Chapter 1699: Chapter 1516: Crisis



The monstrous roars had barely faded when the two colossal beings materialized from the swirling mist. One, a kraken of unimaginable size, its eight tentacles rivaled the island's mountains in breadth. They pulsed a sickly purple, casting long, distorted shadows across the tremor-wracked land. The other resembled a mythical Chinese dragon, its scales shimmering with an otherworldly luminescence. Unlike its folklore brethren, however, this leviathan crackled with raw electric energy, sparks flying from its serpentine form that stretched for a thousand meters across the sky.

As the two titans unleashed another bone-chilling roar, the very foundation of the island seemed to groan in protest. The earth buckled, sending tremors that rippled outwards like a pebble cast into a pond. It was a primal display of dominance, a challenge echoing across the vast expanse of the ocean.

And then, chaos erupted. From the depths, an answering symphony of roars and bellows ascended. Monstrous shapes, leviathans of the deep, surged from the churning water. Colossal squid, their eyes glowing with malevolent intelligence, thrashed their tentacles, churning the sea into a frenzy. Razor-toothed sharks, their forms monstrous parodies of their earthly counterparts, sliced through the water with terrifying speed. This wasn't a mere skirmish; it was a full-scale aquatic assault, an army of monstrous denizens of the deep rising under the command of the two colossal rulers. Their combined roar, a cacophony of rage and hunger, carried on the wind, a chilling harbinger of the terror they intended to unleash upon humanity's mainland.

On the distant shores, the tremors resonated through the bustling cities, sending shockwaves of fear through the hearts of their inhabitants. The once-peaceful sky had become an ominous canvas, painted with the silhouettes of monstrous invaders.

An air of frantic urgency crackled in the air of Drexia's grand conference room. One hour had passed since the earth-shattering roars shook the Isle of Whispers, and the weight of that tremor still pressed heavily on the assembled leaders. Emperor Julius, a man whose handsome face had become pale spoke of both burden and resolve, sat at the room's colossal head table. Its polished obsidian surface gleamed under the stark, futuristic lights illuminating the space.

Freya, the headmistress of Freya's academy and also Maria's master together with the strongest paladin, Luna's master sat near each other beside Julius.

Around the table, a carefully chosen group of ministers and dignitaries representing the Drexian Empire's most powerful factions held their breath, their faces etched with concern. But the room wasn't solely filled with physical bodies. Advanced holographic technology filled the empty chairs with shimmering projections, each one a representative of another nation. There was the Foxia Empress, her regal bearing evident even in her digital form, and the Lionheart's emperor, his sharp face betraying none of the turmoil within. Saeko's father was present as well. Even a flicker of Maria's image materialized, her expression unreadable despite the distance.

"An emperor level monster appearing in front of a strengthened military base, is it courting death? A magic laser cannon would kill it immediately." Speculation and strategies filled the air, as the presence of this colossal being presented a potential threat. The notion of using advanced weaponry to vanquish it was tossed around, showcasing the desperate measures contemplated in the face of the unknown.

As representatives and leaders engaged in hushed conversations, a palpable tension filled the room. All eyes remained fixated on the screen, awaiting the unfolding of events.

And yet, amidst the shared sense of fear that permeated the atmosphere, there existed a subtle distinction between the strong and the weak. Freya, Maria, and several other formidable individuals harbored a peculiar suspicion, their fear tempered by an unexplained familiarity with the extraordinary.

On the screen, three blinding laser beams pierced through the air, their intensity and precision aimed directly at the creature. A collective intake of breath filled the room as

everyone held their anticipation.

And then, the lights dispersed.

"What!" The exclamation reverberated through the stunned silence that followed. The scales of the creature remained unscathed, defying all expectations and defying the laws of nature

itself.

"That's impossible!" Voices filled with disbelief echoed throughout the room. The realization sank in that even a big Emperor monster, known for their formidable defenses, would not emerge unscathed from the onslaught of the strongest lasers. And yet, this enigmatic creature seemed impervious to their assault.
