Chapter 951: Chapter 474: Encirclement, Mutation, and Devastation (Part 2)
Right now, it’s obviously the former.
He only swung one sword.
But upon this single sword strike was imbued almost all the damage he could unleash in an instant.
Stacking the inertia impact of [Teeth Hunting], [Vortex Slash], [Gravity Etching] which had been raised to master level, [Heavy Tide] which had only recently leveled up to Level 2, along with the inherent "15 Beheading Damage," "5% Chopping Damage," "10% Spiritual Damage" bonus from the Ash Fall Straight Sword itself...
One can only say that when such a sword strike came roaring down upon the head, Xia Nan couldn’t even observe the change in the expression on that pale face under the pink light.
Because, in the next moment, that round head was compressed and crushed by the burst of ochre force field energy, turning into a mass of shattered skull and red-white blood water fusion, then like a balloon filled with water, "pop" and exploded.
Target achieved!
Xia Nan showed no attachment to the battle, immediately withdrew, releasing [Teeth Hunting] to retreat.
Incidentally, he also pulled the nearby barbarian, taking him away from the original spot.
"Roar!!!"
The roar filled with pain and anger exploded like a sonic boom on the spot, even the water in the nearby pond rippled in waves.
Covered entirely with blood and water, the massive body, towering four meters high like a small mountain, stood there.
The Shark Beast roared fiercely, though the two human legs that grew from its body still hung loosely, yet on the side of its chest, where the human head once was, there was only a ghastly scarlet blood cavity left.
Xia Nan could see that at this moment, the Shark Beast’s dark, lifeless fish eyes held no sorrow or lamentation.
What filled them was only rage and venomous hatred, seemingly forming substantial flames.
The good news was that they no longer needed to worry about the opponent’s long-range attack capability, or it using such spiritual control magic again;
The bad news was that this fierce beast, under the adventurers’ heavy blows, had entered a truly berserk state.
However, unexpectedly, just like when the Shark Beast mimicked Lorin’s battle skills to use water to displace during battle before,
Even at this moment, the opponent seems to retain somewhat clear thinking ability.
Boom——
Stubby little legs suddenly exerted force, the massive tonnage and exaggerated instantaneous burst ability tread down a pit in the mud.
The vast body exploded with unmatched speed in an instant, disappearing at once from the original spot.
Engulfed in the air torn with wails, the strongly imposing figure did not choose Xia Nan or Lorin nearby, instead targeting Druid Hai Yin on the far battlefield outskirts!
This seemingly reckless demon seemed to have realized the key that led to its several disadvantaged situations, vowing to crush the fragile figure waving the magic wand from afar.
In response, Hai Yin appeared very calm, seeming to have been mentally prepared.
Emerald light suddenly emerged, gathering all over, center of gravity lowered, limbs rapidly sculpting under the glow.
Finally, along with a powerful wing flap, amid falling white feathers mixed with light specks, a Short-tailed Albatross flew high into the sky.
"Bang!"
The soaked burly figure leaped forcibly, arms stretched as far as possible, clasped hands fell just a foot short of the bird claw.
But after reaching the peak, still couldn’t resist being pulled back to the ground by gravity from below.
The Shark Beast opened its mouth wide, attempting to use its water jet capability again, trying to knock the soaring Short-tailed Albatross out of the sky.
Yet the opponent’s flickering and spiraling figure made it unable to hit no matter how, only able to stand on the ground, impotently furious.
Not giving up, without waiting for Xia Nan and the others to surround, the Shark Beast turned again towards Half-Orc Alton on the other side of the field.
That strange lute sound, accompanied the battle since the beginning, circling beside ears endlessly, making its mind increasingly restless, the Shark Beast could no longer endure.
Once again bending the knees, with explosive muscle power turning itself into a fish-shaped torpedo flying across the land, roaring towards the direction of the little fellow.
In response, typically positioned at the rear, Alton was also already prepared.
His delicate lute in his arms was deftly strummed by the half-orc’s fingers, emitting a piercing noise.
As if infusing certain special power in this noise, Alton’s body speed surged upward.
Quickly retreating, meanwhile strapping the lute onto the back, hands swiftly brushed across the waist, instantly grasping two equally exquisite small short daggers.
As a Minstrel, perhaps playing the lute to provide team buffs during peaceful times is the best way to utilize his abilities.
But when necessary, he also possesses a certain degree of near-combat ability.
Of course, he couldn’t just watch his teammates get attacked without doing anything.
Now, after Xia Nan’s sword, the Shark Beast was clearly seriously injured, with a wound on its side chest that continued to bleed, further aggravated by the lingering burning sensation from the Scale Fire Saber, making it difficult to heal.
The time for a decisive victory had come, and the experienced adventurers would never miss this opportunity.
"Whoosh..."
From the air above, the Short-tailed Albatross transformed by Druid Hai Yin flapped its wings, enveloped in a stream of green light that surged over the Shark Beast’s body, countless seaweed vines sprouting from its body surface and quickly being torn apart;
The giant axe shaped like an anchor had a red glow twining around its surface, descending amidst the barbarian’s roar, grazing the Shark Beast’s calf and slicing off a small piece of crimson flesh like chopping wood;
The furry long tail swayed through the air, stabbing continuously with the short sword in the fierce wind, leaving one blood hole after another on the Shark Beast’s muscular broad back;
The scimitar wrapped in orange-red flames, accompanied by the sparks "crackling" in the surrounding air, suddenly hacked at the position of the monster’s chest wound, further exacerbating its injuries while promptly replenishing the flame energy to inhibit the wound’s healing;
A small figure wielded a short dagger, dexterously weaving through the sporadically trembling lute melody, leaving a series of tiny cuts on the Shark Beast’s lower body;
The black Winter Wolf that originally hid in the shadows watching quietly also increased the frequency of its attacks, circling and pouncing, each bite tearing off a large chunk of flesh.
1v6.
At this moment, having gauged the enemy’s strength, the Vengeance Blade Squad no longer probed, entering an all-out state of siege and assault.
With the original human head possessing crowd control abilities completely destroyed, even with the exaggerated physique of the Shark Beast, facing such numerical disparity, it was temporarily difficult to cope.
Within a few breaths, its surface was stained into a ghastly monster drenched in blood due to the numerous wounds on its body.
Victory was in sight, and everyone certainly wouldn’t slack off, quickly speeding up their attacks.
But just at this moment, as if perceiving its life force rapidly dwindling amidst the siege, smelling the gradually approaching scent of death.
The Shark Beast, initially struggling to counterattack but only able to mount defensive attacks due to the onslaught from all directions, suddenly halted its movement.
Buzz——
The deafening roar of the monster on the scene abruptly stopped.
Instead came an even more turbulent magical particle hum different from the magic deployed by Hai Yin.
The air suddenly became moist.
Xia Nan, who was taking advantage of the enemy’s body stiffening to pour damage onto the opponent’s flesh as much as possible, had his perception ability heightened to 12 points, causing a momentarily indescribable sense of danger to explode within his mind.
"Watch out!"
He suddenly voiced his warning.
The black wolf phantom that had been sprinting forward abruptly braked and then retreated fiercely.
Too sudden, he only had time to stretch his arm around the Half orc Alton who was about to rush towards the Shark Beast.
In the next second, he watched as the colossal beast, covered in wounds and drenched in blood, suddenly leap into the air, jumping a foot high on the spot.
And then gently landed down.
"Boom!!!"
The innate strength from the deep within the beast’s bloodline erupted in an instant, one could see countless small serpent-like fine cracks rapidly spreading from under its feet to the surroundings.
As the entire venue shook violently like an earthquake, twin-colored water unique to Twin Ocean burst forth from the cracks.
The closer to the Shark Beast, the stronger the water flow became.
Barbarian Akken was standing beside it during the Shark Beast’s leap, even hearing the warning from Xia Nan behind him, he couldn’t dodge in time, directly hit by the water flow erupting from under his feet.
Immediately, his feet left the ground, losing balance, flying into the air out of nowhere.
Bang——
The shark-like fist enveloped with momentum potent enough to crush steel, pierced through the water flow, and directly slammed into his chest.
