Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Seizing the Sailboats, Mysterious Woman
John stood firm as the bearded man attacked. Without dodging or avoiding, the power of the earth element surged around him, instantly forming a battle armor around his body. It was the Amethyst Battle Armor.
Clang!
The bearded man's cleaver struck the armor, sending sparks flying, but John remained completely unharmed.
Buzz!
At that moment, the Immortal Sword, previously flying through the air, suddenly turned around and sped toward the man.
"Not good!" The bearded man's face shifted slightly as he noticed the sword coming back at him. He hurriedly turned and raised his cleaver to block the oncoming blade.
However, his back was now wide open, and John didn't hesitate. He swiftly kicked the man, sending him crashing into the swamp.
Boom!
The swamp water churned as three Swamp Giant Crocodiles emerged, their enormous jaws snapping as they charged toward the man.
"This one is mine!" John's expression remained cold. The Immortal Sword reappeared in his hand, and he executed a Flying Sword Strike, sending a blade of light flying.
Pfft!
Blood splattered as the bearded man was struck down, and his lifeless body dropped straight into the swamp.
The water churned violently as the Swamp Giant Crocodiles went into a frenzy, devouring the man's corpse in seconds. Afterward, they turned their attention to John.
Splash!
The swamp water splashed as the three massive crocodiles lunged at him.
John was unbothered. With a thought, he activated the Unrivaled Sword Formation.
Buzz!
Countless sword lights erupted, instantly riddling the three Swamp Giant Crocodiles with holes. A prompt flashed, and John's overall strength received another boost.
He casually retrieved the magic cores of the three giant crocodiles before turning his focus on the remaining pirate forces.
The swamp pirates were formidable, mostly five-star or six-star Awakened Ones, making them ideal targets to help him restore his strength.
Screams echoed through the swamp as blood stained the waters. The strong smell of blood attracted even more Swamp Giant Crocodiles.
Many pirates didn't die at John and Sini's hands, but instead, they were devoured by the crocodiles.
Finally, they realized the terrifying power of the two. Fear replaced their resolve to fight. "These damn humans are hiding their true power. We can't beat them, we have to run!" One pirate couldn't bear the pressure any longer and hastily retreated toward the remaining sailboats.
Whoosh!
A roar of dragon fire shot out, instantly obliterating the closest sailboat. The resulting explosion sent several pirates flying into the air.
Avis looked apologetic. "Sorry, Master. I couldn't hold back."
John gave him a glare and said, "Don't destroy them all. Leave at least one sailboat."
"Got it!" Avis replied, breathing out another dragonfire breath. He destroyed the remaining boats, leaving only the last one intact.
The surviving pirates, now completely demoralized, fled in panic toward the last remaining sailboat.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind howled as Avis dove down, cutting off their escape route. Though his strength was only at six stars, he was more than enough to block these pirates.
On the other side, John and Sini worked together, swiftly slaughtering the remaining pirates who were paralyzed with fear. In an instant, the last few dozen were wiped out.
"Humans, you slaughtered the Swamp Pirates... you will never leave this Dead Swamp alive!" The final pirate shouted angrily, unwilling to die at John's sword.
John didn't even spare him a glance. He wasn't concerned at all about these pirate leaders. No matter how many of them there were, he wasn't afraid. In fact, they helped him grow
stronger.
The swamp was littered with over a hundred bodies, with several Swamp Giant Crocodiles among them. The air was thick with the scent of blood.
"Let's go. We can use the sailboat to leave this place," John said, quickly cleaning up the battlefield. There was nothing of value on the pirates' corpses.
He had no intention of lingering here, worried that the overwhelming smell of blood would attract even stronger magical beasts.
The thunderous sounds echoed as the swamp stirred, and the black dragon fire rose into the
air.
Roar! Roar!
Angry roars filled the air as massive beasts emerged from the swamp. With wings sprouting from their backs and long, serpent-like necks, they were the Two-headed Black Dragons- rare seven-star magical beasts of the swamp.
Despite being called "black dragons," their heads and necks looked more like that of giant
serpents.
"Damn, this many?!" Avis exclaimed in surprise as more and more Two-headed Black Dragons charged out from the swamp. He hurriedly retreated toward the sailboat, realizing that he had underestimated the number of these creatures. He had thought there was only one, but now, at least a dozen had appeared, and more were still emerging.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind howled as more than a dozen Two-headed Black Dragons surged toward Avis,
their roars deafening.
"Master, help me!" Avis cried out in panic, completely taken aback. His current strength was only at the six-star level, far from enough to deal with these Two-headed Black Dragons. On the deck, Xayah, who was hiding behind the women, subtly changed her expression.
Inside, she cursed, "These humans are so reckless-how dare they provoke the Two-headed Black Dragons!"
With a helpless sigh, she thought to herself that it seemed she would have to keep running.
But as long as she got out of this swamp, she'd be safe.
John looked at the oncoming flood of Two-headed Black Dragons, realizing that this would
be tricky. He wasn't afraid of the beasts, but he was concerned they might destroy the
sailboat.
Buzz!
He focused his mind, and the power of the Earth element surged. In an instant, a massive wall
of earth formed to shield the sailboat.
Boom!
"Ouch!" Avis cried out in pain as he collided with the earthen wall. Dazed, he muttered,
"Master, are you trying to kill me?"
John's anger flared. "Idiot, couldn't you lead them somewhere else?"
"Heh, got it," Avis grinned awkwardly, stabilizing himself midair. He circled around the
sailboat and shot upward into the sky.
John's mind stirred, and Immortal Sword materialized in his hand, transforming into a streak of light that shot forward. At the same time, he activated the Infinite Sword Array, and a storm of sword beams erupted, almost entirely enveloping the dozen or so Two-headed Black
Dragons.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, accompanied by the pitiful cries of the dragons. Two of the Two-headed Black Dragons were pierced through by multiple sword beams. After a few futile attempts to
flap their wings, their massive bodies crashed to the ground with a thunderous sound, lifeless.
"So strong!"
Xayah was secretly startled by the sight. She hadn't expected John to possess such power. No wonder he had been able to kill those swamp pirates. Meanwhile, Sini simply watched from the side, not making a move.
John alone was more than enough to handle these Two-headed Black Dragons. Xayah seemed to sense Sini's gaze. She looked back at her and gave a harmless, sweet smile.
Boom! Boom!
One by one, the black dragons crashed down, creating giant waves that rocked the sailboat.
Despite John's efforts, more and more Two-headed Black Dragons continued to emerge from the swamp.
John had already ascended into the sky, wielding Immortal Sword with ruthless precision. As
he cut through the air, slaying the beasts one by one, his brow furrowed. He called out loudly, "Avis, do you know who took your Black Magic Crystal?"
