The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 775

Perception habitually transforms into fine yet resilient probe scanning.

This scanning is even capable of largely ignoring material obstructions and 'seeing' the structure of things on walls or underground.

Therefore, it is difficult for both the organization and the infiltrators to avoid being discovered and tricked by Black Rob.

Sometimes Black Rob would play along and put on a show, but other times he wouldn't even bother to put on a show.

For example, right now, he is moving forward in the form of a quicksand whirlwind. The speed is not fast, just the efficiency of an adult walking normally. But wherever he goes, mechanisms are blocked, lurkers are killed, and the walls are worn to shreds. The scene is like a hurricane passing through.

They continued their journey, sweeping through most of the castle, until they finally reached the top platform.

Then, naturally, we start the Boss battle.

Black Robo has gained experience from his many battles. This boss isn't hiding at the bottom, but rather at the top. The large blank spaces are used to wear down the target, wear down its hard shell, and make it softer, easier to crush.

The view from the top platform is quite nice. The dome is tall enough, and the magical light, like clouds, gathers on the ceiling, creating an effect like rays of colorful light shining through gaps in the ever-changing dark clouds, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to the platform while maintaining its somber tone.

Boss is just average, at least in Black Rob's eyes, he has no highlights and is just a poorly made Frankenstein's monster.

With the appearance of a werewolf and the core of a vampire, such a dark creature is like a clumsy doodle showing off in front of an artist.

This body is now a specialist in earth element. If I were still using my original body to travel around, I could easily put it away with a wave of my hand.

Actually, this boss looks quite intimidating. Even with his legs not straight and his back hunched, he is over four meters tall. Looking at his bulging muscles and powerful appearance, his weight must be like that of a heavy draft horse, measured in tons.

Just by poking it, you can tell its health bar won't be low.

Judging from the style of his equipment, the choice of his weapons, and the magical characteristics that both exude, he is actually an agility-type character.

Add to that the surging, overflowing dark power, and the unique, flowing crimson light of blood magic, and it's enough to make one's imagination run wild.

However, Blackrobo is far superior to it in terms of knowledge and technical information, so it won't have any wild thoughts.

Therefore, its sudden throwing attack didn't even make Black Robb blink.

If it weren't for the fact that these two enormous, oddly shaped daggers were bound by an extremely special blood soul, allowing them to be remotely swapped through extraordinary means, the vampire werewolf would have been disarmed on the spot by this first bloody axe throw.

Even though they managed to retrieve it, Black Robo took the opportunity to siphon off a huge amount of his life energy.

He was extremely knowledgeable about the application and weaknesses of blood magic. He even used the technique of condensing sand into a urn, drawing inspiration from the strong interaction, one of the four great forces, to create a secret stone egg with supernatural power.

A heavy, basketball-sized stone pebble with a glassy surface fell into Lota's large, bony hand. With a flick of his wrist, the pebble vanished completely.

Now, the vampire werewolf was completely unable to sense that ball of blood energy.

You must understand that there is a part of its soul inside. If this method is like cutting off its soul, it will break through its defenses in an instant.

With a whoosh, the vampire werewolf's enormous form vanished from the top of the water as if it had suddenly disappeared into the water, leaving only the liquid crimson energy beneath its feet rippling slightly.

The next second, this liquid energy, shallower than the water in the puddle, appeared beneath Black Robb's feet. Immediately afterward, the vampire werewolf leaped upward, simultaneously unleashing a pair of large daggers that drew sharp, glowing X-shaped blood-red blades.

The blood-stained blade appeared to have cleaved Black Rob into several pieces, but these body parts turned into sand as they fell to the ground.

Black Robb, on the other hand, appeared in a sudden upward surge of sand on another part of the platform.

The floor of this platform is indeed quite elaborate, featuring a special magic circle and perforations throughout the entire area resembling the veins of a leaf.

However, the main material is still earth and stone.

Therefore, in this kind of environment, Lota's earth elemental affinity is just as effective as that of the vampire werewolf.

Conversely, when the vampire werewolf faced off against Black Robo, it proved time and again that his methods were ineffective.

Of course, if that's all there is to it, then the vampire werewolf can still fight Black Robo to a standstill, and who knows, with a bit of luck, he might even manage to outmaneuver Black Robo once or twice.

Unfortunately, Black Robb understood the power of blood all too well.

Just like now, the vampire werewolf soon discovered that the liquid blood energy flowing under its feet was being dispersed and absorbed by the sand like water from a sponge.

This means it's been cracked.

Its blood energy serves it and is highly controllable, not some ordinary energy spill. If its form couldn't be controlled, it simply couldn't afford such a consumption method.

So even though it knew that this move 'Hidden Blood Thrust' wouldn't do anything to Black Robo, it still used it immediately, not only to gamble on whether Black Robo could use special movement skills in succession like it could, but also to try to avoid the sand that Black Robo was carrying when it came.

It wondered if it could avoid the sand, or if it could spread out the sand Black Robo was carrying, would Black Robo be unable to drain its blood energy as it was now?

Unfortunately, it soon turned out that it was overthinking things.

It is indeed costly for Black Rob to manipulate ordinary sand into something as easily as his own arm, or even to acquire some of the medium and tool effects of magical artifacts.

However, this kind of consumption is far inferior to the blood energy generation of vampire werewolves, both in terms of energy consumption and convenience.

To put it more vividly, Black Rob's use of sand is like using a professional tool to temporarily magnetize the tip of a screwdriver—it looks easy, and in reality, it's not difficult at all. On the other hand, the blood energy of a vampire werewolf is like brewing a special alchemical potion. Not to mention generating it during wartime, even if all the materials are ready, no one is disturbing you, and you are focused on brewing it, there is still a high risk of failure and the result will not meet the standards.

Therefore, in terms of resource consumption, the vampire werewolf is simply not a viable option.

Of course, if Black Rob doesn't know the trick and focuses on harming the werewolf's body, then the werewolf can borrow Captain America's famous quote: "I could fight like this all day!"

But Black Robo hit the nail on the head, and every time he did it effectively. The vampire werewolf couldn't hold on any longer. In just three attacks, it lost a third of its total health, averaging more than 10% of the total damage each time! Its proud tankiness was no match for this kind of loss!

So it simply constricts the blood energy and circulates it internally. Now it won't be so easy to extract it, right?
Indeed, it's much more difficult now.

However, this also makes the vampire werewolf itself mediocre, with its basic attacks like slashing, leaping down with dual blades, and stomping...

In just a few exchanges, Black Robb demonstrated the werewolf's melee combat skills.

It was fast, but not fast enough to overwhelm Black Rob; it was only at the average level of a titled magic assassin.

Of course, its strength far surpasses that of an assassin. Black Rob assessed its ferocity, feeling that a main battle tank in front of it was as fragile as paper, easily pierced and torn apart, easily ripped apart in a few moves.

But that alone wasn't enough to pose a significant threat to him. He wasn't going to gamble on missing all of the opponent's attacks. He wasn't a novice; he knew very well that situations in battle could change in an instant. Given the vampire werewolf's attack power and Lota's basic defense, a direct hit would be fatal, a mere scratch would be enough, and if he couldn't dodge, he would suffer a huge loss and be in a deadly crisis.

Therefore, he chose elemental ascension. From the perspective of close combat, this is actually a moderate choice, with no absolute strengths or weaknesses.

So, Lota the Grey Orc was like an olive pit coated with grease, hard yet slippery. The vampire werewolf could hit Lota from time to time, but he could never land a solid hit; he always just grazed the edge! This made the vampire werewolf both anxious and annoyed, but the more he did this, the less efficient he became, and even getting a grazed edge became increasingly difficult.

Compared to the vampire werewolf, Lota's skill was terrifyingly consistent; she could almost always land a hit on the vampire werewolf with her attacks.

The weapon he used was still a spear based on a staff, but instead of a dragon-headed spear, it was a crystal spear.

This crystal spear is like a sleeve with interchangeable tool heads; it has a thick, long handle and a thin head. This thin head is specifically generated by the gathering of earth elemental energy at the tip of the staff.

Like bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain, it grew out of the ground.

In terms of overall proportions, it appears slender and short, yet it is translucent and luminous, and it is also triangular, giving it a sharp look.

Such a spearhead has an excellent armor-piercing effect. Even though the vampire werewolf's fur is tough and hard, with excellent cushioning and force-dissipating properties, and its muscles are like tires, this spearhead can still break through it.

And the moment its skin and flesh are broken, it will detach and wriggle inward.

The vampire werewolf has excellent control over its muscles. It doesn't take long for it to overcome the drilling force, and then it uses its muscles to squeeze the object out of its body. This action doesn't even significantly affect the vampire werewolf's normal movements.

However, the stinger head used by Black Robb was not just for creating wounds; it was primarily for sucking the blood energy from the werewolf's body.

In fact, it could be said that if it has not been fully saturated with blood, it is very difficult for it to fall off by muscle compression. It would have to be removed surgically, like dealing with a barbed arrowhead, by making an open incision and digging it out.

The vampire werewolves soon discovered the wickedness of this gun tip.

Even if it has a strong constitution and a high health bar, it can't withstand the endless sucking of leeches!

However, it had no reliable way to deal with this kind of attack. It had even become obsessed, always feeling that the next strike might unleash its full power on the opponent, not only breaking through the opponent's defenses but also recovering all the damage it had suffered.

However, as time went on, it proved to be wishful thinking. Its strength was insufficient to break through Black Robo's seemingly mediocre but actually double-insurance defense scheme of evasion and force deflection.

Before anyone knew it, the vampire werewolf's health dropped below 30%, entering the second phase.

"Wow! There's such depth! Boss level!" Black Rob could talk so casually because in the second phase of the vampire werewolf, he could still technically overpower his opponent, and even have an advantage.

Because these two stages involve the true separation of flesh and blood, werewolves play with skin, flesh, and bones, while vampires play with blood forms, which can be simply put as humanoid blood plus blood energy.

However, because Black Rob had been using a root-cutting attack method, he had drained a lot of blood energy, which made the vampire werewolf so weak. Therefore, his blood appearance was miserable, as if most of his flesh had been eaten away, leaving only a few remnants hanging on his skeleton.

If the blood energy is not lost, even if weakened, the second-stage vampire werewolf can quickly recover to its peak state through a burst of power. Its blood form can use blood magic, while its skin, flesh, and bones become more frenzied and valiant than usual, fierce and powerful. The combination of the two is a model of mixed doubles.

But now, with the blood form incomplete, forget about using blood magic. You can only barely manage a melee with the skin, flesh, and bones.

Black Rob showed no fear of Blood Mode, but instead of using the opportunity to counterattack the vampire werewolf, he used it to counterattack Blood Mode.

The specific method is still to mix sand, but this time it's more sophisticated and energy-intensive.

Sand treated with Black Robor shines with a golden luster, like gold dust. Only sand with such power can break through the tough defenses of blood-like material.

It's easy to estimate exactly how tough it is; it's roughly equivalent to an enhanced version of the slime that Black Robb encountered underground in Rolling Stone City.

However, considering the sand this time, which has been heavily 'added', the blood form is actually much more defensive than the slime.

This is understandable, since the original blood of vampires is constantly refined and fused with the soul. It is a product of the combination of psychic energy, supernatural power, and special substances, making it an alloy of the supernatural world.

The gold dust created by Black Robb only managed to break through its defenses and penetrate deep inside, but it didn't last long before it exhausted its supernatural power and was expelled.

But Black Robb knew perfectly well that his tactical analysis was flawless. Having achieved this, a glorious victory was just one step away, and it wouldn't be long before it arrived.

The principle is that the gold sand is only expelled after the supernatural power is consumed. In terms of blood, this situation is like a person being hit in the back by lead shot from a shotgun. It is very difficult to deal with it on your own, but you can't leave it untreated. Not to mention the bleeding, the toxicity of the lead shot alone is not something to be hesitated about.

Before long, new wounds appeared before the old ones were healed, and the blood was becoming increasingly weak. In the end, even if the outcome wasn't as tragic as being mixed into a cake of sand, it wasn't much better.

As for the werewolf's flesh and bone shell, the vampire's soul is fused with the original blood. In other words, at this moment, the flesh and bone shell is a puppet controlled from the outside by the blood form.

However, in order for the puppet to be more agile and able to respond to commands in a timely manner, some of the original blood was still left in the skin, flesh and bones.

In this context, the second-stage vampire werewolf skin, flesh, and bones can overpower all opponents with sheer force, using its brief berserk state to mask its slow reaction time with ferocity and fearlessness.

However, this weakness becomes a fatal flaw when exposed to Black Robo.

Although Black Robb did not take advantage of the situation to attack Skinflint in order to achieve a greater victory, he also completely eliminated Skinflint's ability to threaten him. With just a few tricks, he turned Skinflint into a mentally challenged person whose exact location was difficult to pinpoint.

This brings us to the vampire's weakness. In its blood form, it only has perception, perhaps with the addition of touch mediated by blood, but lacks the other four senses.

In this context, concealing or creating illusions becomes much easier, requiring only the targeting of touch and perception.

Touch is easily faked; Black Robo can manipulate the sand at will, making others feel exactly like they're touching a real person.

In terms of perception, Black Rob also has the advantage of divine soul.

It can be said that the blood form is completely dominated.

Since the Blood Form couldn't accurately locate Black Robo, it couldn't control the flesh and bones to react correctly. As a result, it was naturally under Black Robo's control and lost its actual threat.

The Blood Form's transformation into a burst of power actually accelerated death, so he changed his approach and wanted to reunite.

But how could Black Rob give up such a good opportunity? He worked hard to temporarily create dense shields with strong interactions, blocking the possibility of blood forms penetrating his skin, flesh, and bones time and time again.

Here's another restrained detail: the blood form no longer dares to transform into countless forms, and then returns to the skin, flesh, and bones like rivers flowing into the sea.

Because it did that, it essentially cut itself into countless tiny pieces, allowing Black Robb to control a large amount of sand to actively divide and surround it, which meant it was wiped out in an instant.

Only by acting as a whole can there be a slim chance.

Of course, in the end, all hope was dashed...
