Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213

Behind the lines, the busiest were the priests and the White Foxes. Every once in a while, they had to cast a wave of additional magic. Inspired by the initial resistance, the priests soon learned their lesson.

They only used spells that increased resistance and attack power; nothing else was employed.

Because only by enhancing their attacks could they damage the Sea King Turtle’s shell, and only by increasing their resistance could they survive the Sea King Turtle’s magic spells. As for those who were directly bitten and killed by the Sea King Turtle, those were rare cases; it was just bad luck.

After the spells had been enhanced, the Griffin King Knights and the Griffin King themselves were finally able to withstand a hit from a water cannon or Thunder and Lightning without dying. However, after each encounter, they would be grievously injured, retreating to the rear for treatment by the priests.

Without professional healers, Du You had to rely on the priests. The priests’ healing abilities weren’t very strong, but at tier five, they had some capability. Those soldiers who were healed, carrying hidden injuries and erosion by the enemy’s Law power, charged back into battle to fight the enemy desperately.

Only soldiers from Du You’s territory could maintain this; soldiers from other nations would have likely collapsed by now.

The unluckiest group of Vajra Gryphons had already blocked three lightning strikes for their companions. The erosion from Law power was just too strong; they no longer had the strength to continue fighting and could only wait in the rear for a long recovery time.

And that recovery time was measured in months.

Only Vajra Gryphons could handle this; any other creature would either die or be maimed after withstanding three consecutive attacks.

"It’s our turn to enter the battle," Du You suddenly declared.

"Yes, the Sea King Turtle has been constantly releasing wide-range skills; it must not have much magic power reserve left now. That level of magic power reserve is already quite astonishing. Unless the enemy has some means to restore magic power."

While speaking, Lin Yucha shook her head, considering it nearly impossible. Natural recovery of magic power and stamina is something every creature possesses, but to reach the proficiency of skills is rare. Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Don’t look at Du You and others having magic power recovery skills; they were hard to come by. Such a thing is very rare both on the market and within the major forces. People prefer to use magic potions and the like for recovery. And potions are obviously not something Magical Beasts can prepare for themselves in large quantities.

"Our soldiers are also very exhausted. If we continue to fight at this intensity, we probably won’t last much longer," Shaliya also joined the conversation. The soldiers had good physical and mental stamina, so fighting for several days and nights wasn’t a problem.

But under the intense degree of combat, once they fully exerted themselves, it was feared that no one could last for too long. After all, they were still ordinary creatures and had not reached the heights of a god.

"Then let’s strike when the next Thunder and Lightning begins," Du You nodded and then commanded his Summoned Beasts.

These Summoned Beasts were called out by Du You before the battle began, and they had been hidden in the rear, not participating in the combat. As his trump card, Du You was determined to kill the Sea King Turtle, not to allow the enemy to escape.

After waiting a while, when Du You saw the Thunder and Lightning flickering on the Sea King Turtle’s body, he knew the next barrage of lightning was about to start. The Sea King Turtle had only a few powerful moves, which Du You had long understood. Moreover, after each use of these moves, the Sea King Turtle would fall into a state of weakness for a period. Had its defense not been freakishly strong, it would have been killed long ago.

Thunder roared, but this time the lightning that was striking down suddenly veered, converging towards the center. Somehow, a large bird shimmering with purple lightning appeared in the sky, attracting all the lightning to itself.

All this time, the Sea King Turtle had only been using Thunder and Lightning to lock on to targets, never preventing others from controlling the lightning because the enemy did not have the ability to control it. Having never paid attention to this possibility, it was taken by surprise.

As the lightning converged, Xiaozi couldn’t bear it and exploded on the spot. However, in the next moment, a dark shadow flickered, and Xiaozi was resurrected.

During the resurrection phase, the Ghost Pattern Crow vented its curses fully on the Sea King Turtle, even though it was mostly ineffective. The Black Jade Griffin King emerged, a dark wind raging toward the Sea King Turtle. Feeling even stronger attacks from the Gryphon, the Sea King Turtle was enraged, opening its mouth to spew out a powerful water cannon.

The Black Jade Griffin King, unable to evade in time in the air, was shattered on the spot. However, the Sea King Turtle, having exerted itself forcefully, was even more exhausted now. The Dark Magic Dragon, stealthily approaching from behind, tore through the ice and surged up from underwater.

The Dark Magic Dragon instantly landed on top of the Sea King Turtle, enduring the pain of massive spikes releasing Thunder and Lightning, then opened its mouth, and a black sphere appeared. Dark Devour directly affected the Sea King Turtle.

The next moment, the Sea King Turtle forcibly triggered Thunder and Lightning again, and the Dark Magic Dragon at its back was blown apart by the released blast. The Sea King Turtle appeared listless, letting out agonizing cries, and its limbs rapidly extended.

"This isn’t good; the Sea King Turtle is trying to escape," Lin Yushi shouted from the air, barely restraining herself from taking action.

But under such dangerous circumstances, if Du You himself would not advance, how could he let his woman go forward? "Don’t worry, the killing move is coming," Du You had just finished his sentence when a dark shadow flashed by.

The Death Scorpion had already been prepared. God of Death Descends, strengthening its own toxicity, followed by a mutually assured destructive Death Raid.

The recent Dark Devour directly tore open several large cracks in the Sea King Turtle’s shell, full of fissures. Still, even so, the shell remained firm, not destroyed.

But those cracks were not so detrimental to large creatures; for the small Death Scorpion, however, it was different. The Death Scorpion, silently drilling into one of the cracks, did not hesitate to inject its venom.

For a while, the Sea King Turtle showed no reaction, not realizing it had been poisoned. As soon as the Death Scorpion revived, it released two powerful moves, delivering a second Death Raid.

Just after completing all this, a layer of black Defensive Barrier materialized around the Sea King Turtle, enveloping it entirely. Now the Sea King Turtle’s whole body was defense, even tougher than its previous shell.

"As expected, I knew there would be a powerful move. I didn’t expect a defensive one, but I’m afraid it’s too late to escape now."

The venom of the Death Scorpion was divine in nature, essentially not something a tier six could easily fend off. After two full-force attacks, the already injured Sea King Turtle likely wouldn’t be able to hold on. But now, they needed to stop the Sea King Turtle from escaping.

The Sea King Turtle leaped into the water, followed by a turbulent underwater situation as the Frogmen Kings recklessly rushed to block the way.
