As the harpoon fell, streams of blood gushed out, turning into a thick blood mist that stained the entire sea surface red.
On the Black Reef, everyone who witnessed this scene felt their hearts clench with pain and their eyes widened in horror.
In everyone's hearts, Luo Xiu is the hope for the "Demon Extermination" and also the hope for the Knights of Luowangpu.
They had just emerged from the darkness, but now the guiding light was about to disappear.
In an instant, anger transformed into power. The crowd roared and poured out all their strength. Magic intertwined and surged. The phantom summoned by Amu once again picked up the spear in its hand. This time, it was faster and more swift.
In contrast, Basil and Leila, though angry, had not completely lost their minds.
Because as Luo Xiu's retinue, they could sense that Luo Xiu was not dead.
But thinking of the pain Luo Xiu was enduring, their attacks became even more ferocious, unleashing tremendous power like a torrent.
The mermaid, unaware of all this, assumed Luo Xiu was already dead. She smiled slightly, channeled her magic, and prepared to eliminate the remaining minions before her.
But just then, a sigh rang out from the sky.
"We can't kill them anymore, we really can't kill them anymore."
Everyone's eyes lit up; they recognized the voice.
It's the regimental commander!!!
In the distant center of the Knights of Rovanpu, above the largest tent, a giant axe, seemingly cast from mountain stone, slowly rose, causing the earth to tremble as soon as it appeared.
Pieces of seemingly indestructible black reef soil rose into the air, drawn by the giant axe, and merged into it.
A terrifying pressure spread out. The giant axe was just standing still in mid-air, yet countless invisible sharp rays were surging, and the sound of air being torn apart rang out continuously, falling towards the black reef and the sea surface, forming unhealable ravines.
However, it is obvious that this giant axe is not in its most complete state, because you can clearly see that there are still many gaps on the blade of the giant axe, which are filled with magic, like a half-finished product that was rushed to completion.
"No, no, if you die, I won't be able to explain to everyone. Killing a sixth-tier monster is nothing compared to your value. We can't wait any longer, or we really won't be able to kill it."
The commander's voice drifted over from afar, seemingly muttering to himself. Suddenly, he paused:
"Let's cut off one arm first."
The murderous intent in that sentence was so strong it seemed almost tangible.
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant axe in mid-air was about to strike the mermaid.
The mermaid's expression changed instantly. She mobilized all the magic power in the white magic circle, transforming it into a giant wall of fish spears that blocked her way.
At the same time, its tail flashed with a deep blue light, enveloped in magic, as if it were preparing to escape.
There was no way around it; the power of that giant axe was too immense. No one knew what methods the Grand Master of the Knights had used, but after a period of time, the magic power on that giant axe had become terrifyingly powerful.
If we give the other side some more time to prepare, we might actually be able to decapitate it directly.
Having realized this, it no longer lingered in battle. After all, its objective for the day had been achieved: the human who had killed many of its fifth-tier kin had been killed, removing a major threat to its race.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes wide in disbelief and abruptly turned its head to look in the direction of Luo Xiu's "corpse".
Suddenly, Luo Xiu, who should have been dead beyond any doubt, raised his head and gave it a somewhat horrifying smile on his blood-stained face.
【The Imposter from Another World】Activated, traversing.
[Weakness Spell] Activated.
He appeared before the mermaid in an instant, reached into the water, and grabbed its arm.
All of this happened so fast that Luo Xiu had firmly taken control of it in the blink of an eye.
"&*……%!!! (This is impossible!!!)"
The mermaid, held in Luo Xiu's arms, was so surprised that she spoke her native language.
She couldn't understand it. She had clearly tested him with water mist before, and with Luo Xiu's physique, it was impossible for him to survive being pierced by so many spears.
Luo Xiu smiled. Although he didn't understand what the mermaid was saying, he could roughly guess what it meant.
He really hadn't used this trick in a long time.
The overlapping of multiple healing spells, feeling the body constantly going back and forth between tearing and healing, was indeed very painful.
But it was surprisingly effective.
No matter how you look at it, healing spells remain the most enduring and popular option.
The mermaids weren't the only ones surprised.
[Demon Extermination] As everyone watched Luo Xiu "come back to life," many were too excited to speak, and some even had tears welling up in their eyes.
"Damn it, this kid is possessed, he still has energy left."
In the heart of Black Reef, the commander's voice was filled with shock.
He only knew that Luo Xiu wouldn't die. After all, he had experienced Luo Xiu's Weakening Technique that day. When on the verge of death, Luo Xiu only needed to use this move, and the mermaid wouldn't be able to do anything to him for a while.
But to his surprise, Luo Xiu still had the strength to hold the mermaid in his arms.
Moreover, judging from Luo Xiu's appearance, he seemed completely unharmed.
"Damn, this kid is a bit over the top."
The commander muttered something again, and then Luo Xiu's urging voice came.
"Kill her!!!"
"Okay, okay, stop rushing me!!!"
This time, with Luo Xiu in control, the captain finally had time to fully fill the giant axe.
The completed giant axe exudes a heavy, ancient aura. Although it stands in mid-air, it seems to possess tens of thousands of jin of power, causing the ground below to crack inch by inch.
The next second, as violent magic surged into it, the giant axe surged out, tearing through the air at an unimaginable speed.
Luo Xiu timed his move perfectly, grabbing the terrified mermaid in his hand and tossing her into the air.
"*!(No!)"
A piercing scream rang out as the mermaid's body slammed into the giant axe, exploding into a dazzling spray of blood with a soft thud.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The mermaid's torn body fell into the calm sea. She opened her eyes, which were covered in blood, and surprisingly, she was not dead yet.
She screamed in agony, her remaining right hand sliding in the sea, trying to escape with the help of the water. But having lost her tail fin and left hand, she seemed to have lost the swimming ability that God had given her, and her speed was extremely slow.
Not to mention that her body was covered with huge, gruesome wounds, from which blood was gushing out.
She hadn't swum very far when she ran out of strength, her chest heaving violently like a broken bellows.
Blood was flowing back into her cheeks; she was about to die.
As a sixth-order being, an existence that transcends countless lives, her desire not to die reached its peak, yet at this moment, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Her ears were in a similar state of distress. The eardrum in her left ear had ruptured completely, and she could not hear a sound. Although she could still hear in her right ear, there was only a loud roaring sound.
She still hadn't given up hope of living, and tried her best to mobilize the little magic power left in her body to perceive the things around her, but soon she fell into despair.
She sensed a familiar figure swimming towards her.
"*!*! (No! No!)"
She frantically swam with her right hand, trying to swim away, but it was clear that she couldn't outswim Luo Xiu at this point.
Soon, a faint sound entered her only right ear:
"The pain will subside soon."
"*!*——"
She screamed as she felt a powerful hand crawl up her neck. The hand didn't kill her immediately, but tightened its grip, as if making her sense death approaching step by step.
Ultimately, her head lolled to the side, and she lost her life in fear.
Luo Xiu, clutching the mermaid's corpse, heard a pleasant system notification in his ear:
[Host has slain the Queen of Song, Mermaid, Points +3000]
3000 points can be added, which is six times that of the fifth tier, so it's not bad.
Luo Xiu slowly swam back.
Chapter 245 They're all flat!
Tonight is a rare night of revelry for the Knights of Rovanpu.
As a knightly order stationed on the outermost coast of Rovanpu, it takes half a day to reach the nearest shore by boat. The main atmosphere here is one of loneliness and desolation. If you want to live here, you must first be able to endure loneliness and boredom.
Therefore, there is a saying in Luowangpu:
The men of Rovanp are all tough guys, but the soldiers of the Knights of Rovanp are even tougher.
There are hardly any gatherings or celebrations here all year round, because monsters can attack at any time.
But today is different.
The various divisions have just sent people to test the magic concentration in the seawater and found that the magic concentration in the sea areas at the front of all battle lines has dropped significantly.
Faced with this strange phenomenon, each regiment sent out reconnaissance teams to conduct repeated investigations, and even the commander-in-chief personally intervened, finally arriving at a conclusion.
The area where the monsters were located has receded significantly, and there are no monsters left in the sea area several miles ahead.
This was unprecedented. Several branch commanders and the overall commander held a meeting for several hours before finally making a decision:
Tonight is Rovaniemi's night of revelry.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
Actually, this was to test whether the monster was harboring any evil intentions.
Each division dispatched a secret team to keep a close watch on the sea, waiting for the monsters to come to them.
Although it was a joyous gathering, restrictions were placed on the amount of alcohol consumed and the number of people allowed to rest.
In short, the Knights of Rovaniemi are fishing.
Even so, the soldiers were still very excited by the celebratory atmosphere.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire rising from the protruding black reef, singing, dancing, drinking, chatting, and enjoying a rare carnival.
After a few drinks, everyone became more talkative, and the name that appeared in almost every campfire chat was naturally the real protagonist of the day: Luo Xiu.
