As for the Corrosion and Erosion Apostles, he didn't pay much attention to them. He figured that since Isaac placed such high hopes on them, their combat strength must be extraordinary, so he didn't need to worry about them…
"Crack! Crack!"
Just as Caesar was thinking this, two voices came. He looked in the direction of the voices and saw that Corrosion and Erosion had not dodged the attacking tentacles. They were hit in an instant and then tightly wrapped around them!
Seeing the dimensional apostle captured almost instantly, Caesar's face twitched. So... he was caught?
of course not.
"Chichi!"
Just as the purple tentacles wrapped around the corrosive creature, preparing to drag it to the seabed, the sound of flesh and blood corroding rang out, followed by the mournful howl of the mysterious star beast in the seabed!
"ah!!!!"
A sharp explosion rang out from beneath the sea surface, and the sea instantly became even more turbulent!
The star beast tried to retract its tentacles, but it was too late. The tentacles that had been enveloping the corrosive creature had been completely corroded away. Moreover, a thick purple aura remained where the tentacles had broken off, and it was rapidly spreading towards the roots of the tentacles!
Wherever the purple aura passed, flesh and blood were transformed into a misty purple magic!
"Snapped!"
Although the power of corrosion was strong, the star beast's combat experience was also extraordinary. It severed the two tentacles almost instantly, thus avoiding the impact of the two strange powers on its body.
Yes, two of the star beast's tentacles were severed in that instant!
On the other side, although the tentacles also enveloped the erosion, like the corrosion, this was also intentional on the part of the erosion. After being enveloped by the tentacles, the power of [Erosion] was activated instantly, and the purple tentacles instantly turned into an eerie green color centered on the location of the erosion!
Seeing this, Caesar, who was not far away, looked surprised. The way these two fought...
So insidious!
but……
Insidious, but correct!
From the perspective of the classification of the extraordinary path, dimensional apostles should belong to the category of demonic beings. Although they possess magical power, and it is nearly infinite magical power, however…
Dimensional magic is very simple in nature, and the spells that can be cast are very few, which is not enough to support them to become wizards, or at least, it is not easy for them to succeed.
Therefore, they are unable to wield the power of authority like wizards.
Therefore, to unleash the power of these two abilities, close combat is necessary, but this fighting style is extremely dangerous. Just like now, even though the two of them completed a beautiful counterattack.
But in reality, they had already been on the brink of death. If their powers hadn't been able to harm the star beast, their current situation wouldn't be so good.
However, Caesar could understand their fighting style. If Caesar also had an immortal body that could resurrect infinitely, he would also use this fighting style!
This is one of the reasons why he only dodged on his own and didn't bring Corrosion and Erosion with him.
"call out!"
"Pfft!"
Although the star beast had severed its tentacles, the corrosion and erosion did not intend to give up. The two transformed into streaks of light and rushed into the sea one after the other, heading towards the star beast's body underwater!
"grumble!!!!"
A sound of three parts terror and seven parts shock came from underwater. Then, a thick stream of silver light came from beneath the sea surface, evaporating the seawater within a radius of a thousand miles in almost an instant!
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the sea!
The surrounding seawater roared and surged toward this place as if it had gone mad!
However, Caesar did not even glance at the tsunami. Such a natural disaster might be of some importance to first or second-tier wizards, but it was not so important to him.
At this moment, Caesar's attention was entirely focused on the octopus-like star beast floating in mid-air, its body wreathed in silver flames.
It's mainly that silver flame!
Star Power!
A special kind of magic is one of the important factors that makes the Star Beasts' bodies so large and strong, and it is also their greatest reliance for traversing the starry sky!
Star power is a power that evolves from the radiation of the Star God's divine power. It is somewhat similar to the Star God's divine power, so its quality is extremely high. For example, at this moment, the octopus star beast simply released star power, and the silver flames instantly evaporated the surrounding seawater!
Very scary!
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Caesar so concerned. As a chosen one of the gods, and a very special one at that, as well as a powerful figure who believed in the way of chivalry, Caesar's own divine power was not much lower than that of the star power.
Caesar was interested in the property of Star Power that could greatly enhance the physical body!
Although he was a barbarian, his family had produced two high-ranking wizards, one of whom had spent a long time with him. Under such influence, he naturally adopted some of the wizard's way of thinking.
Therefore, the moment Caesar saw this stellar power, he wondered if it could be used in the construction of the army.
"Bang bang bang!"
Listening to the whooshing sound of the octopus-like star beast's tentacles lashing out, Caesar stroked his chin, feeling that this idea had great potential. Although star power would bring some negative changes while strengthening the physical body, but...
That's not something he needs to worry about; that's Cheryl's problem. What he needs to consider is how to build such an army, and that's the most troublesome thing.
Cheryl only needs to deal with the side effects of the Star Power, but Caesar has many more things to consider.
Just as Caesar was deep in thought, on the battlefield, although the Octopus Star Beast unleashed star power of extremely high quality and level, it did not gain the upper hand in the battle. On the contrary, in just a few seconds of fighting, it was already showing signs of defeat!
The reason is simple: its star power quality is very high, but Isaac's dimensional magic quality is not bad either, especially after so many rituals, its quality is even higher.
Not to mention, at this moment, there is also the blessing of power!
Dimensional magic already possesses a strong corrosive ability, and with the assistance of the two powers of [Erosion] and [Corrosion], its corrosive ability becomes even stronger.
In just a few seconds, the octopus-like creature's body became mangled and broken, its tattered form covered in specks of green light.
[Corrosion] breaks through the defense, creating an opportunity for [Erosion] to control the enemy. Then, [Erosion] creates space for [Corrosion] to deal damage. The two work together perfectly, enough to drag the Octopus Star Beast to its death!
"Chirp chirp~~!!!"
Faced with imminent disaster, even though the star beast's intelligence was rather ordinary, it still knew to flee in the face of death, but...
Although the battle was short, due to the perfect combination of corrosion and erosion, at least one-third of its body was stained green, and control of one-third of its body fell into the hands of erosion. It wanted to escape, but its body could not move much at all!
Death is near...
Caesar, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded slightly. It seemed that this was the weakness of the Star Beasts. Although their bodies were powerful and their star power was thick and violent, their weakness was that their intelligence was too low. Moreover, they were born under the influence of the residual divine power of the dead Star God, making it difficult for them to master their powers.
Star beasts of at least the third rank cannot possess power. Star beasts generally need to reach the fourth rank to accumulate enough intelligence, and the fifth rank to awaken power. Before that, they can only rely on brute force.
Even more barbaric than a melee barbarian like a knight.
The battle ended quickly. Most of the octopus star beast's body was corroded and absorbed into the dimensional world, and then placed in a magic-free area for safekeeping. Star beasts are rare creatures with considerable research value.
Even though the star beast's body was incomplete, it still had considerable research value for Isaac and Sauron, especially for Sauron.
Despite their higher starting point compared to Sauron, both of them knew in their hearts that in the eyes of the Venerable One, they were definitely inferior to Sauron. Putting aside the miracle, wisdom, and perseverance with which he climbed up from one of the lowest-level monster goblins, there was also his extraordinary path, just like the Venerable One's—the legendary wizard.
This predetermined that Sauron's position in the Lord's heart would be higher than the other two.
By currying favor with Sauron, the two of them might be able to retain these two powers and keep this strength indefinitely!
This desire grew even stronger after they successfully defeated the Octopus Star Beast!
This is a third-tier monster!
And it's a pretty strong one!
If it were them in the past, they probably would have been killed by the aftershocks of the battle.
Desire is like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once it starts falling, it can never stop.
Chapter 263 Crimson Infinite Dragon Swarm
"Whoo~"
Above the magnificent, multicolored surface of the Star Sea, the figure of the winged fire dragon swiftly swept across, leaving a huge wave in its wake. The commotion was significant, but it also alerted many star beasts beneath the surface, who launched their own attacks.
Although the Winged Fire Dragon is only a sub-dragon species, its flight speed is not much worse than that of a pure-blooded dragon, and most of the attacks of the Star Beasts cannot catch up with the Winged Fire Dragon.
The few star beasts with relatively fast attack speeds, but insufficient attack power, barely scratched the Winged Fire Dragon, not even enough to stop it.
Even in the Star Sea, not all Star Beasts, even those heavily influenced by the Star God's power, are that powerful. The vast majority of Star Beasts are still at the first or second tier. However, as products of the Star God's power, there are no Star Beasts that do not reach a certain tier; the lowest is at the first tier.
The fundamental reason is that the Star Sea is not the Starry Sky. Its living environment is not as harsh as that of the Starry Sky. Although first and second-tier star beasts are easy to die, they can still survive here. Unlike the Starry Sky, star beasts below the third tier do not even have the basis to survive in the Starry Sky.
Secondly, the Star Sea is part of the Endless Sea and is not completely separated from it. Just like when Isaac was attacked by Star Beasts as soon as he reached the boundary of the Star Sea, the Star Beasts of the Star Sea can leave the Star Sea and move around in other sea areas.
However, other sea areas lack the remaining power of the Star Gods, and their environments are not to their liking, which is why most Star Beasts concentrate their activities in the Star Sea.
Therefore, the reverse is also true. The Star Sea does not restrict Star Beasts from appearing in other sea areas, and naturally it does not restrict Sea Beasts from other sea areas from flowing into the Star Sea.
Some of these sea beasts that flowed into the Star Sea were eaten by the Star Beasts, while others worked hard, absorbed enough Star God power, and evolved into powerful Star Beasts!
Then it was eaten by an even stronger star beast...
This unique ecosystem results in a far greater number of star beasts in the Star Sea than in the regular star beasts in the starry sky. Of course, as a result, their average strength is also far lower than that of the regular star beasts in the starry sky.
Of course, this is just an average; there are still quite a few high-level star beasts here.
This is not...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just in front of the winged fire dragon, several water blades flew out of the sea and slashed straight at it!
At the same time, a strange force field descended, and the invisible force field transformed into strange ropes that wrapped around the winged fire dragon. Although it could not stop it completely, it effectively limited its flight speed.
Rona, perched on the back of the winged fire dragon, narrowed her eyes slightly and parted her lips: "Stop, deal with it."
"Roar!"
It was just a whisper that could easily be swallowed by the wind, but it clearly reached the ears of the winged fire dragon. It let out a confident roar, and the violent sound wave instantly shattered the three water blades.
Immediately afterwards...
"hiss!!!!"
The winged fire dragon took a deep breath, its chest glowing red as it swelled high...
"boom!"
The next moment, a blazing crimson stream of light shot out from the mouth of the winged fire dragon, heading towards the direction from which the water blade had come... and then three hundred meters to the right!
The deep red, scorching breath instantly evaporated the seawater along its path and the invisible force field around it. At the same time, a huge amount of water vapor rose up!
"Huh~"
