The Wise Kama

“Damn!”

A giant cannon dozens of times larger than himself was aiming right at him. Terror instantly washed over Doncic, cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

Under the threat of death, Doncic did not hesitate for a single second, instantly flooding his legs with all of his arcane power.

He unleashed the escape techniques he was most skilled at as a rogue as if they cost nothing. Doncic's figure flashed, instantly turning into a streak of rainbow light that vanished into the horizon.

His fleeing speed was so fast that even the Eye Kama, pushing itself to its absolute limit, couldn't keep track of him.

Beneath the sea, that colossal, island-shattering heavy cannon merely locked onto the direction Doncic was fleeing from afar, without actually firing.

According to the calculations of the Kama mother hive, spending such an energy-intensive projectile just to secure the corpse of a Diamond-rank enemy was highly inefficient.

Besides, there was no guarantee a corpse would even be left behind.

Having dealt with the tail following the Eye Kama, the ultra-giant Kama, resembling a magic whale beast, closed its massive cannon muzzle at the top and sank back underwater with a gurgle.

Meanwhile, the Eye Kama took a detour, leading the remaining Kama toward a hidden islet to find a Mana-Supplier Kama to replenish their mana.

Meanwhile, on the thirteenth layer of the Abyss.

In a hidden corner that no adventurer had ever discovered.

Thump! Thump!

Loud, massive heartbeats echoed one after another inside a colossal chamber of flesh and blood.

The 【Wise Kama】 produced by the mother hive was expressionlessly analyzing the data sent back by the Eye Kama, which served as a node Kama.

“Name: Leon.”

“Rank: Silver—non-Silver performance detected, correcting.”

“Rank: Gold rank—current combat performance is at the mid stage of the Gold rank.”

“Analyzing combat methods...”

“Vitality: extremely abundant!”

“Mastery of transcendent power: extremely powerful!”

“Flesh-and-blood allure: extremely exquisite!”

“Conclusion: If we can digest Leon, the mother hive will be significantly enhanced!”

“Action: Continue dispatching Kama to capture Leon alive.”

Thump! Thump!

The heart inside the mother hive beat violently, clearly agreeing with the Wise Kama's conclusion.

Hearing the mother hive's agreement, the Wise Kama continued its analysis:

“Analyzing Leon's attack methods... Analysis complete. His attack method consists of a silver longbow firing powerful arrows...”

“Transcendent parameters of the silver longbow are as follows... Physical parameters are as follows...”

“Transcendent parameters of the arrows are as follows... Physical parameters are as follows...”

Following the Wise Kama's analysis, the mother hive's heart throbbed. Soon, a five-meter-tall Kama holding a massive longbow in one hand and a giant hammer in the other stepped out.

This Kama notched the hammer onto the bowstring and drew it back with all its might...

Thud~

The hammer didn't fly very far before dropping straight to the ground, losing all momentum.

“Strength too low, unable to impart sufficient power to the projectile. Correcting parameters...”

With the Wise Kama's corrections, new Kama walked out one after another.

And then.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Either the Kama's strength was insufficient to shoot the hammer projectile,

or the strength was too great, snapping the bowstring.

or the bowstring was sufficiently resilient, but the shot hammer flew too slowly, resulting in insufficient attack power.

or, after the hammer was launched, it couldn't maintain its flight posture, tumbling in midair and losing its kinetic force.

This series of failures caused the Wise Kama's rapidly processing, oversized head to grow hotter and hotter.

It ran its thoughts at high speed, and after a long time, it finally adjusted all the parameters perfectly.

And the hammer that flew out indeed did not disappoint the Wise Kama.

However, this lack of disappointment only lasted for half a second.

Because after half a second, the hammer flying with massive kinetic energy suffered a sharp drop in momentum due to air resistance.

Over a hundred meters away, its power had decayed to a tenth of what it was when it left the bowstring.

“Re... analyzing... and... correcting... parameters...”

Failing again, the Wise Kama once more followed its previous instructions, spinning its massive brain to correct the parameters.

And then.

Bang!

The Wise Kama's brain exploded from the inside due to the extreme heat, spraying scalding blood all over the mother hive.

Thump~

The mother hive's beating heart skipped a beat at this moment.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A minute later, another Wise Kama stepped up to take the place of the previous one.

However, this Wise Kama's analytical direction was no longer the 'longbow + hammer' combination, which completely defied the laws of physics and transcendence...

...

“Is this what you meant by 'leave it to me, don't worry'?”

Leon looked at Doncic, who had rushed back, and asked with narrowed eyes.

Doncic rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and explained:

“There was a slight accident...”

Doncic also felt it was incredibly bizarre. His stealth techniques should be among the very best in the Diamond rank.

Yet, over these past few days, he had been seen through by Leon and then by that Eye Kama, which completely shattered his self-confidence.

After being sensed by Leon, he had been directly subdued by his teacher, losing face big time.

And this time, being discovered by that Eye Kama, he had almost failed to return...

If Doncic hadn't realized something was wrong and fled immediately, and if that giant Kama resembling a magic whale beast hadn't felt like killing him—Doncic figured his life might not even be worth the cost of firing that oversized heavy cannon once.

Otherwise, there was a high probability he wouldn't have made it back.

Doncic had never expected that simply tracking a tiny Kama monster would lead him into such a perilous situation...

Hearing Doncic's recount, Leon sighed, though he wasn't too disappointed.

After all, the extraordinary nature of the Kama species was already evident from the +30 experience points on his panel.

Leon just hadn't expected that the Kama species would actually have such a colossal giant Kama in the deep sea.

“Is it because it's too big to come ashore?”

Leon speculated. If that was the case, then he didn't need to worry too much.

Aside from that giant Kama, the existing Kama types alone couldn't pose a threat to him.

Moreover, now that he had the mana-recovery linkage trait, he wasn't afraid of a sea of people... no, a sea of Kama attacks at all!

As long as their individual strength was insufficient, no matter how many Kama came, they would just be delivery boys giving him free experience!

Drawing back his thoughts, Leon led his group back to Jellyfish Town.

Just as they stepped into the gathering point on the outskirts of Jellyfish Town, the staying Falcon warriors and Jellyfish Town's mayor, Zachary, quickly rushed forward to meet them.

Before the Falcon warriors could speak, Zachary said with a crying face:

“Young Master Leon, my manor... is gone!”
