Second World



1934 Chapter 1934. Spectral Plane

Thelgrun might have promised Wilted he would provide her the support of the army, but he was honestly skeptical. Ile continued to observe the battle in the sky as his troops stayed defending the walls. After one day, the four outworlders were still there tussling with Leviathan. Then only did Thelgrun think maybe Wilted's claim wasn't hot air after all. He started sending orders to his commanders to prepare for a full advance.

After one day, most of the wilderness monsters summoned by Wilted were killed. They were unlike the army, who could coordinate and retreat when they were in danger so they could recover. They just fought until they died. Hence, they didn't last too long. Even so, they gave the defenders a chance to regroup and gain better footholds.

From those advantageous positions, Thelgrun slowly advanced the troops to gain better control of the battlefield. Unfortunately, his safe approach was too slow. When Leviathan attempted to flee back to his army, his soldiers had not fully controlled the enemy's rear line.

Thelgrun issued a full charge then. He commanded all troops to leave the defensive walls. The support personnel at the rear were ready, too. They packed up their tools and retreated past the hidden traps. The frontline troops wouldn't receive any extra potions and wouldn't have their equipment fixed anymore. This was all out now.

The demons were taken aback by the defenders' sudden ferociousness. However, this act couldn't stop the demons, who soon received a mental call from Leviathan.

Arther and Tiemezzys tried their best to stop the demons who took into the air, but they were outnumbered. Many demons flew toward Leviathan.

Thelgrun cursed himself. He should have more confidence in those outworlders. He might. have sullied their one chance of defeating Leviathan by playing it safe. He barked orders, calling whoever could fly to take to the sky. These fliers chased after the demons, but it didn't look promising.

All of a sudden, Leviathan and those outworlders disappeared after a flash of blue light. Everyone was astounded. The demons who were heading toward Leviathan continued to fly forward. They circled the place where Leviathan was. They found no trace of their lord. Even the mythical-grade demons couldn't sense Leviathan's presence. The devil had truly vanished.

Meratis looked around. She didn't need her mana sense to tell her she was no longer where she was a second ago. Everything around her was a blue void. Aside from her, the four outworlders, their techno golems, and Leviathan, there was nothing else. Ile couldn't even see the ground under her. It was a blue abyss for as far as her eyes could see.

"Where are we...?" She asked.

"There is no time to explain. We don't have much time," Wilted answered her. "We have to defeat Leviathan in ten minutes!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ten... Ten minutes?" Meratis stammered. Although Leviathan's HP bar was close to ten percent, the amount was still high by normal standards. To take out that remaining IIP within ten minutes touched the realm of impossibility. After all, it took them two days to bring Leviathan's HP to this level.

Leviathan was also astonished by the change in his surroundings. From his acute mana sense, he could tell they did not change places. They changed planes.

The place they were at was the spectral plane. They were brought here by Joe, who used Eldritch Knight's level 90 spell, Spectral Plane. Wilted commanded Joe to refrain from using this spell until the last moment when Leviathan tried to flee.

This spell was the ultimate restraining spell. It was the same as imprisoning everyone in another plane. Aside from divine beings, no one could flee this plane. They had to stay for the duration of the spell. At the max level, that duration was ten minutes.

One positive effect of this spectral plane was all of Joe's allies received a buff while they were here. As for his enemies, they were weakened. Another effect was all spectral spells cast in this plane produced double the normal effect. This effect was not only limited to the caster's allies. If Joe's enemies were Mage Knights, their spectral spells were also improved. "George! Not yet?" Wilted asked.

"One more minute!" Paytowin answered.

Their hope rested on Paytowin's Omega Battle Mech. It was the only one with the power output to take out those ten percent HP in such a limited time.

"We can't just let him be! Ile constantly recovers his IIP." Anotherday exclaimed. Ile flew forward and threw his flying daggers.

Leviathan grunted. After getting a sense of the place, he knew it was futile to try to escape. Although this place had a weakening effect, his primeval fury was still in play, so he was still very strong.

Ile growled. "You, worms, think I am locked in here with you? No! You are locked in here with me!"

He rushed forward with his mouth opened wide. The flying knives Anotherday had thrown were swallowed by him. Ilis tentacles swatted around. These tentacles were very long and thus had a great reach.

Joe cast Spectral Squad. The spell produced twenty spectral projections instead of ten due to the double effect. The produced spectral projections were also tougher than normal. These twenty spectral projections bravely went forward to intercept Leviathan.

Brave King and Mazin joined the spectral projections. Meratis cast Wind Protection, which summoned swirling winds that followed after the frontline combatants. These winds reduced the damage they received.

Though the spectral projections were stronger in this plane, they were still nothing compared to Leviathan under Primeval Fury. The tentacles whipped around, and all the spectral projections were slapped to the side. Leviathan then lunged with his mouth opened wide.

In one swift move, Leviathan gulped Mazin and Brave King, Previously, there was either the Caelum Whale or the Omega Battle Mech to grab Leviathan's main attention. Without them, Leviathan was free to move. Mazin was also not in gigantify condition, Leviathan easily swallowed the two.

The devil turned to Joc with a provocative expression. "Want to enter me again to save those two golems?" He asked.

"Ugh...," Joe didn't take the bait. They were short on time. The current priority was to deplete Leviathan's HP before his spectral plane ran out of duration. He had no time for a rescue mission. Furthermore, even if those techno golems were destroyed, they could be

repaired.

"Rarrgghh...!" Leviathan lunged forward again. Without the Caelum Whale stopping him, he could move freely. He was heading toward Wilted.

Though Meratis also had healing spells, hers didn't hold a candle to Wilted's. This girl was the reason his opponents had been able to last this long against him. He was going to change that. He opened his mouth again, which generated a strong sucking force as he advanced. Wilted could fight the pulling force, but she couldn't move away. Leviathan continued to approach.

A chained claw grabbed Wilted from behind and pulled her away. Leviathan turned to the perpetrator. It was Anotherday. Anotherday never stopped throwing his flying knives. Though they didn't cause much damage to Leviathan, it reduced the cooldown of his other skills. This allowed him to use the chained claw again so soon.

A tornado cannon from Meratis slammed into Leviathan while his attention was taken, followed by the Gamma Ray Cannon from Paytowin. The force was enough to stop Leviathan's advance.

Meratis put herself before Leviathan. She was the one with the highest IIP after Leviathan. If she had to sacrifice herself to give the other the chance to attack, so be it. She cast a spell that formed a large illusory shield. Aside from reducing damage, this shield also protected her from movement restriction. This was for her to resist getting swallowed by Leviathan. She wouldn't do any good in stopping Leviathan if that happened.

Leviathan growled. His mouth shone a bluish-white.

"Be careful! Ilis radioactive breath was off cooldown!" Wilted warned.

Meratis shuddered at the sight. She wasn't sure if she could survive that radioactive breath, but she steeled herself. She refused to back down. As she prepared to take the blow,

Paytowin came before her.

"It's off cooldown!" Paytowin exclaimed.

The Omega Battle Mech reappeared just as Leviathan unleashed his radioactive breath. The destructive beam slammed into the giant robot. It was pushed back as its HP bar dropped. Meratis and Paytowin clung on its back.

'Why are you not using Boson Shield?' Joe sent Paytowin a message.

'We are short on time!' Paytowin replied.

The last time, Leviathan's radioactive breath took out almost twenty percent of the Omega Battle Mech's IIP. That was after half of its power was reduced by the Boson Shield. Paytowin wanted the Omega Battle Mech's HP to decrease to half so it could enter the pilot

mode.

It was working, the Omega Battle Mech's HP decreased sharply. 'Maybe, a bit too sharply.... Paytowin thought as he observed his robot's HP bar.

"George, he is in the state of Primeval Fury!" Wilted yelled.

"Oh, crap!" Paytowin cursed. The Omega Battle Mech's IP had reached half and continued

to decrease.

Paytowin's hand was on the Omega Battle Mech's back. Ile hurriedly activated the Boson Shield and summoned Mothership Sigma at the same time. The Mothership Sigma and Omega Battle Mech had the same cooldown time. Paytowin always summoned the two in

Landem.

The giant spaceship announced its arrival by firing its main cannon. The beam struck Leviathan's head, which prompted him to stop discharging his radioactive breath, The devil eyed these two mechanical opponents with savage hostility. After the Caelum Whale, these two were the most troublesome. He swore to take out these two for good now,
