Watching the "Adam" whose head she had crushed turn into a cold corpse, and then gradually dissipate, the Sea Witch's face was ashen.
After such a delay, she no longer held any hope of finding and catching the two people who had escaped on the soul-guided speedboat.
How difficult would it be to find such a small target in the vast sea?
Although she had retrieved the "Pearl of the Sea" and her sister's body, she had not killed a single one of her enemies!
In her mind, she had three enemies: the black-clad man who had absorbed the soul ring, the "Adam" who had stolen the "Pearl of the Sea" and lured Hai Yun here, and the main culprit who killed her sister, the main body of that thread clone.
The reason she so decisively chose to kill the three people on the island first, instead of chasing after them, was not only because of the "Pearl of the Sea" and Hai Yun's body, but also because two of her enemies were still on the island.
But the disappearing corpses of Amon and "Adam" undoubtedly slapped her in the face.
The empty "Wave-Breaking Shuttle" beneath her swayed with the waves, as if silently mocking her incompetence.
The guilt of not protecting her sister, the regret of letting her enemies escape, and the shame of being played, made the anger in the Sea Witch's heart rise continuously.
She let out a piercing scream, and her mental power and soul power swept in all directions, centered on her.
The terrifying power caused the sea to freeze.
When she withdrew her soul power, the sea surface was covered with fish and shrimp that had died from being unable to withstand the pressure.
Sea soul beasts with a little strength also scrambled to escape, not daring to stay here.
"Did you hear that sound?" Walter asked in a low voice in the dark space.
"Heh... probably that Sea Witch couldn't find anyone and is venting her unwillingness and anger," Amon said, pinching his monocle, his expression relaxed.
At this moment, the two of them were not on the sea surface, but in the deep sea.
Walter did not place his hope on the soul-guided speedboat. During the days of waiting for "Adam", he had hunted a whale and turned its corpse into his puppet.
After leaving the deserted island for a distance using the soul guide, he controlled the whale's corpse and swallowed the two of them.
The speedboat on the sea surface was handed over to one of Amon's clones to drive.
While driving the speedboat in an uncertain direction, Amon's clone also continuously scattered clones to interfere with the Sea Witch's subsequent pursuit.
But their preparations seemed superfluous, as the Sea Witch did not continue to pursue.
Amon's main body and Walter used the whale puppet to slowly sail towards the mainland.
They did not plan to return to Hanhai City.
There were many sea soul masters in Hanhai City who had inextricable connections with Sea God Island. Going to Hanhai City would risk exposure and attract pursuit.
So they decided to find a place to land at random, and then immediately return to the inland.
"Tsk... overestimated her."
After not receiving any news of Amon's clone's death for a long time, Amon, who was driving the speedboat on the sea surface, retrieved the clones one by one along the mental connection.
Several hours passed, and a strange wave descended. At this moment, all the Amons felt an invisible shackle on their bodies being broken.
They adjusted the monocle on their right eyes in different postures, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly, outlining a smile.
The main body has broken through to the Soul King realm!
When Amon's clone leveled up by exploiting a bug, it would increase its soul power to the limit each time. Therefore, when the shackles were broken, they immediately condensed soul rings and leveled up to level 41.
Amon, who was driving the soul-guided speedboat, opened his eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
He saw the Sea Witch standing on the sea, looking at him expressionlessly.
Careless... so many clones gathered together, the commotion during the breakthrough was a bit too big, and attracted her...
Soon, the smile returned to his face, with a bit of mockery and playfulness, he said:
"The taste of your sister is really good."
The Sea Witch flicked her fishtail and smashed Amon and the speedboat into pieces.
Although she had killed Amon again, there was no joy on her face.
Seeing Amon's corpse gradually fade and eventually disappear, the Sea Witch remained very calm, but her expression was more solemn than ever before.
She hadn't realized it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, she understood the terror of this strange guy wearing a black robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye.
They, or rather... he, were also the ones who attacked the mermaid village before.
Each one possessed the strength of a Soul Ancestor, had self-awareness, and could act independently.
In the end, he was killed but left nothing behind... a bit like a soul skill creating a clone, rather than a real human.
But, can a soul skill really achieve such an effect? That would be too terrifying!
The main body is hidden at an unknown distance, and the clones can act freely and wreak havoc...
Not only that, but the clones seem to be able to level up. The one who created panic in the mermaid village before clearly only had the strength of a Soul Ancestor, but the one who was killed by me just now had the strength of a Soul Elder!
The soul power fluctuation that attracted me also seemed like the fluctuation produced when absorbing a soul ring and breaking through...
Or did his main body kill Hai Yun and absorb her soul ring, so he broke through, and then the clones became stronger along with him? The Sea Witch thought in her heart.
But why would he go to such great lengths to kill Hai Yun? If it was really just for a soul ring, is it worth spending so much effort?
Wouldn't it be better to hunt stronger soul beasts with the energy he invested in this?
The Sea Witch's mind was in chaos, with thousands of thoughts. A faint sense of panic also rose in her heart, as if a huge shadow was lurking, slowly approaching Sea God Island.
She glanced at the deep sea, and for the first time felt that the sea was so unfamiliar, so terrifying, as if there were demons in the ocean that could devour everything.
The Sea Witch fled from this place of trouble, planning to report this incident to Poseidon after taking the "Pearl of the Sea" and her sister's body back to the mermaid village.
Sensing that the Amons sent to attract attention had all suddenly died after gathering together, although no information was transmitted from the dead clones, his main body still guessed the truth.
The clones would gather together again after dispersing, so it was probably judged that there was no danger.
Then they all died after breaking through, which should be that the breakthrough fluctuations attracted something...
It may be the Sea Witch who had not gone far, or some kind of powerful sea soul beast...
Amon restrained the aura around him and suppressed the escaping soul power fluctuations.
Because when the main body broke through, all the clones also broke through. At this time, there were no clones that could maintain the first soul skill, causing the soul power fluctuations during his breakthrough to be sensed by others.
Learning from this lesson, Amon decided that in the future, when the main body was about to absorb a new soul ring, he would split off one or two low-level Worms of Times, the kind that would not be driven to break through even if the main body broke through.
They would be used specifically to maintain the first soul skill, stealing the "expressiveness" of the soul power during his breakthrough, so as to better hide himself.
