Chapter 768: Chapter 462: The Crux of the Matter_3
Having said that, he swiftly flew out of the nearby window and quickly arrived at the original cave entrance, now at the location of the Sky Pit.
After the downpour had ended, the newly formed rivers had been refilled by him and Claire, and the depth of the cave made the bottom of the Sky Pit relatively dry, with only some shallow puddles of water.
A giant black creature resembling a crab was currently leading more than ten similar but much smaller Cave Monsters in a clash with the guarding Wizards.
Without delay, Colin swooped down while gently waving his hand.
Whoosh!
A flash of Spiritual Light from the Temple Ring Binding swept by, and all the Second Rank Cave Creatures were instantly frozen in place.
However, the Temple Ring Binding was, after all, only a Second Rank witchcraft, and the leading Third Rank Cave Creature, although momentarily stiffened, was visibly regaining its ability to move at a visible pace.
The binding light of the ring seemed about to dissipate.
Boom!!
A pair of invisible Force Field palms appeared out of thin air and flattened the Third Rank crab-shaped monster into mincemeat like swatting a fly!
Crack crack crack, shattered carapaces mixed with minced flesh fell scattered on the ground.
Several Wizards nearby couldn’t dodge in time and were splattered with blood.
Colin’s face remained calm as he withdrew the Force Field hands and also felt the irritation in his heart slightly relieved.
"Are you all right?" he asked softly as he landed near the guarding Wizards.
"No problem, Honorable Councilman Colin!" the lead Wizard instinctively replied, then looked back and said, "Your support was very timely. Only one Wizard was slightly injured."
"Hmm, go deal with those Second Rank Cave Creatures. I’ll take another trip inside the cave."
"Into the cave?"
"I’ll check if there are any other strays left... Hmm, and also clean up the shallows of the cave to prevent this from happening again."
"Yes, sir," responded the guarding Wizard, looking up as Colin’s figure receded into the distance, and couldn’t help but think in awe, "Cleaning the shallows of the cave... Hasn’t Councilman Colin just recently advanced to a Third Rank Wizard? Why do I feel he’s even stronger than some of the Third Rank Peak Wizards I’ve seen!"
"Indeed, that crab-shaped Cave Monster must have had at least the strength of a Third Rank Intermediate, yet it could not withstand even a single blow from the Lord of Tilamei!" his companion agreed, "Such strength, unbelievable!"
...
Whoosh!
Colin threw a punch, and a piercing screech came from his knuckles as if space itself was crying out from the burden.
Boom!
His fist landed heavily on the grey-black, tough carapace in front of him. The crab-shaped Cave Monster, even larger than the one he had encountered outside earlier, didn’t even have the chance to scream before it burst apart, life extinguished.
’I didn’t expect a flock of crab-shaped creatures to have migrated here... The one in front of me, even larger, must be the Crab King.’
Colin retracted his fist, gently moving his neck, feeling relaxed all over.
Beyond his silhouette, in the winding cave passageways, lay a hell-like scene.
Numerous broken limbs and crimson flesh filled the entire interior of the passageway, like a ghastly, bloody graffiti.
Of course, this was the perspective of the crab-shaped Cave Monsters. In Colin’s view, he was merely cleaning up the shallow layers of the cave while venting some frustrations from his heart.
It must be said that this exercise had indeed been effective; the irritation that had been building up in his heart was gone, and his mind had regained its clarity.
"The path ahead is not entirely dark, and even if new knowledge cannot be researched, there still remains another path—Divine Blood.
If need be, go to the front lines and fight to obtain the Divine Blood, which can also enhance the body!"
