Chapter 500 - 505: Deep Sea Demon King
Chapter 500 - 505: Deep Sea Demon King
Several thousand meters deep under the sea.
This is the deepest part of the trench.
Darkness surrounds the area, an immense pressure pressing in from all sides constantly.
Hang Yu is wearing an underwater breathing mask, having explored continuously for a whole day, only resting for an hour to return to Jiang City for supplies, spending the rest of the time searching in this sunless, pitch-black place.
The environment here is extremely poor, not only frequently featuring various natural traps, but the occasional monster encountered also has formidable strength.
Of course.
These are all insignificant.
With Hang Yu’s current power.
There are few things in the Earth Dragon Realm that can threaten him.
His only concern is the lack of time, as he is now racing against it!
Just then.
Hang Yu felt a headache, as though several thin, pointed steel needles simultaneously stabbed different spots on his scalp into his brain, causing his body to twitch involuntarily and lose Life Energy at a rate of five or six points per second.
Mental attack?
Hang Yu had just thought of this.
All around, many ghostly blue lights appeared, like will-o’-wisps in the depths of the sea, but upon closer inspection, one would find that each was a semi-transparent ghost.
They were densely packed!
Thousands of them!
They covered the space on all sides, including overhead.
These beings seemed to have suddenly appeared.
Besides the absurd number of ghosts, there were also some large, ugly, terrifying sea monsters, such as giant crabs, shark beasts, octopus monsters. Judging by the aura they emitted, these monsters were at least Lord-level or above.
Confronted with such a lineup.
Even Heska would be distressed.
However, when faced with the situation, Hang Yu didn’t panic but instead showed excitement because he knew he wasn’t far from his goal.
Hang Yu took a blue Skill Scroll named "Holy Will" and activated it, which provided him with an 80-point Will boost for a considerable time.
It’s worth noting.
Hang Yu has two Fourth-tier inheritances, three pieces of Purple Equipment, the Spiritual Profession treasure Soul-Sealing Pearl, and the Abyssal Bloodline, making his Will Attribute and Abnormal Resistance exceptionally high.
What does an additional 80 points signify?
Hang Yu opened his eyes once more, and all surrounding monsters disappeared instantly; these were mental phantoms, unable to be eliminated, and impossible to destroy.
Without high Will attributes, one would suffer attacks from the phantoms, resulting in harm, but with high enough attributes, these phantoms could be ignored.
Sprinting with full force.
Hang Yu’s super-speed movement.
Drilled a path through the seawater.
And as he advanced.
The mental attacks grew increasingly intense.
Hang Yu’s head began to ache again, and terrifying, ugly whispers constantly surfaced in his ears, making the silent, dark deep sea especially horrific, a great test of mental resilience.
What powerful mental attacks!
With Hang Yu’s current Will attributes, plus the Spiritual Resistance from his Abyssal Bloodline, he was still attacked, but fortunately, his recovery rate is astonishing.
Losing eight or nine Life Energy per second.
Yet gaining over ten Life Energy per second.
The rapid recovery rate far surpasses the loss rate, posing no threat to Hang Yu, maintaining full Life Energy, while the Abyssal Bloodline boosts allowed him to resist the sluggishness, paralysis, and dizziness caused by the mental attacks.
Hang Yu felt relieved; had it not been for the timely making of the Abyss Secret Medicine, he couldn’t have explored this trench so easily, increasing preparation and exploration difficulty greatly.
Not long afterward.
Within Hang Yu’s perception range, some monsters appeared.
These monsters looked like massive seaweeds growing from the trench rocks, quietly twisting in the seawater, but upon approaching, it was clear they were purple-black tentacles filled with barbs.
Hang Yu recognized them.
[Demon King’s Touch], Level 17 Bronze Overlord Monster!
This is a very troublesome and very special monster, both an individual and a collective.
If the guess is correct, there’d be nearly a hundred "Abyss Demon King’s Touch" nearby, each existing independently but actually controlled by the same Will.
That being the "Deep Sea Demon King"!
From its name, you can tell...it is a King Monster, a Bronze King, different from the Red Sand Demon King Hang Yu faced before; the Red Sand Demon King was a subspecies, whereas this is an authentic monster!
King-level monsters are extremely rare.
And extremely difficult to deal with; many West Sea Province’s native beings exist, yet none dared near this area due to the presence of the Deep Sea Demon King.
This being excels in mental attacks; numbers hold no advantage against it, insufficient resistance or Will attributes lead to death against its indiscriminate mental attacks!
According to what Hang Yu knows.
The Deep Sea Demon King’s location.
Is the entrance to the Relic City.
The exact appearance of the Relic City in the West Sea Province, Hang Yu knows little about it, possibly related to ancient divine battles or legendary conflicts.
During the time, the Deep Sea Demon King was placed here by powerful forces to guard the Relic City, but afterward, no one came; it became a Forgotten City.
Finding the Deep Sea Demon King is enough!
Hang Yu dared not be careless.
He knows well the power of a King Monster.
Without reinforcements, he must fight alone, without a Doctor.
Therefore, directly attacking the King Monster’s body is foolish suicide!
Hang Yu found a few ways to deal with the Deep Sea Demon King through inherent memory, but given current circumstances, only violent means could be used, eliminating the Deep Sea Demon King directly.
Such monsters are extremely rare.
Generally, they require decades to reincarnate.
That rarity makes them valuable; defeating a King Monster would yield great rewards.
"The Deep Sea Demon King’s power mainly derives from these Demon King’s Touch; as long as I maintain my current state and destroy all these tentacles, the Deep Sea Demon King will become a toothless tiger."
Let’s do it!
Hang Yu drew his weapon and rushed towards the nearest Demon King’s Touch.
The Deep Sea Demon King’s attack is indiscriminately wide-ranged, meaning numbers hold no advantage, all of them getting mentally disturbed, dragged into illusions.
However.
Like Hang Yu.
With ultra-high Will, Spiritual Resistance, resisting the wide-range indiscriminate mental attacks from the Deep Sea Demon King, mastering the right methods, Hang Yu’s strength gives him hope for victory.
The Abyss Demon King’s Touch attacks fiercely.
Yet even as a Level 17 Bronze Overlord, it poses no threat to Hang Yu.
The fight lasted five to six minutes before Hang Yu successfully eliminated the first Demon King’s Touch.
Strangely.
Nothing was dropped.
Not even Spiritual Qi.
Because the Deep Sea Demon King’s Touch is part of the Deep Sea Demon King, eliminating part of this monster’s body results in no drop, but this large tentacle has collection value.
The Deep Sea Demon King’s Touch yields collections of various extremely rare blue materials.
This includes Chaos Blood, for making Abyss Secret Medicine.
After Hang Yu destroyed a tentacle, others seemed to sense and retreated to crevices and caves, but Hang Yu patiently used Spatial Perception to search, driving and eliminating each one.
After several Demon King’s Touches were exterminated.
Hang Yu clearly felt a reduction in the surrounding Spiritual Power.
But the Skill Scroll effect wore off, requiring him to halt, retreat to the real world, briefly rest, resupply, and re-enter.
All around.
Taking over twenty hours!
Finally, eliminating all tentacles in the region.
Hang Yu approached the core area slowly, encountering a massive, incredibly ugly monster.
Its body was fixed, humanoid, composed entirely of tentacles, draped in a black, tattered robe, looking both disgusting and terrifying.
That thing is the body!
