The fact that Pulapa could hold out until now showed its proficiency with the rhythm of the sea, truly befitting a Half-Blood Demon of the Water System.
Five minutes later, Pulapa still hadn’t left the Illusionary Realm, and suspicion began to grow in Angel’s eyes—could it be that it would persist until it met the Sea Goddess?
Two minutes later, a thick mist began to emanate from around Pulapa’s body.
And with the naked eye, one could see the mist growing denser at a visible rate.
Upon seeing this, Angel’s expression turned blank for a moment. He could now be sure that even if Pulapa hadn’t climbed onto the Turtle Shell where the Sea Goddess resided, it had certainly seen her!
This rapid improvement in Water System affinity was unprecedented.
Angel was now also certain of one thing: the Ocean Rhythm was not only effective for wizards but also worked on Water System demons. Moreover, the effect was even more powerful than on ordinary wizards!
Even Fafnir, who had been pretending to sleep on the windowsill, couldn’t help but open his eyes.
“Why is it so damp? Eh, what’s happening to it… Its strength is actually increasing?” Fafnir looked at the blue-skinned Half-Blood Demon with some surprise and skepticism. Before, she was clearly aware of how weak Pulapa was—it couldn’t even beat those despicable humans, but in a short period, Pulapa’s strength had soared dramatically?!
It was as if it had broken through some barrier, or rather, Pulapa had been at a bottleneck, and once broken through, its enhancement was explosive.
A minute later, Pulapa finally emerged from the Illusionary Realm of the Ocean Rhythm.
“O exalted deity, please let me serve you…” Pulapa muttered strange words as its eyes slowly opened.
Upon opening its eyes, it saw the young shop owner smiling warmly at him across the way, “I’m certainly not a deity. It seems you had a great harvest this time… How is it, did this journey of experience not disappoint you?”
Pulapa was about to nod and say something when it suddenly felt a burgeoning force inside, growing explosively.
It hesitated for a moment, as if realizing something, its expression revealed ecstatic joy, and it immediately closed its eyes to feel that magnificent power.
As Pulapa quietly contemplated, the mist around its body became even more condensed, to the point that droplets began to fall.
Like before, these droplets turned into crystal blue beads upon hitting the ground.
Without waiting for a reminder from Fafnir, Angel began to actively collect these condensed blue beads. These beads could keep meat fresh for a long time while also enhancing its flavor, and were a favorite amongst Gourmet Sorcerers.
“It works so well on demons, enhancing them so much…” Angel muttered to himself, “I’m at too much of a loss with this deal. I’ve nurtured a little demon that is hostile to humans. Let’s consider these ethereal water beads as compensation.”
As Angel was muttering, a water-blue glow flickered inside Pulapa’s body and shot straight into the sky.
The entire eastern part of Lassudral could see the celestial river-like blue light projection in the sky.
The sight of this to demons clearly meant something: a Water System demon had made a breakthrough. Yet gauging by the range of the blue light projection, it had only reached the level of a minor demon.
As a result, many demons simply sneered and laughed it off.
But there were also some particularly curious demons who, following the radiance in the sky, cast their gaze toward the location of the ‘Enchanted’ cabin…
While outside disturbances arose, Angel at this moment was looking at the Half-Blood Demon opposite him with eyes filled with envy.
Not long ago, this Half-Blood Demon was at most at a peak Apprentice’s level, and now it had broken through to the Official Wizard Level.
“Is the Ocean Rhythm really that powerful? Isn’t it just about improving Water System affinity?” Angel was full of doubts. He had experimented with the Ocean Rhythm countless times but had never thought it could directly enhance strength.
“This Half-Blood Demon was already at a critical point of breakthrough. The weak Bloodline of the Abyssal imp hindered it, making it difficult to advance any further. Your Ocean Rhythm, though it only enhances Water System affinity, gave the suppressed power within it an outlet for release. It’s only natural there would be such a significant improvement,” Fafnir explained, looking towards the Ocean Rhythm artifact in Angel’s hands. Although she knew it could enhance Water System affinity, she hadn’t anticipated such a big stir, advancing a Half-Blood Demon directly to its parent’s level.
It seems the Ocean Rhythm artifact isn’t as simple as she had imagined.
Fafnir took a deep look at Angel, this seemingly frail being amongst humans, who indeed had many secrets.
To bring out an item even Baltica, that swindler, was willing to trade for, and now to present something that greatly attracted Water System demons, was telling.
