Chapter 1899. Facing Leviathan

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Not long after that, monsters started rushing in from all over. If the defenders had not been notified beforehand, they would have panicked, and their formation would become disarrayed. The monsters ignored the defenders and went directly to assault the demons. The defenders pulled back and let the monsters engage the demons. They recovered themselves and provided support.

While that was happening, two of the largest behemoths in this world continued to tussle in the sky above. The Caelum Whale mainly focused on defense without any attempt at attacking. This was mostly the situation after the first battle. The Caelum Whale knew it had no hope of defeating Leviathan. Its role was just to stop Leviathan from doing more damage to the army and the defensive structures below.

Meratis never left the Caelum Whale. She cast spells to aid the whale. She was a level 90 eternal and had many healing spells, so her role was crucial in helping the Caelum Whale survive the battle against Leviathan.

Tiemezzys was helping the battle on another side of the battlefield. As with the other fronts, the defenders were stretched thin. They couldn't afford to have many combatants facing Leviathan.

*WHAM!*

The Caelum Whale reeled back after receiving a slam from Leviathan's massive tails. The sharp spikes of that tail left scars on Caelum Whale's armor-plated skin. Many such scars were on the Caelum Whale's body. These were all lasting wounds it suffered after repeated battles with the colossal devil.

The Caelum Whale's max HP had even been reduced to 80% than normal. This was a side effect of suffering repeated wounds without having the proper time to heal. To recover this max HP loss, the whale needed a long rest. It wouldn't get that rest anytime soon with how the war was going.

Despite the situation, the Caelum Whale didn't stop fighting. It had its honor. As long as its faction continued to fight in this war, so would it. It would protect the members of its faction until its last breath. That was his role as the faction guardian.

*WHAM!*

Another body slam took the Caelum Whale's breath. It rolled uncontrollably in the air as the water around tried to stabilize it.

"Hahaha!" Leviathan's laughter was full of mockery. He cast a spell that conjured multiple balls made of compact swirling winds. These windy balls flew toward the Caelum Whale.

Meratis cast a spell that created a churning energy wall to block the windy balls. The windy balls exploded after hitting the energy wall. Each ball turned into a maelstrom upon exploding, ravaging everything. Meratis' energy wall was obliterated by this violent power. The water around the Caelum Whale tried to cushion the maelstrom's effect but both Meratis and the whale still felt the force. They lost HP in the process.

Leviathan didn't let up. He dove and put himself below them. All the while, sharp wind blades were generated with each flap of his side fins. These wind blades penetrated Caelum Whale's protective water and cut into the whale's skin armor.

He then rose. Like an alligator rushing up from the water to catch its prey. His huge mouth opened, ready bite the helpless whale.

An energy beam suddenly slammed into him. This energy beam was so large that it almost covered half his titanic body. Traces of lightning were inside the beam. The beam was so powerful that it was enough to push and stop his attack. Damage numbers also came up above him as the beam continued pushing him back. It took an effort before he could balance himself again.

The beam had been so fast that he was hit by the time he sensed the attack. He growled as he looked in the direction where the beam had come from. Four small figures came from that direction.

'Outworlders?' He thought after these four approached.

The beam just now came from Paytowin. It was a level 60 skill from his Heavenly Mech Warrior. The skill was called Gamma Ray Cannon. It was a linear offensive skill that covered a wide area. The skill inflicted both lighting and light element damage. It also produced a very strong force, as had been proven by its feat in pushing Leviathan back.

"Wilted!" Meratis called from above the Caelum Whale.

"Madam Meratis," Wilted greeted back. "We are here to help."

Meratis was surprised by the declaration. But then again, they did stop Leviathan and push him back. She used her Inspect and was astonished to learn their levels. Even so, she was skeptical.

"Are you sure? This devil is unlike any opponent you have fought against," Meratis said.

"Don't worry. Leave him to us," Wilted replied. "You and the Caelum Whale can take a breather first."

The Caelum Whale had been fighting Leviathan for a whole day. Despite its tremendous pool of HP, its HP bar was down to less than half. That was even after Meratis kept on healing it. Meratis herself was still fine because it was the Caelum Whale who took the brunt of the damage.

"Hahaha!" Loud laughter echoed across the sky. It was coming from Leviathan. "Leave me to you? A bunch of critters dares to utter such an affront? Haha… Know your place, outworlders!"

Leviathan opened his mouth wide. He started to suck.

"Be careful!!" Meratis called.

Leviathan always used this move against opponents below large-sized monsters. Those who were swallowed couldn't do anything aside from waiting until their life was devoured. Meratis was immune from getting sucked because she had the Caelum Whale protecting her. She had a special link with the whale so she was always tethered to it.

A strong suction force was generated after Leviathan opened his mouth. This force got stronger the longer it was.

Meratis was worried about the four. She wanted to ask the Caelum Whale to go and block the four from being pulled into Leviathan's mouth, but she noticed the four's expressions. No worry was seen on their faces.

Their bodies shook as they tried to resist the pulling force. They were struggling, but they stayed their ground. Even after several seconds had passed, they were not pulled toward the devil.

Leviathan's sucking force was strong, but it was not a skill. It could be considered a standard attack. The strength needed to resist the pull was significant but not unreasonable. Paytowin and the others had high levels, top-rate equipment, pinnacle classes, and max-leveled bloodlines. Their stats were above the norm. Even Wilted, who should be the weakest, had the minimum strength to resist the pull.

Leviathan closed his mouth. If those outworlders didn't enter his stomach by now, there was no use to keep on sucking.

"You surprised me, outworlders. Hehe," Leviathan chuckled. "Perhaps you can give me a bit more entertainment than that whale. I was getting bored, anyway. I have been debating in my mind if I should just kill it and be done with it. It's a good thing you come along."

"We will give you more than entertainment, devil!" Joe proclaimed.

Leviathan chuckled again. "Hehe. Come then. Let's see what you got, but let me warn you. If I don't find you worthy after all those statements, I will be angry. If I'm angry, I won't hold back anymore. I will let out my anger on you, that whale, and all those upperworlders."

"Tch… He truly hasn't gone all out yet…," Meratis uttered. She had suspected it was so, but she didn't want to entertain the thought. Because if she did, the thought would affect her will to fight.

Wilted and the others, however, weren't fazed by Leviathan's threat. Wilted turned to Paytowin. "You are up," she said.

Paytowin nodded. He moved forward.

"What is this? Do you seriously plan to fight me alone?" Leviathan asked. His tone was more like someone who was offended than amused.

"No. Not alone," Paytowin answered. "But I will be your main opponent. Transform!"

Light enveloped Paytowin's body as plates of metal materialized around him. They revolved around Paytowin at high speed before slapping into his body. When the process was over, Paytowin had turned into a cyborg.

This was the first skill of his pinnacle class, Alpha Techno Suit. The skill was similar to Brave Techno Suit. It gave him a metal suit that improved all his aspects. The metal suit of Alpha Techno Suit was bigger than Brave Techno Suit. Paytowin could be said to be almost twice his original size. The design was also sleeker. The metal plates covering Paytowin's body were silver in majority, with a few red lines ornamenting them.

"Does he have to yell transform before doing it?" Joe complained.

"At least he didn't do any funny moves before yelling transform," Anotherday remarked.

"Oh, I heard someone mentioning Jack did that once. I sure wish I had been there to watch," Joe said.

Meratis was speechless. How could they still chat so calmly? They would be in trouble if they underestimated Leviathan. She turned to Paytowin. What do they expect from that one outworlder? His aura increased after donning that metal suit, but it was still nothing compared to Leviathan.

Wilted saw Meratis' expression. She knew what Meratis was thinking. She came over and said to her. "Don't worry. I know how fearsome Leviathan is. Perhaps more than you. But trust me, it will do us all good if you stay back and focus on healing the Caelum Whale for three hours. We will need the whale again after that."

"Three hours? How do you expect to stop Leviathan during that time?" Meratis asked.

"With that," Wilted pointed into the sky. As she did, something gargantuan floated down from the clouds. That something was a huge f*cking giant robot.
