The Storm Recedes
The crimson flames shattered everything in their path.
Krullu was originally used as a channel to absorb the Azure Sea Zircon.
With the prediction of the [FPS] skill, it seems as if it was created just for this one strike!
Click—
In an instant, flames poured in, and the [Indestructible Blade] struck first despite being hit later.
The Azure Sea Zircon in the passage was instantly struck head-on by the oncoming sword blade, turning into shimmering, tear-like fragments.
Krullu's consciousness, formed from malice, also realized the danger at this moment.
It contracted its body, trying to mend and heal the passage.
However, it was too late.
The heavy, Indestructible Blade arrived in an instant, carrying terrifying power.
Before the gray-white mist could envelop and heal it, the crimson spiral lava and blue gem fragments pierced the center of the chaotic core.
creak—
Krullu's core emitted a strange sound.
The wills of the dead, forcibly twisted together by the rules, were pierced directly by the [Indestructible Blade] and scattered and collapsed under the scorching flames.
Boom!
The next second, a powerful storm erupted from the sea.
But this storm was not intended to attack Linsey.
Rather, it is the concept of natural disaster that constitutes Krullu's body that is spreading its power indiscriminately outward from it.
Linsey's body, high in the air, didn't even have time to fall back onto the water before it tilted backward in mid-air.
"This... is he dead?"
Linsey looked skeptical, so he immediately switched modules.
As expected, Krullu's kill count was added to the end of his information in the Hunting Notes.
What's even more encouraging is...
The number of legendary behemoth kills has also changed from 1/3 to 2/3.
"It would be better if he were dead."
Linsey breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he was too close to the storm, his health was reduced by 1/10 after he fell back into the water.
However, after feeling the water flowing around her body...
"Wait, my sword!"
Linsey didn't have time to check the harvest.
The Datafication body plunged into the sea and rushed directly beneath Krullu's body.
"My [Indestructible Blade] can't just be taken away like this!"
"Also, collect materials!"
Linsey plunged headlong into the raging sea.
He reacted quickly enough to retrieve the [Indestructible Blade] before it disappeared into the dark sea.
With another pat of his hand, Krullu's Prey Material were also collected.
"Plop—"
Linsey breathed a sigh of relief in the water.
He surfaced again and took stock of his spoils, starting with the reward items in his Hunting Notes.
[Curse: The Ocean Disaster]
[After use on the target, a powerful, permanent curse is applied, causing the target to frequently encounter natural disasters such as hurricanes, thunderstorms, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions whenever they are at sea.]
[An item never before seen on the market; its value is currently unknown.]
"..."
"A powerful curse? Who should use this?"
This was the first time Linsey had ever received such a trophy.
He continued swimming towards the surface of the sea and discovered a situation.
The intense shock caused by Krullu's death gradually subsided.
As the natural disaster subsided, the current in the large whirlpool in the dark sea gradually decreased.
They even looked up at the sky.
The sky, which was usually shrouded in dark clouds, began to clear up at this moment.
"So the strange phenomena on the ocean are all the result of Krullu's influence."
Linsey raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping down the kill rewards.
[Oddity/Material: Wronged Soul Core]
[When integrated into the body, there is a chance to transform the user's bloodline into that of a sea ghost, greatly extending lifespan, granting immunity to physical attacks and aging, but also making the user vulnerable to sunlight and unable to set foot on land; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare mutation, of moderate value.]
Just like the [Bloodthirsty Wood Core] she had obtained before, Linsey put the [Wronged Soul Core] into her bag.
He didn't, for the time being, shout "I'm not human anymore" and then have the idea of changing his bloodline.
Long live humanity!
Linsey muttered something under her breath and checked the synthesis formula as usual.
[1 Wronged Soul Core + 1 High-Grade Silk Thread + 1 Advanced Metal + 1 Special Metal = Styx Fishing Rod]
[1 Wronged Soul Core + 1 Invisible Blade = Ghost Sword]
[1 Wronged Soul Core + 3 Advanced Dark Gem + 2 Advanced Metal + 1 Breath of a Dead Soul = Soul Summoning Scepter]
"..."
Hey! Linsey.
At that moment, shouts came from the sea.
On the sea, where resentment gradually dissipates and sunlight shines down again.
That inconspicuous little boat, now the only moving object in the vicinity, was heading towards Linsey.
Little Wala Wala was still lying on the roof of the boat. She jumped up and waved her hands at Linsey:
"I saw it all!"
"You looked just now at sea, as handsome as a hero in ' Lu Wu '!"
"When we get back to the City of a Thousand Sails, I'm going to write this scene down again. Just wait until you're surrounded by countless fans in the store!"
"..."
"Please spare me."
Linsey's face was covered in cold sweat, and she quickly replied:
"Even if you're going to write my adventure stories, at least wait until we're ready to leave before publishing them, right?"
While greeting her companions, Linsey swam toward their small boat.
After climbing to the top of the boat, he tore off the strips of cloth covering his body and quickly found some clothes to change into.
At that moment, Ala Song also poked his head out of the cabin:
"Linsey, you really killed Krullu."
The one-armed painter looked somewhat bewildered, as if he were in a dream:
"That guy didn't show any Essence reaction."
"But judging from the storm it stirred up on the sea, it's at least Sixth Stage or higher being. Even if we exaggerate a bit, I wouldn't be surprised if it were Seventh Stage Dragon Beast..."
Ala Song has already witnessed the versatility of Linsey's abilities.
But faced with this feat of killing Krullu solo, he still felt it was too unreal.
Linsey began to explain:
"Actually, it's alright. That thing has a core. As long as you stimulate its mind in the right way, it will expose its weakness and then you can destroy the core."
"In short, our enemy has already..."
Linsey imagined that after defeating the boss and ending the adventure, she could chat with her companions for a bit.
Next, we discussed the plan to enter the seabed and find the true form of Wala Wala.
But just as he followed his wary habit and pulled up the map...
Linsey swallowed all her words.
"..."
Because at that moment, he checked the map and found that the huge Red Marker was still in place.
There is no doubt that Krullu is dead.
The numbers in the Hunting Notes and the materials Linsey has all prove this point.
Linsey looked silently down into the sea.
In the pitch-black sea, there seemed to be an even larger dark shadow floating upwards.
Great, there's one more thing below.
Did the Legendary Behemoth kill achievement go directly from 2/3 to 3/3 today?
Linsey, finding a bittersweet humor in her heart, quickly reminded her companion:
"Um, I have some bad news!"
"There's another big guy on the seabed, it seems like he's waiting for us to defeat him."
