Chapter 1165: Crossing the Sea (2)
Reacting to Nerssia's cue, the other airships began charging their weapons—ready to fire.
A peculiar blue glow could be seen forming on the tip of their barrels.
Similar to the shells from the turrets—the energy coming from these airships' weaponry was equal if not deadlier. Even some of the more robust airships, let out drones, blocking the sky with their sheer numbers.
If the legion of Angels was bombarded by them, it would be quite catastrophic.
However, the leading Angel smiled from underneath his hood.
"Arrogant still as the first time we met, Admiral," He mused—raising his gaze to stare directly at Nerissa. His yellowish ash-colored eyes were glowing with a hint of excitement. "But don't think that nothing could stop you because this time, it's my turn to let you taste defeat!"
Upon hearing this, Nerissa squinted, realizing who the leading Angel was.
He was Calignar, an Angel she fought against recently.
Realizing who it was, she scoffed and signaled the airships to ready their weapons.
In a union, the pilots poised their thumbs on the fire button.
"So it's you," Nerissa muttered—smiling mockingly. "We know that you Angels are attempting an expansion for your makeshift Heaven. But, with me here, that is not going to happen. Also, this time I'll make sure you can't escape"
Not wasting more words, she signaled to fire ruthlessly.
Just before any of the airships could begin their bombardment, something happened.
Splash!
Suddenly, the water surface beneath them exploded, creating a towering water column.
Nerissa frowned, and she realized a figure that caused all of this.
Catching the figure cutting through the air like a glimpse of light, Nerissa'ss eyes widened.
But in reflex, she maneuvered to the side, dodging the figure barely.
Swish...!
After narrowly dodging the figure, the wind generated by its high-speed passage grazed her entire body like a tempest—deepening the frown on her face as the figure was as fast as her if not faster.
KABOOM!!
Following that, the deafening roar of rapid explosions echoed from above.
She could feel the concussive blasts reverberating through the air.
Upon looking over her shoulder, Nerissa found that the airships above her were obliterated in the blink of an eye—and not one of them remained. It happened in a fraction of a second and she couldn't react properly.
"All of them are reinforced heavily..." Nerissa muttered in shock.
Bound in a state of disbelief, knowing full well how strong the airships were, she continued in a hushed tone, "Even ninth-rank realm attacks wouldn't be able to destroy them that easily— whoever flew past me should be very strong"
Not stopping at that, the figure soared higher—aiming at the massive mothership above.
A devastating amount of energy coalesces around its body.
Like a meteor of dark holy energy, spiraling viciously—the figure collided with the protective barrier of the mothership. A deafening explosion ensued, and the resulting shockwave went rampant, blasting everything in the surroundings.
Even Nerissa herself needs to protect herself from the shockwave.
A kaleidoscope of colors struck her vision—as the figure's dark hole energy, clashed against the massive mothership's protective barrier. Despite the barrier's resistance—the figure was not backing down, continuing to press on relentlessly.
Garnering even more power with a cold look, it propelled itself forward like an arrow.
Such a display was shocking for even the legion of Angels itself.
As the situation receded, and Nerissa, glanced back at the mothership—she gritted her teeth in fury when she found that the protective barrier—cracked from one attack. Equipped with a very strong barrier, as strong as a tenth-rank realm, the fact that it cracked was surprising.
It spoke significance that was impossible to ignore.
Recognizing the Angel that caused this, Nerissa's eyes bulged and her aura turned intense.
Compared to Calignar, this Angel was more monstrous in appearance and aura.
"Sapphire water awakens once more..." Nerissa mused—her voice filled with an unbelievable amount of power. "you will experience this—true horror. Annihilation—and humiliation by the maritime plague, I shall bestow on you. I am Nerissa, the Fleet Admiral of Humanity!"
"Even the sky would bow collapse before me!" She roared, dashing straight at Noctariel.
...
Meanwhile, back to Ratmawati City.
President Sebrof accepted the call, he put on an earpiece before connecting the call to it.
However—as soon as he did that, he was greeted by Gilbert's wavering voice.
A tint of worry could be heard clearly in his tone.
"Sebrof, can you hear me?"
"Yes, is there something wrong, Gilbert? Your voice..."
"I'm sorry for calling out of the blue—but I received important news, that you most certainly must know. Minutes ago, I was called by the Supreme Court. Before I tell you—don't put me speaker"
"No, you're not on speaker. But the Supreme Court? What does it have to do with me?"
"I know they rarely say anything—but the Supreme High Duke notified me that the military of Khupia City detected a transonic breach in their radar coverage—from the west coast. Since your station is still offline, he couldn't reach you, so he reached out to me"
"Khupia City? Isn't that tens of thousands of miles east of my city?"
"Yes, the breach was done by a legion of Angels—they are heading in your direction!"
"What?! How did that happen?!"
"I told you before—the Angels were aiming, to expand their forces—aggressively. Just when their presence was noted, the Elpida Alliance sent the Supreme Marquess, the Fleet Admiral—Nerissa to intercept them. But she was defeated and one Elipda Alliance's mothership was destroyed as a result"
"Did- Did she survive...?"
President Sebrof was burdened by the sudden grave news.
He knew Nerissa, he knew of her achievements, so he knew the gravity of this situation.
"Fortunately—she managed to escape, and was brought back to be healed. She stated that she tried to kill as many Angels as she could to help you. Calignar is the leader of the legion going to your place, and with the help of the Siren, the Blind Fallen Angel managed to made a successful ambush that caught Nerissa by surprise"
Upon hearing this, President Sebrof could only rub his throbbing forehead.
Considering the city's situation, they couldn't take on Noctariel.
'Before was Fifthborn, and now the Sirens and the Angels...'
If Noctariel and Calignar came here then there's nothing to stop them.
"Don't worry, the report said that Noctariel turned around after taking out Nerissa. It seemed he was there to make sure the legion of Angels, reached your continent. Be prepared—I'll try to talk with Sebas to send reinforcements for you"
"Why are they coming here anyway? Aren't they busy fighting two major cities at once?"
"We don't know. Nevertheless, I will send Calignar's profile to you after this call. He is in the peak of the ninth-rank realm, with the heavenly order of Duty—capable of going toe-to-toe with three peak ninth-rank realm Dark Elementalists"
"I appreciate the notice, Gilbert. I'll be going now, I need to prepare"
Just like that, the call was disconnected with President Sebrof frozen in his seat.
Sarah and the man looked at him questioningly.
Both of them couldn't hear what Gilbert was talking about, but they could tell that it was not good news judging from the grim expression President Sebrof was wearing right now. It was an expression that made them both nervous to even ask about the matter.
In the next second, President Sebrof abruptly stood up.
He grabbed his jacket and headed to the door without saying anything.
"President, where are you going?" Sarah eventually found the courage to ask.
Only on m v|le|mp|yr
Not even stopping, President Sebrof replied, "Save the higher level cities first then begin to go down—assign reinforcements for them in order. I will go meet with Brigitta and deal with the other 21 cities. Also, prepare a ride for me due to leaving at any moment"
"Yes, president!" Sarah replied, bowing deeply as President Sebrof left the room.
