*Roar!*
The sea monsters roared as if they were feeling challenged. The giant octopus was furious because something dared to give it with such fear.
No matter what would happen and how strong the opponent was, an overlord would never back down from the enemies.
"Ah-huh? Why are they going berserk instead? They are not afraid of my aura and pressure in the slightest. Do they want to die instead? Even if it's only a tiny fraction of my real power, it's still a warning attack from a Saint Devil, you know?" Sylvia felt somewhat amazed at the bravery of the sea creatures.
The giant octopus stared at the puny humans above the massive chunk of metal with angry eyes. It instantly signaled the smaller sea creatures to carry out the attack.
The warships and mother ships began to carry out defensive attacks against the invasion from land and sea. Still, all of them were less effective because not all of them could be destroyed with human weapons.
"Ely, the laser beam cannons in this mothership only number a dozen to deal with those thousands of supernatural beings. Please remove my magic seal, and I will make them all run away in fear with my Saint real aura. Or, perhaps, if you will allow it, I can eradicate them into nothingness." Sylvia extended her left hand towards Elysia with an excited smile. She expected some action to warm up.
"Don't commit mass slaughter right now. If possible, make them run away in fear. So, they will tell the others about our threat. We still need to explore this realm..." Elysia looked at her left forearm and removed the seal with some effort. She then breaks the magic seal on Sylvia and Vanessa.
"Hum-mm~ Thank you, Ely. Allow me to serve the light and pave the way for you." Sylvia clasped her hands together and looked at Elysia with a look of expectation.
"You have my blessings, Sylvi. Beat those underworld creatures to make them retreat." Elysia put her hand on Sylvia's head and gave a light pat. She applied some harmless reinforcement magic and light attribute enhancement.
"Hehe, Vann, please protect Ely for me." After receiving the cat's nod, Sylvia jumped high into the sky and shot towards the horde of sea creatures.
"E-Elysia-san?" Erina was surprised, but she didn't know what to ask.
"We're at a disadvantage, as it turns out. Those underworld creatures are tricky for humans like us, and we're vastly outnumbered." Elysia slapped the empty air, but a crash occurred and created a black mist to dissipate.
"What, what was that?" Mio was gaping in astonishment. She didn't even know what had happened just now and what would happen next.
"That's the invisible attack of a sneaky evil spirit. Please be careful and stay close to me." Elysia examines her surroundings with her advanced perception and sacred vision.
The elite soldiers fought hard to eradicate the underworld creatures with their superpowers. However, there was a limit to what humans could achieve, especially in this situation and threats.
The death toll was inevitable, and the number of injured people grew. Elysia's conscience ached to see such a horrendous sight.
This was probably a tiny fraction of what might happen in Vrelenia soon. The inevitable battle where the accursed monsters would break free from the sealed areas to ravage the world.
'Ely, why don't you shoot an arrow of light and blow it up in the sky? Those beings with the light attribute will turn to ashes for sure.' Elena suggested a playful suggestion in a playful tone.
'I am against it in our current situation. We are still undercover, and no one should know yet about Master Elysia's real strength. If possible, we can send the adorable Vann to eradicate those invading underworld creatures.' Rhea immediately went against the suggestion, even though she knew it was a joke.
'Mm, I will help those who are injured. Vann will go with me to exterminate the underworld creatures. I can no longer stand still and just watch now.' Elysia made up her mind, and no one was against the decision.
"Vann, we're going into action too. Please protect me, okay?" Elysia stroked the white cat on her shoulder.
"Meow~" Vanessa meowed, full of confidence. Those lowly underworld creatures were nothing to her.
"Okay, Erina-san, Mio-san, let's help the soldiers down there eradicate the demons." Elysia didn't wait for their answer even though she gave an invitation. She immediately rushed inside by running.
"W-wait, Elysia-san!" Erina gasped and immediately followed closely behind.
Mio followed suit to make sure Erina wasn't hurt no matter what happened.
"Hahaha! Feel what is called a true terror. This is what you will get for challenging me!" Sylvia beat and bullied the giant sea creature and its minions.
*Boom!*
The ocean was turbulent and caused big waves, but Elysia simply approached the nearby fallen soldier. He was severely injured but was still breathing and could have been saved.
She crouched down, put her hands on the soldier's chest, and used her healing magic. The green light enveloped her palm as she began to save a life.
"Grrrr..." Vanessa took an intimidating stance, and those evil spirits fled in fright.
Elysia only needed two minutes to get the fallen soldier out of a critical state. He would survive, but fully recovered is another matter.
"Let's move." Elysia spoke before running towards the big battle on the ship's deck.
"..." Erina and Mio looked at each other in amazement. They had absolutely no idea what Elysia had just done to that fallen soldier.
Mio crouched down to examine the soldier at a glance. This person was still alive.
"Mio, we will be left behind by Elysia-san." Erina patted Mio's shoulder and ran after Elysia.
"Hmm." Mio nodded and followed along.
Meanwhile, the elites and the higher-ups gaped in amazement to see a battle over the sea. A girl with white hair but wrapped in a black aura seemed to be playing with the giant sea creatures like there wasn't the slightest tension over there. The battle was one-sided.
The girl kicked the giant octopus, and the battle ended as easy as that. The giant octopus fled, and so did the other sea creatures.
It was anticlimactic and a bit weird, but it was much better than their current battle on ships.
"Why are you just standing there like idiots while our brothers and sisters are still battling the demons? Take up your weapons and go into action with me!" Lukas raised his special-type rifle and rushed towards the enemies.
"Wow, that girl is surprisingly powerful. Is she a Great Master? But, why is she still young and beautiful?" One of the young elites muttered and immediately moved. He represented many of the questions that many people had at the time.
The sea was turbulent, and the warriors were still fighting to wipe out the evil supernatural beings. It was a defense and survival battle where they didn't have much information about their opponent.
*Bam* *Bam* *Pew* *Pew*
"Ha!" The soldiers fired their special-type rifles at the demons.
"Shit, some of them can possess our soldier and turn us into an enemy? This is getting worse, and is this our first battle in the underworld? This is going to be hell." Bai Jin frowned and rushed quickly to render the possessed soldier unconscious.
"If it goes like this and continues, we will die here. I still don't want to die, dammit!" Bai Jin gritted his teeth and looked around with a gloomy expression. The situation was getting worse as time went on, and he didn't like it.
"Haha, is that all that young elite china has? We expect more from you. Don't complain, or you'll demoralize your comrades and subordinates." Lukas laughed lightly. He still looked fresh and calm despite his body being covered in dirt and blood.
"But, well, we have twice as many opponents as we do, and those evil ghosts make things worse. Shots and slashes mean nothing to them."
"I hope that the white-haired girl or any Admiral helps us in this worst of the ranks."
"Hey, they are dealing with a tougher battlefield, you fool. We will die without knowing why if they don't handle the stronger ones."
"Yeah, look at that white-haired heroic girl. She repelled the entire gigantic sea monsters alone."
"Woah! Supergravity cannon and the electromagnetic gun didn't significantly affect those sea monsters. Still, that girl managed to drive the monsters away? That gigantic octopus seems to be the big boss. Hurt and run away like a loser, haha."
The young elites exchanged jokes and conversations in between their fights.
"Hmm..." Lydia froze one of the supernatural beings with her superpower with some thoughts in mind. It was as if she could unravel an extraordinary mystery, but she didn't know how to explain it.
She then glanced at the fallen soldiers. There were already about a hundred who either died, were seriously injured, or simply fainted. No one had time to check the condition of the fallen soldiers yet because everyone was struggling against evil supernatural beings with their superpowers.
It was only a matter of time until they would fall because eliminating one was already draining so much energy. And the fact that outnumbered is bittersweet.
A strange commotion broke out at that moment, and something was approaching. The attention of almost everyone on deck turned to the source of the turmoil.
They widened their eyes as an adorable little white cat eradicated the semi-transparent black ghosts with a few electric claws.
