Chapter 34: Potential Enemy

Zzz~

Zzz~

A torrent of purple lightning crackled down wildly.

A large number of undead wailed and died directly under the crisscrossing lightning that carried penetrating and destructive power.

Gunie finally completed the casting of the Great Thunder Flame Incantation.

"Indeed, my path of a magic tank and instant-cast spells is very correct."

"Otherwise, during the vulnerable period of casting, being ambushed would be too easy to die. The large number of secret runes allow me to cast even secret-pattern spells extremely quickly."

"Moreover, Blood Touch also helped a great deal."

Feeling the dagger stuck in his back, Gunie was in no hurry to pull it out.

A true magic tank could still cast spells and fight even if their body was full of weapons.

Besides, Gunie could sense that the opponent seemed to have some means of communicating with the weapon, having tried to withdraw it earlier, but Gunie's tough flesh directly jammed it, making it impossible to pull out.

The moment the spell ended,

Gunie didn't waste any words with the opponent.

Raising his hand, he directly took out the writhing flesh.

Anyway, there were no allies nearby.

This writhing flesh should be used when necessary.

The moment Gunie made his move, the fifth-rank shadow-type expert reacted swiftly, directly using a powerful invisibility, vanishing entirely into the water, with no trace of source power or aura detectable.

The next moment,

"Ah!" A piercing scream of agony erupted in the depths of the ocean.

Then Gunie saw two blood balls burst open at the bottom of the sea.

You may be invisible, but this writhing flesh doesn't care whether you're invisible or not.

As long as you dare to look, it will make you bear the price of looking.

While taking out the writhing flesh, Gunie also prepared the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse.

He hadn't released it immediately because he knew this fifth-rank assassin possessed the ability "Shadow Walk," which might allow him to evade.

The moment the eyeballs burst, Gunie cast the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse.

Then Gunie sensed the presence of that fifth-rank assassin.

At the same time, the fifth-rank assassin clearly felt that Gunie's Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse had locked onto him.

"Hum!"

While rapidly shuttling, the fifth-rank assassin suddenly burst forth with a milky white light from his body.

This was some kind of dispelling source power skill, capable of removing locking, revealing, positioning, and similar spell effects.

"A fifth-rank expert is indeed a fifth-rank expert, with such a solid foundation, even having a dispelling source power skill."

"Unfortunately, my fifth-level high-rank spell cannot be dispelled by you."

The white light quickly bloomed, but Gunie's Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse remained firmly locked onto the fifth-rank assassin, the dispelling effect utterly useless.

At this moment, Baron's heart sank heavily.

He couldn't understand why his painstakingly cultivated second-level high-rank dispelling source power skill, which had always worked flawlessly, was now ineffective, without even the slightest sensation of shaking the locking spell.

"Some kind of powerful locking skill scroll?"

Unable to see the situation, Baron could only guess blindly.

Being so strongly locked, he felt the danger of death.

Blindness essentially meant losing ninety percent of his combat power.

And with the opponent locking onto him, he had no chance to turn the tables, not even to escape.

But he would not sit idly waiting for death.

With a leap, Baron rapidly used Shadow Walk combined with an extreme burst of source power to swim swiftly toward the surface.

But just as he performed one Shadow Walk,

"Sizz~"

A powerful electric current instantly enveloped his body, even causing his body to spasm slightly and go numb.

"A high-rank spell, and an extremely powerful one at that, with a strong penetrating paralysis effect. Damn, I can't even control my body. How can this third-rank guy cast high-rank spells so fast?"

"Even a high-rank spellcaster wouldn't cast high-rank spells this quickly."

"Can he cast high-rank spells this fast? Is he a high-rank spellcaster? Or is he using a scroll again this time?"

At this moment, Baron's heart was ice-cold, hoping only that the paralysis effect of the spell would fade quickly so he could escape.

Then!

"Sizz~"

Another powerful electric current pierced his body, the strong paralysis effect making him completely unable to feel the pain in his body.

But after two consecutive high-rank spell strikes, his soul had already begun to weaken.

The penetrating power directly attacked his soul.

"Am I... going to die?"

With the third high-rank spell strike, Baron's final soul consciousness shattered.

The shattering of soul consciousness meant complete death.

At the broken altar deep in the sea, looking at the falling corpse of the fifth-rank assassin,

"His defense is quite strong; it took three fourth-level high-rank annihilation spells, Little Thunder Flame Curse, to kill him."

"If he had encountered any other third-rank spellcaster, the one dying today would have been that third-rank spellcaster. Unfortunately, he met me."

Instant-cast high-rank spells.

Now, Gunie fully possessed the combat power of a high-rank spellcaster, even surpassing some of them.

A puppet secret thread pulled the fifth-rank shadow assassin over.

Blood Touch immediately pounced on him eagerly.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle...

A large amount of blood was quickly drawn into the blood pool by Blood Touch.

In three or four seconds, the blood of the fifth-rank shadow assassin was completely drained by Blood Touch.

After several months of idling, under the effect of the sixth-level Blood Pool Codex, Gunie's blood pool now had a capacity of over eight thousand milliliters, more than enough to hold a person's entire blood.

With the "Blood Touch" as a "blood pump," Gunie no longer had to worry about blood extraction.

"Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been stabbed at least five or six, even seven or eight times in the back."

Gently stroking Blood Touch, Gunie said softly.

The shadow assassin's attack speed was extremely fast.

In one second, the opponent could deliver seven or eight full-power attacks.

For this kind of close-range assassin, Blood Touch could effectively restrain them.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Gunie could withstand the attacks; if killed in one hit, even the most powerful means would be useless.

Fortunately, Gunie's physical toughness was high enough, and it would only grow stronger.

After storing the writhing flesh and the corpse of the fifth-rank expert into the system space,

Gunie also pulled out the dagger from his back.

Fiddling with it briefly, Gunie sensed that this dagger was of the mithril magic gold level, and it also had some kind of sharp tearing property, which further increased its value, at least six or seven thousand gold pounds.

"A nice dagger. I happen to need a fruit knife; you'll do."

After putting the items away,

Gunie looked around.

The earlier area-wide Great Thunder Flame Curse had killed many undead.

Most of the rest were scattered.

Some of these scattered undead were still besieging the fifth- and sixth-rank undead.

Some wandered over, as blood had bloomed here.

Moreover, some undead noticed that Gunie was also a piece of living flesh.

These scattered undead were no longer a concern.

While staying alert to the surroundings, Gunie began releasing the fourth-level high-rank spell Little Thunder Flame Curse to clear the wandering undead.

This fourth-level Little Thunder Flame Curse, with 14 syllables and 4 source power consumption, had just taken down the fifth-rank shadow assassin with three strikes, showing its power.

Against these undead, which were weak against thunder-type spells, the effect was naturally even better.

"Someone in this deep sea, if not a coincidence... then..."

The next moment, Gunie's body shook.

"This is..."
