Chapter 932: 932. Creature
Noah wasn't surprised that the members of the Empire knew a lot about extinct and ancient creatures. Shandal had lived for so long that he had probably had the chance to study many different species that didn't manage to survive the passage of time.
Instead, what astonished him were the various features of the beast that didn't match the records concerning that species.
There weren't many pieces of information about Tyrannosaurus and their various kinds, but Noah was sure that they didn't have wings. Those two pairs of massive claws didn't match any legend.
Also, the fact that it radiated the aura of a quasi-rank 6 hybrid made that creature appear even more dangerous.
Noah and the others were already on the other side of the battlefield by then. They didn't know how fast the creature was, but they were quite confident that it wouldn't chase them so far away.
After all, the Wardens were there to defend the borders of the Empire. They had already shown that they wouldn't advance further because their task didn't concern any territory outside of its domain.
Still, they remained there, inside the shining magical beast that glanced at them with a challenging gaze.
Noah turned to look at the other higher-ups near him. He had to admit that he didn't know what to do in that situation, but his allies knew far more than him in battle formations.
His focus was on the cultivators in the solid stage of the fifth rank since their judgment was bound to be accurate.
Elder Julia, Elder Regina, and Andrew Elbas wore curious expressions as they inspected the blue beast. They felt that its power surpassed the limits of the fifth rank, but they were also sure that it couldn't compare even to the weakest rank 6 existence in the world.
The Tyrannosaurus seemed weaker than rank 6 magical beasts at the bottom of the lower tier, but it was stronger than any of them. The main question in their mind was whether it was stronger than all of them when fighting together.
The battle between the human troops continued to rage on the ground, and only some of those cultivators had the time to notice the massive blue figure that had appeared above them.
As for the heroic forces of the invaders, they remained still, waiting for the leaders of the three armies to decide if the battle formation was something that they could face.
The fact that there were only those heroic cultivators on the scene wasn't a case. The invading forces had gained more territories to manage in the new continent after the defeat of the Empire.
That forced many experts in the heroic ranks there to handle tasks that human cultivators couldn't even hope to face.
Yet, the three organizations could still deploy them in the war and deal with the consequences of their absence in those territories later. After all, the worst that could happen was the return of those areas to a wild state. That could lead to the destruction of structures built in the past years.
Of course, defeating the Wardens now could only benefit the invaders. Also, their temporary retreat would lead to many casualties in the human cultivators fighting on the ground, which was something that any organization always wanted to avoid, if possible.
That didn't mean that heroic cultivators had to risk their lives to save some human assets. Still, there were methods to test the power of the creature without overexposing themselves.
"A battle formation is inherently weaker than a real creature," Andrew said. "We might test its stability and see if it holds."
