Chapter 219
Numerous types of trials existed in the Deep Realm. Adventurers would challenge the trials suitable for their level, and Murmu was no exception. Having risen to fourth place in the Deep Realm rankings after Vassago’s death, Murmu was challenging a trial at the Sea of Death.
What lay before him was an endless expanse of ocean, its water filled with poison. Any ordinary adventurer would dissolve instantly upon contact.
The muscles in Murmu’s right arm bulged as a purple aura started to swirl, turning his fist a deep violet.
This was Armorize, a skill that adventurers needed to master to survive the Core. Murmu had learned the seventh level of Armorize after defeating the Rainbow Bird at the eightieth checkpoint in the Tutorial Zone.
With Armorize enveloping his fist, Murmu delivered a powerful strike, slamming it down onto a floating Laikie. The creature flailed in pain before diving back into the ocean.
Laikie was a huge mythical creature resembling a whale. It was the offspring of Laikar, which lived on the first floor of the Core. Although it was just a juvenile version of the powerful Laikar, Laikie’s strength was formidable, making it almost impossible for anyone except Deep Realm Rankers to face it.
After all, it too was a mythical creature.
Murmu sprinted through the air as if stepping on invisible footholds, chasing after Laikie. Spotting a massive shadow beneath the surface, he didn’t hesitate. Arching his body like a bow, he used the momentum to dive into the water toward the shadow.
He unleashed a flurry of punches on Laikie, knowing that prolonging the fight meant death by the poisonous water. He wasn’t keen on taking that chance.
Each punch left deep dents in Laikie’s massive body.
Roaring in pain, the beast thrashed violently and attempted to counter with a tail swipe. Murmu narrowly dodged before launching his ultimate attack: Qi Blast, a skill honed through countless physical modifications.
Laikie’s weakened body couldn’t withstand the Qi Blast and shattered into pieces. Its lifeless remains floated to the surface before dissolving into the poisonous water as the thin magical membrane protecting it dissipated.
