The mere dispersion of demonic energy possessed such power, indicating how formidable the Dreadlord Balzarna, the mastermind behind it all, truly was.
Ji Chen speculated that the Dreadlord Balzarna must have power beyond the epic tier to have survived the several hundred thousand years of suppression.
Placing hundreds of Demonic Blood Pearls back into their special container, Ji Chen stowed them away in his backpack. His heart felt heavy as a big stone. The next step was much simpler: breaking through the encirclement of the corrupted creatures and leaving this semi-closed mystic realm.
One day later.
All the Ocean Pixies had gathered in the square, fully prepared.
Elwin, clad in armor and wielding a spear, approached Ji Chen with a solemn expression, saluting with folded hands. “Lord Ji Chen, we arc ready.”
Through Elwin’s shoulder, Ji Chen saw all eight thousand Ocean Pixies looking at him closely, their eyes filled with anxiety, worry, and… hope.
He felt a slight sense of disappointment and chose to remain silent, simply nodding in response.
At the same time, the Ocean Crown champions and heroes lurking outside, upon seeing the assembled Ocean Pixies within the protective shield and their lord, quickly understood what was happening.
Herald saw this and spoke with certainty, “My lord wants us to protect their breakout!”
Benbo, who had previously lured away the corrupted creatures and returned, nodded. “It seems we also need to protect those Ocean Pixies.”
Solidus crossed his arms, and his exaggerated muscles swelled in his chest. He smiled indifferently. “Now I can let loose and have a good fight. Since I’ve recovered my vitality, I haven’t had a proper battle.”
Diago, the Dragon Horn Catfish hero who surrendered as a defeated general from the Great Luminescent Sea, had a shimmering light in his eyes, indicating his inner unrest.
The Northern Continent’s sea monster, the Kraken, couldn’t contain its desire for battle any longer. It charged forward without waiting for orders, its eight thick tentacles sweeping through the air like giant windmills.
Several hundred corrupted creatures were sent flying like baseballs, and many of them lost their lives in the process.
As soon as they spotted the enemy, the tainted creatures around them erupted into action, charging forward with their teeth bared and claws at the ready, much like water splashing into a hot pan.
Seeing this, the other Ocean Crown heroes no longer hesitated and joined the battle with their respective armies.
Solidus charged forward like a raging bull, swinging his iron fists like heavy hammers. Corrupted creatures that touched him died instantly, and even the seawater seemed to be displaced.
Diago led the Dragon Horn Catfish, positioned in the rear, and brilliant lightning flashed in the dim sea. The lightning, traveling through the water, not only killed enemies but also created a strong paralyzing effect, helping the allied forces achieve better results.
This hero, who had once been an adversary but had now tempered himself, was contributing his strength to the Ocean Crown.
One of the two legendary heroes, Benbo, led a charge with Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs and Lobster Guardian Knights from the side, cutting through the enemy like a razor blade, closing in on the protective shield.
A large number of corrupted creatures were drawn away, causing their previously tight formation to thin out considerably. Seeing this opportunity, Ji Chen decisively said, “Remove the shield, we’re going!”
Elwin immediately shouted, “Disable the shield and bring the shield’s core!”
Soon, the shield that had been open for two full years disappeared from view without a sound. The malevolence of the outside corrupted creatures seemed to rush in all at once, and the eyes of many Ocean Pixie civilians revealed fear.
“Stay close to me, don’t get separated.”
They looked slightly astonished at Ji Chen, at his not-so-broad back, but they felt a sense of security.
After the shield disappeared, the presence of the living creatures seemed to have spread, and many corrupted creatures rushed forward with greedy and cruel eyes.
Their minds, completely tainted by the demonic energy, followed the most primitive thoughts of slaughter and consumption.
Ji Chen’s expression remained unchanged. His right palm suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a rapidly spinning giant vortex quickly formed in front of him, sucking in the approaching corrupted creatures one after another.
With a push of his right hand, Ji Chen’s body slowly advanced, and the giant vortex also moved forward slowly.
Elwin’s eyes widened, showing shock and horror, but he immediately reacted, “Follow closely behind Lord Ji Chen!”
Thousands of Ocean Pixies followed closely behind the Ocean Crown army, looking at the small but majestic figure in awe.
Under the protection of the vortex, Ji Chen and his group successfully broke through half of the distance. When the vortex disappeared, there was no need for further words. Ocean Pixie soldiers took up their weapons and formed a defensive line at the edge of the group, protecting the civilians as they retreated.
During this breakout, Benbo and his group were also making efforts on the other end, piercing through the enemy’s formation.
The combined forces of the Ocean Crown and Ocean Pixies, totaling less than ten thousand troops, were like a grain of sand in comparison to the nearly one hundred thousand corrupted creatures. However, quantity did not always equate to strength. Several high-tier heroes from the Ocean Crown led the charge, creating gaps in the enemy’s ranks.
If one looked closely, even though the corrupted creatures appeared to be numerous and had a significant numerical advantage, they were unable to halt the progress of the Ocean Crown’s breakout..
