A group of deep blue fifth-tier giant jellyfish charged towards the defensive line, their tentacles poised to strike with deadly venom.
Before they could make their deadly move, a towering figure appeared before them, sporting broad wings and a serpentine lower body covered in blue scales.
In an instant, a silver streak slashed through the air, cutting apart over a dozen of the giant jellyfish like sheets of paper. The shattered tentacles and bodies were flung high into the air.
Herald, with cold determination in his eyes, watched the foolish creatures before him. A cruel smile curved on his long, slender mouth.
The remnants of blood on his claws fueled his boiling blood, and the unmistakable scent of blood hung in the air, further exciting him. His body trembled uncontrollably.
The slaughter… had begun.
Herald’s massive serpentine tail suddenly swung, and his formidable body shot forward like a cannonball. He left a trail of afterimages in the air and crashed into the enemy ranks within the blink of an eye.
His clawed hands were like the sharpest forged weapons of the dwarves, gleaming with silver light. Wherever he struck, it resulted in dismembered limbs, flying gore, and a rain of blood. Not a single sea beast could withstand the sharpness of his claws, not even the fifth-tier sea beasts!
A gigantic whale-like sea beast, its maw wide open like a devouring abyss, charged in, attempting to swallow him whole and crush him to pieces.
Herald’s claws clasped together, energy surged, and in an instant, he conjured a blue lightning sphere, which he casually threw into the beast’s gaping mouth.
Sensing an unexpected intruder in its mouth, the whale-like sea beast tried to spit it out, but the next moment, it felt an intense and scorching heat engulfing its entire body.
Boom!
Its massive body exploded violently, turning into a rain of scattered flesh and gore.
This was a one-sided massacre!
In other parts of the battlefield, similar scenes were unfolding.
What’s more, with the participation of hero units, the main army units, benefiting from their formidable racial characteristics, experienced a tremendous boost in their attributes. The Naga Legion and Dragonblood Legion’s combat prowess surged several times over.
The Ocean Crown forces, which were already holding their ground effectively, now became even more formidable with the hero units’ leadership, cutting through their enemies with ease.
If they hadn’t been ordered to construct defensive lines here, they might have burst out to engage the enemy directly.
Soldiers from the Starshine Islands, who had witnessed countless incredible things throughout the day, couldn’t help but be astonished once more.
Were they for real?
After a whole day of fighting, they were still so full of vitality, and they seemed even more powerful now.
Just as they were becoming somewhat numb and their bodies were gradually tiring out, a hauntingly beautiful song suddenly echoed in their ears. Strangely, this song instantly washed away their physical and mental fatigue, igniting their blood, and filling their bodies with newfound strength.
The momentum of the Crown of the Ocean’s army soared once more, and their combat strength increased once again.
Meanwhile, a change occurred among the sea beasts. Unbeknownst to them, many of their kind had experienced a peculiar transformation under the influence of this song.
Their gazes grew vacant, and without hesitation, they turned their claws and fangs on their own kind.
Alice, compared to when she first gained control over mind manipulation skills, had come a long way. At level forty, she was now several times more powerful. In just a matter of seconds, she seized control of thousands of sea beasts, catching them completely off guard and causing them to turn on their own kind.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers from the Starshine Islands were once again bewildered.
What’s happening?
Why are the sea beasts turning on each other?
They followed the source of the song, and their eyes fell on a slender figure standing on a high cliff, a beam of moonlight piercing through the clouds and casting a delicate veil-like glow upon her.
This was… the masked woman!?
The soldiers were astonished once again, exchanging bewildered glances.
Suddenly, someone seemed to recall something and spoke with trembling words.
“It’s a Siren! Only Sirens possess the ability to enchant sea beasts with their songs!”
As these words were uttered, the other soldiers also began to react, their faces filled with shock.
Clearly, having grown up on these islands, they had heard rumors about Sirens.
According to the sea legends, Sirens were often associated with malevolence, as their ability to control minds made them seem inclined to commit evil acts. No one wanted to be controlled and turned against their comrades.
Stories and tales abounded of Sirens luring kings to their doom, seducing sailors with their songs to steer ships into treacherous rocks, and other enduring legends and tales from the world’s seas.
Initially, they assumed that the masked woman was perhaps a servant or attendant of this so-called “Master,” similar to a messenger or a vase.
But they never imagined that her true identity would be that of a legendary Siren. No wonder she was so calm and fearless when facing the council members.
For a moment, these soldiers felt somewhat lost and unsure of how to react.
However, someone quickly realized, “What’s there to fear? Even if she’s a Siren, she’s still fighting alongside us against the sea beasts!”
Hearing this, the other soldiers soon came to the same realization. Though it sounded frightening, this Siren lady had not done anything to harm them. Instead, she came to aid the Starshine Islands in resisting the sea beast tide. In reality, she seemed quite different from the ominous tales, and there didn’t appear to be anything to fear.
In fact, Sirens mostly reside and thrive in the deep sea, rarely venturing to the surface.
So, a lot of the stories about their wickedness were mostly made up by sailors or adventurers. They did this to make their journeys seem more thrilling and challenging. They took existing rumors and exaggerated them to convince others that they had gone through a dangerous and extraordinary adventure..
