Tina shouted, and together with the Sea God priests, formed imprints in front of them.
The divine statue bloomed once more with a pale blue light.
In an instant, violent vortices formed across the sea in front of the ships!
The giant vortices spun wildly, releasing terrifying pulling force and tearing in all the Lickers that had fallen into the sea!
In the blink of an eye, large swathes of Lickers that had fallen into the sea were completely swallowed by the seawater.
It worked!
The crew finally let out a breath of relief at the sight.
Those bizarre monsters had put far too much pressure on them.
As expected, it was different when a Lord Oracle made a move.
Everyone looked up again, only to see that the Oz Empire warships had already taken advantage of the chaos to retreat and had completely left their attack range.
"Tch... they got away..."
Tina felt displeased.
Eh?
Suddenly, everyone heard a series of cracking sounds.
"Look! Down there!"
Everyone immediately looked toward the sea.
High-tier ships were protected by the power of the divine statue. The seawater around the ships flowed with abnormal activity and could protect the vessels, preventing sea monsters from attacking.
However, as the duration of Tide of the Sea God ended, the Lickers beneath the surface had not died. Instead, they floundered in the violent current, broke free of the red spell nets, then beat their wings again, rose from the sea, and flew back toward the ships.
"Not good! Those monsters aren’t dead! They’re coming back!"
Cold sweat covered the priests’ foreheads.
The binding nets had originally been used to capture large sea monsters and drag them onto the deck for execution. But with the situation so urgent, they could only use them against the flying Lickers.
They just did not want to drag the Lickers onto the deck.
What were they supposed to do?
Everyone looked toward god servant Tina.
Do it again?
The binding nets were useful, but they consumed mental strength.
If they used that move several more times, they would be exhausted.
Tina’s expression turned grave. She raised the scepter in her hand and silently chanted an incantation.
"Lightning Storm!"
Without anyone noticing, a thick layer of dark clouds had already gathered above the ships.
Boom!!
Lightning struck from the sky.
Chain lightning!
As the scepter came down, dense arcs of lightning covered the Licker swarm.
Large numbers of Lickers were struck by lightning-attribute attacks. Their bodies were instantly covered in flickering electricity and entered a brief state of paralysis.
"Plop, plop..."
With that one move, many Lickers fell into the sea after losing the ability to flap their wings.
Tina frowned tightly as she stared at the Licker swarm ahead, astonishment appearing in her eyes.
Still ineffective?
It looked as if the move had worked, and many Lickers had fallen into the sea, but this was supposed to be a killing move that dealt massive damage!
In her expectations, that move had been meant to kill the monsters!
And yet now, only the paralysis effect of Lightning Storm had taken effect.
These monsters had such high resistance to spell effects too?
Why?
She had already tried both beam-based physical attacks and spell attacks, and none of them could do anything to these monsters.
"Bang!!"
In the blink of an eye, the first Licker slammed heavily into the outer defensive barrier of the warship. Its claws raked hard across the barrier, sending sparks flying.
Then came the second and third Lickers right after it.
In an instant, countless Lickers swarmed over and surrounded the ship, attacking madly.
The ship’s energy points rapidly dropped!
It held for only a few seconds before the ship’s outer defensive barrier exploded apart!
The Licker swarm immediately rushed into the crowd aboard the ship and began slaughtering them!
"Monster invasion! Stop them!"
Two Sea God Island guards holding heavy shields stepped forward to block them, but when they met the diving Lickers, they only felt a terrifying force slam into the shields in front of them!
The two were smashed backward and sent flying by the impact of the Lickers!
What kind of terrifying strength was that?
The two guards saw the world spin before their eyes and were utterly shocked.
The priests cast the hunting nets again, continuously capturing the Lickers that had invaded the deck and binding them in place so they could not move.
"Go! They’re trapped! Kill them!"
Soldiers immediately rushed forward, swinging chopping blades again and again at the Lickers.
"Clang! Clang clang!!"
A series of weapon impacts rang out.
Was it ineffective?
Several Sea God guards stared at the trapped Lickers in disbelief. There was not a single wound visible on the Lickers’ bodies?!
For the first time, a trace of panic flashed through Tina’s eyes. She turned toward Sawyer and Darcy and demanded, "What exactly are these monsters!?"
This was also the first time Sawyer and Darcy had seen monsters like the Lickers, and they were shaken.
They did not know either!
Sawyer hated it inwardly even more.
He had long realized Fang Heng was difficult to deal with, but he had still underestimated him. If he had known Fang Heng could control such monsters, he would never have left the main island of Sea God Island.
When Tina saw the two remain silent, her anger deepened.
These two were truly useless!
Ever since advancing to a god servant of Sea God Island, she had believed that with the divine spells she controlled, she could crush any expert from any nation in the world. She had never expected to encounter a crisis here today.
She had been suppressed from start to finish!
It was infuriating beyond measure!
Even now, she had not even seen her opponent’s face!
Oz Empire! I’ll remember this!
"Divine Gift!"
"Roar!!!"
Tina let out a furious roar and forcibly entered sea monster form. Her body underwent mutation in a short time, her form twisting and expanding into a large sea monster. The scepter in her hand split into two massive Sea God’s Tridents as she swam forward and charged at the Lickers invading the ship!
"Whoosh!!"
As the Sea God’s Trident swung, violent wind and lightning force churned through the air, sweeping away large numbers of Lickers and hurling them off the ship into the sea.
Tina, transformed into a sea monster, joining the battlefield was like injecting the crew with a stimulant.
It worked!
Just keep holding on!
Tina raised the Sea God’s Trident high, "Sea God! Hear my prayer! Grant us strength! Sacrifice!"
In an instant, dozens of priests gathered around the ritual magic array at the center of the ship raised their curved blades and stabbed them into their own chests, completing a self-sacrifice.
The blood flowing from the fallen priests rapidly poured into the magic array and was absorbed by it.
In response, the divine statue at the bow bloomed with terrifying light.
"Grant me the power of thunder! Roar, Divine Punishment of Ten Thousand Bolts! With blood as the guide and soul as the fuel, all who defile divine might shall forever fall into the abyss of storms and suffer the torment of soul-destroying thunder!"
"Boom!!!"
Several violent flashes of lightning erupted in succession, and the lightning rapidly spread from the deck across the entire ship!
Almost every Licker aboard the ship froze at once, as if struck by lightning. Their bodies were covered in constantly flickering arcs of electricity, their movements became extremely stiff, and the frequency of their claw attacks dropped drastically.
