Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

A loud thud, like a heartbeat, suddenly echoed.

The giant sphere of Fear Energy atop the Array suddenly began to pulse erratically.

Then it began to contract, reversing its rotation.

The Energy that had been transported through the umbilical cord-like channels behind the brawny man began to reverse flow.

These channels, which had once transported Energy, were now frantically drawing the original Fear Energy from the brawny man, as if siphoning water.

”What’s going on? Who is it?!”

The massive figure whirled around, looking toward the Array.

Instantly, he used the black mist to see through the camouflage of pink mist.

He spotted a few small figures trying to sneak away.

”It’s you! You little rats!”

”Oh no, we’ve been discovered,” Two said, scratching his head with a smile.

”Run!”

The Giant Axe swung towards its first targets—surprisingly, Lucilia and the others, who were sneaking behind.

Before the axe could fall, a crystalline beam of light shot down from above, flashing brilliantly.

Grabbing a puppet in each hand and foot, it soared into the sky, drawing an arc through the air. The figure flew quickly past the monster’s ear.

Crystal, modeled after the Crystal Dragon, even found the mood to spit at the monster’s head.

Rainbow-colored Energy struck the helmet formed of fear. Though it caused little impact, the gesture was intensely insulting.

”BLEH!”

The massive attack was difficult to retract and hacked mercilessly at the Array.

Not only did it fail to hit any enemies, but it also shattered the previously stable Array. The entire Array began to shake violently.

The Energy on him began to be extracted in reverse, even faster than before.

This, coupled with the enemies escaping right before his eyes and mocking him, caused the Energy aura around him to rage wildly.

As the Fear Energy was frantically extracted, his strength, which had just reached the Fifth Stage, immediately plummeted.

Seizing this opportunity, a large amount of pink mist surged out, pressing down on him.

The black mist was violently battered.

The giant, blood-colored monster with the Mirror Surface trembled as it once again climbed up from the ground.

Its body was already pockmarked from being devoured by the black mist, but under Alka’s control, it had to launch another charge at the enemy.

Its massive body, carrying immense weight, slammed into the enemy.

”Bloom, flowers!”

A flower sprouted from beneath the brawny man, each petal lined with sharp teeth. The central pistil shot out numerous thorns, entangling the enemy and gnawing aggressively.

Coupled with the blood-colored monster pressing on, heedless of its own safety, the brawny man was instantly immobilized.

”What did you think I was stalling you for?” Alka appeared above the enemy’s head and said with a smile.

The antlers on his head radiated a dazzling light.

Sharp, pink, crystal-like objects rained down.

They smashed continuously against the Energy Armor atop the brawny man’s head, an armor formed from concentrated Fear Energy.

”Damn it! Damn it all! You gatekeeping mongrel! Why do you always, always stop me?!”

”Why?!”

The shattered Armor of Fear was relentlessly attacked, and with Energy being siphoned away by the sphere behind him, his voice became intermittent.

With his Energy being drained, he seemed incapable of using any means to resist.

But the fury in his roars was undeniably real.

Looks like this insane deity isn’t having such a great time, Alka thought. What a coincidence meeting him like this.

As the Energy shell on the brawny man was stripped away, he weakened inexplicably.

His strength regressed rapidly, and his once robust body became inexplicably frail.

Seizing the opportunity, a streak of light flashed. Chadite appeared above the brawny man’s head, slamming his right leg downward like an axe.

His entire leg radiated a brilliant golden light.

It smashed down heavily.

This was a fatal blow.

”BANG!”

A translucent barrier with blood-red striations blocked the attack.

This barrier seemed different from Fear Energy.

The brawny man lifted his head, flashing a bloody grin at Chadite above.

He swung the axe in his hand upward forcefully.

At some point, the Giant Axe, once composed of black mist and metal shards, had transformed. It now resembled a gruesome construct of blood vessels and pulsating muscle fragments, a flesh-and-blood axe.

Blood dripped incessantly from it, and the muscles seemed to twitch faintly, as if alive.

”That damned fool is finally out of my way.”

The brawny man, still four to five meters tall, reached out, grabbed the massive blood slave pinning him down, and bit into it furiously.

With a violent slurp, the giant blood slave was sucked into his body like noodles.

”Ahhh, that feels so good.”

Without further ado, he raised his axe and swung it down towards the group.

The axe wasn’t aimed at any specific target, merely cleaving towards their general direction.

No one dared to meet the attack head-on; they all retreated rapidly.

As the axe blade slammed into the ground, shattered flooring and soil flew everywhere. Veins of flesh and blood immediately began to spread wildly from the impact point, rushing towards Alka and the others.

Somehow, the monster’s strength had returned to the Fifth Stage.
