As expected of an S-rank, the mental restraints of an A-rank couldn't control it for long.
Fortunately, she tried it once. If she had used this skill in other high-level combat situations in the future, she would probably have suffered a lot.
Gu Xi, who had almost swallowed seawater, patted his chest in relief.
She had almost forgotten that the zombie sea monster was now only driven by its instinct to attack. If she used the same methods she had used to deal with other sea monsters, it might backfire.
The zombie sea monster's first leap was also for offensive purposes, using it to attack the flying spikes. Its previous leap was also for offensive purposes, specifically to strike her as she flew at low altitude.
Therefore, using binding skills may not be a good choice for her.
She had to take advantage of the situation and use the zombie sea monsters' attacks to launch her own.
Having figured this out, Gu Xi stepped on the spikes and approached the zombie sea beast. She needed to get close enough that the zombie sea beast's attacks wouldn't cause her serious damage, and that it wouldn't jump within range of her attacks.
Because the zombie sea monster was injured, and the several frozen blood holes restricted its body, its speed was slower than Gu Xi's.
So Gu Xi used himself as bait, flying to a spot not far from its horn and provoking it with his spikes.
Sensing the enemy's location, the zombie sea monster unleashed another full-scale attack, chasing after Gu Xi's aura.
Gu Xi also started circling around it, following its attack.
The circle kept circling, sometimes higher, sometimes lower, ensuring the zombie sea monster never lost its goal or hunger. Meanwhile, her spikes would occasionally poke and pierce its body from behind.
The human and the sea monster chased each other for quite a while.
The zombie sea monster was really getting angry because it could see the enemy but couldn't attack them.
It opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp teeth, and unleashed another attack method.
Its sharp horns and teeth were so hard, yet its body was so soft. These two extremes coexisting in one fish gave Gu Xi a sudden feeling that it might accidentally poke itself.
Without realizing it, Gu Xi spontaneously sped up.
The injured sea monster was clearly struggling to keep up, but the zombie sea monster's attack instincts compelled it to chase after the attack even at the cost of its life.
result……
Pfft—
Ah, its horn pierced its own tail, and its teeth bit off its own tail.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Gu Xi exclaimed.
Knowing it couldn't speak, Gu Xi spoke for it.
Then the zombie sea monster clung to its severed tail and rolled around in a ball. Gu Xi felt a surge of sympathy and thought that even though it was a zombie sea monster, it shouldn't be tortured too much, so she kept poking it with the spikes until it completely sank into the sea before stopping.
After venting her sympathy, Gu Xi still felt somewhat unsatisfied, so she said to Ai Si:
"Ais! These zombie sea monsters are quite pitiful, let's not let them freeze, let's just send them on their way!"
"Plop plop..."
When Ai Si heard this, a mix of emotions—doubt, speechlessness, and frustration—filled his mind, leaving him feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to say.
He looked up, and the snow covered the remaining zombie sea beasts, freezing them solid into ice blocks. Then he squeezed them with his hand.
The second step is the Ice Burial.
Ai Si compressed his mental energy, and with a crash, the ice shattered into pieces and sank into the sea.
"...Ais, you moved too fast!"
Before Gu Xi could speak, she wanted to say that they should leave the sea monster ice wall behind, as it might come in handy later.
"Pfft... Thanks~"
Gu Xi mysteriously sank, maneuvering the spikes back to the ship.
