The High Tier Human Professionals on Coral Island watched the charging Giant Demons, who outnumbered them several times over, and a cryptic smile appeared on all their faces.
The next moment, just as the Giant Demons were about to set foot on Coral Island, thousands of colossal creatures suddenly burst from the ocean and lunged at them.
"Damn it! Itās these accursed Sea Elemental Spirits again!"
"Somethingās not right. Many of them are merged entities, and their power is nearing the High Tier."
"Itās a trap! The humans must have many Priests of the Ocean Deities on their side!"
"Quick! Charge! We have to kill those Priests immediately!"
"..."
The Giant Demons roared in fury, but the twenty-some High Tier Human Professionals had already charged to meet them!
At the same time, a large number of Sea Elemental Spirits launched a surprise attack on the Giant Demon Fleet.
In that instant, the battle erupted into a white-hot frenzy.
Every moment, countless Giant Demons and Elemental Spirits fell in battle, interspersed with the occasional death of a Human Professional.
From the moment the two sides clashed, they seemed locked in a struggle to the death.
Both sides were unleashing their full power.
The Giant Demons craved glory, while the Human Professionals fought to buy time for the residents of the Underground City to evacuate.
Both sides had a reason they could not back down.
This battle was therefore destined to be a bloody one.
Amidst this great war between Giant Demons and humans, a giant eagle was now approaching the battlefield, observing everything from a distance.
The giant eagleās presence had actually been noticed earlier.
However, because it maintained a great distance and was completely alone, the Giant Demons hadnāt bothered to chase it away, let alone hunt it down.
But now, with the battle raging, the giant eagle had drawn closer.
This couldnāt help but make some of the High Tier Giant Demons in the rear frown.
āIs there really something wrong with this Demon?ā
āItās been following us this whole time. Could it really be what the commander said it wasāa spy for the otherworldly civilization currently plaguing the continent?ā
āBut what use is just one of them following us? How could it possibly send a message back from this distance?ā
A High Tier Giant Demon stared intently at the giant eagleāa small black dot high in the distant sky. But when a Sea Elemental Spirit attacked him, he abandoned the thought and headed to the battlefield to pick off more Ocean Elves.
As for the giant eagle, no one was paying it any mind.
Through the eagleās eyes, Lince was carefully observing the entire battlefield from within a spiritual dimension.
āOne Saint Tier Giant Demon.ā
āHis Power is impressive. That Black Scripture artifact heās holding looks a little strange, too. It seems he isnāt using his full strength... Is he waiting for an opportunity to land a killing blow?ā
āAs for the Human Professionals, there are two Saint Tiers.ā
āThe old man seems to be the strongest, but it looks like heās burning through his life force. Heās at the end of his rope.ā
āThe burly one, on the other hand, seems to be handling things with ease. It looks like theyāre both holding back.ā
āSo, no oneās going all-out yet. Are they all wary of something?ā
Lince used his spiritual vision to observe the states of the three Saint Tiersā auras.
From the fluctuations in their Magic Power to the colors of their life auras, Lince could deduce a great deal.
āA Saint Tier Giant Demon, here in the overseas territories, and all alone.ā
āOpportunities like this are rare. If I can capture a Saint Tier without revealing myself, I can definitely torture some core information about the Giant Demon Empire out of him.ā
āHeh, oh well.ā
āAnd while Iām at it, I might as well recruit these two human Saint Tiers. Theyāll add a decent amount of Power to my ranks.ā
Having thought this, Lince immediately withdrew from his spiritual vision.
And so, 50,000 meters above Dawn City, the Giant Dragon resting high in the heavens slowly opened its eyes.
The moment its eyes opened, Linceās terrifying, colossal figure vanished.
All that remained was a patch of rippling Space, filled with propagating waves.
