Chapter 643 - 640: I’ve Been Waiting for This Moment Too
The Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts exploded, directly cracking open Casano’s skull! Dense blood seemed on the verge of overflowing from the top of Casano’s head, faintly revealing white brain matter.
The one who struck wore an Iron Horn Helmet, draped in Golden Armor, with a blood-red cape fluttering. A tall and mighty figure stood proudly, right hand wielding a Short Spear, left hand holding a Hand Guarding Staff—none other than Bai Pu.
Casano suffered a severe blow, a normal person would’ve long died.
However, Casano was, after all, a Level 9 Enhanced Warrior, with Life Value exceeding 12,000 points. Despite enduring a vital attack, the single damage did not reach 1/3 of his total Life Value, so Casano would not die.
Bai Pu was in a Forbidden Magic Barrier and thus couldn’t use Fighting Qi, slightly lowering the amplitude of his single damage output, not reaching the instant kill standard against Casano.
Nonetheless, Bai Pu’s strike still delivered over 2,000 points of output, reaching 1/6 of Casano’s total Life Value, resulting in severe injury!
Casano’s head seemed about to explode, with stars flashing chaotically before his eyes, ears ringing, and blood spilling from his seven orifices.
He was in fact incapable of movement, his body slumping wearily.
With a bow step, Bai Pu rushed forward, the Short Spear piercing swiftly, continuously penetrating Casano’s body, with the final strike piercing his heart, killing him.
Had the situation not been so urgent, Bai Pu might not have hurriedly delivered the lethal blow. Capturing Casano and interrogating him for information after the battle would have been a better decision.
Yet now the situation was one where the enemy was strong and he was weak. If Casano, heavily wounded, was left unattended, it would be troublesome if a mage adept at healing were to restore Casano’s condition.
Moreover, Casano might possess something like the "True Red Mark," making coercion or forced enslavement likely unsuccessful.
After Bai Pu killed Casano, he charged straight at another mage, Vance.
Vance was a Talismanic System mage, specializing in the creation and use of Magic Talismans.
However, within the Forbidden Magic Barrier, Vance’s talismans had become mere scraps of paper. He could only watch as Casano was killed.
Seeing Bai Pu charging towards him, Vance finally felt the despair faced by Laine’s subordinate mages when confronted with close combat assaults by Otherworld Travelers of the Sea Race.
"Casano, that bastard, actually died so easily! Damn it, the authority to control the Purple-robed Mage of the Secret Magic Hall was on Casano. With him dead, the Purple-robed Mage of the Secret Magic Hall would fall into an unmanageable state, remembering only Casano’s prior commands to maintain the Forbidden Magic Barrier!"
Vance couldn’t manage to lift the Forbidden Magic Barrier and could only shout for help!
Actually, Vance’s cry for help wasn’t necessary.
When Casano was ambushed, sea race Otherworld Travelers, including Pang Bo of the Whale Race and Batali of the Tiger Shark Race, had already attempted to come to the rescue.
However, Bai Pu killed Casano too quickly, and they simply couldn’t catch up in time.
Now that Casano was dead, they certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch Vance get killed.
"Quick, save Vance! Ferudo, that guy, hasn’t been academy dean for long. Few elite students are willing to join him anyway. If two die this time, there’s no way to explain!"
Batali of the Tiger Shark Race roared angrily.
Pang Bo of the Whale Race and Batali of the Tiger Shark Race were each entangled by the Wushan Divine Lady, Blood Spider, and Dai Sect, unable to spare a hand for the moment. Other Otherworld Travelers immediately abandoned chasing mages of the Lorich Orthodox Camp, hurrying back to provide support.
Three Sea Race combatants charged from three directions, two Long Halberds and a Javelin, whistling forth, targeting Bai Pu’s back heart.
Due to the inability to project energy externally, these three attacks possessed only the most basic physical impact. Yet given the skill of these three Sea Race experts, the damage from the attacks was still not negligible, enough to crack stone and break walls.
The aura on Bai Pu’s body abruptly surged.
Genetic Fusion activated, abruptly elevating Fighting Specialization to Level 12 and Long-Handled Weapon Specialization to Level 11!
By sensing the wind and the ground, Bai Pu didn’t turn his head, merely tilted slightly, his body executing a spiral!
The Javelin was evaded; the two stabbing Long Halberds were simultaneously struck at a subtle angle by the Hand Guarding Staff, colliding involuntarily with one another.
With a clang, the two Sea Race wielders of the Long Halberds stumbled forward simultaneously, feeling as if they had pierced into a vortex rather than a person!
"What level of specialization is this?"
The two Sea Race combatants, bewildered, were stabbed in the throat by Bai Pu’s thrusting Short Spear, dying instantly.
Despite being busy, Bai Pu managed to land a kick, sending Vance tumbling.
The Sea Race combatant wielding the Javelin, due to being slightly further away, escaped a calamity.
"By Musulu above! What kind of monster is this guy, could he be an Overlord at the level of the Prince of the Sea?"
The Javelin-wielding Sea Race combatant felt fearful, not daring to advance, merely throwing the Javelin from afar, putting on a show of effort.
Other Sea Race experts, under orders from Pang Bo and Batali, could only join the fray in mass assault!
Little did they realize this was exactly part of Bai Pu’s plan.
He was currently in his strongest state with Pure Blood Protection and Genetic Fusion activated, and using a complete version of the Purple Weapon, intending to leverage the attacks from the Sea Race experts to quickly stack layers of "Final Breath" and the "Wall of Despair!"
Killing Casano was because Bai Pu, through Spiritual Perception, had determined Casano was the key figure controlling those Purple-robed Mages of the Secret Magic Hall.
As for Vance, there was no rush to kill him, perfectly serving as bait to lure Sea Race experts into encircling him.
After all, the Sea Race experts, because of the Forbidden Magic Barrier, had their output severely restricted and could only deliver physical attacks; even if they landed on Bai Pu, they caused mere scattered damage, inconsequential!
After a few minutes of encirclement, Bai Pu, who had stacked over twenty layers of states, was substantially more formidable.
Shifting from a state of two parts defense, two parts offense, six parts taking hits, to four parts defense, four parts offense, two parts taking hits.
Crucially, Bai Pu appeared unaffected by taking hits, yet each time he attacked, it was with overwhelming force, fiercely and powerfully, causing the Sea Race experts to suffer. Grazing a blow resulted in injury; a direct hit laid them flat.
Suddenly, with a slight pop, the hemispherical transparent dome enveloping the entire battlefield dissipated completely.
Looking again at those Purple-robed Mages of the Secret Magic Hall, each was exhausted, slumped on the ground.
"The Forbidden Magic Barrier couldn’t be maintained!"
Vance, who had managed to escape to a distance, was moved to tears, immediately casting six talismans in a hexagram pattern, shooting directly at Bai Pu.
These six talismans contained attack spells from the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Ice, and Thunder, a feature of the Talismanic System’s "Simple Compound Magic."
This type of compound magic possessed attack power fully comparable to a Forbidden Curse.
For instance, burning with fire, dousing with water, then freezing with the Ice Element, overloading with the Thunder Element, even a piece of iron could be melted.
Vance was merely at the level of an Advanced Mage, yet this move wielded power comparable to a Super Mage.
Not only Vance, but the Sea Race experts besieging Bai Pu also erupted with Professional Energy. For example, the Javelin-wielding Sea Race combatant, after imbuing the Long Spear with blue energy, split it in mid-air, producing dozens of spears, aiming them at Bai Pu.
"Kill him, show this arrogant human the might of the Sea Race!"
The Sea Race warriors were filled with righteous indignation; as Awakened of the Tier Two "Evolutionary Planet," they naturally looked down on Earth Awakened from a superior stance.
Now, encircling an Earth Awakened as a group, yet unable to subdue him, they felt disgraced. With energy restored, they aimed to restore their dignity.
"Heh... I too have been waiting for this moment!"
Bai Pu let out a cold chuckle, and his immense Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi surged forth, transforming into a vast Domain, enveloping the entire battlefield!
