Chapter 1027 Deadly Sunbeams
"Can we beat those things? They are tenfold bigger than the Paragon-level Whitebone Fiends we fought earlier. God knows how strong they are now," Goldblazer said with concern.
Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis also felt concerned by the ten Cruel Angels. Even Cindertail was not an exception.
"Surely, they are still within the realms of Transcendents, right?" another Paragon-level Golden Suanni hoped.
Even if the Cruel Angels were still within the realms of Paragons, Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis were confident in defeating the Cruel Angels.
However, if the Cruel Angels had already reached the level of Celestials, they could only flee for their lives.
Although Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis wanted to believe that they still had a chance at defeating the Cruel Angels, the reality is that the Cruel Angels' aura had already exceeded Peak Paragons.
The Cruel Angels were at least Half-step Celestials, if not full-fledged Celestials!
"Everyone, prepare for battle! Those white monsters are about to attack!" Cindertail alerted everyone after witnessing one of the Cruel Angels raising one of their hands and pointing down at the Paragon-level Golden Suannis.
Leon quickly frowned when none of the Cruel Angels' attention was on him.
It was clear that his bottomless appetite for Wrathful Demon Energy had caused the Cruel Angels to descend and check out what was going on with all the Wrathful Demon Energy.
However, their attention was quickly fixed on the Golden Suanni Clan instead of him after they descended.
"What's it trying to do?" Cindertail narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Cruel Angel's finger that was pointed directly at them.
Nothing seemed to be happening.
However, that was because the Cruel Angel's attack took time to arrive. As Cindertail and the rest of the Paragon-level Golden Suanni waited warily, they suddenly picked up a threatening sense of danger.
Boom!
A concentrated beam of sunlight descended from the heavens, striking the ground roughly a mile away from Cindertail's position.
The raw power and heat of the sunbeam melted right through the ground and continued into the abyss below.
However, the sunbeam attack didn't end there.
"Dodge, everyone!" Cindertail shouted with alarm the moment he noticed the sunbeam moved towards them.
Zing—!
Cindertails and all the Paragon-level Golden Suannis in the area immediately evaded as the sunbeam cleaved its way up the eastern slope, splitting everything in half.
As the sunbeam moved upwards, it gradually dispersed into the sky.
"S-such power…!" Goldblazer glanced at the long scar left by the sunbeam. Everything was cleanly sliced apart by the powerful sunbeam.
"Fortunately, everyone managed to evade the attack—No! The sunbeam passed through the jungle as well! Are our lionesses and cubs alright?!"
Dawnchaser's short relief was quickly replaced by concern for his family hiding away in the nearby jungle.
"Everyone, watch out! More attacks are coming!" Cindertail shouted.
At that instance, it wasn't just a single Cruel Angel attacking; all ten Cruel Angels raised their arms and directed their fingers at Cindertail and the others.
Everyone immediately expected another ten such sunbeams to be coming their way.
At the same time, Leon scrutinized the Cruel Angels' pointed fingers with a frown.
It didn't look like the Cruel Angels weren't targeting anyone in specific at first glance. But upon more careful observation, the Cruel Angels indeed had a specific target in mind.
They were all targeting Cindertail.
Cindertail also realized he was the target before he decided to break away from the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis.
"Where are you going, Supreme Leader?" Dawnchaser quickly voiced his surprise.
"Away from all of you! I am their target, so I have to move a place away from everyone else!" Cindertail shouted on the move.
Nevertheless, there was nowhere to go except towards the center of Gran Crevasse as the members of the Golden Suanni Clan could be found all around the outskirts and within the jungle further out.
"We need to do something! We can't let the Supreme Leader fend for himself!" Goldenstride firmly said.
He had no intention of letting a member with such pure bloodline, the likes of which hadn't been seen in thousands of years, die here in their generation.
For the prosperity of the Golden Suanni Clan, Goldenstride would do everything he could to ensure Cindertail's safety.
Shortly after Goldenstride spoke, he glanced around before spotting a broken branch on the ground.
He immediately grabbed it with his fangs and hurled it up at the Cruel Angels in the sky to catch their attention in the next instance.
Zing—!
Ten sunbeams eventually descended on the land before one of the Cruel Angels was struck in the head by the Goldenstride's tree branch.
Skreee!
The Cruel Angel made a screeching howl before directing its sunbeam towards Goldenstride.
Swoosh~!
"I will be going ahead!" Goldenstride quickly broke away from the group as he was chased by one of the ten deadly sunbeams.
Even so, Goldenstride wasn't satisfied with only one Cruel Angel.
He grabbed several tree branches of various sizes and hurled them up at the other Cruel Angels before he succeeded in reducing the burden on Cindertail by half.
Nevertheless, the ten sunbeams devastated Gran Crevasse with numerous scars as they chased Goldenstride and Cindertail.
Before long, large pieces of land were cut off from Gran Crevasse and dropped into the abyss, significantly increasing the abyss opening.
But even with the sunlight illuminating the enlargened abyss opening, the bottom of the abyss could not be seen.
Goldenstride and Cindertail nearly fell into the abyss as the ground collapsed, but they managed to escape by leaping through falling debris to falling debris with their nimble bodies.
"We should help them too!" Goldblazer stated.
"No! It'll be too chaotic if any more of us join them! Two of them are enough to keep those monsters busy for a while!" Dawnchaser rejected before saying, "We need to evacuate the clan members further away from this region. They are not safe here!"
"L-lord Dawnchaser! Take a look at the scorched plants near the scars made by the sunbeam!"
A Paragon-level Golden Suanni suddenly directed everyone's gaze towards the jungle plants on the eastern side of Gran Crevasse's outskirts.
