Chapter 182: Lolth Was Dragged Away by the Tentacles!

Patricia had to admit that the barrier defense of Halo of the Verdant Star had a flaw.

That is, its “all-direction defense” did not include the area right beneath it.

Attacks from the sides and above could mostly be blocked—of course, normally, earth magic would be blocked by the barrier around.

But as a tentacle emerged from beneath the water, Patricia had to acknowledge that it was her own oversight.

She had been too confident in the Halo of the Verdant Star and forgot that the underwater was the creature’s “home field”!

And not just her; it was clear that the others on the boat had also missed this point.

From the subtle ripple of that tiny tentacle, it seemed to be specifically made for “sneak attacks.”

Otherwise, even if they had overlooked it, everyone wouldn’t have realized it until it reached the ship and wrapped around Lolth.

“Darn it, this monster of the evil god is more cunning than I imagined!”

As Patricia said this, she turned her magic wand to help Lolth with the ending, but Lolth stopped her with a voice.

“Don’t move! The tentacle can’t hurt me. If you provoke it, it will be worse…”

She calmly raised her hand to speak, while Tina, who was also stopped, nearly rushed over.

“Stay on the boat; I’ll be right back.”

Just after Lolth finished speaking, before the others on the boat could react, the tentacle suddenly tightened, pulling Lolth up from the boat, with more tentacles wrapping around the succubus’s body, dragging her towards the bottom of the water.

“Master Lolth!”

Tina shouted, wanting to jump into the water, but she was stopped again.

“Don’t come—glub glub glub…”

“Splash!”

In the last stern command of Lolth and the sound of falling into the water, Tina stood by the edge of the boat. After her expression changed, she finally gritted her teeth and did not jump in.

“Believe in the master of Lolth!”

As she said this, she looked again at the huge tentacles still above the water. Ignoring that her magical energy had not fully recovered, she forcefully activated the spell.

“You are Lord Patricia, right? Next, I will do my best to assist you!”

Hearing Tina’s words, Patricia glanced once more at the bubbling spot where Lolth had sunk into the water but chose to remain silent.

Since this elf had chosen to “believe” that the succubus could escape, there was nothing more to say.

However, this was ultimately her own mistake… so, she still had to “do something.”

“Then hold on for a moment,” Patricia said, glancing at the resolute Tina. She rolled up the sleeves of her wizard robe, gripping the Green Sky Star Heaven technique in a reverse hold. A fierce look flashed across her face. “That disgusting tentacle monster dared to slap me in the face! Today, I’ll let that hybrid relic raised by an evil god—that pitiful thing whose master is already dead—see what ‘Morning Star’ Great Sage means! What real destruction looks like! A forbidden spell!”

As she said this, her magical energy surged powerfully, and she began to chant complex and cold syllables in an ancient language.

At that moment, the power around Patricia made Tina and Dorothy feel a little uneasy.

They could sense that as the power gathered, the once-unbreakable barrier preventing Patricia from reaching the legendary high level had begun to waver.

“I understand, I will buy you some time… as long as you don’t accidentally hurt Master Lolth.”

After witnessing Patricia’s actions, Tina realized she was preparing to unleash a powerful spell capable of potentially defeating the creatures below. Without hesitation, Tina launched a fierce attack on the approaching tentacles in the air, aiming to distract and restrain them.

“Of course not… this forbidden spell has a small range.”

Since she was using her mouth to chant, Patricia could only respond with her magic, and her voice sounded cold.

This reply indeed revealed a hint of meaning.

Because a forbidden spell with a small range means… its power at a single point might be unimaginably terrifying.

Meanwhile, beneath the water, Lolth also sensed the movement above.

“Oh dear, the Great Sage is getting angry…”

Feeling a terrifying power rising, Lolth raised an eyebrow as she was pulled under the water by the tentacles.

“Well, this is a good thing; at least it can hide what I did underwater…”

She was grabbed by those tentacles, but that was on purpose.

In fact, even though Lolth didn’t notice the tentacles at first, the moment she left the water’s surface, she sensed the thin, hidden tentacles.

Lolth had planned to deal with it before anyone else noticed, but after she realized the tentacles were after her, she decided to play along.

To deal with an enemy that has strong healing abilities, Patricia’s method of gradually wearing them down with attacks that exceed their healing speed is one way, but there is also a “shortcut.”

Even the strongest healing monsters cannot have every part of their body with strong healing abilities.

There must be a “weak point” that cannot regenerate and will die upon being touched.

Even if, in special situations, the monster can be hit without dying, it will often lose a lot of its fighting power and ability to heal itself.

Some monsters can still regenerate even after having their heads severed or their hearts destroyed, but that’s only because neither their head nor heart is their true vital point.

Even the slime, which is known for its strong healing ability, will die if you crush its small, transparent core.

Instead of struggling to find the core, using Patricia’s method to crush it is a shortcut for dealing with such weak monsters.

As for the current tentacle monster, Lolth thinks that finding the core is definitely quicker.

Without a doubt, the core of this tentacle monster is most likely hidden beneath the water.

Just like how humans don’t have their brains and hearts in their hands or feet.

Because the core is clearly hidden under the water, the other three people on the boat would never think of this idea.

After all, the Power of the Evil God in this water is overwhelmingly strong; anyone who enters would struggle to withstand it, let alone battle the tentacle monster that clearly treats this place as its domain.

Only Lolth felt that she might give it a try.

After experiencing the Ultimate Power, she thought she could completely ignore the conditions of home and away.

However, after being dragged down for several dozen meters while holding her breath, Lolth felt a bit regretful.

Because the feeling of being soaked in this water filled with the Power of the Evil God was truly disgusting!

Although she wouldn’t be affected, the discomfort here was just too overwhelming!
