Chapter 738 - Successful Retreat
The jellyfish felt the power of the gunshot and tried shedding its souls to block it. But no matter how many souls it released, they didn’t stand a chance against the attack.
The sacrificed souls still bought the jellyfish some time as it boosted itself higher, hoping to get out of the range of the shot.
While its main body managed to steer clear, one of the hanging tentacles was caught in the effect of Prelude to Elimination.
Angor could clearly feel the negative energy gathering on the tentacle being cleansed.
The jellyfish immediately decided to abandon the affected tentacle to keep its main body safe. But it did so too late—the special sound wave created by Prelude to Elimination might not travel very fast in the air, but once it reached the negative energy on the jellyfish, it almost instantly spread to its entire body and began erasing the dark energy at great speed.
“So it IS an undead after all?” Angor frowned while watching the strange creature visibly shrinking.
Prelude to Elimination was a specialized tool to kill undead creatures. In a matter of seconds, the giant jellyfish lost most of its mass.
In the last moment of its existence, the monster released a thick spirit energy beam from the center of its “umbrella” toward the sky.
“Welcome back, sir!” Helen was more than glad to see Angor’s return.
The sailors still looked exhausted, but Angor’s presence combined with the bright sunlight at Death Loop was enough to help them recover.
“Mister Padt, is that… thing, dead?” Erwin joined them on slow steps. It seemed the captain wasn’t doing very well either.
Angor nodded. “It was already dead by the time you saw it. Guess I just killed it for a second time.”
The others didn’t fully understand what those words meant, but they were glad to know that the jellyfish wouldn’t be troubling them again.
“We’ll stick to the original plan. I’ll solve the temperature problem later today,” he said to Helen and returned to his cabin without giving the sailors a chance to ask more questions.
