At this moment, the situation reversed once again.
Elder Pude, piloting the Aether Armor, might not have been as powerful as Viscount Grant in his own Aether Armor, but holding back the Giant Eel would not be a problem.
In contrast, the Origin Matter circuits coursing through Viscount Grant's entire body now flowed like water, and even the Abyssal Condensation Crystal had begun to gleam. Having entered a state of utterly full power... Viscount Grant was probably even stronger than Patrick wearing the Aether Armor sub-unit.
At this very moment, in the Southern Ridge, beneath stormy skies, the Abyssal Lizardwhale in the sea... was invincible!
Combat power that had slightly surpassed the peak of the Second Energy Level had instantly split into one Second Energy Level combatant and one at the peak of the Second Energy Level.
Against the two Surging Tide Giant Eels and Patrick, this distribution of strength was just right!
At this point, Ian could basically lie flat and wait—it was likely that while Elder Pude piloted the Aether Armor to entangle the Surging Tide Giant Eel, Viscount Grant would blast Patrick down. This grand internal struggle of the Ellen Family would come to an end with the beginning of the South Sea Anomaly.
Moreover, the Silver Chip told him that a powerhouse around the peak of the Second Energy Level was also moving in the direction of Harrison Port... That was Bishop White Mist, who had stayed behind for Viscount Grant and to protect Harrison Port.
Originally, his task had been to guard the port when Viscount Grant set out, preventing the natives and other Magic Beasts from raiding their home while they attacked another... But now that the natives had come out in full force, this bishop of Light's Embrace surely would not stand by
