Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 832: 262. Speed Up Underwater_6

His stature swelled again and again, approaching the ten-meter mark.

“Crack, crack, crack…” The bones throughout his body burst with sounds akin to firecrackers.

“RUA!”

Noland Lee clenched his fist hard and abruptly spread his arms wide open, letting out a controlled low growl underwater.

Accompanying his action, the surrounding sea water surged violently.

Tiny particles floating in the sea were flipped upside down.

“Whew—refreshing.”

Noland Lee looked down at his own body; it took him a full second to find the backs of his feet ten meters away…

“‘Power Burst’ plus a disposable Biochemical Giant Inducing Potion is truly awesome.”

Noland Lee lifted his arm, looking over an arm that could rival a 300mm cannon barrel.

Look at these muscles, look at these lines; killing ten cows with a single punch wouldn’t be a problem.

Noland Lee rubbed the exceptionally hard muscle, feeling as if what he was holding wasn’t flesh at all, but more like hard magic metal.

With a body of this caliber, he should be able to withstand the deeper water pressure, shouldn’t he?

Noland Lee took some time to adapt and turned around to dive directly towards a zone without a hint of light.

“Glug, glug, glug…”

The sea water churned.

After diving to an unknown depth in a single breath, Noland Lee touched the seabed covered in white stones.

He groped around the seabed and found the entrance to a cave system.

After checking the caves with “Tracking Mark” and “Mind View”, he decisively stepped in and continued diving down the spacious tunnel.

Finally, in the pitch-black cave where he couldn’t see the sea surface, Noland Lee once again felt as if he was “wearing a tight suit.”

This was a sign that his body’s resistance to water pressure was nearing its limit.

If he went any deeper, even with his current physique, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the water pressure.

Noland Lee kept his body at the boundary of the Four-Piece Sea Area and began his grand endeavor of Passive Deconstruction.

Similarly, practicing the Meditation Method, absorbing mana, enduring water pressure, and swallowing sea water—he didn’t miss any of the four-line operations.

Only this time, the messages from the System had some very significant changes.

[Attention!]

[The current difficulty of practicing the ‘Deep Sea Scales Meditation’ is 101 times the normal situation.]

[The ‘Deep Sea Scales’ Meditation Method’s consumption and training results increased by 100 times.]

[The environment bonus for absorbing deep sea magic power is 100 times.]

[The damage caused by withstanding water pressure and swallowing sea water has significantly increased.]

[Since your body has not been digitized, the System cannot provide specific data related to damage.]

Noland Lee quickly scanned the System texts and then pushed them aside.

The so-called “difficulty of training” increased by however many times, that sort of data, he knew roughly was enough; there was no need to obsess over calculating it.

As long as he stays in these depths of the sea water for 10 minutes, then he would naturally know how fast the passive deconstruction progressed.

The 10-minute wait passed with one heavy breath after another.

Sounds of his bones suffering under the immense pressure of sea water came from within Noland Lee’s body, and the System text appeared in his mind.

[Passive Deconstruction Successful!]

[Your degree of deconstruction of the ‘Four-Piece Sea Area’ has risen from 8.7% to 28.5%.]

Noland Lee’s eyes widened, and his heartbeat slowed for a moment.

How much? From 8.7% to 28.5%?!

Isn’t that a whole 19.8% increase at once?!

‘Power Burst’ and the disposable Biochemical Giant Inducing Potion, when combined, are simply a lethal weapon for passively deconstructing the sea area!

Noland Lee didn’t allow the surge of excitement to linger for too long.

He quickly subdued his restless heart.

“It seems that I made the right decision in getting the Tatis Biochemical Elixir from Morster. Once I go back, I’m going to write to Morster again and have him sell me a few more disposables of the Biochemical Giant Inducing Potion.”

Noland Lee shook his head in amazement.

He had not anticipated such a significant utility for the Mutagenic Agent, which he had initially considered a minor trump card.

The pity was that such a Mutagenic Agent, which increased the speed of Passive Deconstruction to such a great extent, could only be injected once every 36 days.

This mutagenic agent was not the low-grade stuff used by Military Officers; it was stronger in effectiveness and had more severe side effects.

Generally speaking, if one were injected twice within 36 days, not even a Ten Rings Natural System Wizard could save them. noveldrama

Noland Lee naturally wouldn’t ruin his own body for a short burst of heightened power.

Of course, he wouldn’t tempt fate by claiming he “definitely won’t encounter an enemy in the future that forces him to take two injections in a row.”

He had so many ace cards up his sleeve that it would never come to the point where he’d need to rely on taking two doses of the mutagenic agent for help.

Time passed as Noland Lee operated on four different fronts.

He planned to push the degree of deconstruction to 100% in one go, and then summon Denise Green to take him away.

Just as Noland Lee was enjoying the tight sensation caused by the water pressure, several strange sounds traveled to his ears along the tunnel of the cave.

“Glug~”

“Glug~”

The sounds were faint, containing a pattern, as if the water was being stirred artificially.

Because the sound transmission properties of water are so good, Noland Lee could clearly make out these sounds despite being in the middle of the cave.

“Hmm? It seems like someone is diving…”

Noland Lee’s brows furrowed tightly, he looked up at the ceiling, his gaze piercing through the seafloor and landing on the “Tracking Mark” he had placed outside the cave.

With a cast of “Mind View,” Noland Lee, through his Magic Vision, saw the situation at the cave entrance.

There were a few figures, slowly swimming underwater, relying on a spell to relieve water pressure.

“Strange… Just now there were peculiar sounds underwater, but why can’t we find anything after circling around?” the swimming figures whispered to each other as they searched left and right.

“That sound seemed to come from some deep sea creature. Look, there’s a cave right here. Could the deep sea creature have run inside?”

“It shouldn’t have… Well, at least when I came here last time, there were no deep sea creatures inside, nor many seabed animals.”

After listening to the conversation of the others, Noland Lee immediately turned off “Mind View.”

Well…

This is awkward…

He had just injected an elixir, and then activated “Power Burst,” unable to help but let out a few roars.

The Mantas Family wizards now hovering around the cave entrance must have been attracted by the sounds Noland Lee had made.

Presumably, there must be an important person from the Mantas Family aboard the large Magic Mechanical Ship, which is why the others were so vigilant, daring to explore the depths of the sea to check.

Noland Lee pursed his lips and reminded himself to be more careful in the future.

“Glug~”

“Glug~”

The sound of stirring water gradually faded into the distance.

Noland Lee cast “Mind View” again to check and was reassured in his heart.

“Whew~ I’m lucky. Those Mantas Family wizards don’t seem to want to explore deep into the cave; they’re all heading back the way they came.”

Noland Lee watched as the Mantas Family wizards left.

The figures of the others quickly vanished into the waters above.

Noland Lee was just about to activate “Soul Perception” and chat with Denise Green when he saw a patch of green radiance light up far in the seabed

The radiance was dense and erratic, faint and dim, barely noticeable to those above the sea surface, yet alarmingly green…

“Huh, is it always this lively underwater at night?”

Noland Lee widened his eyes, staring through the Magic Vision for a few seconds.

He couldn’t be mistaken, that was the light from several dozen Pirate Ships.

To be precise, it was the light emitted from the Diving Magic Arrays on the Pirate Ships, operating under high load.

This type of Diving Magic Array, which worked exceptionally well underwater, conflicted with the Invisibility Magic Array on the energy reaction level.

For this reason, besides using the depth of the sea water to evade human sight, Sirens could at best cover the green light of the array with armor plates.

But no matter how they covered it, some light would inevitably leak out.

A feeling of unease began to grow in Noland Lee’s mind.

To add fuel to the fire, in his Magic Vision, he saw a large underwater sailing ship, a Large Pirate Ship remodeled from a Large Magic Machinery Ship.

For a pirate team of this scale, there must be some significant individuals from the Sirens Kingdom aboard that large pirate vessel.

Noland Lee made a quick estimate.

In about another 50 minutes, he should be able to push the degree of deconstruction to 100%.

Hopefully, nothing chaotic would emerge…
