But soon, his gaze sharpened, because Basil showed no signs of exhaustion; instead, her strength grew stronger with each passing moment. In the end, her entire body was glowing, her platinum-gold hair cascading in the air, dazzling and radiant, like a Valkyrie descending upon the world.
?
Luo Xiu remembered that Tata had told him about basil before he left.
"That child possesses immense power within her, because her origins are far from simple."
Tata said at the time:
"She is not from Kanriel. In fact, she is an orphan. It is said that she drifted from the River of Sorcerers and was found by a few alchemists from the Knights of the Order."
"Years passed and she grew up, but her appearance didn't change much, and her body remained the same, leading many to suspect that she had some other bloodline in her body."
"Most importantly, she used to be very indifferent. Remember what I told you? That's a typical characteristic of a divine species."
"It wasn't until later, under the guidance of the previous Grand Master of the Knights, that she gradually changed. She regarded the Grand Master as her father and Peter as her brother. Most importantly, the Grand Master told her that her biological parents were far away and that she had to leave this world to meet them."
“That’s the truth. She took it to heart, but the talent she showed was only good, not exceptional, and not even as good as Peter’s.”
"Only once did she erupt when she saw the old commander being bullied by people from the capital. The terrifying power she displayed was astounding and definitely did not belong to this world."
"But after that, the Knights tried many methods, but none of them could bring her back to that state."
"The old commander ultimately stopped the experiments, not wanting her to become a cold experimental subject. However, before he passed away, he left behind a final conjecture."
"Her strength may be related to her own emotions."
Looking at Luo Le's current state, Luo Xiu knew that the old commander's guess was correct; Luo Le's emotions were amplified under the influence of [Enslavement].
The amplified emotions associated with "enslavement" are undoubtedly related to oneself.
Luo Xiu raised an eyebrow.
He had no intention of using Basil's emotions, especially negative ones, to enhance her power, but if Basil truly possessed the bloodline of another creature, it meant there was a possibility of enhancement.
Leila and Tassanya have both proven that adding points can enhance their bloodline, even surpassing their original bloodline.
This is undoubtedly good news.
At the same time, he was once again impressed by the power of the universal skill. When facing the mushroom monster and Lucas, this state of Basil did not appear, but now it appeared because of [Enslavement].
On the sea surface, the attack of the two fifth-tier water lizards was completely halted by the appearance of Basil's divine state, and there was even a situation where Basil chased after the two water lizards by himself.
She went completely berserk, her eyes bloodshot. Perhaps it was because she had never experienced love before, but now she was like a young girl experiencing first love. The thought of Luo Xiu filled her with incredibly complex emotions, a mix of feelings, and she bit her lower lip as she smashed things wildly.
Finally, grayish-green blood began to seep from the skin of the two fifth-tier swamp lizards, their heads bleeding profusely from the beating.
They too went mad, unwilling to die such a humiliating death, roaring and speaking in the language of the Gran Continent:
"Damn humans!!! Die!!!"
A violent surge of magic erupted, and waves swept around them, eventually forming a giant sphere that enveloped their bodies.
Their originally grayish-green skin turned a brilliant blue in the seawater, and their strength and speed were greatly enhanced. Their massive bodies seemed to have grown even larger, colliding with the iron hammer in Basil's hand, and spewing out water cannons like water dragons from their mouths, which surged toward the divine phantom summoned by Novamp on the ferry.
At the same time, the mermaids sang loudly in the sea, and layers of magic circles appeared. Giant waves surged in all directions around the ferry, and most of the seawater at the bottom of the ferry was pumped away, sinking into the depression in the center of the giant waves, threatening to completely swallow the ferry.
The terrifying scene terrified everyone on deck; once the ferry was swallowed by the sea, it would be too late.
The seeded players on the deck all took action, and some seeded players who had never fought monsters before stood on the deck and used ranged skills to try to stop the giant wave from crashing in.
Liss summoned a vortex radiating fantastical light, a skill she hadn't used in her battle with Tassanya. Frost, fire, prophecy, amplification, space, stars, rocks... all sorts of magic surged out of the fantastical vortex and flew toward the right side of the ferry.
That was the area under the jurisdiction of Elijah, Lord, and Red-haired Myriel. Faced with the approaching giant wave, although they were panicked, they were still calmly blocking the monster's attack, but they really couldn't spare any more attention to block the giant wave.
The sixth prince, Gais, stepped out, his red cloak billowing behind him. A phantom crown floated above his head, and his hands materialized into two red bandages wrapped around his arms and palms.
He slowly stepped back, assumed a punching stance, and threw a punch towards the left side of the ferry. A violent sonic boom rang out, and the phantom of a giant lion burst forth from between his hands, roaring as it charged towards the boundless waves.
[NO.12, King of Boxers, Gus]
To the left of the ferry were Peggy, Kado, and Jovi. This was the place with the most people in Kanriel, and also the direction from which the monsters attacked the most. When they felt the attack that Gais had unleashed, their eyes flashed with amazement. Even though this sixth prince was not very likable, his strength was beyond doubt.
As for the giant wave behind, it was Tassanya after her dragon transformation, her fists covered in blazing flames as she punched the towering wave, causing water vapor to rise everywhere.
Of course, even though everyone tried their best, apart from Leila in front who managed to disperse the giant wave with her massive body, the other three directions could only hinder the giant wave.
After all, the mermaid who unleashed the giant wave had already reached the fifth level, and even if everyone tried their best, they couldn't contend with it.
Luo Xiu held the mermaid by the neck and watched this scene quietly.
He didn't let the mermaid in his hand cast a spell, which was equivalent to him exchanging one for one with the mermaid.
Could he escape his predicament without himself and a mermaid? He released his magic, sensing the surrounding sea to make sure there were no hidden enemies lying in ambush, while his heart pounded slightly.
Regardless of whether the group can escape their predicament, he is about to make his move. The mermaid beside him has not used her skills and will definitely be discovered; he can no longer hide it.
Just as the three giant waves were about to completely submerge the ferry, Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because Lei pulled it.
Her two incredibly thick claws grabbed the front of the ferry, and her feet slammed together, her massive body actually dragging the ferry away from the direction where the giant waves had already been dispersed, out of the encirclement of the other three giant waves.
"Roar----"
Where no one could see, her eyes gleamed with determination.
The owner said she had to protect everyone on the ferry, and she was determined to do so.
Anyone who witnessed this scene would surely be awestruck.
The dark sky seemed about to collapse, and beneath the curtain of torrential rain and gale, a colossal bear, reaching for the sky, dragged a massive ferry through endless waves.
Coincidentally, there were indeed people watching.
"These little rascals are quite cunning, don't you think?"
A burly man with a thick beard looked at the battlefield and spoke.
In fact, his ship was quite far from the battlefield, but with his eyesight, he could clearly see everything.
"really."
An elderly man with a goatee put down his specially made binoculars and slowly spoke.
"What the hell is that white bear? I've never seen it before. Have you ever seen it?"
The burly man seemed to respect the old man, and although he spoke rather crudely, he was still very respectful in front of him.
The old man's goatee twitched as he adjusted his right monocle and said softly:
"I've seen it."
“I’ve not only met her, but I’ve also met the people who made her who she is.”
Chapter 225 Rovanpu's First Battle 3
"The one who made her?"
The burly man with a thick beard was taken aback:
"You mean this giant bear was created by humans? Damn it, what kind of big shot could create such a monster?!"
Upon hearing the burly man utter the word "boss," White's lips, hidden beneath his pale beard, curled up for a fleeting moment. He didn't answer directly, but instead slowly said:
"We should be there soon. You'll know when we get there."
"Alright, I'd like to see what kind of person you've kept a secret from."
The burly man turned around and shouted to the crew behind him:
"Speed up to maximum!! Pour the coins into the converter!! Damn it, isn't the point of making money to spend it?! Don't try to save any, or I'll kick you if you do!"
"See those royal ships behind us? Get them behind us and let them eat our asses! For every kilometer we leave them behind, my salary doubles today!"
……
Luo Xiu watched as Leila dragged the ferry out of the giant waves. In the end, the three towering waves only wet a corner of the ferry's stern before turning into a mist of water under Tassanya's blazing fire.
I was deeply moved.
If he had to pick the best thing he'd ever done since arriving in this other world, it would definitely be buying Leila.
From that rainy night to the night watch of the Knights of Kanriel, and then to facing the Demon Bat Cave, she always treated the tasks assigned to her as the most important thing and did her best to accomplish them.
Even without being enslaved, she has proven time and again that she is his best choice.
For some reason, he has been increasingly restless lately, and he often dreams at night that a figure in a white dress is telling him to go find her.
The figure stood barefoot on a boundless expanse of white land, the folds of her white dress fluttering gently in the breeze. But as Luo Xiu walked forward in his dream, the figure vanished into the distance.
Leave only one sentence.
"time is limited."
At first, Luo Xiu thought it was just an accidental dream, but later the dream kept recurring, making him realize that something was wrong.
time is limited……
Luo Xiu's thoughts drifted, as if he remembered many things, but when he tried to examine them closely, he couldn't grasp them clearly, like looking at flowers through a fog.
In the end, he calmed himself down and decided that since he couldn't remember, he might as well stop thinking about it.
If one can reach the seventh or even eighth rank, most problems will be easily solved.
Sensing that the lizards below were wondering why their mermaids weren't summoning waves, Luo Xiu tightened his grip and snapped the neck of the mermaid next to him.
In her final moments, the mermaid attempted to resist. A deep blue light emanated from between her gray-green scales, and the surrounding ocean seemed to be summoned, as if it were about to leap up. Her body also glowed with a soft light, as she tried to block Luo Xiu's attack.
But soon, her gray pupils suddenly contracted, her dead fish eyes filled with horror, and an inexplicable power entered her body, causing her magic power, physical strength, and even spirit to drop significantly.
Luo Xiu's hand was like a suddenly tightening iron clamp, instantly snapping the fragile neck completely.
As blood gushed out, a system notification sounded in his ear:
[Host has slain the songstress, Mermaid, earning +500 points]
In fact, from the very beginning of the battle, Luo Xiu had been hearing system notifications:
[Host's main subordinates have slain the Singer Mermaid, Points +100]
[Host's main subordinate slays the bard mermaid, points +20]
[Host's main servants slay the flood-covered giant lizard, points +100]
