Chapter 1482: The other battle
The spirits began to combine in the sky in the until they become like massive clouds that were rotating around themselves. Before long, the entire planet began to shake, and the people of the group that were leaving the pocket dimension had a hard time keeping their stances.
As Rain’s companions watched in horror, the mana of the planet was forcefully ripped from its very core, like a violent extraction of lifeblood from a wounded beast. The energy surged upwards, defying gravity’s pull as it ascended into the sky, swirling and coalescing into a monstrous form of ethereal proportions.
The air crackled with otherworldly energy as the mana took shape, its outline shifting and contorting as if struggling to contain the sheer power coursing through its form. But what truly sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it was the realization that the mana was not alone.
Mixed within its luminous tendrils were the spectral visages of countless spirits, their incorporeal forms merging seamlessly with the swirling energy. It was a haunting sight as if some unseen force had twisted and corrupted the very essence of the planet itself.
For a moment, silence reigned as everyone took in the enormity of what was unfolding before them. It was a scene straight out of a nightmare, a grotesque fusion of mana and spirits that defied comprehension.
"It looks like this battle will be pretty weird..." Jori said when he left the pocket dimension.
"Focus on doing your jobs as we had discussed!" Roan shouted. "Group one, wait for the chances to attack and wait for your leaders! Group two, be ready to defend against any attacks! Group three, be ready to..."
Before Roan could finish his sentences, the monster amalgamation above took the shape of a weird, long vehicle. It looked like one that the group had seen in the junkyard... but soon, the creature began to fly in circles and bombard them with small-scale mana cannons.
The second group, as Roan had ordered, raised their hands and summoned countless mana shields to block the attacks. When they were destroyed, many others immediately took their place. The atmosphere began to quake and shake with all those attacks, but surprisingly enough, no one on their side was hurt.
