*baam* *Baam* *Baam*

The ships didn't stop firing for a moment.

"Why..."

The sight of hundreds of small cannons firing at once was a feast for the eyes, and even the bright sunlight of Nihari was quiet compared to that single spot.

"Why is this happening..."

*Boom*

The mothership managed to reload the main cannon and it fired, causing a massive energy wave in all directions that leveled all the remaining buildings to the ground. All the beasts and even the insects who sensed what was happening turned and fled at top speed, but most of them weren't so lucky...

"Why the hell don't you just die?!" General Therin shouted with all his might

It had been about half an hour since the fleet began its all-out attack on Sakaar, but until this moment the cannonshots were disappearing into the sea of ??blood!!

"....." Crossing his arms in front of his chest, and the sea of ??blood moving like a whirlwind around him, Sakaar seemed like a solid stone in the sea of ??time, unshakable.

"Evacuate the ships, kill that bastard no matter the cost, destroy that space portal!!" The general gave the signal and the ships began to open the doors and the soldiers jumped out *woosh* *woosh* *woosh*

No sooner had a soldier reached the ground than he immediately began attacking, using energy weapons in their hands at times, and the strongest among them used attacks using the Minor Law of Corrosion at other times.

Nearly 90 thousand Saints and Sages alongside 80 Martial Emperors assisted the ships in the attack, each one of them aspiring to be the sniper who could strike Sakaar or the space portal, but to no avail... Their attacks were like a handful of sand thrown onto the sea, causing a light splash for a moment before disappearing forever.

... Even though he stayed calm apparently, Sakaar used all his senses to measure his Sea of ??Blood, then involuntarily dug his claws into his upper arm...

It may not be apparent to General Therin and the rest due to the constant movement of the Sea of ??Blood and because Sakaar kept the apparent size of the Sea of ??Blood constant while the rest remained inside his body and he would release it when needed, but he could easily determine that the Sea of ??Blood had decreased by half, and was still decreasing rapidly.

Each shot Cannon and every attack from the soldiers causes his precious blood to evaporate irreversibly, if he continues in the same way he will eventually be destroyed!

Facing the endless barrage of attacks, Sakar finally moved and waved his right hand, "Hmph!"

*Shaa* *Shaa* *Shaa*

Half of the massive blood sea turned into spikes and shot towards the Great Serpent Empire soldiers at a terrifying speed.

"Argh!!"

"Ahh!!"

"Damn it, step back a little and form units to fight off the spikes together!" General Therin panicked as he saw giant blood spikes as long as spears pinning hundreds of his soldiers to the ground, "Dammit... This force is at least equal to Marshal's, no, even a little stronger!!"

Everyone quickly followed the instructions and stepped back a little before continuing the attack without mercy.

As for the blood spikes that had harvested nearly a thousand lives, they turned into liquid again, then covered the corpses and began to draw blood from their bodies until they doubled in size. Seconds later, those spikes shot back into the blood sea, leaving the soldiers' bodies like mummies without a single drop of blood left in them!

*Shaa* *Shaa* *Shaa*

Sakar repeated the same attack and managed to kill 600 soldiers again before they retreated again and tightened the defense more, then he formed the blood into small needles and sprayed them with them, so he harvested about 500 soldiers, then 300 more, then the defenses closed to the point that each time he only killed a few dozen soldiers.

"...." The annoyance appeared on Sakaar's face, he felt helpless but he couldn't move because of his siege, if he left his position to approach the soldiers in any of the directions, the rest would destroy the space portal, and this is something that must not happen!

'If I had the Sound Ring now, I would have been able to summon Phlad to the Space Portal area and--' A drop of regret hit Sakaar for a moment, but he shook it away with a shake of his head. Regret is a trait of the weak. A strong person is one who acknowledges reality and prepares to overcome it, or just accepts his fate and dies steadfastly.

*Shaaa* *Shaaa* *Shaaa*

The killing continued without stopping... After each killing spree, the sea of ??blood increased a little, but the endless wave of attacks made it lose more.

Sakaar looked at his wrist... That area was cracked, and the skin on his entire body was dry as if he hadn't drunk a drop of water in years. There was no longer any free blood that could come out. If he forced more out, he might fall dead.

"Continue!!" General Therin noticed what was happening and became more excited, if he brought down that creature dead he would definitely have a huge reward.

*Baam* *Baam* *Baam*

"..." Sakar continued to look at his cracked wrist for a long time, he had stored the blood of tens of thousands of dead and still it was not enough to defend himself, was his method wrong? He always thought having the Blood Sea would make him invulnerable when facing stronger enemies for a long time, or when battling entire armies, and this is the main reason why he kept it all those years without much of a change, was he wrong?

In the midst of the chaos, Sakaar took a deep breath and lowered his head, all his senses shut down, then: *Shhhh~* Most of what remained of the Sea of ??Blood returned to his body.

"Haha, that monster can't take it anymore, kill him!!" The general laughed out loud and joined the fight himself

For the first time since the attack began, the space portal was revealed and the soldiers' attacks began to descend upon it, if it weren't for the Sea of ??Blood still present and Sakaar using his soul sense to make the Blood Sea ??repel the martial emperors' attacks, the space portal would have been leveled to the ground...

*Rumble* *Rumble*

"What..?!" General Therin's eyes trembled slightly, a tremendous pressure began to gather around Sakaar's body at this moment, any attack approaching him would swerve away as if it was afraid to touch his body

*Ba-dum* *Ba-dum*

"This aura... No, impossible!" The general stopped his attack and followed Sakaar's ethereal movements and his aura that was still rising, "Did he break through? But he was already as strong as a Marshal!!"

"Hmph!" Sakaar regained his senses and shook his body, the space around him shaking slightly, he had broken through to a level 49 Demon Emperor!!

"Damn it… That won't change anything!" General Therin bit his fangs, "Don't stop! A single-level difference won't make any difference!!"

*Baam* *Baam* *Baam*

Sakaar spread both hands like he wanted to encompass the worlds, and spoke with a quiet yet hearable voice, "Underworld Daisy!!"
