Chapter 303: Monster

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Splash!

Heath instantly fell into the icy water.

The icy water under the lake was unusually cold. The moment Heath fell, an intense cold current and bone-chilling chill engulfed Heath’s entire body, freezing his entire body, as if his spiritual power had been frozen. He almost lost control of his body.

He hurriedly activated the magic power in his body to stimulate the fire runes, allowing the power of the flames to quickly surge out and spread out like his limbs and bones. Only then did he manage to block the chill that was attacking him.

‘What’s going on!’

The moment he regained control of his body, Heath immediately widened his eyes and looked around vigilantly. At the same time, he grabbed the Red Demon greatsword in his right hand.

When he saw this, Heath was slightly shocked. The moment he lost control of his body, he had already fallen into the lake. He could not even see the surface of the lake anymore.

He quickly took out the Mermaid Sea Gills and placed them on his face to keep his breathing smooth.

‘What the h*ll was that just now!’

The enemy that attacked him was too fast. He did not see it clearly just now. The moment he regained control of his body, he also felt that the thing had left him quickly, it had completely disappeared.

After regaining his breath, he began to search for the monster at the bottom of the lake. However, his underwater vision was not very good. He could not find anyone.

‘Forget it. I should return to the surface first…’

After thinking for a while, Heath decided to return to the surface first. However, just as he was about to swim upstream, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill behind him. It was as if he was being targeted by something.

He quickly looked back, but there was nothing there except for the pitch-black lake water.

Staring at the darkness, Heath narrowed his eyes.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned his head and continued to swim upstream.

One meter…

Two meters…

Three meters…

Just as he had relaxed his guard and put all his strength into returning to the land, suddenly, two cold lights burst out from the pitch-black lake water. Then, a black shadow shot straight towards Heath like a sharp arrow.

Clang! The sound of metal interweaving exploded in the cold lake water.

The instant the black shadow and Heath passed by, Heath seemed to have predicted it. He pulled out Red Demon to his side and accurately blocked the black shadow’s attack.

The attack missed, and the black shadow quickly darted towards the darkness in front. However, at the same time, an extremely powerful invisible force had already enveloped the black shadow.

‘Wizard’s Forcefield!’

Under the effect of this powerful forcefield, the speed of the fast darting black shadow suddenly decreased, and its terrifying true appearance was finally revealed in front of Heath.

It was an extremely ugly monster.

It looked like a combination of a monkey and a toad. It had four agile limbs like a monkey, but it had a large toad-like head and mouth. Moreover, the outer side of its dark green skin was covered with small bumps. The small bumps were very dense, as if it was a congenital malformation and suffered from serious pollution.

After identifying it for a long time, Heath was surprised to find that his profound knowledge was completely unable to recognize the origin of this thing.

‘Really? A new species?’

It would be understandable if he didn’t recognize the species when he first came to the Golden Islands, but you should know that not long ago, he had extracted all the books and atlases from the Deep Sea Kiss’ collection. Not only at the Apprentice level, he had also collected all the books and knowledge from Deep Sea Kiss over the years.

These were the painstaking efforts of Deep Sea Kiss over the years, including all the species in the Golden Islands. There shouldn’t be anything that he didn’t know.

“Ah!!!!”

While Heath was surprised, the monster suddenly opened its big mouth and let out a scream.

This sound was exceptionally ear-piercing. The entire surface of the water formed circles of ripples as it shot towards Heath at an extremely fast speed.

Boom! A loud sound rang out.

The sea ripples exploded on the silver Mimicry Shield.

In the sea, the Mimicry Shield slowly retreated, revealing Heath behind it.

Heath looked at the sea monster in front of him, his eyes filled with puzzlement. The attack that the sea monster had just unleashed gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but that creature was clearly not the same as the monster in front of him…

‘Forget it, let’s deal with it first!’

After making up his mind, Heath raised Red Demon and controlled the Wizard’s Hand to grab at the sea monster.

After all, Wizards were creatures from land. In the deep sea, there was no point of force, so it was very inconvenient to move. Only by using magic could they move quickly.

With the help of the Wizard’s Hand, Heath grabbed the sea monster, and his whole body shot out like a sharp arrow towards the sea monster.

Splash!

The ice-cold lake water separated from both sides, and a straight line appeared in the dark lake water.

Seeing Heath’s fast approach, the monster subconsciously turned around and wanted to swim into a deep pool.

However, Heath’s Wizard’s Hand was firmly locked on its body. No matter how far the monster escaped, Heath would be dragged by it. Moreover, after the monster stopped, he could still rely on inertia to quickly close in. It was like a carriage that was tied by a rope being dragged by a horse.

Although the speed of the sea monster was very fast, it obviously could not last long. After dragging Heath for a while, its speed gradually slowed down.

Heath, who was behind it, had been waiting for this opportunity. He immediately used the inertia to quickly close in on the sea monster.

Within a hundred meters, Heath raised Red Demon high and thrust his sword forward.

‘Sword Wind!’

A cold wind-breaking sound was heard, and dense wind blades rolled up around Heath like bamboo shoots after a rain, then pounced on the sea monster in front.

The previous chase had long exhausted the sea monster, and it was at a loss when faced with the Sword Wind that was sweeping over.

Although it still opened its mouth to launch the previous sound wave attack, its little sound wave was not able to withstand a single blow from the rule-type spell, and was instantly torn into pieces.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The sea monster’s body was like a rag in the wind as it continuously trembled in the water. A large amount of fresh blood flowed out from the cut wound and dyed the icy water dark red.

“Uh… Uh…”

The monster opened its large mouth and let out an unpleasant ‘uh’ sound. After a few cries, it stopped breathing and lowered its head.

Heath spread out his spiritual tentacles and carefully scanned it. After confirming that the monster was indeed dead, he raised his hand. The Wizard’s Hand spread out and pulled the monster into his hand.

He still did not understand what this strange thing was.

He lowered his head and scanned the monster. After taking a look, he could not help but be stunned.

“This… This is….”
