The area of the Island of Storms was much larger than the Hidden Misty Island in the Sea of Death. Unlike the raging storms in the outer sea, there were no hurricanes around the Island of Storms, which was shrouded in thick fog. It was as if the tornadoes were a barrier around the Island of Storms.
"Roar!"
The sound of beasts roaring and slapping the surface of the water came from the fog. The roar soon turned into a whine. Ina knew that at least two giant Nether Snakes were finished. This kind of ferocious sea beast hidden in the fog, which made adventurers tremble with fear, was simply a tragedy when it encountered the even more 'ferocious' 'Richard'.
Ina and Lucio were quite immune to this kind of situation. Compared to breaking the tornadoes with their bare hands, this was child's play.
"There seems to be a ship on the shore in front!" Chen Rui's voice came from the air. "Turn 18 degrees southeast. Quick, get close!"
The Devil's Snare Ship quickly approached. Sure enough, they saw two ships moored on the shore.
One ship was fragmented, seemingly attacked by a giant Nether Snake. The other was relatively intact. There were no living people on either ship, only corpses.
The two ships should have arrived at the same time. The corpses on the ship that arrived first were man-made. Judging from their attire, they were ordinary crew members. They had died more than a day ago.
The ship that arrived later, which was suspected to have been attacked by a Nether Snake, should be Samuel's. The cause of death was obviously caused by sea beasts. Judging from the remaining bloodstains, the time of death was less than twelve hours. That was to say, Samuel had not been ashore for a long time.
Chen Rui looked at the magic compass that could not be used due to strong interference. "Wait for me here."
"I'll go with you! Items like the Magic Map can't be used here. "Ina glanced at the specially made Magic Eye Compass." I've completed two harvesting missions here, so I'm more familiar with the surrounding terrain than you are. It should be of help. "
Seeing the mercenary's firm eyes, Chen Rui pondered for a while and nodded. He ordered Lucio and the sandmen to stay on the shore. With the firepower and sturdiness of the Devil's Snare Ship, even if it encountered a surprise attack from sea beasts, it could still cope.
At this moment, somewhere on Storm Island, Samuel, whom Chen Rui was looking for, was in a fierce battle.
There were corpses lying all over the ground. Some of them were the guards who came with Samuel, and the rest were naturally the enemies. Behind Samuel was Joanna, who was being protected by several guards. Although many of the enemies had died, the remaining ones were all elites. There were about 30 of them, and they formed an encirclement. At the front was an armored swordsman, and at the back was a Magician with a wand.
In terms of individual strength, none of the enemies were a match for Samuel. However, these enemies were all well-trained and had a special combination formation that could disperse Samuel's powerful attacks to everyone in the formation, greatly reducing the damage. In addition, they deliberately targeted Joanna's attacks, causing Samuel to be unable to attend to one thing and lose sight of the other. For a moment, he was in a deadlock.
The last guard of the Ktribut Family fell, and Samuel's figure flashed in front of Joanna. The long sword in his hand twisted out a circle of arc light. Blood splashed everywhere, and two swordsmen who approached were cut in half.
A large amount of blood splashed on Joanna's long dress, and the stench went straight into her nostrils. The young lady resisted the fear and didn't make a sound. She was afraid of distracting Samuel, and her nails had already dug deep into her flesh.
"Dawn Extinction!" As Samuel shouted, there was another sword in his hand. A huge light mark appeared under his feet. As the two swords were waved, countless crisscrossed sharp rays spread around. Compared with the past, this move had been simplified a lot. It didn't have too many dazzling effects, but its power had increased instead. It was the result of Samuel's improvement after listening to Chen Rui's opinion.
After the light dissipated, the surrounding swordsmen fell in a circle, and even many of the mages in the rear were killed by this move.
Not long ago, Samuel used this move. At that time, the mages used a magic barrier combined with a special formation to offset most of the power, and only 4 enemies were killed. This time, the lethality was several times that of the last time. It was not that Samuel hid his strength before, but he suddenly realized another wonderful use of "Dawn Extinction" at the moment of crisis.
The 2 long swords in Samuel's hands only had a hilt left. It turned out that he deliberately compressed his power just now, crushed the blades, and sprayed them around in the light of Dawn Extinction. He broke through the surface with a single point, effectively penetrating the barrier of the mages, and achieved decisive results.
Although Samuel continuously used up a lot of power, only the 2 leaders of the enemy's swordsmen were left standing, and the mages in the back were almost exhausted of their magic power. They were basically no threat as if they were wolves who had lost their claws and teeth.
"As expected of someone who has entered the Saint level." The leader of the swordsmen covered the wound on his abdomen that had been pierced by a short blade, and blood kept flowing between his fingers. "We used all methods, but we still couldn't win when you had to take care of the hostages."
"You are the Knights of Light? Tell me who is behind you! This is your only chance to live! " Samuel's endurance had greatly improved. He quickly adjusted his breathing, and with a wave of his hand, a long sword on the ground appeared in his hand. Even if it was not a weapon that suited him, it was enough to deal with the remaining soldiers.
"You don't need to know." The swordsman smiled coldly, as if he didn't care about life and death at all. Samuel knew at a glance that they were men of sacrifice.
"Mr. Herbert, did … did Eliza ask you to do this?" Joanna's trembling voice was heard. The 2 leaders of the swordsmen, Herbert and Lorenz, were the Knights of Light that Eliza had sent to escort her back to Crimson Dragon City. This return to Crimson Dragon City was Eliza's idea, and the purpose was to get rid of Paul.
What surprised Joanna was that she didn't go to Vegas Town, which led to Crimson Dragon City. Instead, she was taken to the most dangerous place, Storm Island. If this was ordered by her good friend Eliza …
"I'm sorry, Miss Joanna. You won't get an answer here," Lorenz said. Lorenz opened his mouth. "I admit that we are no match for Samuel, but the real losers are you! You will all die here! "
Samuel didn't give his enemies time to recover. He snorted coldly and was about to finish them off when his expression suddenly changed.
The ground began to tremble, as if something huge was gradually approaching.
"Ah!"
In the forest, Ina's surprised voice rang out. This was a completely black mutated Wind Leopard. Its strength had already reached C rank, far surpassing the tamed Wind Leopard beside Mana. With Ina's D-rank strength, there was no way she could defend against it, and she was about to be pushed to the ground. However, the Wind Leopard's movements stopped abruptly. A hand was gripping the Wind Leopard's neck, and with a casual fling, the ferocious beast was thrown away like a kitten. God knew how many branches were broken, but in the end, it relied on its feline instincts to barely regain its balance in the air. It rolled a few times on the ground, got up again, and limped away into the depths of the forest.
"Are you alright?" Chen Rui's voice was heard. In fact, the guide, who was "familiar with the terrain," had actually gotten lost when she was leading her employer through the forest. Chen Rui had no choice but to scout ahead, and when he returned, he happened to save the mercenary who had been ambushed by the Wind Leopard.
"I'm sorry." Ina lowered her head guiltily. She felt that her strength was as weak as a newborn baby in this place. If it wasn't for "Richard," she wouldn't have been able to move an inch. She had originally wanted to help, but now she had become a burden.
"Now isn't the time to talk about this." Chen Rui knew that Ina was worried about Samuel, so he couldn't blame her. He extended his hand. "I've already found a way out. Let's go through the air."
Ina nodded and grabbed his arm with both hands. Chen Rui bounced off his feet, and his whole body rose into the air. At this moment, Chen Rui, who had fully released his mental strength, heard a faint sound in the wind. It seemed to be some kind of angry roar.
Chen Rui's eyes flashed, and he yelled at Ina, "Hold on tight!"
In the basin, Samuel panted heavily, and looked at the huge figure in front of him vigilantly. It was a "person", a man. However, this man was too tall. He was about ten meters tall, with a head of short golden hair, and a pair of eyes that flashed with a pale golden light. His skin was dark silver like metal, and he wore simple armor. His whole body emitted a terrifying aura.
When Samuel flew forward and attacked with all his strength, it only left a dent on the dark silver skin, and it quickly returned to its original state.
The most powerful creature on the Island of Storms, the Titan!
The Titan was a top-notch existence that could directly use its physical strength to fight against the Giant Dragons. It also possessed powerful elemental energy, could perform long-range attacks, and was immune to all negative psychic magic.
Samuel did not want to take the initiative to attack such a dangerous and powerful creature. He originally wanted to escape with Joanna, but Herbert and Lorenz led the Magicians to entangle the two of them. Finally, the huge figure of the Titan appeared in Joanna's horrified eyes.
The Titan did not distinguish between friend and foe. In their eyes, all other races were invaders that must be killed. As soon as the Titan appeared, a Magician was trampled into meat paste. Herbert and a few other Magicians were also turned into nothingness by the Titan's lightning. Lorenz was also injured by the aftershock, and both his legs were charred, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.
If it were not for Samuel carrying Joanna and dodging quickly, he would have followed in the footsteps of Herbert and the others.
This Titan's strength was at least two ranks higher than Samuel's. Coupled with the Titan's powerful talent and combat strength, there was no way he could fight it.
With Samuel's current physical strength, it would be difficult for him to escape alone, let alone carry Joanna. Therefore, the Silver-tier Knight chose to fight to the death. Unfortunately, he had used up too much of his strength, and his desperate attack could not even break through the Titan's skin.
"Haha! Do you understand now? " Lorenz, who was lying on the ground, was in so much pain that his face was contorted, and he was sweating profusely. However, he still laughed out loud, "I'll say it one last time. Let's die together!"
Samuel gritted his teeth and leaped high into the air. He swung his sword and slashed at the Titan again. However, the effect was worse this time. He had to roll a few times to avoid the Titan's stomp, and he quickly pulled away from the Titan.
The Silver-tier Knight was panting heavily. Suddenly, he sensed something and turned around to look at Joanna. Even though he was far away, he could still clearly see her gaze.
In those beautiful deep blue eyes, there was no longer the fear and anxiety from before. There was only a sense of tranquility that surpassed fear, a sense of having no regrets in life or death.
Samuel felt the blood in his chest burning again. His entire life force was burning. With a loud roar, his body exploded with a bright light, and a powerful aura surged towards the Titan.
At this moment, he had surpassed his own limits.
The Titan's pale golden eyes flashed, and a trace of disdain flashed across its eyes as it faced the surging power. It let out a low growl, and a violent aura surged forward to meet the attack head-on.
The two auras were locked in a stalemate in the air, and the ground shook violently. Long and narrow cracks appeared on the ground, and the soil and stones nearby were blown up by the air currents like a small hurricane.
Even though Samuel had used his Life Immolation to its fullest potential, the difference in strength between the two was still too great. The Silver-tier Knight could not hold on for much longer, and his feet were pushed back involuntarily, leaving two deep trenches in the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the Titan's speed increased, and his aura was suppressed to its lowest point. Finally, he could not hold on any longer, and his entire body was flung away by the huge force.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Samuel, who had lost his balance, was supported by a gentle force. He slowly descended to the ground, and two people appeared behind him — a man and a woman.
Lorenz looked at the familiar-looking man in surprise, and blurted out, "Richard?"
Wasn't this Richard the beastmaster that Miss Eliza had some admiration for? He had even used his special privileges to pass the Radiant Knight's test. Why was he here?
The appearance of the two people shocked Samuel at first, and he immediately walked up to Chen Rui, his eyes filled with excitement and shame. He lowered his head and knelt on one knee.
This action represented an absolute difference in status. Not only Joanna and Ina, who knew Samuel's arrogant character, but even Lorenz was shocked. A Saint-tier powerhouse was actually kneeling to a mediocre 'beastmaster' …
Chen Rui understood Samuel's feelings very well, and did not say anything. He only patted his shoulder, signaling for him to stand up. At this moment, the Titan, who felt that he was being ignored, was filled with murderous intent, and took large strides towards them.
The Titan had only taken two steps when his movements stopped abruptly. A figure had appeared in front of him — it was Chen Rui.
Chen Rui's height could only be considered small compared to the Titan's huge body, but the Titan's eyes were filled with extreme wariness, as if he was the one who needed to look up to this tiny figure.
The Titan's aura immediately surged, and electricity crackled in his palms.
Before the Titan could attack, Chen Rui suddenly growled. The Titan's movements froze, and his huge body was actually sent flying by an invisible force. Boom! He crashed into a mound in the distance, and the ground shook violently as a human-shaped pit appeared in the mound.
Apart from Samuel, everyone else was completely stunned by this scene. Just his aura alone had sent the Titan flying!
This was a Titan that could easily suppress Samuel's Saint-tier strength!
