Chapter 339: Rift Slash of the Ice Witch
He knows me, he, could he be that legendary existence... Little Crow stared in shock at the bloody back of the monster before her, not daring to speak.
Under the moonlight's illumination, Chen Qi gritted his teeth against the pain in his back and raised the Blade affinity card in his hand, examining it carefully.
At the center of the card, countless fresh blade marks could be seen intersecting and converging, as if trying to slice the entire space into nothingness.
This was a legendary Blade Release card... Chen Qi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel pleased.
His current panel could continue growing thanks to the Lamp Sea potion, but his skills still had many imperfections.
Although he currently possessed Shadow Release 'Abyssal Hand', his Shadow affinity comprehension wasn't high. Essentially, he was relying on his own legendary powerful talent and spiritual force to forcibly unleash the Release.
He lacked a proper system, it wasn't sufficiently perfected, and it didn't match his high-tier fourth-tier Blade and Lamp affinity comprehension.
Hopefully this Blade Release would be powerful enough... Chen Qi rubbed the card in his hand.
A prompt appeared.
[Rift Slash Lv1 (Max Lv3)Affinity: Ice, Blade
Description: The world isn't complete but filled with rifts everywhere, and our blades cut open wounds, slicing through this world's rifts.
Learning Requirements: Requires high Ice or Blade affinity comprehension, requires high-tier qi force technique, requires legendary spiritual core, requires sufficient 'slashing' experience, requires mastery of 'World Rift Theory', requires mastery of 'Witch Sea's Deep Sea World Theory'.
Upgrade Conditions: Requires 30,000 inspiration points. (Upgrading to lv3 requires 100,000 inspiration points and high-tier Ice affinity comprehension plus mid-tier Blade affinity comprehension; or high-tier Blade affinity comprehension plus mid-tier Ice affinity comprehension.)
Effect: Cuts open the world's rifts, allowing the deep sea world's cold to descend upon this world, creating a brief 'frozen' space. Within this space, enemies will be unable to move, unable to act, even their thoughts and time itself will stagnate.
During this brief frozen time, you will be able to move freely temporarily, unleashing hundreds or thousands of blade slashes, dealing devastating damage to enemies!
Note: Within the frozen space, your slash intensity depends on your mastery of 'Blade affinity energy' and your qi force level. Your 'movement ability' during frozen time depends on your mastery of "Ice affinity energy" and your rationality.
Note: Studying this skill will enhance your agility and strength.
Note: Studying this skill will expose you to an extremely cold, boundless deep sea world, with high probability of contracting 'Deep Sea Burning Disease'.]
Rift Slash... Chen Qi rubbed the card in his hand, a piercing cold wind stinging his fingers.
He met most of this technique's learning requirements. The only shortcomings were 'Rift Theory knowledge' and 'Deep Sea World Theory'.
This kind of reproducible knowledge should be purchasable from the mimic chest Jin Li. If not, he could go to the Book Tower in White Tower Sea. As long as he had money, most books in the world could be bought at the Book Tower.
Chen Qi analyzed that this skill's content was somewhat complex, but simply put, Rift Slash's ability was to slash open spatial rifts, then create a frozen space that could immobilize enemies, then within this space, deal thousands of devastating blade strikes to enemies!
Could this be the legendary spatial slash! Chen Qi's eyes couldn't help but grow brighter.
As a legendary Release, it was undoubtedly extremely powerful, and the rationality, Blade affinity power, and qi force required for its power all matched his current path.
This skill required Blade and Ice affinities. Thanks to the Deep Sea Hunters' treasure 'Sword of the Lake', he also possessed a small amount of Ice affinity.
Currently, his affinity comprehension from highest to lowest was: Lamp, Blade, Shadow, Scale, Goblet, Floral, Ice.
Additionally, studying this skill itself would cause him to contract the serious 'Deep Sea Disease'. He didn't know what this disease's specific effects were? Could it enhance 'Rift Slash's' power, or bring other additional effects?
Chen Qi rubbed the card and curiously asked:
"Where does this card come from? What is Deep Sea Burning Disease?"
The moment the words fell, the Blood Demon Doctor answered quickly before Little Crow could:
"This card comes from the Ice Witch's ruins. As for Deep Sea Disease..."
Deep sea enthusiast, theoretically knowledgeable doctor Little Crow said coldly:
"Deep Sea Diseases come in many varieties, but if it involves Releases, it should be a mutation disease from excessive contact with deep sea rifts. It's said that those who contract this disease grow tentacles on their bodies, their entire bodies ignite with blue flames, their five senses gradually disappear, leaving only perception ability relying on seawater.
Simultaneously, they cannot leave the deep sea. Ultimately, they become wandering spirits on the sea, attacking high-speed ships at night..."
Spontaneous combustion, can only survive in the sea, why does this feel somewhat familiar? Chen Qi rubbed his chin.
Little Crow didn't withhold the information she possessed, speaking softly:
"This comes from navy experimental reports. Currently, the Azure Beast wandering the seas is highly likely also a Deep Sea Burning Disease patient. It's said that those who contract this disease have their spiritual cores become stronger, their perception also enhances. In their perception, everything slows down, entering a completely new state..."
Azure Beast, so that's it. I wonder how it would combine with my Monster's Desire... Chen Qi fell into contemplation.
Just who is this guy? Little Crow quietly shifted her steps, looking at Chen Qi's back.
On his back, spider-like blue patterns could be seen...
This back, it can't be! Little Crow's pupils suddenly contracted, a bold speculation forming in her mind.
Chen Qi raised the other item Little Crow gave him, the Banshee Potion.
Inside the glass tube, pitch-black liquid twisted like a wailing banshee's face, continuously emitting infant-like cries.
This thing... Chen Qi's brows slightly furrowed. Like Great Whale blood, this belonged to the extremely high-risk potion category. Even with Monster's Desire, he absolutely couldn't digest it.
It required high Shadow affinity comprehension and also extremely high talent. Moreover, it wasn't recommended for males to use 'Banshee' potion.
Little Crow, as a 'medicated' experimental subject, barely met this potion's usage conditions.
Simply put, this was a 'human-shaped natural disaster' that guaranteed death upon use but could instantly create Shadow affinity!
Chen Qi vaguely remembered that Little Crow relied on this 'self-destruct potion' to hold a position in the Blackfin Crew.
Ultimately, she also relied on this Banshee Potion to resist the Blackfin Crew's attack on Moonstone City, dying amid wailing sounds.
Although using it guaranteed death, it was quite a useful deterrent.
Leave it to Little Crow... Chen Qi tossed the Banshee Potion to Little Crow, saying:
"Don't try to use it, but just for deterrence, it's quite a good prop."
Just for deterrence... Little Crow blinked, muttering:
"Just who are you?"
Do you know each other? Fen curiously approached, also very curious about Chen Qi's true identity.
"You guess?"
Chen Qi began organizing the items on site, preparing to withdraw.
Little Crow rubbed her chin, blinked her big eyes, and using the faint moonlight, looked at Chen Qi's back:
"Could you be that legendary Azure Beast..."
Legend said the Azure Beast also contracted Sea Beast Disease, with its strong back growing azure blue tentacle stripes!
The moment the words fell! Little Crow instantly felt a gaze that pierced through her soul.
Wrong guess... Little Crow said with a bitter smile:
"Could you be my chef friend? Impossible, impossible."
Congratulations, you guessed right! Chen Qi made a 'shh' gesture, signaling her to keep quiet.
"Ah?"
The cautious Little Crow couldn't help but let out a scream.
Her mind involuntarily conjured an image of a peace-loving, kind and gentle, pitiful little chef drifting in storms for survival, needing her protection.
Then she looked at the Chen Qi before her again.
Wearing a blood-stained hunter's clothes from the previous century, blood-red tentacles growing on his back, just moments ago wildly beating her superior Trueblood with a pitch-black arm!
"Ah?"
After Little Crow calmed down, she couldn't help but let out another crow-like cry.
