"Continue and prepare defenses for this wave! I will be fine!" Arkhen said with a grin before his head was covered by the draconic helmet and he also let the claw projectile attacks hit him.
Of course, he only slowed down his speed. It's not like he stopped moving since Wraith was following them as well, and he couldn't afford to get hit by its attack.
*cr cr cr cr cr cr….*
Arkhen's armor suffered tons of attacks as the durability started going down quickly. The fortunate thing was that these crabs were just 1st-grade beasts, so their attacks were not that powerful. However, since their number was very high, it was foolish to attack them head-on without preparation.
[Archion Burst gauge filled to full]
In just two seconds, the gauge was filled up as 100 attacks hit Arkhen while he was flying away.
'Activate!'
"You all! Clean the crabs while the dragon keeps the Wraith busy!" Arkhen loudly shouted before a giant dragon avatar materialized on top of Arkhen, roaring majestically!
The dragon directly flew towards the Wraith and released its fire breath attack upon Arkhen's command.
After everyone defended against the wave of attacks from crab claws, they started the offense!
"Awesome, hahaha!" Jeizy loudly laughed as he saw the Wrathful Dragon Avatar troubling the Wraith monster and keeping it busy.
"Attack!" Gereld said as he and others unleashed their attacks.
The group of two elves and three humans were also startled to see that giant dragon avatar fighting the Wraith and stopped escaping as they joined the battle.
'Hyacinth Prison, Max!'
Arkhen created a giant Hyacinth Prison to trap half of the flying crabs with his full power and also started machine-gunning his Slaughter Blades.
'I need most of the killing blows! Can't waste this chance to earn a large number of reality motes,' Arkhen thought with an exciting glint in his eyes.
Farin's entire body glowed along with her bow as an intense glowing arrow materialized in her bow before it shot in the sky and turned into one hundred deadly arrows that killed over a hundred crabs at once!
*BOOOM!*
A vertical tornado filled with sharp energy leaves also cleaned over a hundred crabs. It was used by the elf man.
Everyone went all out in their large area attacks and cleaned all crabs quickly in just five seconds. The Hyacinth Prison of Arkhen didn't kill any crabs, but all of them were near death as the slaughter blades finished them off.
All crabs died as Arkhen got slightly over eight thousand reality motes!
But the battle was not over yet!
Everyone focused on the deadly Wraith and rained it with the attacks.
The Wrathful Dragon Avatar actually had its HP reduced by 70% in just ten seconds!
'That monster is powerful!' Arkhen thought.

"Imbued your soul power into your energy attacks to increase the damage on it!" Gereld shouted.
Baloth—, 'Arkhen, can you use any card on the Wraith to weaken it? After it kills your dragon avatar, its attack will hurt us a lot if we get hit.'
Currently, the Wraith was occupied by the giant dragon that was thirty meters long with fifty meters of wingspan.
In the Gravel Realm, the Wrathful Dragon Avatar was way longer, with 500 meters wingspan. However, since the laws and atmosphere of the 1st realm were tougher, the dragon avatar's size was reduced. Still, Its overall power increased to match the beings of the 1st realm.
The Wrathful Dragon Avatar had high HP and attack. It was equivalent to a 3rd-grade beast, but it was still weaker than the Wraith monster.
Arkhen—, 'The current cards I can use won't be much helpful against Wraith. They can't weaken Wraith's power. Moreover, I need to save the cards because we can't trust that other group after this battle finishes.'
Gereld—, 'Just hold on and fight carefully. We can defeat this Wraith by working together. Arkhen doesn't need to use the cards.'
The Wrathful Dragon Avatar died, but it indeed proved to be immensely useful. With everyone attacking all this time, the Wraith had less than half of its Life left.
'Velshi. Can Mayhem Field work against Wraith's attacks?'
[It can. But be sure to conjure it near the Wraith because it will reach the limit in just one attack from the Wraith].
'I'm aware of the latter.'
*Roar!!*
The Wraith creepily roared as dark blue waves shot from its mouth towards everyone in a large area. This attack was something that physical things couldn't block. Even in energy, only defense skills based on spirit energy could block such attacks!
Fortunately, Baloth and Jeizy had spirit energy ponds and defensive skills, which they quickly used.
On the other group, only that female elf possessed a spirit energy pond, but her single barrier was not enough to block the attack.
"Let us in, please!"
"I'll handle that attack! Just prepare the offense," Arkhen shouted.
Jeizy and Baloth were prepared to let the others in and combined their defense, but before they could do that, Arkhen stole the show as he used Mayhem Field and conjured it in front of the Wraith before its large area attack could disperse.
The big hundred-meter diameter Mayhem Field, which was floating vertically like a wall in front of the Wraith absorbed the entirety of the Wraith attack and…!!
*BOOM…*
Although Mayhem Field reached its limits in a second, it still successfully turned the entirety of the Wraith's attack into chaotic energy and blasted in front of it!
Arkhen grinned when he saw Wraith's Life decreasing by over 200k.
"Damn, you got some awesome power, man!"
A man from the other group shouted. He was filled with sweat because if that Wraith's attack hit them, they would be injured. Not severally, but it would've still brought them pain and trouble.
"Continue attack!"
…
*Boom!*
At last, the Wraith was finally killed in two minutes…
Alas, the happy atmosphere didn't last long. The air turned tensed as everyone floated in the air while looking at the golden treasure chest that the Wraith dropped, along with over a thousand beast cores of crabs laying on the ground.
