Chapter 598: Sea Crystal Wyrm: The Death of Victor (2)

Flapping its wings, it once again dove down, facing the incoming frost, its power boiling within.
Around its body, dozens of diamond-shaped crystal facets appeared, constantly rotating, blocking most of the bursting frost. Like meteors, they crashed into the sea, creating a massive impact that sent the Blue Dragon Blood Murloc directly into the water, causing a towering column of water.
Seizing the opportunity, the Blue Dragon Blood Murloc fixed itself onto its opponent, relentlessly attacking with its claws, even willing to perish together with the enemy.
These two troops engaged in a brutal battle, and for a moment, it seemed impossible to determine the victor.
However, Ji Chen knew that the most probable victor would be the Sea Crystal Wyrm, as its greatest trump card—its bloodline ability—had not yet been used. This was the key difference between sixth-tier troops and fifth-tier troops.
Sure enough, in the brief entanglement, the Sea Crystal Wyrms one by one activated their bloodline powers.
In Ji Chen’s eyes, their strength increased significantly. They used their claws to knock the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs off their bodies. With diamond-shaped crystal wings flapping behind them, they rocketed through the sea’s surface and into the sky like missiles.
They lined up in the sky, opened their mouths, and a sphere of intense blue light was gathering, emitting violent energy fluctuations. Anyone could see that they were about to unleash a more powerful spell attack.
Ji Chen had thoroughly understood the strength of sixth-tier troops by now and couldn’t afford to stand by idly.
He raised his hand.
Countless water arrows pierced through the sea surface into the sky, interrupting the Sea Crystal Wyrms as they were casting their spells. The energy spheres in their mouths exploded, leaving their mouths in a mess.
However, after the water arrows shattered, the water droplets did not obediently fall due to gravity. Instead, they condensed again into water ropes, pulling the Sea Crystal Wyrms down towards the sea.
Seizing this opportunity, Benbo leaped out of the water like a cannonball, swinging the trident in his hand fiercely towards one of the Sea Crystal Wyrms.
Ding—
The sharp sound of metal colliding with a hard object. One of the Sea Crystal Wyrms had its body shattered by the trident, and immediately, Benbo did not stop. He stepped on the remaining half of its body and leaped towards another nearby one, piercing its head with the trident.
Benbo, who had evolved his bloodline not long ago, had already abandoned the usual clumsiness and vulnerability of the Murlocs. At this moment, he possessed strength comparable to that of an Orc. Chop, smash, swing, lift; not a single Sea Crystal Wyrm could withstand the force of his trident.
It wasn’t until he had killed several of them that he descended back to the ground.
The battle at the portal of the illusion spell seemed to gradually subside. Herald led a large army to support, joining forces with Benbo and the Dragon Blood Legion to massacre the Sea Crystal Wyrms.
The Sea Crystal Wyrms, deprived of their power to return to the sky, had their combat effectiveness significantly reduced.
Despite the sharpness of their minions, facing the Ocean Crown forces, who feared nothing and were willing to bite even if they were cut in half, the numbers of the Sea Crystal Wyrms were slowly decreasing.
In addition to the support of many Ocean Crown heroes, the balance of victory was slowly tilting.
One hour later.
“Ding- You have killed a large group of Sea Crystal Wyrms (Tier 6, 3 stars), gaining 300,000 experience points.”
“All of Lord of the Waves’ armies under your command have been completely eliminated, earning you an additional 100,000 experience points.”
The battle ended.
Bodies floated all around, and the sea was stained crimson, with blood spreading for miles. There were now only a few troops left standing.
Lord of the Waves, Victor, watched this scene in despair, his heart as cold as ashes.
He had exhausted all of his trump cards and had no means of resistance left.
At this moment, he deeply regretted why he had provoked this human. If none of this had happened, he would still be the mighty Lord of the Waves.
Ji Chen approached Victor, using a casually indifferent tone.
“Do you have any moves left? If not, then your time is up.”
Victor glared angrily, “Human, you’ve won this time. You can kill or torture me as you wish!”
“You’ve just been lucky. If we were to start over, I wouldn’t give you any chances.”
Victor thought bitterly. He blamed his failure on his own complacency and carelessness.
If he hadn’t rushed into the attack but instead completed the construction of his palace and magic artillery towers first, his strength would have increased tenfold, and he might have had a chance to defeat this human.
He’s quite resilient!
Ji Chen looked at Victor’s defiant and unwilling expression and could tell what kind of person he was.
At this point, he had no desire to continue talking to him.
He gently waved his hand, and the Kraken understood, tightening its tentacles around Victor’s body, completely binding him.
Crack, crack—
As the tentacles continued to squeeze, the sound of bones breaking and shattering echoed loudly. Victor’s eyeballs bulged, and his body gradually went limp.
“Ding- Your hero, the Northern Sea Giant Kraken: Kraken, has killed the enemy leader, Lord of the Waves: Victor…”
The Kraken released its tentacles, allowing Victor’s body to slip into the sea and slowly sink into the depths.
Ji Chen looked back at the chaotic sea surface, feeling a certain way.
This battle had given him a very clear understanding of Tier 6 units.
Three squads of Sea Crystal Wyrms, totaling a thousand, had inflicted casualties on more than thirteen thousand of his Ocean Crown forces, with over half of them being Tier 5 units. This was even with the Sea Crystal Wyrms losing their flying advantage and not fully utilizing their bloodline abilities due to his interference.
If they had been allowed to unleash their firepower to the fullest, the casualties could have been much higher.
“My lord, look…”
At this moment, Alice approached him, pointing in the distance. Ji Chen followed her slender, fair finger.
The marine creatures summoned from various parts of the ocean to support them were swimming towards him in groups, filling the sea in front of him. Their eyes shimmered with a strange light, as if they were trying to convey something.
Ji Chen nodded at them, and then, as if he had remembered something, he raised his right hand, and a surge of oceanic power appeared in the palm of his hand.
Then he gently lifted his hand, and wisps of deep blue energy floated up from it like smoke. With a casual wave, the energy drifted towards them and was absorbed by them.
After absorbing this energy, these marine creatures showed a comfortable and joyful expression, chirping happily, and then they turned and left.
Alice looked puzzled, “My lord, why…”
Ji Chen smiled, “They helped us, but it’s not without cost. We have to give something in return.”
Alice nodded thoughtfully, watching as these marine creatures gradually disappeared from sight.
As the surviving Ocean Crown forces were cleaning up the battlefield, a giant turtle approached, with a hint of anticipation in its eyes. It spoke in a deep, booming voice.
“Human, it’s time to fulfill the agreement.”
“Of course,” Ji Chen didn’t waste any time, skillfully drawing up the master-servant contract and quickly signing it with the giant turtle.
The moment the contract was completed, Ji Chen felt the immense and profound vitality of the giant turtle, like a mountain and an endless sea. He also sensed the curse hidden deep within its flesh and soul.
This curse was like a locust clinging to the heart of the giant turtle, constantly draining its life force, making it weak and experiencing pain that ordinary beings could hardly bear.
The more it regained its life energy, the more the curse grew stronger as it absorbed it.
“Who placed this curse on you?”
The giant turtle spoke slowly, “It was a deity.”
Ji Chen asked in surprise, “But aren’t deities no longer active in the world? How could they place a curse on you?”
After a moment of silence, the giant turtle said, “To be more accurate, it was the Ocean God’s Shrine that cursed me. It’s a divine artifact left behind by the Ocean God, and under the Ocean God’s instructions, it curses any sentient beings who covet it with greed and desire.”
Ji Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
A divine artifact?
