1620 Holy Essence: Heaven Protection Sword (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
The Cruel Ocean Serpent attacked as the yacht turned around. This time, it took the straightforward approach. It simply slammed its massive body into the yacht!
Zhao Manyan quickly set up a defense. The serpent's tail slammed through the water and knocked the yacht into the air, like a bat hitting a home run. The people on the yacht immediately felt the world spinning!
Luckily, the attack did not break through Zhao Manyan's defense. He managed to protect the yacht too, but it clearly did not work faultlessly. A few more hits, and both the yacht and the people on it would be crushed to pieces.
”Don't just rely on me, I can't hold on any longer!” Zhao Manyan blurted out with a twisted expression.
Once again, Zhao Manyan was facing a Ruler-level creature. He really missed the pleasant days when he could just stand there and let the Commander-level creatures attack him at will. Unlike then, he now had to use his strongest defensive spells against a random attack from a Ruler-level creature. If he took another hit, all his defensive equipment was going to be useless!
”We are at its mercy since we can't go to the island!” Mo Fan grumbled.
”It's coming again!” Mu Bai yelled.
Mo Fan cast a Lightning Spell, but the Cruel Ocean Serpent was extremely cunning. It quickly hid in the water as soon as it noticed the destructive presence of the Lightning Magic. Even though the water would conduct lightning, it would weaken its damage at the same time. It would be difficult to stop the creature when it returned after dodging Mo Fan's spell.
As a matter of fact, there was nothing they could do when the Ruler-level creature was abusing its surroundings like that. It could easily drag the four of them to the bottom of the ocean without losing a single scale!
The Cruel Ocean Serpent sprang out of the water, its body extending horizontally over the surface. The dense scales covering it suddenly rose up like spikes!
”F**k me, was this thing crossbred with a hedgehog!?” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
The Cruel Ocean Serpent was now fully covered in spikes. As the creature started to spin at a shocking rate, the spikes became the blades of a shredder!
The Cruel Ocean Serpent was huge. It felt like a meat mincer was rolling at them. The yacht had no chance of outrunning it. Water was spraying all over the place from the spinning blades!
”We are done for!” Zhao Manyan's face was full of despair.
Mo Fan had a stern face, too. The Cruel Ocean Serpent was attacking them at close range after wearing out their defense. They would need a Super Spell to defend themselves from the creature's move!
”Should we just jump into the water?” Mu Bai asked quickly.
”It's going to swallow us if we go into the water,” Heidi countered.
”Are you f**king serious? How did you mess up the proverb?”
”Are you f**king serious? Why do you even care if I'm using the right proverb at a time like this?”
Heidi was utterly speechless about how reckless these men were. The horrifying meat mincer was right before them, yet they were still yelling at one another. She knew she could not rely on Mo Fan's defense. She saw Mu Bai trying his best to prepare himself. She also unleashed her Will.
Heidi had gathered all three facets of her Will. She was planning to set up a wall in front of her, using the waves to reduce the Cruel Ocean Serpent's speed.
Unfortunately, the silver glow did not last very long, nor did the Cruel Ocean Serpent slow down by much. It was still closing on them. Its massive body and terrifying spikes were crushing them mentally, as if there was nothing they could do apart from waiting for their deaths!
”Holy Essence: Heaven Protection Sword!”
A sacred voice suddenly descended from the sky, like protection from the God of Light. A holy blue light pierced through the gloomy clouds, followed by an enormous sword engulfed in a sacred blue radiance. It was spectacular, as if God's punishment had descended upon the mundane world.
The huge sword slammed into the ocean in front of the yacht. Mo Fan and the others lifted their eyes and saw the light of the sword keeping the Cruel Ocean Serpent away from the yacht.
The Cruel Ocean Serpent rammed into the light barrier, and amazingly some of its sturdy spikes were broken at the impact! Fresh blood was pouring out from the wounds!
The Heaven Protection Sword was unstoppable; its incredible light knocked the Cruel Ocean Serpent back. The creature thrashed about on the surface of the sea while its blood poured out like a storm. Mo Fan and the others behind the Heaven Protection Sword were lost in wonder. How much force did it take to knock the enormous creature flying?
