Chapter 401 – Set up a Formation, Kill the Monsters (1/2)
Without a doubt, it was a luxury for Fatty to use Sky City to do his mission and attack these monsters that didn’t even reach the Saint tier. The fact that he had just acquired a magic stone vein thickened his pocket and also his extravagance to use magic crystal cannons at will. If it had been his miser past, he who wasn’t willing to waste a penny would never use magic stones to fight this kind of monster.
One shot from a magic crystal cannon and the ugly Prue Beast let out an intolerably shrill scream like that of nails on a chalkboard. A big hole appeared on its body where blood freely flowed out.
Fuzzy masses squirmed on the monster’s body. As its ugly sarcomas burst one by one, thick black juice gushed out and dyed the surrounding seawater in an ugly shade of black.
Suffering such a serious wound, the Prue Beast only lost half of its health and wasn’t in fatal danger. As if it knew that it wasn’t a match for the strange fellow in the sky, the Prue Beast twisted its mud-like body and slipped into the sea.
“Don't go, eat another one!” Fatty had never felt so mighty bullying anyone with magic crystal cannons before. Staring at the Prue Beast sliding into the sea and nearly disappearing, he turned a magic crystal cannon, aimed at the little tentacle still visible on the surface and fired.
They were ten thousand meters apart, but this shot was cruelly accurate, straight at the Prue Beast’s body under the sea. As a miserable scream reached the ears of all in Sky City over the distance of ten kilometers, they saw that a hole had been vaporized on the sea surface, over 10 meters wide where there was no water, nothing. The injured Prue Beast, who had just received the shot, was completely dead this time, not even leaving a body behind.
Ding.
System Notification: Mission progress: 1/10000.
Fatty blanked out for a moment, then angrily cursed out loud. One shot consumed 10 magic stones and two shots were needed to kill a Prue Beast. The system actually required him to kill 10,000 to complete the mission. That meant 20,000 shots, a lot of magic stones!
No wonder the time limit was one month. However, now there were only a little more than ten days left. Fatty's mission was in helluva trouble.
“Decide yourself, lose a level or consume 200,000 magic stones,” Reck angrily said.
“You serious? Like I even have to choose! I won’t waste so many magic stones even if I lose ten levels!” Fatty yelped.
Despite saying so, Fatty still wanted to complete the mission. The 9th enhancement at level 90 was the last goal of normal leveling. After that, ranking up from Saint to Celestial, from Celestial to Divine, and from Divine to Legendary, all demanded chance and luck and not levels. Besides, there was no level distinction beyond level 90 and up, so it was impossible to level from killing monsters anymore.
However, it was tremendously difficult for Fatty to kill 10,000 Prue Beasts in a dozen days. Regardless of whether there was enough time or not, Fatty was fully aware of the power of the magic crystal cannons. If they needed two shots to kill one Prue Beast, it was questionable whether Fatty could kill it himself.
“Motherf*cker! It’s trying to anger me to death!” Fatty was really unwilling to use the elemental energy in the Elemental Mystery Realm. In the mortal battle last time with Bader, although the hapless prince had been easily killed, a lot of elemental energy had been consumed to make that possible. Especially later when Fatty had used Eternal Frozen to escape the prison of the Divine earth mage, it had nearly exhausted the already limited ice energy. If it hadn’t been for the elements being able to convert among each other, it would be impossible to use ice magic now.
A hand raised and the Elemental Sword Diagram flew out, slowly rotating above his head. A myriad of sword auras burst out, leaving deep marks on a nearby magic crystal cannon.
Having Reck control Sky City, Fatty jumped off, spreading the Zephyr Wings to fly down. Once he landed on an ice floe, a dense chill immediately invaded his body. Fatty shivered and found his health slowly dropping.
“Your granny, this is pure cruelty,” Fatty muttered. He needed to not waste the time left to do the mission.
The Prue Beasts’ usual habitat was on the ice floes, except when they were hungry, they would dive into the sea looking for food. Fatty came at the wrong time, apparently, because it seemed just like lunchtime as there weren’t many Prue Beasts on this ice floe.
The scattered ice floes varied in size, the small ones were only the size of a house while the large ones were as big as an island except with ice all over, just like a glacier or snowfield.
Fatty went to the largest ice floe, which was obviously the stronghold of the Prue Beasts. Not only were there several Prue Beasts on guard, but there were also small Prue Beasts making babyish cries.
These little Prue Beasts were only fist-sized and pink in color. Their limp bodies were like lumps of unformed plasticine with short tentacles. They looked very cartoonish, much more preferable than the disgusting big Prue Beast just now.
“People all say that beauty starts at the age of eighteen, well now this is the true eighteen change,” Fatty mumbled to himself as he looked at these cartoon-like little Prue Beasts.
The big Prue Beasts who were taking care of the little ones immediately issued hoarse cries when they saw a strange-looking creature fall on their ice floe. Their liquid bodies practically flowed towards Fatty, the tentacles of different lengths bounced up, sending out some black sticky substance that came sweeping at him.
