Taut

As the bowstring was pulled taut, powerful crossbow bolts harnessed the energy from the string and defied gravity, soaring upward towards the approaching enemies.

The Sea Crystal Wyrm dived at incredible speed, slightly adjusting its posture to easily avoid this spa.r.s.e barrage. It fell abruptly amid the terrified gazes of the demons.

With the sound of flesh being torn apart, like the crackling of beans frying, limbs and body parts flew in all directions.

In the face of the sixth-tier Sea Crystal Wyrm, whether it was the lowest-ranking Single-Horned Fiends, Two-Headed Hounds, or higher-level Wing Fiends, there was little difference under its razor-sharp claws. A single strike meant death.

After completing its dive, the Sea Crystal Wyrm pulled up slightly in alt.i.tude and began spewing beams of light. The speed of light was like a machine gun firing in bursts, efficiently clearing the demons on the mudflats.

When Ji Chen stepped onto the damp mudflat, there were no more demons left standing.

Ignoring the broken bodies littering the ground and the nauseating stench of blood, Ji Chen walked to a wooden box that the demons had hastily dropped in their panic. He picked up a steel trident from the damaged box.

The trident was engraved with patterns of the ocean, displaying exquisite craftsmanship, indicating that it was likely part of the loot from the demons’ raid on the marine tribe’s supply station.

In fact, Ji Chen still didn’t know why the demons had turned hostile toward the marine tribe. Did the orcs know about this?

If the orcs knew, they would probably curse their bad luck.

Deeper within the island, it seemed that the demons had also sensed Ji Chen’s sudden attack. Hundreds of demons emerged from the forest, their claws and fangs bared.

The Sea Crystal Wyrm advanced once again, harvesting the demons’ lives like wheat.

Ji Chen didn’t move but instead looked in the direction of the forest. Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and a rain of blades descended from above.

As soon as a claw emerged from the air, it was covered by the rain of blades and quickly retracted in pain.

Not far away, the legendary-level Demon Hunter slowly appeared, his face filled with darkness and resentment.

d.a.m.n it!

Why does this human show up everywhere!?

Previously, during the two attempts at ambushes on the Panas Coast, not only did they fail to a.s.sa.s.sinate Theodore and this human, but they also suffered heavy casualties among their own kind. Even he had been seriously injured.

Contemplating a retreat to their rear base for healing and preparations for the final showdown, he was taken by surprise when this human, who had been a constant source of frustration, unexpectedly sought him out shortly after his arrival.

It seemed like he was chasing them to the ends of the earth!

If the Demon Hunter had known about this, he might have cursed his rotten luck.

This human was no ordinary person; even the Demon Hunter couldn’t fathom his true strength.

The demon hunter sensed the less-than-ideal state of his body and felt a bit apprehensive.

Seeing this “old acquaintance,” Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of delight. This time, he wouldn’t let this demon hunter escape.

As the demon hunter noticed the delighted look in the human’s eyes, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Alarm bells rang loudly in his mind. He immediately tried to teleport away from his current location, but all around him, a sudden blue light enveloped him, making his body sluggish. He felt both his physical and spiritual aspects being suppressed.

His heart trembled suddenly.

d.a.m.n it, this is a domain!

[Ocean Domain (Golden Skill, can activate a domain with a radius of eight hundred meters, reducing the enemy’s various attributes by 0-90% within the domain, with the reduction based on the difference in strength between enemies and allies. Reduces physical and magical damage by 50% and mana consumption by 50%; the domain can absorb nearby water sources, forming a suspended water area in the air).]

“Ding- The Legendary-tier Demon Hunter has been covered by the Ocean Domain, reducing all attributes by 45% and spatial movement capability by 50%.”

Hearing the prompt from the system, Ji Chen’s smile grew even wider.

The most troublesome aspect of Demon Hunters was their spatial movement ability, which allowed them to move freely and made it challenging to inflict effective damage.

Now, under the influence of his Ocean Domain, their escape ability was significantly reduced by half, and with few demons around to hinder them, it was the best opportunity for a kill.

The legendary-tier Demon Hunter also sensed this and his face turned pale. He immediately attempted to use spatial movement to escape the suppression.

However, within the domain, his body became extremely rigid, even the flow of demon blood within him slowed down, and his abilities were greatly affected. A single spatial movement could only take him a hundred meters.

But the domain’s range was a full eight hundred meters, so he would need to teleport eight times to escape, taking at least twenty seconds to get away!

Forget about twenty seconds; he felt that even staying for a second in front of this human was dangerous!

The legendary-tier Demon Hunter dodged the attacks of numerous water-based weapons while feeling miserable. Soon, he had multiple wounds, and his body became weaker and weaker.

Ji Chen, a nearly level 50 epic-tier profession, with the terrifying suppression power of his domain, and the acute perception brought by the power of the ocean, had an absolute advantage over the merely legendary Demon Hunter in terms of stats and hard power.

The Demon Hunter, who was infamous among elves and humans, was being toyed with like a plaything by Ji Chen, desperately evading lethal water-based weapons.

Finally, he abandoned his dignity and begged for mercy.

“Human, spare me, and I’ll give you all the supplies here!”

Ji Chen sneered. “After I kill you, the supplies here will all be mine.”

The Demon Hunter, seeing that Ji Chen was determined to kill him, cursed bitterly, but he was powerless to stop himself from growing weaker step by step.

Ten minutes later.

A blade pierced the Demon Hunter’s heart, extinguishing his life.

“Ding- You have killed the legendary-tier Demon Hunter Varudo Mubarak, gaining 250,000 experience points, and leveling up (Level 48—>49).”

“Ding- You have killed the legendary-tier Demon Hunter, inadvertently delaying the demons’ plan, increasing the completion rate of the instance by 10%, currently at 70%.”

The fall of the legendary-tier demon hunter brought about an increase in Ji Chen’s level and another boost in the completion percentage of the instance.

Now, with a full completion percentage of 100% for the instance rewards within reach, there was only 30% left to obtain.

However, what did it mean by “inadvertently delaying the demons’ plan” in the notification?

Could it be that there is something hidden on this island that should remain unseen?

Seeing the powerful Demon Hunter being killed, the demons’ morale plummeted, and a rout quickly ensued as they fled into the forest.

The forest was dense, even the Sea Crystal Wyverns found it difficult to enter and pursue them. Seeing this, Ji Chen ordered them to stop and followed the path the demons had opened through the woods, heading deeper into the island.

Deep within the island, there was a well-hidden natural cave, where the demons had stored all the resources they had transported and looted. In the depths of the cave was a demonic altar built by demons.

The altar was made of blue stone, and its walls were carved with grotesque reliefs. Inside the altar lay the bodies of thousands of elves, humans, and sea creatures, and the dark red blood stained the entire altar.

[Demon Sacrificial Altar]

[Effect]: Sacrificing a large number of living beings can summon higher-order demons, current progress [8548/10000]

Well, it turns out the demons were tinkering with this thing. If he had arrived a little later, they could have summoned a higher-tier demon through a ritual not inferior to the legendary-level Demon Hunter.

However, it was clear that this was probably just a side quest, and it wouldn’t contribute much to the instance completion.

Ji Chen casually destroyed the sacrificial altar, and the system prompt sounded in his ear.

“Ding- You have destroyed the demon’s sacrificial altar, thwarting the demon’s plan, and increasing the instance completion by 10%, currently at 80%.”

Good, another 10% completion added. Now, only 20% completion is left to obtain.

He had a rough idea of this remaining 20% completion. Most likely, it would be achieved when he successfully repelled the orc and demon armies and defended the Panas Coast.

If that’s the case, then all he needed to do now was to return to the Panas Coast, wait for the Sea Clan to mobilize, and he could complete this instance..
