Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1118: Rise of a New Era X

The Goblin Shamans released a series of lightning bolts into the masses of enemies. They didn’t even have to aim well to hit an enemy. Unfortunately, the lightning bolts weren’t lethal enough to kill the enemies immediately. Still, the damage was considerable, and the paralysis properties of the Goblin Shaman’s lightning couldn’t be underestimated.

The hit targets were stunned for a second, which granted the Silverfang Archers enough time to aim and strike. The arrows hit the unmoving targets, killing them on the spot.

The Shadowbane Spiders were also nearly struck by a bunch of lightning bolts, but they merged with the shadows around them and changed their targets to fight closer to the ocean. The area was also more dangerous, but the shadows of the creatures emerging from the ocean helped them move around as they pleased.

The Shadowbane Spiders had pointy and highly durable legs with which they punctured the vital spots of maritime creatures fleeing from the ocean. They might be Lesser Lifeforms and of the smaller kind, but they had poison sacs that created numbing poison that could be secreted through their legs. That being said, every wound inflicted by the Shadowbane Spiders would numb the maritime creatures.

One hit was not enough to slow the monsters, but with tens of thousands of Shadowbane Spiders spread across the beach of the ocean gulf, it wasn’t more difficult to hit the larger creature tens of times. They quickly collapsed to the ground, where a Frostglider Eagle tore them apart or froze them on the spot.

Their freezing breath was a true menace. It inflicted considerable damage and would kill any creature that was either too physically weak to break through the layers of ice forming on their skin or didn’t use enough energy to protect their bodies. Many maritime creatures were huge and physically strong, but they didn’t have a high proficiency at controlling energy. They were less intelligent land-based monsters. At least, that was what it looked like to the Silverfang Summons.

A Goblin Emperor, a mutant with four arms, wielded two war axes and two thin longswords. The longswords whirled through the air in beautiful arcs, mana coursing through them, while the war axes smashed upon the massive creatures, tearing them apart without any resistance.

Dozens of venomous serpents tried injuring the Goblin Emperor, but his hide was too tough to be penetrated easily. He crushed the horde before him and created a large opening for his children to charge through. A Goblin Prince, hundreds of Hobgoblin Champions, Hobgoblin Berserkers, and tens of thousands of Goblins pushed through the gap and widened it, creating even more space for the Goblin Shamans, Archers, and Goblin Elementalists to wreak havoc.

It didn’t take long before the only remnants of enemies before the Silverfang settlement were their corpses. The strongest maritime creatures attacked the Frostglider Eagles, The Shadowbane Queen Spider, and the Goblin Emperor, but it was to no avail.

Dozens of Frostglider Eagles descended from the sky, releasing their fury upon the Lesser Lifeforms fighting underneath them. Their freezing breath was like the Arctic Breath of a Glacier Dragon. It might not be as powerful and massive in comparison, but it was certainly the lesser version. Still, it was powerful enough to damage the Lesser Lifeforms and freeze them alive.

The Frostglider Eagles may not be strong enough to kill the strongest High Beasts of the ocean, but they were fast enough to evade their attacks. Two Frostglider Eagles were hit by rocks mid-air, but the Silvarean Tigers were ready to catch them before the crabs could cut them into pieces. The tigers pounced through the air, caught the Eagles in their mouths, and charged back to the settlement. They jumped on top of the settlement walls, put down the injured Eagles, and had the Healers tend to their wounds.

The Silvarean Tigers returned to the battlefield and attacked the stronger High Beasts of the ocean. They inflicted smaller injuries at first, analyzing the ocean beast’s regeneration and other characteristics with claw strikes and bone-crunching bites before they geared up by a notch or two by applying energy onto their fangs and claws.

They ripped through the beasts and killed the first High Beast even before the Goblin Emperor and Queen Spider finished their masterpiece. Still, the Silvarean Tigers weren’t unscathed. Some had been injured, and one Silvarean Tiger had been killed. Hundreds of Goblins were dying, and the Shadowbane Spiders weren’t impossible to defeat either. Every jump through the shadows consumed a considerable portion of their power. It drained them to step through the shadows more than four times. The maritime beasts didn’t pay much attention to that, but they sensed the exhaustion level of their enemies.

Their perception was great enough to pick on the exhausted enemies and kill them.

However, something interesting happened once more. High Beasts of the ocean had been defeated. First, the formation of maritime monsters – if one could call it that in the first place – tore apart. The High Beasts of the ocean had been controlling the Lesser Lifeforms, luring them to the Silverfang settlement as the Ocean Dragon had ordered them.

With the High Beasts’ death, the command disappeared, and the maritime creatures retrieved control of their own fate. They charged past the Silverfangs in the desperate hope of escaping the Ocean Dragon’s wrath.

But, at the same time, something happened within the Silverfang territory. Newcomers had arrived.

The Queen and her escort came to the rescue.

It was just that they were a little late.

Tiara and her people killed the remaining maritime beasts emerging from the ocean. They spent a few minutes annihilating more than a quarter of a million maritime creatures, including some High Beasts, before splitting up to check on the Silverfang territory, the injured, and…Caesus.

Nobody could sense Caesus, but the pained roars of the Ocean Dragon reverberated throughout the outskirts of the Azure Ocean.

Tiara was just about to move out when Caesus’ children raised their hands to stop her. She glared at them, but the Goblins pointed at something in the sky. It was a falling star.

No, it was Caesus!

Caeuss crashed heavily into the sand before Tiara, splattering warm blood everywhere.

"Brother, are you fine?" Tiara asked upon sensing the weak fluctuations from Caesus.

He tried to say something and get up, but the strength left his body. Thus, he grinned like a fool, wincing a few times in pain, and remained on the ground.

"I did it," Caesus mumbled, his body covered in blood.

One of his arms was missing, while the rest of his body was mangled. His hair, clothes, and skin was burned until nothing was left. It was only because of his connection to his children and their bestial regeneration transferring to him that he was still alive.

"I protected our people," Caesus issued between two heavy breaths.

Tiara bent down and smiled proudly at her brother.

"You did great. I’m proud of you," Tears welled in her eyes, "We will fix you. Don’t worry about anything, okay?"

Caesus just smiled, but thinking about his fight with the Ocean Dragon made him shudder.

He forced the Ocean Dragon to leave, but it was dead.

Still, Caesus was proud of himself. The Ocean Dragon had been stronger than him. Or it should have been stronger as a creature on the verge of attaining godhood.

Yet, he prevailed. He survived. He did it.

Caesus protected the Silverfangs.

He protected the New Era!
