Chapter 254 Power of the Archangel; A Strange Ocean
The diamond skeleton sensed the thin power in its body. It raised its head and roared, "I want to get back the power I lost!"
Suddenly, a blinding white light lit up on a pitch-black plain.
The soul flame in the diamond skeleton's eye sockets flickered for a moment and became cold.
"Light is the most annoying aura of light. Those bastards with wings are really annoying!"
As it spoke, it took a step forward.
Holy Zither had just swept away the undead in front of her with her sword when she realized that there was a strange skeleton in front of her.
It was as if it had appeared in front of her out of thin air.
The skeleton looked at her quietly. There was no aura coming out of its body but Holy Zither's heart was palpitating.
An inexplicable sense of danger.
She actually smelled the aura of death.
At this moment, the skeleton slowly struck out a palm at her.
In an instant, the entire space froze.
Then, it suddenly shattered.
It was as if even time had stopped. Space shattered into pieces like a mirror. Underneath the poignant beauty was an extremely terrifying killing intent.
Holy Zither's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Divine-ranked!
This was the power of divine-level!
She could not move. She could only watch as her companions shattered into pieces along with space itself. They died without a sound.
Holy Zither activated all the power in her body. An intense white light shot out from her body.
She flashed into the void and disappeared.
The diamond skeleton looked in the direction where Holy Zither had escaped and muttered to himself, "The aura of an archangel. Interesting."
He then took a step forward.
Joelson rode on the back of the steel dragon while Du Lu and Hades were escorting him from left and right. The three dragons were swimming slowly on a piece of water.
This was a world of water. There was no land or vegetation.
His eyes were all gray-blue, the color of blue where all life had faded. The water surface was calm and there were no waves at all. The sea was like stagnant water and it seemed that he could still smell the briny smell.
At this moment, he was the only one left.
Oswede chose to stay on the upper level.
After the lava tyrant was killed by Joelon, there was no longer any threat to him in the upper level.
And the heart of the lava giant was very beneficial to Oswede, so he simply stayed and continued to collect the lava hearts.
The Silver Dragon Princess Tiffany was also handed over to Oswede to take care of.
The bigger reason was that Oswede deeply felt that he had already become a burden to Joelson.
Although late-stage saint-level strength was not weak, it was still not enough to look at the lost divine kingdom that was everywhere in this Saint Realm.
Any magic creature that was close to the divine realms's domain would be able to shock Oswede. It was like walking on a tightrope in the sky above the abyss.
In the end, he had entered the ruins for the sake of benefits. There was no need for Oswede to continue taking risks.
Joelson had been traveling in the dead water domain for a very long time but he had never encountered any danger.
However, this strange and deathly silent environment still made him not dare to relax easily. His mind had always been in a state of high alert.
The sensing power of the air-type law covered an area of a hundred miles around him. It was difficult for him to go any further down.
The dead water was also filled with the aura of the undead, so he could not sense it. He could only rely on the power of the water law to vaguely sense it.
Splash!
The water waves quietly parted and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water and shot toward Joelson like an arrow.
Joelson's eyes were calm and his hands did not move at all.
Hades moved to the side like a ghost and his bone claws, which were wrapped in faint black flames, quietly swept past. The black shadow was torn into two pieces before it could get close.
Two ugly bodies fell on the water.
It was a very big and strange fish. Half of its cut abdomen had rotted away, revealing its white bones. Sharp long teeth grew out of the mouth of the fish head. It looked ferocious and terrifying.
The appearance of this strange fish seemed to have lit a fuse. In the following period of time, similar strange fish kept jumping out from under the water.
Some had long mouths like tuna, some had fins as sharp as a knife, and some would rush up and self-destruct. The stinky black liquid produced by self-destruction was extremely corrosive. Even combat aura would be corroded.
However, with the presence of Du Lu, Hades, and the steel dragon—as well as the powerful strength of Joelson himself—it did not cause much trouble for him.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream came from afar.
Joelson's expression changed. It was the scream of a human.
He subconsciously commanded the steel dragon to fly over.
From afar, only a few figures could be seen flying in the air. On the surface of the sea below them, more than ten thick and long black tentacles were waving wildly.
The strength of these tentacles was astonishing. With a casual strike, they could make a saint-level knight's chest cave in and violently spit out blood.
Once he was entangled and dragged into the water, there was no possibility of him coming out.
"Humph!"
A knight who was emitting a green combat aura shook off the tentacles and dodged an attack in a sorry state. When he suddenly saw the figure of Joelson, he did not have time to be surprised and immediately shouted, "Sir, please help me!"
As he was saying this, several tentacles suddenly attacked him at the same time. The knight's face was filled with shock.
He managed to cut off one tentacle but the second one had already taken the opportunity to knock down the longsword in his hand. The third and fourth tentacles seized the opportunity to wrap around his body and drag him down.
Thinking of the previous encounter of his companions, his face revealed a terrified expression. He struggled with all his might but to no avail. His eyes became desperate.
At this moment, a platinum light flashed across the knight's eyes.
His body suddenly became light, waiting for him to come back to his senses.
He was surprised to find that the few black attacks that could not even break the tenacity of a saint-level warrior power had been neatly cut in the middle.
The cut was smooth as if it had been cut off by an extremely sharp weapon.
The knight was shocked. How powerful was this person!
In an instant, Joelson came in front of the knight. He waved his white-gold power and, in a few seconds, all the dancing tentacles on the surface of the sea were completely cut off by him.
Hades quietly dived to the bottom of the sea. The surface of the water began to stir crazily as if it was boiling.
Soon, Hades flapped the dragon wings formed from the bones and flew up. Under his claws was a huge black octopus monster.
It was the strength of a late-stage saint-level.
Hades suddenly exerted force, and the bone claws that were surrounded by black aura pierced into the smooth skin of the octopus monster, forcefully tearing it apart.
Immediately, a fishy smell filled the air, and black liquid splashed everywhere. Hades dug out a blue-gray crystal from its brain and threw the octopus monster's body down.
Du Lu opened his mouth and spat out golden-red flames. The octopus monster started to burn and this large area of the sea was immediately set ablaze. It did not extinguish for a long time.
From the time that Joelson appeared, to Hades and Du Lu's cooperation to kill the octopus monster, it seemed like a long time. But, in fact, it did not even take a minute.
The few surviving saint-level powerhouses opened their eyes and saw that the terrifying monster that had almost wiped them out was killed in just a few hits. Not even its corpse was left behind.
They were extremely shocked as they looked at the few dragons and Joelson in shock.
They felt as if they had just escaped from a dangerous situation and had fallen into an even more terrifying one.
