Deathscale Pangolin is slain. Acquired 200 points!

Accumulated score: 32600!

Ranking: 782930!

The last announcement from the system messages had given Qin Ruo a new perspective of the contests scores.

He didnt think he would be able to break through 30,000 points this easily. And if he slayed the Jebel Pangolin here and acquire that 200,000 points, he could have bagged more than 300,000 points and above in total!

Other than that, he didnt think that the geographical advantage would benefit him so greatly over here.

It had not yet been five minutes since he entered the Mirage and the Blackscale Pangolins had been all but eliminated by him. He was also able to slay some Deathscale Pangolins which were along the way in half a minute.

The battle was tipping to his favor!

The only thing that was bugging him was before he could slay all the Deathscale Pangolins, the Jebel Pangolin had summoned the rest of them to its side and formed a circular defense around it. They firmly stood their ground on the beach, thirty meters away from the seawater.

It was apparent that after losing to Qin Ruo in the first few rounds, the Jebel Pangolin had now understood that the ocean was overwhelmingly beneficial to Qin Ruo and therefore, had decided to not venture near the ocean from here on

If that was the case, Qin Ruo would have no choice but to face off the Jebel Pangolin and the Deathscale Pangolins head on.

Nonetheless, over 140,000 HP had been depleted from the Jebel Pangolin. The battle was going quite well for Qin Ruo

Besides, Qin Ruo didnt really plan to depend on the oceans water entirely. He knew Jebel Pangolin was no idiot as the Boss would, sooner or later, move away from an element that was disadvantageous to it.

Qin Ruo swiftly took a black Mana Core from his backpack and directed some Mana into it

Then, a flash of black light beamed out from the Mana Core and landed on the beach!

Splash!

The ocean water splashed up wide and high in the sky.

In a blink of an eye, a three-meter-long black giant ant appeared next to Qin Ruo. Its pincers were as huge and sharp as a pair of serrated butchers knives; its feelers swinging left and right in a playful manner.

The Tier 6 Shadow Soldier Ants appearance had sent a surge of excitement amongst the pangolins

Roarrr!!!

The Jebel Pangolin let out a deafening roar to its Deathscale Pangolin army stopping them from being allured by the tasty cuisine in front of them.

Seeing this, Qin Ruo let out a smile.

He was testing to see if the Pangolin monsters would still retain their savage eating habits; to see if they would still be tempted to consume ants. It went unexpectedly well.

He had only summoned out one ant when disorder had started to run rampant amongst the pangolins.

Heh!

Oh, dont worry. Theres more!

Like a magician showing off his magic tricks, Qin Ruo hurled out all the black Mana Cores to the sky. In an instant, thirteen more Shadow Soldier Ants had appeared in front of the pangolins.

Heeding Qin Ruos command, the fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants stood still in the sea. Basking their sturdy shells in the cool water, they leered uneasily at the Pangolin Army in front of them.

Although they were of the same level, the Pangolins were, after all, these Shadow Soldier Ants natural enemies. Besides, there were over a hundred of them and having a giant Overlord Boss standing in front of them, it was quite understandable for them to be this anxious.

If it wasnt for Qin Ruos command, the Shadow Soldier Ants would have run for their lives

Nonetheless, the fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants had now influenced the Pangolin Army. Fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants were like fourteen delicious meals lying in front of them. Yet, they couldnt rush forward to feast on them; all of this being the work of a puny Tier 5 human Aquamancer.

To them, this was an unbearable slap of humiliation! Of course, this had also massively provoked the Jebel Pangolin!

Using his Elemental Perception, Qin Ruo could observe quite clearly that several Deathscale Pangolins were giving their all in pulling back their cumbersome bodies. Fuming out furious snuffs of gas from their noses, the Pangolins couldnt wait to dash forward and devour the Shadow Soldier Ants.

Qin Ruo knew in a few moments, some of these Pangolins would have lost their patience and would storm out of their formation

However, time was ticking. There were still twenty minutes left before reaching the time limit. Qin Ruo had no option but to defeat these Deathscale Pangolins in a very short time.

Go!

Hearing this, a Shadow Soldier Ant turned its head and looked at its temporary master pitifully.

Unfortunately, it was in no position to protest.

After Qin Ruo reiterated the same order, the Shadow Soldier Ants, influenced by the Mana Cores seals, shook their shells in fear and dashed forward!

Seeing this, the Pangolins impenetrable metallic fortress crumbled in an instant

No matter how much the Jebel Pangolin roared at them, his minions had succumbed to their primal instincts and dashed towards the oncoming Shadow Soldier Ants!

Seeing hundreds of predators dashing at them, the Shadow Soldier Ants were relieved when they heard Qin Ruos command to retreat. They hastily backed away from the Pangolins and swiftly retreated back to the ocean.

As they arrived next to Qin Ruo, several dozen Frost Arrows had rained over the Shadow Soldier Ants heads!

Of course, Qin Ruo was not hurling those arrows at the Deathscale Pangolins, which possessed strong sturdy defense

Nonetheless, due to the Jebel Pangolin trying to pull its Deathscale Pangolins back, Qin Ruos arrows could at least eliminate some of them that were on the frontline.

As he looked on the Deathscale Pangolins being fallen one by one by his arrows, he quickly acted again. This wave of attacks were carried out to not just simply kill some Deathscale Pangolins.

Boom!

Boom Boom!

Three Fatal Frost Crystals suddenly exploded among the Frost Arrow shower, bursting out tens of thousands of tiny ice spines in the middle of the Pangolin Army. More and more Deathscale Pangolins fell to the sand lifelessly!

The Fatal Frost Crystals were already quite powerful themselves but after topping their offensive capabilities with a Darkfrost Potion and a Special Roasted Snail, their deadliness went off the chart!

Several dozens of Deathscale Pangolins had their bodies pierced through by these crystals freezing ice crystals formed in their wounds and then swiftly spread to the rest of their bodies and limbs.

It was not all, as these Pangolins were dashing back to their Overlord with full force. Their lifeless bodies, still carrying all the momentum, crashed into their brethren and the Jebel Pangolin. The strike forces formation crumbled instantaneously after being rammed by these corpses.

As soon as the threat was dissolved, Qin Ruo quickly charged up another surge of Mana but seeing that the Overlord Boss was still hesitantly standing on the beach, a bout of relief was felt in his mind.

With a quick wave, a surge of Mana beamed up in his enchanted Frost Witchs Rage!

At the meantime, seeing the enemies collapsing like this, the fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants morale soared up too. Standing firmly in the oceans water, they raised up their heads and shot out their AoE Shadow Saliva!

Fourteen black streams of ashen liquid gushed out to the sky and formed a gigantic black liquid net. It then descended and enveloped the several dozen Frozen Deathscale Pangolins.

The Shadow Saliva was Shadow Soldier Ants Gifted Magic; it had not only Magic properties but also contained corrosive acid, making it quite deadly. In mere seconds, over half of the Pangolins were killed by the toxic black liquid net.

In just one attack, Qin Ruos scores had now soared up by 4,000 points; his ranking now jumped by 200,000 from 800,000 to 600,000

However,Qin Ruo was not interested in such a minor leap in the rankings.

He needed to kill as many Deathscale Pangolins as he could before their Overlord Boss decided to act.

He then quickly stepped forward and hurled out a Frozen Realm Magic Scroll towards the Deathscale Pangolins, who were striking back from the shores. In fact, he hadnt prepared for them to retaliate this early.

A surge of freezing air emerged and engulfed the first dozen pangolins that were dashing on the frontline

Slowly stepping back into his Shadow Soldier Ants formation, Qin Ruo and his summoned ants stood outside of the range of the Frozen Realm. It felt as though there were two completely different worlds between the beach and the ocean surface.

***

The Frozen Realm and corrosive black liquid net had killed more and more Deathscale Pangolins by the second.

Now, there were only seventy or more Deathscale Pangolins left. Lifeless corpses of pangolins could be seen strewn everywhere on the beach.

On the other hand, Qin Ruo had not sustained any damage at all. Having their spirits uplifted, his fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants were also shooting AoE magic attacks continuously at the enemies ahead

It was a huge crisis for the Jebel Pangolin!

Roarrr!!

A loud thundering roar could be heard from the Jebel Pangolin yet again!

This noble untouchable Overlord Boss finally couldnt hold it in anymore after seeing two of its armies being obliterated like this!

Pound! Pound! Pound! Pound!!

As the land trembled harder and harder, Qin Ruo could feel the thumping anger and hatred in Jebel Pangolins footstepsit couldnt wait to tear him to pieces!

Qin Ruo was waiting for this very moment. Letting out a smirk, Qin Ruo caped his body with his wings and submerged into the waters

The fourteen Shadow Soldier Ants hastily followed suit, splashing their bodies into the tidal waves and submerging into the sea.

This essentially removed any obstacles for the Deathscale Pangolins on the shore from pursuing the human Aquamancer. In an instant, their sharp blade-like scales stood up on their bodies! They furiously tailed their Overlord Boss, Jebel Pangolin, and pursued their targets into the waters. They furiously gave chase to the Shadow Soldier Ants.

They wanted to avenge their brethren!

Blood for blood!

As he lay stealthily in the waters, looking at the seventy Deathscale Pangolins entering the water and dismembering the Shadow Soldier Ants one by one, he slowly took out two Mana Cores and started to pump Mana into them
