The imba healing effect clearly indicates the passive activation of the Blood Mist Butcherâs [Slaughterhouse]. For this terrifying Enhanced Leader, a group battle is merely offering free food.
However, the octopus-headed one summoned these monsters simply to gain casting space for himself.
He quickly retreated a few steps, swung the Water Vine Staff again, and a sphere of chilling cold shot out, spreading beneath the Blood Mist Butcherâs feet, transforming into a white slowing zone.
Clearly, the octopus-headed oneâs combat experience is extremely rich. After the Blood Mist Butcher appeared, he quickly discerned that this Enhanced Leaderâs weakness is speed.
Thus, he began by restraining the Blood Mist Butcherâs movement speed. The enhanced cold domain made the Blood Mist Butcherâs steps difficult, then he proceeded with ordinary Ice Elemental Basic Magic.
Ordinary ice blades shot out from the tip of the Water Vine Staff one after another.
And as the ice blades were launched, the octopus-headed one would slightly rotate his wrist, additionally drawing a complicated circular spell pattern, making the ice blades shoot out in a high-speed spinning posture!
Though it didnât increase frost damage, it was imbued with a powerful impact, akin to bullets! Clearly some potent Combat Specialization special effect.
In the slowing field, the Blood Mist Butcher was already moving with difficulty. The ice blades, containing strong spiral impact, pushed him back little by little, often advancing two or three small steps forward, only to be forced a large step back! Nearly moving in place.
However, the Blood Mist Butcherâs skin was thick and flesh dense; the ice blades could only penetrate the skin and flesh, unable to pose a life-threatening risk.
The octopus-headed oneâs use of the Water Vine Staffâs basic ice magic also required the consumption of Spiritual Power! The situation now was a tug-of-war, waiting to see whether the octopus-headed one would run out of Spiritual Power first, or if the Blood Mist Butcher would fall first.
From Bai Puâs perspective, it seemed that the Blood Mist Butcher would laugh last.
Of course, the octopus-headed one probably only needed to guard the Space-Time Node for a whileâthis was Bai Puâs inference based on his own mission to destroy the Otherworld Space-Time Node within 120 minutes, so delaying tactics wasnât unacceptable for the octopus-headed one!
He also waited, for the other two Otherworld Travelers to finish off Mad Rhino Luz and assist him.
However, this fragile balance was instantly disrupted.
Bai Pu brushed off the ice shards on his body, standing lithely in the octopus-headed oneâs incredulous gaze!
Taking advantage of the Blood Mist Butcher holding the octopus-headed one back, Bai Pu crossed two steps to the Space-Time Node and raised the Long Saber!
One slash, two slashes, three slashes...
Bai Pu, who mastered "Wind-Seeking," could fully trigger the dual saber special effect with each slash on this stationary wooden stake, with an astonishingly high efficiency!
As the Otherworld Space-Time Node was slashed, its Durability quickly dropped, and one side of the triangular pyramidâs glowing triangle dimmed!
A few Lobster People and Crab People bypassed the Blood Mist Butcher, rushing toward Bai Pu! The Poisonous Frog Group also shifted their attack target.
It turned out, at the critical moment, the octopus-headed one dispatched his summoned monsters to stop him. He even left only two elite creatures to hold the Blood Mist Butcher, striving to take out Bai Pu first and then safeguard the Space-Time Node.
Bai Pu glanced at the weapons of the Lobster People and Crab People, such as knives, forks, and pincers, as well as the tongue attacks of the Poisonous Frogs, expressionlessly switching the Adaptive Evolution to Scaly Skin.
Then, disregarding everything else, he swung the Long Saber, continuing to attack the Space-Time Node.
The summoned ocean creaturesâ attacks landed on Bai Puâs body, causing no pain or itchiness. They couldnât even make Bai Puâs body shake violently or affect his output!
The octopus-headed one let out a roar like one from the deep sea!
Outside the workshop, footsteps sounded, and the other two Otherworld Travelers quickly rushed to aid. While Mad Rhino Luz, who had been heavily suppressed, had already only one-third or so of his Life Value left, he chose to follow up instead of fleeing.
"Itâs lively, isnât it."
Suddenly, Crazy Zenâs voice echoed, he finally arrived!
But his other two teammates were nowhere to be seen, probably because Crazy Zen specialized in Agility, being fast enough, while the two teammates didnât catch up in time.
"Stop those two Otherworld Travelers," Bai Pu immediately said.
Crazy Zen glanced at the Space-Time Node, waved his hand, shooting out a Sleeve Arrow, hitting the Space-Time Node, and grazed a little contribution, then smiled and said, "No problem!"
Crazy Zen clasped his hands, and two miniature Flood Dragon Qi Forces coiled around his wrists, charging like a furious dragon towards the two Otherworld Travelers.
Bai Pu continued to attack the Space-Time Node. The octopus-headed one was both startled and angered, the bare gelatinous head flushing red.
He roared, and a fine crack appeared on the Water Vine Staff with a "crack"!
A sphere of Enhanced Void Ice Spike formed abruptly, transforming into a white comet shooting towards Bai Pu! Inside the comet, a bit of the Water Vine Staffâs tip was encased.
The octopus-headed one was desperate, willing to damage his own staff to stop Bai Pu!
The answer to him was a heavy Large Shield engraved with a beautiful Human-faced Demon Spider pattern.
With a loud bang, the white comet hit the Large Shield, rapidly turning the Shield and the Shield-bearing Bai Pu into a solid ice sculpture!
The fierce pushing force even overwhelmed [Heavy Armor Mastery] and other resilience resistances, forcing Bai Puâs solid ice sculpture to slide back over ten meters, leaving a snow-white ice trail on the ground!
Then, in the next second, a despairing scene unfolded for the octopus-headed one, as that ice sculpture cracked with a sound from the inside and exploded into a skyful of ice crystals.
"That was close, almost a Shield Breaker."
On Bai Puâs body surface, there was a thin layer of Blood Shield, which dispersed as Blood-colored Energy.
He knew the Shield couldnât block magic, only reducing its "impact force." Of course, Bai Pu wielded the Spider Demon Tower Shield also for the 12% Damage Reduction provided by a +4 Special Effect.
At the same time, Bai Pu also switched to the Cold Body and activated [Unstable Shield]!
Under multiple reductions, this desperate enhanced Void Ice Spike only "nearly broke" the Unstable Shield.
Subsequently, Bai Pu chose to detonate the remaining Shield Value, blasting apart the ice layer covering him. He shook off the ice shards, striding toward the Space-Time Node, and amidst the octopus-headed oneâs despairing wail, he raised the Long Saber highâ
Sishing!
The triangular pyramid-shaped Space-Time Node scattered on the ground, transforming into a stream of light blue Spiritual Particles, dissipating into this world.
[Cleaner Task: Clearing the Otherworld Space-Time Node has been completed.]
[You have received an Honor item: Black Iron Medal.]
[You have been granted the rank: Corporal. Current Honor Points: 60/100.]
[Based on your rank, you have activated the language translation function for Stilan Star.]
Time was urgent, Bai Pu didnât have the chance to examine the Black Iron Medal and planned to deal with the two close combat types of Otherworld Travelers with Crazy Zen first.
As for the battle between the octopus-headed one and the Blood Mist Butcher, Bai Pu had no intention of getting involvedâlet alone mentioning how troublesome the octopus-headed one was, the Blood Mist Butcher wasnât a friendly creature, as this powerful Mutant monster definitely couldnât distinguish between friend and foe.
However, the moment the Otherworld Space-Time Node was destroyed, the battle was already over.
Blue energy streams burst from the three Otherworld travelers at once! Among them, the two weaker close combat Otherworld Travelersâ bodies disintegrated quickly, as if erased by an invisible rubber, leaving no trace.
Only the powerful octopus-headed one shrieked at the sky in an obscure language.
The obscure language reached Bai Puâs ears, automatically translating into understandable Chinese, with perfectly mimicked tones.
Clearly, the new Corporal rank Bai Pu received enabled him to understand the language of the octopus-headed oneâs planet.
The octopus-headed one said...
"No! I shouldnât be eradicated, I, âMo Shate,â blessed by the great Musulu, have the right to survive, as long as I pass the punishment of the Path to the Abyss!"
The blue energy stream wrapped around and encircled, the octopus-headed oneâs figure gradually faded and disappeared. Before disappearing, those golden eyes still glared at Bai Pu, filled with undisguised hatred and determination for revenge!
