Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 800 - 686: Ocean Treasure: Beast King’s Nest
Shhh——!
Leaving Ship Spirit Mei alone to maneuver the Crown of Miracles for fire support, the four powerful Wizards had already teleported above the island stronghold on a river of light formed by emerald butterflies.
At that moment.
Most of the area beneath them had become a scene of rubble and ruins, with only the central area of the island remaining intact.
"Action!"
The tasks had been pre-assigned.
Olivia and Angie, two seasoned Wizards with power close to the weakened Tier 3 Totem God, instantly activated their Biological Armor: Light Spirit Circuit, causing golden and silver geometric patterns to light up on their fair skin.
As lightning flickered, a gas ring exploded in front of them, and they leapt towards the surviving armed men rushing from the core area with their long Electromagnetic Gun Swords trailing like tails of light.
Aiming at the vicious members of the Blood Hand Gang, their target was: slaughter them all, leave none alive!
"Quick, fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
As the Hurricane Missiles fell, the soldiers in the central area of the fortress who were lucky to escape were driven by the commander to dash out of cover.
Forming a line on open ground, they raised their Flintlock Guns, firing incessantly at Olivia and Angie descending from the sky.
Now having lost all the cannons and the stationed Cannoneers defending the outer fortifications, their firearms were their strongest conventional defense remaining. Though reduced to around five hundred men, they were trained well enough to courageously shoot at the formidable Extraordinaries.
However.
Olivia and Angie didn’t even bother to activate Witchcraft Shields; the Electromagnetic Armor inherent to the Light Spirit Circuit deflected all incoming lead bullets.
Glancing at the ordinary soldiers like ants, Angie directly threw down the Brass Toy Box in her hand.
Swish——
White steam gushed out, accompanied by the crisp sound of gears turning as the Alchemy Workshop instantly unfolded. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Meticulously modified by Aiven, the Alchemy Workshop transformed into an indestructible metal fortress within a few breaths. The most striking feature being the honeycomb-like Missile Launching Well and Rocket Cannon Guide Rail installed on one side.
Clearly having turned from a simple research site into a mobile military stronghold.
Following Aiven’s guidance, Angie fired a wave of rockets without hesitation. The activated rocket cannons auto-calibrated and easily locked onto the enemy positions.
"Not good, quick dodge!"
Rumble...
Amidst the roaring flames, the armed personnel fleeing with their heads covered suffered losses again, reduced by almost half, with a considerable number now being Crimson Shooters with blood-hued hands, Extraordinaries had far higher survival rates than regular soldiers.
Yet the offensive of the Alchemy Workshop was far from over.
Swish, swish, swish...
Several toy soldiers painted in red and blue had rushed out of the opened gate, growing larger with each step and transforming into three hundred metal soldiers with normal human sizes in the blink of an eye.
Cavalry, Tank Soldiers, Firearms Soldiers, Cannoneers all present, along with the newly added Grenadiers. They silently formed ranks and charged fiercely at the soldiers whose most advanced weapon was the Flintlock Gun.
No army in the mundane world could withstand this group of toy soldiers in a battle of equal scale.
"Damn it!"
At this time, the three high-ranking members of the gang originally underground had already rushed to the surface, their eyes nearly bursting upon witnessing the scene.
Especially the Big Boss, who had painstakingly built this foundation for over a hundred years, seeing his years of accumulated toil vanish in an instant, had eyes that were naturally red now almost spewing tangible flames.
His roar echoed like thunder across the sky:
"I’ll kill you! And then torment your souls for a thousand years! All of you, charge!"
"Understood, Sir!"
His military advisor Giovanni, outwardly a middle-aged gentleman with silver hair and red eyes, pale skin, actually was a Tier 3 Vampire from the Lower Realm.
Cutting his wrist to draw a rapier emitting a flickering glow, its sharp blood-colored blade constantly throbbing.
Swoosh——
Trained like a butler, Giovanni, dressed in a white shirt and black suit adorned with a black bow tie, charged into the sky like a bolt, fiercely diving at the two girls.
The Demon Mage Crovitz, serving as military advisor, retrieved a wooden magic staff embedded with some Demon skull, and struck the ground forcefully.
"Boom!" With a muffled noise, no sound or light effects were produced.
Yet the regular soldiers being defeated under the toy soldiers’ offensive, one after another, let out wails from their mouths.
Shhh——
The fabric on his abdomen exploded, and his stomach writhed incessantly like a blossoming flower, quickly giving rise to a solitary maw full of sharp teeth, resembling half of a skinned beast’s head, ferocious and terrifying!
Drip, drop, drip, drop, disgusting blood-red saliva dripped continuously from the beast-like mouth, corroding the rocky ground into small pits.
No regular soldier in the squad was spared; the place was filled with these humans long since tampered with by the "Demon Mage" into parasites.
Yet.
Although they had lost all reason, each one gained power comparable to the Extraordinary in a short time, drawing out their daggers to counterattack, surprisingly repelling the assault of the toy soldiers.
When the two girls fully engaged with the military advisors and commanders of the "Blood Hand Gang."
The "Big Boss," whose entire skin, including his eyes and hair, was blood-red, also took notice of the attack’s two main forces. He let out a cold, sneering chuckle, and surging blood light exploded around him as he charged alone toward Aiven and the Nymph, who were also descending from the sky.
Looking at this bizarre fellow, Aiven couldn’t help but mutter to himself:
"Is his head that hard? He dares to charge at two Great Wizards alone?"
But the next moment, Aiven realized how utterly wrong he was.
Clang—!
When he swung down his usually fierce [Activated Spiritual Light: Sword Qi Torrent], he easily severed the layer of blood-red flames, but when it hit the foe’s skin, it didn’t even scratch the surface.
As Aiven’s face changed dramatically.
The opponent’s counterattack had already arrived simultaneously.
From a distance of more than ten meters away, his right hand suddenly punched forward, like an eel darting out of rock crevices to prey, with a fist opening to reveal sharp teeth, snapping toward Aiven with lightning speed.
Using a [King’s Rook Castle] to create distance, Aiven, who had just failed in his attack and was baffled, found himself troubled by this peculiar attack capability.
"This feels very familiar, but... what is this Extraordinary Path?"
Since it involved the inheritance of his own Wizard School, Aiven couldn’t help but think more deeply.
Moreover, the leader of the "Blood Hand Gang" had an overwhelmingly intense aura of the fifth volume of the [Creator’s Blood]. So much so that Aiven could believe he was a wizard from the "Life Tree School."
However, as the one possessing the [Mysterious Source: Tree of Life], Aiven knew very well that apart from his own student, no other Official Wizard was loose in the world.
In contrast, the Nymph didn’t bother herself with overthinking.
Her [Gemstone Armament] was a high-slit luxurious evening gown, the black satin embellished with scattered starlight, as if she wore the night sky itself, with silver crystal high heels on her feet.
In a fleeting glance, the shining diamond leg bands looked like a gleam of moonlight breaking through clouds, inadvertently captivating the heart.
In stark contrast to the girlish style of Olivia, she was tall, mature, and breathtaking.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Behind her, a myriad of gemstone lights emitted dazzling cross-shaped star rays, bombarding the "Big Boss," primarily with the strongest fire, thunder, and poison attributes.
[Gem Witchcraft: Star Mark]
Under the blessing of an Upper-Rank Wizard, beams of terror exceeding the bombardment of 32-pound cannons fired almost with the fierce rhythm of machine guns.
With a frightening firing rate of 120 rounds per minute and three full blasts from each Witchcraft Ruby costing ten Golden Lions, this minute-long assault would burn through four hundred Golden Lions.
At this moment, the Nymph’s face flushed slightly, clearly intoxicated by the exhilarating flow of firepower.
Hmm, this is what they usually call "gem freedom."
However, even such a dense barrage proved utterly ineffective on the opponent.
The two Upper-Rank Wizards, who had retreated gradually onto the sea, wore solemn expressions. As per usual logic, not even [Divine Creatures], which could immune regular attacks, should demonstrate such horrifying resilience.
"What on earth is this freak???"
Standing opposite them.
The "Big Boss" ignored the stunningly beautiful noblewoman and instead fixed his gaze on Aiven, unconsciously licking his lips:
"I don’t know why, but you seem absolutely delicious, more so than anything I’ve eaten before. Let you taste the power of the [Ocean Treasure: Beast King’s Nest], and then completely merge with me! Hahaha..."
Roar! Howl! Whimper!...
The "Big Boss’s" body seemed connected to another world as various animal cries, mainly from ocean creatures, were emitted. Then, just like the proliferation of tumors, it grew rapidly, developing into various heads, mouths, claws, wings, fins, tentacles, tails, scales....
In the blink of an eye, he had swelled to ten meters high, like a gigantic Frankenstein stitched together from hundreds of biological parts.
Most of them were ocean creatures, though quite a few demonic creatures from the Lower World were included, even the lion-headed demon summoned today.
The common point was, regardless of the original species, they all morphed into blood-red skin at this moment.
Witnessing such a shocking yet thoroughly explainable scene through his understanding, Aiven had a flash of intuition, instantly comprehending all the peculiarities of his opponent, blurting out:
"You’re not human! No, actually, you are the fifth volume of ’Flesh Sacrifice’—[Creator’s Blood]! Moreover, like ’Shipwreck Elegy,’ have you become a sentient Ocean Treasure?!"
