Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 815 - 699: Old Acquaintance (Part 2)

After exchanging a few blows, Aiven confirmed his judgment was entirely correct.

This guy was using the Military Swordsmanship passed down throughout the entire Tulip Alliance, and his essence of life was extremely close to those bugs Aiven had encountered in the Clock Tower earlier.

He couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly; this originally simple trip to the Broken Star Islands was far beyond his expectations.

"An Insectoid who can use Military Swordsmanship? Has the power of the Chaos Worm leaked from the Clock Tower? And what exactly do this large group of Ancient God's Followers, united together, want to do?

Forget it, I'll take you down directly, I'm not afraid I won't uncover your true identity!"

Bang!

After dodging his longsword again and getting behind him, Aiven stomped his right foot and lightning-fast activated the Bloodline Plugin: Giant he had just acquired.

A blood-red giant phantom holding a long spear and roaring to the sky exploded behind him. Although it didn't make any sound, the life-instinct-intimidating might was already enough to frighten anyone.

Bloodline Ability: Titan Army

Originally, Aiven, as a Branded Swordsman, already had a three-dimensional attribute balance of 9.8, just a tiny bit away from reaching the Tier 3 limit with no further progress possible.

At this moment, the red light continuously gushing out of his body intertwined with the resonant Divine Power surrounding him, causing his strength, constitution, and speed to almost explosively double from their original bases; a fighting spirit soaring to the heavens rose heroically in his heart.

Unlike the effect when Bradley used it, which shook the atmosphere, it was evident that although Princess Teia and Bradley were both giants, their inherited bloodline sources were different.

This is a comprehensive enhancement ability encompassing the three-dimensional attributes and fighting spirit; not only is physical strength extremely enhanced, but in this state, there's also almost no worry about being controlled by same-level Mind Witchcraft.

It's like an alternative Tyrant Body status.

In an instant.

The electricity that had completely turned red crackled across Aiven's body, and his deliberately adjusted physique expanded by another circle. The majestic and fiery life energy field had turned into something like a red-hot furnace of a steel plant.

Every ounce of strength was fully unified within the Titan Army, and his right fist, like a ball-shaped lightning, shone with a dazzling bright red electric light. Then, driven by the layers of magnetic lines, it slammed down hard on the Insectoid's left shoulder.

Boom——!

The scorching light filled the entire view in an instant, as if an entire powder magazine exploded at the point of the fist, a single iron fist alone almost unleashed the terrifying power of an Electromagnetic Cannon's roar.

The light slowly dissipated, and part of the Insectoid's body had already been reduced to ashes in the violent energy burst. Even the relatively intact parts were charred, and a deep, long furrow was plowed into the ground.

Looking at the exaggerated scene before him, Aiven slowly retracted his fist.

"This... didn't get killed with a single punch, did it?"

Until he noticed that the Insectoid, which remained unmoving on the surface, was gradually self-healing at an incredibly slow pace under the effect of some bizarre ability, did Aiven slightly breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time.

Of the four casters encircled by rocky giant hands into small mounds, the two Tier 2 Blasphemous Cultists had already been crushed to death.

While the other two Tier 3 Deceitful Dream Cultists directly abandoned the human bodies they had painstakingly seized, which were their means of remaining in the Material World.

They fully released their essence as Spirit Realm creatures, used void to penetrate through layers of earth and stone, and came to the outside world.

Without saying a word, they were ready to return to the Spirit Realm.

Since the mission was doomed to fail, cutting losses promptly was the best policy. For such Spirit Realm creatures, the frontline was never where they belonged; deception and schemes were their true vocations.

As for the Insectoid with no escape, well, who cared? Even if the Ancient Gods were a unified front, it couldn't change the fact that they weren't good people anyway.

However, just as they escaped the control of the giant hand, they were met with a dazzling flash of sword light.

The line of suddenly appearing blinding white light swept through them like a white dragon without the slightest obstruction. Then came a second flash, a third, a fourth...

The two Octopus Heads, with frozen expressions, hung in the air as if struck into a critical hit and airborne, their bodies suspended mid-air, yet they continued to twitch as the sword light flickered.

Although the expression resembled that of the Snake-eyed Witch moments ago, the consequences were much graver.

The Sword Qi influenced by Creator's Blood had become wise enough to launch attacks of its own. And because there was no master wielding the sword, the attack speed was extremely fast, having gone back and forth dozens of times on their bodies in the blink of an eye.

Casually slicing them into... uh, 2 to the power of n pieces.

Until a breeze blew past, the two Tier 3 Deceitful Dream Cultists had already disintegrated into scattered particles of light, utterly disappearing from the world.

Upon witnessing this scene, Aiven shrugged, temporarily having no intention of interrogating the Insectoid, the only survivor. Using the highest-grade Extraordinary Shackles to completely secure him, he tossed him into his Witchcraft Garden where experimental materials were held.

Then, he released the witches again.

It was only at this moment that Aiven found the leisure to closely examine the appearance of the Tier 3 Witch.

"Thank you for your assistance, unfamiliar Wizard sir, I am..."

No wonder she's an Upper-Rank Wizard who has lived for hundreds of years; the Snake-eyed Witch, after consuming the Purification Potion and resting for a bit, already looked much better, no longer needing her two students' support to stand.

Even the act of expressing gratitude restored that ingrained seductive charm, matched with the thin and still-damp clothing clinging to her skin. She was much like a beautiful serpent woman, making it truly difficult not to stare.

Yet before she could finish her introduction, Aiven suddenly removed the mask from his face, rudely gazing fixedly at her stunningly beautiful face, uncertainly saying:

"Are you... the Snake Witch Serra?!"

Regarding the overly direct gaze of her rescuer, the Snake-eyed Witch didn't mind much; in her long life, such gazes were commonplace.

She glanced back at her two students beside her, thinking they had told the unfamiliar wizard her name during her unconsciousness.

But they both shook their heads, implying that given the significance of a wizard's true name, they could not have disclosed it without the teacher's consent.

Turning back, a hint of puzzlement flashed in her yellow serpent eyes:

"How do you know my name?"

Aiven had no intention of being mysterious. Confirming that he hadn't recognized the wrong person, he took out a yellow gem pendant and swung it before her. It was the control secret key for the Super Giant Rock Golem: Mountain Giant.

"I am Aiven Galliot, you may call me Aiven or Red Fir. My school's legacy comes from the Snake-man Heber Crete. I didn't expect that you would still be alive!"

His words were filled with complex emotions.

The twins' teacher was none other than the Snake Witch, who was hunted with the Snake-man by the Silver Knight, as seen in images in the stone grotto inside the Mountain Giant.

According to the Snake-man's records, there were four wizards who fled the Old Continent together: Wizard Diego from the Elemental School and Wizard Trish from the Curse School fell on the spot. Heber Crete narrowly escaped but suffered grievous wounds from the Holy Sword and, after arranging his school's legacy, soon also fell in the ocean.

And standing before Aiven was the strongest and only surviving wizard out of the four—Snake Witch Serra.
