Chapter 1159
Of the original ten factions, only eight remained. The Shadow Tower and Dunespire Tower had been utterly wiped out, but at this moment, the Odin Royal Family conveniently chose to forget about those two factions.
The Shadow Tower never had a good reputation, nor any friends—no one cared about their fate. Though Dunespire Tower was powerful, its members had vanished; even if they weren’t all dead, they were close enough.
Besides, the mages of Dunespire Tower were always unsociable. Other than the Odin Royal Family, nobody spoke up for them. Now, with the lure of immense profit, even the Odin Royal Family had stopped mentioning Dunespire Tower.
Eight factions—two or three hundred people in total—advanced in a mighty wave toward the Alchemical Array.
As if sensing the approach of the Human Alliance’s army, the Dark Night Phoenix lying in the basin where the Alchemical Array was set suddenly raised its head. Its eyes, burning with black-blue flames, glanced coldly at the alliance before shutting again, too lazy to even bother with the advancing army…
The Sky Rank Level 2 Dark Night Phoenix completely ignored the human forces, showing utter disdain. But the pseudo Sky Rank beasts resting nearby began to stand up one by one.
Suppressive, angry growls spread outward. One after another, the massive pseudo Sky Rank beasts raised their heads toward the human mage coalition, their savage aura rising relentlessly.
A vast, chaotic aura swept out as the dozens of pseudo Sky Rank beasts mingled their power, stirring up a whirlwind almost instantly. Within several kilometers of the Alchemical Array, elemental energies grew increasingly violent.
That chaotic aura became a column of smoke hundreds of meters thick, shooting skyward. The clouds above tore apart, dissipating instantly, and even the edges of the Blazeforge Battlefield shuddered under the onslaught of that violent energy.
Dida La led the mages of the Burning Tower at the front. Orange flames summoned by Dida La were wielded by the Burning Tower mages, unleashing powerful fire spells.
The raging fire became a torrent, crashing fiercely into the leading pseudo Sky Rank beasts. Six massive Ironclad Dire Tigers blocked the front line, relying on their formidable bodies to withstand the Burning Tower’s assault.
At the same time, the other factions sent their own people to join the attack. Instantly, a dense flood of spells poured down like a torrential rain, pressing those pseudo Sky Rank beasts.
Within seconds, some pseudo Sky Rank beasts were injured, including one Ironclad Dire Tiger whose eye burst open from corrosion…
But that brief advantage was instantly overturned as six Sky Rank Level 1 beasts charged out from the rear of the horde.
Two Blazewolves, each nearly a hundred meters long, bared their fangs and rushed forward. Their massive jaws gaped wide, spewing liquid fire in torrents that crashed thunderously into the human mages’ spell barrage.
The air warped from the heat, and where the forces collided, space vibrated violently. It felt as if a little more force would shatter the very fabric of space.
Behind the two Blazewolves, a towering Ice Ape over a hundred meters high charged out, roaring. Along the way, several pseudo Sky Rank beasts were sent flying by its rampage. Its frost-covered fists smashed into the Burning Tower’s fire spells, forcibly detonating clusters of magic.
There was also a Moonlight Deer, an Earth Demon Rhinoceros, and a Thunder Fang Tiger.
As soon as the six Sky Rank Level 1 beasts appeared, the Human Alliance’s offensive was suppressed.
The Moonlight Deer cast a barrier of moonlight for defense, while the Earth Demon Rhinoceros surged forward, its body covered in earth runes.
Lightning flickered from the Thunder Fang Tiger’s single horn, spraying arcs of electricity across the sky.
In an instant, the human offensive was completely blocked, and there was even a sign of the beasts counterattacking.
At the front, Dida La’s face darkened. The pressure from these six Sky Rank Level 1 beasts was far greater than facing dozens of pseudo Sky Rank beasts.
"We have to take down these Sky Rank beasts first, or we won’t be able to go any further."
Dida La roared, charging straight at the Ice Ape that barreled forward like a mountain.
Fire and frost collided instantly. The three flaming orbs swirling around Dida La’s body released three types of fire, encircling the Ice Ape.
Nearby, Rafael faced a Blazewolf, Heron took on another Blazewolf, Joey squared off against the Earth Demon Rhinoceros, Morgan challenged the Moonlight Deer, and Leon confronted the Thunder Fang Tiger.
This was a true Sky Rank battle—six Sky Rank Level 1 beasts against six human powerhouses. Their battlefield spanned several kilometers.
The pseudo Sky Rank beasts were left to the underlings of each faction.
