The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Chapter 307 Division, Reunification

"Everyone, do not scatter. Our goal is to assist the Sword of Judgment and protect their right guard. Fight as we have in the past, in groups of three."

"Beep beep beep wave~"

Professor Ye's body vanished completely from the spot amidst a flash of golden light.

A golden beam of light shone forth, and when he reappeared, he was above a series of ships.

The gunfire illuminated the sea and sky, and a metallic storm continued to lash the surface of the sea.

Led by Zheng Weiguo, the members of the Sword of Judgment crossed the sea and arrived in front of the fleet, like a sharp knife piercing into the landing monster horde.

Zizzi~

Red electric snakes raged, like chains, passing through the back of one monster and spreading to more monsters.

Where lightning struck, a stench of burning filled the air, and monsters fell in droves.

With only one arm remaining, Li Feng maneuvered and moved nimbly, his sword leaving long, thin trails in its wake.

Every monster touched by the sword was decapitated.

In the Biyun gathering area, following closely behind the Sword of Judgment, Zhao Kai took the lead.

He roared, his already massive body swelled up again, his skin turned a deep iron gray, and the huge alloy battle axe in his hand grew in size at the same time, creating a heavy wind pressure when he swung it.

Like a rapidly falling meteorite, it leaped off the deck of a frigate and cleaved a monster rebuilt from a debris platform in two.

"Leave the left side to me!"

Ah Long spread his arms, his body enveloped in a misty haze of water vapor.

The seawater in front of him seemed to come alive, forming two swirling waterspouts that swept several fish monsters that were trying to sneak up on Zhao Kai from the side into the air, slamming them hard onto another smaller fragmented platform, breaking their bones and tendons.

Xu Ming guarded Zhao Kai's flank. He had no fancy abilities, relying entirely on his well-trained body and condensed black iron energy.

He studied under Jiang Yuan and also learned power generation techniques from the instructors of the Sword of Judgment.

The battle axe he wielded was simple yet powerful, each strike precisely targeting the monster's joints or vital points.

Although it lacks the domineering presence of other ability users who wreak havoc, its efficiency is still quite good.

With one swing of the axe, one or more monsters will be cleaved in two.

Lin Qianqian stood on a speedboat slightly behind, her hands clasped together, and a bright white light gathered in her palms.

Sometimes it transforms into a large white net, covering a group of flying monsters that try to spew acid, and then detonates it, blasting them into pieces.

Every now and then, several thin beams of white light would shoot out and enter the bodies of their comrades in front, giving Zhao Kai, Xu Ming and the others a boost of spirits and quickly replenishing their depleted spiritual energy.

Yu Na stood beside Lin Qianqian, her eyes closed, while the ghostly blue flames behind her grew increasingly solid.

Invisible mental shocks spread like ripples, and monsters that relied on sound waves or mental interference were often struck as soon as they opened their mouths, their movements stiffening, and then they were overwhelmed by the attacks of others.

On a nearly broken, charred platform.

A member of the Sword of Judgment was dragged into the deep sea after his ankle was entangled by a twisted octopus lurking in the mud.

Just as it was about to be swallowed up, suddenly, a golden streak of light flashed by.

Where the golden light passed, it dispersed into an extremely condensed, incandescent white ray.

With a soft "hiss," the incredibly tough tentacle was cut by the high temperature, broke off, and evaporated.

The rescued team members felt a sudden light in their eyes; the crisis was over.

"Thank you!" The team member covered his wound and solemnly thanked the person not far away.

Professor Ye's figure materialized not far away, and he nodded slightly: "Watch your step."

Before he finished speaking, another flash of golden light appeared, and he had already appeared at another battle site.

Several thin beams of light pierced the bodies of several winged, charred sea snakes.

shhhhhh!

Professor Ye transformed into golden light, leaping and bounding across the battlefield, greatly relieving the pressure on those engaged in combat.

Colonel Pang stood on a speedboat located directly in front of the 550-class battleship.

Instead of charging directly into the battlefield, he placed his hands on the surface of the sea.

Wave~

The already turbulent sea was suddenly affected by an invisible force, causing huge ripples to erupt and quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield.

All the monsters that were in the area seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and their movements became sluggish.

Meanwhile, the human ability users felt as light as a feather, making their attacks much smoother.

No matter where the warriors are, as long as they are within the range of the invisible force, when they encounter danger, a transparent shield will automatically condense in front of them to block the enemy's attack.

With everyone working in perfect harmony and under the cover of military artillery fire, the approaching monsters were quickly wiped out, and the charred fragments of the platform were blown to pieces.

Strangely, the remains of the slain monsters and the shattered platform fragments, after falling into the sea, did not sink to the bottom. Instead, they seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, began to wriggle in the seawater, and then came together.

Black fog rose violently.

Charred chunks of flesh, shattered bones, twisted metal and rock fragments—all sorts of jumbled things—formed at a visible speed into new monsters, joining the battle once more, to the astonishment of the onlookers!

"Can't these things be killed?" Zhao Kai roared as he cleaved open a newly formed, strange crab with more than a dozen pincers with an axe.

"No, their attack power has weakened, which means that cutting them down is effective."

Zheng Weiguo stretched out his only remaining arm, and a thick chain of lightning swept across, turning several newly formed fusion monsters into charred remains. More monsters then crawled up from the sea.

The battle on the sea was raging fiercely. Han Ning, hovering in the dark clouds in the sky, calmly surveyed the entire battlefield, especially the dozen or so fragmented platforms that were still floating on the sea and constantly spawning monsters.

The extremely powerful monsters they encountered in the deep sea before have never appeared.

He remained vigilant towards those guys.

Han Ning's gaze swept over each platform.

"Ok?"

His expression shifted, and he simultaneously locked onto several seemingly ordinary figures distributed across different platforms.

Their appearance is not much different from other monsters.

But from the occasional raised heads of these creatures, Han Ning saw their eyes—eyes that were black and crystalline.

This is exactly the same as the two humanoid monsters he killed in the deep sea.

Just as Han Ning locked onto them, those figures seemed to have also noticed the spying from above.

They all raised their heads at the same time, their black, crystalline eyes looking directly at the Starry Osprey in the dark clouds.

"Giggle, giggle~"

The monsters' heads rotated mechanically.

Then, a thick, inky black mist suddenly exploded around him, condensing into hundreds of sharp black arrows that tore through the air and shot straight toward Han Ning in the clouds.

The speed was so fast that the sonic boom it created resounded throughout the entire venue.

Chapter 308 Fierce Battle

Within the dark clouds, the pupils of the star-shaped eagle that Han Ning had transformed into reflected an increasingly dense barrage of black arrows.

The space around the arrow was slightly distorted, and even the light was faintly drawn into it, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.

What's even more troublesome is that these arrows aren't shooting blindly as they appear; they subtly block out all his space to dodge.

"As expected, there's a troublesome one hiding here."

Han Ning flapped his wings, and his body shone with a brilliant silver-black light.

Countless tiny spores fell from between the wings, silently merging into the surrounding humid air and the seawater below.

At the same time, his bird body darted and weaved continuously, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, narrowly escaping through the gaps in the arrow net.

The black arrow grazed past, tearing apart large swathes of dark clouds.

In that instant of dodging, through the faint senses transmitted back by the spores, Han Ning had already pinpointed the precise location of those special monsters.

Below, three monsters of different shapes detached from the platform and vanished abruptly.

When they reappeared, they had already formed a triangular shape, vaguely surrounding him.

To the left front is one, slender in shape, about three meters tall, resembling an elongated humanoid mantis, with all four limbs being sharp bone blades that gleam with an eerie light.

Each time its toes lightly touched the water's surface, not even a ripple was created; its movements were silent and its speed so fast that it left behind afterimages.

To the right front was an exceptionally large creature, nearly five meters tall, covered entirely in thick, charred bone armor, with messy, charred material stuck to its body. It looked like a large, square shrimp, with dents from missile bombardment remaining on its bone armor, making it extremely strange.

Its arms were deformed and swollen, and instead of hands, they ended up as two huge bone hammers. It floated on the sea surface, supported by a thick black mist, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The last one, hovering a little further away, was the closest to humanoid in shape, with a head that resembled a blooming, rotting chrysanthemum, and countless tentacle-like fleshy buds wriggling at the flower's center.

Instead of rushing forward, it raised an arm, its palm splitting open to reveal a slowly rotating dark red energy core, with destructive energy rapidly gathering within.

The three monsters were connected by their auras, and there was a faint black tide energy flowing and resonating between them.

"Disgusting……"

Han Ning's eyes flashed as he noticed the chrysanthemum monster furthest away, and he felt his sanity plummeting.

That chrysanthemum monster must have used a dead human as a body to sew together the remains of other marine creatures, which is quite bizarre.

"Kill the disgusting guy first!"

He launched the first attack, targeting the long-range turret that was charging up.

The Starry Osprey's wings whipped up a violent gust of air, transforming into a streak of silver lightning as it swooped down.

The moment he moved, the speed-type mantis monster moved as well.

Its figure blurred, appearing in Han Ning's sprint path as if by teleportation. Four bone blades tore through the air, weaving into a net of death blades, slashing towards Xing Cai'e's neck. The attack was cunning and ruthless, forcing Han Ning to flap his wings and rise high to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

In the brief moment that Han Ning was blocked, the defensive heavy hammer monster strode forward and stood in front of the ranged turret.

Its arms were crossed, its bone hammers protecting its front, and black light flowed on its bone armor.

At the same time, the dark red energy ball in the palm of the remote turret had expanded to the size of a washbasin, and a dazzling light shone from its core, about to explode.
