“Hahaha, d*mn you Summoner, I’ll give you a fate worse than death!” Ymir looked insane, laughing maniacally as he allowed his blood to rain onto the weird Snake Demon Blood Staff.
After devouring a large amount of fresh blood, the Magical Energy released by the Snake Demon Blood Staff became more and more terrifying. Soon, a pitch black ball of vapor had gathered around them. There were thunderous roars coming from within from time to time, even more frightening than when Ymir summoned the Evil Demon Bartho.
“Oh god, why has the sky turned dark, what’s going on?” Looking at the weird Snake Demon Blood Staff in Ymir’s hands in shock, a soldier noticed that the sky was becoming darker and darker. Gray clouds seemed to have laced the sky, as if night had already descended upon them.
“Oh Yiblis, it’s so cold!” After a sudden gust of cold wind, the troops hunched against the chill and said in terror, “The weather has changed! To think that b*stard Ymir could change the weather! Could it be that he is prepared to summon that hairy demon from the depths of hell?”
“No, listen to those terrifying roars. It might not be just that hairy demon. He might have summoned the God of Evil!”
…
Witnessing the terrifying change in the weather, the spectators lost their voices in shock, instinctively taking steps backward. Ymir had managed to summon the terrifying demon Bartho just by using a few drops of blood. Now that he was maniacally pouring his blood onto the staff and creating such a terrifying change in the weather, who knew what horrifying monster he was going to summon this time.
The spectators lost color in their faces. The Knight of the Divine Palace Clause and veiled Spellcaster Michelle were no exception. Clause was in full defensive mode, the spear in his hands releasing a three-inch thick ray of red light after he infused it full of his Battle Energy; Michelle clenched her staff tightly, once again urgently summoning the warriors and spellcasters of the Church.
After the magical formation shimmered a few times, five strong warriors and an elderly spellcaster appeared beside Michelle. After a few formalities, they all stared straight at the black ball of gas that was releasing a large amount of dark magic, their expressions serious.
“Brother Ymir, it might not be too appropriate for you to be dancing with your butt exposed in front of everyone?” Seeing Ymir flailing his arms and chanting loudly, Yang Ling shook his head and said, “You can admit defeat if you really cannot beat me, I’ll spare you. There’s no need for you to dance butt naked in front of everyone to ask for mercy!”
Dance butt naked in front of everyone?
Hearing Yang Ling say this, the crowd once again erupted into laughter. As for the chanting Ymir, he shuddered in fury and spat out a mouthful of blood. He nearly died before completing his spell.
Despite his sarcastic words, Yang Ling wasn’t careless as he watched the dark ball of fog grow increasingly larger. He leapt onto the Unicorn and summoned a few Horned Bee Beasts. Ymir was fully concentrating on reciting his incantations. This was the best time to launch a sneak attack. Yang Ling would be a true fool if he were to miss such a good opportunity.
Under Yang Ling’s command, a few Horned Bee Beasts charged forward, straight toward Ymir. But unexpectedly, just as Yang Ling was about to succeed, Ymir let out a shout. Following that, a terrifying monster charged out from within the black ball of fog.
The monster was covered in black scales, and it was nearly a hundred meters long. It was thicker than a bulldozer, roaring loudly as it charged out. At first glance, it looked like an oversized Amazon Giant Python. But what made it even scarier were the nine ferocious looking heads that rose from its thick neck. Nine of its red tongues flicked in and out continuously, making the skin on everyone’s scalp begin to crawl.
“My god, a level nine Magical Beast, the Nine-headed Snake Demon!”
Looking at such a terrifying monster, the experienced troops staggered backward. The rest of the crowd saw this and started to flee in fear, afraid that the monstrous Nine-headed Snake Demon would devour them alive if they were too slow. Chaos ensued in that instant. Many people were crying for their daddies and mommies.
Under normal circumstances, a Great Swordsman who had practiced his Battle Energy for many years would only have abilities equal to a level six Magical Beast. Against a level nine Magical Beast, even a beginner or intermediate Sword Saint might not be able to deal with it easily, much less a Great Swordsman.
It was rumored that five hundred years ago, the famous Sword Saint Savage and Magical Tutor Barzark arranged to meet and hunt the level nine Magical Beast Flame Phoenix deep within the Terras Forest together. In the ensuing battle, one died and one was injured. Barzark, who had been lucky enough to escape using his teleportation magic, died a few days later from his injuries. It was clear how terrifying a level nine Magical Beast was.
A level nine Magical Beast?
The crowd was fearful. Maryse, who was hiding further away, was also shocked. She hadn’t expected Ymir to be able to summon such a terrifying dark element Magical Beast. It looked like the Snake Demon Blood Staff was extraordinary indeed. Ymir had been able to summon the Nine-headed Snake Demon by forcefully tearing open a dimensional crack using his blood essence and an incomplete incantation.
“Teacher, it looks like you’ll have to personally save that kid!” Overcoming her shock, Maryse shook her head. She had just reached the level of Great Spellcaster. Even if she had the best of equipment, she would not be able to win against a level nine Magical Beast.
Observing the Nine-headed Snake Demon with his sharp gaze, the black-robed elder let out a sigh of relief. “This is merely a Nine-headed Snake Monster at the later stages of level eight. It has not fully evolved into a Nine-headed Snake Demon. But even so, Yang Ling is definitely no match for it. Maryse, escape quickly, and I will attack when you are gone. I’ll meet you back at the temporary outpost.”
Compared to the Nine-headed Snake Monster at the later stages of level eight, the black-robed elder was more worried about the faint ripples of Magical Energy on the other side of the valley. He had unleashed several detection spells, but they had all been rendered ineffective. That meant that the other party’s abilities were the equal of his own. The lair of the Holy Dragon Ayrpaciro was an important place. It was expected that a few thousand-year-old freaks would also gather here. He had to be on guard at all times, in case he encountered an ambush.
After coiling its body, the Nine-headed Snake Monster did not care about the few Horned Bee Beasts beside it. The first head from the right released a breath of frost, instantly freezing two Horned Bee Beasts into ice; the second head spewed a ball of flames, burning three Horned Bee Beasts into ash; the third pounced forward, instantly devouring the remaining two beasts.
“Hahaha, you blasted Summoner, let’s see where you can escape to now!”
Seeing the Nine-headed Snake Monster easily dealing with the Horned Bee Beasts he hated to the core, Ymir let out loud, manic laughs, his body shaking. In order to get his revenge, he had ignored the restrictions of the family and forcefully used the Snake Demon Blood Staff. He had not only lost a large amount of blood and vital life force, he might even have reduced his lifespan by ten years.
Even though the tactician Goode had tried to stop him, Ymir had stubbornly gone forward with his plan. In order to finish Yang Ling, in order to humiliate the blasted Summoner, he was willing to pay any price. If he had to tolerate him any longer, Ymir might have gone insane.
Under Ymir’s command, the Nine-headed Snake Monster unleashed a ferocious attack on Yang Ling. It sometimes shot out sharp ice spikes, sometimes spewed a column of flames, sometimes pounced forward and bit down speedily. Yang Ling was lucky that the Unicorn was insanely fast, allowing him to narrowly avoid the dangers time and time again.
Even though they were both level eight Magical Beasts, the Unicorn was obviously weaker in Magical Energy, offensive capabilities, and defensive capabilities. In the blink of an eye, there were a few jagged wounds on the body of the Unicorn. Yang Ling was not in any better shape either, his legs numb from the cold, his eyebrows almost singed off.
With its speed, the Unicorn dodged as it retaliated with thick bolts of purple lightning. After suffering from the attacks, the Nine-headed Snake Monster also became numb. It did not dare charge forward too recklessly after the Unicorn’s attacks. But with the Unicorn’s injuries becoming heavier and heavier, it could not retaliate any further. It also gradually became slower, while the ferocious Nine-headed Snake Monster became increasingly fiercer.
The situation was getting worse for Yang Ling!
“Sister Sofia, what are we going to do?” Looking at Yang Ling in such a dangerous situation, Alice’s eyes became red with worry.
“Alice, it’s alright, Yang Ling will be fine!” Sofia consoled herself softly. She was also worried, her vision blurred from her tears.
As a forest elf with a long history, Sofia had heard many stories about the Nine-headed Snake Monster when she was young, and she naturally understood how terrifying it was. In her worry, all she could do was nervously pray to the Goddess of Nature.
“Oh Yiblis, that darned lad, how did he summon such a monster?”
“Sigh, is a fine lad like that going to…”
…
Both Sofia and Alice were worried. The crowd who had scattered in all directions also shook their heads. Some were cursing at the sinister Ymir, and some were nervously shutting their mouths, afraid that they would offend Ymir and feel the wrath of his revenge. There were even some silently praying, hoping that Yang Ling would be granted the protection of the gods.
No one thought that Yang Ling would be lucky enough to escape with his life when faced against such the terrifying Nine-headed Snake Monster!
But just as Ymir was laughing crazily, just as the crowd was certain that Yang Ling would die, something unexpected happened once again!
