Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 215 The fate of the nation rests on the line; all forces are mobilized, with the ultimate goal being the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor!

The invisible blades of space ignored defenses and struck their bodies directly.

There were no earth-shattering explosions, no lengthy magical battles.

There were only a few extremely brief, abruptly stopped muffled groans, and the intense fragments of holy light that instantly spread through the seawater, compressed and then released in a flash, along with... the stench of blood.

Inside the spatial cage, it was as if a momentary and complete spatial collapse and tearing had occurred.

The light faded, and the seawater resumed its flow.

The sea was completely empty, without even a trace of wreckage or a piece of clothing left behind.

Two Arbiters, each capable of stirring up a storm in the human world, and their elite squads were thus strangled by the Silverwing Ant Queen.

The magic powers of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom obey military orders.

At this moment, all the forces scattered across the four islands—wounded mage legions, surviving fleets, and terrified civilians—crowded and converged here.

Tokyo Bay, the heart of the country, became the final battlefield.

The air was heavy in a command post behind the port area, which had been temporarily reinforced and filled with defensive magic.

This place is where the last and most powerful force of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom gathers—the few remaining forbidden spellcasters.

On the huge magical projection in the center of the command room, Kyushu was clearly displayed. The four kingdoms had been completely submerged, and the tide was pressing towards Honshu.

"Lord Abe Kiyogen... has been suppressed by the Siren Emperor." A hoarse voice broke the silence.

The speaker was an elderly man with white hair and beard, Fujiwara Hiroki, whose voice was filled with undisguised grief and heaviness.

Abe Kiyogen, the strongest fire-type forbidden spell mage in the Sakura Kingdom, and also has a close relationship with him.

A female mage, Jinguji Aya, dressed in a deep blue water-themed robe and with a beautiful face but covered in frost, suddenly clenched her fists.

She had only recently broken the forbidden spell, and Abe Kiyogen was considered her half-teacher.

"At present, there are only two emperors who are truly in control of this devastating flood!" Another burly man, Ryunosuke Akasaka, had no time to grieve and immediately analyzed the situation on the field.

His expression turned grave: "That behemoth in the deep sea—the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast—is what controls the ocean! And that one in the sky is the Emperor of Space!"

A glint of light flashed in Fujiwara Hiroki's cloudy eyes: "Akasaka-kun is right. The sea monster army may be large, but they are just henchmen. The core lies in these two emperors! Especially the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor, it is the source of the tides, the engine of destruction! As long as we kill it, there is hope that the raging tides will stop! The threat of the sea monsters can be at least largely eliminated!"

"To kill them together?" Jinguji Aya frowned, her gaze sweeping over the several forbidden spell mages present.

"If we, along with the few of us and all the high-level mages we can mobilize on the periphery, give it our all, perhaps... we have a chance?"

"We must have a chance!" Ryunosuke Akasaka roared. "This is our only way! Concentrate all our forces and blast that deep-sea monster to pieces!"

Heavy footsteps came from the entrance to the command room.

Commander Ito Musashi walked in, dressed in a crisp military uniform.

His face looked even more haggard than before, and his arrival instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Distinguished masters."

"Master Fujiwara's judgment is the will of the military! We must concentrate all our forbidden spell power, with only one target—the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor! We must spare no effort to slay him in the waters off Tokyo Bay!" He walked to the projection and pointed heavily at the huge shadow representing the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor.

“Commander,” Aya Jinguji looked at him, a hint of worry in her eyes, “What about the Silverwing Ant Queen in the sky? Her spatial powers are unpredictable and extremely threatening. If she interferes or even launches a sneak attack while we are fully focused on attacking the Deep Sea Emperor…”

Musashi Ito suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if staring directly at the cold figure in the sky: "Leave her to me to keep an eye on!" Upon hearing this, even Hiroki Fujiwara showed a look of astonishment.

Ito Musashi is the strongest mage in their Sakura Kingdom, and his personal combat power has reached its peak. But what if he faces an emperor who can easily annihilate the Holy Arbiter and control the origin of space?

"Commander!" Akasaka Ryunosuke exclaimed urgently, "This is too dangerous! You..."

"There's no time to hesitate!" Ito Musashi interrupted him rudely, his voice resolute.

"This is the only viable tactic! The Deep Sea Emperor is the source of physical destruction and must be eliminated as a priority!"

"The Silverwing Ant Queen... her threat lies in her unpredictable spatial manipulation and sealing. I will do everything in my power to disrupt her spatial locking! I don't seek to defeat her, I only seek to interfere with her actions when she makes a move!"

"My life is the last wall of Tokyo Bay! You only need to remember your mission—to slay the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast!"

Faced with this situation, this was the only choice they had.

Looking into the commander's eyes with such determination, they felt the weighty trust placed in him, a trust that was a matter of life and death.

Fujiwara Hiroki took a deep breath. "Understood, Commander. Give us the Deep Sea Explosion!"

"I'll stake my life on it, Ryunosuke Akasaka," the burly man growled.

Jinguji Aya looked deeply at Ito Musashi, her eyes filled with complex emotions, which ultimately turned into unwavering determination: "We will do everything in our power!"

“Okay!” Ito Musashi nodded emphatically.

"Proceed to the designated positions immediately! The outer defenses won't hold for long. Remember, our time has been bought with blood and lives!"

"We must take him down before the tide invades Tokyo Bay, or everything will be over."

The three forbidden spellcasters said no more, turned around and strode out of the command room.

They stood on the front line of Tokyo Bay.

This is no longer a solid dam, but a temporary barrier constructed by countless mages using earth and ice magic.

Beneath my feet, the icy, bone-chilling seawater was crashing and eroding wildly, making a "crackling" sound like a giant beast gnawing and a heart-palpitating "whimpering" sound.

Each impact caused the barrier to tremble violently, with ice chips and soil falling in a flurry.

Hiroki Fujiwara, Aya Jinguji, and Ryunosuke Akasaka stand side by side.

Several other high-level mages with solemn expressions followed behind them. They were responsible for clearing the way, as forbidden spell mages needed to gather their power to deal with the emperor and could not reveal themselves too early.

So the siren they encountered earlier was dealt with by these few people.

Their gazes pierced through the churning, dark green seawater, fixed on the enormous, despair-inducing shadow deep in the distant ocean—the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor.

Every tiny movement it made stirred up giant waves thousands of meters high, carrying countless ferocious sea monsters, like a boiling tide of death, surging towards the last line of defense in Tokyo Bay!

The Battle of Tokyo, the final decision that would determine the survival of Japan and millions of lives, has begun its bloodiest prelude.

The nation's greatest power is poured into the distant sea monster emperor.

Life and death, survival and extinction, all depend on this battle!
