Capítulo 833: Chapter D298: Core Meltdown_3

The Hero thought for a moment, then immediately began to swirl in the air as if dancing.

[Hero Activates Skill: Inferno Bloodline LV10: When cast in Phoenix State, ignore chant requirements lower than Agility, and it automatically succeeds unless interrupted]

Although nightmares are intangible, the Dream Erosion Group in reality needs to inhabit corpses, similar to the undead, but even more twisted than them.

In the previous isolated island Nun’s dream, also under the environmental suppression of the Cathedral, they were almost powerless to resist and were devoured by me.

But at this moment in reality, if I want to directly destroy their “shells,” those nightmares lurking underground would surely not remain indifferent.

It instantly boils the water within the ritual range, with no other effects—simple yet practical magic.

Unknown Gourmet Mage: What, you say the fish is too big to fit in one pot? No problem, watch me cook the entire lake for you.

The Phoenix circled several times, and the ritual level casting was also completed.

Golden-red fire feathers fell to the ground, causing the entire area’s underground water to boil instantly, billowing white steam broke through the earth, creating a misty environment.

Scorching steam rose high, refracting the Phoenix’s radiance, making the killing intent above this barren land contrast with the magnificent scenery of clouds and mist.

[Hero deals 737 damage to Nether Sea Dream Erosion Group]

[Nether Sea Dream Erosion Group suffers excessive damage, group quantity -1]

The Hero’s Phoenix Eyes pierced through the mist, sharply scanning every detail on the ground.

Soon, the earth trembled, and cracks spread.

First, countless inky black viscous particles rose from the crevices, staining the pure white steam a dirty gray-black.

Then, the ground’s cracks rapidly expanded, rock layers surged, and the pitch-black scorching underground water turned into numerous boiling springs, gushing from below, quickly turning the surface into a filthy black.

“It’s out!”

The Hero’s Phoenix Eyes brightened, his wings flapped, about to dive bomb but suddenly hovering mid-air, watching the endless black water below cautiously.

‘Something’s not right, there’s too much coming out.’ The Depraved Hero also noticed something amiss, clicking his tongue in wonder.

‘Could it be that the beatdown we gave it earlier drove it to desperation?’

The speed of the black water’s eruption far exceeded expectations, forming a dark lake on the barren land in such a short time.

The fountain disappeared, not from stopping, but because the lake’s depth had surpassed the springs, while the surface of the Black Lake, as deep as the nocturnal sea, continued expanding without light.

The water surface did not reflect stars but instead acted as a light-devouring black hole, even the Phoenix’s golden brilliance could not illuminate it.

Then, beneath the black surface of the Eternal Night Lake, a giant corpse slowly opened its eyes, gazing distantly at the Phoenix above.

♛: Sea Shrimp

As the giant corpse clad in heavy armor emerged from the water, another surge of Magic Power inside the Hero shook with anger.

The ink-black giant shrimp rose from the Black Lake, and beneath the heavy shell, where the eyes should shine, was a dark void, like two caverns leading to Hell.

Under it, the pair of broken yet jagged gigantic Chopping Axes displayed this corpse’s renowned name before death.

—Sea Shrimp.

‘What a tasteless guy.’ The Depraved Hero’s previously intrigued voice turned cold.

‘It frightens the sea’s inhabitants with this method, doesn’t it?’ The Hero grimly stared at this familiar yet strange enemy.

Friends and family in life becoming enemies, oneself in death finding no relief… Facing such a being that isn’t an undead, but worse than an undead, is a terrifying nightmare itself.

For the Outer Body Incarnation of the Sea Shrimp, this scene is a blasphemous sight.

In the Mage’s definition, the Sea Shrimp is in fact the Hero’s “past life,” albeit one of.

Hence, the Hero, sharing the anguish of the Sea Shrimp, also had fury burning in his Phoenix Eyes at this moment.

The emotions of the three overlapped, and in the bright as day night sky, a torrential downpour began.
