Chapter 313 Wilson Sallow & Govrin
At a certain location in the energy reservoir. A young man in black slowly walked on the surface of the water, his expression as calm as a deep pool. After a long time, his footsteps suddenly paused as he looked down at the bottomless depths below him.
At a certain deep depth, he could just barely make out the silhouette of an enormous slowly swimming shadow.
"Have you finally appeared…" The young man in black was naturally the number 3 amongst the top 10 rankers, Wilson Sallow. A flush of excitement surfaced in his black stone-like eyes as he gazed at the enormous black shadow in the depths of the reservoir.
The black shadow was obviously the 1000 feet duct beast he yearned for even in his dreams.
Wilson slowly squatted, closing his eyes as he reached into the ice-cold waters. Powerful spiritual energy surged out of his body without any reservation at this moment.
Spiritual energy tinged with black light stealthily slipped into the water.
The black light spiritual energy rapidly began to gather above the head of the enormous shadow, transforming into a black glowing spear. Extremely sharp spear-like energy began to converge on the sword.
~SWIISH~
The spear descended, fast as lightning as it thrust into the 1000 feet duct beast's body.
~ROOAAAR~
A miserable cry exploded in the water, causing giant 1000 feet high waves to rise. Though it had suddenly been attacked, the duct beast did not retaliate, but instead hurriedly fled with a swish of its tail, shooting away like a bolt of thunder at a speed no one could hope to match.
The most troublesome part of hunting duct beasts in the energy reservoir was finding them and chasing them down.
Duct beasts were adept at hiding in the reservoir, making them extremely difficult to discover, and it was also nearly impossible to catch up to them if they chose to run.
Wilson's black stone-like eyes were akin to the edge of a blade, easily piercing through the waters and locking onto the giant escaping figure. He did not panic at all and merely sent out a thought.
~BZZZ~
A black glowing spear began to form again in the direction the 1000 feet aquatic beast was swimming in, pulsing with peerless spiritual energy.
The duct beast hurriedly changed directions the moment it felt the spear-like Qi.
This repeated itself several times as the mindless duct beast unknowingly began fleeing in the direction Wilson Sallow was directing it in.
Wilson walked across the waves, his steps slow and unhurried, but his figure was akin to a phantom, appearing a hundred feet away in a few seconds.
This chase lasted for only a brief period. A sharp look suddenly appeared in Wilson Sallow's eyes as he shouted, "Govrin, close the net!"
In the water some distance to the front, Govri hovered on his spiritual energy. His gaze fell upon the enormous black shadow that was rapidly approaching, and suddenly flung open his spacious sleeves with a shout, "Boundary, rise!"
~SHU SHU SHU~
The instant his shout was heard, the water within a ten thousand feet radius suddenly began to boil. Countless spiritual energy rays of light shot out from the water, swiftly connecting to each other as if forming a giant net of light.
Countless imprints seemed to flow along the net, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy
~DHHAAAM~
The enormous 1000 feet duct beast arrived, its giant body powerfully slamming into the net, causing it to stretch at an alarming angle. However, the glowing net was extremely tough, ultimately neutralising the force as it sent the 1000 feet duct beast catapulting backwards.
The net slowly began to close, like a boundary that had completely trapped the duct beast, cutting off all means of escape.
"Success!" Govrin landed on the surface of the reservoir with a faint smile. "This big guy can't escape anymore."
Wilson gently rubbed his hands together and praised, "As expected of the former disciple of Alchemic Rune Peak, such mastery of imprints is truly unmatched. Leave the killing of the duct beast to me."
A slight smile was revealed on Wilson's face as he peered into the deep reservoir waters where the 1000 feet duct beast was struggling desperately. In his eyes, there was no hope for a trapped duct beast. Its crystal was his.
~WHOOSH~
However, just as Wilson was about to enter the waters to slay the 1000 feet duct beast, the mist in the vicinity suddenly swirled as a wave of frosty spiritual energy suddenly swept over. Its temperature was so low that even the surface of the sea was frozen over.
The wave of frost headed straight for Wilson Sallow. The sudden attack made him frown as he fiercely swung his sleeve.
~BOOM~
Spear-like spiritual energy poured out of his sleeve, directly shredding apart the water in front of him. The wave of frosty spiritual energy was also torn to pieces.
Wilson gazed at the mist and slowly said, "Ella, you already know that you can't succeed, why must you still put up this useless struggle?"
The mist gradually dissipated as a slender figure walked over to the water. The graceful figure naturally belonged to Ella Abella.
She chillingly stared at Wilson Sallow and flatly said, "It is not so easy to make me give up."
Govrin also helplessly shook his head and said, "Why must you do this senior sister Ella? You have no chance at all."
"I disagree!" Iciness flitted across Ella's eyes as boundless spiritual energy soared out from the top of her head. The temperature began to plummet as frost that could be seen with the naked eyes spread from under her feet.
Wilson merely chuckled softly and said, "Govrin, I'll have to trouble you to deal with her."
Govrin sighed helplessly as his arms extended from his wide sleeves and slowly met in front of him. In the next instant, a low shout rang out, "5th Circle Spell, Water Law!"
~BBBLLLLRRR~
The surface of the reservoir in the vicinity abruptly exploded as giant water pillars dashed into the sky. The pillars linked to each other, creating a prison of water with Ella at its centre.
Ella frowned as she took a step forward. Powerful spiritual energy transformed into countless ice arrows that violently shot forward.
