"What to believe?"
Matthew looked up blankly, his eyes red-rimmed as he stared at Eleanor.
"I believe the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and I believe tomorrow will be better."
Matthew nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. His father had often told him that his uncle was a judge, a very powerful man, and this sister Eleanor was also a judge, so what she said shouldn't be wrong...
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Matthew took out the box he had been holding and handed it to Eleanor.
"what is this?"
Elena took the box, opened it, and found a palm-sized silver scale inside.
Elena had never seen scales like these before, and she was certain that they could not possibly have come from the Sea King. Why would Matthew risk going out to retrieve this box?
"A comet, this fell from a comet."
Matthew said something that greatly surprised Eleanor. He had overheard Zhou Si and Eleanor mentioning the comet, which reminded him of the scale. Perhaps it could help them, which was why he risked going out to retrieve the box.
Where did you get this from?
Elena's tone became serious. If Matthew really knew clues about the [Red Comet], it would be a huge help.
It's worth noting that Dr. Kal'tsit dispatched several teams, including her precious near-Earth aircraft, in search of the Crimson Comet.
Only by finding the Red Comet and Skadi can the war between humanity and the Sea Kings possibly end.
"When my hometown was about to be submerged by the sea creatures, the comet crashed. When I woke up again, all the sea creatures were dead, and there was only a large crater and this scale on the ground."
Matthew told Eleanor everything he knew, but the shockwave from the comet's fall knocked him unconscious. Luckily, he was far away and landed in some bushes that cushioned his fall; otherwise, he might have died.
Elena looked at the scales in her hand with some regret, but it was good enough that she knew this much. The priority now was to protect the survivors and help them evacuate.
Just then, a strange fluctuation swept over them. Before Elena could figure out what was happening, gasps of surprise came from the crowd not far away.
Chapter Thirteen: The Great Wilderness Starfall is Here!
"what--!!!"
Eleanor quickly led Matthew to the scene of the riot. Wayne was there, kneeling on the ground with a ferocious expression. In front of him, a creature that could still be barely recognized as human was twisting and deforming. Its original limbs quickly turned into disgusting tentacles.
boom!
A deafening gunshot rang out, and the creature on the ground, which had completely transformed into a sea monster, instantly turned into fragments. The ground around it was also shattered by the hand cannon in Elene's hand.
That's right, the thing in her hand that looks like a pistol is actually a hand cannon, filled with a lot of incomprehensible black technology. Don't be fooled by the amazing power that Elena uses it, in the hands of her teacher, this thing can blast an entire street apart with a single shot.
"Everyone evacuated to the edge of the mobile city."
Looking at the crowd around her, stunned by the hand cannon, Elena shouted the order.
"Listen to her, evacuate immediately!!!"
Those people only realized what was happening when they heard Wayne's roar, and hurriedly ran in the direction Eleanor had pointed.
"You all leave quickly, I'll stay behind to cover the retreat."
Wayne knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and waved to Elena and the others, signaling them to leave quickly.
Matthew looked at him with concern; at this moment, half of Wayne's face was covered with blue scales.
"Matthew, you go and evacuate with them first."
Elena tossed him the communicator and then stood next to Wayne.
Even though Matthew was worried, he knew he couldn't do anything here and would only make things worse, so he gritted his teeth, turned around, and followed the group.
"You should leave too. I'm almost at my limit. I'll hold on as long as I can."
Matthew had left, and Wayne no longer concealed himself. His body had been almost completely transformed into Haisi, and at this moment, countless voices were churning in his mind. Wayne was now relying entirely on his willpower to hold on, but even this old judge who had fought against Haisi for most of his life was not sure how much longer he could hold on.
"If I leave, none of them will escape."
Elena shook her head. With the limited strength of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, it was impossible for them to escape the waves of the Sea Si on flat ground. Only by blocking all the Sea Si in the city on this road could they have any hope of survival.
"Haha, it seems there is still hope for Iberia's future."
Wayne's eyes were filled with admiration for Elene. Her awareness was already higher than that of most of the judges. With such a young person around, Iberia was not completely finished.
"coming soon."
Elena felt the ground tremble, and soon they saw blue 'waves' appear in their vision.
Elena wiped the lantern at her waist with her left hand, and the lantern immediately lit up with a bright light. This lantern was a small spellcasting unit specially made by the Court of Judgment, and when used with specially made sesame oil, it could dispel the sea spirits.
Smelling the familiar scent of sesame oil and feeling the aversion of the Haisi cells in his body, Wayne's mind became much clearer in an instant.
"They're coming, Alene!"
The old judge roared with all his might, drew his gun and sword from his waist, and went against the current of the 'blue wave'.
Gunshots, the sound of flesh being torn apart, screams, and curses rose and fell. Elena did not rush forward, but instead chose to use the surrounding environment and the old judge's fighting to deal with Hai Si.
Compared to the old judge's reckless fighting style, Elena was more like dancing among the sea creatures. Her rapiers kept taking the lives of the sea creatures, and her hand cannons were used to suppress those difficult-to-clear areas. For a time, the two of them actually stopped the surging tide in the slum.
But clearly, faced with the seemingly endless waves of the sea, Eleanor and Wayne appeared so small. Their physical strength and ammunition were being depleted every moment, but the waves seemed to never stop.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes?
Elena had no idea how much time had passed. The old judge beside her was too weak to utter a battle cry. Her hands were growing heavy, and blood had soaked through her clothes, mingling with Hai Si's blood.
Gradually, she seemed to hear a voice calling to her.
Elena mustered her strength and raised her gun and sword again. Of course, she could die, or even become Hai Si, but that would only happen after they had safely evacuated.
The sky was already beginning to lighten, and thunder was rumbling in the distance. Elena guessed that Zhou Si was fighting over there. The fact that the pressure on their side was so light must be thanks to him; otherwise, how could the two of them possibly withstand the tidal wave formed by the people of an entire city?
'As long as we can hold out until they leave, that's enough.'
As if the heavens had heard the poor little bird's prayers, a whooshing sound cut through the air, and a sword and spear radiating brilliant light descended from the sky, shattering the sea creatures in front of Elene.
The next moment, a dazzling golden pegasus descended from the sky and blocked the little bird's path.
"Elena, leave the rest to us."
Four heavy swords, as thick as city walls, followed closely behind, crushing the remaining Sea Kings into mincemeat. The frail girl, Felin, also came to Elene's side.
"Please, Nearl, Rosemary."
Upon seeing the newcomers, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been on Rhodes Island for some time and naturally recognized the two of them. Since they had already arrived, the survivors should have already evacuated.
"You two take Elena and this... gentleman to a safe place first. Rosemary and I are enough here."
Nearl looked at Vayne, who was now practically unrecognizable, and ordered the other Rhodes Island operators who had just caught up to take them away. She and Rosemary were enough to cover the retreat; Kal'tsit had chosen the two of them with this situation in mind.
"The hunter is still fighting over there..."
With her last bit of strength, Elena pointed at the thunderclouds not far away before fainting.
"I understand."
Nearl nodded. The hunter that Eileen mentioned must be the important figure that Dr. Kal'tsit had mentioned.
————————————————————————————————————
At this moment, Zhou Si was facing a giant sea monster tens of meters tall, and poured all his energy into the lightning attribute energy bottle of his shield axe.
As he swiped his sword into his shield, the sound of machinery turning filled the air. Zhou Si pulled a giant axe, shimmering with red light, behind him with all his might, its spinning blade brimming with violent lightning energy.
"Die to me!"
With a roar from Zhou Si, the axe blade sliced through Hai Si's body from top to bottom and crashed into the ground. Immediately afterward, a near-black, dark green lightning burst from the axe blade, destroying nearly a third of the giant Hai Si's body with this attack.
Chapter Fourteen: The Call of the Massive Flock (4000-word chapter)
"You must hold on, Elena."
A gust of wind swept past his ears as Zhou Si flapped his wings, moving from the air toward the city. The call of the First Speaker spread throughout the entire mobile city almost instantly, and countless citizens who were asleep were transformed into ugly sea monsters without any warning.
Zhou Si looked down at the city from his high vantage point. He could easily see countless sea creatures emerging from the buildings. They wore human clothes and even retained some human characteristics.
This disgusting and absurd scene intensified Zhou Si's aversion to the Deep Sea Church.
"strangeness?"
Zhou Si suddenly noticed that not all of Hai Si's waves were heading towards the slums; a large portion of them had gathered together. This unusual situation caught his attention, and Zhou Si subconsciously looked in that direction.
Then he saw an elderly man in his sixties, dressed in the robes of the Deep Sea Church, standing in the very center of the group of Sea Heroes.
The old man stood there quietly, leaning on his cane. His thin, bony body seemed as if it would be smashed apart by the sea creatures beside him at any moment, but for some reason, those sea creatures simply stopped beside him and showed no intention of attacking.
This appears to be the Bishop of Tulas, the culprit who turned this city into the Haisi Ranch.
"What! What a beautiful creature!!!"
Bishop Tulas was surrounded by Hai Si, his deep-set brown eyes fixed on Zhou Si, who was flapping his wings. His pale skin had a sickly redness about it. He looked as if he had seen a legendary god, his expression both devout and fanatical.
Zhou Si felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and instinctively spat out a fireball at him.
The old man gave a strange smile as he watched the fireball fly towards him. The next moment, a sea creature bit his shoulder, and bright red blood splattered out. This seemed to stimulate the surrounding sea creatures, which began to frantically gather in the direction of the old man.
Countless sea creatures devoured his body. Gradually, the boundaries between the bodies of those sea creatures became blurred, and they were unknowingly mixed together. A huge monster gradually took shape. The fireball instantly vaporized its newly formed body, but the next moment it was filled by more sea creatures.
Soon a giant beast appeared in front of Zhou Si, its huge eyes fixed on him, and Zhou Si could see endless longing in them.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the slums again, Zhou Si saw that Elinie and the others had blocked the attack, and a large number of Hai Si were being controlled by Bishop Tulas and had come to this side.
If they were to go and support Elena and the others now, they would only bring Hai Si's main force with them. Zhou Si clearly understood this.
Looking at the giant beast in front of him, Zhou Si picked up his shield and axe again. The blade rubbed against the shield, producing a hissing sound like the movement of a shuriken. Lightning flashed across the blade, and with a flap of his wings, Zhou Si swooped down towards the giant sea creature.
The tiny human with wings on his back charged toward the terrifying behemoth. The tentacles that the behemoth raised were several times the size of Zhou Si, but Zhou Si showed no fear. He simply swung the blade in his hand toward the tentacles.
The blade slid into the tentacles as smoothly as cutting butter, but the size of the blade was far too small for the sea monster's tentacles. Even though the blade was completely submerged, it only penetrated about a third of the tentacles.
Boom——
It was still a thunderclap. Hai Si's body was indeed enormous, but if Zhou Si accelerated through a combination of wing flapping and electromagnetic force, how would you deal with it?
With a mournful cry from the giant sea creature, several columns of water shot into the sky. Zhou Si held up his shield in his right hand, and the powerful impact destroyed both Zhou Si and the building behind him.
The ocean is the breeding ground for marine life, and even the giants of the deep sea cannot take away control of the ocean in large groups!
Lying in the ruins, Zhou Si shook his head. The direct attacks from the water jets were mostly blocked by the shield, and the remaining damage was barely a scratch to him.
"The real battle is just beginning..."
Zhou Si looked at the shield in his hand, which was now full of energy, and gave the huge sea monster a ferocious smile.
----------------------
"It's... incredible."
Margaret Nearl, who had just finished dealing with the Sealings, looked at the battlefield between Zhou Si and the giant Sealings and subconsciously exclaimed in admiration.
Even Pegasus, who had earned a formidable reputation in Kazimierz, couldn't remain unmoved by Zhou Si's Super Release. After all, the massive Sea King, missing most of its body, was right in front of him, and Margaret knew she couldn't do such a feat.
Perhaps even her uncle couldn't have done it so cleanly and efficiently.
"Lingguang, aren't we going to help?"
Rosemary floated over on her greatsword, pointed to the battlefield, and asked with some confusion.
"Elena and the others should have already evacuated. The best option now is to call upon that hunter and leave the city together..."
But judging from his appearance, he probably wanted to leave the sea monster here, Lin Guang thought to himself.
"Let's go, Rosemary."
Golden light shone once more on the sword and spear, and a pair of illusory golden wings sprouted from the back of the golden-haired pegasus, piercing towards the giant beast like a streak of light.
......
"Tsk, blood tankers are such a hassle."
Looking at the incredibly fast recovery speed of the Sea Sprite in front of him, Zhou Si couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. His body, which had just been destroyed by his super-discharge, was almost completely repaired in just a few dozen seconds. The swarms of Sea Sprites around him were the giant beast's massive blood bank. The worst-case scenario was that Zhou Si would have to kill all of them.
The energy bottle was depleted, and Zhou Si was about to refill it when he noticed a golden meteor flying from behind him, as well as three giant weapons about the size of the Hunter's Greatsword.
"Rhodes Island actually sent two of them?"
Zhou Si recognized their identities. It seemed that the prison cat valued him much more than he had imagined, actually sending two elite operators to pick them up at once. Rhodes Island must be facing a severe shortage of manpower right now.
"Hunter, what do you plan to do?"
