Witch Body Practical Combat

A few days later, on the west coast, at White Sail Cape.

After traveling for over a day, the group finally arrived near their destination in formation.

They didn't rush into action but rested for a while, ate and drank their fill, and then went to scout.

Roy followed them because he had only recently cultivated the Hair Ghost Witch Body.

He had been studying continuously for half a year.

Then came all sorts of preparations for refining potions, which alone cost a considerable amount in materials.

With all this back and forth, his opportunities to earn money decreased, while his expenses greatly increased.

If he didn't find a way to make some extra cash, he'd truly be poor enough to starve!

He also hoped that this adventuring mission would yield some rewards.

Taking advantage of the daylight, the team members climbed a small hill and lay down, observing from afar with binoculars. They saw about a hundred mermen active on the beach ahead.

"See? That more conspicuous one is their leader, a spellcaster among the mermen... a Merman Sorcerer!

The spell it masters is the 'Ice Cone Technique,' and its casting skills are very proficient, already mastering multi-shot volleys!"

Renion explained with lingering fear.

"If I hadn't been quick enough to escape last time, I probably would have been pinned like a pincushion!

There are also several elites among them, possibly possessing monster-like spell abilities. Ordinary people would be severely injured or even die horribly if they got hit!

The terrain nearby is also very open, not very conducive to a sneak attack."

Roy nodded, "Then we'll wait until dark."

As they talked, they discussed Molotov Cocktails, Healing Potions, crossbows and arrows, and other items.

They were determined to let these monsters taste the might of humans!

That night, the bright moon hung high, and the sky was chillingly cold.

The unsuspecting mermen, as usual, went into their caves to rest, leaving only a few patrols outside on guard.

The five people in the team acted together, easily and simply eliminating them.

During this time, Sailen used a magical item.

It was a valuable Mirage Orb, which could use spell-like power to cloak their figures, taking advantage of the darkness for cover, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

Only then did Roy realize why Renion had insisted on inviting her along.

This was truly an Apprentice who had latched onto Sophia's coattails, having been granted or temporarily lent many good things.

The group soon reached the cave entrance smoothly.

"Three, two, one... throw!"

Homemade Molotov Cocktails and Poison Gas Bottles were hurled one after another.

A moment later, the mermen rushed out of the cave in a chaotic mess. Before they could even breathe fresh air, they were shot down by crossbow bolts.

After successfully eliminating more than a dozen mermen, those who couldn't escape in time were suffocated to death by the poisonous smoke. Coupled with the collisions, trampling, and panicked scattering, they were essentially routed.

"Careful!"

Just then, several figures sprinted out, successfully rushing out of the cave before the group could react.

"That's the Merman Sorcerer and its guard!

Sailen, you hold it off first, we'll deal with the other mermen as quickly as possible!"

Renion urgently reminded them.

Sailen responded and once again drove the Mirage Orb, its mysterious illusion interfering with the Merman Sorcerer.

The others scattered and fled, drawing a distance on the moonlit beach to avoid being hit by the 'Ice Cone Technique.'

"We need to finish this quickly!"

Roy also drew away a few monsters, watching as several ferocious-looking creatures on the beach not far away charged forward with bone spears.

It was one of the elite warriors of the guard and several ordinary merman warriors.

From a distance, they resembled gnomes, with well-developed limbs, but were short in stature and displayed distinct fish-like characteristics.

These humanoid monsters had physiques similar to ordinary humans. The only threat to him was the elite warrior hidden among them.

It was noticeably taller than ordinary mermen, and even its scales were sky blue.

This was a mutation caused by magical corruption.

"This kind of monster might possess some kind of spell-like ability...

We can't let it use that power easily!"

Roy recalled the knowledge learned in his general studies class. It was highly likely to be a concentrated attack that gathered Magic Power, unleashing 2nd or 3rd-degree elemental damage in a short period.

Even ordinary Low-level Knights, or even Intermediate Knights, might not be able to withstand it head-on.

He dragged his longsword, walking faster and faster. Moments later, he was sprinting, then suddenly accelerated, using his momentum to slash his sword at the ordinary merman directly in front of him.

The enemy instantly dropped dead.

Roy drew his bloodied longsword and swung it with force.

At the same time, he quietly activated his newly refined Hair Ghost Witch Body. His hair suddenly grew wildly from his back, using the cover of night to harass his opponents.

Roy's current capital wasn't just his knightly physique, but also the witchcraft power brought by this "Animate" technique.

Using the elusive and tenacious iron wire to interfere, he felled enemies around him one after another in a short time. His ferocious display even froze the elite merman warrior in shock.

When it snapped back to its senses, the Hair Ghost Witch Body had already spread like tentacles to its feet.

Suddenly, the long hair, as if alive, gave a fierce tug.

Pfft!

The longsword also took the opportunity to stab forward, piercing its chest.

The elite warrior's eyes widened in disbelief before he was kicked away.

Blood gushed from where the sword had been.

The hair on Roy's back silently shortened, returning to normal.

Besides himself, no one knew what had just happened.

Normally, knights and warriors, besides having greater strength, endurance, and speed, were most proud of their skilled combat techniques.

But no mortal martial art could match the unpredictability of a witch body created by witchcraft.

Not to mention, mermen were already close to beasts.

So, in the blink of an eye, it was killed without any defense.

Roy, holding his iron sword, walked towards the other group's battle.

Not long after, everyone successively dealt with their opponents and regrouped with Sailen to launch the final encirclement on the monster boss.

Ultimately, and without suspense, they stabbed the monster boss to death with a flurry of swords.

"It's finally over!"

Renion let out a long sigh of relief.

The few of them had fluctuating breaths and unstable fluctuations in their mental strength, clearly having fought with all their might.

Andov had even taken a hit from a bone spear, leaving a hole in his left arm, blood dripping profusely.

Only Roy was the most relaxed; his current strength was clearly a notch above his companions.

While Andov was treating his wound, Roy and Renion examined the spoils of war together. First, they looked at the fishbone staff that the merman sorcerer had held.

Embedded at the very top was a white pearl the size of an egg, containing faint water-element magic power.

"We're rich... A magic pearl like this is priceless on the Old Continent, and even here, it's worth at least a thousand magic stones!"

Renion said with some excitement after a brief appraisal.

"And there are other gains too!"

Not long after, everyone dug out the merman sorcerer's heart and retrieved a fish pearl the size of a walnut from within.
