Mary's tyrannical appearance attracted the attention of the fish-shaped astral beast the moment she appeared.
Both of them were grade 4 creatures and had an extraordinarily sharp intuition towards the dangerous aura of the other. However, to the astral beasts, they were the predators that wandered the depths of the sea of stars, and the beings of other planes were just prey.
As for whether the prey was strong or not, the only difference was the difficulty of the hunt!
Hence, the moment this strange astral beast discovered Mary, it launched a ferocious attack.
This fish-shaped astral beast was ten meters long, and its entire body was flat and narrow. It had a sharp mouth, back, and two sides of its body had sharp fins. Its appearance was similar to a deep-sea spindle-shaped ribbonfish. However, its appearance was more ruthless, malevolent, and ugly.
The strength of this strange astral beast lay in its innate ability to devour magic.
Its seemingly smooth black body had an abnormally strange energy field on its surface, which could disrupt any spell structure, causing it to revert back to chaotic and disorderly magic energy. Then, it could devour the magic energy and convert it into its own power to attack the enemy.
With this ability, it was practically the natural enemy of all elemental Magi!
However, if one thought that it was weak in close combat just because it had the innate ability to devour magic, then one would be gravely mistaken. Its long and sharp mouth and smooth, sharp fins, propelled by extreme speed, were comparable to grade 4 anti-magic weapons. Even in close combat, this astral beast's destructive power far surpassed that of other planes' creatures.
The fish-shaped astral beasts were known for their speed and magic devouring, and Mary, who had made a grand entrance, was also known for her extraordinary agility. When the two fellows, who both relied on speed to make a living, came together, the battle scene was simply 'unbearable'.
It was truly unbearable, and not just a description!
One fish and one human were like two erratic ghosts, chasing and killing each other, leaving a series of afterimages in the sky that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Both sides chased and strangled each other, using all sorts of methods to tear off a piece of flesh from each other's body. The danger of the battle was not inferior to a bloody battlefield in the slightest.
Human Magi relied more on magic tools, magic items, and all sorts of scrolls, potions, and instant magic wands to fight. Although human Magi could also activate powerful elemental spells, when fighting at the same rank, the enemy would not usually give them enough time to cast spells.
Therefore, when Mary was fighting, she almost gave up on all methods of attack that required casting spells, and only focused on simple and quick physical attacks. As for her witchcraft ability, it was all manifested in the three witchcraft special effects of 'Laceration', 'Bleeding' and 'Sharpness' on the Bee Sting Dagger.
Mary was indeed a Blood Witch. All of her fighting methods revolved around creating wounds for her enemies. As long as the enemy was wounded and bled, the Blood Shaman would only become stronger and braver as he fought.
In the end, her enemies would be horrified to find that they were fighting with their own blood. No matter how he attacked or how he attacked Mary, he would only lose his life energy.
This was actually the most powerful and troublesome aspect of the Blood Wizards!
The fish-shaped Star Beast only realized this after fighting for a while.
After all, it was good at swallowing monsters. Its speed was only fast compared to other creatures. In the face of Mary, an assassin-type Blood Witch who specialized in agility, its speed was not worth mentioning.
One wrong move, and his hands and feet were tied!
Although its speed was fast enough, it was still a little slower than Mary's. With this, it was enough for Mary to play with it like she was playing with a baby.
The two of them fought for a quarter of an hour. Mary was completely unscathed, but the Star Beast had three scars on its body that were deep enough to reach its bones. The strange skin on the surface of the opponent's body might have the powerful abilities of Submerged Demon and Swallowed Demon, but it was obvious that its physical defense was much weaker.
Seeing that it could not catch up to Mary and was even injured, the fish-shaped Star Beast was extremely furious. It could clearly feel the wisps of blood energy dissipating from its wounds, and even its life energy was slowly flowing away.
The 'thin' body of the enemy not far away was also surging with blood energy, as if it was slowly absorbing its life energy through its wounds.
The fish-shaped Star Beast was not stupid, and it immediately changed its tactics.
With a swing of its long tail, it quickly distanced itself from Mary's blood-red figure. After pulling away a certain distance, it opened its mouth wide and shot a jet black poisonous arrow at Mary.
Since I can't beat you in close combat, I'll use long-range attacks!
After pulling a distance, the fish-shaped Star Beast seemed to be half a spellcaster.
At least, its poisonous arrow had multiple magical properties of poison and corrosion. It was still difficult for ordinary creatures to defend against it.
"Hmph, since you're serious, I'll let you see my true power!" Mary laughed softly, and her whole body turned into a bloody light. She dodged the poisonous arrow and pounced at the opponent.
Seeing that the other party was approaching, the fish-shaped star beast did not dodge. It coiled its body and used its sharp fins and tail to protect its torso. It opened its mouth wide and spat out another poisonous arrow that turned into black water toward Mary.
"Koslin, help me suppress its mind!"
"Yes!"
In the hidden mental channel, Mary and Kathleen had always maintained the closest connection. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was about to defend and counterattack, Mary gave Koslin the first order since the start of the battle.
The next moment, a gloomy and cold spiritual wave entangled the fish-shaped star beast, and the two extremely powerful spiritual consciousnesses pulled at each other crazily. Koslin wanted to pull the Star Beast's consciousness into the Nightmare Weave, and the Star Beast naturally struggled with all its might, hoping to break free from the mental suppression.
The two powerful consciousnesses collided and tangled, and in an instant, the victor was decided. Koslin lost, and the Star Beast won. However, the victorious Star Beast could not help but feel sluggish. Its defensive movements became slightly stiff and deformed.
But this little bit of time was enough for Mary!
The blood energy in Mary's body was instantly raised to the limit. Her body, which was originally only a series of afterimages, became a thin line of blood that pierced straight through the center of the fish-shaped Star Beast's body.
Defense failed!
A strange cry that sounded like a cow's roar echoed throughout the battlefield. The fish-shaped Star Beast was unharmed a moment ago, but in the next moment, its stomach and intestines were pierced. Its flesh and blood turned into a fountain of blood that splashed everywhere.
There was a giant bloody hole in the middle of its ten-meter-long body. Pitch-black fish blood and pieces of flesh rained down from the sky.
However, even with such severe injuries, the level 4 Star Beast did not die. Instead, it endured the pain and turned around to escape into the distance.
Looking at its speedy figure, it seemed that even its speed wasn't affected much.
Thunderous cheers and cheers immediately came from the Wizard's Pagoda below the battlefield.
"Trying to escape? No way … "It was Mary's first time attacking, and she did not manage to catch any prey. How could she tolerate such a situation? She decided to spread her bat wings and give chase.
However, in the next moment, Wizard Andrews had already silently appeared in front of her, blocking her path.
"Lady Mary, don't be in such a hurry!"
"Move aside. I'll settle the score with you if my prey gets lost!"
"Don't worry, Lady Mary. I've already sent the Pterosaur team." Andrews had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of fear and respect in his eyes. He said, "That Star Beast is heavily injured. The Pterosaur team is more than enough to take care of it. The Space Crack is an important matter, and it cannot be left without you. Let them chase after the prey! Don't worry, that prey will be delivered to you unscathed in less than half a day … "
As if to verify his words, a dozen black dots rose from a Wizard's Pagoda at the end of the horizon. They let out sharp cries as they chased after the direction the Star Beast had escaped.
That was a mixed-blood Pterosaur with level 3 abilities. Paired with a level 3 Wizard, its basic battle capabilities were not to be underestimated.
"Hmph, remember to send the prey to my castle immediately after you catch it. This Star Beast's strange Magic Engulf attribute is very rare. I still have to study it properly! " After proudly declaring her sovereignty, Mary retracted her bat wings and transformed into a ray of red light as she charged into the sky. She disappeared into a strange ancient castle that was protected by many War Wizard Pagodas.
After seeing Mary leave, Andrews stood silently in the sky.
Above him, the Space Crack was still churning and trembling, spewing out terrifying Void Hurricanes that could corrode one's bones and corrode one's flesh. In such an environment, an ordinary person would not even be able to last three seconds before their flesh and blood would corrode, their bones would crumble, and they would be torn to shreds by the berserk energy.
Even if it was a Wizard who left the protection of the Wizard's Pagoda and wanted to move freely on the battlefield, they would have to put up an Elemental Shield. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger.
Only high-level Wizards like him or Mary could use their formless Life Force Field to block the Void Hurricanes outside their bodies, and their movements would not be restricted.
As for the Star Beasts, they were like fish in water in this cruel environment that Wizards regarded as a land of death. Not only did they not feel any pressure from the Void Hurricanes, but they could also use the fluctuations of the Magic Tide to create torrents of energy, turning them into their own weapons.
Thus, in such an environment, high-level Wizards could only endure it, while the Star Beasts could completely blend in and adapt to it.
It was just this small difference, but it imperceptibly magnified and widened the gap between the Wizards and the Star Beasts!
Andrews was a Bloodline Wizard, and he could transform into a Berserk Giant Lizard. He had powerful defense and biting strength, and he also had the terrifying ability to petrify.
However, with his abilities, it might be easy to defeat the Star Beast, but it would be extremely difficult to make it stay. In fact, if the Star Beast was a little more cunning and engaged in guerilla warfare, Andrews might lose the support of the Wizard's Pagoda, and the chances of him losing the battle would be higher.
However, such a Star Beast that was not inferior to him had been heavily injured by Mary. Moreover, looking at the way she fought, it seemed that she did not use her full power, and this made him even more fearful.
Even though he knew that after a Wizard grew up, their respective talents and Wizard Equipment would widen the gap between them. However, he could only look on helplessly as an extremely young "junior" grew to a level that he had to look up to …
