”Whoosh!”
The arcane golem’s head was cut off, and the mutant prawn was sent flying with a punch.
“Diancang Fist!”
Jon had already positioned himself at the landing point of the elite mutant prawn, and it came flying over, he threw a punch at its head!
“Ding! Mission completed. Level 15 Elite Mutant Prawn killed. Level fragment +1,000 obtained. Successfully extracted water type advanced fragment +200 from the target’s body.”
The crisp sound of the system notification rang in his ears. Jon had successfully killed an elite mutant prawn. Moreover, the reward for killing it was very rich, leaving him very satisfied.
After killing this uninvited guest, Jon was prepared to continue moving in the direction of the seaweed monster that had been staring at him. However, he suddenly saw another group of unwanted visitors appear in the far-away seawater.
“Splash!”
A succession of sounds that caused a stir in the seawater approached from afar. The water was torn apart, causing the sea creatures in its path to scatter and flee for their lives.
When they had come nearby, Jon finally saw what they looked like.
It was not one, but an entire group of swordfish-riding creatures. They were humanoid animals with blue skin and held pitchforks in their hands. Thick blue bristles grew on their backs.
“There’s an elemental creature here!”
One of the blue creatures saw Jon and let out an excited voice. It rode on the back of the swordfish and shouted loudly.
Jon’s expression changed rapidly. There were too many of them, and each of them was above level 10. They were definitely not something he could deal with at the moment.
“Elemental Leap Wave Slash!”
Jon hurriedly used Elemental Leap Wave Slash to escape in the direction away from them.
“Don’t let him escape! Bring him back to the leader. Quick, catch him! Catch him!”
The other blue creature saw Jon escaping and immediately roared in excitement.
Of the three blue creatures, the one riding the largest swordfish stepped out of rank and chased after Jon at a much faster speed than its companions.
As they all got closer, Jon finally saw their labels on the virtual screen:
Swordfish Clan Knight, Elite Level 14.
Swordfish Clan Knight, Elite Level 13.
Swordfish Clan Senior Knight, Miniboss Level 17!
Description: A race born to live in harmony with swordfish. They have a symbiotic relationship with swordfish and possess extremely high mobility and combat strength.
“Ding! Mission unlocked. Kill Swordfish Clan Knights.”
“There’s actually a miniboss-level enemy!” Jon was shocked. After having been in this world for so many days, he had finally met an opponent above the elite tier. Moreover, this enemy’s level was much higher than Jon’s, so its combat strength was probably not any lower than Jon’s!
Looking at the distance between them getting shorter and shorter, Jon’s heart sank. There was nowhere to hide, so he could only fight.
“Elemental Throw! Triple Sword Desire!”
Since he had already decided to fight, Jon took the initiative to attack first and directly used his strongest long-range attack skill.
“Captain, save me!”
Gazing at the terrifyingly powerful blazing white ball that suddenly appeared, the swordfish elite knights felt the threat of death. They turned pale with fright and cried out to the senior knight for help.
“Don’t panic, leave it to me!”
The senior knight raised the pitchfork in his hand and flung it towards the Elemental Throw.
The Elemental Throw and the pitchfork collided and disappeared without a sound!
It was as if the pitchfork had eaten the Elemental Throw!
“F*ck!” Jon was flabbergasted and promptly sped up his escape.
“Scoundrel! Cease running!”
The level-17 senior knight’s speed increased by another level. He broke away from the other two elite knights and chased after Jon.
“Elemental Leap Wave Slash!”
Knowing that he could not escape, Jon turned around and attacked the senior knight.
He turned into a wave and mightily charged towards the swordfish senior knight.
The swordfish senior knight on the opposite side, perhaps having seen the power of this move, quickly tucked his fish head and changed direction. Drawing an extremely large arc, he dodged Jon’s wave attack.
Since the wave had not come into contact with the enemy, there was naturally no chance for him to have struck his sword passing by.
The senior knight made a large circle before returning. He raised the pitchfork in his hand and came stabbing towards Jon.
“Water-Rock Elemental Sword! Triple Sword Desire!”
Jon used his strongest combination skill to block the swordfish senior knight’s pitchfork.
“Clang!”
Jon was sent flying back by the powerful force of the swordfish senior knight. The water-rock elemental sword in his hand was shattered by its attack just now, and his right hand was covered in blood.
He looked at the swordfish senior knight again, but its expression did not change. Only a single crack in the pitchfork it was holding had appeared.
“Elemental Leap Wave Strike!”
Jon quickly healed his injured hand and continued attacking the swordfish senior knight.
The senior knight was about to spur its swordfish and make it avoid Jon’s wave attack again, but Jon wasn’t going to give him the chance to do so a second time and directly attacked the swordfish it was riding with Elemental Spirit Rush.
“Sniffle.”
The swordfish was temporarily stunned and did not dodge Jon’s wave. When the had wave reached the senior knight and the swordfish, he slashed out with his sword that was hidden inside the wave.
Blood that smelled of fish suddenly scattered in the sea. The senior knight’s swordfish mount had been killed by Jon.
The senior knight’s high mobility was achieved by relying on the swordfish’s speed. Thus, Jon did not choose to attack the senior knight just now, but rather the swordfish.
This was basically cutting off its high-speed legs.
“Captain!”
While the two of them were clashing swords, the other two elite knights had already caught up. When Jon looked in the direction of their voices, he could not help but frown.
He had just killed the senior knight’s mount. If these two elite knights were to come over, wouldn’t that be giving the senior knight a backup mount?
No, he could definitely not let them come over.
“Elemental Throw!”
Jon raised his hand and threw an elemental bomb at the two elite knights to hinder their movement. Then, he used Elemental Leap Wave Slash to head over and attack them.
“Be careful!”
The senior knight, after losing his mount, did not move very fast in the water. It could only watch as Jon went over running towards its subordinates.
“Elemental Spirit Rush!”
After getting close to the two elite swordfish knights, Jon first used Elemental Spirit Rush to stun one of them. Then, he used his water-rock elemental sword to slash the other.
It raised its pitchfork to block.
“Triple Sword Desire!”
Jon roared. His combat strength soared as he swung his sword down.
“Whoosh.”
The elite swordfish knight, along with the pitchfork in its hand and its mount, were cut in half by Jon’s sword!
“Ding! Mission completed. Elite Swordfish Knight killed. Level fragment +400 obtained. Successfully extracted water type advancement fragment +100 from the target’s body.”
“Ahhhh!”
When the other elite knight came back to its senses, it saw that its companion’s upper and lower body had been separated. Blood gushed onto its face, and it cried out in fear and fled into the distance.
“Elemental Throw!”
Jon threw another elemental bomb, but his vision went black.
After three consecutive battles, Jon felt that his elemental power had almost been used dry, which was a sign of exhaustion.
“Ding! Mission completed. Elite Swordfish Knight killed. Level fragment +450 obtained. Successfully extracted water type advanced fragment +150 from the target’s body.”
A system notification sounded in his ears, indicating that the swordfish elite knight who had attempted to escape had been killed by Jon’s elemental bomb.
