Chapter 89: Chapter 38: Gale, Unlucky Shark Lizard Beast_2

Fifteen strands of Praying Power, not too shabby for its reputation.

But when he saw that the reward included a Shark Tooth Sword, his expression turned somewhat strange, “Shark Tooth Sword? I still have the Deep Rainbow Sword!”

…

In the distance, Freyja was riding the Floral Blue Leopard, sprinting through the forest and suddenly leaping out of the dense woods. Then Freyja was seen tensing her bow, and tiny sparks of fire gathered at the end of the arrow feathers, as if continually charging.

The next second, a blaze shot out like a fierce gale, striking towards the Shark Lizard Beast.

The Shark Lizard Beast, having just tumbled to the ground, couldn’t possibly dodge. It was instantly hit by the arrow, and in that instant, a scorching wind arose on the scene.

The wind, in that moment, seemed to take on form, painted with a fiery red, turning into a crimson tornado that engulfed the Shark Lizard Beast, and the sky above was tinged with a touch of red from the soaring flames.

Char glanced at the Shark Lizard Beast, then at Freyja and the Floral Blue Leopard, who had returned to the forest after the fall, a look of amazement on his face.

‘This power, is it really something a Level 5 Ranger could possess?’ Char was shocked.

If he had known that he possessed such formidable combat strength when he first saved Freyja, he would have probably hesitated a bit more because this combat strength had already surpassed the Clover Mantis.

At that moment, the Thunder Light Grid from the Thunder Night Dragon descended from the sky.

The Shark Lizard Beast, already faced with consecutive attacks, didn’t even have a chance to dodge before it was caught squarely in the net, with blue-purple sparks flashing, and the wild thunder once more pierced through the body of the Shark Lizard Beast.

However, the Shark Lizard Beast, true to its reputation for tough skin, thick flesh, and high vitality, didn’t die despite the heavy blows.

Far from dying, it even had the strength to struggle and attempt to escape.

With a fierce slam on the ground, numerous spikes suddenly rose where the Floral Blue Leopard was positioned.

The Floral Blue Leopard leapt high into the air, narrowly avoiding the spikes, but the spikes quickly detached from the ground and shot out directly, stabbing towards the sky.

A fierce wind howled, and Freyja released an arrow, hitting one of the spikes.

In the violent explosion, some spikes were destroyed, and the remaining ones were blown away, losing their initial lethality, while Freyja and the Floral Blue Leopard, utilizing the recoil, landed to the side.

The wind, carrying sparks, blew against Freyja’s hair; gratitude flickered through her mind as she landed.

Luckily, she had witnessed the Shark Lizard Beast’s attacks before, or else she would have been at a disadvantage this time.

Beyond Freyja, the Shark Lizard Beast had also conjured another batch of spikes, more numerous this time, shooting up towards the Thunder Night Dragon after rising into the sky.

But if the Floral Blue Leopard and Freyja could evade it, how could the Thunder Night Dragon not dodge?

A streak flashed across the sky, and the Thunder Night Dragon easily dodged the Shark Lizard Beast’s attack. It then swiftly slashed downward with its claws, releasing two blue-purple arcs of electricity, hitting the Shark Lizard Beast in an instant.

The Shark Lizard Beast made no further futile resistance and started to flee with all its might. But every time it attempted to burrow and escape, the Thunder Night Dragon, just like before, would strike two arcs of electricity from the sky to stop it.

It wasn’t just the Thunder Night Dragon; Freyja did too.

The Shark Lizard Beast recognized Freyja as the female Elf that had escaped from it not so long ago, which filled it with even more rage, causing it to release angry and grotesque roars.

Furthermore, in another direction, there was a strange green insect blocking the path. Though the Shark Lizard Beast instinctively felt this green insect did not pose much of a threat, even less so than the ugly and detestable female Elf, it did not dare take risks while fleeing for its life.

After a brief chase, the Shark Lizard Beast still hadn’t managed to burrow underground, making it look even more angry and anxious.

Even with its low intelligence, it knew it could not withstand another Thunder Cannon attack like before.

As the Shark Lizard Beast grew more restless, even contemplating taking a desperate risk,

suddenly, it was as if it had stepped on something. Suddenly, a large amount of flame burst from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the Shark Lizard Beast was surrounded by a sea of fire.

In the distance, Char, who was watching the battle from atop the Frost Crystal White Deer, once again showed a look of surprise on his face.

The trap was set by Freyja, Char knew that.

In fact, he had not initially intended to let Freyja get close to joining the battle, because it was somewhat dangerous.

When there was no need to risk their lives, there was absolutely no need for her to engage in person, just like him, who could just watch the battle from afar, at most utilizing a Ranger’s professional trait to set up some traps.

But Freyja claimed that if it was just the Thunder Annihilation Cannon, the Shark Lizard Beast could probably find an opportunity to burrow away and escape, so to ensure the killing of the Shark Lizard Beast, she had to join the fight.

Moreover, this was her vengeance, how could she rely entirely on Char to take action?

Having said this, Char had no reason to stop her anymore.

But what he hadn’t expected was that whether it was the arrow feathers Freyja shot or the traps she set up, they were all so intense and explosive.

Shouldn’t Elves, who are supposed to love nature and be keen on protecting trees, have attacks with a different style? How could a Wood Elf Ranger’s attacks look like this?

In this brief period, how many trees had Freyja killed?

In Char’s astonishment, the battle also came to an end.

All that could be seen was the Thunder Night Dragon’s wide-open mouth, where blue-purple electric arcs sparkled and converged into a terrifying ball of blue-purple lightning energy, and the next second, the Thunder Annihilation Cannon had already hit the Shark Lizard Beast.

With Char’s visual capabilities, he simply could not catch this process, not even a hint of blue-purple afterimage.

This was the overwhelming power of a higher-level existence over a lower-level one. Most of the time, you can’t even see the opponent’s attack, so how could you possibly defend or dodge?

You wouldn’t even know how you died!

This was also why he did not approach the battlefield. Although the Shark Lizard Beast’s attack probably wasn’t as fast as the Thunder Night Dragon’s, it was still much higher level than him, and its attack speed was definitely very fast as well.

Why take the risk when he had an absolute advantage?

…

In the forest, no more trees were being knocked down, the Shark Lizard Beast had completely stopped.

A huge wound appeared on the back of the Shark Lizard Beast’s neck, piercing through to the front, and the Thunder Night Dragon’s second Thunder Annihilation Cannon had directly gone through the Shark Lizard Beast’s neck!

Strangely enough, no fresh blood spurted out from the wound because the flesh near the wound was burnt to a crisp by the intense electric arc at that moment.

The Shark Lizard Beast’s body collapsed with a crash, and the layer of steel rock on its skin began to crack and fall off. Without the maintenance of magic, these layers of steel rock quickly lost their metallic color and turned into ordinary rocks.

Almost simultaneously, the orange-red color within the Shark Lizard Beast’s skin also started to fade rapidly, and within the blink of an eye, it had disappeared completely.

Seeing that the task was completed, Char rode the Frost Crystal White Deer and quickly arrived, and so did Freyja.

From another direction, the Clover Mantis was also flying in fast.

Its main task was to block the path, thereby driving the Shark Lizard Beast towards the direction of the trap. If the Shark Lizard Beast preferred another blocker in its path over fleeing towards where the Clover Mantis was, then Char had instructed it to retreat immediately, not needing to obstruct.

He didn’t want the Clover Mantis to risk its life for the sake of a mere Shark Lizard Beast.

However, the first to arrive was still the Thunder Night Dragon; it came swooping down, stepping directly on the Shark Lizard Beast’s head, waiting proudly for Char and the others to arrive.

Freyja, the Clover Mantis, and Char arrived one after the other.

“Well done, Thunder Night Dragon! And thank you, Clover Mantis!”

He then turned to Freyja.

“Freyja, is there anything valuable on the Shark Lizard Beast?”

“Yes, its teeth and claws are quite valuable, but the most valuable is the blood in its heart, which can be used as the main ingredient for an Intermediate Magic Potion or as a supplementary ingredient for High-level Potions.”
