Chapter 1033: Chapter 149: Water Curtain Showdown (Part 2)

The life energy of Baron Grant quickly dissipated with the loss of blood, leaving him too weak to stand. All this indicated that he was never qualified to drive such a large Heroic Spirit Cavalry. He had employed despicable means, paying a high price to have these cavalry fight for him just once.

With blood-stained lips, he twisted into a satisfied grin, hysterically shouting, "Go, slice everything and everyone into pieces! I want to throw their flesh and remains into the lake’s depths, a sacrifice for you!"

With his screams and roars—the endless heroic spirits forgotten under the dust of time and slumbering at the lake’s bottom were awakened! They tread on the waters of death, carrying an all-encompassing chill and desolation, charging soundlessly yet with a force that changed the colors of the heavens and earth toward the invaders!

As they formed into formation, the entire sky along their charging direction turned hazy, and a green eerie glow filled the space!

But it didn’t end there. To coordinate with the charge of these Green Knights, the Manann Church made a desperate gamble, sacrificing all the relics they found in the lake’s ruins to Manan, finally bringing forth Manan’s Divine Grace, raising monstrous waves!

The entire Blue Mirror Lake seemed to be gripped, kneaded, and then violently lifted by an invisible giant hand!

Rumble—!!!

A terrifying noise a hundred times louder than ever before erupted from the lake’s depths! The gigantic iron-gray whirlpool in the lake’s center suddenly plunged, as if opening the gates to the Abyss! Filled with the indescribable Water Element, forcibly extracted and compressed, then erupting with world-destroying force upward!

A water wall reaching the heavens emerged thunderously just behind the Ancient Heroic Spirit Knight Order’s formation!

This was no longer a "giant wave," but a true mountain range of water! Over a hundred meters high, it spanned many miles at the base, completely obscuring the sky behind! Murky lake water mixed with the silt churned up from the lake bottom, rotting aquatic plants, and even visible remains from the depths comprised this wall of destruction. The icy Aura of Death mingled with oppressive Divine Power, making the air on the battlefield thick and suffocating, even causing the icy charge of the Heroic Spirit Knight Order to falter momentarily.

This apocalyptic wave, with a mountain-crushing force, was set to engulf the Blue Mirror Lake’s northern plains, and all life battling there, dragging them into the lake’s Abyss! This was the Manann Church’s desperate strike, intending to thoroughly cleanse the battlefield!

The green Heroic Knights accelerated sharply under the shadow and push of the gigantic wave! They trod on solidified death waters, with eerie blue Soul Fire appearing more ghastly and terrifying against the apocalyptic water wall backdrop, resembling vanguards climbing from Hell Abyss, leading the tide of destruction.

And facing this ultimate Divine Punishment, enough to make mortals despair and gods look askance, Su Li’s gaze was sharp as a knife.

"Aeliria! Now, activate the Water-Repelling Pearl!" Su Li’s thought transmitted instantly through the dragon saddle. The Green Dragon in the sky let out a piercing, clear roar, and the "Water Repelling Pearl" (Eye of the Drowned) in its dragon claw erupted with unprecedented resplendent emerald light. That light was no longer gentle but carried vastness and majesty on par with the apocalyptic wave, stemming from the core of water itself.

Buzz—!!!

A hemispherical emerald green light screen expanded with unprecedented speed! The Water-Repelling Pearl’s protection spread rapidly, like a giant jade dome inverted over the earth, instantly enveloping the nearly seven thousand soldiers of the Hesse Legion—from the foremost Dwarf heavy shield formation to the central Knight cluster, to the rearguard’s remote positions and command center—all were under its cover.

The edge of the light screen nearly pressed against the hundred-meter-tall apocalyptic water wall approaching with thunderous force.

Boom—!!!!

The hundred-meter-tall apocalyptic wave crashed down with devastating force.

However, just as the wave was about to consume the entire army, a miracle occurred!

The surging, muddy wave with the force of ten thousand catties, upon reaching the edge of the Water Repelling Pearl’s invisible field, seemed to collide with an unseen, incredibly smooth, and immensely resilient arc wall.

"Whoa—!!!"

The deafening sound of water splitting echoed through the heavens and earth!

The terrifying water wall, which reached from sky to land, was forcibly split in two just tens of meters from the front line of the Hesse Legion. The fierce, murky lake water seemed pulled apart by an invisible giant hand in the middle, forming two towering water curtains, over several tens of meters high, roaring and rolling, made up of murky lake water!

These two "water curtains" clung to the military wing’s flanks, rushing forward and backward at alarming speeds, the flow surging with silt, debris, and countless anguished water-shaped faces, emitting an ice-cold Aura of Death. Nearly enclosing the Hesse Legion, they surged toward further away from the army’s side and rear.

Amid the two "water curtains," the Water Repelling Pearl’s power opened a relatively smooth pathway. The turbulent lake water was forcibly flattened and suppressed here, forming a "lake surface battlefield" broad enough to accommodate the entire Hesse Legion’s formation, swirling with waves but no longer aggressively destructive!

This was not a solid platform but a real lake surface! Within this area, the power of the Water Repelling Pearl significantly reduced the height and impact of the waves, while providing a miraculous "anchoring" effect.
