Chapter 483: Chapter 104 Absolutely Cunning_3

Although Liu Zhenhan realized that Xu Dela was attempting to escape, he was powerless to stop it. He had wanted to jump onto the back of the strange serpent, but it was flying so fast that he didn’t have the confidence to do so. The "Crystal Wind" of the Pegasus had little effect on Xu Dela. One of the Hydra’s heads was devoted to maintaining a magic shield, while the other two focused on attacking. The division of tasks was clear.

Fortunately, the Hydra wasn’t moving quickly. Liu was waiting for the right opportunity to deliver a blow that would penetrate its body. Although the Holy Knight’s T-shaped spear didn’t have the sharpest edge, the magical flames that flickered at its tip were far more deadly. After all, a Holy Knight with Dou Qi power didn’t need a sharp weapon, did he?

Back in his military days, Liu had used two types of bayonets: those with an edge and those with a T-shaped point. He almost felt that he had been a Holy Knight in the past.

Strength can be a difficult thing to measure. The "Metal Cage Barrier" of the mermaid king was indeed formidable. Even Liu, powerful as he was, felt aggrieved when trapped within it. If Xu Dela, the Hydra, was inside, it’s powerful magic would be more than enough to deal with the Sea Clan outside of the cage. However, whenever Xu Dela encountered Liu, it invariably ended up at a disadvantage. {PS: This line is also a message to all readers of this book: There are no absolute strong figures in the Aegean Continent, everything has its natural enemy.}

As Liu was persistently chasing and attacking, a net of lightning struck in front of the Pegasus, exposing the Tide Lord’s body in the air. Fortunately, the Pegasus was a flying magical beast, far more agile than the Hydra with a floating technique. Liu immediately made a sharp turn, skimming over the poisonous tail hook of the Tide Lord, and flew back to the place where he had removed the stone tablet, covered in sweat and with grey feathers scattered around him.

The Tide Lord, Gerein, revealed his massive body in the sky, his signature sinister laughter echoing out. With "Ice Wings" shimmering from his torso, he stared at Liu Zhenhan along with the Hydra upsides, Xu Dela.

"Emperor Polo~~" The vulgar parrot was standing near a coconut tree, twisting its neck and squawking.

"Bloody hell! When did the Invisibility Technique start to work in the daytime!" Liu Zhenhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You misunderstood, sir. What I used was just the ’Obscure Technique’" The Tide Lord chuckled sinisterly again: "It’s a pity that I failed to sneak up on you. You are truly remarkable!"

"Sure, sure! What level of mastery have you reached now?" Liu Zhenhan extended his thumbs up.

"You flatter me. My talent for magic has always been ordinary. I’ve only just reached the ’Daylight Obscure’ stage." The Tide Lord’s face presented a feigned agony.

Liu Zhenhan didn’t scoff; he sneered. This guy was insincere and shameless.

Ordinary "Invisibility Technique" and "Moon Shadow Technique" could only be effective at night and were invalid during the daytime. This included the rare magical equipment "Night Cloak". These niche magic techniques were not high in level, but extraordinarily difficult to cultivate. The magic cooldown periods were lengthy. Plenty of restrictions existed. For example, one couldn’t use any elemental power nor be attacked while using this magic. Otherwise, their shape would immediately appear. Moreover, it could easily be seen through by magic equipment like the "Eagle Eye Technique" or "Guard Sentinel". Therefore, besides human thieves and certain elves, few people practiced it.

The magic principle of "Obscure Technique" is similar to "Invisibility Technique". The difference lies in the three stages of the "Obscure Technique", namely, "Moon Obscure", "Bird Obscure" and "Daylight Obscure". The principle of "Moon Obscure" is similar to that of "Invisibility Technique". "Bird Obscure" allows for undetectable invisibility at night, even to "Eagle Eye Technique" and "Guard Sentinel". Once trained to the highest level of "Daylight Obscure", invisibility during daylight is achievable, which can only be seen through by advanced magic equipment such as "Shadow Dust" or "Magic Dispel".

The Tide Lord had already reached the highest stage, yet he pretended to be humble. His gloating was obvious. He had been stealthily scheming half the day, planning to have Liu Zhenhan run into his poisonous tail hook as he charged. This cunning scheme that was both meticulous and maliciously intended was so brilliantly executed that even Liu Zhenhan had to give credit where credit was due.

"You two planned this together, didn’t you?" Liu Zhenhan asked.

"Your wisdom illuminates the whole sky." The Tide Lord was obviously imitating Liu Zhenhan’s tone, "For two poor creatures like us imprisoned on this deserted island, if we don’t unite, we may easily get killed by the strong. He is my Tide Knight, what do you think, isn’t that a cool title?"

Hearing these words, Liu Zhenhan incessantly cursed under his breath. Standing on a coconut tree nearby, the parrot was cursing away too.

Who could have thought that these two had put on a perfect act, with such impeccable performance standards. Such a wilful person as Liu Zhenhan would have fallen for it if it had not been for that lightning saving him. Even two giant dragons would have had difficulty avoiding this cunning attack. Looking at the sinister bluish-green tail hook of the Tide Lord, it was clear that it contained a terrifyingly strong poison. Cunning! The Tide Lord was totally cunning! It truly lived up to its reputation as the embodiment of deceit! Liu Zhenhan checked the Pegasus’s wings. Luckily, the Tide Lord’s tail hook had just grazed the tip of the wing, leaving a slight gash. Since the ring spirit was not afraid of poison, this damage was minimal.
