Chapter 132: Boss Battle (c)
After coming out of the water, the flowered-tail draconian snake with aqua blue scales, roughly eight times the size of Marvin, looked down at the critters, anger, and disdain highlighted completely in its three scarlet eyes.
"Mortals, not only have you invaded my home ground, killed my newborn clone, and injured my tail but you've also stolen the precious treasure I have been guarding for more than a decade. You deserve to die for your crimes and also everyone related to your bloodlines. I am a magnanimous being, however, and will let your relatives live if you hand over the continental's fruits," the draconian snake said while hissing at them as its voice resounded in the brain of Marvin and his wives.
It was super angry. Because it has been guarding the continental's fruits in order to consume it once it reaches total maturity. Only three years were left for the fruits to reach maturity and then if it were to eat it, not only would It evolve but it would also gain a human form. However, everything was ruined by the bastards in front of it, especially the critter that injured its tail.
"This is mind transmission! It's the peak version of voice transmission." Leilani said in a low voice as her pretty eyes opened wide in shock, her heart palpitating in dread, "It's a magic technique that only beasts with a mana circuit are capable of learning."
Beasts with a mana circuit are comparable to humans, who have learned to manipulate their ability. That means that this beast was an entire realm above Marvin. Remember, a magical being is a realm achieved by opening the mana channels and connecting them to create a mana circuit. Similarly, a person becomes an ability manipulator after opening all of their mana channels and combining them to create a mana circuit.
However, the only difference between them both was the fact that the latter have abilities and the magical being creates a magic body by using mana or magic power only.
"What should we do?" Bai Yue asked as her legs trembled due to fear.
The sheer draconic aura emitted from the snake was enough to suppress Bai Yu from her shiny head to disable toe, through and through. Honestly, she would have collapsed if not for Marvin, who was supporting her back with his thick right hand.
‹Ding! The Gamer has face slapped the flowered-tail draconian snake. You have obtained 10 system store credits. Keep up the good work!›
The draconian snake felt jealous of them, as it was around 20 years old itself by have never once found a mate.
Marvin received this notification after he wiped a sheen of nervous sweat away from the forehead of his beloved wife with perfect proportions as he stared at the beast in front of him, his silver eyes reflected the contempt and disrespect that he held for the draconian snake.
Marvin was seething with fury as he has seen this bastard attacking right after he handed over the continental's fruits. However, he was able to kill it in the future, but his wives were poisoned to a comatose state by its insidious attack. Now, how could he allow the same thing to happen again?
Thus the handsome disciple of gentleman sensational glared at the beast with utter arrogance and overwhelming killing intent. Although he knows that beast shouldn't be tortured and humiliated, he had long since decided to humiliate it to the core before slaying it.
"Take this!" He said as he pointed his right-hand middle finger towards the beast.
"You insolent–"
"And this!" Marvin interrupted the beast by pointing both his middle finger at it.
"Take both of them up your ass and explode!"
"Insolent mongrel! Die!" The draconian snake angrily hissed as the beast utilized its innate special ability.
The ground trembled as hundreds of vines jutted out from the ground. The vines were peppered with wooden barbs. Each of the barbs was laced with a poisonous substance secreting out of the vines. The two beauties were terrified by the deadly sight.
Bai Yue was a fighter but this her first time coming out of the fortress and venturing into the wilderness. Similarly, Leilani wasn't one that likes to battle, and although she was powerful, she wasn't a battle fanatic. So, it was horrifying for them to see around a thousand sharp vines.
However, they've taken a glimpse into the future. Though the feeling of dread was creeping towards the heart and mind of the beauty, they still actively responded to the situation.
"It has used one of its special abilities right at the very start of the battle. Did you really have to provoke it so badly?" Bai Yue complained as icy weapons materialized around them and chilled the surrounding.
"I got a plan," Marvin said in his defense.
"It's all good. I've seen the beast using this attack at the end of the battle and thus I've already prepared a perfect counter for it." Leilani added as she channeled her magic power into a powerful magic technique.
Her purplish eyes heightened in a blue hue as an enormous amount of magic power burst forth from her body, twirling around her and her companions before condensing into the shape of a circular blue shield that encompassed them.
"Magic Technique: Barrier!"
It took a mere split-second for her to create a magic shield that dodged the pincer attacks thrown by the vines that rained down on Marvin, and his wives.
The innate special skill of the draconic skill was disastrous enough to kill an entire armed squad. However, it wasn't able to break her shield.
Though they were in a shitty position. They were in the middle surrounded by around a thousand deadly vines that continuously attack. The continuous attacks created cracks on the shield. However, Leilani was able to enforce her barrier and mend the cracks by using magic power.
Nevertheless, her magic power reserves were limited. Sooner or later, the barrier would surely break.
Meanwhile, Bai Yue's icy attacks barely created cuts on the vines as hard as metal. She sighed, defeated by the fact that she couldn't even cut a few vines. Well, it wasn't her fault as she was only a rank-10 ability user. She was two realms weaker than the draconian snake.
It didn't even thirty seconds for the snake to come up with a new plan and increase the output of damage. It controlled the vines to grab some trees and hurled them at the barrier.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The overgrown tree weighing more than several hundred kilograms created wide dents on Leilani's barrier. She sweated profusely as she refused to admit defeat and expanded a large amount of magic power to enforce the barrier. Nevertheless, the draconian snake flooded an array of attacks upon them.
'It is only a matter of time before that critter is exhausted of all her magic power. Then her barrier will surely break under my relentless attack,' the snake thought with a snicker.
"Careful, my barrier is about to break. We need to run away," Leilani warned them as she was low on magic power.
"Don't be too tense!" Marvin said with a teasing smile, "My princess, just undo your barrier."
"Are you for real?"
"Is this really the time to be joking?"
Put off by his playful attitude, his wives complained.
Marvin who was unjustly blamed could only roll his eyes at the hard-working beauties.
"Believe in me, pretty please?" He said as he raised the forefinger of his right arm upon which a tiny spinning ball could be seen.
One look at it and the two beauties discerned that it was the condensed form of a massive amount of magic power.
Yes, the moment the draconian snake started its attack, Marvin had begun the preparation of his new ultimate attack.
"Okay, then!" Leilani undid her barrier.
At that very moment, the condensed energy ball spinning above his forefinger popped.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The sound of something sharp piercing through the air resounded in all directions. One could see a hundred sharp sword made out of magic power manifesting out of nowhere, chopping the dozens of sharps roots that jutted out of the ground. Then as if the swords were just guests unwelcome by the world, they vanished immediately after complying with Marvin's wishes.
Everything happened so fast that it almost felt like a dream.
