Chapter 849 Unexpected Attacker

Pearl Sea, an unnamed deserted island

An extremely fierce attack came without warning.

The attack contained terrifying power; wherever it passed, the air was violently compressed, emitting a sharp, piercing whistling sound, as if it were a wail from hell.

The moment Li Si sensed the danger, his expression changed drastically.

The person, struck by this extremely fierce blow, was slammed down from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

His body sliced ​​through the air as he plummeted at high speed, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

Li Si, without any resistance, crashed heavily onto the deserted island below.

Rumble!
This deserted island simply couldn't withstand the impact of Li Si's terrifying power.

The ground began to shake violently, as if a super earthquake had occurred, and huge cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain on the deserted island began to collapse, with boulders rolling down and raising clouds of dust.

Trees were uprooted and flew wildly in the gale.

In just a few moments, the once relatively intact deserted island crumbled into countless rubble and debris.

The aftershocks of that attack did not stop there.

It swept across the surrounding sea like an invisible storm.

The sea instantly boiled, and towering waves surged from the once calm surface.

The tsunami surged forward with overwhelming force, swallowing everything in its path.

The aftershocks from this legendary attack were so powerful that they almost completely destroyed the island.

The players who were fighting on the island had no chance to resist the terrifying shockwave and were directly killed.

The shockwave, like an invisible blade, instantly pierced through the players' bodies.

Blood stained the ground, intertwining with the shattered islands and the surging tsunami, creating a tragic and magnificent scene.

The entire world seemed to be shaken by this terrifying attack, falling into a brief silence.

Only the rolling waves and swirling dust continue to tell the story of the terrifying disaster that had just occurred.

The mysterious figure launched its attack swiftly without the slightest hesitation or pause.

He suddenly waved both hands, his movements swift and decisive, as if carrying an irresistible authority.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying black power, like a surging tide, swept wildly out from his body and quickly spread across the entire sky.

Wherever that power passed, the air seemed to freeze, carrying a chilling sense of oppression.

The sky was originally clear and sunny, with the sun shining down without reservation, illuminating the earth and giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

However, in that instant, the sky seemed to be violently crumpled by an invisible giant hand.

The original azure color was quickly swallowed up by thick, dark clouds, turning it into an extremely gloomy scene.

The somber atmosphere was like the oppressive scene before an impending storm, causing a strong sense of unease to well up in one's heart.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of black and red lightning, like ferocious giant pythons, suddenly fell from the rolling dark clouds.

These black and red lightning bolts flickered with an eerie light, as if they were the manifestation of extreme evil in the world.

They ripped through the gloomy sky with an aura of utter destruction, emitting a deafening roar.

Each flash of lightning felt like the world was trembling in agony.

The entire scene was like the end of the world was about to happen, sending chills down one's spine.

It was as if I were in an abyss of despair and terror, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

A moment later, Li Si suddenly flew up from the ruins of the shattered island.

However, his condition at this moment appeared to be extremely poor.

The silver-white robe that once symbolized glory was now mostly tattered, the torn pieces of cloth swaying in the wind, revealing the shocking wound on his back.

The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and the flesh on his back was completely torn apart, even revealing the broken ribs inside, as if it had been violently ripped apart by some enormous force.

The flesh at the wound was constantly writhing, seemingly trying to heal the terrible rift.

But each attempt was ruthlessly thwarted by a lingering black force remaining at the wound site.

The black power, as if alive, roamed freely over the wound, gradually condensing into a hideous and intricate pattern.

The patterns seemed to have a life of their own, constantly flashing with a cold, eerie light, exuding a chilling, malevolent aura.

This is the hunting mark left by Mara, the god of the hunt.

Once this deity, known for its cruelty and ruthlessness, imprints this mark on a living being, it means that the being is regarded as prey.

No matter where they flee to, they cannot escape the fate of being hunted and killed.

However, the strength of this hunting mark should not originate from the god Mara, but from his followers.

However, this is also a huge problem for Li Si!

Having fought against incarnations of gods, demigods, and legends many times, Li Si could clearly sense the strength of the attackers.

The attackers undoubtedly possessed the power of a demigod.

Otherwise, Li Si wouldn't have been injured directly.

However, although the wound looked gruesome, it was not too serious for Li Si.

Li Si had always had the habit of maintaining a constant shield for protection.

Upon noticing the attackers, he quickly cast several layers of magical shields on himself.

Although the enemy's attack was terrifying, it was not fatal to Li Si.

However, he was quite suspicious of the attackers' identities.

Although he did not use any special detection spells, his mental strength was enough for him to detect the enemy's attacks.

To be able to evade his detection and directly break through his defenses, Li Si believed that their strength had surpassed that of a legendary figure.

However, now that I think about it, it seems that there is still a certain gap between him and a true demigod.

His soul strength had already reached the demigod realm, so he had a clearer understanding of this aspect.

And hunting marks?

In Li Si's memory, the Church of the God of Hunting should not have any demigod-level powerhouses, right?

However, the attackers inexplicably gave Li Si a somewhat familiar feeling.

Li Si treated his physical injuries as best he could, and then observed the enemy who had attacked him.

He has tried using spatial magic and teleportation paths, but without success.

Without a doubt, it must be the restrictions imposed on this space by the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Si felt somewhat helpless.

Although the strength of this seal is not as great as the artifact [Pastrum's Stomach], it is not something Li Si can break through in a short time.

Given how they've targeted him, Li Si wouldn't believe they weren't there specifically to ambush him.

As Li Si's fame grew, his enemies also gained a deeper understanding of him.

This kind of specific restriction became increasingly common for Li Si to command me.

Just as Li Si was fully focused on observing the other party's every move, a figure suddenly flashed across the sky like lightning.

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if time itself was compressed in that instant.

The figure appeared before Li in an instant, like a ghost. The shape of the person's hands was extremely peculiar, resembling two sharp and powerful dragon claws, carrying a fierce aura as they swiftly and fiercely grabbed at Li.

That fierce attack seemed to tear the air apart, sending chills down one's spine.

Li Si sensed the approaching danger, and the magic power within his body surged like a raging tide.

He quickly cast a spell, and in an instant, several magical shields appeared in front of him, protecting him tightly.

These shields emitted a mysterious and soft light, as if they were the strongest line of defense against enemies.

However, just like before, the enemy's attack was too powerful.

The dragon-claw-like hand easily pierced through the magic shield.

The moment the magic shield shattered, light scattered everywhere, and Li Si swayed slightly from the impact.

However, Li Si, who was prepared, was not injured again. He simply retreated slightly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Si noticed the other person's appearance.

The man had a cold and stern face, and his eyes revealed a fierce look.

Her disheveled hair fluttered in the wind, and she exuded a chilling aura, as if she were a demon who had walked out of hell, inspiring fear in anyone who looked at her.

Li Si could tell that the man should have been a handsome and distinguished man.

However, his current appearance is terrifyingly grotesque and twisted.

His body underwent bizarre and horrifying changes.

What first caught the eye were his hands; his originally slender, fair fingers were twisted and deformed into sharp and ferocious dragon claws.

The fingernails were as sharp as knives, as if a single flick could slice through anything.

The eyes that should have been bright now had eerie vertical pupils.

Like a cold-blooded animal, it exudes a chilling and ferocious aura, inspiring fear and making people afraid to look it in the eye.

His skin was now covered with fine scales that shimmered with a cold luster in the dim light, like a hard yet icy armor enveloping his entire body.

Even more frighteningly, his joints had twisted.

Every movement seemed so strange and distorted, as if a monster from another world was struggling to move its body.

Is this a phenomenon of dragon transformation?

It seemed that because of these changes, he was also being corrupted by an evil force, exuding a violent and insane aura.

Despite his completely changed appearance, he gave Li Si a sense of familiarity.

Li Si only needed a moment's thought to remember who this person was.

Rune, the son of the god of the hunt!

Li Si remembered this person very clearly!

After all, he had been ambushed and killed by this man who had joined forces with two legends before, but he managed to escape.

Of course, Li Si did not allow the other party to curry favor.

They quickly seized the opportunity to attack the small world controlled by Rune and took away the divine fragment that Rune possessed.

In comparison, Rune suffered a great loss.

Judging from the situation in that small world, Rune must have spent an immeasurable amount of effort in order to control that fragment of divine authority.

But in the end, it all benefited Li Si.

So, he came here to take revenge because he was angry with someone?

Looking at the almost unrecognizable Rune in front of him, Li Si made some guesses.

Rune is now much stronger than before.

Li Si was certain that Rune was now almost at the level of a demigod.

Or rather, a demigod at the step of a god?
Judging from his appearance, it seems that he obtained this power through some kind of evil ritual.

It must have come at a considerable cost.

It seems that even consciousness has been affected in some way.

However, his deep and extreme hatred for Li Si remained unchanged!

"Li Si, you deserve to die!"

"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you!!"

"Kill you, sacrifice you, and I can reclaim everything that is rightfully mine!!!"

Rune roared angrily as he launched a furious attack on Li Si.

Rune, like a ferocious beast that had been thoroughly enraged, launched a fierce attack on Li Si without hesitation.

He moved with such speed that it was like a lightning bolt slicing through the night sky, far exceeding Li Si's expectations.

Li Si only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, Rune's attack was already upon him.

At this moment, due to his dragon transformation, every attack from Rune carried terrifying power.

He swung his dragon claw with overwhelming force, as if to completely destroy everything in front of him.

That fierce attack was enough to shatter mountains and rivers and stop flowing.

Li Si tried his best to defend, but he seemed somewhat powerless under Rune's storm of attacks.

He could only keep dodging, trying to find an opening in Rune's attack.

However, Rune's attacks came like a tidal wave, one after another, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

In this fierce clash, the entire surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this powerful force, emitting a series of terrifying roars.

Li Si's expression was tense, and his body was filled with magical power.

He methodically cast various defensive and enhancement spells, with layers of pale golden shields stacked in front of him, and runes that strengthened his body shimmering with a ghostly light, making his movements even more agile and powerful.

At the same time, he skillfully wielded various weapons, his longsword drawing sharp arcs, his battle axe slashing down with a whooshing sound, doing his best to defend against Rune's storm-like attacks.

At this moment, Li Si had only one plan in mind.

Buy as much time as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

This is Pearl Sea, very close to Kane's Sky City.

Once the floating city arrives, there is nothing to fear.

The Rune before him had undoubtedly broken through to the demigod realm in terms of physical strength.

His tall and muscular body was like an unshakeable mountain, radiating a chilling and powerful pressure.

This pressure felt real and weighed heavily on Li Si, making him feel that even moving around was somewhat difficult.

Although Rune's mind was somewhat driven mad by the dragon transformation, he could still see through Li Si's plan.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he held nothing back any longer.

Unleashing all his power, he launched a ferocious attack on Li Si like a raging beast.

He must defeat and kill Li Si before Li Si's reinforcements arrive, otherwise, given Li Si's caution, he may never have such a good opportunity again.

This is his only chance!
He had already begun the hunting ritual ahead of time, and the final sacrifice of the ritual was Li Si.

If he fails, he himself will become Mara's sacrifice!
