Just as the Ghost Pirate Gang's main fleet headed off to deal with the Debt Collection Alliance, the distance between the Kalon Legion and the Lone Battleship was also shrinking rapidly.
"Prepare to charge the World King Cannon. First shot, three times the standard energy compression ratio. Test fire!" Nie Yun ordered.
Hum! Countless motes of light gathered at the battleship's main cannon muzzle. Even its mithril barrel began to glow faintly red under the immense surge of energy.
Five seconds later, a brilliant white beam carrying astonishing quantities of energetic particles shot toward the Kalon Beast at the legion's core, aiming directly at Kalon's main body!
Everyone watching closely from the sidelines was startled.
None of them had expected the Ghost Pirate Gang's flagship, which seemed to be courting death, to attack first.
"Warning! Warning! Level-seven high-energy weapon attack detected. Estimated time to impact: seven seconds!"
"What?!" Kalon's pupils contracted as the High-Energy Warning Radar blared its piercing alarm.
His forces had yet to enter firing range, and the enemy had already opened fire? And its energy level was an outrageous seven?
Could this seemingly small flagship have a Fortress Cannon installed aboard it?
Although startled by the firepower of the Ghost Pirate Gang's flagship, Kalon reacted without the slightest delay.
Layers of dense, bony carapace, each over five hundred centimeters thick and as strong as superalloy, rose like fish scales, forming shieldlike barriers in front of Kalon.
Not only that, but large quantities of red liquid began pouring from the pores surrounding Kalon's body.
Within moments, the liquid rapidly solidified in the low temperature, completely encasing Kalon's body like amber.
Leviathan now looked as though a red crystal had been embedded in its forehead.
This was how the Kalon Beast defended against attacks... by taking them head-on!
Boom!
