Chapter 535: New Evolutions
’Shit! Too fast!’Four massive Sea Lion Kings, claws bared and fangs glistening, hurtled toward Marcus through the air. Everything happened in an instant. The Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Hoe wasn’t even equipped yet, leaving him with no chance to counter. He could only watch as the real king and its three clones closed in.
Swish. Swish. Swish.
Four enormous paws crashed down on him. ’I’m dead,’ he thought, instinctively bracing himself for the Ring of Resurrection to activate. The boss only had 23,600 HP left; they had come this close to finishing it. What a complete waste.
But then... a miracle. From where they stood, the girls watched the Sea Lion King’s claws slam into Marcus as though they had struck nothing but empty air. Not a single point of damage appeared. Instead, four words floated above his head: Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss.
For a moment, everyone simply stared. The Sea Lion King’s ultimate skill, Feral Pack Pounce, had missed every single attack. Marcus himself could hardly believe it. His investment in Agility and Dodge had finally paid off at the exact moment he needed it most. Sometimes, numbers really did speak for themselves.
Without wasting another second, he hurriedly equipped the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Hoe, ready to finish the fight with Desperate Strike.
Then Blackie let out a sharp, furious neigh. Pitch-black light erupted from his body, rushing toward the Prismatic Horn on his forehead, and the charging process, which had been building up for several seconds, completed in an instant. Dark Thunder Flash. Blackie lowered his head and shot forward like a black comet, his horn wrapped in violent dark energy. He was angry.
Being knocked to the ground earlier had thoroughly offended his pride. Blackie almost never attacked, but whenever he did, he always committed fully. Ever since getting back on his feet, he had been silently charging this skill, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Now it was time to repay that humiliation.
Only then did Marcus understand why the Sea Lion King’s ultimate had completely missed. Blackie’s sudden charge must have disrupted the king’s attack timing just enough to let Marcus’s Dodge shine through. Agility alone probably wouldn’t have been enough to evade the ultimate of a level seventy Golden Boss.
The charge was unbelievably fast, enhanced by the skill’s own burst of speed. Before Marcus or Pebble could even unleash Desperate Strike...
CRASH!
Wrapped in surging black lightning, the Prismatic Horn slammed directly into the Sea Lion King’s chest. This time, there was no mistake; Blackie had struck the real king.
The girls watched in stunned silence as the horn pierced clean through the monster’s massive body. Dark energy erupted from the wound, blasting out the king’s back in a straight beam that carved across more than a hundred meters of ocean behind it. Anything caught in that line would have been erased.
