CHAPTER 360: 143 POWER AND BLOOD PILL (PLEASE COLLECT)_2

But they didn’t dare to make a move, or if they did, the outcome was dire.

"Hmm?"

"They’re coming!"

Two massive shadows burst from the island, smashing through trees and rocks on their path to the shore.

Their movements were noticeably sluggish, as if their cerebellums were underdeveloped, making them stagger.

This indicated that the drug had taken effect.

Carl stepped forward, looking toward the targets.

These were two giant crocodiles, each over twenty meters in length, their bodies covered with scales that shimmered with a metallic luster.

Their heads were enormous, filled with sharp fangs, each one as keen as a knife, easily capable of crushing hard rocks.

Their black eyes were cold and cruel, like a gaze from the Abyss that one dared not meet directly.

First Rank Late Stage, Abyssal Crocodiles!

Their strength is greater than expected, but luckily, this isn’t the Magic Forest. At First Rank Late Stage, they also can’t utilize Star Realm Energy. I’m not fighting alone; it’s somewhat dangerous but not unacceptable.

If this were the Magic Forest, forget two; even facing one, I’d have to keep a great distance. This is a good opportunity to test my current strength.

Using their flesh and blood to refine Blood Pills will definitely result in a more potent effect!

"ROAR!"

As he pondered, another roar echoed.

One of the Abyssal Crocodiles opened its massive mouth, roaring toward the boats on the sea. Instead of sonic waves, an invisible surge of spiritual power descended from the sky.

「In an instant」

The boat closest to the island suddenly faltered; faint, almost invisible shadows began to separate from the bodies aboard.

One-Circle Witchcraft—Soul Extraction!

"BANG!"

The hull of the Entulayshi trembled lightly.

A several-meter-long arrow shot out from a cannon, targeting the Abyssal Crocodile that was trying to Devour souls.

The immense penetrating power sent the Abyssal Crocodile flying, interrupting its attempt to Devour the souls. However, its tough scales meant it sustained no significant damage.

"Let’s go," Carl said. "Separate them first."

"SWOOSH!"

Yana’s figure flickered, and she shot forward, transforming into a shadowy blur as she rushed toward one of the targets.

Her extreme speed allowed her to tread on the water’s surface as if it were solid ground, reaching her target in just a few Breaths.

Slash!

Seventeen Continuous Attacks!

The great sword, exuding a devastating, pale aura, collided with the Abyssal Crocodile, kicking up shockwaves.

"CRASH!"

The Entulayshi coordinated by firing giant arrows.

「On the other side」

Carl, having reached the airspace above the island on his Magic Flying Carpet, crushed a Seal.

Chain Fireball!

A huge Fireball, one meter in diameter, appeared out of nowhere and rushed toward the other Abyssal Crocodile.

Automatic targeting is a basic feature of One-Circle Witchcraft, and with a target so large, it was impossible to miss.

"BOOM!"

The Fireball exploded, erupting into a Fierce Flame that sent the Abyssal Crocodile flying from the force of the blast.

And it wasn’t just one Fireball.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

Three Fireballs struck in quick succession, blasting the Abyssal Crocodile into the forest over a hundred meters from the shoreline.

An early-stage Wizard casts three Chain Fireballs, a mid-stage Wizard casts six, and a late-stage Wizard casts nine, Carl’s eyes gleamed. It’s not just the quantity that increases; the power is enhanced accordingly.

Judging by the defensive power this Abyssal Crocodile has shown, even a First Order Middle Stage Wizard casting Chain Fireball would struggle to severely injure it.

"Hmm?"

An invisible wave of spiritual power surged toward his mind. Carl’s head snapped back, and a stifled grunt escaped him.

Soul Impact!

It felt like thousands of steel needles piercing his brain, rampaging within his Spiritual Inner Sea.

Fortunately, the presence of Dimensional Cage and Thunder God’s Fury helped him withstand this attack.

Especially Thunder God’s Fury.

With the help of a Divine Domain Fragment, Carl had successfully mastered the basics of this witchcraft. Although he lacked an affinity for Thunderclap power, the soul-level defensive ability was retained, which was the source of his confidence to go hunting.

Even so, a momentary lapse of consciousness made it difficult for Carl to control the Magic Flying Carpet, and his body swayed and tumbled from mid-air.

Conni didn’t say the targets had this kind of ability?

If it were an ordinary First Order Early Stage Wizard, I’m afraid this one strike would have crippled them.

Shaking his head to clear it, Carl muttered as he stood up from the deep pit, "Making more preparations, indeed, never..."

"THUD!"

The trembling of the earth cut short his complaint as the twenty-plus-meter Abyssal Crocodile, crashing through trees, staggered toward him.

It was clear that the effects of the Huang Sheep drug still influenced it.

Carl’s expression tightened. A Magic Wand appeared in his hand, and he pointed it forward gently.

Water elements rapidly converged, forming a river that surged toward the oncoming Abyssal Crocodile.

The current stretched for dozens of meters, filled with churning Vortexes and shooting water arrows.

One-Circle Witchcraft—Force of the Tides!

The Magic Wand was from Marian and named the Staff of Life. It increased the power of life-type and plant-type witchcraft by 50%, and other witchcraft by 30%.

Additionally, Carl’s Wizard Robe, also from Marian, increased his spiritual power recovery speed by 50%.

It hadn’t been convenient to reveal these items in the Magic Forest, but here, there were no such concerns.

"BANG!"

The Abyssal Crocodile plunged headfirst into the suddenly manifested river, where it was violently battered by the surging Force of the Tides.

"CRACKLE..."

"PUFF!"

Scales were ripped off by the undercurrents, and its flesh was torn by water arrows.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the river conjured by the Force of the Tides turned red, and the crocodile roared wildly within it.

I practice the Source Sea Meditation Method and possess the Giant Squid Bloodline, both of which enhance all Water Magic. Coupled with the Magic Wand and Wizard Robe...

Even though they are both One-Circle Witchcraft, the power of Force of the Tides is far greater than that of the Chain Fireball cast from a Seal. No wonder Wizards rarely use First Order Seals; it’s really not cost-effective.
