Chapter 743: Chapter 706: The Whirlpool at the Bottom of the Lake!

The Demon Annihilation Cannon, emitting an intensely dazzling bright light, struck the top of the Dissolving Cave in an instant.

With a thunderous explosion, the Demon Annihilation Cannon effortlessly blasted a massive hole in the ceiling of the cave. The hole was over ten meters wide, perhaps not as big as the entrance to the deep pit, but almost the same size. Accompanying the sound of the explosion, innumerable large and small rocks rained down, but that wasn’t the important part. The key issue arose after the explosion ended, when the entire cave ceiling started to vibrate violently. Upon closer inspection, one could see fine streams of water squirting out amidst the tremors.

Initially, the jets of water were extremely fine, virtually undetectable, but in just a few seconds, these streams grew into powerful columns. The rocks at the top of the cave had already been damaged by the Demon Annihilation Cannon, either shattered or cracked, and thus, under the impact of the water, a large amount of rock collapsed. As more and more rocks were swept away, the whole cave ceiling seemed to cave in as cracks spread, and tumbling lake water gushed in soon after!

This all may sound slow, but it happened in the span of a few breaths. To Rocky and his companions, it was as if, almost immediately after the Demon Annihilation Cannon fired, a torrential flood of lake water surged into the Dissolving Cave.

Facing the oncoming rush of lake water, Rocky, making use of the last few seconds in full-power mode, channeled a copious amount of mana into the Magic Fang Scythe, then took the lead, charging straight into the incoming water. In the process, he slashed downward, employing the extraordinarily sharp edge of the Magic Fang Scythe, which was fully charged, to cleave the rush of water heading towards him!

To witness such a scene, let alone imagine it, would seem incredible, but Rocky accomplished it. Obviously, he wasn’t doing this to show off, but rather to reduce the impact force of the lake water.

The immense impact of the surging lake water goes without saying. Rocky’s White Demon Armor might be able to withstand it with its extraordinary capabilities, but Liliya and Dusa behind him were another matter entirely. Their armors were after all somewhat inferior to the White Demon Armor, and the same could be said even more so for He Nan. In reality, if it weren’t for Liliya and Dusa leading him, He Nan would have already been left behind by Rocky and the others. Under these circumstances, Rocky had to consider the three behind him.

And indeed, he accomplished it.

After splitting the oncoming water with a single slash, Rocky then charged into the large hole he had blown in the ceiling, leading the charge against the lake water and continually swinging the Magic Fang Scythe as if trying to churn the surging currents. His actions may have looked absurd, but the flow of lake water that entered the cave indeed slowed down a bit.

This gave Liliya and Dusa the opening they needed. The two, practically dragging He Nan with them, pushed their armors to the limit and, just like Rocky, charged into the hole in the top of the cave against the flood pouring into the Dissolving Cave.

With that, the four of them finally left the cave!

But leaving the cave didn’t mean they were out of danger, for their current location was underneath Red Water Lake. And because the lakebed had been blown open, creating a hole, the inflow of lake water into the cave generated a massive vortex, right where Rocky and his group emerged from the cave.

This was the great danger they now faced.

In the face of the vortex’s immense force, Liliya, He Nan, and Dusa had virtually no ability to resist. At this critical juncture, however, He Nan’s actions were admirable. His armor might not have been able to match Liliya’s and Dusa’s in terms of speed, but when they were about to be scattered by the whirlpool, He Nan simply grabbed onto the two of them, one in each hand, just holding onto Liliya and Dusa, preventing them from being immediately dispersed by the vortex. It was this action that allowed the trio to survive.

Because just when they seemed about to be overwhelmed, Rocky’s figure reappeared!

Facing the vortex’s daunting force, Rocky was also in grave danger, but he took advantage of the White Demon Armor’s exceptional capabilities, particularly the vast amount of mana generated in its full-power mode, to rapidly accelerate toward the trio. Then he grabbed He Nan and, with the three in tow, swiftly rushed towards the lake’s surface.

“Hang on…”

“Hang on…”

“Just hold on a little longer!”

Dragging the three of them and accelerating towards the lake surface, Rocky had clenched his teeth crown, for sprinting within the giant whirlpool was almost impossible for him as well – if the White Demon Armor hadn’t been in full state mode, even he wouldn’t have managed it.

But don’t forget, the full state mode of the White Demon Armor could only last for ten seconds. Once the ten seconds passed, the armor would disintegrate due to the inability to bear the massive amount of mana, and by then, Rocky would perish in the disintegration. And now, he had already maintained the full state mode for over eight seconds!

From the moment he fired the Demon Annihilation Cannon, Rocky had activated the full state mode. He had not stopped since, and he couldn’t afford to stop; otherwise, once the White Demon Armor lost the support of the massive mana, not to mention Liliya and the other two, even Rocky himself would be swept away by the whirlpool.

At this time, alarms had already been sounding inside the armor, constantly reminding Rocky to disengage the full state mode. And it was in this piercing alarm sound that Rocky accelerated with all his might, rushing upwards.

At that moment, he felt every second was longer than a day. Yet even so, two seconds flew by in the blink of an eye, and the full state mode had reached the ten-second limit. However, at this very moment, they were still at least a hundred meters away from the lake surface.

And after the ten seconds were up, he distinctly felt that there was a problem with the armor – it felt as though the entire armor was about to be crushed. And as soon as there was a problem with the armor, the water pressure from the depth of the lake followed suit, making Rocky feel instantly out of breath, as though he was about to be flattened.

But even so, he did not disengage the full state because he knew that even underwater, a hundred meters was just a matter of a few seconds for the fully accelerating White Demon Armor. So he had to hold on, he had to get everyone out!

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds!

As Rocky continued the sprint towards the lake surface with the three people, he could see that they were getting close to the lake surface. But at this time, he also felt that everything he saw was becoming blurred, and the armor’s mana also suddenly stopped at this point.

The White Demon Armor had reached its limit. Under such extremity, the Magic Conduction System of the armor automatically entered a closed mode – all Magic Energy Conduction was immediately stopped. This was Pelaya’s design for the White Demon Armor, which served as a safety feature in the full state mode so as not to let Rocky die while in it.

But with the sudden stop of all the armor’s mana, Rocky passed out, and the four of them, who were about to break through the lake surface, began to sink downwards at that moment…
