Guild Wars

The Kraken coughed blood and rose from the depths. That attack had torn away around 1.3% of its total HP and had definitely left it scarred for life. However, the battle was not yet over and it still had to follow the mandate of its master, Poseidon.

Roar!

The Kraken cried out and attacked. It began to fire its regrown tentacles all over the place, slapping and bashing the Dragons, Phoenixes and Golems still abound.

Draco's face became cold as he waved a hand forward. "Core members, attack!"

The core members heard the order and rushed forward, firing off abilities form their classes first then using their bloodlines after. Meanwhile, Draco and Eva and Shuangtian connected spiritually and had a rapid exchange.

They understood the cause and effect, as well as what they needed to do to defeat this foe.

As such, they dug into their bloodlines and resonated with one another, pooling energy within their strongest branches and storing it slowly. Rather than use an ability then fuel it, then cast it out, they were using the energy to fill the branch and then the ability.

It sounded the same but was slightly different. If this was akin to casting, then the first method was instant casting or normal casting while the second method was more like channeling.

They realized that they did have a lot of raw destructive power, which made them able to beat anyone down, but they couldn't kill Rank 7 and True Gods, and the would always end up destroying the environment while fighting.

This was because, as should be obvious, they had the quantity worthy of an Eternal Rank being, but not the quality. Hence the whole 100 Eternal Power & Limit yet 12 Eternal Control.

In that case, this 12 was even further slapped down to 0.1 due to the seal. So what they needed to do was turn that quantity into quality, and that was why they were channeling their energy into abilities.

They were going to fill them with enough power and then compress until quantity became quality. Naturally, this required time and full focus. Otherwise Eva could just stop time while they channeled and destroyed all their tough foes.

However, they had the core members here, and they trusted them enough to hold down the fort. The core members also understood that the killing blow would likely be dealt by the Evil trio, and their job was to stall.

As such, they put in their all!

Tanks rush forward and block the tentacles!

With a roar from Uno, a giant barrier enveloped the area around the core members, and it sported 20 million HP and a damage reduction of 80%! This was the main party in clashing with the approaching giant tentacles filled with fury!

Happy Saint!

Gentle Flower only summoned her scarcely dressed Dryad Sister who laughed and coiled over her sensually, making Happy Scholar have an accident in his pants. However, when the Dryad sister tried to pounce on him, Gentle Flower pulled them back and scolded them, which made the sexy nymphs feel aggrieved.

They were all dryads, so what was their sisters was also their, right? Why didn't she want to share?

This skill directly opened a giant gate to the Shadow Real. The gate itself was like gaseous mist of darkness with the head of a humanoid at the tip of the arch, its eyes glowing with red flames. The doors creaked open and revealed a world that was like an endless plain of burning shadow, with hundreds of different inhumane shapes with burning red eyes appearing in the darkness.

With eldritch roars, they all rushed through the gate and invaded the Main Plane, basking in the pleasure that Silent Walker's Endless Night skill gave them while also benefiting from the power boost.

Dreary Traveler!

｢Netheworld Gate – Active skill

Dreary Traveler concentrated and  manifested a giant gate which had two wooden doors painted with blood and a glowing skull at the pinnacle of the arch. The skull laughed in a echoing voice before the doors burst wide open, releasing hundreds of undead which rushed through crazily.

They also glowed when they were buffed by the Endless Night skill.

Draco!

｢Active 1 – Camelot's Might: Summon the full army of Camelot right before the catastrophic Battle of Camlann. Duration: 21 days. Cooldown: 14 days.

｢Active 1 – Nature's Call: Activating this skill allows the user to summon an army of Wood-type monsters that are of the same Rank as the user for 12 hours. Cooldown: 3 days.｣

As for Draco, it was far more explosive.

The sky was torn open and a scene of battle was shown on the other side. From the crack came exactly 5,000,000 soldiers of Camelot, along with 9 Knights of the Round Table who were both the ones on Arthur's side as well as his enemies.

Arthur, Galahad, Gawain, Bedivere, Kay, Percival, Tristan, Gareth and shockingly… Lancelot!!

Arthur calmly broke their fall with his control of the wind, except for Lancelot who he let crash face first. Lancelot cursed and raised his face that was peerlessly handsome, almost on par with Draco, and glared at Arthur.

Arthur glanced at Lancelot with indifference and then looked away. Lancelot flew into a rage and rushed at Arthur with his sword. Galahad rushed and came in the way of thew two with complicated eyes.

"Dad! Stop it!"

Lancelot looked at his son and his face softened greatly. A hint of shame mixed with doting appeared, and he reached out to stroke the 14-year-old Galahad's head, but the fellow dodged and looked away.

Lancelot felt deep pain from this and looked to most of the other knights who were glancing at him coldly. He knew his standing and trust with them had fallen to the rock bottom, but he was not really bothered.

Only he knew the truth that he and Guinevere had been played to death by Morgana, who orchestrated everything! She even made sure there would be no misunderstanding plot and used magic to make Lancelot and Guinevere actually do the deed, so there was no reversing that.

With Morgana's cunning, there was no way any loophole would be left, so Lancelot didn't even try. It would just make things worse.

Arthur then turned to gaze at Draco on the throne and his eyes narrowed. The fellow seemed much more powerful than before, almost to the point where he was about to be crushed. Not to mention Eva and Shuangtian beside him who even made the misogynistic Arthur feel his heart shake.

Arthur turned to the army of core members and his body shook. These fellows had grown in number and power. He saw them as Draco's own Round Table Knights, and they far surpassed his own knights at their peak!

"M-Monsters." Lancelot muttered with a pale face.

For the first time in a long time, Arthur agreed with Lancelot.
