Chapter 119
Ye Bai swung the Kraken twice in a row, causing huge damage wherever it passed. However, due to its fast rotation speed, it passed by in a flash, and only a huge afterimage could be seen. As a result, the Serpent Demon Lord's head, which possessed legendary magic, did not have time to use [Petrifying Gaze] on the "flying" Kraken.
The other heads that had not yet reacted were thrown all over the place by Ye Bai swinging the Kraken.
After suffering a wave of unexpected and huge damage, the snake demon lord's health was reduced to half. Seeing this, Ye Bai naturally took advantage of the situation and continued to attack forward, waving the "Kraken" brand meteor hammer.
“Pah pah pah——!”
Another wave of tentacles hit his face, and the physical attack alone brought a series of terrible damage, once again severely scraping away one-tenth of Kedar's blood.
But as the saying goes, three times the limit, after suffering two consecutive injuries, even though the shock of the scene was outrageous and unbelievable, the Snake Demon Lord finally reacted.
So, when Ye Bai swung the Kraken to the fourth circle and headed towards the magma fortress with all his might.
"Boom..."
The magma rolled and swept, and the six heads of the Snake Demon Lord exposed outside quickly drilled into the magma pool. Ye Bai could throw the Kraken to the surrounding space, but it was impossible to throw it into the magma, because if he did that, the burning damage to the Kraken itself would be greater than the damage caused.
Ye Bai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately slowed down the speed of his hand's rotation, allowing her to land nearby.
"Boom..."
The Kraken smashed a big hole in the ground when it landed. Ye Bai took a glance and saw that in the green eyes of the big red octopus, one pupil was in the east and the other in the west. It seemed that the octopus was really dizzy.
The spirit body in the shape of a little girl quickly slid down from the physical body while sitting on the fish basket and floated in front of Ye Bai. At this time, the expression on the spirit body's face was also very strange, an expression of wanting to vomit but unable to.
After all, Kraken's digestive ability is also at the law level, and her stomach is always empty. Even if she wants to vomit, there is nothing in her stomach for her to vomit.
The scene was somewhat funny, but it was not the time to relax yet. Ye Bai quickly turned his gaze with a serious expression to the magma pool where the Snake Demon Lord had sunk.
This unexpected move that took away 20% of Kedar's health was a pure surprise. Ye Bai never thought that he could really kill the BOSS with this trick.
After understanding the situation, the Snake Demon Lord naturally knew that he had no way to deal with the Kraken that had become a "weapon", but he had a way to deal with Ye Bai, the person who held the weapon.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Soon, Ye Bai saw that the ground between the magma pool and himself began to tremble violently.
The hard stone ground shattered, forming a long strip of traces. It was obvious that a huge creature was moving rapidly in this direction below.
The Snake Demon Lord did not hide in the magma just now, but drilled into the ground to get close to Ye Bai, the "fulcrum" of his weapon!
Ye Bai quickly said a few words to the Kraken next to him, and then instead of hiding behind, he put away his fishing rod and rushed towards the direction of the vibration.
This time, Ottophis was not brought along, but Ye Bai went forward alone, holding the snow-colored sword.
“Boom!”
The speed of the Snake Demon Lord was so fast that almost the next moment Ye Bai took action, the sound of explosion came from the front along with the huge body of the Snake Demon Lord.
One, two, three, four, five... a total of five heads suddenly emerged from the ground!
Kedar had eight heads in total. One was eaten by the Kraken in the previous battle, and two were mistakenly killed by his own petrifying gaze. There should have been only four heads left. The head that was "fished" by the Kraken in the deep sea space has been re-opened through [Skull Regeneration].
If the Snake Demon Lord was given a little more time, it would not be a problem to grow back the other heads, but it was obviously not going to give up the opportunity to eat the Sea God because of its greed. After avoiding the sharp edge, it found the problem.
"It seems I underestimated you just now, little bug."
In order to prevent Ye Bai from using the fishing rod to pull the Kraken away again, Kedar immediately changed his first target of attack to Ye Bai. The five heads that emerged from the ground attacked her at lightning speed.
Faced with this situation, Ye Bai took a deep breath, holding the snow-colored sword in one hand and the scroll in the other, and faced the huge figure of the Snake Demon Lord.
In just one or two breaths, a loud noise was heard again behind Ye Bai, and another huge object broke out of the rock, forming a huge shadow behind her.
That was Kedar's huge snake tail, which had been hidden underground. At this moment, it slammed down towards Ye Bai's body with tremendous force. The tail was so big that he couldn't avoid it even by rolling.
“Bang!!!”
A huge bang struck the spot where Ye Bai had been standing just a moment ago.
The next moment, her figure emerged from another shadow.
This shadow was exactly the shadow cast by the five heads of Kedal on the ground. At this time, the distance between Ye Bai and the nearest head of the Snake Demon Lord had reached less than 40 meters.
During the few seconds of confrontation, Ye Bai's soul was burned again because he stared at Kedar's Purgatory Mark again.
[You gazed upon the Infernal Mark of a Purgatory Lord, and your soul was burned.]
[You gain 10 points of proficiency in 'Demon Language']
And after this burning, Ye Bai's proficiency in the demon language was finally filled up.
You learned the Devil's language.
[You get the achievement 'Purgatory Translator']
Ye Bai didn't have time to carefully examine the effect of this title before he heard Kedar's voice booming in front of him:
"Hmm... The power of shadows reminds me of those foolish Void Spirits, but you seem to have traveled to the wrong place. Welcome death, the death bestowed upon you by the future Lord of Purgatory."
The power of shadows, stupid spirits... Ye Bai's heart couldn't help but move when he heard these words. He could sense the power of shadows and connect it with the spirits that represented secrecy and intellect. For a creature of Purgatory, Kedar's knowledge reserve could truly be called "knowledgeable".
At this time, the distance between Ye Bai and the Snake Demon Lord was definitely enough for it to release a high-level magic, and each of its heads could release a different magic.
Even though Ye Bai has high magic resistance and damage reduction measures such as the Crocodile King's Wristguards, he must immediately upgrade to a higher level to ensure he does not die if he is hit by any of the high-level magic released by the Snake Demon Lord.
But at this moment when victory was certain, a hint of cunning and cruelty suddenly flashed in the scarlet eyes of the Snake Demon Lord, and then the other four heads that were approaching suddenly dispersed, and none of them took the initiative to attack Ye Bai.
As the heads scattered, the head at the back, which had its eyes tightly closed, was revealed.
Kedar's main head, which controlled the legendary magic [Petrifying Gaze], suddenly stretched forward at this moment, and his bluish-white eyes opened at a distance that could definitely hit Ye Bai.
Although he spoke with contempt, the Snake Demon Lord actually used a legendary magic killing move to deal with Ye Bai.
Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit!
However, just before his gaze fell, Ye Bai did not dodge, but spoke to the scroll in his hand.
"Wuming, get ready."
Finally, a grayish-white 'sight' emerged and fell on Ye Bai without any obstruction.
It fell on Ye Bai's silver-white face with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
...silver-white?
The Snake Demon Lord, who could petrify any living creature, glanced at Ye Bai, but he did not see a living person made of flesh and blood, but a sculpture made entirely of silver.
When Kedar's petrifying gaze was about to take effect on Ye Bai, a golden whistle on her neck emitted light, and the only two dragon language magics she knew were released -
【Silver Protection】
Effect: Transformed into a silver body, unable to be targeted and unable to act during the skill duration; immune to all non-soul and mind damage; soul and mind damage received is reduced by 90%.
Duration: 10 seconds
Consumption: 80% of maximum spiritual energy
Casting time: Instant release
Cooling time: 72 hours
Spell Range: Self
Dragon language magic is a magic system unique to ancient dragons. The strength of dragon language magic varies and is mainly related to the strength of the dragon itself. Some of it has effects similar to high-level magic, while others can be comparable to legendary magic.
At this time, the powerful single-target legendary magic petrifying gaze lost its effect under the protection of silver.
It's not just because Dragon Language Magic is of high quality, [Silver Shelter] grants immunity to all non-soul mental damage, but more importantly, it's because the skill's effect is to transform into a 'silver body', while the Stone Gaze only works when the target is a flesh and blood body.
Therefore, before being turned into stone, Ye Bai turned herself into a ball of silver - the petrifying gaze did hit Ye Bai, but as long as she was not a flesh and blood body, she would not be petrified!
"How can a person with divine blood use dragon language magic?!"
Kedar, a Purgatory Lord, was surprisingly knowledgeable and recognized the magic used by Ye Bai immediately. The Snake Demon Lord, who had been defeated twice in a row, roared angrily: "I want to see how long you can hold on!"
Ye Bai, who had turned into a silver body, could not answer Kedar's words.
It was different from what Ye Bai had expected. He originally thought that he would lose all his senses after turning into silver, but he didn't expect that he would lose all his senses. At this time, Ye Bai maintained the posture of looking up at the snake demon before releasing the skill, maintaining this fixed and single perspective and perception, and saw everything that happened next.
The duration of the Silver Protection is 10 seconds longer, and it also directly consumes 80% of Ye Bai's spiritual energy. The cooling time is as long as three days. Once used, there is no better means.
Therefore, Ye Bai knew very clearly from the beginning that he only had one chance.
An opportunity to get within thirty meters of Kedar's "mastermind".
The second after Kedar roared, its largest head suddenly shook violently: "What's going on? My psychic circuit..."
The mysterious purgatory mark on the neck of this head suddenly began to flow abnormally at this moment, losing its previous mysterious and terrifying majesty and slowly turning into a human shape.
Even though the human figure was made up of demonic characters and looked somewhat eerie, evil, and twisted, it was indeed a human figure that had nothing to do with the demonic mark.
If other creatures in Purgatory saw a snake demon tattooing a human figure on his body, he would probably become the biggest joke in Purgatory.
"What the hell? Get out!!"
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
However, at this moment, Kedar obviously had no time to care about whether it was embarrassing or not. The Snake Demon Lord might have encountered the most outrageous scene in his life on this day.
Kedar's body struggled violently, and this inexplicable loss of control over his abilities touched his weak spot.
Its blue-gray eyes were even open, but after the Purgatory Mark was forcibly transformed into a human form, these eyes also lost the ability to release legendary magic and could no longer petrify flesh and blood.
But through an incomplete perspective, Ye Bai knew that the paper man was not as relaxed this time as he had been in the past.
The human figure on the Snake Demon Lord's body was very vague, not cohesive, and unable to speak freely. The lines that made up his body were still constantly being pulled outwards, trying to return to its original appearance.
If they continue to pull for a while, the paper man may not be able to suppress Kedar.
However, at this moment, a shadow even larger than the Snake Demon Lord appeared from higher up.
"Boom..."
A red tentacle fell like a waterfall, shaking off the other approaching snake heads, and suddenly covered the head of the Snake Demon Lord that was unable to use legendary magic, and stuffed it into the bottomless mouth of the sea god in the tentacle without stopping for a moment.
The Kraken is coming!
When Ye Bai saw this scene, the huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Using the paper man to change the Purgatory Mark on Kadal's head, causing it to temporarily lose the ability to use legendary magic, and then letting the Kraken seize the opportunity to eat the head, this is the only chance of a comeback that Ye Bai has just thought of.
Kadal's head with legendary magic is undoubtedly the most deadly threat. On the other hand, if Kraken can eat that head, he can immediately gain a huge increase in strength, and it will be no problem to deal with other heads. This is a relationship of gain at the expense of loss.
But in order to create this breakthrough, Ye Bai could only use the silver protection to get close to Kedar and "throw away" the paper man.
Originally, Ye Bai thought that in order to "cheat" Kedar's legendary magic, he would need to spend more time and effort, and would first have to endure a thrilling beating. Unexpectedly, due to Kedar's caution, he was able to do it one step ahead of time.
The last part of the plan is whether Kraken can complete Ye Bai's instructions and seize the opportunity to destroy the Snake Demon Lord's killing move.
The final result did not disappoint Ye Bai.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
The Kraken devoured Kadal's head fiercely. This head was obviously different. When it was devoured, the other four heads let out violent screams at the same time.
“Clatter…”
Within two seconds after eating Kedal's special head, the entire huge entity of the Kraken emitted a bright green light. The light was brightest on the tentacles that had been broken off due to petrification. Then, like branches sprouting, new tentacles quickly emerged from the broken parts.
The Kraken has fully recovered and even appears to be more powerful than before.
The remaining four heads struggled violently like crazy, and seemed to be about to escape. However, the Kraken would not let the snake demon go at this time, and pursued it without stopping. The newly grown tentacles were even stronger and more powerful, and they grabbed the snake's body and bit it tightly.
The spirit body in the image of the little girl was not idle either. The sound of waves rang out again in this purgatory space, one wave higher than the other. The illusory waves surrounded the Kraken, allowing its entity to move as freely as if it were in the sea water.
The fight scene in front of him looked very similar to the one just now, but the situation was completely different. The balance of victory was completely on Kraken's side.
At this time, 10 seconds have passed, the silver-white color on Ye Bai's body faded, and he returned to his normal flesh and blood body.
"Ahhh!"
When Ye Bai recovered, Ottophis's voice sounded beside him.
Ye Bai jumped onto Ottophis's back without hesitation, and with a few nimble jumps, he quickly escaped from the range of the battle between the two behemoths.
Riding on Ottophis's back, Ye Bai took out the scroll in his hand and asked hurriedly, "Wuming, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The paper man's smiling voice came from the scroll. He said he was fine, but Ye Bai found that his figure on the scroll was fainter than usual, somewhat like when he helped her change the Death Code before. It seemed that the action just now had consumed a lot of his energy.
Taking note of the paper man's help, Ye Bai couldn't help but think of the task of exploring Purgatory to find the treasure of the God King.
The outcome of the battle in front of him was no longer in doubt. Even though the snake demon's huge body was constantly struggling to release skills, Ye Bai could clearly know from the experience tips that were constantly shared that it was time for the Kraken to eat.
With Kraken in the future, exploring Purgatory is no longer an exploration for Ye Bai. Instead, he has to take his children to eat all over Purgatory and complete the main task issued by the paper man.
The earth shook, accompanied by the faint sound of waves and the collision of giant objects. In the short time that Ye Bai was thinking, the Kraken had already eaten two more heads of the snake demon, leaving only the last two heads still fighting alone.
The advantage of the Hydra Demon's [Head Regeneration] was not brought into play at all because the Kraken digested it too quickly.
At this time, only 15% of Kedar's health bar was left, and the huge snake body began to struggle violently, about to enter the final state of frenzy.
“Wow…”
Ye Bai and Ottophis stood on a high place and saw that the snake body of the snake demon, which had not been fully revealed, was now completely pulled out from the ground.
Different from the magic effect seen before, what was exposed at this time was Kedar's real body. It was a terrifying giant snake made of black and red scales, with eight heads in the middle of the snake's body.
During the battle, Ye Bai saw a bulge at the fork of the snake's head that was obviously different from other places.
From the distorted and blurred outline, it can be seen that it is a growing head.
The ninth head of Kedar.
No wonder Kedar was willing to sacrifice his own head to pull Kraken over. If he only lacked a little more power, this snake demon lord would probably be able to shed his demigod stage and advance to become a nine-headed greedy demon, becoming a god-level creature.
At this moment, with the final struggle, a red light emerged from Kedar's body, and all the strength in his body was gathered on the ungrown head.
Ye Bai saw that under the red light, the vague and shapeless bulge was really changing, and its outline was transforming into the shape of a snake head.
A snake's mouth and nose, and a pair of eyes above that seem about to open.
If this head could grow out, it might be able to master a legendary magic.
“Crack!”
Just as Ye Bai was daydreaming, the next moment, a crisp sound was heard. The Kraken had finished eating the other heads, and the last bite fell on this head.
The blood bar that was "through the mold" in Ye Bai's eyes was completely cleared, and the suction force came from Kraken's mouth again.
This time, the suction also contained some kind of space magic. Ye Bai only saw the snake demon's body shrink subtly, and then was swallowed by the Kraken in one bite.
The snake demon lord Kedar completely fell at this moment.
“Ding ding ding ding!”
At the same time, a series of prompt sounds came from Ye Bai's consciousness:
You participated in the slaying of a Greedy Demon, completing the achievement 'God? I'll Kill Them Too' and earning the title 'God Slayer'.
You participated in the slaying of the Lord of the Eighth Floor of Purgatory, Kedar. You completed the achievement "Dare to Enter the Eighth Floor of Purgatory" and earned the title "Purgatory Warrior."
[You participated in killing the Infernal Hydra, completed the achievement 'Kill the Ultimate Form of the Snake Demon', and obtained 'Fear of the Snake Demon']
[You witnessed the fall of a greedy demon god, you gained 100 historical experience points, you gained 1,000,000 experience points]
A series of system prompts, arranged in order of priority of achievements and titles from high to low, rang in Ye Bai's ears.
Ye Bai was stunned when he heard the prompt, but then he reacted and smiled with surprise. What a pleasant surprise!
Perhaps Kedar's ninth head had eaten some of the tentacles of Kraken, the god of the sea, before, so it was born at the last moment.
Although it was eaten right after it grew out and before it could play any role, growing and not growing are two different concepts. From this we can see that the original Kedar level was probably around level 98 or 99, only one step away from level 100.
This one step is the difference between god level and demigod level, which allowed Ye Bai to gain a lot of achievements and titles.
Of course, in addition to this, Ye Bai also gained a tremendous amount of experience from it.
She participated in the kill, causing 20% of the damage, and combined with the experience shared by the Kraken after it ate Kedar, Ye Bai now had enough experience in her experience pool to reach level 64! This meant that she could complete the third transformation after leaving the divine realm.
Not only that, Ye Bai then opened his career panel.
At this moment, her return column was loaded with four high-level spells that could be cast instantly, from different heads of Kedar. Moreover, Ye Bai's eyes fell on the column of earth magic.
The skill column in that column was flashing with a golden light that was different from other magics. It was recording the strongest legendary magic of the Snake Demon Lord, [Petrifying Gaze].
Under the protection of silver, the petrifying gaze just didn't work on Ye Bai, but it did work on her.
Therefore, Ye Bai naturally saved this magic that a normal spellbreaker would not have been able to save.
[Legendary Magic Scroll] is a 'mythical' level item in the universe. Now Ye Bai has obtained one unconditionally, and it can also be used in reality.
After roughly sorting out his gains, Ye Bai just wanted to say one thing at this time: Thank you, Mr. Kedar, for the reward!
