Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 196 - 166: Battle of Saint Tiers, Human Race and Giant Demons (2)
"If you want something, you go and fight for it. Isn’t that just the way of the world?"
"Without the Deities, there would be no Professionals. If that were the case, faced with this Giant Demon invasion, we humans would have been utterly powerless to resist."
"Take now, for example. Isn’t this abandoned Underground City a gift from the Deities?"
"Besides, back in the day, the Deities never demanded that Professionals worship any specific god. You have no faith—you even blaspheme them. Aren’t you the best proof of that?"
"Of course, I know you lost your wife in the Underground City, and even lost your only child while fighting the Giant Demons."
"But you’re not going to like hearing this—wasn’t it all a choice they made for themselves? In fact, it was your choice, too."
"If you hadn’t let..."
"Enough!!!"
The words struck a nerve, and City Lord Yide immediately cut the old man off.
"Enough... Priest Kaven, I don’t want to discuss this topic with you."
"I know where I went wrong, but in my eyes, all the tragedies that befell me happened for one reason: I wasn’t strong enough!"
"If I possessed the Power of the Deities, none of this would have happened!"
"My wife and my child died because of the Deities! Of that, there is no doubt."
"The Underground City was a Creation of the Deities, so wasn’t the Alien Race invasion their doing as well?"
"In short, Priest Kaven, you can’t convince me, and I can’t convince you!"
"Let’s leave it at that!"
With that brusque statement, City Lord Yide put an end to any further discussion about the Deities.
"The Giant Demon Fleet is drawing ever closer."
"Those Elemental Spirits of the Sea Goddess can’t stop them."
"So, in the end, it’s up to us."
"Fortunately, we’ve just finished gathering all the materials for the Teleportation Array. The evacuation of the stronghold’s residents can begin immediately."
"But before we leave, I’m going to have a nice little chat with these Giant Demons."
"It’s been a hundred years. I wonder if those bastards have grown soft from the peacetime luxuries. This will be a good chance to test my skills."
"Consider this me seeing you off on your final journey, old man!"
Yide calmly finished speaking to the old man.
The old man looked at City Lord Yide and, in the end, could only sigh and nod.
"Very well."
——————.
The air trembled, and the waves roared.
Across the horizon, the wind tore through the clouds. Beneath an oppressive, dark canopy, countless Tornados, like dragons drinking from the sea, swept across the entire ocean.
War had broken out between the Giant Demon expeditionary force and the survivor outpost on Coral Island.
And the confrontation was fierce from the very start!
Yide, the Saint Tier Human Professional, transformed into a Flame Giant.
He strode across the waves. With a clench of his fists, a colossal hand of fire appeared in the sky, reaching for the ships of the Giant Demon Fleet.
However, as the Flame Giant advanced on the Giant Demon Fleet, wading through clouds of billowing steam, the Giant Governor among the demons raised a Black Scripture that shone with a brilliant light.
The Black Scripture erupted with a dense, inky light. Nine terrifying, colossal snakes burst forth from it, instantly colliding with the hand of fire.
Meanwhile, three of the nine black snakes had already coiled themselves around the Flame Giant.
The colossal snakes constricted the Flame Giant’s body with all their might.
At the same time, their massive jaws tore relentlessly at the Flame Giant’s body.
On the other side, Priest Kaven was loudly chanting weather-altering Magic.
In an instant, the entire ocean began to boil.
High in the sky, dark clouds swirled menacingly, sucking up vast amounts of seawater to form dozens of terrifying Tornados.
The terrifying Tornados assaulted the Giant Demon Fleet.
At the same time, the ocean itself seemed to come alive, and countless tentacles lashed out at the Giant Governor and the black snakes he controlled.
Meanwhile, on the Giant Demon Fleet’s side, numerous High Tier Giant Demons at the fleet’s vanguard formed a Barrier that stretched from sea to sky.
At the same time, a terrifying roar erupted from the Giant Demon Fleet.
The Magic Crystal Cannons on the ships and Airships unleashed a continuous barrage, firing beams like oversized Laser Cannons at the two Human Saint Tier Professionals.
’Weren’t there supposed to be only one Saint Tier Professional among the human survivors?’
’Where did two of them come from? This battle just got a lot harder!’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
’Surprises, one after another. It’s as if the world is playing a joke on us.’
’Speaking of which, can the Lord Governor really take down these two Saint Tier Professionals?’
The High Tier Professionals looked grim.
Moreover, as the battle between the three Saint Tier combatants reached a fever pitch, ships from the Giant Demon Fleet were periodically swallowed by the ocean and the storm.
The death toll among the Giant Demons was steadily rising.
On the human side, however, besides the two Saint Tiers, more than twenty High Tier Professionals had come out to fight.
On nearby Coral Island, one could even see many Middle Tier Human Professionals gathered together, casting spells to continuously channel vast amounts of Magic Power toward the two Saint Tiers to sustain them in the fight.
’As expected of the largest human survivor stronghold overseas.’
’Quite a few who slipped through the net during the World War!’
’But that just means the glory will be all the greater when we win!’
"Everyone, stop holding back."
"Abandon the fleet’s defenses! Order the ships to withdraw from the battlefield as best they can. We’ll go together and wipe out those human High Tier Professionals first."
"...."
The moment one of the Giant Demons said this, more than sixty of the hundred-plus High Tier Giant Demons broke away from the Saint Tier battlefield and charged toward Coral Island.
