Chapter 770: Battling the Sea Serpent
Don't be fooled by the sea serpent's large, red eyes. In truth, these creatures, which have dwelled in the deep sea for countless ages, have long lost their vision.
In the lightless depths of the sea, they rely on their various senses.
When locking onto enemies, they use sound, sensory perception, the scent of their prey, and even the subtle shifts in seawater currents.
By piecing together these details, they can accurately pinpoint the location of their target.
The Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent before them was naturally using the same method to lock onto the positions of Ling Zhan, Ansely, and Avril.
As Ling Zhan continuously cast the Shadow Clone Technique,
The Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent, already in its 'Absolute Stealth' state, was completely confused!
In its perception, what was once a single enemy had multiplied into countless enemies.
What made it worse…
All of these countless entities shared the exact same aura!
The pressure waves they emitted were identical!
It couldn't distinguish which one was the real enemy!
"Roar…"
Hidden in the shadows, the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent let out a low growl, filled with frustration and anger at being toyed with.
But being extremely cautious, it didn't dare to launch an attack rashly.
With its high intelligence, it knew that acting recklessly could put it at a disadvantage.
However…
As it turned out, hiding wouldn't help either.
When the number of shadow clones reached 10,000, all 10,000 'Ling Zhans' raised their hands in unison. Using the 'Staffless Casting' talent, coupled with various magic-specialization talents and passives, they simultaneously cast 10,000 Fireball spells!
Magic Domination + Magic Resonance + Absolute Focus + Fatal Spell + Staffless Casting + Multi-Cast + Flame God Title + Sunday!
Especially the 'Multi-Cast' talent!
This caused the initial 10,000 fireballs to undergo a qualitative transformation, multiplying into nearly 100,000 fireballs!
With Fireball upgraded to SS-level quality, its power was terrifyingly destructive!
The heat generated began to evaporate the seawater around them, creating thick mist.
It was unimaginable.
Deep within this dark sea, someone was using fire magic—arguably the least effective type here!
But what was even more astonishing…
The fireballs, instead of being extinguished by the seawater, burned even more intensely!
Under the influence of the 'Sunday' skill, the originally brilliant red fireballs took on a ghostly black hue.
In the next moment.
All the 'Ling Zhans' waved their hands in unison.
Whoosh!!
Under the awestruck gazes of those outside, nearly 100,000 ghostly fireballs shot directly toward the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent's hiding spot!
'Danger!'
Although the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent couldn't see the spectacle of nearly 100,000 fireballs converging upon it, the scalding heat and its danger sense alerted it to the imminent threat.
Without hesitation, it activated its escape skill!
Whoosh!!
It transformed into a streak of black light, darting away at an almost untraceable speed!
In the sea, it was the king!
No one could match its swimming speed!
However…
Bang!!
Just as it felt proud and even let out a triumphant growl, its head suddenly slammed into an invisible spatial barrier!
The impact, combined with its full-speed charge, was akin to a high-speed train colliding with a mountain—resulting in catastrophic damage.
Both of the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent's heads were instantly mangled and bloodied!
Luckily, it was an elite monster with a high level, which allowed its body to endure the impact without being knocked unconscious immediately.
However, the violent shock left it stunned for over two seconds.
Two seconds…
For Ling Zhan, this was a perfect window for a killing blow.
Especially since the yellow 'Stunned' status bar was clearly displayed above the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent's head.
Without any hesitation, Ling Zhan's main body transformed the Thousand Mechanisms Ring into a sharp, crimson serpent spear!
When the spear appeared in Ling Zhan's hands, someone in the hall outside immediately screamed!
"Damn it! That's my 'Holy Flame Spear of Piercing Death'!"
That's right…
Once again, Ling Zhan had 'borrowed' someone else's weapon without them realizing it.
Before the owner could finish screaming, Ling Zhan had already activated the Throwing skill!
After all, there were only two seconds available.
Ling Zhan, known for his meticulous attention to combat details, wasn't going to waste this golden opportunity.
Whoosh!!
The Holy Flame Spear shot through the dark sea like a meteor cutting through the night.
Naturally, the thrown spear came equipped with a personalized combo of small skills specifically tailored by Ling Zhan for dealing with monsters.
By now, he had developed muscle memory for it.
Whenever he performed a ranged throw or shot, he instinctively attached over a dozen SS-level small skills to the attack.
Two seconds of stun.
By the 1.5-second mark, the serpent spear had already reached the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent.
At the 1.7-second mark…
Splat!!
The faint sound of a weapon piercing flesh echoed.
The spectators saw the Holy Flame Spear skewering both of the Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent's heads as if roasting them on a skewer!
Buzz!!
As an elite monster in a Level 100 epic dungeon, it wasn't going to die so easily.
At the brink of death, its previously invisible body emitted a brilliant golden glow!
However…
Life at the Brink, failed!
Indomitable Will, failed!
Both of its life-saving skills were thoroughly suppressed by the black flames of the 'Sunday' skill, leaving it barely alive but unable to recover its health!
With no other options.
Life Reset!
The Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent activated its ultimate life-saving skill, reversing time around its body to restore itself to its health level three seconds before death!
Only a time-based skill like this could break free from the suppression of the 'Sunday' skill's black flames.
However…
Before the elite monster could celebrate, it was horrified to find that the spear piercing its heads had transformed into a golden chain, binding its entire body!
"Damn it! My Soul-Cleaving Rope got stolen too!" Predictably, another person outside groaned in frustration.
