Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 96 The Murloc Priest's Counterattack

Chapter 95

"These two musicians are not simple..."

Rosen was excited by the war song, but his heart calmed down.

A musician with a normal Sequence 8 could not achieve this level of skill.

The problem lies with those musical instruments and alchemical dolls, which should all be extraordinary artifacts specially customized to exceed specifications.

As expected, this should be something prepared by the Blue Whale Kingdom.

It seems that the Blue Whale Kingdom values ​​this Spirit Realm, which is only at Sequence 8, even more than he imagined.

This spiritual realm must still hold hidden, undisclosed value.

However, Rosen couldn't worry about that for the time being, as the extraordinary fishmen had already rushed out of the sea and stormed up the mountain of corpses.

Normally, the extraordinary fishmen should work together to stir up the seawater and drag the mountain of corpses into the sea.

However, the epic war song of the two musicians successfully transformed the mountain of corpses into an impregnable city. The war song even calmed the surrounding sea, making the nearby waters still. Finally, the war song also possessed a very powerful and extraordinary ability to mock.

When any murloc hears the war song, anger and murderous intent overwhelm their reason.

Otherwise, even if the human superhumans were to win a great victory in an underwater battle, there would still be some casualties.

Instead of annihilating all the extraordinary fishmen as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, as is the case now.

Rosen stood atop the mountain, his God-Slaying Crossbow continuously firing bolts. His bolts were made of psychic energy; he could condense psychic energy into a single bolt, and naturally, he could also condense psychic energy into a large bolt composed of many smaller bolts.

Therefore, with each arrow fired, the crossbow bolt would split in mid-air, creating a shower of blossoms.

Each bolt fired by Rosen was enhanced with the LV3 Death Strike damage from the Source Belt.

Then there's the Source Essence Hunter Boots' Storm Pursuit, which further enhances the crossbow's combo attack's armor-breaking effect.

Finally, these small crossbow bolts are added, simultaneously stacking the four attributes of darkness, nightmare, and water and fire.

Dark-attribute Nen has a strong armor-piercing effect. Nightmare-attribute Nen inflicts significant mental damage, and when combined with water or fire, it can produce a powerful explosion and burning effect, capable of killing a Sequence 9 Extraordinary Fishman with a single arrow.

Rosen turned into a ruthless killing machine, and orbs of light gradually appeared in his scavenging space.

The chance of a Sequence 8 killing a Sequence 9 being a loot orb is extremely low.

The fact that hunting abilities can be activated one after another shows how many extraordinary fishmen have died under Rosen's crossbow.

After the last superhuman fishman was shot by a nearby hunter, Rosen estimated that he had shot at least five hundred superhuman fishmen.

At this moment, the assassins began to descend to collect the corpses and loot. All the loot was gathered at the top of the mountain, and after a rough estimate of its value, it was divided equally among everyone. Every human superhuman had made their own contribution to achieving the current results.

After the spoils were distributed, a dozen ghost assassins jumped into the sea at the same time.

Ghost assassins can ignore the weakening effect of the marine environment on humans. Lure the monsters in the morning, but the essential role of these ghost assassins is to dive into the sea and assassinate the remaining murloc priests of the murloc tribe.

Within half an hour, more than a dozen ghost assassins returned one after another.

Almost everyone was injured, and two of them were seriously injured and almost died.

Fortunately, there were more than a dozen doctors on site, which saved the lives of the two ghost assassins.

A dozen or so noble captains stepped forward to inquire about the results, and their expressions darkened upon learning of the ghost assassins' achievements.

Of the total of one hundred murloc priests, less than half were successfully assassinated this time.

It wasn't that these ghostly assassins weren't trying their best, but rather the seeds of trouble left from the last time. Since thoroughly understanding the Fishman's Lament Realm, and with adequate preparation, human transcendents have rarely suffered casualties.

The last time, three people were killed; the hunters from the Fox Spirit Society died in that incident.

Rosen didn't find out the reason, but he knew the result.

When the Spirit Realm opened last time, a Murloc Priest survived until it closed, and this Murloc Priest's strength even increased significantly. This means that this Murloc Priest will not respawn after the Spirit Realm resets.

The murloc priest, who retained his memories and strength from the previous encounter, now knew all the methods that human superhumans used against murlocs.

Normally, there would be no need for musicians to step forward.

Two musicians came this time, mainly targeting the surviving merman priest.

The result was unexpected. The murloc priest knew the outcome, but still sent ordinary murlocs to their deaths.

The ghost assassins in charge of this assassination are all carrying extraordinary artifacts designed to target the fish-men.

The assassination attempt failed, which could very well make the merman priest even more difficult to deal with after the next reset of the Spirit Realm.

For the dozen or so nobles leading the group, this was a major mistake that outweighed any merit.

Next, they will face the Frost Naga, who are stronger than usual.

Then we must deal with the Frost Naga even faster to give the Murloc Priest enough time to hunt him down.

This means that everyone must give it their all.

The spoils will no longer be divided equally; instead, whoever hunted the kill will keep it on the spot.

It even suggests that everyone should make the most of their available resources while ensuring their own safety.

All the trump cards and consumables used in this battle will be reimbursed at double the cost after they are used.

Having paid such a high price, Rosen felt that he would be lucky if he didn't lose money this time.

This price is clearly not something that a dozen or so Sequence 8 nobles can bear; they have the Blue Whale Kingdom's official backing.

However, these were not things that Rosen needed to consider. His main purpose this time was to verify whether the combination of his Sequence 8 pet skills was as expected. Making some money was just a side thing.

Half an hour later, the sky had completely darkened, leaving only the moonlight on the sea.

Rosen clearly felt the seawater begin to cool rapidly, and Nightmare Slime also sensed the emergence of the same source of power in the sea.

Clearly, the 100 sleeping Frost Nagas have been awakened by the surviving Murloc Priest.

Inside Rosen's pocket, a gray rat, transformed into its mouse form, poked its head out and gazed thoughtfully at the sea.

Rosen couldn't see anything unusual behind him, but he already understood what was going on.

However, he hesitated whether to tell Rosen about his discovery.

He has only recovered to Sequence 8, and his overall combat strength is not as good as Rosen's.

Although Rosen, a human of the noble, painter, and hunter three-sequence, was the most powerful human of sequence 8 he had ever seen, it was still extremely dangerous for him to snatch the hidden treasure from the tiger's mouth and obtain it.

Gray Rat ultimately decided not to speak; his life was tied to Rosen's, and he didn't want to take the risk.

However, Rosen had already noticed something was wrong with the gray rat. The Nightmare Chains could enhance the scope of his and his pet's shared abilities, and the Nightmare Chains, with the power of nightmares at their core, also allowed him to sense his pet's mental state.

Therefore, he immediately realized that the gray rat was hiding something from him with ill intent.
