Goblin Dependency

Chapter 1158 - 573: Consecutive Kills

Xia Nan had hardly ever experienced such large-scale battles where the enemy had a relatively complete combat system.

But after all, no matter how many Sha Hua Fishmen there were, the total number of Fishmen on the field, including the minions, barely reached triple digits, far from the scale of battles involving thousands or tens of thousands of troops.

With his individual strength at present, as long as he could find an appropriate point of entry, he could still play a significant role.

To this end, combining experience with instinct, along with his understanding of his own abilities, Xia Nan had made the most correct choice.

The "caster priority principle," whether the target is teammates in his own ranks or enemies in the opposing forces, is by default usually error-free in most situations.

When the opposing side cast spells earlier, he had already used his newly enhanced perception ability to lock onto the positions of three Fishman Priests under the sea.

Xia Nan fully utilized his speed and explosive advantage, transforming into a Black Wolf Beast illusion, racing towards the locked targets beneath the open sea, which was somewhat similar to a cosmic environment.

It must be said that having a commander stationed to direct them made the Sha Hua Fishmen’s performance indeed different.

Previously encountered several times, they were basically elite guards fighting on their own, but now they formed small teams to intercept from all directions.

This way, the Fishman Priests could focus more on their spellcasting without having to be distracted by the overall battle situation.

The ocean was their home ground, and for any adventurer accustomed to land-based combat, even if their professional level was not low, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced upon entering the water environment.

This ebb and flow can significantly close the power gap between the two sides.

However, it was clear that these fishman mongrels could never have imagined.

For Xia Nan, who had taken up the supermodel profession, Fallen Blade Hunting, which shouldn’t be something he could access at his phase of the profession path.

The ocean, to some extent similar to the space environment...

Was also his home ground.

"Awoo..."

The deep, eerie wolf howl reverberated in the water below.

Like a bizarre black fish, stirring the water currents, amidst the explosive bubbling, a fleeting shadow of fear left a long tail trace in the sea.

Having obtained vertical space to operate, even though his speed was slightly hindered by the resistance of the seawater, his agility got a substantial boost.

Never engaging much with the Elite Fishman Guards intercepting him, Xia Nan focused all his attention on the nearby Fishman Priests.

With a slight adjustment in his angle of force, the shadow that was speeding straight towards the target zigzagged in a "Z" shape through the water like lightning.

The Fishmen on their home ground hadn’t even had time to react, helplessly watching as the black shadow, enveloped in black powerful qi, darted over from above.

Being the crucial spellcasters of the army, the Fishman Priests naturally had guards to protect them closely, and upon seeing Xia Nan bypass the blockade and charge directly towards them, they had long since placed the Priests behind them.

With a casual swing, he shattered the Magic Missile that drifted in from the side.

Unflinching and instead speeding up, Xia Nan protected himself with his left arm shield and charged straight towards the few Fishman Guards.

The powerful impact gifted by speed and physical strength created ripples in the water, pushing aside the Fishman Guards like bowling pins, leaving behind gashes on their bodies as if cut by blades due to the cutting wind from the attached [Teeth Hunting].

With the precious delay created by the guards in front, the Fishman Priest, whose mental will was partially affected by the wolf’s howl, finally managed to release the improved version of [Mage Armor] from the Sha Hua Fishmen at the last moment.

Accompanied by the flickering Magic Radiance in the seawater, a layer of a semitransparent protective shield tightly enveloped it.

"Buzz!"

The arc formed by the gray-black straight sword collided fiercely with the semitransparent protective shield, violently vibrating.

"Boom!"

Another sword fell, and numerous cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Magic Shield.

"Crack."

The attack was like a rainstorm.

With a diagonal slash from the third sword, a sound like an egg cracking suddenly echoed in the seawater.

The overloaded Magic Shield was completely shattered, without even needing to swing a fourth sword; the residual power enfolding the sharp blade was enough to slice off a small part of the spectacularly fragile head of this Sha Hua Fishman Priest.

The integrated physical attributes from earlier, allowing Xia Nan’s attack speed to far exceed anything the average person could imagine.

Though it seemed like he swung three swords in succession, the total only took a single breath of time.

Sweeping his gaze over the now lifeless priest that had turned into a cold corpse in front of him, Xia Nan felt a slight impulse within:

"Two remain."

Meanwhile, the Fishman Priests, dispersed and protected in the other positions, certainly would not just watch Xia Nan charge and attack.

But just as he sheathed his sword, two spells shot towards him.

Unyielding, it was clear these Fishman Priests had never encountered an opponent like Xia Nan before, possessing resistance or even counter-effects to spiritual control magic.

Earlier, the painful experience with the [Human Immobilization Spell] hadn’t taught that Fishman Priest a lesson, although it didn’t dare to use it again due to the severe pain caused by counter-damage, it still cast another control type spell this way.
