Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 425 Draconic Clan And Its Allies Retreat

On another flank, the Megalodon, a colossal sea beast, clashed with the Crimson Headed Ants, their formidable pincers snapping in a fierce struggle for dominance. "Hold fast! The Crimson Headed Ants are weakening!" called out a disciple from the Celestial Moon Sect, seizing the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive.

The Celestial Harmony Domain, one of the Heavenly Court's powerful Domains, resonated across the battlefield.

"Feel the harmonies of the heavens!" exclaimed the Immortal Realm expert, creating a momentary pause in the Draconic Clan's advance. The Celestial Moon Sect Mistress seized the opportunity, invoking the Lunar Cascade to ensnare the Jade Scorpions in a cascade of moonlit illusions.

Meanwhile, the White Whale unleashed torrents of water that clashed against the Ice Phoenixes, creating a swirling maelstrom that obscured their vision. "Their aerial advantage is compromised! Now's our chance!" declared Wang Hao, directing his faction to focus their attacks on the disoriented Ice Phoenixes.

In the heart of the battle, the Prince of the Draconic Clan, sensing the shifting tides, roared with draconic fervor.

"They dare challenge the might of the Ascendant Draconic Clan! Unleash the Draconic Fury!" he commanded, infusing the battlefield with an overwhelming surge of draconic power.

The Draconic Fury, a cataclysmic display of raw draconic might, pushed back against the alliance.

The Vermillion Birds and Golden Crows, their wings ablaze, executed the Crimson Sky Dance, countering the advances of the Celestial Moon Sect disciples.

"The Draconic Clan is formidable! We must endure!" urged the Sect Leader of Luminous Sun, his disciples invoking the Solar Radiance Cascade to dispel the draconic shadows that loomed over them.

As the clash reached its zenith, the realms witnessed a spectacle of elemental forces colliding. The Sea Monster Race's aquatic prowess, the Heavenly Court's celestial might, and the formidable techniques of the Three Sects converged in a symphony of chaos.

The battlefield, now a maelstrom of competing energies, marked a critical juncture in the ongoing struggle for supremacy.

As the relentless battle raged on, the toll on the Draconic Clan and their allied Ancient Beast Races became increasingly apparent. The once formidable fighters, their scales gleaming with draconic power, now exhibited signs of fatigue. The extended confrontation against the united front of the Three Sects of the Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary, the Heavenly Court's Immortal Realm experts, and Wang Hao's faction had pushed them to their limits.

Conversely, the alliance of the Three Sects and the Heavenly Court, supported by Wang Hao's faction, remained relatively fresh. The Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary's Spirit, a wellspring of profound energy, continued to empower them, enhancing their abilities while simultaneously suppressing the Draconic Clan's attacks. The celestial energies flowed through the allies, rejuvenating their strength and resilience.

The Prince of the Draconic Clan, surveying the battlefield with a discerning eye, recognized the signs of fatigue among his forces. Although his own draconic power allowed him to endure, he foresaw the potential catastrophic losses his side would face if the battle persisted.

Sensing the critical state of affairs, the Prince made a strategic decision.

"All forces, retreat!" he declared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. It was a signal for the Draconic Clan and their allied Ancient Beast Races to disengage from the relentless conflict.

However, before the retreat could fully commence, the Draconic Clan, in a desperate gambit, unleashed their ultimate attack – the Draconic Nova Cataclysm. The very air crackled with draconic energy as a cataclysmic surge of power radiated from the Draconic Clan's forces.

Simultaneously, the allied Ancient Beast Races launched their own devastating assaults.

The Jade Scorpions released the Venomous Storm, a torrent of deadly venom that threatened to engulf the battlefield.

The Crimson Headed Ants unleashed the Scarlet Tide, a relentless surge of crimson energy that swept across the opposing forces.

The Ice Phoenixes conjured the Frostfire Blizzard, combining icy gusts with scorching flames.

In response, the Three Sects of the Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary, the Heavenly Court's experts, and Wang Hao's faction executed a coordinated defensive maneuver.

The Sect Leader of Luminous Sun invoked the Solar Shield, a radiant barrier that absorbed and refracted the draconic energies.

The Celestial Moon Sect Mistress employed the Lunar Sanctuary, a moonlit haven that countered the Venomous Storm's corrosive effects.

Wang Hao, tapping into the sea's elemental forces, summoned the Aqua Ward, a protective barrier that mitigated the Scarlet Tide's impact.

The Immortal Realm experts of the Heavenly Court invoked the Celestial Ward, a celestial forcefield that resisted the Frostfire Blizzard's chilling and scorching extremes.

As the battlefield became a chaotic symphony of clashing energies and defensive maneuvers, the Draconic Clan and the Ancient Beast Races seized the opportunity to initiate their retreat.

The celestial energies surged, and a momentary lull settled over the battlefield as the Draconic Clan and their allies withdrew to the safety of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion.

Amidst the uneasy calm that settled over the realms, the aftermath of the grand clash between the alliance and the Draconic Clan hung in the air like a heavy mist. While the alliance of the Three Sects of the Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary, the Heavenly Court's Immortal Realm experts, and Wang Hao's faction had managed to repel the Draconic Clan's onslaught, the prevailing sentiment among the allied forces was far from triumphant.

The realization that, even with their combined might, they had failed to defeat the Draconic Clan and the Ancient Beast Race cast a shadow over the victorious front. The outcome, in essence, could be considered a loss, leaving the factions with a bitter taste of unfulfilled objectives.

Wang Hao, the inheritor of the God of War, had yet to unleash his true prowess during the battle. His role had been that of an observer, specifically focused on studying the Prince of the Draconic Clan. As the aftermath settled, Wang Hao, with a thoughtful expression, initiated a conversation with the War God spirit within him.

'Well, that didn't go as expected,' Wang Hao mused, his thoughts resonating with the War God spirit. 'The Prince of the Draconic Clan is more formidable than I anticipated.'

The War God spirit, a repository of ancient wisdom and martial prowess, responded within Wang Hao's consciousness.

'Indeed. He is much more powerful and dangerous to us than I expected. His power is not just in raw strength but in the intricacies of draconic techniques and ancient bloodlines. We must tread carefully.'

Wang Hao nodded inwardly, acknowledging the wisdom of the War God spirit.

'You are right.'

As Wang Hao contemplated the wisdom imparted by the War God spirit, he cast a discerning gaze toward the fading remnants of the celestial clash. The dissatisfaction among the factions lingered, but an undercurrent of determination simmered beneath the surface. The realms had tasted the turbulence of battle, and the struggle for supremacy continued to unfold, shrouded in the uncertain aftermath of the recent conflict.

In the aftermath of the retreat, the leaders of the Ancient Beast Race gathered around the Prince of the Draconic Clan, their expressions a mix of agitation and frustration. They questioned the prince's decision to pull back, demanding an explanation for what they perceived as a premature retreat.

"Why did you order us to retreat, Prince? We were on the verge of victory!" growled one of the leaders, a formidable Ancient Beast with scales like obsidian.

The Prince of the Draconic Clan, however, remained composed amidst the rising dissent. His eyes, bearing the weight of ancient wisdom, scanned the assembly of agitated leaders. With a measured voice, he began to address their concerns.

"Calm yourselves. This retreat was necessary to avoid an even greater calamity. If we had persisted in the battle, exhausted and worn, the Heavenly Court would have activated teleportation arrays to summon reinforcements. Our weariness would have been our undoing," explained the Prince, his gaze unwavering.

The leaders exchanged uncertain glances, still discontent with the notion of withdrawal. Another leader, a massive creature with the features of a Great Earthworm, voiced the prevailing frustration. "Reinforcements or not, we could have taken them down! Our might is unmatched!"

The Prince's response held a somber truth. "It is precisely that arrogance that led to our downfall in the ancient era. The human race, united and strategic, overcame us because we underestimated them. I will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Caution and strategic withdrawal are the keys to our survival."

He continued, "We must bide our time, strengthen our forces, and strike when the opportunity is ripe. Blindly charging forward will only lead to our demise. I intend to learn from history, not repeat its errors."

The leaders, though still discontent, began to grasp the Prince's strategic foresight. The echoes of their ancient defeat lingered, a reminder of the consequences of unchecked arrogance. The Prince's calm demeanor and measured words instilled a sense of caution among the leaders, redirecting their anger into a contemplative silence.

Amidst the lingering tension, an Ice Phoenix, its azure feathers glistening like frost, stepped forward with a question on its beak. "What's our next move, Prince? We can't simply withdraw without a plan."

The Prince of the Draconic Clan regarded the Ice Phoenix with a steady gaze, acknowledging the need for direction. "Our next move is to find the Elemental Sparks," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of determination.

"Elemental Sparks?" queried another leader, a massive creature with the countenance of an Ancient Sabertooth Tiger.

The Prince nodded. "Yes, Elemental Sparks. These are ancient sources of elemental power scattered throughout the realms. We shall seek them out and harness their energies to strengthen our abilities. In doing so, we shall become more formidable than ever."

The leaders exchanged glances, absorbing the Prince's strategy. The notion of Elemental Sparks resonated with the essence of their elemental nature. The prospect of augmenting their powers invigorated the spirits of the Ancient Beast Races.

"Where do we find these Elemental Sparks?" inquired a Seven-Tailed Silver Fox, its eyes gleaming with curiosity.

The Prince, with a slight smile, responded, "They are scattered across the realms, hidden in places where the elemental forces converge. We shall embark on a quest to discover and claim them. In the meantime, we will strengthen our unity and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead."

As the leaders of the Ancient Beast Races absorbed the Prince's plan, a sense of purpose began to permeate the air. The quest for Elemental Sparks would not only enhance their individual strengths but also fortify the collective might of the Draconic Clan and their allies.
