Thinking that Hurricane might invade the Mist Battlefield at any moment, he didn’t have much time to think of a strategy and decided to face Kraken head-on to find a flaw during the battle.
Although Angel had decided to intervene directly, he still needed to find the right timing, aiming to maximize the current advantage.
Soon, Angel found the opportunity.
At this moment, the Illusion had reached the edge of the battlefield, with no wind creatures around. Fighting Kraken, a wind creature with such extraordinary talent here, was the best option. Thus, Angel began to slow down the Illusion’s speed.
Seeing the Illusion’s speed weaken, Kraken assumed it was exhausted and took a deep breath, spitting out a vast gas ring. Kraken’s speed instantly increased several times.
At this moment, just after releasing the gas ring, Kraken showed a brief pause.
Angel’s eyes lit up, seizing this opportunity, he rushed forward without hesitation...
After a roar of thunder, Angel’s figure retreated several hundred meters.
Indeed, he saw a gap in Kraken’s gas rings, but the gap was very short. Even though he went full throttle to get close, before he could approach Kraken, a new wave of gas rings appeared, forcing him to retreat.
This attack of Angel also caught Kraken’s attention.
It suddenly turned its head and saw Angel standing tall on the clouds at a distance. It was dumbfounded for a moment, looked back at the previous direction, and the Illusion was still there.
Two Angels appeared?
Although Kraken was confused, it made a "huh——" sound, and realized the opportunity was rare, so it began to manipulate hundreds of tentacles below its gas bladder, attacking Angel.
After several entangled rounds, Angel retreated a few dozen meters again.
Not that he was injured, but because he discovered that Kraken’s tentacles could also release gas rings, with each tentacle capable of releasing over ten gas rings, and with hundreds of tentacles attacking together, the number of gas rings was terrifying.
The most important thing is that although these gas rings affect each other, they have no effect on Kraken’s body.
Even if the gas rings collide, causing a huge explosion in front of Kraken, it remains unscathed. In contrast, Angel, upon seeing so many gas rings appear, almost covering every angle, had no choice but to retreat.
Angel exhaled a long breath as he looked at Kraken engulfed by countless gas rings in the distance.
The giant squid might not be bright, but its talent is terrifying.
If Angel were to summarize and evaluate the three major wind commanders, Lobal is like a walking cannon for point damage most terrifying; Chimera is an attribute cannon, which may not be continuously released but is effective in specific scenarios; whereas Kraken is a sweeping cannon, launching group attacks at all times, though its point strength is average, it’s the best tool for sweeping.
Faced with this kind of enemy, perhaps bloodline wizards might find it relatively simpler, because although the gas rings are powerful, a bloodline wizard with bloodline abilities might not be injured.
"If Toby were here, dealing with Kraken would certainly be much easier than for me," Angel sighed to himself.
Toby could transform into a Gryphon, which has a tough hide, allowing it to ignore the gas rings. However, facing the gas rings, Angel would get injured even if not severely hurt.
As Angel dodged the attacks, he pondered how to handle Kraken.
However, at this moment, he received a second mind message from Earl Mi.
Hurricane sent several strands of wind to the Mist Battlefield trying to contact the wind creatures there, seemingly to inquire about the situation. Yet, there was no response at all.
Hurricane started becoming anxious, and during the battle with Earl Mi, its attention on him decreased significantly, focusing more frequently on the Mist Battlefield.
Earl Mi estimated that Hurricane might have already decided to storm the Mist Battlefield.
Angel knew that Earl Mi’s mind messages wouldn’t be in vain; he must have realized that it might be impossible to stop Hurricane, hence issuing this final warning to Angel.
This meant he didn’t have much time left.
Angel took a deep breath: "It seems I have no other choice."
After making the decision, Angel raised his head, looked at the enormous Kraken, and dashed directly towards it.
Seeing this, Kraken immediately released a massive gas ring. Angel, facing the encirclement of gas rings, did not retreat as before but continued to dodge while rushing towards Kraken.
Currently, there was still some distance to Kraken, allowing him to dodge the gas rings. However, as he got closer, dodging became increasingly difficult, and upon reaching within a hundred meters, the gas rings released by the tentacles combined with those released from the gas bladder formed an invincible net to trap Angel completely.
Yet, despite this, he did not back away.
Initially, Angel contemplated using a more specific method to find Kraken’s weakness or gap, controlling it while dodging the gas rings. Such a method surely existed, and Angel was confident he could figure it out.
However, time was too tight, and if Hurricane really crashed into the Mist Battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, Angel decided to confront Kraken head-on, come what may.
Even if he got wounded from the inability to dodge the gas rings, as long as it wasn’t a severe injury, there would always be a way to recover.
The actual situation was much like Angel thought. While a bit farther from Kraken, he had the means to dodge the gas rings, yet as he got closer, they became increasingly difficult to avoid.
Despite exerting full effort to dodge in a small range, he was eventually struck by a ring of wind, tearing his right shoulder’s clothing, leaving his shoulder red.
Seeing Angel injured, Kraken naturally grew more excited, releasing even more gas rings.
Initially, Angel was indeed struck by a few gas rings.
However, as time passed, Kraken noticed that Angel’s chances of getting hit by the gas rings decreased, and although Angel was moving closer rather than away.
The closer he got, the easier it should have been to hit him with the rings.
While Kraken was puzzled, it didn’t notice that meanwhile, around Angel, the energy field was changing...
