Chapter 163: The Law
After a while, the wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed.
The noisy sea seemed to have become silent at this moment.
Heath stood on the deck and looked ahead.
The sea in front of them had returned to silence. The Whale Lice and Barnacles had all died on the surface of the sea, turning into charred corpses, piling up into a mountain that looked particularly spectacular.
What Heath had just used was actually a typical element of spells that countered each other.
In the Wizard World, many elements had the effect of restraining each other. For example, the water element had a certain bonus to the fire element, and the lightning element had the same effect on the water element.
The first circle spell, [G.o.d’s Punishment] alone, could not have been so powerful. However, it was on the surface of the sea. With the help of the conductive effect of the seawater, the energy of the spell had also been unleashed to the extreme, and because of that… It was able to deal such terrifying damage.
Looking at the piles of charred corpses on the surface of the sea, Heath suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if he had understood something.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if he had caught a glimpse of some knowledge and skills regarding the use of power in that moment, and the scene of the spell being released was naturally released back and forth in his mind.
Heath knew that he had most likely entered the legendary state of epiphany.
The path of Wizards was not a curve that would always rise slowly. In fact, there were many aspects that would often show a leap in growth. The use of spells was the most typical example.
After Wizards learned a lot of spell knowledge, sometimes they would suddenly realize something deep. It was something about power and laws.
Heath was ecstatic.
Once this kind of epiphany happened, the Wizard’s use of power and level of spells would always rise to a higher level.
However, this joy did not last long. He frowned again.
He did not have time.
The Whale Lice and Barnacles just now were just small fries. The real Catfish Whale had not been shaken in the slightest. Heath could not cause such a giant creature any harm.
The crisis had yet to be resolved, so there was no time for him to have an epiphany and think.
Heath’s brows were tightly knitted together.
Who cared about the consequences? Should he stay and have an epiphany first? After all, such an opportunity was definitely something that could only be encountered by chance. It was purely dependent on luck and chance. Heath was fully confident that as long as he was given some time, he would definitely be able to benefit a lot from it.
But the problem with the Catfish Whale…
“I guess I’ll just have to run for my life first!”
After thinking about it for a while, Heath decisively suppressed the greed in his heart. No matter how big the opportunity was, he had to have his small life. That was equivalent to an existence at the level of an advanced-level Wizard. Why would he stay for an epiphany when he could not even run for his life?
With this thought, Heath no longer hesitated. He started the Wizard s.h.i.+p and left.
However, although he was ready to let go of this opportunity, he was still reluctant to part with the magic in his heart. His mind kept replaying the scene when he cast the spell. He could not suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
Heath tried several times but could not stop these thoughts. He could only give up. These thoughts were naturally released in his mind.
At this moment, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind
What if he used extraction at this time?
When he was meditating, he could use the system’s extraction to extract additional elements. If he used extraction in this state where a large amount of knowledge was gathered, would it also…
Thinking of this, Heath decisively said in his heart, ‘Extract.’
It was as if he paused for a moment.
Following that, a clear notification sound came as promised.
[Beep, extraction successful. Elemental Law [Attributes Counter] +1]
As this voice sounded, a large amount of knowledge naturally surged into Heath’s mind. It was all related to the elemental attributes. It was something deeper in the power level of this world.
It really could be done!
Heath was ecstatic. He had thought that he could only give up on the opportunity, but he had never thought that it would return to his hands in such a way.
Splas.h.!.+
At this moment, the sound of intense water flow suddenly came from behind him.
It was unknown what the Catfish Whale was doing. It seemed to have stirred the sea surface, causing huge waves that were a hundred meters high to rise directly on the sea surface.
This change instantly pulled Heath’s head back to reality.
“Let’s get out of here first!”
He quickly suppressed the thoughts of unearthing the knowledge in his heart, and hurriedly controlled the Wizard s.h.i.+p to continue escaping. The knowledge was already in his head, so it was more important to escape now.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The Wizard s.h.i.+p rampaged through the sea of corpses, and the corpses collided with the hull of the s.h.i.+p one after another.
Heath stood on the deck, driving the Wizard s.h.i.+p through groups of corpses, and sailed into the distance.
His face was serious, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He did not relax at all, and instead looked even more nervous than before.
He had read in detail about Catfish Whales, this demonized creature. This creature was vicious and vengeful. Once it targeted its prey, it would not easily give up.
The only way to get rid of it now was to return to the sailing route as soon as possible. That was the contract signed between the Wizards and the high-level seafolk. Even a giant creature like the Catfish Whale would not dare to easily go against it.
‘Quick…’
‘Quick!’
Heath urged in his heart again and again. The power of the Wizard s.h.i.+p had been pushed to the limit by him.
Fortunately, he had already arrived at the vicinity of the route. This area was not far from the route. After going around for a while, Heath soon came to the front of the route.
Heath relaxed his brows slightly and was about to steer the s.h.i.+p over.
But at this time.
Splas.h.!.+ A violent sound of water flow was heard.
A huge shadow suddenly appeared under the sea and swam over at an extremely fast speed, then appeared on the surface of the sea.
If it wasn’t the Catfish Whale, then what was it?
That Catfish Whale unexpectedly swam over at this time, blocking Heath’s way.
Heath frowned. Was this a coincidence?
He quickly pulled the Wizard s.h.i.+p to a stop and adjusted the course to take a detour.
The Catfish Whale did not pay much attention to him and continued to lay lazily on the surface of the sea and devour the sea beasts’ corpses.
Soon, Heath took a detour to another entrance into the route.
However, it was the same.
Just as he was about to enter the route, the huge black shadow once again appeared on the surface of the sea. The Catfish Whale once again appeared in front of him and blocked Heath’s path.
Heath’s face sank.
Even a fool could see that the Catfish Whale was deliberately teasing him.
Being seen through, the Catfish Whale did not care. Instead, it looked at Heath provocatively. Its expression was full of ridicule, just like a cat playing with a mouse.
Heath’s face became ugly.
This was no longer a matter of whether he was angry or not. Being targeted by such a beast was really…
Heath stood on the deck, his expression changing rapidly.
A moment later, he took the nautical chart and looked at it carefully. Then, a fierce look flashed across his face.
‘D*mn it, you like to play, right? Then come on!’
With a fierce look in his heart, Heath decisively gave up on continuing to run for his life. Instead, he abruptly turned the bow of the s.h.i.+p and sailed towards a certain direction in the deep sea.
After half an hour, suddenly…
Splas.h.!.+ A strong sound of water flowing could be heard.
In front of him, there was a strange scene…
It was a waterfall.
In the depths of the sea, there was a huge waterfall…
