Chapter 2941: Gluttony's Persistence
Lightning flashed, and the rain poured down.
The storm on the sea was terrifying. The curtain of rain almost connected heaven and earth, and bean-sized raindrops poured down, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
Su Xiao stood at the bow of the *Doom*. Through the curtain of rain, he saw the enemy on the sea surface below. This enemy came from the Sanctuary Paradise and was named Gluttony.
The reason why it was dragged until now to deal with Gluttony was because Gluttony was too dangerous. The danger level of the Magic Sea World was in the upper-middle of the eighth tier, still a distance away from the upstream difficulty, let alone the top tier.
The difficulty limit of the Magic Sea World was most likely at the end of the Magic Sea, that is, inside the Great Vortex.
Unless absolutely necessary, Su Xiao would not go there. In this way, the danger level of the Magic Sea was around lv. 73–lv. 75, which was at the lower-middle level of the eighth tier. Confronting the four great pirates and the Imperial forces, the overall danger level was between these.
The enemy in front was very likely in the top tier of the eighth tier, and the degree of danger could be imagined.
Through previous confrontations, Su Xiao discovered that Gluttony was somewhat stubborn. In most cases, these kinds of silly fools died before the fifth tier. Only a small part survived, but this small part was very tricky. These silly fools were all killed hard, and their combat power made up for their lack of intelligence.
In Su Xiao's view, Gluttony's danger level was far higher than the West Sea King's. Even if the other party didn't look smart, he had to deal with it cautiously. The frontal assault ability of these kinds of silly fools was mysteriously powerful.
A few hundred meters away from the *Doom*, Gluttony stood on the wooden board, drifting with the waves.
"Why... did the people who traveled with me all die?"
Gluttony, wearing full-body armor, lowered his head. His relationship with Firefly was actually not very close, but this was a teammate he had finally found!
Gluttony had no bad habits. Although he was sometimes silent, he occasionally had a sense of humor. 26 years old, unmarried, male. From the first tier to the eighth tier, he had experienced a total of 72 worlds. Along the way, it could be summarized in eight words: 'Life and death are indifferent, if not convinced, just fight.'
It could be said that Gluttony was a very good teammate, and his combat power was also formidable. Since the first tier, he had been accustomed to experiencing worlds with others, basically in small groups of 2–3 people.
Even so, Gluttony had died a total of 102 teammates. He was very expensive in terms of teammates. The average teammate consumption per world was about 1.3–1.4.
Please don't laugh. Gluttony had never sold out a teammate. His name had already spread in the Sanctuary Paradise. Even the fanatical god-stickers were unwilling to form a team with him. A god-sticker team in the eighth tier, facing Gluttony's request to join, finally refused with a tactful attitude.
Before entering the Magic Sea, Gluttony started looking for teammates again. He was used to forming teams. A long time ago, he knew that he was not very smart and needed a smart teammate.
After searching for a long time, he finally met Firefly. When they first made contact, Gluttony discovered that Firefly's motives were impure, but this didn't matter. He could kill Firefly in an instant. He only needed the other party's reasonably smart brain.
Things went against his wishes. Firefly died. Counting Firefly, Gluttony had already died 103 teammates. It was almost enough to form a medium-sized adventure group. This made Gluttony both depressed and astonished. How did the teammate die again?
Thinking of these, Gluttony's mood was slightly low. He missed someone. That teammate had experienced 3 fifth-tier native worlds with him. The other party called himself a priest. It had been a long time since they last met. He heard that the other party had been staying in the seventh tier, which made Gluttony very puzzled. He was already in the top tier of the eighth tier, and the other party was still in the seventh tier. Gluttony didn't know the specifics and couldn't figure out why.
Gluttony still remembered the sentence the priest said before parting with him: "Gluttony, I'm already old, you go find others to travel with."
Gluttony felt that the priest was a bit haggard. He tried to persuade him to stay for a long time, but the priest still left. For this, Gluttony was depressed for a long time.
"White Night of the Reincarnation Paradise, you pay for my teammate's life."
A scroll appeared in Gluttony's hand. If someone else said this, it would give people a sense of ruthless revenge, but when this came out of Gluttony's mouth, it always felt weird.
A black shadow rushed out from the sea surface and submerged into Gluttony's body. He didn't dodge or evade, letting the shadow-formed Cursed One invade his body.
The black shadow had just submerged into Gluttony's body when it flew out backward in the next instant. The Cursed One in mid-air transformed into a solid, and cracks covered its whole body, like broken ceramic.
Gluttony crushed the scroll in his hand, and a cold mist spread out. The cold air spread on the sea surface, and the sea area with a diameter of two kilometers around quickly froze. The ice surface was uneven, and the waves were frozen into arcs.
The sea was frozen. Entering the Magic Sea World, no matter how silly Gluttony was, he would prepare some props to deal with sea battles. He still had a good sense of his combat ability in the sea.
Gluttony stood on the ice surface. His right arm lifted, and a cone gun nearly 2.5 meters long appeared, which he held in his hand. The structure of this cone gun was very simple: the front half was like a cone, covered with spiral patterns, and the back half of the grip was iron-black.
With a *clatter*, Gluttony pointed the tip of the cone gun in his hand forward.
Gluttony's face mask opened, and an Epic-grade arm guard appeared in his hand. He took a big bite of the arm guard as if eating a cookie.
At most five bites, Gluttony ate the Holy Spirit-grade arm guard clean. Looking at that appearance, it was clear that he was somewhat unsatisfied.
A domain with a diameter of 500 meters appeared. This domain only appeared for an instant before disappearing. Judging from the fluctuations around Gluttony, this unknown domain was still there.
One after another, black shadows emerged from the surrounding ice surface. Nearly a hundred Cursed Ones restored their physical bodies. These Cursed Ones held various weapons, their clothes were tattered, and their pairs of eyes, which had no whites and were completely pitch black, made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
"Come."
The pupils under Gluttony's helmet looked around. This armor of his didn't look clumsy, almost sticking to his whole body. There were rib-like patterns on the chest, and the armor on his arms and shoulders was precision armor plates, which would not affect the flexibility of the joints.
Behind Gluttony, Ghost Shadow just wanted to enter the underwater stealth state, but it found that it could no longer perform underwater stealth.
Not only Ghost Shadow, but Amansi beside it was also the same. The rapier in its hand originally burned with illusory gray flames, but after being enveloped by Gluttony's domain, the gray flames on Amansi's sword disappeared.
Many Cursed Ones discovered that they could no longer use their respective housekeeping skills.
"Boss, this silly fool is a bit fierce."
Baha, who landed on the bow of the ship, spoke. It could no longer shuttle through space at this time, and a fluctuation was suppressing it from using active-type abilities.
【Notification: You have suffered the suppression effect of the 'Silent Domain'. Located within this domain, you will be unable to use combat-type active skills.】
【Judging...】
【Blood Qi Release (Active Skill) temporarily unavailable.】
【Blue Steel Shadow (Active Skill) can be used; this is a high-tier exemption.】
【Blue Shadow King (Ultimate Skill) can be used; this is a high-tier exemption.】
【No other combat-type active skills mastered by the Hunter have been detected.】
【All active-type abilities attached to equipment below Immortal-grade are temporarily unavailable.】
Su Xiao felt the changes in himself. He seemed... not affected much. Except for the Blood Qi Release ability, other abilities were not affected at all. At this moment, the 'Blood Qi Release' ability level was only lv. 16, so it was normal to be suppressed.
For most eighth-tier contractors, fighting Gluttony was a nightmare. A large pile of abilities were sealed. If the tier of the inherited power or inherited profession was not high enough, they could only throw props and then engage in close-quarters combat with Gluttony. The magic-type was the most miserable, having to rush toward Gluttony while holding a magic staff.
Judging from Gluttony's Immortal-grade full-body armor and the nearly 2.5-meter-long cone gun in his hand, this was definitely a close-quarters ruthless person. While having extremely strong survivability, his attack ability would not be weak. The only weakness was speed.
In fact, Gluttony's abilities were very simple: Silent Domain + Damage Rebound + Shattering effect of weapon blessing. This shattering effect was the blessing effect of the technique-type ability, Heavy Spear. ===== CHAPTER 2942 =====
