Chapter 1560 1388: Clash 3

Grrrr!

The Phantom Beasts lifted their heads and let out menacing growls.

Their body became even clearer and larger. In the blink of an eye, the wolf-sized Phantom Beasts became as huge and tough as rhinoceroses. Not only that, but razor-sharp ice thorns also extended from their shoulders. In midair, the transparent Batfishes were now equipped with thicker ice armor. Their beautiful long tail had extended by more than two-meters while the sharp, dazzling ice edges on their tails let off an ice-cold radiance. On the other hand, the Blue Elves became taller, took up the shape of the standard Elves with beautiful ornament adorning their bodies. Not only that, but their hair also became smoother and silkier and the constantly moving tentacles looked as though seaweed swaying in the sea.

Alex looked ahead and gave a short command.

"Attack."

At the next moment, the scorching sea of flames and silver-whitish waves clashed heavily.

Water versus fire. The perfect counterattack.

The soldiers above the city walls were completely stunned.

They stared blankly at the scenes in the air and on the ground that were filled with steam and chilly mist. Bright flares flashed from time to time and loud explosions were heard.

"Miss Mila."

Alex wasn't in the mood to admire this beautiful scene.

"How's the situation?

"We don't have a chance yet."

"Hehehe."

Alex twitched his brow and let out a grunt.

"Don't worry. I shall see how long they can hold back."

He extended his arm and along with his movements, his mana was consumerd and the waves that were as tall as the city walls extended once again. Then, tens of thousands more water elemental creatures emerged and joined in the battle.

Vandal commanded.

The chaotic battle instantly ended.

The fire elemental creatures suddenly turned around and headed off in the opposite direction. In the blink of an eye, the violent sparks vanished and the dusky, scarlet creatures retreated and left the attacking range of the fortress. On the other hand, Alex gestured and the water elemental creatures abandoned the thought of giving chase, which was closely tied to their personalities. Water elemental creatures were mostly calm and submissive while fire elemental creatures were rowdy and hot-tempered. Shortly after, the chilly wind swept the fog along and revealed the traces of explosions, burns, and presence of the shimmering Phantom Beasts and Batfishes.

The whole city walls was in complete silence. The soldiers were dumbfounded. They had never expected to witness such a fantasy-like battle. After the fire elemental creatures retreated into the distance, the soldiers broke into loud cheers. Although they weren't involved in the battle, they were fired up by the magnificent scene.

However, Alex wasn't as delightful as them. He gazed forward coldly.

"Alice, order the Healers to cast the defensive barrier. Now!"

"Yes, Mr. Alex!"

Alice turned around and commanded hurriedly. The Healers scuttled forward and chanted softly in unison, where sacred, complex runes appeared and merged together. Shortly after, a golden spiritual radiance flashed and a translucent barrier emerged over everyone. On the other hand, the leader of the Ocean Elves stepped back while their tentacles spiraled gracefully in midair to draw azure runes one after another. In the blink of an eye, a new, smooth, solid ice barrier grew over the fortress.

At the same time, sparkling radiances that resembled stars emerged in the darkness on the opposite side.

Those weren't the brilliance of stars. Those were arrows lit up with spiritual flames.

"Ambush—!"

A rain of countless arrows streaked across the dark sky and engulfed the entire fortress. The soldiers lifted their shields and hid behind the walls, only to find the arrows clattering on the invisible, defensive barrier over them. For the time being, all they could do was to take cover and wait for the arrow attack to end.

Alex stood on the peak of the tower proudly. The arrows that were about to reach him were deflected by an invisible strength. He clasped his sword hilt and narrowed his eyes.

Although there seemed to be nothing ahead, he sensed his heart pumping fast because he was familiar with this feeling. In the game, this was a usual scene from his battles with the Undead Creatures and now, the entire battle had set onto the path which he was most familiar with.

The rain of arrows lasted for about six minutes. The soldiers lifted their heads frantically. The ones who fought the Undead Creatures in the previous battle appeared fine. However, it was shocking for the newer soldiers to experience such a terrifying arrow attack. There was an instant when they thought that the arrows were indefinite and they would be buried by them like a wave.

Shortly after, they heard a deep sound from afar.

Boom... Boom...

Boom...
