangs were the most special, as their attacks were the most powerful. After their energies were depleted from killing four monsters, they would have returned to their badges, except for the fact that their restoration speed was so quick that the enemy was incapable of destroying them.

At that moment, costs no longer mattered to Saleen, as he wanted to get rid of the Divine Baby no matter what price he had to pay. He decided to keep only 24 of each elemental creature with him, sending all of the other remaining ones outside the tower.

He was unable to restore the number of lost Blue Ice Maidens. Hence, if any of those elemental creatures were taken out, he would not be able to mobilize them again within three months' time.

Then, both sides engaged in fierce fights with each other yet again. There were still blue humanoid creatures that were climbing out of that same crack out in front, and it seemed that every attack from the magic tower killed one believer at the altar.

Hence, the number of believers at the altar quickly dwindled, and the growth rate of the Divine Baby's power began to slow drastically. The elemental creatures that were guarding the tower also dwindled gradually. Although the speed at which the monsters were emerging from the crack was slow, the monsters kept coming nonetheless.

Saleen felt exasperated as he took out his War Drum of Fear and placed it before him. Although none of the pests within the drum were over level eight, at least the crisis would be averted for the time being if they were unleashed...
