"Yes."
The top players from the capital city spoke up, and although they weren't as imposing as Kanriel had been, since they hadn't had much real combat experience, they still agreed.
Seeing Gus's appearance, Lis nodded to herself. If Gus could learn some leadership qualities from Luo Xiu through this monster battle, it would undoubtedly be the greatest progress.
But before the people of the capital could set off, a dragon's roar and a howl resounded across the sky at the same time, as if adding the final element to this storm: the sound of thunder.
Then, a colossal object appeared before everyone's eyes.
The figure was even larger than the fifth-tier Flood Lizard opposite it, with snow-white fur all over its body, each hair as thick as a person's waist. Standing in the seawater, it seemed as if its head could touch the sky.
What kind of monster is this? !
Everyone was horrified. Another new kind of monster?
Compared to this colossal beast, Tassanya, after its dragon transformation, appeared tiny. With a wave of its right hand, it stirred up a fierce gale, making the waves on the sea even more violent and turbulent, as if a tsunami was about to strike.
"What do we do now? It's really over..."
Someone murmured, their face ashen.
This newly appeared monster is terrifying. I have never seen anything like it in any books. It looks like a Silver Moon Bear, but it is much larger than a Silver Moon Bear. Even a fifth-tier Silver Moon Bear should not be this big.
But when the enormous beast swung its claws, everyone was surprised to find that it was actually attacking the lizards and mermaids that had been submerged in water.
Several low-level scuba lizards were smashed into mincemeat with a single swipe of their claws. The sea surface seemed to have turned into an incredibly hard ground. The mermaids behind them were flattened, leaving not a trace of their severed limbs.
"Is this from our side?"
"Who is it?"
The shock in everyone's eyes was almost overflowing, but Kelis was even more shocked.
Because she recognized who it was.
Just minutes before, the two were chatting happily, and the little one had snuggled into his arms and told him stories about his time in Kanriel.
But now...
Finally, she accepted the fact.
She should have realized this sooner; if Tassanya had already come to this point, then it was only natural that Leila would become like this.
For some inexplicable reason, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart that she couldn't explain.
With the help of this suddenly appearing behemoth, the pressure on Kanriel and his crew on the ferry was greatly reduced, and they were even able to handle things with ease. They did not intentionally kill many of the lizards and mermaids, but simply knocked them unconscious and had Tassanya carry them to Leila's side.
In just a short moment, thanks to Leila's appearance, the battle was almost completely reversed.
At this moment, after advancing to the fifth rank, Leila's bloodline has undergone another transformation and transcendence. It can even be said that she is a completely different creature from the Silver Moon Bear. Facing these fourth-rank monsters, she can almost crush them.
"Tear—"
A sharp howl came from the mouths of the two mountain-like lizards that had been attacking Novamp with water cannons and had gained a considerable advantage, but now they could no longer sit still because of Leila's appearance.
They swung their thick claws, which were like towering pillars, and their massive bodies charged forward at an astonishing speed, crashing into Leila's enormous body.
But a small figure stood on Leila's steel-like fur, and a huge iron hammer in her hand grew larger in the wind until it was almost the same size as Leila's arm.
Basil's platinum hair danced as she gripped the handle of the giant hammer with both hands and slammed it down on the two mountain-like figures.
On the ferry deck, Neptune felt a sore throat. Swallowing her saliva felt like there were sharp thorns in her throat, and her singing voice was no longer full, becoming thin and dry.
Facing the songs of two fifth-tier mermaids at the same time was still a bit tiring for her. However, for some reason, she felt that one of the mermaids was not in a good state today. The song it sang did not contain much spiritual power. Instead, it conveyed a faint sense of fear.
Otherwise, if two fifth-tier mermaids were to unleash their full power, she would likely sing until her throat bled and still not be able to completely counteract that terrifying mental intrusion.
No one found it.
The mermaid sitting on the back of the giant lizard on the left had a look of fear in her dead fish eyes, her face was pale, and she was trembling in the storm.
Just as Neptune had guessed, she wasn't in good shape. She was singing against her will, without much spiritual power being transmitted, and her singing was even less pleasant than the sound of the wind and rain around her.
But we can't blame it.
Because at that moment, an unseen hand was gripping its neck, gently pulling it into its embrace.
"Sing properly, no slacking off."
Luo Xiu's figure blended into the surrounding environment like a chameleon, and his aura was also concealed. He spoke softly in the mermaid's ear.
Chapter 224 Rovanpu's First Battle 2
Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, the mermaid trembled as if she were hearing the whispers of a demon.
It knew that Luo Xiu was right beside it, but even though it was so close, it still couldn't sense Luo Xiu's presence.
This unknown mystery instilled fear in it, causing its singing to become somewhat off-key.
Luo Xiu was somewhat dissatisfied. Although he couldn't understand what tune it was, he could still tell whether it was pleasant or unpleasant to listen to.
He tightened his grip on the mermaid's neck until the mermaid's song trembled and became beautiful again. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and look at the battle on the deck.
Just minutes before he was about to be hit by the water cannon, he used [The Imposter of Another World] to teleport behind the fifth-tier water lizard and came to the side of the fishman.
The effect of this Tier 5 equipment given to him by his teacher is arguably the strongest Tier 5 equipment Luo Xiu has ever seen.
[Blink]: After charging your magic, you can choose to perform two long-distance blinks or six short-distance blinks.
Long distances are approximately one kilometer, while short distances range from one hundred to several hundred meters.
【Disguise】: 【The Imposter from Another World】has three disguise effects.
The first type is disguise in style and color. For example, the blue, white and gold clothes that Luo Xiu is wearing now are naturally transformed according to Luo Xiu's wishes.
The second type is invisibility and camouflage, which not only allows one to blend into the surrounding environment but also to conceal one's own presence.
The third type is appearance disguise, which can change one's appearance and physique.
【Bloodshed】: When blood approaches the 【Impersonator from Another World】, it will be absorbed and automatically converted into corresponding magic power based on the amount of magic power contained in the blood, thus storing and circulating magic power.
[Barrier]: [The Imposter from Another World] can consume stored magic power to form a magic barrier. The defensive power and duration of the magic barrier depend on the stored magic power, with an upper limit of... the full-force attack of the highest level 5.
Luo Xiu looked at the Kanriel group on the deck, who were dealing with the monster's attack in an orderly manner, and his eyes gleamed.
His actions were intentional, because when [Slavery] was upgraded to LV.5, not only did he gain an extra slot for a secondary servant and unlock a skill called [Servant Prayer], but most importantly, he saw the effect of the next level of [Slavery].
LV.1 [Slavery & Authority]: Increases the number of secondary servants by two. In addition, each secondary servant can choose three agents. The agents' strength will increase proportionally with the strength of the secondary servants. The agents will be greatly restricted by the secondary servants.
The effect was nothing short of astonishing.
The fact that secondary relatives can have agents means that Luo Xiu's team can expand rapidly. This makes Luo Xiu wonder if, if he continues to upgrade, something similar to secondary agents will appear.
If it really exists... Luo Xiu thought of a word: exponential explosion.
If this trend continues to spread layer by layer, Luo Xiu's retinue may soon be able to cover an entire knightly order, a city, or even... a country.
Such a terrifying idea made Luo Xiu begin to take seriously the two general skills, [Pointing] and [Examining], which are similar to [Enslavement].
According to Hup, the general skill books are naturally generated in special regions of Dorant, with each general skill corresponding to a special region of a city, and there are four in total.
I've already obtained three, and there's one more left, which is Rowanpu's [Contract].
Perhaps by acquiring all four skills, he could learn more about the secrets of universal skills.
Sing well.
He whispered in the mermaid's ear.
He wanted to see where the limits of the Kanriel team were and whether it was worth investing in them.
If possible, he would naturally want to use Kanriel as the starting point for the spread of his followers.
……
Two earth-shattering impacts rang out in succession as Basil's iron hammer slammed into the heads of the two horned lizards.
The enormous sound waves spread out, almost splitting the sea in two, creating a wide "crack" between the ferry and the lizard, with seawater rushing in frantically.
"Tear!!!"
The two lizards roared, and this collision was undoubtedly their victory. Basil's hammer trembled violently, almost slipping from his grasp.
If Lei hadn't stretched out her giant claw and placed it on her back at the last moment, she might have been sent flying by this attack.
There was nothing she could do. She felt that her strength was roughly equal to that of the second lizard. When she collided with the second lizard, there was a gap in her strength between the two attempts to exert force, which the lizard seized upon.
Her gaze swept across the room, searching for Luo Xiu's whereabouts, hoping that Luo Xiu could cast a weakening spell.
But they couldn't find any trace of Luo Xiu.
"This guy did it on purpose."
She pouted and muttered something.
For some reason, she had absolutely no idea that "Luo Xiu might be in trouble." In her heart, Luo Xiu was someone who would never die.
That's definitely a trick by this guy! He wanted to see me make a fool of myself, so he waited until the very end to show off...
She angrily swung the hammer.
I can manage without you, old lady!!
A massive magic circle illuminated the hammer, and her petite body unleashed power far exceeding anything she had ever possessed, slamming down with immense force!
The two lizards tried to use the same trick again. One of them charged forward first, its body breaking through the waves like a mountain range charging forward, and crashed into the giant hammer.
But this time, it miscalculated.
The immense force from the giant hammer caused a sharp pain in its hard head, its lantern-sized eyes widened, and thick blood vessels appeared.
With just one strike, it was blasted back, its entire body sinking, almost being pushed underwater.
This caused a slight pause in the second lizard's attack, which Basil seized the opportunity to strike squarely on the forehead.
A wail rang out, and the two consecutive blows left the two lizards bewildered, not understanding why the human in front of them had suddenly become so strong.
However, they quickly realized that the human in front of them had used his maximum power and was also enhanced by magic.
Once they understood this, their attacks became more measured. They no longer sought to win in one fell swoop, but instead used water cannons and ramming attacks to wear Basil down. They knew that Basil's current state could not last long, and they only needed to wait for her to exhaust herself.
Luo Xiu witnessed this scene and silently made a note of it.
Basil had this problem in both battles: he relied too much on strength and did not make a good assessment of his physical strength.
This fighting style often works well against opponents weaker than her, but if the opponent is of equal strength and doesn't engage in direct confrontation, she is more likely to get anxious.
