Chapter 309 - 304: Who is the Madman
The swimming speed of a seal couldn’t match the Storm Predecessor. To avoid being caught, Leon decisively transformed into a sailfish, with an average swimming speed of over 100 kilometers per hour and a top speed nearing 200, striving to distance himself from the Storm Predecessor.
Leon didn’t know how long he had been swimming or where he had ended up. He only ensured that even if the Silver Dragon turned back to look for him, it definitely wouldn’t be able to find him. He then slowly came to a stop.
"Druid, why did you stop running?" The Storm Predecessor caught up to Leon, swinging its trident and smashing the seaweed-covered reef to pieces.
Leon glanced at the Storm Predecessor, wiggled his tail, and burrowed into the seaweed. In an instant, the sailfish disappeared, and a Storm Predecessor stood up, leaving the pursuing Storm Predecessor dumbfounded.
"Who told you I was a Druid?" The transformed Storm Predecessor, Leon, appeared fully equipped with weapons and armor, though those weapons and armor were mere illusions—impressive in appearance, but functionally useless.
"Do you think an illusion can fool me?" The Storm Predecessor was furious, gripping its trident tightly and hurling it forward.
Leon, now possessing some combat skills, easily used the trident to block the incoming projectile. He retaliated by using his tentacles to casually pick up a rock and toss it back, proving he was no illusion.
"Shape Shifting, is it?" The Storm Predecessor, well-versed in such matters, wasn’t easily deceived. After all, he was a corrupted Storm Giant, and Storm Giants were often reclusive prophets adept at deep thought. They could foresee the rise and fall of empires, discern the beginning and end of fortune or disaster, interpret omens and prophecies, and held many hidden secrets and knowledge of legendary, forgotten treasures.
"You’re strong, but you’ve messed with the wrong person." The Storm Predecessor gestured, and the trident flew back automatically into his hand.
