Chapter 35: The Storm Comes
Dark clouds slowly drifted to the island.
Heavy rain followed the dark clouds and fell madly from the sky, and the dark sky seemed to be about to fall.
Merlin also saw lightning bolts cut through the dark sky above the dark clouds, and the dull and loud thunder roared like cannons.
The surrounding trees were uprooted by the storm, and Merlin did not delay any longer, and hurried back.
He doesn't know how to capture the Storm Spirit yet, so let's go and see what Captain Aiden is doing.
Merlin soon returned to the vicinity of the Immortal Hurricane and saw the crowd preparing for action.
Captain Aiden was also a little surprised to see Merlin flying in the sky.
Because he dared to fly in the storm of the Endless Sea, he didn't know if Merlin was a master of art or if he was really not afraid of lightning in the storm.
"Your Excellency Merlin, it is recommended not to fly in the midst of a storm, the storm spirit likes to eat meat the most, and it is easy to be besieged when flying in the air."
Captain Aiden turned to warn Merlin.
"By coincidence, Captain Aiden, I was about to ask you how you are going to catch the Storm Spirit?"
Merlin silently descended to the ground and walked over to the captain to humbly ask for advice.
"Although the Storm Spirit is recorded in the books, it is indeed difficult to learn about this creature unless you have seen it with your own eyes."
Captain Aiden looked up at the sky, then continued to talk to Merlin.
"Storm Spirits, though in the form of fish, are not in the sea, but in the storm clouds of the Endless Sea.
Whenever a storm hits, as long as there is a living person or living creature under the storm, it will pull the lightning down and attack with the lightning. ”
"Lord Merlin, look, is there a lot of lightning in the depths above the storm, and that is the lightning driven by the spirit of the storm!"
Merlin looked in the direction of Captain Aiden's finger and did see a lot of lightning moving around.
"Captain Aiden, I found that only the storm clouds of the Endless Sea have this special lightning, does it prove that the storm spirit only exists in the Endless Sea."
Merlin asked his own question, and he did find it strange that the Storm Spirit was like a living lightning bolt.
He also encountered storms when he was in the Rhine, but there was no such lightning that could be driven away, and it was usually a flash of thunder and then disappeared.
"That's right, the Storm Spirit has only been found in the Endless Sea, and the further you go into the Endless Sea, the more terrifying the Storm Spirit becomes.
Merlin, don't look at us as hunting the Storm Spirit, think it's a very garbage creature, but on the contrary, it's a terrifying creature.
In the Endless Sea, whenever you encounter such a storm, you must find a place to hide or open the magic shield and carry it until the storm disappears.
Not only do we want to hunt down storm spirits, but we want to attract them to them, not destroy them. ”
Captain Aiden said as he looked at Merlin earnestly.
"I see, it's time for me to get ready for the hunt, farewell."
After listening to Captain Aiden's words, Merlin thoughtfully prepared to return to the high mountain, he wanted to go up to the storm cloud to find out the bottom of this creature!
"Then Lord Merlin should be safe, and hurry back as soon as the storm leaves, or we will be on our way."
Captain Aiden casually mentioned.
Merlin said he understood, and then flew back to the hill at a low altitude.
Soon he was back on the highest hill of the island.
Merlin took a deep breath and began to add various protective spells and buff spells to himself.
The dark clouds of the storm, accompanied by lightning and wind, have been howling.
"Very well, let's make the storm more violent!"
Merlin quickly chanted a spell to activate the lightning spear spell he had planted.
The Lightning Spear spell needs to be charged when there isn't much thunder mana in the air, but it's not the same in a storm.
Skip the charging phase directly, quickly attract the thunder element in the storm, and quickly slash to the ground one after another.
And with Storm Spirit!
A special creature spawned from the storm of the Endless Sea, a storm spirit that harnesses the action of thunder and lightning.
The storm spirit in the thunder and lightning that was pulled down by Merlin naturally followed.
Merlin finally saw the shape of the creature.
A transparent, blue-tinged fish travels through the storm with lightning speed.
The fish was not very large, at most the size of a fist, and its body was transparent, and Merlin could clearly see that there was a blue line of blood inside.
Although this fish is not big, it is extremely ferocious, and after being dragged down by the magic circle, it bites directly at Merlin's magic element shield.
A snap snapped off a piece of the shield.
"Yo, it's quite fierce, eat me with a sword!"
Merlin quickly condensed an energy sword and slashed at the fish.
"Wow"
Merlin slashed at the fish with his energy sword, but the first one didn't move it, and it took two slashes to kill the storm spirit.
"This skin is so thick, it takes two cuts to break it, it's good, continue to the next one."
The spatial storage ring in Merlin's hand flashed quickly, and he pocketed the Storm Spirit, and then began to chop down the next one.
Soon, the dozen or so storm spirits that had been dragged down in this wave were all wiped out by Merlin.
"I feel that the efficiency is a bit slow, I only harvested a dozen after using up all the magic circles, and one is only one drop!"
Merlin was very dissatisfied, he was busy using up all those materials, and he had built so many magic circles.
In this way, more than a dozen of them were condensed, and these dozen drops may not be enough for his World Tree fragments to plug his teeth.
"I have to go up in person, but unfortunately, there is no iron ore around here, otherwise I burned a lightning rod on the spot, and the effect might be better."
The cave that Merlin had explored earlier had this idea, and he tried to find out if there was any iron ore, but there was no hair.
"Alas, I guess that cave was temporarily opened up to avoid this kind of storm that someone had encountered here before."
Where the Storm Spirit passes, if the creatures are monsters or humans, as long as they have flesh and blood, they will basically attract the attack of the Storm Spirit.
Merlin was standing here now, each with an elemental shield that flew down and gnawed at him from time to time.
It didn't matter if it was just a fish to nibble, but the Storm Spirit came down with lightning, which gave Merlin a headache.
One lightning bolt after another slashed down, and even with an elemental shield in his way, Merlin could still feel the paralyzing feeling of being electrocuted.
"No matter, go up directly to a wave of fertilizer, collect a few hundred first, and then come down."
Merlin took off his cloak and put it in the storage ring to prevent it from being struck by lightning.
He's going to be ready to rush straight into the storm clouds and then hunt the storm spirit quickly.
He believed that no one but him would dare to do this, because the shield would be consumed very quickly in the midst of the storm.
A magician rushed up, and it was estimated that the magic power would be consumed in a few minutes, but Merlin had a huge elemental world, and the last thing he was afraid of was consumption.
"Come on, little fish, rush into my uncle's arms!"
Merlin quickly used his flying spell, and then the Wind Crest spell on his body accelerated, and he rushed directly into the storm cloud.
"Damn, what the hell is this, Storm Spirit!!"
