Chapter 483: Frenzy
Chapter 483: Frenzy
On his way to the Federation, Ren had raised his Leatherworking Master profession level from Lv7 to Lv9, allowing him to gain 2 Attribute Points and Skill Points.
After killing the Sea Kraken and the Epic Strongman of the Sea God Cult, Ren received abundant Golden Skill Points as a reward due to his high Dragon Vein Wizard level.
Now, he has a total of 11 Attribute Points, 22 Skill Points, and 427 Golden Skill Points.
"Basically, when in good mental condition, one can endure the doubled spiritual power consumption after triggering 'Dragon Soul Smash', and consecutively unleash two Dawn Kill techniques."
"If calculated this way, after consecutive additional points five times, one can unleash ten Dawn Kills."
"Although previously, Princess Maynia mentioned that according to ancient records, killing Gazarion requires simultaneously striking its three heads. However, what I actually rely on is not the damage of the magic itself, but the accompanying true damage."
"Even if this Gazarion is strong, I estimate that after accumulating the true damage from ten consecutive Dawn Kills, it should be enough to make the opponent drink a pot."
"If it's not going well, the opponent is sufficiently weakened, and I can instantly create three throwing spears to simultaneously strike its three heads."
"As for that Sea Goddess or potential threats from the Sea God Cult, after killing Gazarion, I will absorb the dragon genes, and my strength should increase again."
"Moreover, I still have many Attribute Points left, so the situation should be better than it is now."
After pondering, Ren immediately quickened his steps towards Gazarion.
Soon, a giant figure like a white skyscraper appeared in the distance, through the rain and fog, in Ren's eyes.
The 'Ice Sea Giant' Gazarion's enormous body and astonishing strength cannot be entirely concealed, even in the Mortuary Sea Domain.
And Ren looked at Gazarion again, silently chanting the spell, and the next second, he will release the dark silver metallic energy particle fluctuations from his palm, heavily slamming onto the ground.
"Boom!"
Instantly, dark silver metallic ripples, with his palm as the center, covered a large fan-shaped area in the front.
This time, Ren precisely controlled the coverage range of the Dawn Kill 'Steel Forest'.
Soon, the dark silver metallic ripples covered Gazarion's enormous body, along its thick and sturdy legs, quickly moving upwards.
At this time, the 'Ice Sea Giant' Gazarion naturally sensed this sudden attack.
The opponent, a former Half-God-level being, even without a genuine counterattack, exuded a cold aura and white ice crystal halo, which began to spontaneously resist the dark silver metallic ripples.
This made the metallic ripples' coverage increasingly slow, like a snail, when climbing to the neck.
Ren narrowed his eyes, and instead of trying to completely cover Gazarion's enormous body, he manipulated the Dawn Kill 'Steel Forest' to burst forth instantly!
Suddenly, countless uneven, sharp, metallic spikes, in the dark silver metal-covered area, shot out!
"Sss! Sss!"
In an instant, Gazarion's white scales shattered, and below the neck, its enormous body had thousands of dense, tiny holes.
Pale blue blood instantly spurted out of these holes!
"Roar!!!"
Gazarion, injured not lightly, screamed in pain from its three dragon heads!
Simultaneously, its breath became noticeably weaker.
In fact, what made Gazarion so painful was the effect of 'Dragon Soul Smash'.
The true damage accompanying the Dawn Kill technique, indeed, made this recently escaped ancient giant beast dazed!
"Effective!"
Ren rejoiced.
However, he then frowned.
Because Ren discovered that Gazarion's dense, tiny holes on its body were now healing at a visible speed, and even broken scales would spontaneously fall off and grow new white scales.
Obviously, if it was only a magic attack, even the Dawn Kill, would not cause Gazarion much trouble. Its injuries would heal rapidly.
At this time, the attacked Gazarion counterattacked fiercely!
Its three dragon heads, one after another, fiercely rushed towards the front.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three dragon heads, like giant lances, instantly dug three deep pits in the ground, and mud splattered everywhere!
However, Ren's figure flickered, and he quickly moved to Gazarion's left side, dodging the opponent's swift counterattack.
Meanwhile, his right hand, emitting a thick dark silver glow, again slammed onto the ground.
"Boom!"
Ripples of dark silver once again rapidly spread around, covering the area and moving upwards along Gazar's lower body.
This left Gazar both shocked and furious!
Again?
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
This time, Gazar's recently healed body was once more pierced by countless metal spikes, leaving it riddled with holes.
"Roar!!!"
The consecutive soul-tearing pain caused Gazar to howl in agony, and the powerful sound waves and shaking body caused the surrounding mist to surge like ocean waves.
At the same time...
The enraged Ice Sea Demon, Gazar, suddenly released a powerful pulse of icy energy from its massive body.
In an instant, the raindrops all around transformed into black ice crystals and, with the shockwave, violently slammed into the surroundings.
For a moment, the rain curtain was torn open for hundreds of meters, and even the clouds in the sky were almost pierced!
Within the rain curtain.
"Ahh!"
A scream echoed from the control room, and Rebecca and Benito realized that the Ajax Automaton their opponent was controlling had suddenly slowed to a halt, and dozens of white wraiths flew out from within.
Apparently, their opponent had perished on the spot under the siege of these wraiths.
"Damn it! Aldo."
Despite Aldo's various flaws, he was still their teammate, and Rebecca couldn't help but slam her fist on the dashboard in front of her.
The situation was becoming increasingly dire for the remaining two.
"Rebecca, have you noticed that our spiritual power and bodies are gradually stiffening?"
"The power of our magic has decreased by at least ten percent. If we don't find a way to break out soon, we'll end up like Aldo, slowly invaded and besieged by wraiths until we die."
Benito's deep voice carried a strong sense of anxiety for the first time.
Even if they remained still, the longer they stayed within the domain, the more the wraiths would find them.
He, too, wanted to escape.
Benito had a wife and a lovely daughter, and his will to survive was strong.
"You're right."
"But the problem is that this domain is very strange. It seems to have some kind of special isolating effect. If we don't plan our escape carefully, running blindly will only attract more wraiths and hasten our demise!"
Rebecca's crisp voice rang out.
She understood that in such critical moments, it was crucial to remain calm.
"Benito, do you faintly hear that roar?"
"Is that Gazar's roar?"
Although the Mortuary Sea Domain had a special isolating effect, Gazar was no ordinary being, and it would take the true form of the Umbra Sea Goddess to completely isolate him.
In reality, Rebecca and Benito were only a few hundred meters away from Gazar, and normally, his roar should have been deafening to them. But at this moment, the sound that reached their ears was like a cat's meow.
Below the gloomy clouds in the sky.
Red Queen Maynia fell into deep thought.
Facing the Mortuary Sea Domain, she was well aware that ordinary magic, or even Dawn Strikes, would not be enough to break through.
However, she wasn't completely without options.
She had a special trump card that required burning her dragon bloodline to cast.
The aftereffects were severe; once used, the concentration of dragon bloodline within her would permanently decrease, signifying a permanent reduction in her strength.
So, she hesitated.
Suddenly, she looked to the side.
"Huh? Is that Gazar's roar?"
"This..."
At the same time...
In the air, not far from the Fadil Mountains.
The two medium-sized airships sent by the Federation's fleet to investigate had now reached the target area.
The young officer, Jason, took out a copper telescope to observe, and his brows furrowed.
The area in his view showed no signs of any enemies.
Not a single trace, not a single sound, not a single movement.
But he was clear on one thing: things weren't always as they seemed.
After a moment's thought, he ordered, "Prepare for bombardment!"
"Sir, there's nothing ahead of us. Where should we attack?" The deputy officer beside him asked, puzzled.
"Just aim at that mountain peak. Not seeing something doesn't mean it's not there." Jason pointed ahead.
"Oh?"
"Execute the order! Deputy!"
"Yes, sir, Major General!" The deputy saluted.
After a few seconds, the two medium-sized airships quickly positioned themselves side by side and fired their cannons.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Small mushroom clouds rose from the mountain peak in the Fadil Mountains, and the airships' firepower gradually spread outward, covering the entire mountain range.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the air above an empty space behind the mountain peak, as if an invisible transparent membrane had been pulled.
"That's it!" Jason exclaimed in surprise.
"The mountain peak behind the barrage!"
Soon, the transparent membrane seemed to burst like a bubble, revealing a mountain peak clearing to everyone's eyes.
In the clearing, a black occult array with a diameter of over ten meters was emitting intense energy fluctuations. Even more astonishing was the breathtakingly beautiful figure of a dark-robed maiden floating above the array.
This sight not only stunned the federal soldiers on the two medium-sized airships but also shocked the high-ranking officers on the federal airship fleet at the rear.
They never expected someone to be causing trouble right under their noses.
"This... this is an incarnation of the Umbra Sea Goddess!" A federal high-ranking officer exclaimed, lowering his copper telescope.
Being in charge of the federal navy, he was naturally familiar with the Umbra Sea Goddess' typical appearance.
"There's no mistake!"
"In other words, this gloomy cloud and rain curtain are all manipulated by the Umbra Sea Goddess!"
"Based on the occult array that just appeared, I deduce that the Umbra Sea Goddess' purpose is to capture the Great Sea Demon Gazar."
"Why?"
"According to ancient records, Gazar is the king of all Sea Kraken, and every Sea Kraken has some kind of resonance with their king."
"So, the Sea Kraken we encountered earlier was likely captured by the Sea God Cult and used to locate the seal of the Great Sea Demon Gazar."
"Exactly!"
"It all adds up."
The high-ranking officers quickly discussed and grasped the true situation.
However, at this moment, Federal Deputy Speaker Bertrand interrupted their conversation, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to delve into the origins. The issue at hand is that our people are trapped inside. What do we do?"
"That occult array over there must be important if it's being guarded by the Umbra Sea Goddess herself," said a middle-aged officer.
"Indeed! The opponent likely needs to maintain the array's operation to exert their domain over such a large area."
"The simplest and most brutal tactic is to directly attack that array!"
"That's true, but no matter how powerful the artillery, it's impossible to injure a deity, even if it's just a projection," a white-haired senior officer stated solemnly.
On the edge of the Fadil Mountains, at the mountain peak.
The dark-robed maiden looked up at the two medium-sized airships that had appeared before her, her expression calm.
"Oh? Have I been discovered?"
"However, the time is not yet ripe. These tiny ants piloting airships need to be dealt with."
The dark-robed maiden extended her exceptionally fair fingers and pointed at the two approaching medium-sized airships.
"Shh!"
A black beam of light shot out from her fingertip, moving at incredible speed and gradually expanding as it traveled.
By the time the black beam reached the first medium-sized airship, its diameter had grown from the size of a finger to that of a washbasin.
"Pfft!"
The black beam instantly pierced the airship's gasbag.
The medium-sized airship began to tilt and rapidly descended towards the ground.
With just a casual gesture, she had destroyed an entire medium-sized airship. This sight caused Young Major General Jason's face to pale, and he immediately roared, "Quick! Full speed ahead and dodge!"
"Contact the rear airship fleet for artillery cover!"
However, to Jason's surprise, the dark-robed maiden, who could have easily eliminated them with another finger, did not continue her attack. Instead, she abruptly turned her head towards the area covered by the gloomy cloud.
"Hmm? Has Gazar started to struggle?"
The dark-robed maiden's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"I've been avoiding direct intervention to prevent provoking it, but how..."
Below the gloomy cloud, a giant creature was clearly writhing uncontrollably.
In truth, this was due to the Great Sea Demon Gazar being repeatedly struck by Ren's Dawn Kill, causing the true damage to painfully agitate its soul and driving it into a frenzy.
The frenzied, indiscriminate attack waves were gradually reaching the limit of what her incarnation could control.
In the center of the battlefield, Ren's figure flashed again, and he appeared behind Gazar.
At the same time, he increased his mental attributes by one point.
As a warm current circulated through his body, Ren instantly adjusted his entire state to its optimal level.
He slammed his palm onto the ground again, and another set of dark silver metallic ripples rippled outwards.
"The fifth wave!"
