However, Menia happened to cut between Rein and Hela, spewing flames that immediately blocked quite a bit of the black water vortex.
"Mortal, I admit I underestimated you. But this time, you stand no chance." Helaâs pretty face became much more solemn.
Clearly, Reinâs sudden burst had startled her.
"No chance? It wasnât me who got blasted just now." Rein, though shocked in his heart, maintained a calm expression and mocked.
Judging from the aura Hela emitted at the moment, it seemed not much different, if anything, just slightly weaker than before.
In other words, although his entire set of combo attacks had blasted the opponent just now, it hardly had any effect over the sea.
Thankfully, Red Queen Menia seemed to have recovered from her earlier grief.
Rein added a bit of attribute points without showing a hint of movement, and with a stream of warmth pumping out from his heart, his physical strength instantly recovered to its peak.
....
In another part of the battlefield nearby.
Sea God Sect Pope Egil laughed upon seeing this, and said to Reginald with a shocked expression:
"How can the divine power be estimated by mortals? Even though we are Dawn Wizards, in front of the divine, we are merely bigger ants. Reginald, embrace my lord! Otherwise, you and your Giant Dragon partner will surely perish here."
"What about gods? In ancient times, top wizards also had the power to kill Evil Gods, and it is people like you who self-degrade that bring shame to humanity."
"You believe your Goddess will win, then letâs wait and see." Reginald said in a deep voice.
Although he was extremely worried about Menia and Rein, outwardly he remained impassive.
"You!! Stubborn!" Sea God Sect Pope Egil was instantly angered upon hearing this, and immediately waved, leading the High Rank Evil Sorcerers behind him to attack again.
....
Meanwhile, in the distant sky.
The Imperial Airship fleet, which had just escaped the core battlefield, reduced from over ten airships when departing Zetaya, to now merely seven. Nearly half the airships were destroyed by Jorgandmanâs Leviathan Giant Whaleâs Whale Spring Spurt.
Inside the command room of the flagship Queen.
"Messenger, send out the notice that, apart from the Storm, all airships including the Queen are to turn immediately and join the battle!" An old man in Imperial Vice Admiral uniform, standing straight, said in a deep voice.
"General!" The Messenger seemed incredulous, staring in shock at his commander.
Having just escaped the encirclement of the Giant Beast and Sea God Sect, they were now to rush back into the circle?
This....
Additionally, itâs not a question of whether they fear death or not, but in front of such Giant Beast, their attacks seem to be but a joke.
However, the Messenger knew well that, in the absence of Prince Menia and Reginald, the old man before him was the highest commander of the Imperial Airship fleet.
"As Imperial soldiers, we do not have the tradition of leaving a member of the Imperial Royal Family behind to cover our retreat, execute the order!" The old man said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The Messenger, as if awakened, saluted and responded loudly.
After the Messenger ran out of the command room, the officer beside the old man suggested softly: "General, if we are to send a message, it would be more fitting for the Queen to continue towards the Empire, wouldnât it?"
The Vice Admiral obviously caught the implication of the officer, the other party was attempting to persuade him to retreat.
"No, since I made this decision, the upcoming actions must involve my participation, otherwise, how would the Empireâs soldiers view us commanders?" The old man shook his head resolutely, saying.
....
At the same time.
The battle between Rein, Menia and the Nether Sea Goddess Hela continued.
Although Rein and Menia attacked with nearly all their might, it seemed insignificant against the Nether Sea Goddess Hela, whose body nearly spanned endlessly, relying on the seaâonly slightly weakening and disrupting Helaâs aura.
Moreover, Red Queen Menia couldnât recover merely by adding points like Rein, so at this moment, both her spiritual power and physical strength were nearing their limits.
Rein, though showing no sign of fatigue, was already adding points for the third time, with only three attribute points left.
The more troublesome aspect was that their current position was already surrounded by countless Flying Fish Knights and Manta Knights, and under the pressure of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela, these Flying Knights seemed fearless, surrounding them when Rein attempted to retreat towards the island.
Though they could only block momentarily, it provided Hela the opportunity to attack and hinder Rein and Meniaâs actions.
Thus, Rein was still approximately five kilometers away from the island.
In other words, without changing the situation, even if Rein managed to reach the island, the remaining attribute points would inevitably be exhausted, leaving no strength for counterattack.
"Rein, in a moment, Iâll unleash my final strikeâseize the opportunity to break through!" Menia communicated through spiritual power.
Though the tone was calm, Rein could sense the resolution contained within.
"Prince Menia..." Reinâs heart couldnât help but tighten upon hearing this.
"The Nether Sea Goddessâ descent this time is not ordinary; it seems the body she inhabits is that of a strong mermaid from Ancient Times, allowing her to fully exert her powerâpresently possessing near Epic Peak strength, we have no chance."
