Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as the snake Captain gave his orders to his subordinates, the snakes engaged in aggressive swims towards their opponent.

They didn’t just swim towards their opponents, they swam while unleashing destruction on them. 

The enormous canons of the snake warships roared, unleashing their shells while their magic guns launched numerous magic beams.

The clownfish were protected by enormous energy shields that extended all the way to the top of the walls, shrouding them all in but the aggressive attacks of the snake warships started draining a lot of energy once it started.

The shield ensured that no soldier of the clownfish army died immediately, but the situation already grew from tense to deadly as the energy shield wobbled.

While the powerful warships of the snakes unleashed destruction from a distance, the snakes who were the vanguards themselves simply relied on their thick skin to move forward, facing the danger directly.

Most of the snakes were shadow domain magicians. With the purple tier predators leading the charge, they had a myriad means to evade focused fire that would enable them to get to the enemy formations.

While the snakes engaged in this bombastic entry, releasing their full offensive power, the clownfish army reacted in a less bombastic manner.

During the few minutes to an hour that the clownfish mechs spent with the new soldiers that they inducted from predator refugees, they already explained the core and purpose of the concentric defense battle formation to them.

This was why once Commander Nemo’s voice blasted through the communication gadgets that every soldier had, they reacted appropriately.

“Stand your ground!”

While watching the battlefield from the central control room, Commander Nemo allowed the snakes to get closer while he observed them, looking for the perfect timing for his soldiers to engage.

“Hold it, slow and steady!”

“…Now!

Once the Commander gave his orders, the clownfish mechs did not rush out to confront their opponents. They simply switched off the safety mechanism of their mechs, aimed through their interface and unleashed destruction.

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!

Bam! Bam!

The mechs shot their lethal loads without restraints as bullets and magic beams of different colors engulfed the battlefield.

Kinetic shells simply crushed any weak snake on impact, laser beams raked through the skin of the snakes, dealing damage as the time counted, while the more powerful mechs unleashed positron and annihilation beams that directly evaporated the snakes on impact.

Once the mechs finally left their hibernating state, unleashing destruction, the shelling from the snake warships became even more focused and intense.

Commander Nemo’s orders was not only directed at the clownfish who piloted the mechs. Though the clownfish army focused more on mechs, they still had a sizeable number of powerful predators.

With the purple tier predators leading the charge, all the remaining soldiers of the clownfish army, including the refugees surged out to meet the snakes.

With hatred, excitement, and rivalry rippling through them, both armies finally collided like the clash of the King Kong and the Godzilla.

Boom!

Teeth dug into flesh, ripping it apart. Claws struck, digging into flesh and tearing it apart. Beast adaptation collided against beast adaptation; magic domain grinded against magic domain as the area became chaotic immediately.

Once it started, there was no stopping it again.

Shadow skills, fire skills, water skills, and unorthodox skills from unorthodox magic domains filled the battlefield as the first blood started being drawn from both sides. Once the first soldier died, a lot followed.

The soldiers involved in this battle were so numerous that when looked at from afar, it was like 2 ant colonies at war.

Of the 2 armies though, it took only about a minute to see that the snakes were the more aggressive ones. 

Though the clownfish soldiers without mechs also engaged in rough melee combat, they were less aggressive, defending more than their counterparts and often retreated like they had another strategy in mind.

The snakes noticed this but it did not make them to stop their plans. In their opinion, with enough strength, any strategy could be destroyed.

With the snakes’ unrelenting aggression, they repeatedly beat the clownfish army back though they also suffered casualties.

In the central control room, Commander Nemo watched all that went on silently with rapt attention. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, calculating rapidly. Once the snakes pushed his soldiers past a point, he gave his next order.

“Activate the Kraken Sea Anemone superstate!”

Boom!

The aggressive snakes were shocked as tentacles suddenly surged out from underneath the seamount where the Anemone Domain was erected.

These tentacles were not like those of an octopus, they were too colorful for that, and a strange magic domain powered these waving tentacles that made them heavy and strong in a way like a boulder.

Before the snakes could comprehend what, these tentacles were for, they lashed out at them like whips of a demon.

Bam! Bam!

The tentacles actually had sharp edges, and through this, they simply lashed down, slapping snakes to death left and right.

As for snakes that didn’t die to the shock impact after being hit, the sharp edges of the tentacles simply ground like a chain cutting machine, cutting the prey to pieces in mere seconds.

The most horrifying part about the tentacles was that they encompassed the defense formation formed by the soldiers of the clownfish army.

“What the hell is that?” The snakes were shocked.

“Is that, a Mega Sea Anemone?”

By the time that they discovered what it was and also recognized its lethality, the single Giant Sea Anemone already killed hundreds of snakes.

And it was still active, the snakes had to temporarily retreat to leave its range which gave them relief though briefly. The disadvantage was that the clownfish mechs had more opportunity to bombard them with impunity.

The Kraken Giant Sea Anemone was the biggest that the Sea Anemone had managed to breed through a perfect mixture of anatomy, mechanical engineering, and magical technology. 

It was the perfect vessel of war!

The clownfish army finally revealed their first hidden trump card.

The destruction wrought by this Giant Sea Anemone was so much that it forcibly took control of the situation, changing the pace to the one that it liked.

With this, the snakes were restricted for the first time.

…

The zone of transition was now a sea of blood and flesh.

After the breach in this important zone of the Anemone Domain, despite the fact that a lot of reinforcement was dispatched here, the battle still raged fiercely as the snakes also dispatched a lot of soldiers here.

Every second, more snakes surged through the hole, entering inside the zone of transition directly as the battle and casualties continued escalating.

The scale of the other battlefields may be larger, but the battle here was definitely the fiercest. Predatism in its raw form was showed.

Despite the intense battle and the staggering casualties, Sebastian managed to hold to his life, maintain his invisibility, and cling to his stealth state.

The more time passed, the more he felt that he would die. As the battle intensity kept on increasing, he despaired since he knew that the real game probably hasn’t started yet.

He was right, another 10 minutes later, the real game started.

The 5 hibernating elders of the Snake Kingdom finally arrived!
