Chapter 1093: Desperate Struggle [Part 1]


    ?


    The moment the barrier of Antis fell, the Defenders found themselves surrounded from all sides.


    However, to their surprise, the Progenitors and the army under theirmand didn''t attack right away.


    The reason for this was really simple.


    They weren''t on the same side.


    If someone were to capture Ethan, that person would be jointly attacked by everyone, so no one was in a hurry to go first.


    Leviathan, who also understood this logic, didn''t rush back to Antis and only pinned down the enemy he had faced earlier, which was the Skybreaker Roc, who was now submerged in the sea with only its beak above the surface of the water.


    He didn''t want to create a spark by going back to Antis, knowing that if he returned, the Progenitors would team up to attack him, which could lead to the destruction of the city.


    Nuckvee, on the other hand, didn''t have this problem.


    Seeing his friends in danger, it stopped fighting the six-armed Demon Lord, Malrith and charged toward Antis.


    The Devil of the Sea simply attacked anyone in sight, like a rabid dog out to bite anyone within its range.


    Thus, it charged toward Antis and cleaved a path of carnage, allowing it to arrive next to itspanions.


    "I have a suggestion," Malrith, who was now freed from fighting Nuckvee, said with a smile. "Let us all send a thousand of our people. The first one to capture the vessel will not be attacked by everyone else. That way, we can all return home and still be friends. What do you guys think?"


    "Hmm, this is not a bad proposal," Rullion, who also didn''t want a conflict with the other Progenitors, agreed.


    Valthar, who had been sent flying earlier by Eiko, had finally regained itsposure and hovered beside Rullion, still possessing the body of the Naga King.


    Although the Cursed Sword didn''t want to admit it, it felt relieved that the baby slime it had faced earlier had left the battlefield.


    Their exchange made it understand that it could not beat the Fairy Princess in a one-on-one battle.


    Another Progenitor, who went by the title The ck Mist also gave its agreement.


    The shadowy apparition that manifested as a thick, suffocating fog, absorbing all light and slowly suffocating those within, was a terror that not many wanted to face in battle.


    The Eight Progenitors, who had just arrived at the battlefield, also epted Malrith''s proposal and chose their Elite Units to attack Antis.


    "Are our subordinates allowed to get in the way of each other?" asked a handsome Progenitor with Phoenix wings pping behind his back.


    "Yes," Malrith replied. "It won''t be fun otherwise, right? Also, I''m sure that everyone has this thought as well, so let''s just go with that."


    All in all, the twelve Progenitors who were on the scene, set down some rules for their conquest.


    Leviathan, who heard their agreement, pondered for a while before deciding not to interfere.


    If the Progenitors wouldn''t personally make their move, there was still a fifty-fifty chance that the Defenders would be able to resist thebined attacks of the various armies that had gathered around Antis.


    Ethan''s Lovers, the three Mermaid Princesses, the Protector ns, Psov''s Monster Brigade, and King Betram''s armies were in the city.


    Theirbined force numbered in the thousands, and Leviathan believed that they would be able to defend Ethan for a period of time until reinforcements arrived.


    As for the members of the Ocean Races, the Armies of the Progenitors were keeping them at bay.


    But they also didn''t dare toe too close because there were twelve Progenitors present at the scene.


    It would be extremely difficult to fight them, so they could only watch with bated breath as the armies that were chosen by the Progenitors mobilized into battle formation.


    Illumina, who stood in front of the Royal Pce, narrowed her eyes.


    Although they were smaller in numbers, she believed that they could still overturn the


    situation as long as the Progenitors didn''t personally participate in the battle.


    Nicole, who was currently in control of her body, had already told Baradiel that she could take


    the initiative to gain control if ever Ethan was truly in danger.


    The Primordial Progenitor agreed without hesitation, knowing that Nicole might end up doing something reckless if anything happened to her lover.


    The face-off between the two armiessted for only a few minutes.


    But it was the most intense standoff that had happened ever since this battle started.


    "Ariel, do it," Illumina said before summoning dozens of Water Balls around her.


    Princess Ariel nodded in understanding and summoned her Cauldron.


    She then pressed her hands together and sang a song, activating her powers, which were further enhanced by the cauldron of the Dagda.


    A green wave of light washed over the Defenders of Antis, increasing their strength, stamina, morale, and willpower.


    Ethan''s lovers were already holding their wands, ready to fight as soon as the enemy started to invade the city.


    Enzo and the members of the Protector ns stood beside Joanne, who was also raring to fight against those who wished to capture her brother.@@novelbin@@


    Suddenly, one of the Wraiths belonging to Malrith''s Faction, screamed before charging toward the city alongside the Wraiths that were part of its legion.


    The other armies of the Progenitors followed suit, and soon, the Magic Cannons of the city red to life.


    Illumina unleashed a barrage of Water Beams, while Lilian pointed her wand to the sky, making dark clouds gather.


    Soon, rain started to fall, and the youngdy used her Legacy to bend it to her will.


    Countless water needles descended upon their enemies like rain, making them scream in pain.


    Chloe, who had summoned the Stone of Destiny, pointed her wand at the iing monster army and summoned her Fox Familiar, Kon.


    The little Fire Fox increased its size until it was two meters tall and five meters long. It then unleashed a barrage of fireballs at the iing enemies, not even bothering to aim due to


    how numerous they were.


    Ethan''s lovers had steeled their resolve the moment they decided to apany Ethan to


    Antis.


    They knew that their lives would be in danger, but they still apanied him. For them, actively participating was better than painfully waiting for any news of their lover.


    Now that they were facing hordes upon hordes of monsters, all of them held their ground.


    They were not only doing this for their love of Ethan but also for the future that would allow them to spend their lives with him until death do them part.
