Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Spatial Skill and Enemy Attack



In a hurry, petals swirled around Su Li, forming a vortex.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed as a massive tremor shook the ground.

Kate's frail figure was thrown into the air, blood spurting from her mouth.

Her condition worsened, her expression bleak, and her injuries more severe.

"Black Turtle, do you really intend to push the fox clan to the brink of extinction?" Kate wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, glaring coldly at Black Turtle.

Against him, she was utterly powerless. Bound by her symbiotic relationship with the Peach Blossom Tree Monster, she couldn't leave a certain area and was left with no choice but to endure the attacks.

"Hmph, you brought this upon yourselves." Black Turtle had no time for further discussion. Water elements gathered around him, the temperature plummeted, and the water transformed into an icy spear, emanating a chilling, deadly light as it hurled toward Kate.

Crack, crack...

As the spear flew through the air, it seemed to freeze the surrounding atmosphere, the cold seeping into everything.

John, hiding at a distance, watched in alarm.

Altering the environment in this way was a sign of a high-level magic skill, far beyond what a lower-tier opponent could manage.

He doubted the seven-tailed fox demon would survive.

Kate could also sense the terrifying power of the spear. Her expression turned to one of despair, but within her eyes flashed a hint of determination.

"If it's come to this, then let's all perish together!" She spat out another mouthful of blood, her figure wavering as a powerful surge of energy gathered around her.

This energy drawn from the surrounding peach trees.

Kate was absorbing the energy of the entire fox clan's domain, transforming it into countless pink petals that swirled around her.

Thousands of petals, all radiating a deadly aura, encased her body.

"This is bad, she's using an ultimate spell, 'Withering Bloom'!" Black Turtle's face darkened. He quickly warned John, "Kid, get under the Tree of Life now!"

An ultimate spell is second only to a forbidden curse, a power usually reserved for those above the tenth tier.

Though Kate was only at the seventh tier, she was forcibly channeling the energy of the entire fox clan's domain to cast the spell-even the Peach Blossom Tree Monster was being affected.

Her intention was to destroy the entire fox clan's domain!

Luckily, John heeded Black Turtle's warning and quickly took cover under the Tree of Life, avoiding the impending disaster.

"Withering Bloom!" Kate shouted, her life force rapidly depleting. Countless petals transformed into deadly blades, whistling through the air.

But instead of targeting Black Turtle or the ice spear aimed at her, they shot straight up into the sky.

"Has she lost her mind?" John was baffled, unable to comprehend why Kate would ignore Black Turtle and the ice spear, choosing instead to attack the sky.

Thud!

The ice spear pierced through Kate, its immense power dragging her body several dozen meters, leaving a deep trench in the ground before freezing it solid.

Hum!

Suddenly, the space around them trembled, and the countless petals tore through the sky, opening a spatial rift.

John's eyes widened in realization-Kate wasn't trying to destroy the fox clan's domain; she was attempting to annihilate the entire beast clan's Secret Area.

"Kate, you deserve to die a thousand times!" Black Turtle roared in fury as he witnessed the unfolding scene.

The spatial rift she created could potentially expose the beast clan's Secret Area, leading to catastrophic consequences.

He directly entered the fox clan's territory, his strength suppressed to the peak of the fourth tier. However, there were no longer any fox demons that could threaten him here.

He intended to personally finish off Kate.

A weak, mocking laugh echoed through the area. Kate's face was gaunt, her body withered. The wound from the ice spear had been frozen, preventing her from dying immediately. She looked at Black Turtle with a scornful gaze and weakly said, "Black Turtle, let me tell you one last secret: the Savior has already appeared, and he's from my fox clan!"

"That's impossible. Your fox clan is entirely female; how could a Savior appear?" Black Turtle's brow furrowed as he raised his hand, only to halt mid-air. He sensed that she wasn't lying.

Kate's expression grew smug as she summoned the last of her strength to continue, "There are exceptions to everything. Our fox clan indeed has a male, and I can tell you with certainty that he is the prophesied Savior. But he's already been captured by the demon race. Black Turtle, you are supposed to be the Savior's guardian, yet you've destroyed my fox clan. Do you think the Savior will spare you? Haha..."

She laughed maniacally, blood continuously gushing from her mouth.

So what if her final plan failed? The beast clan's Secret Area would be her burial ground.

Moreover, the fox clan would not go extinct. Black Turtle had sworn to do everything in his power to protect the Savior.

Whether the Savior would kill him to avenge the fox clan was no longer her concern.

"Senior, let me help you!" John rushed over at that moment, a dagger appearing in his hand as he aimed for the heavily wounded Kate.

Slash!

A flash of cold light swept across Kate's neck.

-76

A pitifully small damage number flashed above her.

Even though Kate was a severely injured seventh-tier epic beast, John was still not strong enough to take her down.

Fortunately, her health had already bottomed out, and the attack was enough to finish her off.

[You have slain the seventh-tier epic fox demon, Kate, gaining 1,085,280 experience points.] [Level up: Spirit +4, Strength +3, Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +16, Skill Points +2.] [Level up: Spirit +4, Strength +3, Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +16, Skill Points +2.]

[Plunder Talent activated: Spirit +100, Skill Points +20, Luck +1. You have gained the skill Spatial Slash.]

[Spatial Slash: Level 2 (enhanced by Blessing of the Archmage +1 level), basic magic skill, deals 120% of Spirit as Spatial Magic damage to the target. Costs 200 Mana. Cooldown: 5

seconds.]

A spatial skill!

John was both surprised and thrilled.

After killing Kate, John's level shot up by two, reaching level 71, and he unexpectedly gained a

spatial skill.

Spatial skills are rare and typically only those with spatial talents can learn them.

With his S-rank talent, Spatial Awareness, John was naturally able to master it.

He was surprised to learn that Kate also had a spatial talent.

That explained how she was able to forcefully break through the Secret Area.

John opened his attribute panel and immediately maxed out the level of Spatial Slash. He had accumulated over 4,000 skill points by now, so the cost was negligible to him. [You have received the Blessing of the Archmage: The basic magic skill Spatial Slash has been upgraded by one level, breaking through the limit and advancing to the intermediate magic

skill, Spatial Rift Slash.]

[Spatial Rift Slash: Level 1, intermediate magic skill, deals 220% of Spirit as Spatial Magic damage to the target. Costs 1,000 Mana. Cooldown: 10 seconds.]

With this rare intermediate Spatial Magic skill under his belt, John's power increased once

again.

In addition to these gains, Kate had dropped two pieces of equipment, both of which were of

legendary quality.

A staff and a robe. The attributes were excellent, but they required a seventh-tier level to

equip.

John casually stored them away.

Hissing!

At that moment, the eerie sound of hissing filled the air, coming from the peach blossom tree

monster.

It was on its last legs, its life force draining rapidly as the pink blossoms withered and the

leaves fell.

"Kid, did you manage to pick the pink peach blossom?" Black Turtle snapped out of his thoughts and quickly asked John, his gaze fixed on him.

"Got it," John said, pulling out a pink peach blossom and waving it triumphantly. "Only one? What a shame," Black Turtle lamented, looking at the wilting blossoms with

regret.

"Old man, I've noticed you're not exactly the most serious person," John said, rolling his eyes. He already knew that the pink peach blossom was only useful for making Love Flower Powder and had no other significant value.

Black Turtle glared at John and retorted, "You don't get it, do you? Sometimes, you need to use unconventional methods to deal with enemies, achieving results they never expected." He then turned his attention to the peach blossom tree monster, which was gradually being devoured, and remarked, "This time, you've hit the jackpot. Even though the thousand-year peach tree monster is a rare beast, it possesses the power to nurture life. The Tree of Life will absorb and devour it, and it shouldn't be long before it can produce new elves." "Really?" John asked, delighted at the prospect of nurturing new elves, which would significantly strengthen his forces.

He stepped closer to inspect the Tree of Life, noticing that it appeared even more lush than

before, with signs that it might soon bloom.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed through the air, followed by deafening battle cries.

Above them, through the spatial rift, hordes of powerful werewolves and demon soldiers

from the demon race began pouring in.

"This is bad!" Black Turtle's face paled as he realized he had almost forgotten about this

imminent threat.

"The beast clan's Secret Area cannot be compromised! We must stop them!" he bellowed,

leading the beasts of the Death Land to charge into the Fox Tribe's domain to intercept the invading werewolves and demon soldiers.

The Tree of Life had already devoured the peach blossom tree monster, and with the Fox

Tribe's domain no longer existing, the werewolf and demon race armies surged forward in

full force.

John quickly absorbed the Tree of Life back into the Death Land and turned to the elves,

saying, "Anna, you all stay out of this."

The strength of the werewolves and invading demon soldiers far surpassed that of the elves,

and John didn't want Anna and her people to sacrifice themselves needlessly. "Understood!" Anna responded, obediently retreating into the Death Land. John then sealed the portal to the Death Land.

"Master, I'm here!" A massive shadow swept overhead-Avis, the black dragon.

John leapt gracefully onto Avis's back, patting him as he instructed, "Let's go help." Avis soared upward, circling to find a safe position. However, instead of immediately attacking, he asked, "Master, are we really going to help, or just put on a show?"

John was taken aback, not understanding why Avis would ask such a question. "Did you hear something I didn't?" he asked.

Avis nodded his enormous head, replying, "You guessed right, Master. There's indeed a

treasure among the Yao Tribe. That Flower Fairy is linked to the prophesied savior and seems to be a sacrificial pawn."

As he spoke, Avis glanced down at the beast army below, as if searching for the Flower Fairy.

"Sacrificial pawn?" John frowned, recalling the way Black Turtle and the other beasts treated Jean. They certainly didn't seem to regard her as a mere sacrifice. However, it was clear that Jean and the prophesied savior were connected in some way.

John wasn't particularly interested in this matter, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Avis continued, "There's more. The reward the Yao Tribe promised you seems to be a legendary staff, and the Dragon Transformation Pool that they're offering to help me evolve is a rare treasure, second only to the Three Great Springs."

John was astonished. The Three Great Springs-Elven Spring, Vein of the Earth, and the

demon race's Dark Sea-were all legendary treasures.

He already possessed the Vein of the Earth.

But he hadn't expected the beast clan to have something so close in value to these treasures.
