Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 277: Fierce Battle with Sea King, Elemental Evade Technique



"Godslayer!" Sea King's voice was deep and chilling. "I'm giving you one last chance: submit to me, and I'll spare your life!"

"Dream on!" John scoffed, his longsword swelling in size almost instantly.

An artifact of the highest grade, able to change size at will.

Whoosh!

John's longsword sliced through the air, coming down with tremendous force.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Sea King sneered, his gaze dismissive. He raised his trident effortlessly, blocking the strike with ease.

Clang!

A sharp crash resonated, leaving Sea King firmly grounded, while John was sent flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth.

"Godslayer, you may be strong, but against The Overseer, you're completely outmatched!" Sea King twirled his trident, casting a disdainful glance in John's direction.

"Is that so?" John wiped the blood from his mouth, his expression growing more solemn.

Both he and Sea King held the title of The Overseer, but Sea King was in a league far beyond Heidern. There was no comparing the two.

So there are levels among The Overseers after all.

"I'll see for myself just how powerful The Overseer can be!" John wasn't one to give up easily. An intense fighting spirit ignited within him.

"Nine Heavens Sword!" he shouted, unleashing three fierce sword beams that shattered the surrounding space, the chaotic currents rushing around.

Sea King's expression grew serious, though he still looked unbothered.

Crack, crack...

The massive sword beams cut through the air, leaving collapsing, shattered space in their wake, streaking toward Sea King.

"Break!" Sea King roared, stabbing out with his enormous trident, sending ripples through the space.

Boom, boom...

A series of explosions erupted as the massive sword beams shattered instantly.

John spat blood again, sent flying backward.

"So powerful!" he thought, overwhelmed.

Sea King's attacks were terrifyingly potent yet controlled, leaving no rift in the void. His command of energy had reached an extraordinary level.

"Once more!" John shouted through gritted teeth, activating his ultimate skill, Return of Ten Thousand Swords.

Buzz!

Sword energy filled the air, descending in torrents like rain, whistling as it fell, aiming to engulf Sea King.

"A mere trick!" Sea King's face twisted in scorn as he swung his arm, generating a powerful wind that dispersed every last sword beam.

John felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Even when he had faced a divine avatar, he hadn't felt this outmatched.

The gap between him and Sea King was vast. No matter how much power he summoned, he couldn't even graze his opponent.

"Godslayer, I don't want to kill you. Here's your last chance: submit to me!" Sea King pointed his massive trident at John, coldly threatening him.

"Lord, don't waste time with this guy; just kill him," the guardian dragon urged impatiently from a distance, clearly disliking John.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Sea King shot him a frigid glare, silencing him instantly.

"I'll say it again-dream on!" John rejected without hesitation, channeling his soul attack.

He couldn't sense any Soul Technique from Sea King, but it was the only ace he had left.

Buzz!

The air trembled as his Soul Impact technique activated.

Sea King remained still, unfazed by the incoming attack, as ripples coursed through the air around him, leaving him unharmed.

"You... also possess Blood Moon's ability!" John exclaimed, stunned. Sea King, like the Shadow Clan warrior Blood Moon, was immune to soul attacks.

However, Sea King was an even more formidable opponent.

Sea King's physical strength far surpassed that of Blood Moon, making him indestructible, let alone killable.

"Heh, Blood Moon's ability?" Sea King scoffed with a cold laugh. "That technique originates from the Sea Clan. That guy merely exchanged a part of himself to acquire it."

"Godslayer, since you're so stubborn, it's time for you to vanish!" His patience had run out. In a flash, his massive form disappeared, reappearing right in front of John, and he drove his trident straight through John's heart.

[You have been one-shotted by Sea King; Lifesaver talent triggered...]

The system notification flashed as John was resurrected in place, though his soul had suffered substantial damage.

Even Sea King's basic attacks carried soul-damaging effects.

Thankfully, his Lifesaver talent triggered, granting him ten seconds of invincibility.

"Damn it!" John cursed, and as his invincibility held, the elemental powers around him surged in waves, launching dozens of magical attacks that crashed down with explosive force. Yet Sea King remained serene, deflecting each attack effortlessly and emerging without a

scratch.

He seemed to have no weaknesses whatsoever.

"Godslayer, I'd like to see how many attacks your soul can withstand!" Sea King sneered, raising his trident once again. As a powerful gale swept through the air, John's invincibility

ended, and he was killed instantly.

Lifesaver talent triggered a second time.

John's face went pale, and he coughed up blood again, his soul severely damaged. A few more strikes like this, and he might truly be finished.

This couldn't go on.

"Golden Lotus Hellfire!" he gritted his teeth, unleashing the soul skill Golden Lotus Hellfire,

a technique that bypassed all soul defenses, his only move capable of harming Sea King.

Whoosh!

Golden flames erupted, engulfing Sea King in an instant.

"Hmm? Hellfire!" Sea King winced in pain; his soul defenses couldn't withstand the searing

Hellfire, which began to consume and purify his soul.

Yet, even this powerful soul attack posed only a minimal threat to him.

Enduring the fiery agony from the depths of his soul, Sea King used a skill against John for the

first time.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the void rippled with emerald waves that transformed into a towering tsunami, crashing down like an immense hammer.

"Not good!" John's face fell. He could sense that his soul couldn't withstand this onslaught.

"Golden Lotus Manifestation!" Within his mind, his soul was enveloped in a golden glow, a solemn aura taking form, protecting him from all harm in this divine soul state. However, the cost was enormous, depleting 1,000 Soul Technique points per second.

Boom!

The thunderous crash shook the very space around them as John was submerged in a torrent of seawater, once again one-shotted by Sea King.

But this time, thanks to Golden Lotus Manifestation, his soul emerged unscathed. "What a powerful skill!" Sea King exclaimed, sensing the transformation within John's soul.

"Godslayer, I have to admit, the abilities you wield are ones even I find enviable. But rest assured, once you're dead, I won't let your talents go to waste." He let out a chilling laugh and continued his relentless skill attacks.

Although Golden Lotus Manifestation made John immune to soul damage, every death still inflicted heavy trauma on his soul. If this continued, he'd inevitably fall.

Whoosh!

A hurricane rose, sweeping up towering waves that once again surged toward John. Without hesitation, John canceled his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, reverting to

his true form. He merged mysteriously into the seawater, avoiding any damage.

In his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, his soul power wasn't enhanced, so

maintaining it only wasted spiritual energy.

"Water Evasion!" Sea King gasped, recognizing John's skill.

"Interesting." A faint smile appeared on Sea King's face as he also reverted to his true form, his powerful mental strength instantly locking onto John's presence.

John had no chance of hiding from him.

"I must admit, the skills of The Immortals are impressive. But you're still far too weak!" Sea

said coldly, with a wave of his hand dispersing the surrounding waves and siphoning off the water element, leaving John's figure exposed.

"What an uncanny ability!" John was shocked. The Overseer, truly in control of his domain,

lived up to his reputation.

Sea King looked smug. "Now, how will you respond?"

With that, he launched another wave of attacks, the air swirling as countless Wind Blades

whistled toward John.

"I don't rely on just one evasion technique," John sneered, his figure vanishing again as he activated Wind Evasion.

The Wind Blades tore through the air, but John escaped unscathed once more. "More?" Sea King's brow furrowed. The Golden Lotus Hellfire still burned around him, its agony intensifying deep within his soul.

"I refuse to believe you've mastered all elemental evasions!" he roared, drawing away the surrounding wind element. In its place, a beam of radiant light struck down from above.

It was an attack of light magic.

John frowned. He hadn't mastered Light Evasion, but that didn't stop him from using other

evasion techniques.

Buzz!

The power of earth elements swelled around him as he activated Earth Evasion, and his figure

faded once more.

"Die!" Sea King roared in fury, unleashing not only his light magic but also a fierce soul

attack.

John anticipated it and activated Golden Lotus Manifestation once more.

Boom!

A resounding impact echoed deep in his mind, but his soul remained unharmed. Reappearing, John smirked as he looked at Sea King and taunted, "You can't hurt me, but I can hurt you. Let's see how long your soul can endure this!"

A muscle twitched on Sea King's face. Though his soul was indeed stronger than John's, under the relentless burn of Golden Lotus Hellfire, it would eventually face complete devouring. "Hmph! Do you truly think you're a match for me?" Sea King took a deep breath and, using an eerie technique, drained the elemental power of laws surrounding John.

"Let's see how you use elemental evasion now!" He flashed forward, appearing directly

before John, thrusting his trident viciously.

Splat!

Blood sprayed as John was struck down instantly, unable to defend himself. Fortunately, he managed to activate Golden Lotus Manifestation in time, shielding his soul.

He resurrected, barely catching his breath before Sea King's onslaught continued.

Boom, boom...

The trident swept through the air, striking like a storm.

Even in his Lifesaver invincibility, John felt the impact, blood pouring from his eyes, ears, and

nose.

As soon as his invincibility ended, he was killed once more. "Godslayer, let's see whose soul endures longer-yours or mine." Sea King's chilling voice

echoed, and his terrifying attacks fell once again.

John felt a surge of panic; Sea King's attacks were too bizarre, forcing him to use Golden Lotus

Manifestation to protect his soul every time he resurrected.

With Golden Lotus Hellfire draining his soul power, he wouldn't last much longer.

Once his soul power ran out, his death was certain.

"Die already!" Sea King's icy voice reverberated as his dreadful attacks fell once more.

John's expression grew grave. He'd already exhausted his five Lifesaver talent uses. Dying again would trigger Undying and Immortal, but without invincibility, he'd be no match for Sea King.

He needed a way to turn the tables-and fast!
