Chapter 251: Physique 385
A colossal palm print descended from above, making the massive water dragon seem like a tiny dragon leech in comparison.
"Boom!"
The force, unleashed at the very limits of the world's laws, directly struck the water dragon, causing its bones to shatter as it wailed in agony.
The enormous dragon body tumbled, crashing into the mountainside.
However, 'dragons' in any world were known for their thick hides, and killing one was not as simple as it was not that simple to kill one.
The dragon shook its body, shattering the surrounding rocks, and roared as it swung its head and tail towards Karl.
"The two of you take on one, I'll handle this one, let's make this quick," Karl said, glancing at Nyct and the other. He approached with a single hand in a sealing gesture.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands—Thunderous Seal! Dense lightning flashed and expanded amidst the pouring rain, colliding with the attacking water dragon.
A Middle Rank Devotee of the Second Rank! Karl's eyes flickered, and he felt no worry, instead, a hint of joy emerged. For him, this was Essence!
On the other side, Nyct attacked the Middle Rank Devotee of the Water Tide Deity with his scythe, while Mei, a devotee of light, attacked the Middle Rank Devotee of the Water Tide Deity with her dark powers.
The combination of light and darkness resulted in an unexpectedly powerful display of divine arts.
They instantly suppressed their opponents.
"Devotee of the Water Tide Deity, surrender! You are no match for us!" Nyct shouted, attacking while taunting his opponent.
"Hmph!"
The devotee, with its peculiar head and crab-like claws for hands, laughed in response to Nyct's threat.
"Stinky crab!" Nyct narrowed his eyes.
"Asking for death!"
"The Water Tide Deity sure isn't picky, eight out of ten of his devotees are aquatic oddities."
"Die!"
Nyct's scythe trembled, transforming into a void phantom that struck down, ignoring physical defenses and assaulting the mind.
"Boom!"
The crab devotee shattered into pieces, scattering into a large puddle.
"Hmm?"
The two regained their composure, realizing the misty surroundings, and that their opponent had used a clone to evade the attack.
"In a short time, you won't defeat me," the crab devotee's shadow appeared nearby, taunting as it moved sideways.
"On the contrary, your ally might not be able to hold out!"
Instinctively, they looked in the direction he indicated.
Lady Mewaya was engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the High Rank Servant, Hong Qiu, making it difficult to discern a clear victor.
As for Karl...
"Two of them?"
Mei shouted, her face paling.
The water dragon had somehow split into two, transforming into two Dragon Scourge Middle Rank Devotees.
Two against one,
Karl's situation immediately became less than ideal.
This development was beyond their expectations.
After all, they had only come to Marsh City, and Hong Qiu's presence with three Middle Rank Devotees was already unexpected.
Middle Rank Devotees were not common, and most deities only sent one or two High Rank Servants and a few Middle Rank Devotees.
The appearance of so many was indeed surprising.
"Don't worry about him."
As anxiety crept into their hearts, Lady Mewaya's voice echoed from above, calm and steady.
"Karl can handle it."
Below, thick clouds rose, and over a dozen massive stone pillars appeared, trapping the two Second Rank water dragons within.
Twelve Star Palace!
Lady Mewaya's lips curled upwards.
As expected!
This treasure had fallen into her hands.
Centuries ago, when the Divine Realm shattered and the Heavenly Palace's treasures scattered across the land, she had obtained a Fourth Rank Gauntlet, while Sodan acquired the Twelve Star Palace.
Olenna and the others had ventured to the Land of Freedom but returned empty-handed, so the Twelve Star Palace naturally ended up in Karl's possession.
"Seal!"
"Boom!"
The Twelve Star Palace unleashed its power, isolating the inside from the outside, and the two Second Rank water dragons were firmly suppressed within.
"You want to kill us?"
One of the water dragons roared, "In your dreams!"
"This world's rules limit the upper bounds of power, no matter your skill, you can't kill us brothers!"
The two water dragons intertwined and coiled, their various attacks proving difficult to defend against.
"Mid-Second Rank..." Karl narrowed his eyes, then shook his head gently.
"Killing you in this world is indeed a bit troublesome, but changing locations will do the trick."
A voidal shift occurred.
The two dragons and the man reappeared in a Divine Realm Fragment.
The fragment, now spanning thousands of square meters, was no longer considered small, but with the addition of the two water dragons, it felt cramped.
"Where are we?"
Suddenly, the world spun, and the two water dragons were momentarily stunned, only to realize that their strength was no longer restricted.
Their Mid-Second Rank cultivation could be fully unleashed.
Delighted, Karl's aura surged, reaching Mid-Second Rank, and two Wizard Towers appeared beside him.
Third Circle Magic - Demon Eye!
Pseudo Third Rank - Fear Aura!
...
"Boom!"
After a few waves of attacks, the water dragons struggled slightly, but under the absolute power of Karl, they met their demise.
Essence +7
"A fairly ordinary Middle Rank Servant," Karl shook his head, slightly disappointed.
According to his estimation, a truly powerful Middle Rank Servant could provide around 7 points of Essence.
The Dream Demon, on the other hand, only gave 6 points.
Essence: 13
Without hesitation, Karl's thoughts moved, and all 13 points of Essence were added to her Physique.
Physique: 36.7 - 38!
The Fifth Stage of Holy Demonic Transformation went into overdrive with the increase in Physique, but it was still one step away from the breakthrough.
...
"Whoosh!"
Karl returned to the Otherworld, casually tossing the bodies of the two 'Water Snakes' aside to report to Lady Mewaya later.
Then, Karl retracted the Twelve Star Palace and, enveloped in lightning, soared upwards towards Hong Qiu.
Mid-air, his eyes lit up.
Six-Star Death Curse Spell!
"Wuu..."
Six Death Wraiths emerged, roaring with a strength at the peak of First Rank. Born from pure death, they possessed an almost unyielding trait, and together, they could match most Second Rank beings.
Even the High Rank Servant, Hong Qiu, was affected by the Death Wraiths, his actions momentarily stalled.
An opportunity!
Lady Mewaya's eyes sparkled.
With a light gesture, she sliced the air before her, and her five fingers extended, reaching through the void to the back of Hong Qiu.
Rift Space!
Void Glove!
This was the ability of the Fourth Rank artifact - the Void Glove.
If they could tear through space, cutting through the flesh of a Deity Servant would be effortless.
"Pff!"
Lady Mewaya's palm pierced Hong Qiu's back, grasping his beating heart.
Then, with a swift pull...
"Boom!"
The heart burst.
Seizing the moment, Karl rushed forward, his hands forming a seal and slamming together.
"Boom!"
Hong Qiu's body exploded.
However, instead of rejoicing, their brows furrowed as they turned to the flowing water around them.
The water merged with the rain, making tracking difficult.
"He escaped?"
Lady Mewaya sighed, "The suppression of the world rules restricts the true strength of High Rank Servants, but it also limits our explosive power."
"If the rules were slightly more lenient, I could have kept him here!"
Karl shook his head.
When the rules relax, High Rank Servants can employ more tactics, making it harder to defeat them.
"Aigh!"
With a light sigh, Karl turned and dove towards the Crab below.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands!
Six-Star Death Curse Spell!
Cold-Hot Symphony!
With the combined efforts of Nyct and Lady Mewaya, the Crab could only roar in frustration before being struck down by the palm strikes.
Essence +5
Karl didn't hold back, directly adding it to his Physique.
Physique: 38.5
Just one step away from the High Stage Second Rank's Forty Great Threshold.
End of Chapter.
