Thotmudo hammered away relentlessly, each strike resonating as if pounding at the heart. Everyone present felt their heartbeat sync with the rhythmic blows of the peculiar hammer, causing ripples in the sky akin to waves in the sea, emanating from the point of impact.
The black mist, under constant assault, halted its spread. Seizing the opportunity, Isaiah unleashed another torrent of infernal flames, tearing through the rolling darkness alongside the shockwaves from the hammer strikes.
Balzarna, wearing a scowl, intensified the speed of the mist’s expulsion. The dense mist, ink-like, emitted eerie twists and howls, as if countless souls were crying out in despair from within.
A portion of the mist bypassed direct confrontation, instead launching an attack from below, enveloping Kraken, who lacked ranged capabilities, in its shroud.
A piercing cry, tinged with agony and resentment, reminiscent of a wailing infant, echoed. The tentacles, once capable of sweeping through legions, flailed aimlessly against the intangible darkness, enduring severe erosion.
Balzarna smirked, “Accursed reptile, you shall be the first epic tier slain by me upon invading the primary world!”
However, without warning, a massive wave surged, carrying thousands of demons with immense force, shattering the invisible mist.
The Kraken hastily retreated its battered form, escaping the mist’s clutches. Though formidable in brute strength, its resilience was its true asset; its body swiftly regenerating from the visible decay, as new flesh rapidly replaced the necrotic tissue, indicating a full recovery in no time.
Seeing the flesh slipping from his grasp, Balzarna abruptly shifted his gaze towards Ji Chen hovering in the distance, his bloated face brimming with malice.
With a shrill wail akin to emanating from an endless abyss, he declared, “Human, if death is what you seek, I shall grant it.”
Ji Chen remained composed, one hand wielding the Trident of the Abyss, gesturing calmly with a slight shake of the trident’s tip.
“Bring it on,” the implication was instantly understood.
Balzarna widened his eyes in fury, his mouth gaping open like that of a monstrous fissure, spewing forth a dense column of smoke, morphing into a massive three-headed hound several dozen meters in length.
Ji Chen lightly waved the trident, causing a vast expanse of seawater to rise, forming a towering four-armed giant. Adorned in armor and wielding a spear, sword, and bow, its countenance exuded imposing authority.
Roars reverberated from both incarnations of their respective hosts and powers.
The four-armed giant took the initiative, its muscular arms, sculpted like statues, pulling back the bow made of seawater, forming arrows. The tips of the arrows converged into swirling vortices, then burst forth.
The giant continuously drew the bow and shot, the arrows raining down like a barrage of bullets, emanating a deadly intent.
The three-headed hound agilely dodged and weaved, retaliating with billowing clouds of thick mist.
The mist, solidifying into spherical projectiles like cannonballs, hurled towards its target, potent enough to effortlessly slay a legendary-tier being.
Yet, the four-armed giant calmly swung its sword, cleaving the mist in two with a resounding explosion. Simultaneously, its arm wielding the spear tensed to the extreme, launching it forth.
A glint of cold light approached.
Engaged in evading the storm of arrows, the three-headed hound had no choice but to endure the impending impact of the spear’s throw, akin to a meteor strike.
Boom!
The three-headed hound exploded into a mass of black mist, pierced through by the spear before reconstituting.
Ji Chen furrowed his brows slightly; the mist’s properties bore a resemblance to water, equally capable of regeneration and reshaping, possessing exceptional flexibility.
Determined, he manipulated the four-armed giant to raise its arm once more, poised for another spear throw.
Seeing Ji Chen’s intent to try again, Balzarna’s face twisted with a sneer.
Having spent millennia battling in the depths of chaos, he had long grown accustomed to such petty tactics, which were inconsequential to him. He had even witnessed far more despicable methods.
The same method was ineffective against him, let alone these mere attacks.
However, Balzarna did not notice the four-armed giant was about to throw a spear, a subtle shimmer of blue light was circulating.
Seeing the spear shooting towards him, the three-headed dog attempted to repeat its previous evasion tactic. However, this time, the spear did not pass through the dispersing black mist but, as if hitting a solid object, pinned a large portion of the mist in mid-air.
A brilliant blue light suddenly burst forth, melting the black mist like scorching sunlight melting snow. The black mist was forcefully pushed back, retreating frantically like a mouse encountering a cat. Yet, the blue light, as if imbued with life itself, relentlessly pursued, voraciously devouring the mist.
In just a few breaths, most of the mist had been consumed, leaving only a small patch around Balzarna.
However, Balzarna remained unfazed. When he saw this dazzling display of blue light, his eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly widened, filled with astonishment and a hint of realization.
“So that’s it, so that’s it! You actually possess the power of the ocean!!”
On the city wall, I_Love_Black_Stockings was immediately stunned, turning to ask, “What is the power of the ocean?”
The Kobold Strategist swallowed his saliva and replied, “If I remember correctly, the power of the ocean is the composition of the ocean god’s power… It’s also the prerequisite for condensing the ocean god’s essence and igniting the divine flame.”
I_Love_Black_Stockings caught the key point, condensing the god’s essence and igniting the divine flame!?
It sounded very high-end to her. Well, it seemed very formidable!
