Chapter 269: This isn’t going to be a friendly visit
From his perspective, given the current situation, even if they managed to lure that Leviathan-class hero onto a nearby island or a small continent, it wouldn’t really make a difference.
First off, with that kind of power, if the Leviathan wanted to leave, there’d be no stopping them. They simply didn’t have the means to hold someone like that back.
Besides, this whole region was mostly ocean. Even if they were on land—be it an island or a small continent—it wouldn’t matter much. With the strength of a Crimson Ultimate hero, the terrain wouldn’t change the outcome. It’d probably end up just like before.
"Yeah, it’s definitely not gonna be easy," Auremax said quietly. "We’re talking about a Crimson Ultimate hero here—practically a demigod. And this one’s already awakened a second time. But, my lord, when I say we need to change the natural environment, I don’t mean tricking him onto land. I mean actually altering the environment itself."
"Actually change the environment?" Ethan stiffened, staring at Auremax in surprise.
"I know a few ways we might be able to pull it off," Auremax said slowly.
"Like what?" Ethan asked.
"First," Auremax began, "we could use the power of a Crimson Ultimate hero’s Sacred Realm to forcibly reshape the environment and suppress the enemy’s innate abilities. At its core, it’s a clash of Sacred Realms—pure power versus power. But the problem is, the three young lords we have right now are still too young. This route’s not viable for the time being."
He paused, then continued, "Second option: magic. Tier 4 Magic, to be specific. Any Tier 4 spell has the potential to reshape the natural world, even create incredibly powerful magical domains."
"That’s why Tier 4 Magic is one of the few things that can go toe-to-toe with a Crimson Ultimate hero. If we can target and neutralize their Sacred Realm with a domain spell, their overall power would take a serious hit."
"Most Tier 4 spells in any elemental school include at least one or two domain-type spells—some even more. If we can get our hands on one of those, we could actually change the battlefield to our advantage."
