Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 718: The Legend of the Rosicrucian

The sailors on the deck were hypnotized by the Sea Bride's singing and fell into a deep sleep from which they would not wake up even if they were seriously injured or killed.

Only Professor Laxmi, who was still trying his best to resist sleepiness, witnessed all of this.

He saw Miss Aleister standing on the deck, and in front of her was the mysterious butler.

Whenever the "butler" glanced at Professor Laxmi, he would feel a faint threat of death... There was no doubt that the other party had the ability to take his life easily.

However, the butler had his hands behind his back at this moment, looking as if he had no intention of taking action.

Because Miss Aleister waved her hand and summoned an extremely terrifying phantom demon——

There were terrifying flames rising from its body, and behind it was a pair of strange and enchanting butterfly wings. On the wings were patterns that looked like eyes, and the lasers emitted by those patterns could instantly dismember a sea monster that was once at the fifth energy level!

Professor Laxmi was still trying his best to resist the peaceful sleepiness in his heart, so he couldn't see its specific appearance. He just felt that it was so scary that it looked like a demon king...

After Aleister's summoned beast severely injured the sea monster, the magic power deep in Laxmi's brain that seemed to drag him into the abyss also dissipated. As the power of dusk filled his body, his brain gradually became clear.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the brilliant scorching flames that seemed to tear the night sky apart!

The heat of the flames made Professor Laxmi, who was at least seven or eight meters away, feel the burning heat that made him dizzy and difficult to breathe. The air seemed to be roasted to a boil, and just by inhaling the hot air, he could feel waves of pain deep in his lungs.

If Professor Laxmi, who had already woken up, had not reacted immediately and used the preservation technique to protect his internal organs at the first moment... I'm afraid that his lungs would have been burned by the heat and he would have been unable to breathe normally.

The sea monster, which was continuously hit by the flame stream, kept emitting painful cries.

It was a mournful cry that was completely different from the previously imitated and simulated bird-man language song - it was more like the sound of a whale or an elephant.

Its body and the surrounding seawater were vaporized by the flames, and white steam continued to rise. The originally purple tentacles had now been transformed into a delicious red... It was obviously cooked.

——There is no doubt that this stream of flames caused great and even fatal damage to the "Bride of the Sea".

When the sea monster was seriously injured, it became completely crazy!
The power of dusk in its body continued to overflow, turning the surrounding sea surface into a texture like quicksand.

The dying sea monster continued to stir the whirlpool, and countless waves rose high from all directions as if they had life.

Those were waves hundreds of meters high—countless sea water tangled together like a spider web, freezing into deep blue ice and fixing the ship in the center.

In the blink of an eye, a hemispherical water cage that covered the sky and the sun was constructed.

——In an instant, the sea froze.

The waves mixed with the power of dusk condensed into a point at the highest point. The wave crest rose high and turned into a deep blue crystal at the top - the waves dripping like stalactites were like a huge spear of divine punishment, or a sword of Damocles made of crystal.

And when it completely solidified and appeared, the crystal emitted a strange glow.

It was like a rainbow of colors, or like the colorful world you see when you are in a hallucination. Its colorful colors were totally inconsistent with the laws of optics - the night sky was so dark, and there was no light projected onto the dark sea... but the colors could be written directly on the retina, and would not disappear immediately even if you closed your eyes, but would instead spread like vines in your brain.

With a terrifying momentum that seemed to completely smash the bow of the ship, a demonic ice spike that was even larger than the ship was roaring and falling towards the ship that was locked in the water prison.

At that moment, Professor Laxmi felt the fear of approaching death.

The ship, which looked as small as a child compared to the huge waves, had no chance of resisting the blow.

Professor Laxmi clearly sensed... that was the power of the Dusk Path that was purer and deeper than his own!
The fifth level of Dusk Path spell! The sea monster uses all the corrupted souls it has stored to launch a powerful attack!
This is neither necromancy nor preservation... but another power of the twilight path that only sea monsters possess, a power of extreme cold that neither humans nor elves can master.

The great power from Yuan Tiansi - but at this moment.

Professor Laxmi, who had fully awakened due to the fear of death, saw the aloof and cold phantom in a black dress suddenly raise his right hand.

The golden-red flame that was originally suspended in front of her suddenly became thicker and turned into a blazing white beam of light, which slowly cut upwards as she moved.

The flames cut the sea, leaving a hot and thick white mist; the flames cut through the ice spider web, thawing the ship that was locked in the cage and gradually solidified; the flames cut the sea monster in half vertically, and then still went straight up - aiming at the iridescent ice spike that was about to fall.

The white steam rolled above the sea and even spread to the deck of the ship.

When they flowed to Professor Laxmi, he could feel the residual heat from them on his skin!
The next moment, the flame stream and the ice sword collided heavily!
They might have made some sound... but the scream of the sea monster being completely cut apart resounded throughout the ocean, and even woke up the sleeping sailors.

When they opened their eyes, they saw a pillar of fire that seemed to penetrate and connect the sky and earth - and at the top of the pillar of fire, a huge ice sword that kept breaking and disintegrating.

The scene was fantastic yet dangerous, beautiful yet deadly.

Countless pieces of melted ice were dissolved by the purifying fire, and corrupted souls were liberated and purified - what came out of the ice sword was not white smoke, but a rainbow-colored light curtain that covered the sky like the aurora.

Even the passengers hiding in the cabin could see this scene through the broken deck.

The water curtain formed by the upstream waterfall also dissipated and turned to fall downward along the original path.

Those small pieces of broken ice fell along the original water flow like a meteor shower, away from the direction of the ship, and most of them melted when they sank into the sea.

From a distance, it looked as if the heavy rain in the distance was stained with rainbow light, and the rainbow colors had lost their dizzy magic charm. The water curtain that was originally used to imprison the ship turned out to be an umbrella to shelter from the rain. Through the lens formed by the water waves, the distorted and colored rainbow light formed a surreal picture that can only be seen in dreams.

Even so, after the water curtains fell into the sea, they still caused huge waves and caused the ship to shake violently.

However, the passengers this time were no longer as frightened as before.

Instead, I feel a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

Professor Laxmi's face, as cold as a dead person, now showed fear and relief.

He looked in awe at the powerful phantom demon that had unleashed its strongest attack, shattered into a flame butterfly, and landed on Miss Aleister's ear.

——Without a doubt, it must be a summoned beast that has reached the fifth energy level... or even close to the limit of the fifth energy level!
Only a strong man of this level could be able to break the sea monster's fatal attack so easily!
At this moment, Professor Laxmi suddenly saw a ray of extremely pure purple light.

That was the light of the path that emanated from Miss Aleister's pupils... and Laxmi was very familiar with it.

——That is the light of transcendence emitted when the transcendents resonate with the transcendent path!
...Miss Aleister is a transcendent?
He was suddenly shocked.

Then he suddenly realized that the phantom demon's posture did not look like a phantom demon that had been tamed or transformed by the Path of Love. Although witches could tame some familiars, they would definitely emit the light of resonance of the Path of Love when using their abilities.

...This purple light is more like a contract with the devil.

And "Miss Aleister"... or rather, Lady Bayard, as a fifth-level Moon Child, now has a fifth-level Phantom Servant that can defeat a fifth-level sea monster...

Professor Laxmi suddenly thought of a legend.

That is a legend that has been passed down among the Rosicrucians.
