Chapter 49: Means of Magic Suppression

A sharp light bloomed, without any sound, nor any fluctuation of source power or other unusual disturbances.

But Gune could sense it.

Not only because the consumption of a large amount of "Dawn of the Soul" had enhanced Gune's extrasensory perception.

More importantly, after his soul broke through to become a domain caster, whether or not Gune entered a state of soul projection, he would possess his own "Soul Perception Domain."

Within the range of the Soul Perception Domain, anything that existed would inevitably be known to Gune.

The Soul Perception Domain, combined with extremely strong extrasensory perception, allowed Gune to sense the presence of this expert when he approached within about five meters.

While lightly stepping aside to dodge the attack,

with a "swish!"

the Bloody Touch sprang out in an instant.

"He sensed that? This guy is only third-order."

Gez, who had just closed in to strike, was slightly startled.

When the opponent released a large-scale spell, Gez had sensed that this spellcaster was a third-order spellcaster.

This shocked Gez deeply.

Being only third-order, he could easily kill a large number of second- and third-order sea races, even scaring fourth-order sea races into keeping their distance.

Probably even a third-order chieftain couldn't achieve this level!

And now, facing such a massive assault, with even a fifth-order expert approaching,

even a third-order lord under these circumstances could not remain so composed.

Especially being detected as soon as he closed in, this made the fifth-order shadow assassin Gez highly vigilant.

"Could it be... this guy is a third-order 'Super Caster'!"

His vigilance and shock did not affect Gez's movements.

The moment the blood-colored tentacle sprang out,

Gez sensed that this might be a powerful sealed object; if he were touched by it, the consequences would not be pleasant.

He swung his dagger forcefully.

With a "clang!"

the dagger clashed with the Bloody Touch.

The powerful force transmitted from the blood-colored tentacle made Gez inwardly gasp.

Blocking the fifth-order shadow expert from getting close gave Gune enough time to counterattack.

Without the Bloody Touch, Gune would certainly have been flustered or even forced to endure the attack.

The Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Spell instantly bloomed in Gune's hand.

A fifth-order Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Spell blooming beside Gune could affect a range of twenty to thirty meters around.

This way, he could precisely lock onto the fifth-order shadow expert.

"Hum!"

A faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of source power was ultimately clearly captured by Gez.

"A locking-type spell, but so what if it locks?"

"Your opponent is not just me."

At this moment, four fifth-order experts were joining forces.

They were giving this third-order, suspected "Super Caster" plenty of respect.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The seawater on both sides of the sea demon ship burst open, and two water dragons as thick as buckets surged forth, winding toward Gune.

On top of these two water dragons, two fifth-order Yecha fishmen experts, wielding sharp tridents, used the spell dragons to attack Gune from both sides.

"Low-level secret pattern spell, Source Sea Prison."

The two water dragons surged violently, and Gune could feel the profound source power fluctuations with suppressive characteristics within them.

"As expected, there is a water elementalist. Now that I've been locked by this low-level secret pattern spell, Source Sea Prison, I can't escape even if I want to."

"Once the Source Sea Prison imprisons me, all the source power in my source pool and even my physical body will be completely immobilized, equivalent to a magic-suppressed state."

"A spellcaster under magic suppression—the outcome is predictable."

"And this is a low-level secret pattern spell, on the ocean at that; I probably won't be able to mobilize source power for over ten minutes."

"Not to mention ten minutes, even ten seconds would be enough to finish me. Truly a desperate scene."

Faced with such a dire situation, Gune showed no abnormal psychological fluctuations.

After all, Gune had long prepared backup measures for various complex situations.

Without any hesitation or delay,

Gune immediately pulled out the "Eye Terminator"—a large piece of wriggling flesh.

The moment the wriggling flesh appeared,

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of eyeballs bursting like firecrackers rose one after another.

"Ah..."

"My eyes."

"What is this?"

"Damn it!"

The many Yecha fishmen who kept jumping onto the sea demon ship screamed in agony.

The three fifth-order experts closest to Gune naturally could not escape the fate of their eyeballs bursting.

Faced with the sudden change of eyeball explosions,

the three fifth-order experts displayed extremely strong combat quality.

They only let out low groans and continued to execute their predetermined attack trajectories resolutely.

The two fifth-order Yecha fishmen experts, along with the water dragons, lunged straight at Gune.

Meanwhile, Gez, having parried the Bloody Touch with his dagger, lunged straight at Gune's chest.

The Source Sea Prison was about to imprison this third-order caster.

Once he was imprisoned, the three would pounce on him simultaneously, and he would surely die.

Otherwise, if he used some treasure like a sealed object to blind their eyes and they retreated out of fear, the excellent situation would be wasted.

With a "bang!"

Gune's Blood Shield shattered under the attack of the fierce fifth-order Yecha fishman's trident on the left.

Then the trident, with ferocious impact, thrust toward Gune's body.

At the same time, the trident of the fifth-order Yecha fishman on the right followed closely.

In front, Gez's dagger also stabbed toward Gune's heart.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The attacks from three directions, almost simultaneously, slammed heavily into Gune's body.

While attacking, all three felt their attacks meet strong resistance.

It seemed they had broken through something like the spellcaster's chainmail.

But behind the chainmail, there was another layer of extremely strong defense; what it was, they couldn't see.

The attacks of the three were all extremely fierce and powerful.

The tridents of the two fifth-order sea races directly tore through Gune's chainmail, even penetrating slightly, causing damage to Gune's neck and shoulder blades.

In contrast, the attack of the fifth-order shadow assassin was weaker.

Only the force penetrated the Purple Scale Chainmail, creating a wound on Gune's chest, but not causing too severe damage.

Other third-order spellcasters facing this attack would basically have their bodies shattered instantly.

But Gune withstood it.

Not only did Gune withstand it, but he also took countermeasures.

"Rustle..."

The Source Sea Prison spell began to imprison Gune's body.

At the same time,

"Bang!"

The sound of an Arcane Shot suddenly rang out.

The reason Gune did not flee everywhere,

and even endured the attacks of the three while staying on the roof of the captain's cabin,

was that at the top of the captain's cabin, Gune had hidden an arcane channel constructed with mental tentacles reaching deep below the roof.

Gune guessed that the opponent likely had a spellcasting expert, and indeed there was a high-level water elementalist.

And this arcane channel was prepared for that spellcaster.

Gune would rather endure damage than first eliminate the water elementalist.

At this moment, the advantage of the mental tentacles became apparent.

Even while Gune's body was under attack,

the mental tentacles manipulated the puppet threads, using his Eagle Eye vision, and could still accurately aim at the fifth-order water elementalist over eighty meters away.

Killing this fifth-order elementalist would allow Gune to easily break free from the "Source Sea Prison."

At that time, these high-rank transcendents, whose eyes were already blind, would be easy prey for him to slaughter at will.
