Chapter 1193 588: End_2

Aim, shoot.

"Swoosh!"

From the [Silver Vein Longbow], the arrow formed of pure energy glow tore through the air, leaving a faint trail in its wake, landing precisely on the neck of the Shark Beast.

From the moment it descended, it was already severely injured; its thick skin instantly pierced by the Light Arrow, leaving a gushing bloody wound on the side of its stout neck.

This sudden pause in action prevented the Shark Beast, which seemed on the verge of catching the tiny mouse-like creature beneath it, from striking instantly.

Buzz—

Blood shimmered, muscles convulsed to stop the bleeding.

A nearly five-meter massive body slowly turned.

Its eyes ferocious, sending a fierce gaze that seemed to traverse space, looking far into the distance at the tall figure holding the Longbow.

In the crucial moment of battle, Sarisa managed to overcome her internal fear, letting courage prevail.

But this did not mean she achieved some kind of qualitative transformation in terms of strength.

"Boom!!"

The massive, sturdy body displayed exaggerated explosive power under the support of rock-like muscles.

With just a few steps from its powerful, thick legs, the distance between them was closed to the closest.

Instinctively, Sarisa held the Longbow in front as protection.

And precisely because of this, when the giant, blood-covered iron fist that almost engulfed her upper body struck her, she did not die on the spot.

Instead, she was sent flying, tumbling through the sandy ground over and over, landing in an almost twisted position, unable to move.

"Am I going to die..."

The severe pain seemed to have surpassed human limits, yet was no longer visible, as consciousness gradually sank as if falling into the Abyss.

Sarisa couldn't move her head, only slightly tilting it, to see the nearby sand and the sea surface stretching to the horizon.

A pitch-black shadow slowly spread inward from the edge.

Though she had no experience of death, at this moment Sarisa suddenly knew that when the shadow consumed all she could see, her life would end just like her mother's, who disappeared into the waves that night.

Her pupils expanded and contracted slowly.

At that moment, Sarisa could hear the sound of blood flowing from the wound and the increasingly weak and slow heartbeat at the center of her chest.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

"Boom!!"

At that moment, in the delayed pumping sound echoing through her chest.

A heavy, drum-like booming sound Sarisa had never heard suddenly came from beneath the sea at the edge of her sight.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As if carrying some primal rhythm, the strong and powerful heartbeat echoed in layers deep beneath the sea.

Glug glug—

Initially, just a few boiling-like bubbles, but soon, accompanied by more bubbles, a large area of seawater seemed stirred by some invisible force.

Waves rippled, topped with a flame-red unique to fire, impossible to appear on a liquid.

"Boom!!!"

In the steaming water, a red column suddenly exploded.

The shattered crest of the waves hadn't yet returned to blend into the sea, when the fiery figure had already settled onto the dark reef by the shore with a seemingly slow yet swift approach.

Swish—

Fine sparks exhaled through the breath, swaying and fading in the hot air.

The Straight Sword that should've been ashen black now swirled with fiery light, turning sunset-like brilliant orange-red, with the sword's scorching tip piercing the underlying rock, supporting its wielder as they descended and knelt from the air.

Blazing wind blew, each hair strand end ignited with tiny flames, dragging fleeting fiery trails with each movement.

Ashes fell from the edges of the clothing, emitting a mysterious and mournful glow of molten fire spreading across the surface.

From boots to Leg Armor, from Leg Armor to armor.

Slowly lifting his head.

Revealing eyes like a solar eclipse, black inside with an outer layer of fiery glow.

"Boom!"

The drum-like heart's roar resounded in the field again.

Announcing the start of the battle.

Without wasting even a second, as Sarisa and the Blood Skin Shark Beast spotted this flickering silhouette with the fiery glow.

Only swirling scorching air and scattered sparks were left on the reef.

[Teeth Hunting].

A high-pitched wolf howl erupted suddenly, the black Powerful Qi painted with a layer of fiery red, every step falling with sharp wolf heads spewing fine sparks, instantly crossing the barrier of space.

As Xia Nan's final trump card, [Embers Resonance] elevated his severely wounded and dying bloodline to 66%, further increasing his already Supermodel attributes overall by 33%.

Such enhancement allows even an ordinary punch to unleash tremendous power far beyond before.

Let alone the high-quality Battle Skill currently in use, maximizing the professional's body potential.

The fierce wolf howl instantly arrived.

Its speed so swift that even the Blood Skin Shark Beast couldn't react.

The grey-black Straight Sword emitting sunset-orange fiery light had already transformed into a twisted red arc sweeping horizontally.

[Vortex Slash]+[Heavy Tide]!

The 25% residual fire damage bonus from [Embers Resonance], at this moment with the Second Stage activated, pushed to the "Purple Rare" quality under the boost of[Ash Fall] Straight Sword, unleashed to its fullest.

Where the scorching blade reached, thick fish skin and internal muscles, more fragile than tofu, were neatly sliced open.

Blood gushing, revealing the rippling entrails of the belly.
