Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 441 An, Long Time No See
The surging black tide swept over—

Under the mighty power of the War Beast, the flames of the Blackblood soldiers quickly spread throughout the entire city-state.

Boom! Boom!
Caught off guard, the guardians of the White Tower frantically activated the defensive turrets of the Book Tower, unleashing a deluge of artillery fire...

However, the civilians had not yet been evacuated, and the Blackblood soldiers had already boarded their ships and mingled with the White Tower Hunters...

Even more terrifying, most of the White Tower hunters had centipede-like wriggling blood vessels on their bodies.

Even the highly respected fourth-tier tower master and association president of the White Tower Hunters are no exception.

Amidst the raging gunfire, panic spread rapidly, and the entire Tower of Books was in a one-sided situation.

Advance, destroy, kill, conquer, plunder!
The Blackblood soldiers, holding everyone by the neck, were like reapers of death, efficiently harvesting lives.

In the chaos, most of the White Tower hunters could only hope for the actions of the Tower Master, Anne, and the Saint of the Book...

The blood lion raised its head and grinned.

And atop the clock tower, in Aslina's blood-soaked right eye, the Holy of Books vaguely reflected the image of Death, his head ablaze with black and golden flames, wielding a scythe...

The scalding flames gradually twisted into a smiling face, placing the scythe against her slender neck.

To think I could dream of Death… Aslina opened her eyes, pulled her hands away from the broken clock tower, and released a massive amount of spiritual power…

"you!"

A fifth-order spiritual energy field erupted, like a howling gale, engulfing the city-state before them.

Aslina floated high in the air, looking down on the beings before her—

Her eyes were stained red, her long, blood-red hair fluttered, and as she raised her hand, a large number of magic books condensed behind her.

Due to her excessive contact with the unique existence of the A-rank Rift Library, she developed the Book Appearance Distortion Disease, 'Knowledge Worm', which made her extremely sleepy...

In addition, it is responsible for coastal cities where wars are rare, and apart from the battle with the Deep Sea Hunters, it rarely shows its own strength.

But in terms of status, seniority, power, and age, she far surpasses the Saints of this new era of the Black Blood Empire!
"You shouldn't have woken me up, little cat!"

Suspended high in the sky, Aslina resembled an angry angel.

She raised her hand, and more and more books appeared behind her, a massive book magic circle coalescing—

"Just what I wanted!!! I can feel the power of the blade churning my brain!!!"

Blood Lion pointed his axe at Aslina.

"My guards! Fight!"

Behind him, a hundred Blackblood soldiers suddenly drank the Black God Soldier Potion developed by the Black Whale Legion—

In an instant, numerous twisted tentacles sprouted from the bodies of these black-blooded soldiers, causing them to swell to three times their original size. They marched forward in unison, blocking the path of the Blood Lion General.

The War Beast is essentially a Tier 5 Blademaster class, much like a strategy player. Its strength largely depends on the strength of its 'soldier pieces'.

However, the resources required to mass-produce soldiers far exceed expectations.

However, the Black Whale Gang's Black God Soldier Potion solved all of this.

Just one sip is enough to achieve effects comparable to a Great Sage's Potion!

In addition, the Whale Father alone obtained the Void Poison through the hidden level of the B-rank Void Rift and created the perfect poison.

This is the miracle brought about by the rift tides—

It was precisely because of this miracle that the Blood Lion felt absolutely no fear when facing this saint who had already enjoyed a reputation for two hundred years in the Sea of ​​White Towers.

On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented excitement.

As the Emperor said, when a large number of A-rank rifts appear, it will inevitably lead to the fall of a saint, and it will also inevitably lead to the fall of an angel!

He roared:

"The Saint of Books!"
Do you know that in every second of our confrontation, hundreds of your people will die, your treasures will be plundered, and ultimately, you will lose all access to the entire A-rank magic network rift—”

He roared, and the Black Blood Divine Weapon, bound by the power of the Black Whale, surged into the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with the Saint of Books.

Aslina, expressionless, released the magic.

clang--

The entire sky was imbued with two immense spiritual energies, constantly emanating waves of energy—

In the aftermath of their battle, the flames of war continued to spread.

"teacher……"

An raised her head and stared blankly at the scene in the sky.

The aftershocks of the battle between two peak Saint-level beings were enough to affect the entire ocean.

However, she could sense that her teacher's pure book hammer spiritual power had been mixed with a trace of the edge power of the illusory image.

This battle will not end easily; it will be a protracted war...

protracted war……

Every second that the current situation continues will be a disaster.

I cannot interfere in their battle… Ann stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, turned around, and looked towards the deck of the mobile city-state.

In less than three minutes, the once bustling street was reduced to ruins. Crimson shockwaves swirled, and deafening roars echoed through the air. Bloodied and mangled wounded men dug at the ground beneath the collapsed slabs.

"hateful!"

Her friend Melanie was kicked in the abdomen by a Blackblood soldier, severing her right hand.

"Spare me! Spare us! Spare us!"

The laundry worker pressed her daughter's face into her blood-stained apron and curled up beside the overturned table.

Five heavily armored, black-blooded soldiers, resembling black bulls, slowly approached the two men, wielding long-handled axes and wearing iron boots, raising their axes—

Wailing cries, raging flames, destruction...

This is the decree of General Blood Lion!
brush!
An used his levitation technique, rushing towards the weakest point of resistance like a gust of wind, and stood in front of the five Blackblood soldiers.

Without any hesitation, she unleashed her powerful fourth-tier spiritual energy.

Acrid black steam billowed from the heavy armor of the Blackblood soldier as he looked at the extraordinary person in a formal dress, holding a spellbook.

"Fourth tier..."

"Interesting! This will be a great achievement!"

A beast-like red light flashed in the eyes of the five Blackblood soldiers.

For ordinary third-tier extraordinary beings, fourth-tier legendary beings are beings to be looked up to.

Unlike ordinary Tier 3 soldiers, under the power of the Blood Lion, the Blackblood Soldiers acted together and won countless battles.

In past wars, their legions have killed many legends.

The fall of each fourth-tier transcendent means that one person in their army will gain enough merit to exchange for a fourth-tier professional card!

Not to mention, they had just taken the divine medicine from the Black Blood Divine Weapon.

Black smoke surged, and the three black-blooded soldiers, their eyes filled with contempt, spewed black smoke mixed with blood from their shoulder armor. They suddenly increased their speed, leaving afterimages, and swung their battle axes at the small head—

Spellbook. Shield!
The spellbook in Ann's hand floated in the air, casting a magical shield to block the attack.

At the same time, she took out the witch's staff and unleashed a storm of spiritual energy cannons, bombarding the three black-blooded soldiers—

Immediately afterwards, she turned around and struck her staff behind her—

"Book. Magic pours forth!"

A dazzling white light flashed, severely injuring the two Blackblood Heavy Armor Soldiers who had ambushed her!
Amidst thick smoke, five Blackblood Heavy Armor soldiers lay on the ground, their limbs severed.

"call……"

An bit her lip, and a drop of sweat fell from her temple.

These days, she has spent too much time dealing with the documents given to her by the Holy One of Books, and has neglected her spiritual practice.

However, in the next instant, a horrifying scene unfolded.

On the already shattered breastplate of the Blackblood soldier, a continuous stream of writhing black blood oozed out, and his bones twisted and contorted—

"It hurts a little!"

"The power of lions and whales flows through us, little girl."

"Stronger! We can become even stronger!"

Five heavily armored soldiers, each three meters tall, stood up again and gripped their blood-soaked axes once more.

The Black God's Potion granted them regenerative abilities comparable to those of monsters.

At the same time, the sound of steam-powered iron boots came again from behind her.

The Blackblood soldier cracked his neck, and beneath his tattered helmet, he coldly said:

"The area has been 90% cleared. Currently, the cleanup unit has three women, five men who are unable to move, one child, and only one cleanup unit that can resist."

"Target to be cleared: a fourth-tier Book-Aspect Transcendent. Their spiritual energy field is far stronger than that of an ordinary fourth-tier Transcendent. Difficulty level assessment: Dragon..."

"We need support! We need to begin liberation!"

An looked around.

Amidst the billowing black smoke of the ruins, the towering, blood-stained soldier pulled a blood-soaked axe from the White Tower Hunter's abdomen—

Immediately afterwards, one after another, eyes burning red turned toward her.

"Request for support has been received."

"Blade Release. Berserker Lion Transformation, unfold."

Fifty black-blooded soldiers, with five-meter-tall black lion figures emerging behind them, wielding two-meter-long war axes, slashed across the cold ground—

"Reinforcements have arrived. The current difficulty in clearing out the bugs—"

An looked around; she was surrounded.

Boom boom boom!

"Waaaaah! (I'm here!)"

Just then, a gigantic mech, ten meters tall, leaped down from the sky and slammed its steam-powered fists into the dense ranks of Blackblood soldiers—

Justice from heaven!

The powerful punch smashed a deep crater in the ground, forcing the Blackblood soldiers back.

"finally come……"

An raised her head and smiled.

The steam-powered mech in front of us had a simple appearance, consisting of only a large oval body and steel limbs.

On the ellipsoid are two huge red eye patterns.

It is the Sphere, a steam-powered mech independently developed by the White Tower. Although its appearance is somewhat ugly, its combat power is comparable to the general-class mechs of the White Tower Federation.

She's not the only one who's gotten stronger these days!
An fed all her excess spiritual energy replenishment potions and spiritual energy enhancement skill cards to Water Sprite No. 3.

Miraculously, Water Sprite No. 3 digested these materials.

The operator inside this steam-powered mech is Water Sprite No. 3!
"Waaaaah (Don't you dare hurt Master's teacher!!!)"

Inside the mech, Water Sprite No. 3 used its tiny fists to control the mech, standing behind Ann. The two relied on each other, one facing the enemy head-on, the other from behind—

An smiled slightly and looked at the black-blooded soldier in front of her.

The Water Sprite No. 3 steam mech can buy her a precious opportunity for liberation.

With the blessing of the Black God's Soldier Potion, the strength and speed of these fifty Black Blood Soldiers are no less than those of a fourth-tier soldier.

At this moment, liberation must be used to end them!

"Hoo! Water sprite, are you ready?"

"Book Interpretation—"

An held the staff in both hands, and spiritual power burst forth.

The Blackblood Heavy Armored Soldiers created distance, while the phantom of the Mad Lion behind them made a wary expression!
"Magic Meteor Shower—"

Pfft!

Suddenly, An's eyes widened. Before she could fully utilize her spiritual power, a crushing sensation shot through her flesh—

This feeling is like hundreds of ants tearing your flesh apart—

Dark blood vessels bulged out on her fair skin.

Before her eyes, a black wormhole appeared, covering the entire sky.

The black whale illusion... An gritted her teeth and tried to break free from the illusion.

The poison of black blood has already seeped into her spiritual power.

However, it was that one second of hesitation—

"What are you looking at?"

The sharp Blackblood Empire's heavy axe struck her chest, sending her flying through the air—

An stared blankly at the blood splattering in the air.

That enormous amount of blood was all her blood—

However, before she could react...

Another barrage of attacks has arrived!
The phantom lions behind the other forty-nine Blackblood soldiers charged out, slamming them against the steel wall of the tower—

"Cleanup begins!"

Without a moment to catch their breath, a barrage of axes came crashing down.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!
Fifty Blackblood soldiers charged forward like wild beasts.

According to General Blood Lion's orders, killing a fourth-tier enemy will earn you the highest merit.

"Meritorious service! Meritorious service! Meritorious service!"

"Clean! Clean! Clean!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

An blocked with both hands.

Her magical shield shattered instantly under the barrage of attacks!

clang!
With that heavy axe blow, her head was smashed directly into the steel wall of the tower.

Next, as a mage, she could only use her weak fourth-tier mage body to resist the dense attacks of the Blackblood soldiers.

The Water Sprite No. 3 steam mech that tried to rescue her was firmly blocked in front of everyone.

An's high ponytail fell loose, completely stained with blood.

boom! boom! boom!
The Blackblood soldiers, driven by a desire for efficiency, did not hesitate.

An was no longer able to make a sound.

Fractured ribs, concussion, rapid breathing, blurred vision—

Meanwhile, the cracks in the magic net on her right hand continued to tear open—

The Sage of Books had instructed her that, under no circumstances should she ever again use the power of the A-rank Rift Magic Network in her possession—

Otherwise, it will inevitably become distorted, and at the same time, a crack will instantly devour everything!
Once an entrance to an A-rank rift opens here, everyone present, including herself and her friend Melanie, will die.

Clang, clang—

An endured all of this.

However, she experienced an unprecedented pain and a premonition of death.

If we don't use this power...

In her hazy state of consciousness, she vaguely saw the magic net calling to her.

Because the black whale venom affected her blood, she could no longer use or unleash her own spiritual power.

"Final three strikes, cleanup complete!"

Blackblood soldiers raise their battle axes—

Boom!

Suddenly, the entire mobile city-state shook violently!
clang!
The axe struck Ann's shoulder, slicing off a chunk of flesh.

Despair flashed in An's eyes, and her right hand trembled uncontrollably.

"Wow, that's real meat!"

The person before me, a fourth-tier mage, was actually able to generate a spiritual energy shield under this black blood poison.

Is this really a mage?
Why does she have so many defensive skills?

But it doesn't matter, she's already ruined by this injury.

The Blackblood soldier's fighting instincts made him stop his last two attacks and turn to look at the source of the commotion.

"What's happening? Why is the mobile city shaking?"

He spat water on the ground and asked, addressing the other soldiers.

The soldiers also gazed out at the sea where the mobile city-state was located:
"Don't worry, it's a giant elephant!"
The Black Whale Gang said they would send their Black Sea Elephants to launch an attack from the outside to support us!

"Gentlemen, reinforcements have arrived!!"

Amidst the smoke of battle, on the surface of the vast ocean, the blurry silhouette of a colossal beast faintly appears.

A colossal elephant… An struggled to move his blurry eyes, staring blankly at the scene.

The Black Blood Empire has been plotting this for a long time.

Given the current situation, even if she uses the power of the magic network, can she really win?

Ultimately, her physical body and spiritual energy source were only at the fourth level.

Rumble!
Just then, a loud bang echoed from the misty sea—

An unprecedented earthquake struck the vast mobile city-state!
Suddenly, a gigantic tentacle with bloodshot eyes burst forth from the depths of the sea, tearing through the thick defensive barrier and climbing onto the ground of the mobile city-state, the Tower of Books.

Each one is hundreds of meters long and thick enough to occupy an entire street.

Above them, blood-red eyes stared intently.

One—

Two—

Six enormous, thick tentacles climbed up the ground, twisting and intertwining to form a winding mountain of tentacles.

The enormous blood-red tentacles were only ten meters away from An and the Blackblood soldiers.

Aside from the fierce battle between the Blood Lion and Aslina, everyone present was captivated by the sight!

In the end what happened?
The barrier has been breached!

The White Tower hunters all turned their gazes toward the blood-eyed tentacles on the edge of the mobile city-state, their faces filled with despair.

However, the Blackblood soldier's eyes were also full of doubt.

Shouldn't it be the Black Sea giants that break through the barrier according to the plan?
What the heck are those bloated, bloodshot tentacles?

This is wrong!

Did the Black Sea giant elephant drink too much alchemical wastewater? Did it mutate?
Where did their full fifty Black Sea Elephants, designed for siege warfare, go?

Most importantly, on the mountain of tentacles, above the hazy smoke of battle, sat two figures.

The storm raged around the figures, obscuring their view of the Tentacle Mountain.

tread!tread!tread!
"You all step back! I'll scout the area."

The heavily armored soldier with black blood drew his axe from An's shoulder and strode towards the Tentacle Mountain, aiming it at the people there.
"Hey! Answer me, what happened, or else..."

brush!
The Blackblood soldier didn't finish his sentence.

In an instant, the tentacles descended from the sky, flattening the heavy, black armor along with it, smashing it into a bloody pulp!
call!
Five three-meter-tall, heavily armored soldiers in black blood vanished instantly.

In that instant, the Blackblood soldier did not hesitate and retreated at lightning speed.

An stared wide-eyed and looked up blankly.

The tentacle was still moving—

We have to run fast! Otherwise, she'll be next!

However, her thigh joint was shattered, and she could hardly mobilize her own spiritual power.

However, Ann was more curious about the people of the Tentacle Mountain than about that.

Her spiritual perception far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even through the storm, she could still sense that the spiritual energy field of the person on the Tentacle Mountain was far beyond that of ordinary people!
She had never seen such a special spiritual energy field in the White Tower Sea.

That's not the spiritual energy field of a fourth-tier legendary being; it's more like the spiritual energy field of a special boss in an A-tier rift!

What exactly was that? Ann swallowed hard, watching in despair as the blood-red tentacles swelled and wriggled, reaching deeper into the Tower of Books, reaching towards her—

boom!
The next moment, the tip of the blood-red tentacle gently touched An's thigh, which was covered in bloodstains—

An stared blankly up at the sky, her expression blank, and slowly opened her right hand.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the storm and smoke of the Touch Mountain slowly dissipated.

At this moment, Ann finally saw the figure on the mountain of tentacles.

How can it be!

Her desperate eyes suddenly lit up, turning into shock—

She recognized both figures on that tentacle mountain!

know!

"I'm still too late..."

The figure of the Tentacle Mountain sighed and looked at the Tower of Books, which had been ravaged by the Black Blood Soldiers and turned into ruins.

Then, An's image came into his view.

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that An was alright.
"An, it's been a long time..."
