The transformation of the little wolfhound was noticed not only by Gauss, but also by the large wolf beast.

"Activate the Hardened Scale Bloodline."

The emerald color in Gauss’s eyes faded, replaced by a touch of noble gold.

The wolf beast took a small step back.

It sensed that the aura emitted from the distant, small-sized enemy had changed, in a way it couldn’t understand.

Gauss activated his innate flying instinct. After the Flying Skill was fully enhanced, he burst out with incredible speed, propelling him swiftly through the air.

This was the first time Gauss had fully exerted the Flying Skill since receiving this talent.

The rate of Magic Power consumption was much greater than normal flying; it was as if the Magic Power inside him was burning fiercely like ignited diesel.

Before his eyes, various landscapes were left behind at a terrifying speed.

He casually slashed the small wolves along the way.

Heading straight for the main target!

The figure of the wolf beast enlarged rapidly in his eyes.

He could even see his own reflection in its ghostly green eyes.

"Boom!!!"

Gauss swung down the Water Sword from above.

The Holy Water in his hand seemed to have already sensed the irreconcilable evil force from the wolf beast ahead, and its light became even more dazzling.

"Slash!"

The slender water blade, shimmering with the Light Spell, cut into the head of the wolf beast.

Gauss immediately felt the heavy force transmitted from his hand.

The wolf beast’s entire body seemed to be ignited.

It released a bloodthirsty power, clashing with the piercing water below.

Two forces, one blue and one red, crazily impacted each other.

Gauss’s hair and robe flapped loudly due to the surging air, and the evil turbulence continuously blasted against the protective field around him.

He squinted slightly, feeling a slight sting on the side of his cheeks, but instead of dodging, he increased the force pressing down with his hand by a few more notches.

On the other hand, the wolf beast was not in a good state either.

Its teeth bit down hard, drawing blood.

The water blade pressing down on its head kept adding pressure, creating an aura that instinctively invoked a sense of fear in it.

The near-immortal regeneration ability it relied on also seemed suppressed under that force.

The ground beneath its feet shattered inch by inch.

It’s not that it didn’t want to launch a claw attack or bite at Gauss, who was so close.

But the water blade above forced it to muster all its strength to resist. If it diverted any effort away, it might be struck down by Gauss before it could even attack him.

Gauss noticed that his water blade continued to cut through its defenses, slicing into its flesh bit by bit.

The blood-red energy in the air also did its utmost to flow into the wolf beast’s body during this process.

The Holy Water indeed suppressed the demon’s power, but it could only restrain it, not deal a single decisive blow to the enemy.

First, this Holy Water was just a small part of the origin that the Lake God divided as a gift, not the Lake God arriving personally.

Second, the power that a weapon can exert ultimately depends on its wielder.

Resisting the power from the Demon Lord Yenogu at level 5 was already a remarkable feat, a result of a fully stacked array of buffs. Even a Master Level Professional wouldn’t have much advantage.

They would merely fare worse in the face of this evil.

Because this kind of foreign power was like a deadly poison to the vast majority of humans who had never encountered it; it was a very optimistic assumption to be able to bring out even fifty percent of their own strength.

"It’s indeed a bit tricky."

Gauss didn’t dare to suddenly withdraw his strength to make other adjustments.

When the degree of force clash reached a heated stage, any side that wasn’t steadfast enough would suffer a fierce backlash from the other.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!"

The Holy Water in Gauss’s hand continuously consumed its sacred power, forcing it to draw Magic Power from Gauss like a water pump.

The wolf beast was the same.

The surrounding killing blood mist gradually turned from a deep red to light red, and the energy around it even turned a faint pink. More distant blood mist kept flowing here, trying to fill this "vacuum" zone.

Just as the entire blood-colored world churned with turmoil because of the two.

Suddenly.

A sound like thunder resounded in the sky.

The originally blood-red sky split open in an instant.

Gauss couldn’t divert his attention to observe the changes in the sky, but he could feel that some drastic change occurred in this blood-colored world. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A trace of panic flashed deep in the giant wolf beast’s pupils.

"Huh?"

The water blade in Gauss’s hand quickly cut down two or three more blade widths.

Has the enemy weakened?

"Awooo—"

The wolf beast gritted its teeth, trying to launch a final counterattack.

But the upheaval in the world clearly affected it.

The power within it was rapidly draining, while the human enemy ahead seized this chance to hammer down. The water blade had already completely pierced into its body.

The surrounding blood mist was rapidly dissipating, and lacking the supporting environment, it lost its leverage to contend with Gauss.

Helplessly watching as it couldn’t reverse the situation.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in the wolf beast’s eyes.

"Swish!"

The slender azure water blade in Gauss’s hand swiftly split its head in two from top to bottom.

Numerous black gases spewed out from within.

Gauss steadied himself by leveraging the recoil from the water blade striking the ground.

Then swiftly he swung the water blade once, twice, thrice... ten times.

A dozen or so glistening Sword Qi emanated in front of him, striking the still-quivering wolf beast’s body.

Each Sword Qi rapidly dissolved its body, and the black gas dissipated in the air.
