Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 835: 263. Turn turn turn turn_3

The good news was that he would be able to complete the Passive Deconstruction of the four-piece sea area before the effects of the medicine wore off.

From now on, the next 20 minutes would be the most critical period for Noland Lee.

Once the 20 minutes were up, the degree of deconstruction would reach 100%, and Noland Lee could immediately summon Denise Green to take him away.

To ensure that he was not affected by the sirens and the Mantas family, Noland Lee felt it necessary to take some action.

He reached into his magic pouch and fumbled for a bit before taking out a metal magic tool.

This thing was dull in color and looked like a cobblestone made of metal.

Once activated, it could form an invisible magic barrier around Noland Lee.

This magic barrier could block detection and sight from the outside while preventing the sounds and energy waves emitted by Noland Lee from being detected by those outside the barrier, including the sirens.

Metal Mage Pryne, who had companion witches, had used this magic tool and an illusion ring disguised as a tree to ambush Noland Lee on the outer ring isles.

After Noland Lee took Pryne out in a second with “Psychic Bombardment” and properly settled the troubled Resurrection Witch Latifa, the metal magic tool that could shield from detection naturally fell into his hands.

Noland Lee poured soul energy into the artifact to activate it.

An invisible magic barrier enveloped Noland Lee.

[System Message:]

[You are under the influence of an “Anti-detection Magic Barrier.”]

[While you are within the barrier, most spells and magical items will not be able to detect your presence.] noveldrama

[However, the effect of the “Anti-detection Magic Barrier” may be reduced against detection methods from the science and alchemy sides.]

Noland Lee glanced at the system text and took out a magic scroll.

This magic scroll was made by Selena, and it recorded a deep-sea spell named “Sea Water Refraction Technique.”

After tearing the magic scroll, a water-blue spell radiance projected onto Noland Lee’s body, flowing rapidly along the surface of his body like water.

About ten seconds later, Noland Lee’s body, which was more than 10 meters long, merged with the surrounding seawater environment and entered a highly deceptive invisibility status.

This was the only underwater stealth method that Noland Lee could employ without using the “Dread Scale Invisibility Technique.”

Its invisibility effect was comparable to that of the “Dread Scale Invisibility Technique” at the same level.

However, Noland Lee couldn’t move; any movement would force him to leave the state of invisibility.

“I should be able to shield myself from the sirens’ prying eyes by doing this, right…”

Noland Lee maintained “Perception Enhancement.”

He calmed his mind and felt around for a few seconds but detected no prying eyes.

“Very well, just keep it like this. As long as the sirens have nothing better to do than venture into the cave, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be discovered…”

“Whirl, whirl…”

“Whirl, whirl…”

Just as Noland Lee was silently praying, he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the cave entrance.

“Ah damn, I really jinxed it…”

Noland Lee’s mouth twitched, and he sent out several “Tracking Marks” and “Mind View,” glancing at the scene at the cave entrance.

In his magic vision, figures of sirens appeared.

They were well-armored, exceptionally strong, and at least seven meters long. When they moved through the water, they looked like black pythons clad in armor.

Noland Lee furrowed his brows and compared these sirens with the ones he had killed before, unable to make a match.

With a casting of Deconstruction, Noland Lee knew what kind of characters he had encountered.

These four sirens were not slave soldier breeds of the Sirens Kingdom.

They were regular troops called “Dreadscale Vanguard,” a type of siren soldier specialized in scouting missions, a higher-ranking breed than the Tide Hunters.

Tide Hunters were slave soldier breeds of the Sirens Kingdom, with combat levels ranging from level 30 to level 40.

The combat level of the Dreadscale Vanguard started from level 50 at least.

This meant that in an underwater environment, their combat strength was about the same as a Five-Ring Battle Wizard on land.

Ten scouting teams, each made up of four Dreadscale Vanguards, entered the cave where Noland Lee was.

After some thought, Noland Lee turned off “Mind View” and dispelled the “Tracking Marks.”

“Whirl~”

The scouting team of Dreadscale Vanguards scattered in all directions, exploring the rugged tunnel of the cave.

“Whirl~”

“Whirl~”

The sound of the water current grew closer and closer.

Noland Lee quietly activated “Life and Death Tracking” and saw a scouting team quickly approaching his position.

In his magic vision, the outlines of the Dreadscale Vanguard’s bodies were bright red, full of vitality.

Their tails flexed and flicked behind them, propelling their bodies forward.

As the distance between them closed, Noland Lee’s heartbeat inevitably sped up.

“Whirl~~~”

The sound of the water was right by his ear now.

Four sirens with thick tails swam past the front of the tunnel where Noland Lee was.

They scanned the inside of the tunnel with their inverted triangular eyes, then retracted their indifferent yet bloodthirsty gazes and moved on.

“Hmm, very good, very good. The Anti-detection Magic Barrier and Selena’s ‘Sea Water Refraction Technique’ worked.”

Noland Lee watched as the four Dreadscale Vanguards left, and he heaved a silent sigh of relief.

“Crack, crack…”

His bones, unable to bear the immense pressure of the water, emitted faint cracking sounds.

Noland Lee felt intense pain but forcibly held back the urge to cry out or groan.

He then took another look at the four Dreadscale Vanguards.

They hadn’t heard the sound coming from Noland Lee’s body and were still exploring deeper into the cave.

Noland Lee gritted his teeth, suppressing the pain from his bones.
