Chapter 514: Advancing Through the Waves
Chapter 514: Advancing Through the Waves
With insufficient combat data, the Hunting Log could only provide a rough description.
However, as he was able to collect information about the enemy, Lindsey felt much more at ease.
By Lindsey's side, Wah Wah Wah immediately placed her violin on her shoulder upon hearing his call.
"Lindsey, I can only help you by playing a tune."
"Don't expect me to engage in combat with this body!"
In the dark sea, Wah Wah Wah's music echoed beside Lindsey, a passionate and uplifting melody.
Due to her small size, she couldn't showcase much of her artistic skills.
But as each note flowed from the strings, Lindsey's attribute panel gained a temporary buff.
[Battle Surge: An encouraging combat tune that grants a +3 boost to all attributes for the listener.]
Lindsey immediately imprinted this tune onto a music score.
As a result, the effect of the tune became a +2 boost to all attributes.
Wah Wah Wah's performance could have been better if her artistic skills had taken effect during the performance.
"No problem! Leave the fighting to me!"
Lindsey responded loudly to Wah Wah Wah.
He skillfully applied spell patterns and prepared his weapon.
Then, he leaped into the seawater before him and charged forward amidst the uplifting melody played by the girl.
His equipment granted him exceptional underwater mobility.
At this moment, he moved swiftly forward, appearing to be walking on the waves.
The ship behind them was their only foothold on the sea, so Lindsey naturally wouldn't draw the battle near the vessel.
Amidst the raging winds and towering waves, Lindsey gradually approached the enemy, his vision becoming clearer.
The [Frost Venom Arrow] left marks on Krulu that didn't resemble wounds but rather resembled ice crystals forming in the air.
Boom!
A massive wave crashed down, and Lindsey's figure instantly vanished into the darkness.
Wah Wah Wah, still playing on the ship, turned pale:
"Lindsey! You..."
The next moment, the girl saw a figure breaking through the waves and emerging from the darkness.
Lindsey looked disheveled.
However, the attack from the waves had little effect on him.
[Nautilus Shell], [Ocean Current Emblem], and [Muddy Catfish Head].
These three pieces of equipment activated simultaneously, making it nearly impossible for the waves to inflict damage on Lindsey at this moment.
Instead, it was the strong headwind that became a headache.
Diving into the water—the raging currents and giant whirlpools intertwined, making it impossible for Lindsey to control his position, even with his exceptional swimming abilities.
As for his current situation—standing and moving near the water's surface—
The fierce airflow made it difficult to even open one's mouth to speak, and breathing became exceptionally challenging.
As Lindsey advanced,
Every few meters he moved forward felt like a direct clash with an invisible heavenly bull.
Boom!
Another giant wave rose abruptly from the whirlpool.
Lindsey's body swayed, and he nearly got swept away by the wave.
At this moment, he was drenched from head to toe, and his vision blurred.
"Come on! Take this!"
Lindsey picked up the [Horned Greatbow] and fired several arrows forward.
Krulu's massive body meant that even if a few arrows were blown off course by the raging winds and waves, they still froze and formed ice crystals in the air.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, something in Lindsey's blurry vision lit up.
It was coming from the sky.
The seawater covering his eyes made it difficult to see what was happening, but such a bright light...
Lightning!
The [Sky Compass]'s crisis warning sounded at this moment.
Lindsey reacted instantly.
Almost instinctively, he pulled out an iron rod from his backpack.
As his limbs went numb, he entered the Data Form state and forcefully threw the iron rod to the side:
"Get out of here!"
Lindsey shouted, and this lightning rod quickly moved to the nearby sea surface.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, the sea storm arrived as promised.
Lindsey's lightning rod promptly drew the thunder to a distant location, and then it reverberated through the deep sea.
But after this loud boom, his ears temporarily lost their hearing, leaving only the sound of his heartbeat in his breath.
Plop—Plop—
Lindsey calmed himself.
The previous encounter had prepared him with a batch of anti-lightning supplies, and just as he was about to use them, they came in handy.
On the turbulent and unpredictable sea, Lindsey once again stabilized his body.
His numbed body was almost malfunctioning, but the essence of life quickly flowed through him, and he soon regained control of his body.
"Is it this difficult just to get close?"
Lindsey wiped the seawater and sweat from his face.
He took a closer look.
In the midst of the storm, the ice crystals that had just been frozen by the Frost Poison Arrow were still in their original positions.
There was not a single hint of wavering.
This indicated that Ocean Nemesis was right there, not moving at all.
This ocean beast had an arrogant attitude...
Buzz—
In an instant.
Lindsey felt his body go numb again.
At such close proximity to the thunder, the body could sense a sign before the lightning arrived.
"So soon?"
Lindsey suddenly dove to the left.
At the same time, another lightning rod was thrown to his right.
Boom! A pillar of light flashed across the dark sea.
This time, the thunder was even closer to Lindsey, and he could even smell the salty, damp air with the scent of electrolysis.
No way!
I can't stay on the sea surface any longer!
An alarm sounded in Lindsey's mind.
He could contend with the seawater and hurricane through his equipment, but a strike from the lightning would be a fatal blow.
Lindsey dared not hesitate.
This time, he plunged his body downward, diving into the seawater.
The next second, the turbulent currents of the whirlpool and the raging sea pulled his body along.
Lindsey was completely submerged, almost instantly overwhelmed by this force.
Unless he turned back and fled, allowing the force to weaken, he could only let the other party toy with his body!
"I need more strength, more power to fight against the currents!"
Lindsey bravely moved forward, without a hint of retreat.
In the sea, he was like a leaf, carried away by the currents.
Lindsey remained calm amidst the crisis.
Equipment, skills, even if he took stimulants now...
At that moment, an item appeared in Lindsey's field of view—the Abyss Clumping Algae.
He had originally planned to convert all of this material into the power system.
But the Abyss Clumping Algae could also be used to create the Sea Vow Elixir.
A potion that enhances affinity with water elements and resistance to seawater pressure!
Now was not the time to conserve resources!
In the raging waves that could tear a person apart, Lindsey activated his skills and crafted the potion, then immediately consumed it.
The bone-chilling liquid slid down his throat.
He felt the pressure of the surrounding seawater instantly dissipate, and his erratic body stabilized in the raging currents.
"Gulp—"
Lindsey exhaled in relief within the seawater.
He spat out a string of bubbles, which were instantly swept away by the turbulent currents.
Now was the time to check the Hunting Journal.
After this bout, the description indeed had new content.
"Ocean Nemesis's body is formed from the concept of disaster, and its consciousness is composed of the spirits of the dead on the sea surface."
"Weakness: Grudge Core"
"Hunting Suggestion: Stimulate the opponent's mind, and it will reveal its vulnerable grudge core."
