Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 190 The Eye of the Mortal World
From within a piece of paper less than a foot long, a giant snake eight meters long emerged! The giant snake roared, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on Shi Ming.

Is this the power of the two-dimensional girl?
Shi Ming once again dodged the shadow's assassination attempt, and then, relying on the speed of his Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body and his own reflexes, skillfully evaded the giant snake's attack.

The eyes, brimming with lightning, blinked.

The Eye of the Mortal Realm has been activated, providing new insights!

In a vibrant style.

[The Eye of the Mortal World has noticed a thrilling and exciting fighting match and will continue to report on it!]

[The two-dimensional girl summoned a powerful phantom sea monster! The Baikal Sea Serpent!]

This painting, which she spent four hours sketching, possesses one-third the power of the real Baikal Sea Serpent. The forces behind her, the Shadow of the Moon, are determined to win this battle! Can our fighter emerge victorious in a fight against four opponents?

A few simple sentences contain a great deal of information.

Shi Ming was already used to the styles of the Eye of Intelligence and the Eye of the Mortal World; to some extent, they were a projection of his own personality.

He had never heard of the Shadow of the Moon.

But anyone standing opposite him

They are all enemies!

A dazzling array of light and lightning crackled and exploded across the sea, powerful electric serpents rippled across the surface, lingering for a long time. The combined power of the Myriad Calamities Lightning Prison and the sealing effect of the Codex of All People intertwined, descending upon this sea and transforming it into a true arena of death.

The heat from the Sea of ​​Ashes met the dazzling lightning, forming a torrential downpour in mid-air, accompanied by the howling lightning.

Shi Ming had no intention of running away.

Facing the enemy,

We should strike hard!

Hit them until it hurts!
Beat them until they're scared!
Or should we treat him like an easy target and take advantage of him every now and then?
Moreover, he was quite lucky this time, drawing a powerful offensive skill with a wide-range AOE damage. This gave Shi Ming the ability to fight four opponents at once. Although the giant snake had terrifying attack power, it was just a phantom of a sea beast and did not have the pressure of a real S-class sea beast.

Shi Ming moved like a lightning bolt, appearing as a phantom within the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison, leaving sharp streaks of electricity in his wake.
In the brief battle, he had already gained a basic understanding of his three opponents.

The blond guy is agile and can teleport, making him difficult to kill.

The mysterious two-dimensional girl summoned a giant serpent to participate in the battle, while its true form hid in a drifting ship in the distance. It hasn't been struck by lightning even once in so long, so it must have an incredibly powerful trump card.

The Shadow, appearing at the center of the stage as an assassin, has become a weakness!
With a whoosh, he dodged the giant snake's next lunge and was already in front of the shadow.

This time, Shadow did not retreat. He had nowhere to retreat either. Gritting his teeth, he made a black and white sphere appear in his hand, which seemed to carry the dual power of shadow and light. He actually wanted to confront Shi Ming head-on.

Assassins and warriors fighting face-to-face—where did you get the courage?

Shi Ming swung his silver fist! Undeterred, he charged forward.

Bang!
Like a thunderclap, Shi Ming's right fist collided head-on with the black and white ball in Mr. Shadow's hand. Without activating the Xuanwu Shield, Shi Ming could feel that this flashy power was no match for the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body. The unformed ball was torn apart, and a powerful punch slammed into Mr. Shadow's chest, shattering the specially made armor into pieces!

Assassins are physically weak, and so is Mr. Shadow.

good chance.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Ming struck his enemy with a single blow and was about to unleash ten times the power to finish him off when the space in front of him shifted, and Mr. Shadow had already been teleported to some unknown location by the blond-haired man.

S-Rank Skill, Spatial Rune! Activate!
At the same time, he felt the space around him begin to solidify, and the powerful pressure seemed to be crushing him into a painting!

S-Rank Skill, Person in the Painting! Activate!

Mr. Shadow emerged from the shadows once more, his left hand wielding light and his right hand darkness, two distinctly different daggers materializing as he abruptly thrust them toward Shi Ming, determined to avenge his previous humiliation.

S-Rank Skill, Twin Light and Shadow! Activate!
Shi Ming's right eye flickered.

In an instant, he noticed a new warning.

The intense and thrilling arena battle has entered its second act!!!

Even the fiercest sea monsters dared not face three powerful S-rank Awakened, yet the fighter in the center of the arena actually lasted five minutes, even forcing the proud and arrogant prodigy to cooperate. This is truly commendable! The Eye of the Mortal Realm is very satisfied with this battle!

[The frequency will increase significantly temporarily!]

As everyone knows, by concentrating power on a single point, one can break through the barriers created by force, and thus overcome the obstacles imposed by the figure in the painting.

Shi Ming let out a low growl.

The lightning power within his body surged, and with a crackling sound, the dimensional force was too much to resist and he was defeated. The shredded paper flew everywhere, getting soaked in the torrential rain and washed into the ocean.

The shadow's double attack is closing in!

Shi Ming's eyes darkened, and he prepared to activate the Xuanwu Shield again to teach this reckless assassin a lesson. However, the shadow that was about to pounce was once again teleported away by Tatasta.

"Tsk tsk, you really don't learn your lesson, Senior Shadow. Have you forgotten his counterattack move?"

Tatasta mocked mercilessly.

"Damn it! It's not your place to give orders!"

Shadow was furious. "This kid's not right! Tartasta, Pandora, what are you all hiding?!"

“Mr. Shadow, aren’t you also keeping secrets? The Awakened Ones of the Lighthouse are not as lame as you.” Tatasta never loses a verbal battle, no matter where he is.

……

The soft humming stopped.

The drifting ship, which was moored at the edge of the battlefield, stirred.

The two-dimensional girl stepped out of the cabin, her expression, clothing, and art style so detached that she seemed like a creature from another world.

The lightning struck her, but she remained unharmed.

The heavy rain of nature avoided her completely, and her delicate feather ornaments and clothes remained untouched by any water.

She stood at the bow of the ship, her eyes like those of the coldest sea beast, watching Shi Ming fighting three opponents. It was him.

It was this person's information that caused her drawing guide, which had never failed before, to explode. Her usually unfailing information detection only revealed one hobby and coordinates. She was mocked by a blond guy. She wanted to see what was so special about this person.

As her gaze fell upon them,

In Shi Ming's view, the world, with its torrential rain, seemed to have transformed into a dynamic, colorful oil painting.

The dark clouds were a deep, dark black.

Lightning is a series of winding, pale lines.

The seawater, a boldly painted indigo and deep black, exudes a wild and beautiful aura.

The figures have been transformed into animated, but comical, two-dimensional paintings.

The drifting boats moored on the sea have rough lines and are brightly colored.

……

The thrilling and intense arena battle has entered its third act!!!

The enemy has launched a fierce counterattack!

[The two-dimensional girl has displayed her 39th ranked skill, the fourth form of the person in the painting: Painting the World! This power is second only to the fifth form, Painting Oneself. The thirty-meter world where the fighter resides is about to become a painting. Escape the canvas within 360 seconds, or you will become a person within the painting, a two-dimensional being.]

The way to escape is simple; even without the Eye of the Mortal Realm's hint, you can probably guess it!

Shi Ming understood!

The Titan bloodline within his muscles erupted completely, his right arm's crimson markings blazing hot, and lightning in his hand coalesced into a single point, making him resemble a protagonist from a shonen manga, wielding a halberd, determined to tear through dimensions.

His entire body transformed into lightning, accompanied by a sharp screech, as he pierced towards the girl standing at the bow of the ship.

Whoops!

It looked like a sheet of paper had been torn open.

Crimson flames burned along the paper's outline, slowly igniting the unfinished painting.

Where the stone inscription passes, the abstract becomes reality.

Clang!
The entire drifting ship shattered into pieces amidst the beast-like impact, and a deep blue bead fell from it, sinking heavily to the bottom of the sea.

Tatasta grabbed the girl to dodge an attack, but was pushed away by the girl in disgust.

……

Tatasta looked at Shi Ming before him, recalling the "princess's" instructions to him when he set off. If possible, he could create some chaos and let him go, but if there was a real chance, he should prioritize bringing back the Endless Sea Map and the Stone of Taunt.

Right now, I'm afraid none of that will work.

This kid's combat power is truly terrifying.

If there hadn't been a blockade, he could probably have left safely at any time. This kind of opponent made him somewhat want to take things seriously.

Shadow, who had been constantly targeted by Shi Ming, was now panting heavily.

"Tatasta, buy me three seconds!"

"Let's stop holding back. If we continue like this, we will gain nothing."

"it is good!"

With his teammates stalling him, he once again pulled out the "Codex of Nations," enduring the cost of using it, and turned to a completely new page. Meanwhile, Tatasta took the initiative to step forward and engage Shi Ming in combat. The two-dimensional girl's gaze was cold, her eyes fixed on the battlefield, seemingly seizing every opportunity to attack.

[Article 321 of the Goringches Code!]

The power of lightning cannot be transmitted in this area!

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was the price for using the Codex Goringches twice in a row. He glared at his two teammates, knowing full well that neither of them had used their full strength.

Shi Ming discovered that his lightning domain seemed unable to inflict effective damage. The enemies before him seemed to have turned into rubber, and the domineering lightning could no longer harm them in the slightest.

The new wave of attacks from the sea snake, the blond-haired girl, and the young girl was even more ferocious, like a raging storm!
……

Four against one and they still seal skills?
Whatever!

Flip the table!
No more fun!
Shi Ming took out a lamp from his person.

The lamp of the stars.

His eyes twitched, and he blinked.

[The final act! It's almost here!!!]

Our fighters want to use the Starlight to overturn the chessboard and send all the players to the heavens!

The sealed-off battlefield will determine the true victor!

But what he needs to understand is this!

[The Nameless Cocoon is still a baby that has been awakened for less than two years. Even if we use its blood to ignite a star and have it personally unleash its terrifying third-ranked S-level skill, it may not be enough to teach the enemy a profound lesson. The "Extreme Evil Sanctuary" from the Abyss Lord is a better choice, but there is a 32% chance that its release will attract the Abyss Lord's attention, causing unknown consequences.]

After all, the eyes of the mortal world do not have the ability to predict the future. They can only make reasonable analyses based on the current situation.

The pros and cons are clear; what will he choose?

We'll wait and see!
