Chapter 991 War of Attrition
"Hey, stupid beast, do you think this will be useful?"
Seeing such a huge thing hitting the ground, the caster of [Dawn Spell Society] smiled disdainfully.
For this strong man who has mastered extremely powerful spellcasting ability.
The sea beast's actions were nothing more than extreme actions in the face of a powerful magic circle, and had minimal impact on the actual battle situation.
"Whether it's water or solid matter, you can't break through my defense!"
The thing is just like what the caster of the Dawn Spell Society said.
Although the huge sea beast jumped onto the land, even if its huge body collided with the personnel guarding the port, it still could not have any lethal effect.
"Hmm -"
Then, the sea creature jumped out of the water and lay on the port, making a unique low sound.
Before the casters could understand the emotion it wanted to express in its voice, strong magic fluctuations began to appear on this sea beast, and its performance was extremely unstable!
The next second.
Irregular bulges and fluidity began to appear on the surface of the sea beast's body, and its flesh, flesh and fat completely lost their stability. A feeling that the body was about to explode immediately appeared on this giant beast!
"Significant changes in density or volume occur primarily in gas and vapor flows when pressure differences are large..."
The situation before us left no room for hesitation.
Then the big witch who was in the middle of the defense team spoke.
The old holder of the original scripture recited a spell, and the invisible power immediately completely enveloped the huge body of the sea beast.
Boom -
followed by a roar.
This was a sea beast that jumped onto the ground. Its body was blown into powder directly in an invisible cage. The air was suddenly filled with a bloody and unpleasant smell.
But other than that, there is no other impact.
The great witch Teresa's extremely fast reaction method firmly limited the power of the sea beast's self-destruction within the control range of the spell, so it did not cause any damage.
That is, watching this scene.
The expression on Costat's face from behind was even more puzzled:
"Sir, this is too strange!"
"These sea creatures gain wisdom through magical properties, shouldn't they behave so recklessly?"
The maid said about the scene in front of her. Understanding can be said to hit the nail on the head.
Although the sea beast jumped onto the land, its body was quickly imprisoned by the magic of the great witch Theresa, but this did not prevent people from seeing that the original purpose of this guy was to threaten the casters on the port by self-destruction.
For a living animal, this is absolutely incomprehensible behavior.
And the confusion about the maid.
Ronald's expression did not change at all. Instead, he pointed to the sea water in front of him:
"Costat, this is just the beginning."
"You continue to watch -"
Plop!
As soon as Ronald finished speaking, there was something in the sea water. Sound again.
Another guy whose size was similar to the sea beast just now also jumped out of the water. Then he almost completely repeated the action of his companion when he self-destructed. This guy also had extremely obvious magic fluctuations and exploded immediately!
Boom——
Fortunately, the defensive personnel are fully focused at this moment.
So when the sea beast exploded, the big witch who had just taken action followed closely and immediately limited the scope of the explosion to a very small level, without causing any impact on the surrounding areas.
From this point of view, the scene was indeed perfectly controlled for a while.
But it was this result that made the few people present who had the clearest understanding of the battle situation feel even more nervous.
Thump thump -
soon, this ominous premonition was confirmed.
The sea beasts hiding under the water are really not afraid of life and death!
After the first two had taken the lead in paying their lives, a succession of sea beasts jumped out of the water, and then carried out suicide attacks on land one after another.
Even the great witch Teresa was able to perfectly control the impact of the explosion at first, and took the time to return the shattered body to the sea.
But as time went on, the effects of my aging body and the need for constant concentration followed.
Several flaws in the defense against sea monster attacks also began to appear.
It is in these gaps that the true face of the sea beasts' suicide attacks is revealed.
Through a special way of magical operation.
The flesh and blood splashed when these giant beasts self-destructed actually had an effect that could ignore the defensive array and interfere with the magic power of the caster.
Although it cannot cause a lethal attack immediately.
But you must know that most of the spell casters standing here at the port are working hard to maintain the operation of the entire defensive spell.
If enough people are affected by this.
Then the collapse of the entire defensive formation is probably inevitable!
For a while.
The defense on the dock side was at a stalemate.
Because Ronald's first wave of thunder attacks were too terrifying, these giant beasts hidden deep under the water also knew how powerful these human spellcasters were.
Therefore, they did not dare to show all their power at the same time, but chose to attack one after another.
In this way, the method of fighting changes from a competition of strength to a pure war of attrition.
Even if there is the great witch Theresa on the caster's side, or a powerful person like the [Dawn Spell Society] who is extremely proficient in the magic circle, participating in the battle. But compared to the seemingly endless number of sea beasts, the strength of these dozens of spellcasters still seems a bit weak.
This war of attrition continues.
It is already obvious which side will win the final victory.
...
Looking at the scene happening in front of me.
Ronald, who was in the safe area at the rear, was also making secret calculations in his mind.
——Two hours.
This should be the limit that the caster on the dock can support.
Even if there are many people taking over Teresa's job in the middle, as long as this time is exceeded, the collective mental and physical pressure of the people at the dock will probably reach the limit.
At that time, the entire defense line collapsed in just an instant.
I'm afraid that's when Ronald is needed to help immediately.
Bang bang bang——
At this moment, Ronald's keen hearing detected the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wet ground behind him amid the continuous explosions.
He turned around and looked.
A somewhat surprising figure appeared there.
Ronald's good friend in Burrenwich, the great detective Swift, braved the heavy rain and walked in the opposite direction from the city at night to show up at the port.
After witnessing the scene in front of me of the confrontation between the caster and the sea beast.
The detective turned around and walked towards Ronald without hesitation, then waved hello:
"Ronald, I knew you were also on the shore."
"I have some information about Capone being attacked by sea beasts. Special news, do you want to hear it?"
