D20... Chen Qi lowered his head. In the calm sea water, the red-die-with-white-dots spherical dice above his head spun continuously like a halo.
This was Palu's domain, an ability that could only be unleashed with the powerful spiritual core of a legendary transcendent.
In this era without tides, domains were the most powerful techniques ordinary transcendents could witness.
Palu's Release had advanced further compared to other legends—his dice affinity domain had received blessings from dice affinity entities within high-tier dinsional rifts.
Chen Qi followed the sea breeze, his gaze moving from the retreating Black Blood soldiers before him to the two muscular won grappling in the distance!
Without exception, all these people had twenty-sided dice halos floating above their heads.
Conservative estimates placed the range of influence at least ten thousand ters, comparable to the impact range when so C-tier dinsional rifts collapsed... Chen Qi looked toward Palu beside him.
Above Palu's azure hair, a hundred-sided dice had already ford.
This was Palu's unique ability—within his D20 domain, he could grant allied units special hundred-sided dice.
Moreover, what appeared to be a domain rule enhancent of just double maximum power, when combined with various dice affinity forbidden objects and dice affinity techniques, could ultimately create differences of ten tis, or even a hundred tis!
Palu's expression twisted in pain as he gripped his arm:
"I need so ti to perform a more extensive Release, Black Hunter..."
Black pustules with human faces were continuously erging on his right arm.
This was the Black Death Doctor's ability—just one second of contact could cause 'pathological changes' that would prove fatal to the entire body.
"?"
As soone who had just recently advanced to legendary status, I have quite a few things to do... Chen Qi raised his head, his gaze eting that of the Blood General on the deck.
On the deck of the Black Prison Ship, the ship's adjutant asked:
"General, what should we do? Our soldiers' combat abilities are greatly reduced within this domain."
The Blood General in the mist shaped his palm like a blade:
"What is there to fear? It's just a difference between 20 and 100. Kill the caster himself, and this domain will crumble in an instant."
In the mist, the Blood General took three steps forward and pointed his finger at Chen Qi's head.
The target is actually ... Chen Qi pulled out his long-unused ranged weapon—the Magic Bullet Company's Giant Slayer gun and spiral bullets.
He lightly traced his finger, drawing a small fla from the Daylight Lantern at his waist and applying it to the bullet.
Fla Forging.
He had just finished his Release and couldn't use large techniques in a short ti.
Now, the best ranged combat thod available to him was enchanting spiral bullets and sniping.
Chen Qi aid the gun barrel at the lofty Blood General.
"May the Ice Witch protect ..."
Chen Qi murmured to himself, his hand on the trigger.
Although Palu's domain was powerful, its flaws were significant.
Just like in gacha gas, sotis a hundred carefully accumulated pulls might not compare to a lucky single pull from soone blessed by fortune.
Need to show the Blood General a thing or two... A smile curled at the corner of Chen Qi's lips.
Their goal was to teach the Blackfin Crew's fleet a lesson before leaving Devil Island.
Otherwise, their plan to enter the Witch's Coffin would face massive obstacles.
How dare he aim a gun at ... A flicker of anger flashed in the Blood General's dark red eyes.
For an old-tir who had been a legend for eleven years, being pointed at with a gun by a newcor who just advanced during the dinsional tide was a disgrace!
His index finger ford a hook shape, aid at Chen Qi's skull:
"Even if you're granted 100 points, what difference does it make?"
"Pierce!"
He lightly pointed downward with his finger.
Instantly, a crimson spiral condensed, forming a ten-ter spiral spear that shot from a hundred ters high directly at Chen Qi's forehead.
Chen Qi also gently pulled the trigger, sending a spiral bullet burning with white flas shooting from the gun barrel.
Bang!
The mont the enchanted spiral bullet was fired, it directly shattered the gun barrel, then accelerated mid-air, continuously spiraling!
Simultaneously, the dice above both their heads spun rapidly.
The different dice points would determine the outco of this clash.
On the island, Fen lowered her head, clutching her chest, a small worried blue flower sprouting from her head as she prayed devoutly:
"May the Earth Mother Goddess protect us..."
"Hmm... May you roll..."
Little Crow stood frozen in place, her lips moving as she wanted to say so naive, prayerful words.
But in the end, the habitually pessimistic Little Crow couldn't help thinking about the bad possibilities.
"How can a newly advanced legend possibly fight against such an old monster from the Black Blood Empire?"
Little Crow bit her tongue. Although she deeply hoped for the Black Hunter's victory in her heart,
the presence of that Black Prison Ship far surpassed the Black Hunter in spiritual energy field!
The opponent was a navy general dispatched by the Black Blood Empire to conquer the Witch Sea!
Should I not be so pessimistic... Little Crow felt extrely conflicted inside.
The spiral bullet burning with white fire collided with the blood-red spear.
And in that instant, the rapidly spinning dice above both their heads stopped.
The hundred-sided dice above Chen Qi's head stopped at 69 points.
And the points above the Blood General on the deck were—
An extrely low probability 4 points!
Bang!
Almost instantly, the spiral bullet pierced through the spear, carrying fierce winds straight toward the Blood General on the deck!
Under the enhancent of dice affinity power, the flas and whirlwind stirred up by the spiral bullet resembled a massive firestorm!
True experts can overco disadvantages brought by luck... The Blood General in the mist remained calm and composed, calmly raising his index finger.
He only needed one finger to block this attack!
Crimson energy condensed, forming a blood-red shield glowing with red light before him.
Bang! The next second, the spiral bullet struck the shield condensed by the Blood General.
The dice above both their heads spun again.
The final result was 98 versus 1!
The Blood General's luck had rolled an extrely rare one point!
Noticing the 1 point above his head, the Blood General's body stiffened, his lips moving as if wanting to say sothing.
However, the bullet didn't give him ti to speak.
The spiral bullet instantly pierced through his cheek, like a at grinder, tearing apart his fourth-tier legendary flesh!
Instantly, blood stained the deck.
Splash! Splash!
Imdiately, the Blood General's body was scorched by flas, revealing terrifying wounds.
On the deck, even the battle-hardened Black Blood soldiers finally showed panic.
Their general, a respected legend, had actually sustained such massive injuries!
And all of this from just a single burning spiral bullet.
This old guy from the Black Blood Empire doesn't seem to have experience dealing with dice affinity domains... Chen Qi put down the sniper rifle, ntally complaining.
The best way to avoid 'D20' judgnts is to avoid 'defense', to avoid creating 'judgnts' altogether.
The correct approach is to abandon defense and use speed to dodge.
The power of domains is truly marvelous... Chen Qi blew on the gun barrel smoking with thick smoke.
He possessed the Ice Witch's Sword of the Lake, so constructing a domain wasn't particularly difficult for him compared to other legends.
Currently, the domains I could most easily research would be the solidified space described in Rift Slash, or a domain compatible with Monster's Desire, or a deep sea domain... Chen Qi thought to himself, then looked at Palu beside him:
"How about it? Are you ready?"
"Already prepared."
Palu took a deep breath. The dice above his head spun rapidly and finally stopped at "100"!
Like a magician, he produced a die from his hand and loudly declared:
"Dice Release, D60!"
In that instant, on the battlefield, all the twenty-sided dice above the navy soldiers' heads rapidly transford into sixty-sided dice!
This included the three navy legends—the Tiger Shark General, the Disaster ssenger, and the recently advanced Gray Mouse!
Instantly boosting an entire army's combat power within the domain!
Amid the fierce winds, Palu laughed twice:
"Duration is five minutes. It's your turn to act, navy..."
Imdiately, earth-shaking cheers erupted once again across the battlefield!
A super large-scale 'dice alteration'... Chen Qi stroked his chin, looking at Palu with so surprise.
Palu truly lived up to being soone he had recognized, one of the Twin Pillars of the Imperial Capital alongside Pelu.
Palu was called the Emperor, and on the high seas, he was known as the Witch Sea's strongest newcor in ten years, an invincible solo pirate.
Many of his abilities were more suited for support roles than one-on-one combat.
Boom! Boom!
The Blood General's wounds, combined with the widespread sixty-sided dice.
The balance of offense and defense instantly shifted!
A lean pirate said to the tall navy soldier before him:
"How about we just roll dice to decide the outco?"
"Is it too late to reconcile now?"
"Power! Power! I see the Goddess of Luck's power favoring !"
A navy soldier wielding a giant axe shouted loudly:
"I have a sixty-sided die! My opponent has a twenty-sided die! How can you kill ! How can you possibly kill !"
The next second, the giant axe navy soldier rolled two points, while his opponent rolled twenty points, punching through the giant axe navy soldier's inner armor with one blow.
However, aside from such rare cases, the navy's offensive grew increasingly fierce!
Whether it was the resisting pirates on Devil Island or the pirates on pirate ships, they all sank into the sea with each turn of the dice.
Additionally, the Disaster ssenger and Tiger Shark General would join forces to confront the Blood General's massive ship!
Watching the scene of raging artillery fire before him, Palu pressed his throat and coughed twice:
"Hunter, we need to leave. To resurrect the Ice Witch, we can't stay here too long or suffer too many losses..."
With the navy present in this battle, as neutral parties, they didn't need to exert their full strength.
"Hmm."
Chen Qi didn't hesitate, passing through the artillery-filled sea to reunite with Fen and Little Crow.
On the island, Fen was beside Little Crow and suddenly asked a question out of curiosity:
"Hey, Little Crow, speaking of which, do you know anything about the Black Hunter? Like, which faction did he previously belong to?"
Is the witch trying to threaten Chen Qi's family... Little Crow trembled as she said:
"I don't know anything, but... his cooking should be quite good..."
I know, the fish bait he makes is delicious too... Fen said with a troubled expression as she stroked her chin:
"Let's leave the rest to the navy. We should go now..."
"Let's go, you two."
Chen Qi said with a pained expression, patting Little Crow's shoulder.
The flesh tentacles behind him still needed Little Crow's surgery to heal.
And in that instant, Little Crow's pupils crossed the sea, her gaze eting that of the Black Death Doctor on the Devil Doctor ship!
Black Death Doctor... She trembled all over.
For the sake of the Black Hunter and Chen Qi, the Black Death Doctor had already sacrificed too much!
If the Black Death Doctor also activated his domain, this battlefield would be piled with plague-ridden corpses!
However, contrary to her expectations, the Black Death Doctor showed no intention of landing on the island to capture Chen Qi.
With their currently deployed forces, attempting to capture the Black Hunter was simply wishful thinking.
Then, on the ship, the Black Death Doctor's lips emitted so black mist, writhing to depict so strange patterns.
These were codes exclusive to the Blackfin Crew's upper echelons, patterns used to convey information!
The Black Death Doctor stood at the ship's bow, spewing black mist as he transmitted the encrypted ssage word by word to Little Crow:
"Little Crow, don't, be afraid, don't, fear."
"I know you, fear the Black Hunter, fear the witch, that they will tie you up for interrogation. One day, we will rescue you."
"Use your talents, appropriately reveal the Blackfin Crew's secrets to them, then steal their intelligence. The crow will contact you. We will grant you the Disaster ssenger's fourth-tier profession card, and unprecedented power..."
"Beco the Blackfin Crew's eyes, beco the Blackfin Crew's guide. Survive, my dear Crow Doctor. Don't fear the hunter's cruelty. Endure, use your talents."
After speaking, the Black Death Doctor raised his pus-covered hand and made a 'shh' gesture.
The Blood Demon Doctor had overdrawn his spiritual energy and was certainly dood.
But fortunately, their Blackfin Crew still had a Crow Doctor whom he regarded as his successor, full of talent!
Being a spy again? And for the witch faction? Little Crow touched her ssy hair, her mind buzzing.
Why do they always choose to be a spy? Do I have 'spy' written on my face?
"Hmm?"
Chen Qi turned back and asked softly:
"What information is the Black Death Doctor conveying?"
"Can I... tell you later..."
Little Crow bit her lip.
Later? Chen Qi turned back to look at the Black Death Doctor watching them from afar.
In the distance, on the Devil Doctor ship, a flicker of worry passed through the Black Death Doctor's eyes.
In his mind, Little Crow was a genius worthy of inheriting his knowledge, a genius researching the deep sea!
However, he had just seen the terrified look in Little Crow's eyes.
That must be a look of fear and trembling due to threats from the witch and hunter!
He feared that Little Crow would be tortured by the Black Hunter, and after being pumped for information, would be abandoned by the Black Hunter and witch, becoming a corpse on the sea.
He wondered what cruel thods the terrifying Black Hunter and witch would use against poor Little Crow on their ship?
Amid the artillery fire, the Black Death Doctor had soone bring him the Witch Tis.
The Witch Tis recorded nurous speculations and intelligence about the Black Hunter and witch's identities.
Newspapers always contain so rumors; I need to discern... The Black Death Doctor looked at Reporter Lilith's analysis of the witch and Black Hunter.
"The Black Hunter and witch use vines and tentacles to... train captives..."
"The Black Hunter is a cold, ruthless slave trader. Rumor has it his ship holds seven slaves tortured beyond recognition, responsible for all cleaning and chores on board."
"The Flower Witch is suspected of having pica, enjoying eating human scalps and hair."
Cold, ruthless monsters, a witch who gains pleasure from torturing others... The Black Death Doctor's ears already echoed with the screams and wails of Little Crow being tortured by the Black Hunter and witch.
Survive, Little Crow, survive!
If you can return safely, the Blood Demon Doctor's position, no, my future position, will be yours... The Black Death Doctor prayed inwardly.
