Chapter 548 - 548: Kraken, a New Move (2)
The originally crimson eyes became even more vibrant as if they were about to radiate a red glow.
You despicable human, you’ve actually summoned elemental creatures!
In that case, it shall summon as well!
The Kraken ignored the elemental water dragon’s attacks. Instead, its tentacles delved into the shattered space rift behind it, churning it vigorously. Over time, this caused a rift to emerge near the water’s surface, measuring tens of meters in width and more than ten meters in height.
A multitude of sea creatures poured out of the rift.
Ji Chen’s eyes showed some surprise. There were actually such methods?
The Kraken waved its tentacles to maintain the creation of the rift. Under the web-like cracks that filled the sky, hundreds of sea creatures rushed forward with bared teeth and claws, while Ji Chen faced them alone.
This scene resembled a legendary mural, depicting a lone hero confronting evil.
However, he was not alone.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, a shower of arrows appeared, falling down in torrents and piercing through hundreds of sea creatures instantly.
It was Alice and her team, who had returned to support. Following the arrow shower were spells and lightning bolts, shining like shooting stars as they fell into the surging sea creature horde, bursting like fireworks.
Flesh and blood splattered, and the seawater was dyed red in an instant.
Immediately afterward, other melee units rushed into the battlefield, dealing death to the enemy with their weapons.
“Lord, we’ve come back to support you!”
Alice hurried over and immediately used her singing to incite over a thousand sea creatures to rebel and attack their own kind.
Ji Chen nodded and wasted no time.
“Alice, Benbo, leads the army to engage the sea creatures.
Anina, Herald, assist me in attacking this giant octopus.”
Anina nodded, facing the epic-tier Kraken, she didn’t dare to underestimate it. This was the most formidable enemy she had ever faced in her life, but she felt no fear in her heart. In an instant, she transformed into a giant whale and charged forward.
Herald also vibrated his wings and flew towards it. As a raging bloodline of the deep-sea Naga, he felt no fear.
Because it needed to maintain the spatial rift, the Kraken could only summon four of its tentacles to counterattack. Anina, transformed into a giant whale, was about forty to fifty meters long, and even relative to the massive body of the Kraken, she didn’t appear small at all.
After dodging the first wave of fierce attacks, she quickly clamped her bloodthirsty jaws onto the tentacle’s break point. Her bone-crushing teeth penetrated the protective scales, sinking deep into the flesh and continuously tearing and shaking.
The intense pain from the tentacle made the Kraken roar in anger, trying to shake off the giant whale’s bite by swinging it around.
However, the giant whale seemed as if it was firmly anchored and couldn’t be shaken off no matter how hard it tried. The Kraken had no choice but to use another tentacle to strike.
The giant whale felt as though it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and with a painful groan, it released its grip. The tentacle that had been bitten was almost severed, with only a small portion still attached. However, the damaged part was visibly regenerating at an astonishing speed, and it wouldn’t be long before it healed completely.
Just as the Kraken was about to continue its attack on the giant whale, Herald, who had circled around to the side, launched an attack. He flashed like a streak of blue light, leaving several deep wounds on the tentacle.
Utilizing his advantage of flight, Herald agilely maneuvered between the three remaining tentacles, leaving behind a trail of wounds.
The Kraken was both shocked and furious. Since it had ascended to the epic level, it had never been in such a sorry state before.
The blood within its body boiled like boiling water, and immense power surged from its several hearts. The wounds on its tentacles rapidly healed, and its strength increased several times over.
The Kraken seized the opportunity when Herald was about to launch another attack. Its tentacle swiftly struck, sending Herald flying like a ball.
This strike contained terrifying power, enough to shatter an iceberg.
Even with Herald’s formidable constitution, he still suffered fractures in more than a dozen bones and coughed up a large amount of blood, looking dejected.
The giant whale, Anina, emerged from underwater, intending to bite once more, but her body was bound by the Kraken’s four tentacles. The suction cups on the tentacles’ teeth deeply pierced her body, releasing a massive amount of paralyzing toxin and sucking her blood.
The giant whale let out a mournful cry. Although the paralyzing toxin had little effect on her due to her bloodline, a large amount of blood was being sucked away, and her strength was dwindling rapidly. Thousands of sharp teeth continued to tear into her flesh as if she had been thrown into a meat grinder.
It was as if her body was being constantly cut by a thousand sharp blades.
At this moment, several streaks of blue light suddenly flashed, cutting through the tentacles that had bound the giant whale, and she quickly escaped to a safe distance. She reverted to her human form, covered in injuries, her face pale as snow.
“Lord, I…”
Anina looked at the Lord, a hint of self-blame and fear flashing in her eyes.
Ji Chen shook his head and said, “You both rest for now. I will deal with it.”
Anina and Herald’s performances were within his expectations. After all, one was a Red-Legacy Tier and the other an Orange-Legend Tier, which were far inferior to the already Epic Tier Kraken.
Tier was an important factor in determining strength, and the gap in power between two tiers was quite substantial. Moreover, both of them were of lower levels than the Kraken, making the difference even more pronounced.
Ji Chen’s expression turned solemn as he suddenly activated his Domain.
[Ocean Domain (Golden skill, can expand a domain with a radius of eight hundred meters, reducing all enemy attributes within the domain by 0-90%, the effect depends on the difference in strength between enemies and the user, reducing 50% physical and magical damage, reducing 50% mana consumption; the domain can absorb nearby water sources, forming a suspended water domain in the air).]
His primary profession had evolved into an Epic Tier, and the Tidal Dominator, which was Orange Tier, had evolved into the Golden Tier Ocean Dominator. The domain instantly covered the Kraken with a radius of eight hundred meters.
“Ding- The Ocean Domain envelops the enemy: North Sea Monster Kraken, reducing its attributes by 30%.”
The immense power of the domain directly stripped away 25% of the Kraken’s attributes, equivalent to weakening it by almost a third. This effectively compensated for the power difference between the two sides due to their levels and even tilted the balance in favor of Ji Chen.
Feeling his body and strength suddenly weaken significantly, the Kraken’s crimson eyes showed a look of shock.
This… a domain?
This human actually possessed the power of a domain!?
It couldn’t be, absolutely impossible!
Even it, the Kraken, didn’t have a domain. How could this human possess one?
Even though the Kraken’s mind was not mature, at this moment, it felt jealousy towards humans.
Fueled by anger and jealousy, it retracted the four tentacles that were maintaining the spatial rift. The rift was instantly repaired by the power of the Mystic Realm, and some sea beasts that were caught in the middle were instantly split into two, with one part inside and the other outside.
The Kraken churned its massive body and swung its eight tentacles wildly, intent on tearing this human apart on the spot.
However, when the Kraken voluntarily entered the domain and didn’t retreat, its fate had already been sealed.
Ji Chen raised his hand and, with the domain’s enhancement, easily condensed thousands of water-based weapons. They fell like a shower of rain, easily penetrating the Kraken’s previously impenetrable scales, sinking deep into its flesh like silver needles.
The Kraken screamed in agony but showed no intention of stopping, instead putting all its effort into using its bloodline power to repair its injuries.
However, the water-based weapons that had entered its body didn’t dissipate. They remained lodged in its flesh like thorns in the throat.
Ji Chen watched as the Kraken charged towards him without regard for its own safety and lightly snapped his fingers.
Bang-
Bang—
A series of crisp and short explosions rang out, and blue blood mist burst from the Kraken’s body. Milky-white chunks of flesh tumbled, and its body was covered in craters.
Those water-based weapons that remained inside its body became small explosives, constantly exploding within its body.
When the commotion subsided, the Kraken had already collapsed onto an iceberg, no longer capable of launching an attack. Its alluring blue blood spread on the icy surface.
Ji Chen slowly revealed a smile.
This was a new technique he had developed after absorbing the power of the ocean. He infused mana into the water-based weapons, then detonated the mana when they penetrated the enemy’s body, causing massive damage.
The Kraken had become the first victim of this technique..
