Chapter 515: Weakness Exposed
Chapter 515: Weakness Exposed
A body composed of disaster concepts must be situated within the midst of a sea storm.
The consciousness formed by the gathering of departed wraiths resulted in its thoughts being too chaotic, causing it to continuously emit indiscriminate malevolence!
"...”
Lindsey stabilized himself underwater and continued approaching the enemy ahead.
After reading the information on the Hunting Journal, he finally gained a more concrete understanding of Ocean Nemesis, the Ocean Nightmare.
Lindsey switched modules effortlessly.
The Puzzle Game allowed him to see through the seawater, imprinting the approximate size of Krulu in his pupils.
It was an irregularly shaped object about 40 meters long, resembling a small hill with a flat top, formed from accumulated silt.
"Strike the core."
"But with such a massive size, forcefully creating a penetrating wound from above..."
Lindsey shook his head, interrupting his own thought.
Assuming the core was located in the center of its body, even if its 40-meter length was folded in half, it would still be a formidable 20-meter thickness.
20 meters!
Not to mention, this was the body of a sea disaster.
Even if it were made of other materials, it would still be an impenetrable fortress.
"Then I'll have to prioritize mental stimulation."
Lindsey confirmed his next move, but just then, the turbulent undercurrent beneath the surface intensified.
Although Kruluru lacked clear thoughts, it instinctively obstructed and attacked as Lindsey approached, and the intensity of its attacks increased!
"Huh?"
The Puzzle Game highlighted this turbulent flow.
Lindsey noticed the danger underwater and quickly dodged to the side.
Boom!—
In an instant, Lindsey evaded the attack.
But the moment the current brushed past him, it exploded, creating a spiral vortex in the water.
"It can explode too?"
Lindsey didn't hesitate and exerted all his strength to escape the chaotic current.
It took only a breath or two.
All his clothes, centered around his left side, were torn into shreds, exposing his skin directly to the seawater.
"...”
Lindsey's expression turned serious.
This outcome wasn't due to his equipment's durability; instead, it was the result of the Data Form skill he had just activated.
As a true player, when attacked, his physical weaknesses were blurred in the data form state, making it appear as if he wasn't injured.
However, the health bar on his attribute panel told a different story.
After the attack, it had decreased by a full one-tenth! Especially since Lindsey had dodged the attack and quickly escaped the chaotic current.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Several more currents launched successive attacks in the dim underwater environment.
Although it was challenging to observe, Lindsey's intense focus, aided by the Nautilus Shell, allowed him to anticipate and dodge these attacks, avoiding the blood loss he had experienced earlier.
"...”
"Damn, I'm soloing a raid boss, and all its skills are targeting me?"
Lindsey cursed under his breath, forcing himself to remain calm and continue his battle analysis.
"Mental stimulation..."
This was Kruluru's primary weakness.
Lindsey's first thought was to use artistic performance, believing that a rousing performance could stimulate the collective will of the wraiths.
Lindsey looked back at the sea behind him.
Unfortunately, Wah Wah Wah was still too young, and Alarson was a painter.
It seemed neither of them could provide such assistance in battle.
Lindsey furrowed his brows:
"I'll have to rely on myself. Skills, equipment..."
While dodging the currents underwater, Lindsey simultaneously checked his own equipment.
The Enhanced Flaming Bottle, capable of burning underwater.
The recently crafted advanced equipment, the Lava Jet Sword.
The Indestructible Blade.
Even the deadly Ice Erosion Toxin used by mutated plants.
His gaze swept over these items one by one.
These pieces of equipment should all be effective against Krulu. But considering its massive size of several tens of meters, the effects would surely be diminished.
For something like this, would he have to use the Crimson Horn Mistletoe as a consumable, launching it as a one-time projectile?
"Hmm?"
Just then, Lindsey's eyes paused.
A sparkling blue gem in his portable bag caught his attention.
Blue Ocean Zircon
[A rare and precious jewel. The power of life essence, gathered from the ocean, flows within the gemstone, emitting an unmatched radiance. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare and valuable gem, worth a small fortune!]
[Two names were engraved inside the gemstone.
—Adores
—Lilian Danni]
"..."
"Krulu's consciousness is formed by the thoughts of the oceanic wraiths."
"And in this world, the oceanic wraiths are all fictional entities from stories!"
"A high-grade gemstone for one attempt?"
The possibility was right before him.
Lindsey's answer when faced with challenges remained unchanged.
He immediately began to mobilize his essence.
Puzzle Game → Sports Racing
Hunting Simulation → First-Person Shooter
The core RPG module remained unchanged.
Lindsey instantly switched to the other two mods.
He manipulated the essence within him, activating the explosive nature of life essence while also infusing it into the Professional Sports skill without hesitation.
Whoosh—
Lindsey's speed skyrocketed in an instant.
A fleeting white shadow darted through the pitch-black seawater.
He was like an arrow flying through the sea, his speed surpassing the surging water around him as he shot forward like a blade.
In Lindsey's hand, the blue gemstone glowed with an enchanting light.
400 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters...
50 meters—enough! In an instant, Lindsey burst through the dark seawater, his body soaring high above the ocean's surface.
He aimed the FPS's lock-on marker and threw the Blue Ocean Zircon with all his might.
This time, success was the only option!
Boom—!!!
Thunder rumbled across the dark sea, and the dim world momentarily brightened.
Lindsey's throwing and shooting silhouette was illuminated, revealing a majestic figure in the air, like a warrior from a seafaring tale challenging a sea monster.
"Ssssssss—"
On the dark sea, in contrast to the bright sky.
Krulu, who had remained unwavering and steadfast in its position, now revealed its true form.
It was a massive entity formed from deathly white mist.
Noticing the Blue Ocean Zircon hurtling towards it from mid-air, Krulu's mouthless body emitted a mournful shriek, its gender indistinguishable.
"Adores—!"
"Lilian Danni—!"
In that instant, Krulu's pale white form began to blur.
Within its body, a pale figure revealed a passage leading straight to its core, and it sucked the Blue Ocean Zircon into that core.
At the same time, the core formed by the condensation of chaotic malice also appeared.
"!"
Without hesitation, Lindsey drew the Indestructible Blade.
Lava adhered to the surface of the Lava Jet Sword, forming a spiral of crimson flames.
Lindsey aimed at the predicted attack trajectory from the FPS.
The power in his arm was such that it nearly shattered the surrounding seawater, and a stream of crimson heat shot out.
"You're my target—take this!"
