Chapter 181: Lolth Is Caught by the Tentacles!
Although this enormous, multi-tentacled monster’s level and power fluctuations seemed to be only at the Legend High Level, within this evil Divine Kingdom, every inch of its flesh was infused with the Power of the Evil God. This sinister energy pushed its combat strength far beyond Patricia’s.
Previously, when she had used the Green Sky Star Heaven to steer the magic crystal boat and evade, it was evident that Patricia had no desire to face the tentacled monster’s attack directly.
Now, Lolth has just dispelled the dark green mist, and Patricia understands that it is her turn to deal with the attacks from these tentacles.
After all, even this mysterious succubus, whether called Kululu or Lolth, would need some cooldown time after using an eighth-level Arcane spell and could not immediately cast a defensive magic to counter the strikes of these tentacles.
By common sense, even if she was as strong as Patricia, she would need to catch her breath for a few seconds.
This time, the tentacles are not coming from “below the water surface” but are striking down from above, covering a wider area than before, making it impossible for the magic crystal boat to escape even when pushed to the limit.
The only strategy now is to withstand it with defensive spells.
However, given that this magical beast is at the Legend High Level and its flesh is infused with the Power of the Evil God, its raw physical strength is exceptionally formidable.
A strike infused with the Power of the Evil God is definitely not something that an ordinary level six or seven defense magic can withstand.
“I really need to pull out my best stuff…”
With this thought, Patricia looked at the approaching tentacles without any fear or panic.
Instead, she showed a slightly excited smile.
“O life force that I sing of, O light of the stars that I praise, O ring of truth that I glimpse, please protect me, guard me, and let me avoid all suffering in this vibrant life—Halo of the Verdant Star barrier!”
The complex level-nine magic of both the Star and Nature systems was swiftly cast. This spell was one of the secret arts of the “Morning Star” lineage’s Sage class—renowned for its exceptional power even among level-nine magic. It carried the reputation of being “a defensive magic close to the Forbidden Spell level.”
A pale white starry light was released from the magic wand she held above her head, forming a star ring that resembled intertwined branches and vines, quickly expanding overhead.
Inside the annulus, there was also a surge of magical energy, creating an invisible barrier.
After the star ring fully opened, the tentacles fell from the sky.
“Boom!”
The dark green, slimy tentacle lashed against the Halo of the Verdant Star, only to be repelled by the potent magical waves of the ninth-level spell. Moreover, as the spell was cast through the Sacred Tool-level magic wand, Green Sky Star Heaven, its power was amplified by more than fifty percent compared to casting it without a wand.
Although the Power of the Evil God attached to this tentacle continuously eroded and consumed the magic of the Halo of the Verdant Star, the attack was indeed stopped.
In the end, even until the seven or eight massive tentacles of this magical beast grew tired and slid aside, the Halo of the Verdant Star in the air did not fade away!
“We stopped it!”
Patricia shouted excitedly, and at the same time, she swung her magic wand again.
Her goal was not just to block this one attack.
The Halo of the Verdant Star barrier, as a ninth-level spell, not only defends against all kinds of attacks but also activates the life force and magic of the people within the barrier.
Moreover, as Green Sky Star Heaven resonated with the “Morning Star” magic, to which it held a strong affinity, it significantly reduced mana consumption. As a result, Patricia was now able to cast another spell.
And taking advantage of the moment when the tentacle attack had run out, what she needed to do was naturally to “counterattack”!
“Blade of the Gale!”
To prevent the tentacles from swiftly retreating beneath the water, Patricia chose to forgo chanting a high-level attack spell. Instead, she opted to instantly cast a level-seven wind attack spell to inflict damage first.
“Swish!”
Several large wind blades flew from her side towards the falling tentacles, cutting into the soft and slippery-looking tentacles, but the effect was not very noticeable.
“Chop!”
Those tentacles, attacked with full force by the same level Great Sage, did not come away unharmed.
In fact, many tentacles were even sliced open and on the verge of falling apart by the furious and swift wind blades, almost breaking in half.
However, the effectiveness was not significant; this kind of injury did not have much impact on this magical beast that seemed to be an evil god’s Spawn.
Its tentacles twitched slightly, releasing green smoke again, but this time, it did not aim at Lolth and the others; instead, it filled the space around its tentacles.
Mild scratches bathed in the smoke-filled with the Power of the Evil God healed almost instantly.
Even the more serious injuries were slowly healing before the naked eye.
Seeing this, the four people present felt quite troubled.
“Is it… healing quickly?”
Dorothy asked in astonishment.
Tina nodded and said, “It seems so; it looks like it can absorb the Power of the Evil God it releases.”
Lolth expressed her displeasure more directly, saying, “Ugh, it’s a healing power for itself but an eroding power for its enemies. That’s just unfair.”
“Ah… As expected, magical beasts connected to the spawn of the Evil God are troublesome. Self-healing types are my third least favorite,” Patricia muttered as she continued casting her spells. “Now, let’s see just how far your healing and regeneration can go!”
The tentacles, which are healing now, still have not retreated beneath the waters filled with the Power of the Evil God.
The gems of the Green Sky Star Heaven shone brightly again, and even more violent wind magic flowed from her body through the magical pathways formed by the seven gems, gathering into stronger wind blades.
“Unrestrained power of the wind, the freest element, destroy everything in my path—Raging Wind Blades!”
More wind blades burst forth than before, with even greater power, mostly aiming at the places that were cut just moments ago.
This time, the effect was finally clear.
“Swish—!”
After several whooshing sounds, all eight dancing tentacles instantly bore deep wounds!
In fact, two of the tentacles were completely severed and fell into the water.
However, despite this, Patricia and Lolth could not smile.
Because Patricia noticed that these tentacles kept growing back even after being cut off.
And she had just used an eighth-level wind magic attack.
If this continues, it will be hard to truly “seriously injure” it!
After all, the tentacles on the water’s surface are just a part of the magical beast’s body.
Just when Patricia felt that things were getting a bit troublesome, she heard Lolth’s voice behind her.
“Um, I have a small problem over here… let’s meet again.”
Lolth said this, and Patricia turned her head.
She saw a thinner tentacle, about the size of a bowl, sneaking up from below the water and wrapping around Lolth’s legs.
