Monsters Die When Killed

Their enemy had no such ties and, naturally, no such scruples. Never mind the Duke’s Mansion—if he deemed it necessary, he would probably destroy the entire Shelter City!

"Just a good guy passing through! Remember that!"

Shouting back instinctively, Su Zhou took a deep breath. Nearly two hundred Gale Seeds swirled around him, forming a dense layer of Hurricane Armor that made him look like an ancient Armored Knight.

Meanwhile, a tremendous surge of Magic Power erupted from the core of the Duke’s Mansion. At the very center of the estate, a deep blue Water Magic flared to life like a miniature sun, casting a blue glow bright enough to illuminate half the city.

The next instant, a massive, three-fingered, deep-blue hand rose from the azure light and lunged toward Su Zhou!

The flames emanating from the Blade of Annihilation were actually extinguished, suppressed by the overwhelming Water Spiritual Power. At that moment, a Giant with a mouth full of sharp teeth, its body composed of Spiritual Power that resembled a great tide, burst through the walls and ceiling of the Duke’s Mansion and slowly began to rise.

The Giant stood over thirty meters tall, its body covered in a carapace resembling a crab or lobster’s shell, and its power was at the formidable Extraordinary High-tier. The moment it appeared, oppressively humid rain clouds began to gather over the half-collapsed roof of the Duke’s Mansion. The members of the Mysterious Organization stationed inside scattered in a panic, fleeing the crumbling building, having utterly lost the will to confront Su Zhou.

"A Tidal Giant!"

Seeing this, Elias, who was watching from the sidelines, let out a pained groan. "So that’s Delron Mage’s trump card... But you two really don’t hold back at all, do you!"

In truth, only Su Zhou was being reckless. Delron Mage clearly had no desire to destroy his own Magic Position. The old Mage, who had long hair the color of deep green seaweed, was situated in the very center of the Tidal Giant. The silver Sapphire ring on his hand flashed with a blinding magical light, and a thick crack had already appeared on its surface.

"Listen! If you leave now, we can go our separate ways in peace. If you’re after the Naisel family’s wealth, we can give you a generous share!"

He was issuing a final notice to Su Zhou, the Mage still clinging to a sliver of hope. "We have no interest in this city. Once we get what we want, someone with your power could easily take over as the new Duke!"

Though his words were conciliatory, it was merely a ploy to distract his enemy. A torrent of water five meters in diameter was already gushing from the palm of the Giant’s hand as it reached for Su Zhou. Like a high-pressure water jet, it became a raging, subsonic tide that blasted toward him.

The surging, high-speed wave would hit with more force than steel. Moreover, the higher its velocity, the more the pressure within it would plummet. This low pressure from the subsonic blast of water caused it to boil instantly at ambient temperature, generating massive, explosion-like steam shockwaves.

A tide that could be as hard as steel or boil explosively was the most terrifying weapon in the Giant’s hands. Even a colossal deep-sea lizard-whale could not escape it, but would only be hunted down.

But Su Zhou had already tuned him out completely after shouting his reply. Forget Soul Communication; it would be useless even if Delron shouted aloud. Thus, facing the enemy’s targeted tidal assault, the scorching flames enveloping Su Zhou instantly and seamlessly transformed into crackling, cyan-blue Thunder Light.

And right at that moment, from the other end of the city and from somewhere beyond the mortal realm, two other Elite Tier auras flared up simultaneously. These were undoubtedly the other two Elite Tier members of the mysterious faction that Elias had mentioned. They were rushing over at full speed to surround Su Zhou.

Even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent, Delron, wielding a Divine Object, could definitely hold him off. Then, even if this passing Wilderness Wanderer’s power was beyond their imagination, their combined assault would surely give them the advantage.

However, Su Zhou’s speed would turn their so-called pincer attack into a futile effort where they would be picked off one by one. Facing the rushing tidal torrent, the young man who controlled both Thunderbolt and Gale flashed a wide, savage grin. He gripped his Divine Blade, which now crackled with furious Thunderbolt, and his whole body seemed to transform into Thunder Light. He charged headfirst into the torrent, protected by his Circulation Mist Armor, and surged toward the core of the Tidal Giant.

BOOM! The air warped under the immense force. The Gale Armor, operating at full power, generated a violent shockwave that swept outward. Under Su Zhou’s counter-charge, the massive wave powerful enough to pulverize reefs was instantly shattered into a sky-full of raindrops. Amidst the countless drops, cyan-blue arcs of electricity crisscrossed and flashed.

’How can an Elite Tier be this strong?!’

Delron Mage’s pupils constricted into a bizarre, wavy shape. He had been in the middle of casting his next Magic, never expecting anyone could block the Tidal Giant’s ferocious assault head-on. But there was no time to think. Riding the Gale to close the distance, striking with Flame and Thunderbolt, Su Zhou had reached the Tidal Giant’s core. He swung his blade and lopped off its head, then immediately followed with a kick that sent the old Mage’s head flying like a soccer player’s power shot, driving it straight into the ground.

"Huh."

The phantom of the Tidal Giant, formed from condensed Water Spiritual Power, had already dispersed into a cloud of mist. Though powerful, its weakness was obvious—it would dissipate the moment its controller lost focus. But Su Zhou let out a soft "huh," clearly sensing something was wrong. ’A kick like that could shatter a steel ball, but his head was just sent flying. It felt like I kicked a mass of non-Newtonian fluid.’
