She then threw the spear forward with all her straight, sending it beelining to the monster\'s head with the force of a torpedo.

The Cephrodite tried to dodge, but there was no way that it could achieve that feat in its slowed state, and with the amount of strength Eliza put in, considering she had buffed her strength, damage bonus and damage breach, the spear shattered its scales and embedded itself in its flesh.

"Unhealing!"

With her command, the life energy loaded into the spear seeped into the Cephrodite\'s body and undid the healing effects of the regeneration magic it just used, returning its limbs to their perforated state.

Evan on the other hand, generated golden chains of magic power and swung them towards the perforated limbs, wrapping around them tightly.

He then signalled Eliza and used his full strength to pull the Cephrodite\'s body around, dragging it through the water and slamming it on the massive multilayer barrier that Eliza created.

The instant it slammed on the barrier; Eliza created another multilayer barrier on its other side. She then jammed her palms together and made the two multi-layered barriers to crush the Cephrodite\'s body in between.

·ƈθm Bone crunching sounds rang out, along with geysers of black blood that spilt out of the Cephrodite\'s body, but even so, the creature still struggled to break free.

It used its blood as a conduit for its poison, generating a poisonous cloud that melted the multi-layered barriers with ease, much to Eliza\'s surprise.

"You gotta be kidding me. Those things have five layers each, powerful enough to block a Level 350 monster\'s attack!"

"Well, that just means that this Cephrodite\'s poison is that powerful.

Anyway, this area is done for, let\'s lead it away."

Evan spoke as he swam away from the area with Eliza trailing behind, much to the Cephrodite\'s displeasure as it wanted to use the poisonous cloud generated from its blood on them.

It roared and chased after the duo, generating two white magic circles on both sides of its head that spewed out purple bubbles into the water.

"Flux."

Evan activated a skill, sending a lone ball of swirling volatile energy towards the incoming bubbles.

The instant the ball of energy hit the bubbles…

**BOOOOMMMM!!!!!

A thunderous explosion rang out, with purple clouds of poison spreading across the lake, making Evan and Eliza certain that they could not afford to touch those bubbles directly.

"Isn\'t the whole lake gonna get poisoned at this rate?"

"Nahh. It\'s a lot bigger than you think. There\'s a naturally occurring spatial expansion phenomenon in this lake."

Evan replied as activated Flux a few more times, sending out more balls of energy to clear the bubbles and open up a path in front of him.

"Buffs please."

"Greater Poison Resistance.

Poison Damage Breach-Negative.

Elemental Damage Bonus, Elemental Damage Breach- Positive."

Evan boosted forward after receiving the layered buffs from Eliza, coating himself in a thin layer of energy and zipping through the lake as the Cephrodite pursued after him.

He spun around, detonating the bubbles it was releasing with volatile energy orbs, creating a gap that led straight to the monster\'s body and corkscrewing himself through it.

Upon landing on its back, he created another elemental projected weapon of ice, coating it with his golden aura and slashing the monster\'s back.

A black effect traced a single line down the monster\'s back, creating a deep gouge through its flesh from head to tail that spewed black blood everywhere.

Ignoring the monster\'s poisonous blood, Evan released multiple aura slashes and blade cannons to the monster\'s body, severing the two perforated limbs and making it roar in pain.

It released a burst of energy to knock Evan off its body, turning its head towards him and opening its mouth wide.

A magic circle appeared inside its mouth, glowing with a powerful light, far brighter than the bubble-generating circles, and having more rings of light surrounding it.

\'Tier 3 Magic!\'

Evan\'s Danger sense warned him that taking that attack was not gonna be a good idea, and Time Difference slowed his perception, allowing him to accurately calculate the attack\'s trajectory.

His eyes gleamed with light as he created a void step and spring boarded off it to the side, a mere second before a high-velocity water beam ripped through the space he\'d just vacated.

**BOOOMMM!!!!!

The beam exploded after colliding with some structure in the lake, sending out shockwaves that reached the monsters watching the battle from a distance and knocking them away.

As for Evan, Eliza\'s timely intervention with a barrier blocked him from getting knocked away, and after sending his internal thanks to her, he used Everlasting Chains in conjunction with the Hookshot skills, sending a long spike grappling chain towards the Cephrodite\'s body.

The instant the hook hit the monster\'s body, the Hookshot skill\'s effect came in, launching Evan straight to its body and paralyzing it temporarily, long enough for Evan to land and activate a unique skill onto its head.

"Vortex."

Feeling the mass of aura building up on it, the Cephrodite felt its impending death and attempted to at least take one of the duo with it to the afterlife.

It burned its life force to break out of the stun effect of Evan\'s skill, just enough to tilt its head in Eliza\'s direction and fire another high-velocity water beam at her.

Evan noticed the monster\'s actions, and with his enhanced thought acceleration via time difference, he was able to figure out its intentions in a second.

His eyes turned cold as he cancelled the vortex activation and summoned the unforged, channelling the energy gathered for vortex into the blade and coating it with destructive essence.

He then swung the sword down, releasing a powerful aura slash that cleaved through the monster\'s body, severing it in two from head to tail.

The destructive essence then detonated in a large explosion that blasted the Cephrodite\'s head to pieces of flesh.

**BOOOM!!!

Evan, the one who dished out this attack, was unaffected by it, only coldly gazing at what was left of the monster\'s body and putting his sword back into his inventory.

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered.

|Isolating the Energy absorbed from Level 325 Existence; Unnamed Poison Cephrodite|

|50% of Isolated Energy would be used as Experience for Increasing Host\'s Level at a later date. |

|Channelling 50% of the Energy into Unique Skill: Adaptive Evolution. |

"Evan, are you okay?!"

"Hmm? I\'m fine. Just got a little pissed that it was trying to target you at the last moment."

Evan dismissed the notifications and replied to Eliza who only stared at him in silence before sighing.

"I could have used a barrier to block, you know?"

"Come to think of it, you could have done that."

The shook her head silently upon hearing his reply, before turning her gaze to the water around them that was filled with poison.

"This is bad."

"Very. Can you do something about it, I\'d rather not have us leave it like this."

"That\'d need a skill charge."

"What about Breath of Life?"

"If it\'s an Esoteric Poison, I doubt Breath of Life would work."

Eliza replied as she retrieved her weapon that was floating away and channelled her energy into it, activating her second unique skill, imbuing the effects of poison negation support magic into the activation sequence.

A wave of magic power rushed out of her body, and a wide magic circle appeared, centred under her feet.

Two rings of green light surrounded the circle, with a third illusory ring flickering in and out, and a green misty haze with sparkles floated around in the water.

A few seconds later, this fantasy-like scene died down and the purple clouds of poison in the area had disappeared.

"Seems its poison was just unnecessarily strong and didn\'t have any special properties."

"True."

Evan replied as he picked up the large magic stone that floated in the air, and then tossed the rest of the monster\'s corpse into his inventory before its blood could poison the area again.

"All right. How about we move on to our next destination."

"Which is where, if I may ask?"

"The bottom of this lake."

With those words, Evan swam towards the bottom of the lake at an incredible speed, with Eliza trailing not too far behind.

For a moment, Evan glanced behind him, his grey pupils tinged with a bit of the essence of destruction\'s red.

\'I see…so there were more, huh?\'

Those abstruse thoughts floated through his mind as he swam deeper and deeper, through the clear water and schools of various type of fish.

As they went deeper, Eliza truly understood what Evan meant when he said the lake was a lot bigger than she thought.
