Chapter 124: The Courage to Gamble Your Life
The pure white clay creature dangled from its robes, and Kaye tossed it as fast as he could into the tentacles of the giant deep-diving octopus. This slush monster summoned from the frost sub-elemental plane was different from the thick and sticky black pudding monster on Kaye's body, like a rolling cloud of snow dust, light and lively, rolling extremely fast, and scattered ice crystals floating out of the surface that glittered in the air.
Pure wild mud monsters have not been domesticated, and it is not clear which ones are edible and which are not. The instinct that drives it, and the first reaction of the slush monster when it touches the flesh is to eat.
The octopus's long tentacle that sucked into the floor slab was wrapped in it, and it quickly froze and formed frost flowers. The squid flicked its tentacles and tried to shake it off, but with a click, its long, crispy tentacles snapped. One of the four tentacles was missing, and the octopus's body suddenly fell.
The slush monster lay on its broken tentacle and fell straight into the octopus's palate. The mouth of the palate opened wide, and the slush monster was bitten off with a single click.
Kaye smiled silently, clay creatures are theoretically very unsuitable as summons for combat, they have no intelligence, they are not friend or foe, they are slow, and their strength is weak. But Kaye just loved it, and was especially interested in the way clay creatures reproduced—splitting.
The Slush Monster does not have any organs, and when it is split into three, it becomes three separate entities. As if nothing had happened, feast on it. One of them was in the mouth of the octopus, full of thorns and tongue teeth that rolled around the slush monster back and forth, only to wreck down pieces of snow dust, and then it froze crisply.
The octopus angrily stretched out its four short tentacles and tore at them, tearing apart the slush monster's soft body, and the white clay creatures grew more and smaller. Climb up the tentacles along the torso, eat the suckers, eat the brachiopods, eat the epidermis. When the octopus's bulging, water-rich eyeballs are frozen and cracked, and ice spikes burst out, it finally goes crazy. Four pairs of long and short brachiopods slapped wildly, falling into the black water, like a strange pot of soup: the surface of the thick black soup has been gelatinized, the main ingredient octopus is half trapped in it and cannot dive, and the surface of the soup is dotted with more than 30 pure white balls, and many frozen and broken tentacles.
Kaye watched coldly, the regeneration speed of the tentacle was getting slower and slower, it had no strength, and it was blocked by the black pudding monster after several slaps in its dying struggle. Two and a half minutes passed, and more than half of the water on the first floor of the tower condensed and gelatinized. Soon the shark had no room to swim, and was wrapped in a slime, blocking its gills and throat, unable to pronounce a single incantation.
But the battle will not end there. According to the guidance book, first force the opponent to follow your own pace, choke the enemy's throat with great momentum, and then - the third step, lore.
At the highest level of spells that Kaye has mastered, the sixth ring spell slot, a powerful [Dissociation Technique] is waiting for the giant shark to fight back. The dissociation rays can break down all tangible matter it comes into contact with and decompose it into particulate dust.
The octopus's four long tentacles have all been broken, and the fracture is no longer capable of regenerating, and the four short legs are twitching. A slow tentacle reached out to Kaye from underwater, and Kaye silently recited the precursor of the dissociation spell, ignoring its dying throes until it reached for a moment's notice. He hadn't seen many marine creatures, but according to the illustrated book, it was an octopus classified as an eight-wristed order, not a ten-wristed squid, so where did the ninth tentacle come from?
There are no suction cups on the surface of the tentacles, and the thick black color is not dyed by black water, it is a highly condensed negative energy color! Kaye interrupted the dissociation technique, and was about to strain, when the tentacles suddenly accelerated!
The slapping of the tentacles was as gentle as **, but it made Kaye feel suffocated, and he could feel the cold, evil power sucking his energy through the black pudding monster's oil film. The muscles of his whole body were relaxed and weak in an instant, and what was even more terrifying was that when the tentacles retracted, they took away a considerable part of Kaye's spiritual power, causing him to fall from the sixth layer of the magic net to the fifth layer.
Kaye was furious to find that three spells, including [Dissociation], had disappeared, and he had lost all of his six-ring spells. Yin Damage's energy-absorbing spell knocked him down by 2 mage levels!
The tentacles charged up to attack again, and Kaye had no choice but to point forward, and the black pudding monster broke away from its body and pounced on the dark tentacles. Its acidic corrosion has no effect on energy condensates, and can only cancel each other out with strong life force and negative energy. As the tentacles shrank, the black pudding monster resembled a dead slug, splitting into pieces and sliding down until it died out completely.
Two months of nurturing and domestication were dead in front of him, and Kaye remembered a sentence from the book: the plan that was as expected from beginning to end only existed on paper. Without the spell to dissipate the energy, he must sacrifice the black pudding monster, otherwise he will be beaten down into a mortal with a few gentle **, and his muscles will be weak and he will die, just like a villain who was sprayed by the shadow dragon dragon breath under Razor City.
There is a flaw in his defensive circle, and once he is forced to displace, the assimilation of the Mutant Slime's glue will be reversed and turned back into a pool, and all the previous efforts will be lost. And the spells he currently has can only injure, not severely damage the giant shark, and the defense mechanism of the first layer of the tower is only the sword spider and the illusion system of the whole tower, the latter is not arranged for combat at all. According to the books, when the duel is no longer stable, the best strategy is to retreat in order to seek the next counterattack...... Kaye frowned, which book was he reading? It seemed to be ...... Silvermoon O'Law School's Tactical Guide.
Kaye laughed at himself, he hadn't gone to school for a day, which school he imitated, and the victory step by step was not interesting at all!
He pointed downward, the [Ink Cloud Technique] dissolved, the water color returned to clear, the gelatinized water quality increased the perspective, and the figures of both sides were exposed to the opponent's field of vision. At this time, Kaye realized that the giant shark had a much stronger control over liquids, and it gathered the remnants of the water into a corner, and used it as its main body to summon a super giant water elemental, while he stayed in the water elemental's body. The water element is living water, let alone five minutes, even fifty minutes will not be able to be assimilated by the slime. The water elemental is responsible for moving, changing positions, and the giant shark can cast spells with peace of mind, summoning them endlessly.
The situation can't be advanced, so let's gamble on your life!
Kaye terminated the assimilation process and manipulated the massive amount of gum to begin moving and rotating in one direction. It's like stirring a bottle of viscous paste, which is laborious at first, but as the flow rate increases, the whirlpool gradually takes shape. The myriad debris encased in the colloid, from slow to fast. Kaye and the slime fused together, never before trying to roll their bodies so violently and with all their might. There was a faint tearing pain, as if the legs had been swept into the wheels and torn apart. Drops of blood fell from the tip of Kaye's nose, and the spectators didn't notice the crimson under the hood, but the giant shark smelled the sweetness of the mage's spills.
Not to be outdone, the Giant Shark quickly realized that Kaye was going to crush the Water Elemental with a whirlpool! Not to be outdone, he ordered the Water Elemental to pick up a square table and throw it into the air.
A tongue of fire flowed from Kaye's fingertips and slammed down the square table.
Combat has changed from polite back and forth to frantic fighting in a race to the death. Brilliant spell rays shatter hardwood furniture, summon creatures to bite through force field weapons, and streamers burst through the air, sending fragments flying. In less than ten minutes, the two bombarded each other without sparing. The pool full of glue swirled wildly, letting out a terrifying roar. The ears were deafening, the light flickered and blinded, and the battle spread to everyone on the remnant platform, even the general, in the face of the apocalyptic scene, could only hold his head and suffer from sawdust and flowing fire. In the air, Kaye dripped blood repeatedly, and the swirling debris shattered the water elemental bit by bit, leaving only a small part of the body that enveloped the giant shark. Both sides were waiting for the moment when the enemy was hollowed out.
Eventually, Kaye's spell slots were depleted, and a silver candlestick knocked him back several feet. His long-held spell focus was interrupted, and the colloid liquefied into water in an instant.
The crowd watching the battle had their mouths wide, they could probably guess what this meant, the tower master lost!
The giant shark burst out of the waves and hit Kaye at the top of the parabola!
The vortex has no driving force and slowly slows down according to inertia. Everyone was silent and in a trance.
"It's over?" asked Vinnie incredulously, just now the tower master was still like a god and demon, and he died in the blink of an eye?
No one answered, no one spoke.
Underwater, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, no, youth, was snorkeling. Ever since she almost drowned in the Jinxue River, Kaye has secretly learned to swim. At this time, he took off the slime's variant disguise, revealing a face that belonged to his youth - his face was radiant.
He knew that the Shark would only attack after confirming that he had exhausted all of his reserves and was focused on maintaining the collapse. So at the last moment of the fight, he took the initiative to ungelatinize, and then used the mage tower illusion to cover up his overboard figure. The giant shark bit only a slime that was covered by illusion. If the Shark hadn't done it himself, Kaye would have faced the Overlord of the Sea alone in the water.
However, he won the bet, won in the courage to fight for his life, and won in the speculation of the enemy.
Kaye thought connected to the pet in the shark's throat and gave the order: Acidify.
......
On the platform, Pooh stared at the water, not believing that the tower master would die, that her god of magic would die. If so, what else does she have to live for.
"Impossible, impossible......" she muttered.
Effie, the silver-haired knight, covered her face in despair, "What are we going to do......"
"It's out!"
In the midst of everyone's incredulous eyes, the giant shark surfaced and was imprisoned by a huge ball of glue. The giant shark inside was in great pain, acid gushing out of its esophagus, and it could not let out another curse except a howl. It flicked its tail frantically, trembling all over, and all that was left of its eight eyeballs was a puddle of blood. The upper and lower jaws continue to open and close and bite, but the sharp teeth fall off one by one and float in the glue. The strong acid corroded the hard shark skin, revealing a purple-red flesh fascia, and it struggled so hard that its flesh and internal organs were thrown out. The air is filled with a pungent sour smell, and the water surface gurgles and bubbles. When the acid entered the brain from the eye socket, the invincible Lord of the Shallow Sea trembled for the last time and completely stopped moving. All that remains is a pair of charred black fish bones soaked through acid, floating on the surface of the water.
Pooh was stunned, and suddenly a hand slapped her on the shoulder, and everyone turned back in horror to find the hooded tower master there, no traces of water, no blood, as usual.
"Tower master, this—it...... It'......"
"It's okay, it's just a bit of a fierce fish"
