The merchant was sent flying several meters away by the blow.
The businessman's arrogance had lessened somewhat.
He covered his bleeding wrist with his intact hand and began to scream like a madman.
"Destroy my magical artifact! I'll take your life!"
At this moment, his defenses had been breached, and he had completely abandoned his pretense, erupting in rage.
I stared intently at him as he ripped off the tattered cloth covering his entire upper body.
Now I could see clearly that the upper body was all rotten, bluish-white dried flesh, like a zombie.
Meanwhile, more than a dozen sharp spikes rose from the ground out of thin air as he unleashed this attack using all his strength.
It's actually those lifeless corals that rose up!
At the same time, Lei Jijian transmitted a message in my mind, and only then did I look up.
A huge net made of coral has fallen from the sky.
Damn it, this is a dead end.
In my panic, I suddenly heard the girl's familiar voice.
"Brother, be careful!"
The girl focused her gaze and saw the large net flying off in another direction at an extremely fast speed.
OK!
Seeing that the girl had recovered, I first washed her, and then quickly helped her turn over to avoid the coral's attack.
Lightning Sword rushed over immediately and cleaved two pieces of coral.
This completely broke the merchant's guard.
"If you destroy my magical artifact, you will all be buried here with me! Including that claw on your arm just now!"
The merchant seemed to know his stuff. I took a deep breath, then activated the Dragon Scale Claw and, with the protection of the barrier within my body, quickly circled around to the merchant's back.
The fist slammed into the crevice of his coral body, striking hard near his heart!
That's when I noticed that his stiff back was covered in tattered coral.
The moment the dragon scales pierced through, I immediately summoned the Thunderstrike Sword to attack from the front.
"Ahhhhh..."
The merchant let out a bloodcurdling scream as the energy within his body was instantly detonated by the double pressure.
I could see clearly that the muscles at the front were rotting in large chunks, like they were sinking to the bottom of the sea.
His coral-like body began to crack open piece by piece, and he screamed as he fell to the ground.
Fine! I'll let you push your luck here.
"Master is awesome! That was a complete surprise attack!"
Lei Jijian's tone clearly carried a hint of energy and spirit.
I looked at the girl, and at that moment, the gloom on her face had mostly disappeared.
"It's useless...you...will die with me!"
The merchant was knocked to the ground, but he kept muttering to himself.
I was a bit confused. What kind of nonsense was this guy spouting? Buried alive with someone?
I'll pay you back my head!
Why do you keep asking me to die with you?
You yourself are already halfway to the grave.
No, they should be buried already!
At this moment, Yiyi slowly opened her eyes. I looked at her, her eyes filled with a hazy, sleepy feeling, and a touch of cute playfulness.
"You're finally awake! Just now, you looked like you were resonating with the sea! It was terrifying."
I exchanged a few pleasantries with Yiyi, but at that moment, she was looking at the merchant who had fallen to the ground and was groaning with a very serious expression.
Now, it's impossible to tell that he's still a businessman.
He was already a dying man.
Faced with the dual pressure of my powerful punch and the lightning sword, it would be difficult for the unscrupulous businessman not to confess.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
However, Yi Yi spoke with a hint of sorrow, each word carefully chosen.
"Brother, when I was still a little dazed just now, I thought I heard this guy drawing a spell. The one he mentioned earlier... was it the Seaquake Spell?"
I was surprised; I hadn't expected Yiyi to hear it so clearly.
It seems that the merchant's method only superficially rendered the girl unconscious.
Furthermore, judging from the timing, it was probably after the bell was restricted and the girl had regained some clarity that she drew the spell.
She actually heard the Seaquake Curse?
"How to put it, it's the Seaquake Curse."
"That's a huge problem! Quick, clean up all the seabed he just cleared!"
I don't quite understand, this has already been cleaned up very thoroughly!
What else is there?
I asked Yiyi, "Isn't this formation just the trick that merchant played earlier?"
Yiyi then provided a detailed explanation.
Her tone was somewhat aloof.
In fact, although this kind of spell is extremely vicious, its drawback is that it requires extremely strict conditions.
However, if the elements within are powerful, it will accelerate the formation of this formation!
The girl's judgment coincided with mine: the main character of this formation was definitely not me, but the girl herself!
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but shudder.
This means that the girl's own strength far exceeds the strength of the elements within the formation under normal circumstances.
Although the merchant's formation was not fully formed, the girl's power was secretly driving it forward!
I couldn't help but curse under my breath, wondering which side this girl was on.
If you're still just a nobody, you might never amount to anything in your lifetime.
Furthermore, this body of water has been constantly eroded by the energy spread by merchants, and there are far too many unjustly killed souls and wandering ghosts here.
Overall, it formed an extremely yin place.
This place is a dead zone!
I looked down sharply and found that the coral, which had just been cleared away by the torpedo ship, had been wrapped up again and spread all over the place!
It's a complete mess and utterly disgusting!
Damn it, wasn't that merchant already lying there?
My gaze fell on the fallen merchant, whose coral fragments were falling off in large pieces, leaving him in a very disheveled state.
However, you can still clearly see his fingers, which are still hooked, as if he is casting a spell!
You monster, you must not be allowed to live.
I immediately directed the lightning sword to deliver the final blow to this guy.
But unexpectedly, after the lightning sword struck decisively, this guy was cleaved in two just like the seaweed monster from before.
However, after a short time, this guy's body was like seaweed, except that the seaweed was replaced by coral, and his body began to slowly reorganize!
And the scattered runes on the ground began to reappear!
A chill ran down my spine.
Forget about the lightning sword, look down here!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lei Jijian understood my thoughts in an instant.
It also directly slashed at the coral underwater with a flurry of swords.
In an instant, a scene of swift and decisive action emerged.
The girl, I, and Lei Jijian—the three of us—began frantically slashing at the tangled coral below.
This feeling was really strange, and it also had a sticky feeling.
However, as time went on, the tangled mess on it grew longer and more numerous, and the luster of the patterns began to become more prominent!
Is this what he meant by being buried with him?
