Slayer Transformation
Killer Whale are the apex predators of the ocean.
Their diet even includes great white sharks, and apart from mutated Ocean Monster, few marine creatures can threaten their existence. Within the ocean, even Shark-man and Naga do not easily provoke Killer Whale. Although their CR is only Tier 2, their adult size can reach about 10 meters. A small number of Killer Whale even prey on sharks and Kuo-toa, and they possess a high level of animal intelligence.
If a small group of Killer Whale dares to confront Large Octopus head-on, then this one could easily take on the Ocean Monster alone.
Soren's figure remained suspended in mid-air.
The enormous Killer Whale capsized most of the fast ships, and even Warship were shaken by its impact. Pirates on deck attacked it, but their arrows and projectiles only pierced its skin and lodged in its blubber. Large Creature are born with a base Hit Points of 12 points, and even after deducting all biological traits, it still had Hit Points close to that of a third-tier Barbarian. Soren probably felt that the Killer Whale was still useful and did not let it be consumed by the enemy's attacks.
The Killer Whale gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Seawater reduced the power of arrows and projectiles, and it began to hunt down those unfortunate souls that fell into the ocean.
Panic ensued on the deck.
However, under the Narwhal's command, the gunners took their positions. Most pirates were involved in Alchemy weapons, but their level was only equivalent to that of the 19th century. Advanced Alchemy Craft were rarely widespread, and various powers would not allow pirates to possess such dangerous weapons, as they could be used to attack cities. Soren's target was the Narwhal before him, a Toughness Warrior, but he seemed to have some special bloodline, his skin even wrinkled like Merfolk's.
Half-breed Human.
Pirates are a group of people who love to try things that are forbidden, Narwhal in front of them has some marine intelligent creature blood.
The other party was quite alert.
After Soren disappeared, he warily surveyed his surroundings, his hands gripping his weapon tightly. This was a high-level professional, around level 16. Although he hadn't reached the Legendary Domain, he was still a very troublesome enemy. His combat experience was extensive, and he was constantly aware of his surroundings. It seemed he had previous experience dealing with invisible enemies. [Knowledge (Creature): Kuo-toa can See Invisibility.]
Legendary Professional are scattered.
Among pirates, only the Pirate King of various seas have reached the Legendary Domain, so as long as Soren can kill the Narwhal in front of him, these enemies will be almost completely routed.
Clatter
A very slight noise.
The sound of Soren landing on the deck was quickly drowned out by the pirates' panic. He glanced around briefly, then controlled the Killer Whale to ram the pirate ship from the seabed. The ship immediately rocked, and Soren seized the opportunity to move at high speed, circling around to the enemy's back. His scimitar Scimitar with an invisible light, instantly piercing the Narwhal's heart.
Clang!
Soren's figure was slightly revealed.
The opponent wore ordinary clothes on the outside, but underneath he was surprisingly wearing a thin Tungsten Steel Armor. Pirates rarely wore heavy armor due to the nature of their battles. This was mainly because combat on a ship required jumping ability, and swimming in the sea while wearing armor was extremely difficult. This Tungsten Steel Armor seemed to be Supernatural Equipment, belonging to the type of Half-plate, with protective capabilities almost comparable to Full Plate Armor. As the pirate leader of Serpent Island, Narwhal's equipment seemed quite impressive.
"Go to hell!"
As soon as Soren's figure revealed even a trace, the Narwhal roared. Instantly pinpointing his location, it swung its longsword in a horizontal slash, creating a crescent-shaped blade of light. The attack was powerful and relentless; once it locked onto Soren's position, it unleashed a barrage of blows, giving him no chance whatsoever. Even when other pirates were in its path, the Narwhal didn't hesitate, hacking them down without batting an eye. The pirate blocking its path died with his eyes wide open in fury, instantly severed at the waist by the Narwhal, gushing blood and intestines splattering everywhere, leaving only faint footprints.
"Haha! You can't escape now!"
The Narwhal didn't understand why a Wizard would engage it in close combat, but it knew its chance to kill him had arrived.
He actually let out a roar and suddenly started spinning.
--"Improved Sunder!"
"Cleave!"
The Narwhal's attacks weren't limited to Soren; he also slaughtered his nearby subordinates. More and more blood splattered onto the deck, and Soren's footprints from his high-speed movement became increasingly clear. Although his Greater Invisibility was still active, the blood had given him away; it was impossible for him to step on blood without leaving a trace.
--"Sword Momentum: Tidal Slash!"
The relentless attacks left Soren with nowhere to hide, while also frightening the other pirates into keeping their distance, seemingly afraid of dying unjustly at the hands of their Boss. The Narwhal seemed to have activated some Spell-like Ability; he might have also taken on other low-level professions, or it might be due to a Spell attack brought about by his bloodline. With each slash of his blade, a tidal surge of energy appeared, which seemed to be a special ability of the Kuo-toa Warrior.
Ding ding ding!
With nowhere left to retreat, Soren suddenly raised his twin swords to block the enemy's attack.
At the same time, a trace of his figure was revealed.
Soren silently observed his enemy, seemingly surprised that his opponent would force him to reveal himself in this way. This was indeed a formidable opponent. The immense force transmitted through the blade sent Soren sliding backward on the deck. As he stomped on the cabin door, his figure gradually became semi-transparent, the effects of his Greater Invisibility Spell.
A volley of crossbow bolts flew over.
Soren's skin was covered with a layer of Stoneskin at a visible speed, then he let out a low shout, bent over, and sprang into the air, flying about ten meters into the air.
He was surrounded by the enemy!
The pace of the battle seemed to be getting out of control, and Soren realized that even when fighting dozens of enemies alone, unexpected events could still occur.
Taking on a group by oneself is indeed a very dangerous thing!
but.
The unexpected event was still under his control.
All that could be seen was Soren taking a deep breath in mid-air, and when he opened his eyes, his pupils had turned blood red. His bones crackled and popped, and his entire body seemed to have swelled up. His strong, muscular body resembled Marble sculpture, and even while levitating, he managed to twist and swing his sword at an approaching enemy.
Thump!
A corpse was cleaved diagonally from shoulder to waist, and when the Legendary Scimitar Icetail was sheathed, there was a slight frost on the body.
--"Slayer Form!"
The instant Soren Change Shape the Slayer, Vivian suddenly levitated in the distance, still seemingly asleep. However, a strange tattoo appeared on her profile, her beautiful long hair danced in the wind, and she was enveloped by an incredibly powerful energy field. Everything in the room floated up in a bizarre manner, and her petite body remained suspended in mid-air, a sinister smile playing on her lips.
--"Whirlwind Attack!"
In Slayer Form, Soren's strength was boosted to 20 points and his agility to 25 points. He was practically a Slaughter machine. His Scimitar flashed with cold light, and his semi-transparent figure, shrouded in a hazy afterimage, moved at incredible speed, leaving only a trail of afterimages. This was an ability only Legendary Rogue possessed; 25 points of Superhuman Dexterity was Legendary- level agility stat, Slayer Form provided him with a total of 10 attribute bonuses—equivalent to 20 free attribute points of a class level.
Fifteen seconds!
As Soren swung his sword at the Narwhal before him, there were already six corpses behind him, half of them decapitated and the other half cut in half at the waist.
This kind of Sword Momentum attack definitely requires strength to support it!
Ding ding ding!
The Narwhal, who had initially forced Soren to retreat, was now filled with terror. All he could see were faint flashes of light, barely perceptible to the naked eye; his opponent's strength was now nearly equal to his own, but his agility completely overwhelmed him. If it weren't for his Transcendent Tier Tungsten Steel Armor, the Narwhal would likely have been gutted in the first round of attacks. But now, his injuries were rapidly multiplying; there were still many areas unprotected by his armor, and he had already sustained five wounds from parrying.
A series of documents suddenly appeared:
"Launch Decapitation Attack!"
"Decapitation strike successful!... Target dead!... You have gained some insights from the battle!..."
"You have obtained partial information on [Sword Momentum: Decapitation]."
"Initiate a waist-severing attack!"
"Severed in half successfully!... Target dead!... You have gained some insights from the battle!..."
"You have obtained partial information on [Sword Momentum: Waist Slash]."
"Block successful!"
"You've gained some insights during the battle. You've acquired partial information about the [Two-Weapon Defense] Feat."
"Combat Realization!"
"Through repeated battles and Slaughter, you have gradually mastered some of the techniques of [Two-Weapon Fighting]."
"When you've accumulated enough skills, you'll discover new areas of Feat."
Ding ding ding!
In his Slayer Form, Soren was virtually unstoppable. While attacking the Narwhal at high speed, he also reaped the Hit Points of nearby pirates. In just a short time, more than ten corpses lay around him. The Narwhal before him was covered in blood; although the wounds weren't fatal thanks to his armor, they had still left him Heavy Injury Condition. The Narwhal gasped for breath, his eyes filled with despair and fear, for he realized his enemy was a near -Legendary Domain expert—someone he had absolutely no hope of winning against!
--"Sword Momentum: Whirlwind Dance!"
Soren suddenly darted forward, spinning at an astonishing speed—the very move Adele Isabel had used. As his Scimitar, Icetail, flashed with cold light, the Narwhal's head flew into the air before crashing to the ground with a thud. Soren's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He kicked the headless corpse away, then revealed a Blood Frenzy smile before turning to look at the other pirates.
Thump!
It's unclear who knelt down first, but then pirates followed suit, throwing down their weapons. Their eyes were filled with terror and fear as they trembled under Soren's gaze, kneeling on the deck and burying their heads deep in the ground.
They were scared.
They were terrified. (To be continued~^~)
