Chapter 524: Elven Elites

“D*mn it! What kind of monsters are those sea creatures?”
“It’s fine if they don’t die, but they’re so powerful. How are we supposed to defeat them?”
It had been about ten minutes since Watson and the others had arrived at the fortress city through the magical water passage constructed via the Dragon Palace. During those ten minutes, the elven soldiers in the city had been defeated by the sea folks’ trident. Blood splattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with panic.
The sea folks’ soldiers had the strength of platinum-tier elites. Six pure white wings appeared on their backs and floated in the air at that moment. As the wings flapped, white feathers shot out like sharp arrows. They broke the arrows shot by the elves. With a wave of their hands, huge waves appeared under their feet. Thick, dark clouds floated over their heads, and thunder roared.
Under such a terrifying attack, the elves could not resist at all. They were constantly killed, resurrected, and then killed again. Despair gradually crept into the eyes of every elf.
They could not die, but that did not mean that they did not feel pain. The pain of experiencing death time and time again was not something that ordinary people could endure. Initially, they could hold on because they thought they could grind the sea folks to death with their undying ability. However, after knowing that the sea folks soldiers could not die, their desire to fight was significantly reduced.
They initially thought that the sea folks that had just resurrected were an illusion. However, after the elves worked together to kill another sea folk, they discovered that all the sea folks seemed to have the ability not to die. After being killed, they could resurrect within a few seconds. That was precisely the same as them who had consumed the Spring of Life water. No, they were even stronger than them. After all, they did not have the strength of a platinum-tier elite.
“The sea folks can deal with those elves. It seems like I don’t have to do anything.”
Watson stood on the submarine with his hands behind his back and spoke slowly. When the kingdom’s ministers and noblemen saw the scene in front of them, their expressions were somewhat complicated.
After they arrived at the southern fortress city, they were worried that there would be a fierce battle. They were also afraid that the tens of thousands of sea folks that Watson brought along and the hundreds of submarines were insufficient. It seemed like they had overestimated the elven army. The elven soldiers were already retreating without Watson using the submarines.
One person was able to resist the army of a kingdom. That was something that they had not dared to imagine before.
“That is the strongest genius in the kingdom, Watson. How terrifying,” a nobleman muttered to himself.
Not far from him, a white-bearded minister stroked his beard and nodded. “An elite standing at the peak can have a huge impact on a battle. In the past, the Holy Dragon Kingdom had never been invaded by the other four kingdoms. On the one hand, we were protected by the natural moat, and on the other hand, it was also because of Reid, who could fight against an army by himself. Such an existence should be illegal on the battlefield! As Reid’s disciple, his performance was even better than Reid’s. It seems like they might be able to quickly expel the Elven Kingdom’s army as Watson had expected.”
“It’s too early for a celebration. Watson’s strength is very strong, but the Elven Kingdom is not without elites.” Some people were not that optimistic. Instead, they shook their heads.
As if to verify what those people said, a shocking roar came from within the fortress city.
Roar!
Then, a huge magical beast half the size of the city ran out from the center. That magical beast had a snake-like body, but it had nine dragon heads. Each dragon head had a different color, and it had a single horn on its head; some of its mouths were spewing flames, some of its horns were wrapped with lightning, and some of its nostrils were emitting poisonous fog.
It was clear that each dragon head had a different ability. The magical beast’s body was over a hundred meters long and was not inferior to the average dragon. After it appeared, the nine-headed magical beast immediately opened its mouth and spewed lightning and flames from its dragon head. Lightning and flames interweaved and used the power of lightning to shatter the bodies of a few platinum-tier sea creatures. The remaining dragon heads also followed suit and attacked, biting the bodies of a few sea creatures into pieces and chewing them in mid-air.
The moment they appeared, dozens of sea folks had died in the mouths of the magical beasts. One had to know that those sea folks had platinum-tier strength; to kill dozens of platinum-tier experts in one strike, such strength was terrifying.
The moment that nine-headed serpent appeared, the entire battlefield suffocated. Even the powerful sea folk warriors stopped their attacks after sensing the diamond-tier aura emitted by that magical beast.
“The Nine-headed Heaven-devouring Python is a diamond-tier monster. It’s a secret druid technique mastered by the most powerful elder of the Elven race, Landon. It’s said that when he was young, Elder Landon once killed a peak platinum-tier heaven-devouring python. He used its blood to cast a secret druid technique to improve the strength of the python that he transformed into.”
“That python is just like the sky-devouring giant python when it reaches the diamond tier. It can only last for a short time, but it’s enough for Landon! With Elder Landon here, those sea folks are nothing.”
The elven warriors were all delighted when they saw the nine-headed giant python running out of the city. They were not a match for the sea folks because they were not as strong as them. Since their elder was there to help, they were stronger than the sea folks, and the battle situation would be reversed.
“Erland, His Majesty ordered you to pick up the captives and attack the other cities. Why are you standing in a daze? If His Majesty finds out about this, I’m afraid he won’t let you off. Forget it, you can leave. I’ll handle that here.”
The nine-headed snake was chewing on the bodies of the sea folks as it approached Erland. It spoke in a muffled voice.
“Wait a moment. Don’t make a move yet. Before you understand the situation, why don’t you negotiate with those people first—”
Erland looked anxious and wanted to say something in response to Landon’s words. He had been there all those while, so he saw it when the sea folks and the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s upper echelons had suddenly appeared. Then, the sea folks elites immediately suppressed the elven warriors. It was apparent that those people had come prepared. The strange black objects submerged under the water also gave him a feeling of oppression.
Before he could figure out why the sea folks had so many platinum-tier elites and what those black objects were, it would be very dangerous to act rashly.
Unfortunately, Landon did not listen to him. Instead, he revealed with a disdainful look. “Negotiate? Erland, you’re good at everything, but you’re too weak! We’ve consumed water from the Spring of Life and are now immortal. What’s there to worry about? Besides, the magical beast that I transformed into has diamond-tier abilities. Is there anyone here who can hurt me?”
As one of the strongest elites in the Elven Kingdom, Landon could obtain diamond-tier strength quickly. Even if he were no match for Sword Saint Reid, it would not be a problem for him to resist for a short while.
Distorted lines appeared around the Nine-headed Heaven-Devouring Python that Landon had transformed into as he spoke. “The symbol of a diamond-tier elite is to grasp the rules. The magical beast I’ve transformed into has a special constitution and grasps nine rules. If you’re sensible, you’d better surrender obediently. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude—”
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the surface of the water suddenly churned. A giant pitch-black cannonball flew from the water’s surface and hit the dragon’s head. The black cannonball exploded in mid-air and turned into a black hole. Outside the black hole, Landon’s dragon head became a bloody mess. Half of his head was missing.
“If you want to fight, then let’s fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Watson crossed his arms as he stood on the submarine.. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
