Chapter Seventy-Six: Killing the Rocky Mountain Serpent, Saron's Deadly Backstab
Of course, she also saw Loya being pushed back step by step.
However, Elena did not panic.
Because she knew Loya wouldn't lose so easily. This battle had only just begun; there was much more to come.
Besides, even if Loya fails, he is very difficult to kill.
"After we leave the Flame Serpent Canyon and return to China, we must have the scouts thoroughly investigate the Sendi Mountains. There are just too many terrifying magical beasts hidden in that place."
"Even if they haven't attacked humans yet, we humans still need to have enough knowledge about them. Otherwise, when humans go to war with magical beasts in the future, we won't be confused about the strength and identity of their magical beast race."
Elena is truly a qualified human and a qualified princess. As she thought about it, she veered towards the human side.
"Speaking of which, are those two little dragon cubs alright?"
Suddenly, Elena belatedly remembered something.
Her heart raced, and she began to panic.
"No, please don't let anything happen to you."
Elena rushed over in a panic. At this moment, she regretted tricking the young dragon sisters into going treasure hunting. Otherwise, she would have stayed at home and wouldn't have gotten so close to a monster like the Rocky Mountain Serpent.
She soon arrived at her destination.
Just then, I saw the baby dragon sisters, with some minor injuries, struggling on the ground, panting heavily.
"You two are really unlucky. All this time, you've either been getting beaten up or killing each other."
Elena breathed a sigh of relief and felt a clear sense of sympathy for the baby dragon sisters.
She quickly moved closer.
Magic: Healing Spell.
A green magical light enveloped the young dragon sisters, quickly healing their superficial wounds.
"Damn it, I almost died again this time." Orpheus snapped out of his daze and was furious.
She hated this feeling of being powerless.
"I must become strong, I must be free." Orpheus clenched his dragon claws and roared in a low voice.
"Of course, we will definitely be free, and we will become strong." Finland nodded in agreement.
Elena: "Let's work together."
She seemed to be infected by the excitement; her face was flushed, and she looked very excited.
...
"Pah!"
Innate Bloodline Skill: Heat Breath
Loya's chest was ripped and mangled from the attack, and many of the flames had been extinguished. But his reaction speed was still fast; he opened his mouth and fired a laser beam that hit Kili's head.
[Bang!] A huge explosion.
Kiley felt a splitting headache, and his head felt heavy and slumped down.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Loya quickly flew into the sky.
He was still mouthing, constantly exhaling.
The terrifying laser beams relentlessly pounded on Kili's body.
With a series of loud bangs, Kiri's massive body was becoming pitted and scarred.
Large amounts of blood flowed out. Yet, Loya's gaze grew increasingly solemn.
Because of his large size, those injuries were not fatal to him.
A powerful surge of life force allowed Kili to quickly stop the bleeding. Then, stones from all directions were pulled together by a strange force and covered Kili's body, enhancing his defenses.
"Whoosh!" Kili whipped its tail, attacking upwards.
Loya quickly dodged, preventing Kili from hitting him.
At this moment, Loya appeared more agile, while Kili, despite his immense strength, had a somewhat slow reaction speed and was clearly less agile than Loya.
Loya could leisurely dangle Kiri, wearing him down with ranged attacks. However, Loya was not satisfied, because his terrifying [Heat Breath] couldn't inflict a fatal wound on Kiri.
“This is definitely legendary-level defense and power. However, legends basically have no obvious weaknesses. In any aspect, a legend far surpasses a master. This Kily's magic power is somewhat insufficient, and his reaction speed is also not fast enough. He is still at the master level. This puts his true combat power between legend and master.” Loya quickly analyzed Kily's abilities.
"A guy like that is a thick-skinned tank. A master with weak attack power is trash to him and poses no threat at all."
Loya felt a headache coming on; he was finding it difficult to face Kili now.
...
"Hehehe, they've started fighting. Kili, teach this guy a lesson, let him know that just because he defeated the mother snake Shalu doesn't mean he can sweep away the overlords of the Flame Serpent Canyon." In the distance, the five giant pythons Saron, silently and unnoticed by Loya and Kili, were cautiously watching this scene.
Well, although he had retreated earlier, with the arrival of Kiley, he somehow got the news and came over to watch the excitement again.
Of course, if given the opportunity, he certainly wouldn't mind taking advantage of the chaos and picking up the scraps later.
In addition, perhaps because of the great distance and his strong willpower, he did not rush to kill Loya when he saw him.
However, he did not have a good impression of Loya.
...
“However, although I can’t take you down or do anything to you in the short term without fighting desperately, if I spend a little more time, a clumsy and slow behemoth like you is doomed.” Loya thought for a while, then got tired of thinking about it.
He believed that since they couldn't kill Killy instantly, they should slowly wear him down.
"How arrogant! How arrogant!" Keeley yelled.
Every move he made exuded terrifying power.
The earth trembled violently.
The dense cracks in the ground spread rapidly in all directions from this point. In the blink of an eye, an area of about a kilometer in radius was collapsing.
However, no matter how hard Kili tried, he couldn't hit Loya.
In reality, even a master like Salu would have a hard time hitting Kirito.
Even some weak but incredibly fast masters are no match for Killie.
Kiley's strengths are obvious, but his weaknesses are even more apparent.
That is why Kili did not rise above the overlords like Sal, but rather stood on the same level as them.
Innate Bloodline Skill: Crimson Lotus Hell
Magic: Super Fireball
Loya shut his mouth and began to set fires recklessly, completely surrounding Kili.
However, Keeley was perfectly fine, jumping around without being affected at all.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the radiation virus unique to Loya is slowly eroding Kili's robust flesh and blood. However, this process is extremely slow; Kili will not suffer any major problems for at least ten days to two weeks.
Loya took a deep breath and chanted, "O magical elements that roam between heaven and earth, obey my call."
Black magic [Dark Hell - Great Swamp Imprisonment Technique]
This time, Loya failed to cast the spell instantly; instead, it was slow and sluggish. However, this also demonstrated just how powerful the [Black Witch Secret Techniques] he had collected in his previous life truly were.
In reality, black magic is a powerful form of witchcraft that can only be barely used by masters. Its true essence should be legendary.
Fortunately, Loya was very experienced, and with the help of inscriptions, he was able to use it to some extent.
And this doesn't require him to pay a heavy price.
At most, after use, his flames withered and went out by more than half. Some of the inscriptions on his body were much dimmer, clearly indicating damage.
However, the power of this black magic is also quite formidable.
In an instant, the bright, fiery world turned black and quickly spread to the ground beneath Kili.
With a "whoosh," the ground softened.
Keeley got caught up in it.
"What the hell is this thing?" Kili panicked a little. He twisted his body with all his might, trying to climb out, but the more he struggled, the faster he sank in, and the attraction coming from below became even stronger.
"Oh no no no, I am invincible. In this Flame Serpent Canyon, no one can defeat me, no one can defeat me."
"Even if Saron, Sharu, and Ellihunt join forces, they still can't defeat me."
Kiley roared in fury, filled with resentment.
"Ignorant, and shameless." Loya couldn't help but roll his eyes. He wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, he understood that there were only these four top masters in the Flame Serpent Grand Canyon. There were no higher up, and no lower down who could threaten him.
"Now that I've dealt with two of them, and I've taken care of the remaining two, the Flame Serpent Canyon will be completely mine, right?"
Thinking about this, Loya was actually quite excited.
Loya watched coldly as Kili sank into the dark swamp.
In about half a minute, only Kiley's head was visible; the rest of his body had been swallowed by darkness and imprisoned.
Even if you seal me away, you can't kill me.
By this time, Kili had resigned himself to his fate, fully understanding that he couldn't break free. Yet, even so, he remained arrogant and unruly, "The effect of this technique isn't permanent, is it? I believe I'll be able to break free soon, and then it will be your death day."
“You’re right, but I could have killed you a hundred times over before you came out.” Loya gave a strange smile.
He descended from the sky and landed on the dark swamp.
This was his own technique, so he didn't harm himself by being pulled into darkness by the swamp.
"Hmph, I am the strongest. You can't possibly inflict a fatal wound on me." Kili was full of confidence. In fact, with legendary-level physical defense and brute strength, he certainly had the right to be confident.
Loya ignored Kili and placed his right paw on the back of Kili's head.
Intermediate Wizardry Inscription: Gluttony x180 (half stacked)
With a deafening roar, Loya's right claw twisted instantly, even distorting the space beneath it. In just five seconds, a large chunk of Kili's scalp was devoured.
Even more terrifying was that the magic power within Kili's body, the life force contained in his flesh and blood, and his blood essence were all forcibly leaked out.
"Oh my god. This is so exciting." The flames on Loya's body suddenly intensified, and he felt an unprecedented deliciousness.
That's not all; after receiving this nourishment, his true cultivation level was also slowly rising.
"Aaaaah, what is this? What is happening? What did you do to me?" Kili screamed, feeling his "everything" disappearing.
To be honest, being devoured while fully conscious is incredibly creepy. Even a powerful mutated fire serpent like Kili couldn't avoid losing control.
"how so?"
"That shouldn't be happening. What right did you have to kill me?"
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"
Kili's voice was filled with anguish.
A strong sense of resentment erupted.
Loya suddenly remembered Salu; Salu back then seemed to have been like this too.
Thinking of this, Loya couldn't help but feel anxious. He was worried that Kili would make a last-ditch effort and launch a counterattack before he died.
"Why don't you monsters just die peacefully?" Loya gritted his teeth and increased his intensity.
[Intermediate Inscription: Gluttony x360] (Stacked with all)
"Crack, crack," the stacked [Inscription: Gluttony] was completely overloaded and began to collapse rapidly.
However, this also brought a terrifying allure.
Keeley's head shrank at a visible rate.
"Great serpent god..." Kili only managed to shout this once before his entire soul collapsed and his consciousness completely dissipated.
His massive body was completely shriveled and swallowed up.
"Phew, that was close." Loya breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and instinctively turned his head to look behind him.
"Bang!" The ground behind them exploded.
Five enormous snake heads shot out from below. They resembled a chaotic dance of demons, baring their teeth and roaring silently.
Innate Bloodline Skill: Hell's Scream - Soul Annihilation
A powerful mental shockwave swept over Loya, engulfing him completely.
For a moment, Loya was stunned.
In that brief moment of delay, five snake heads swooped down and bit Loya's head, claws, and legs respectively...
"Hahaha, Kili, you died a worthy death! From now on, I will be the sole ruler of the Flame Serpent Canyon!" Saron was so excited he was about to burst into tears. He used his five heads, mimicking the technique of tearing someone apart with five horses, to pull them forcefully in all directions.
"Sizzle sizzle".
In just a moment, Loya's limbs and head were gone.
However, Loya did not die. Instead, his dragon wings unfurled, spewing fire, and he soared into the sky, carrying his main body.
Midway through, the main body shrinks, but the limbs and dragon head that had disappeared regenerate.
Once Loya had fully recovered, his size had shrunk to just over twenty meters.
He has also weakened considerably. Although he is still very powerful now, he is only slightly stronger than an ordinary master, barely qualifying as a level 5 master.
While this level of skill is impressive, it's still far from being comparable to a top-tier master like Saron.
"The elementalization of flesh and blood is truly heaven-defying. As long as I have energy, I am practically immortal and can be resurrected indefinitely."
"Unfortunately, my energy is limited, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a weakened state."
"I don't know how long it will take to recover to its original state."
Loya felt rather helpless; he felt that his perception was still not strong enough.
Of course, this is also due to Saron's cunning; he actually jumped out at the most crucial moment, when Saron was wholeheartedly dealing with Kili.
Such a surprise attack would surely rip out the heart of anyone, let alone Loya, even a legendary figure.
"Huh? He's not dead???" Saron was dumbfounded.
“You barbaric native, you don’t even know what elementalization is?” Loya rolled his eyes.
This time, it was Saron's turn to roll his eyes: "Do you really think I'm an idiot? Of course I know about elementalization. In the lava sea beneath this canyon, there are endless fire elemental spirits, who are also barely immortal. But I've killed these things before, I'm very experienced. As long as their consciousness is destroyed, they die. Even if they are resurrected later, they will not be the original ones, but brand new blank fire elemental spirits."
Loya's expression turned strange.
Saron thought Loya hadn't understood, so he continued, "I was talking about your soul, which actually didn't collapse under my innate bloodline technique."
That's right, Saron's true trump card is the original [Hellish Scream: Soul Destroyer].
(Author's note: This is the tenth daily 10,000 words. It seems that this book will give birth to an honor badge.)
Haha, this is pretty good.
Next, I'll set a big goal: I'm going to write 10,000 words a day for twenty consecutive days to conquer another honor badge.
Amen, may all the little stars in the sky bless me and help me succeed.
