( Gurdan's POV )
With the crack of dawn Gurdan looked at the rising sun with a big smile on his face. He was standing near the edge of the glacier from where the river running through the Bloodfall territory originated and from here the Ocean Leviathans could begin their assault on the Bloodfall clan.
As the final vestiges of the Twilight Clan crumbled under the combined might of his forces and the orb of the Twilight clan was destroyed, the only thing left to do was to attack whatever was left of the Bloodfall clan.
Gurdan's piercing golden eyes tracked the path of the river originating from the mountain, carving its way through the dense heartland of the Bloodfall Clan as a sardonic smile traced his lips.
He could already envision the Bloodfall forces struggling intensely against the Greengale Phantoms and the Eagles when the new additional reinforcements would completely break their morale.
Patting the beautiful nereid god Natasha on the back, Gurdan said " Go- do your thing, drag them men to deep waters "
" Tch, Annoying " Natasha said as she flicked her hair over Gurdan's face and jumped into the cold water alongside the rest of her legion
Led by the enchanting Nereid god Natasha, the Ocean Leviathans swam down the river. Their bodies, built for sea warfare, moved through the freshwater river with a grace that belied their raw power. They were in foreign territory, but with their godly leader at the helm their morale was as high as ever.
A short 15 minutes swim later, which was aided by the downward currents of the river, the Ocean Leviathans were forced to pause when they encountered a dam-like structure ahead.
The dam, an ominous sentinel of the Bloodfall Clan hid beneath its surface countless traps and underwater mines, ready to rip apart any who dared to cross into Bloodfall territory.
As the Leviathans neared the dam, the first of the traps was triggered. A deafening explosion tore through the water, engulfing several of the Leviathans in a firestorm of death and destruction.
From atop the dam, the fourth legion of the Bloodfall Clan - a battalion of archers and long-ranged fighters - began their assault, unleashing a rain of arrows on the advancing Leviathans.
The fourth legion of the Bloodfall clan were ready and fully on alert against potential invaders and despite their commander not being physically present, the orders given to them were clear.
If any enemy dared approach the dam through the river, they were to open fire and give them everything they had got.
The nereids tried to counter, but the Bloodfall soldiers were everywhere from the top of the dam to the river banks and were pelting them with arrows on all sides.
Anyone who dared to peak above the surface was shot dead as the only safe-haven for them was underwater where the arrows were not as effective.
Amid the chaos, Natasha emerged. Her figure rose atop the dam, water swirling around her in a dazzling display of power.
She looked annoyed as she deflected thousands of arrows coming towards her and prepared to counterattack.
Her arms spread wide, she summoned a giant torrential wave of water which looked like a tsunami in the middle of the ocean.
Riding on top of the monstrous wave of water she had just summoned, she slammed into the dam which shattered under the sheer force, washing away the Bloodfall soldiers that stood atop it.
It was a spectacle of unmitigated power, a testament to the wrath of the leader of the Ocean Leviathans.
Her fellow nereids followed as with the dam broken they butchered all Bloodfall soldiers who had fallen into the waters while also using water magic to attack those near the shore.
An intense battle broke out with both sides suffering losses, but due to Natasha's personal presence on the battlefield the Bloodfall soldiers got the rough part of the deal as they were dying by the thousands every passing minute.

( Meanwhile on the central plains )
Max had called for all hands on deck to defeat Thalion.
The Archer god was now faced with the clone, DarkSorrow and Severus attacking him at close-range all at once while Max and Anna kept taking shots at him from range.
Through the sheer numbers game, the group managed to rapidly push back Thalion and drain his HP to a dangerous yellow level when Thalion hit the panic switch and shot an arrow towards the ground which exploded to create a massive tremor and shockwave which pushed everyone backwards giving him some breathing room.
Putting his bow against his forehead, Thalion pulled the bow-string backwards as far as possible even though there was no arrow loaded on it as he began chanting in ancient elven.
Divine essence swirled against the god as Max immediately shouted " ATTACK NOW- DON'T GIVE HIM A MOMENT'S RESPITE "
Max himself used earth manipulation and created a gaping hole from under Thalions feet hoping for him to fall into it and lose balance to break the spell but it was useless, Thalion kept floating in the air at the same spot that he stood when Max tried this cheap trick, whereas an invisible barrier repelled DarkSorrow, Severus and the clone's attempts to close in on him.
" Guys take cover, he's using the forbidden move death shot! " Anna eventually screamed as she warned the group about the attack that Thalion was trying to summon.
A pitch dark arrow magically manifested itself on Thalion's fully taught bow as the arrow exuded a corrosive aura of death.
Opening his eyes, Thalion looked straight into Max's eyes as he mouthed the words [ Death Shot ]
Releasing the arrow straight towards the sky Thalion waited as a mere second later it split into five parts and came down at meteoric speed towards the five warriors facing off against him.
If the death shot arrow only bruised one slightly then the corrosive aura of the attack would make sure that the person was dead within seconds from decay.
The only way to counter the move was to destroy it completely, however time was running out for Max to do so while he had five different arrows to neutralise.
