In the next moment, the heavily-injured hero fish returned back among its brothers where a couple of friendly fish promptly brought their comrade away for treatment.
"There's another big fish among the defenders!"
The Dark Zephyr recorded the most powerful phasewater activity to date in a fish-whale that possessed glittering silver scales.
If the Dark Zephyr's sensors weren't wrong, the silver fish-whale's entire body was laced with phasewater!
There was so much phasewater in this remarkable fish-whale's body that it could probably power the warp drive of a capital ship!
"Where are these monsters getting all of their phasewater?!"
The power at the silver fish-whale's disposal exceeded that of the warp fishes belonging to the Swarm Kingdom.
Whereas the warp fishes were only able to attack distant targets by disturbing the fabric of space, the silver fish-whale unleashed a veritable spatial storm!
Hundreds of grunt fishes and several elite fishes tore apart as the space they occupied seemed to fracture for a moment!
Although the effect only lasted a brief amount of time, the outcome was absolutely devastating!
The Swarmer offensive temporarily stalled as thousands of surrounding grunt fishes rabidly turned their attention to the separated body parts and ate as much available flesh as possible!
While this happened, the remaining defenders weren't idle. Those with ranged attack capabilities continually used their means to damage the aggressive invaders.
One fish-whale generated spikes from its back and subsequently launched them at the distant swarm.
Though a single spike was unlikely to take out a grunt fish, as long as it succeeded in making a creature bleed, the victim would soon turn into food for its own brethren.
This was yet another sign that the individualistic fish-whales developed targeted solutions against the Swarmers!
After slaughtering thousands and thousands of Swarmers, the invading force finally reached the surface of the asteroid.
The fighting turned a lot bloodier at this point. The defenders employed many amazing and effective means to slaughter a multitude of grunt fishes, but a few of them started to get overwhelmed as the elites among the Swarmers ganged up on their targets!
The silver fish-whale unscrupulously made use of its phasewater abilities and destroyed hundreds of Swarmers at a time by unleashing deadly, wide-area space storms that none of its opponents could resist!
Another fish-whale with hard, maroon scales breathed fire that was hot enough to burn the grunt fishes that came into contact with the flames.
By relying on all of these wide-area attack capabilities, the Swarmers were quickly being cut down to size.
"It's not enough, though."
The attackers were simply too numerous. Hundreds of bodies were ready to fill in the void left by their brethren and more were ready to follow suit at any time!
Just as Tusa thought the Swarmers were able to break through the defensive line of their opposition, a fish-whale that was larger and more majestic than any other fish emerged from one of the large and more intact buildings.
The newcomer possessed a body that was as large as a small starship and exuded much more power than usual. The creature's rippling azure scales and remarkably bright eyes indicated that it had incorporated much more remarkable enhancements than its smaller comrades.
As soon as the giant fish-whale emerged, the Swarmers finally slowed down their offensive. Their fear and vigilance towards this super enemy was greater than their instinctual urges!
The giant fish-whale slowly opened its maw and began to unleash a wide energy blast that wiped out at least a third of the attacking force at once!
"What?!" Tusa reacted with much more shock than before!
The power exhibited by this giant fish-whale vastly exceeded that of everything else he had encountered before!
Not even the Bolvos Rage was able to wipe out thousands of Swarmers with a single salvo of attacks!
The only enemy in his memory that possessed a comparable amount of combat power was one that still evoked a lot of dread in his mind.
"This… fish-whale king… has the power of an ace mech!"
