CHAPTER 201: EVIL GOD’S WILL (PLEASE COLLECT)

Lesser Spell Forcefield!

Gravitational Distortion!

Manipulating Gravity!

Water Vortex!

...

The giant, over five meters tall, wielding two nearly four-meter-long greatswords, collided with the giant toad.

BOOM!

Battle Aura surged forth.

HMPH!

Carl grunted, involuntarily stepping back several paces. The giant toad also staggered with great difficulty.

As expected!

Ordinary Legendary Creatures, though formidable, were still not invincible; the one that had burst into the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce was an exception.

Even though he was at a disadvantage, Carl’s eyes lit up. He lifted one foot high and stomped down hard.

Superior Dharma Seal—Earth Shattering!

BOOM!

The ground cracked under his feet. Crevices spread out like a spiderweb, while dust and rubble flew about, filling the air and creating waves of powerful air currents.

The giant toad, taking the brunt of the impact, trembled massively. The strange shaking force instantly spread throughout its huge body, causing its legs to buckle and collapse to the ground.

At the same time, SWOOSH!

Dozens of stone pillars, like sharp spikes, fiercely plunged into its body, black blood spurting out.

CROAK!

The giant toad screamed towards the sky. Visible sound waves exploded in the air, directly blasting nearby houses off their foundations.

Carl was also deafened, his vision blurring.

Then, the ground shook, and a terrifying presence rapidly approached.

Guna!

Water Guardian!

Battle Skill—Guardian!

Seeing there was no time to dodge, Carl held a greatsword in each hand, crossed the swords, bent his body slightly, and collided head-on with the incoming giant toad.

BOOM!

Two figures, one large and one small, were simultaneously thrown backward.

With multiple layers of defense and going all out, Carl was actually able to hold his ground against a Legendary Creature.

"Good!"

Sea God Hawke was invigorated and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Who would have thought Freedom Port still had such a master? Are you... Carl from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce?"

There were only so many Great Knights in Freedom Port. Although he had not met Carl, he had certainly heard of him.

However, Hawke hadn’t expected that this Great Knight, who had only recently made a name for himself, would be so formidable.

Withstanding a Legendary Creature head-on!

Even he couldn’t achieve that.

"Yes."

Carl rose from the rubble. "President Hawke, now is not the time for casual talk. Let’s quickly take care of this thing."

"Right."

Hawke squinted. He lightly waved his trident, and streams of water appeared out of nowhere.

Secret Skill—Water Shadow!

His figure flashed and vanished on the spot, as countless streams of water converged into a torrent and fiercely pounced on the giant toad.

Within the water wave, the trident flickered crazily—east then west, left then right—each strike leaving wounds on the giant toad.

His attacks were fast, swift, and deceptive!

Even with Carl’s perception, he couldn’t discern where Hawke’s body was hidden within the currents. He only saw countless attacks emerge.

In an instant, the giant toad was covered in wounds. Some currents even burrowed into its body through the openings.

"EXPLODE!"

Superior Dharma Seal—Water Explosion!

The water droplets that had penetrated its body suddenly burst like bombs, knocking the giant toad to the ground with a roar.

Attack while it’s down; aim for its life.

Carl’s eyes lit up. He leaped high, slashing his twin swords at the giant toad’s head with a strong gust.

Battle Skill—Holy Sanction!

PUFF!

The greatsword cleaved into its skull, splitting it open with a huge crack. The giant toad’s body twitched before it lost all signs of life.

Carl raised an eyebrow.

Nothing!

No Source Material appeared.

The reason he had stolen the kill was for the Source Material, yet killing the Legendary Creature yielded none.

That means not all Legendary Creatures harbor Source Material within; that particular creature was just special, he thought.

HAHA... Hawke didn’t mind Carl stealing his prey. After all, who killed it was inconsequential at times like this, nor was there time to deal with the corpse. He laughed and stepped forward. "Mr. Karl, thank you!"

"You’re too polite, President Hawke," Carl said, suppressing his disappointment as he shrank back to his normal size. "What do you plan to do next?"

"Leave Freedom Port first." Hawke looked around, his expression darkening. "Given the current situation, the City Lord won’t be able to stop so many Sharkpeople. Freedom Port can’t be defended."

"In that case, let us leave together." Carl extended an invitation. "The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce’s team is nearby. There’s safety in numbers, and it’s easier to cooperate in the face of danger."

"This..." Hawke hesitated slightly, then nodded. "That’s a good idea!"

Under these circumstances, the most important thing was to survive the crisis. Previous disputes could be temporarily set aside.

"Let’s go!"

Hawke looked around. The RUSTLING sounds grew closer. With the Legendary Creature’s oppressive presence gone, more Sharkpeople were already rushing over.

"My men are nearby. Let’s join up with them first."

He lifted his trident and walked with a limp, his leg obviously severely injured in the recent fight.

Carl looked back at the corpse on the ground, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, then he stepped forward to catch up.

「Among the ruins.」

Hundreds of members from the Sea God Association were resisting the Sharkpeople’s siege. Seeing Hawke, they couldn’t help shouting loudly.

"President!"

"The President is back!"

"I told you the President could handle that Legendary Creature! You didn’t believe me, now do you?"

...

Inspired by Hawke’s return, the crowd was invigorated and managed to repel the Sharkpeople with a burst of potential.

"Let’s go!"

Hawke, limping, approached and was helped onto a carriage. "Follow Carl from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. First, we’ll join up with the people from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce."

"Carl!"

Turning around, he looked at Carl. "If it weren’t for you, the consequences this time would have been unpredictable. You not only solved a big problem for me but essentially saved my life. If there’s anything you need, just ask."
