Asrold!
When Vivian faced the young Dragon Pulse Sorcerer, a large battleship with Naga Sea Monster armor also appeared in Soren’s line of sight.
Pirate King – Asrold!
This b*stard who once betrayed Soren, making him face the Swamp King alone, and then secretly attacked Demon Island to steal the fruits of victory. Soren had restrained himself and didn’t act against him at that time, but did not expect this guy dared to attack Snake Island. Now that he finally saw him, a strong killing intent instantly rose in Soren’s eyes.
—“Mighty Force Spell【Spell Maximization】!”
—“Mayoufu Meteor【Spell Maximization】!”
—“Elegance of the Cat【Spell Maximization】!”
As the lights of spells emerged, when the silhouette of the Naga battleship appeared in front of Soren, he quickly cast a series of maximized support spells, then leaped into the air, like a skilled light-footed master lightly stepping on the water surface, and then he ran quickly across the ocean.
Decapitate!
Eliminate Asrold!
In this moment, Soren held nothing back. As he rapidly approached the Naga battleship, he suddenly roared, and a series of crackling bone sounds erupted from his body. His pupils dilated, filled with bl**d, finally turning into a strange bl**d-red.
—“Transform into Slayer!”
Soren’s figure leapt upward near the Naga battleship, the strength in his transformed state was incredible, directly cracking the extremely solid deck with visible marks. His form shot upwards like a cannonball, a rapidly condensed Mayoufu flame appearing in his palm, locking onto Asrold’s position before being thrown out.
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted.
A hole was blown in the deck of the Naga battleship, and one of Asrold’s attendants was killed on the spot.
The Mayoufu Meteor, enhanced by spell maximization, was equivalent to a full strike from Soren. While he was still in midair, his attacks rained down like anti-aircraft fire, as Mayoufu flames fell in a dense barrage on the location of the Naga battleship’s helmsman. Explosions roared continuously, and within just one second, nine Mayoufu Meteors poured out, all hitting the target, thanks to the incredible agility granted by the Slayer transformation.
The solid deck was directly blown apart, and the nearby corpses were shattered.
The continuous explosions destroyed everything within a five-meter radius.
The Pirate King Asrold, who had controlled the Eastern Sea Route for many years, was thus reduced to a pile of flesh without even a whimper.
In fact, when attacked, he activated several pieces of equipment, but they only blocked three Mayoufu Meteor attacks; afterward, he was engulfed by the rushing flames. The so-called ‘low-tier God-slaying spell’ Mayoufu Meteor easily broke through his defensive gear. Under the scorching damage amounting to hundreds of points from the explosion, a quasi-legendary Pirate King fell just like that.
Thud!
Soren’s figure knelt on one knee, the flames in his palm gradually extinguishing. The Mayoufu Meteor could only sustain about ten attacks, and as a fifth-ring spell under spell maximization, it was meant to provide sustained combat capability. Yet due to Soren’s rapid attacks, it transformed into an explosive power. With just a few high-level spell slots left, after using three spell maximizations, he had halved his fourth and fifth ring spell slots. As soon as he landed, he drew out two curved blades, slicing through the air towards the enemy before him.
Clangclang!
—“Sword Intent【Spiral Dance】!”
The opponent fighting with Soren was an expressionless middle-aged officer. He had slight burn marks on his body, and his weapon was a rather rare stiletto. He managed to block Soren’s powerful strikes one after another.
“d*mn it!”
The middle-aged officer glanced at the pile of flesh before him, spat, “This waste! He was easily decapitated!”
Roar!
Faced with Soren’s fierce assault, he suddenly let out a low roar, his body swelling like a barbarian. This was not a berserk ability, but rather a different power unfamiliar to Soren, more akin to some kind of forbidden dark art.
“Brother, be careful!”
A sudden cry of alarm came from Vivian in the sky, and then they spotted a strange red figure emerging from the air, tracing an arc as it descended, raising a hand to cast a spell of paralysis.
—“Human Paralyzing Spell!”
Duchess of Red Dragon.
After being unseen for so long, she finally appeared, but her target was Soren.
She also wanted to decapitate him.
When Soren successfully eliminated Pirate King Asrold, she mysteriously appeared nearby, locking her sights onto Soren.
A string of data appeared:
“You have been attacked by the Human Paralyzing Spell!…”
“Triggering mandatory Fortitude saving throw!… Fortitude saving throw passed!… You are immune to this spell attack!…”
…………
Where did she come from?
Soren’s perceptive abilities were already substantial; not even an inkling of intuition was triggered by her attack, the only explanation being that she truly was not nearby just moments ago.
The Ethereal Realm!
Suddenly, Soren thought of something.
High-level spellcasters could enter the Ethereal Realm, which is a parallel plane to the Material Plane. Most people present would be unable to see those in the Ethereal Realm. This was reminiscent of the tactics of a Legendary Wanderer, who could also enter the Shadow Plane and then directly traverse into the Material Plane.
“Fortitude save successful?”
Soren felt a surge of joy and immediately activated his stealth, entering a concealed state.
—“Detect Invisibility!”
The Duchess of Red Dragon cast her spell remarkably swiftly, accompanied by the brilliance of spell lights as Soren’s figure appeared ten meters away.
—“Vivisection!(Eighth Ring Spell)”
Alongside the glow of the spell, a cruel smile appeared on the Duchess of Red Dragon’s beautiful face. In an instant, Soren’s figure stiffened, letting out a beast-like painful howl. His skin turned a strange pale red, as if it had been cut by a scalpel, with tiny bl**d-red wounds appearing all over.
—“Edict: Intimidation!”
Another spell fell from above, leaving Soren’s figure frozen in place.
However, this spell seemed to have a limited effect on Soren; he paused for only a moment before regaining his freedom.
“What powerful vitality!”
The Duchess of Red Dragon couldn’t help but frown, murmuring, “Demon Bloodline? How can a Wanderer possess vitality comparable to a Warrior?”
The Intimidation spell was quite effective against low-vitality enemies.
But if the enemy’s constitution and vitality were too strong, the probability of passing the saving throw would be considerably high!
—“Shadow Leap!”
Soren couldn’t attack the Duchess of Red Dragon in the air, so he dove into the shadows, appearing at the edge of the deck.
The Requiem was drawing closer.
His figure splashed into the sea with a thud, and then vanished without a trace.
No direct confrontation!
Soren’s ranged attack capability was limited to arrows, and likely not even the arrows could pierce through the Duchess of Red Dragon’s energy defensive field.
Legendary Dragon Pulse Sorcerer!
With Soren’s current strength, even in the Slayer form, he held little chance of victory, barely capable of defending himself.
Indeed, the one dealing with her was another person who had waited long!
—Fallen Witch【Corinna】!
…………
When the Duchess of Red Dragon appeared, the Fallen Witch mysteriously vanished from her original spot. As Soren fell into the sea, the Fallen Witch in a black robe appeared near The Requiem and raised her hand to cast a spell at the Duchess of Red Dragon before her.
—“Great Disintegration Spell!”
—“Separation Spell!”
—“Magic Duncan Disintegration Spell!”
Legendary spellcasters possess numerous defensive measures; the most important thing to k*ll them was to break through their defensive fields.
—“Fear Domain!”
—“Time Stop!”
Vivian had waited a long time for her appearance. She suddenly abandoned her current opponent. A teleportation spark appeared next to the Duchess of Red Dragon, followed by the launch of the legendary spell Time Stop.
—“Accidental Spell!”
—“Chain Accident Spell!”
As the Duchess of Red Dragon’s figure was frozen in midair, a series of triggering spells exploded like fireworks, with spell lights continuously appearing. Countless protective energy fields enveloped her. It was impossible to tell how many defensive spells had triggered, and at least five or six spell lights appeared on her gear alone.
The difficulty of killing a Legendary Spellcaster was extremely high!
Soren was also unsure if Vivian and the Fallen Witch could break through each other’s defensive fields within the duration of the spell. Therefore, to pursue the greatest outcome, he decisively issued an attack order.
Legendary Dragon Pulse Sorcerers.
Their vitality was comparable to that of Legendary Warriors; they were like half a giant dragon. Even without any defensive spells, killing them was still quite difficult. (The base life count for a Legendary Dragon Pulse Sorcerer is 12 points. Soren as a Wanderer has only 6 points, Wizard 4 points, Shadow 8 points.)
Dragon Head Battleship.
As the Iron Golem operated, a purple light emerged from the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon experimental model I-1, and then it gathered a powerful energy as if it were electromagnetic charging, condensing onto the silver-white barrel. The powerful energy even caused slight distortions in the surrounding space, with energy-jumping arcs resembling layers stacking upon each other.
“Energy activation complete!”
“Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon experimental model I-1 locking target!…”
“Fire!…”
A purple energy beam split the sky, piercing through the Duchess of Red Dragon’s body in the next moment. The highly concentrated energy even passed through the Time Stop field, leaving a massive hole in her chest, entirely devoid of bl**d, as all the bl**d had been vaporized. But this was just the beginning; the purple energy beam shot forth, evaporating the mast of a battleship, part of which shattered and fell. The energy beam spanned nearly twenty kilometers, ultimately striking the walls of Fury Sand Island in the distance.
Boom!
There was no explosion sound, only the rumbling of collapse.
The thick, nearly ten-meter solid city gates thus turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.
A dead silence enveloped the entire battlefield.
