"Roar--"
Salon roared in extreme discomfort, and the black soil and gravel beneath him suddenly floated up under his control, shooting out after only a brief moment of charging.
"Mirror emission".
Dark gave the order with remarkable composure.
Compared to the high-stakes magic duels where every second counts, this battle pace isn't particularly fast.
Even with concerns about his own safety, he was able to respond promptly.
"Ee-boo!"
The eyes of "Gladiator" suddenly lit up, and ice elements rapidly gathered, forming a huge ice mirror around it.
Ultimate move – "Mirror Reflection"!
Countless grains of sand bombarded the ice mirror, and the black dust almost completely engulfed Dark and Glaceon's figures.
Saloon suddenly tilted its head back and let out an excited roar. With a leap, it rushed into the sandstorm, its huge mouth snapping at the "Magical Beast: Ice Eevee" that was buried in the sandstorm.
"call--"
The wind reversed in that instant.
The sandstorm changed direction, and after an abrupt pause, the sand and gravel suddenly shot backward.
A whistling sound swept in, and countless amounts of ground elements churned and surged into the sand and dust.
"mum!"
"Gladiator" let out a clear cry.
Two seconds after the massive body of the sand dune plunged into the dust, it was suddenly launched out.
The sandstorm, twice as powerful, pierced through its thick scales layer by layer, while hailstones falling from the sky continuously stripped it of its vitality.
"It's time, Frozen Beam."
Dark Dimon's voice broke through the dust.
A thick, icy blue beam of light pierced through the swirling dust and struck the flying sand dragon with pinpoint accuracy.
In "Hail", the power of ice-type special moves is increased by 50%, and the freezing probability of "Frozen Beam" is doubled.
The Sands is doubly countered by Ice-type attacks, making Ice-type special moves particularly effective against it.
Without any suspense, the surface of its body, which was hit by the "freezing beam," instantly froze. The ice spread rapidly, covering its entire body and penetrating its interior in the blink of an eye.
The enormous, terrifying salon was frozen into an ice sculpture amidst the hail and black sand.
The night was as still as water, and the light shone on it, reflecting magnificent colors.
……
Upon seeing this, Daniel and the others' expressions instantly tightened.
The salon they were trying to avoid was resolved so easily.
Marilyn became even more nervous, and she was incredibly relieved that she hadn't lied.
Although revealing her identity as a member of the Black Sands Chamber of Commerce would be detrimental to her, in that instant, she instinctively felt that lying in front of these people would lead to even more dire consequences.
"If even the students are this powerful, how terrifying must the accompanying teachers be?"
Marilyn's mind raced.
After calming down, she suddenly realized that this might be her only chance in her life.
If we could get in touch with these people...
She didn't turn to look at the people around the campfire, but instead quickly searched her mind for the people who were easiest to target.
"Elves, fairies, nobles, maids..."
Then, with remarkable keen insight, she discovered the biggest, and only, flaw in that group of people.
"That boy with black hair and wearing a green hat!"
……
The wind was howling, and the cold was biting.
But Dak did not return.
With his back to the crowd, golden light shone in his eyes. The vision of the "Eye of Truth" pierced through the darkness and revealed the truth.
After a brief period of calm, the ground began to shake violently.
Black dust billowed up wildly from the horizon.
"Were you drawn here by the battle here?"
Dak raised his hand and pulled on the hat that Layalvette had knitted by hand, a rare smile appearing on his lips.
"If it's the Black Soil Plain, then it's the 'Scorpion of the Black Soil,' right?"
If the Sands is the overlord of the Black Soil Plain, then the Black Soil Scorpion is the most terrifying nightmare.
When the black scorpion passes through, no remains are left.
"Gladiator, are you ready?"
"Ee-boo!"
"Very well, then let the blizzard rage on!"
"Ee-boo!"
"Gladiator" suddenly raised its head, and a strong ice-blue light emanated from its small body.
The temperature around them plummeted again, and the ground was covered with layers of ice.
Dark clouds rolled in the night, and swirling snowflakes, accompanied by howling winds and hail, swept down.
When the black sandstorm approached within a hundred meters, the blizzard roared.
The Black Earth Scorpion emitted an earthy yellow glow, but it was extinguished by the blizzard in the blink of an eye.
During this "hail" weather, the power of the "blizzard" increases by 50%, the freezing probability doubles, and the duration is extended until the "hail" weather ends, releasing a new "blizzard" every thirty seconds.
The Black Earth Scorpion's scorpion swarm attack was meaningless in the face of the sky full of ice crystals and snowflakes.
No matter how many Black Earth Scorpions rushed into this forbidden area, they were all killed equally.
In the blink of an eye, the corpses of the Black Earth Scorpion had piled up into a sea and frozen into mountains, and the Black Earth Plain seemed to have been raised by a foot!
……
Chapter 759 The Variables of Human Hearts (4k)
The dark clouds dispersed, the wind and snow melted, leaving only a chill in the air.
Looking out, the black tide was frozen solid, and the land was covered in ice for thousands of miles.
The "Blizzard" was unleashed at full power, covering an area far beyond the duel arena, leaving no creature in sight.
On the edge that the "blizzard" could not reach, the ignorant and fearless Black Earth Scorpions, after a brief pause, all burrowed into the ground and vanished without a trace in an instant.
Dark paused for a moment, the golden light in his eyes fading, confirming that no more magical beasts were hiding.
Only then did he pick up "Gladiator" around the waist, turn around and walk back to the campfire.
As he walked past, some adventurers couldn't help but lower their heads, their limbs trembling, already filled with fear.
Only those who have experienced the pursuit of the Black Earth Scorpion can truly understand how terrifying the seemingly endless sea of scorpions is.
But even such a terrifying thing was casually buried by the boy's magical spirit with ice and snow.
At this moment, the adventurers clearly understood that the group of academy teachers and students before them indeed possessed the ability to easily crush them. Therefore, their previous relaxation vanished, and they became extremely reserved.
As for Marilyn and the others' identities within the Black Sands Merchant Guild, they were no longer a consideration for them.
The Black Sand Merchant Guild is notorious for not only frequently smuggling contraband, but also for its ruthless and insidious actions, and there are even rumors that it has harmed all the adventurers it hired.
But no matter how ruthless the members of this chamber of commerce are, they cannot stir up any trouble under the crushing power of absolute strength.
Daniel and the others' earlier gesture of drawing their swords was more of a defensive maneuver. They naturally didn't want to engage in conflict if they could avoid it.
After all, for adventurers, getting injured or killed in this situation is not worthwhile.
Adventurers don't have any sentiments; all they have is survival.
……
After Dark sat back down by the campfire, he noticed that Congreve of "Unfallen Fortress" had suddenly become reserved, and Monica and Daniel were no longer as natural as before. On the other hand, Marilyn of the Black Sand Merchant Guild seemed to be letting loose, and she clearly tried to talk to Victor, which immediately caught Ophelia's eye!
"Could this be the legendary 'encounter with a beautiful woman'? But isn't Marilyn almost twice the age of Victor? Is she a little horse pulling a big cart?"
Dark found it amusing and suppressed a laugh.
Then he suddenly noticed that the "Goddess of the Mind" was looking at him, and his expression immediately became serious as he composed himself.
A slight smile curved the corners of the "Goddess of the Heart's Eyes".
Outside the camp, the black scorpion carcasses emitted a dark green toxic gas after the snow melted. However, before it could spread, it was blown away by the cold wind, and sand and dust slowly swirled up, engulfing it.
The two adventurers returned to the camp and handed over several materials they had dismantled from Sharon's body to Dark.
Dark only glanced at them before realizing that these materials were vastly different from those produced in the Academy's dungeon.
When monsters in the academy's dungeon die, their residual magic power is concentrated in some of their limbs and organs, making the remaining materials rich in magic power and of extremely high quality.
The magical beasts outside, once dead, are simply dead; the magical energy remaining in their limbs will gradually dissipate with their death. If they are not dismantled and preserved in time, their quality will rapidly decline.
Take that salon with six-star power, for example. The quality of the materials it left behind is probably only about the same as the materials dropped by four-star monsters in the Academy Dungeon.
That's a difference of two ranks.
Of course, it's not that the materials in the salon are of poor quality, but rather that the monster materials in the Academy Dungeon are of very high quality.
However, monsters outside also have their advantages. Many parts of their bodies can be used as materials, unlike monsters that only leave behind one or two materials when they die.
For a monster as large as a sand monster, the amount of materials required is naturally exceptionally high.
After much deliberation, Dak kept only a dragon crystal and a dragon bone.
Dragon crystals are formed from the magical power of dragons. If one can accumulate, compress, and purify them over time, there is a chance to condense a dragon ball.
In short, it's like the rough draft of the Dragon Balls.
As for that dragon bone... it's actually more like a bone spur. If it can be properly sharpened, it might be able to be turned into a dagger.
When they arrived in the City of Freedom, Dak planned to give it to Meow Meow as a toy.
After all, he stole a lot of good stuff from Meow Meow's treasure trove, so his conscience must be bothering him.
……
As night deepened, the stars and moon hung high in the sky.
Professor Sylph had hoped the adventurers would share more adventure-related stories. But perhaps due to Dark's intimidation, the group struggled to utter a single word around the campfire, eventually leaving only Marilyn's incessant chatter, which annoyed her.
So after dinner, she left the campfire for the adventurers and invited them into the tent.
"go."
Professor Sylph flicked her finger and casually set up a barrier to block the sound from spreading.
Dark gave the "Goddess of the Mind" a wink, and the latter immediately sat down and began to analyze the psychological changes of the adventurers.
By analyzing the psychological changes of adventurers, we can gain a deeper and more thorough understanding of this group.
Professor Sylph is preparing to use the mind-reading ability of the "Goddess of the Mind's Eye" to give a lesson to the three students present.
Then, as she was attending class, she realized that only one of the three needed to attend...
But that's how it is when you're a teacher; even if only one person in the class doesn't understand, you still have to keep explaining.
Professor Sylph was also quite helpless.
……
"So, Mary's real name is Marilyn, and she's trying to get close to us by ingratiating herself with Victor?" Ophelia frowned, her tone unfriendly.
Witt opened his mouth, and after a long pause, said, "Why me?"
