My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 109 Black Crystal (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

The translucent cube emanated from the hammer and staff once more, locking the aberrant creature firmly in place.

The mutant furiously rammed into the cage, the immense force causing the cube to flash with light, and fine cracks appeared on its surface, threatening to shatter completely.

"Its power is too great; I'm afraid my sealing technique won't last long!"

Tessa frowned, a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, clearly indicating that maintaining this sealing technique was extremely taxing on her.

Upon hearing this, Otto simply nodded.

He knew that he had to act quickly, otherwise they would be in even greater danger if the sealing spell was broken.

"Could you try to control the sealing technique as much as possible, at least make it open its mouth, like it did just now?"

Otto asked Tessa loudly.

Having said that, Otto raised his iron sword, preparing to use the Azure Moon Thrust.

The Golden Sun Honey Core Ring on his fingertip was also ready, the golden crystal on the ring shimmering with dazzling light.

"no problem!"

Tessa immediately understood.

She gritted her teeth and increased the output of her magic, shrinking the cube of the sealing spell and directly locking the mutated creature's throat.

With a suffocating sensation in its throat, the mutant opened its mouth in agony, revealing sharp teeth and a foul-smelling tongue.

"Now!"

Otto shouted.

The eerie blue light on the iron sword became incredibly dazzling as Otto unleashed a full-force attack, the Azure Moon Thrust.

He transformed into a streak of blue light and charged toward the aberrant being.

The sword energy slashed into the mouth of the rock-skinned lizard with a soft sound, and then Otto activated the Golden Sun Honey Core Ring.

A golden cone of light, accompanied by moonlight, pierced the mouth of the rock-skinned lizard.

A tremendous force erupted within its body, blasting a deep gash in its skin, from which black blood gushed out, splattering all over Otto.

But the mutant didn't fall; instead, it became even more ferocious.

Clearly, such an attack would be lethal to an ordinary rock-skinned lizard, but Otto's attack only severely injured the deformed creature in front of him, without killing it.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Otto immediately withdrew and retreated.

It was at this moment that the Rockskin Lizard finally broke free from Tessa's sealing spell.

It suddenly raised its head, and a black ray shot out from the sharp horn on its head, heading towards Otto.

[The black cat that ferry souls is warning you to jump to the right.]

Fortunately, Otto was quick-witted and agile enough, and with the help of the Soul-Crossing Black Cat, he reacted immediately.

He simply took a few steps back to his right rear and dodged the attack again.

But when the black light struck the ground, it made a strange sound, and the ground was instantly corroded into a bottomless pit, from which billowing black smoke rose.

But it was at this moment that Otto noticed something was wrong.

His divine eyes clearly saw that a wisp of blue mist was swirling around the gap in the single horn.

At the base of the unicorn, there was a black crystal. Although the crystal exuded a strong aura of curse, it was surrounded by a clear blue mist.

This is a sign of good luck!

"I see."

Otto's eyes lit up.

"That's the key to defeating it!"

That black crystal was clearly the source of power for this mutant; destroying that crystal would completely defeat it.

With that in mind, Otto took another deep breath and activated the Azure Moon Battle Technique.

This time, he ignited the Soul-Purifying Flame in his hand.

Warm flames danced at his fingertips, warm and sacred.

Otto exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot out like an arrow.

He leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light, and stabbed towards the mutated creature's horn.

The mutant seemed to sense the danger; it twisted its body desperately, trying to evade Otto's attack.

But at that very moment, Tessa's sealing spell descended once more, binding its limbs tightly and greatly restricting its movements.

With a crisp sound, Otto's longsword pierced precisely into the black crystal at the root of the aberrant horn.

The Soul-Purifying Flame instantly enveloped the crystal, completely burning away the cursed power within.

The black crystal made a crisp cracking sound before breaking into fragments that scattered on the ground.

The rock-skinned lizard let out an extremely shrill scream, the scarlet stripes on its body gradually faded, and the bloodthirsty light in its eyes slowly dissipated.

Its body swayed, then crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After a while, it finally stopped struggling, and its body gradually cooled down, clearly indicating that it was dead.

But Otto didn't stop there.

He swung his longsword, slicing open the deformed creature's chest and extracting its still-beating, enormous heart.

At this moment, Otto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He staggered and almost fell.

The battle just now had almost exhausted all his magic and physical strength.

Fortunately, the harvest was good.

Your understanding of the Windwing Messenger has reached a new level.

[Windwing Messenger upgraded to LV3.]

Just as Otto was sensing the changes in the Windwing Messenger, Tessa quickly came over, supported him, and asked with concern.

Are you alright?

There was a hint of worry in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Otto shoved Tessa away.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face pale, and said in a cold tone.

"It's just that the consumption is a bit high."

Tessa wasn't angry when he pushed her away.

She was just picking up the black crystal fragments from the ground while muttering to Otto.

"This was really dangerous."

If it weren't for your spiritual eyes and the purifying fire, we might have died here already.

I really need to give Eileen a piece of my mind when we get back; she assigned us such a dangerous mission.

Upon hearing this, Otto said with a half-smile.

"It's also thanks to your sealing technique and the Law Shield that I had the chance to attack its weakness."

"By the way, didn't you say before that you couldn't use your abilities continuously in a short period of time?"

Otto narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him who was picking up crystal fragments.

At this moment, the girl slowly bent down, her alluring curves outlined by the tight-fitting priest's robe.

But Otto felt no pleasure in appreciating the beautiful scenery; he simply frowned and stared intently at Tessa in front of him.

In Otto's memory, although Tessa was qualified as a priestess, her methods were still greatly limited.

Just like his own Lamplight Eye and various spells, it has a cooldown time and a limit on mana consumption.

However, in the battle just now, Tessa's sealing technique was almost instantaneous, and she used it several times in a row, which proved very useful at key moments in the battle.

This is something Tessa could never have done before!

Otto asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that in just two days you've learned the tricks of being a judgment priest from Eileen?"

Upon hearing this, Tessa was taken aback at first, but then she returned to normal.

She straightened up, dusted off her hands, and nodded calmly.

"Yeah, that Erin is really wicked. She only taught me her secret skills at this crucial moment."

When I get back, I'm really going to give her a good complaint.

Upon hearing this, Otto revealed a wicked smile.

He took a step forward, closing in on Tessa, his eyes sharp as knives.

"go back?

Are you referring to when we return to the Inquisition?
