Chapter 234: Death of Three Headed Blood Python: Adrian Makes a Move!
The instant the black nail shattered, the Three Headed Blood Python did not give the humans the luxury of chitchat.
Its attention was immediately locked onto Adrian, who was closest to the central head.
BOOM!
Its tail, dozens of meters long, swept across the valley. Adrian’s expression changed drastically as his figure instantly blurred and retreated, but the restraining formation he had previously arranged across the ground was not nearly as fortunate. Large sections of silver runes were smashed apart along with the earth itself.
Immediately afterward, the two incomplete blood colored horns that had just grown from the central head lit up with dark red light, and a terrifying pressure originating from its ancient bloodline descended upon the entire valley.
ROAR!
The Golden Armored Lion released a low growl, its four limbs digging firmly into the ground, yet it was still forced several steps backward beneath the pressure.
The other summoned beasts fared even worse. Several were forced directly onto the ground, unable to even raise their heads.
Even more troublesome was the fact that the Three Headed Blood Python’s regeneration had become faster than before.
The wounds everyone had just torn open began healing almost instantly. Even the heavily injured right head rapidly recovered beneath the continuous stream of blood colored energy pouring from the central head.
Zich watched for only a few seconds before understanding.
"We have to destroy all three heads at the same time."
Kane abruptly turned toward him.
But Zich was already speaking.
"You and the Golden Armored Lion handle the left head. Adrian deals with the right. I’ll take the central head. Everyone else restrains its body."
"Why should we listen to you?" Kane’s expression darkened, feeling irritated.
"You don’t have to." Zich glanced at him.
"Then we can all die together."
"..."
A vein twitched on Kane’s forehead, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and turned away.
"Golden Armored Lion! Left side!"
BOOM!
The enormous golden lion charged forward once again.
At the same time, several summoning lights flashed beside Zich in rapid succession.
Iron, the Blood Leech, and his remaining skeletons appeared simultaneously, while Slimy remained close beside him. Its body rapidly expanded, forming a thin barrier that blocked the blood poison continuously spreading through the valley.
"Go."
The battle erupted once again.
Iron was the first to crash into the central head.
The instant his heavy body collided with the enormous snake head, massive cracks exploded across the ground. But the difference in their levels was simply too great. After holding on for barely an instant, Iron was violently thrown away.
Zich, however, had never intended to fight it head on.
Buzz!
Just before the snake tail crashed down, he instantly exchanged positions with a skeleton on the left.
The next moment, he appeared behind the Three Headed Blood Python.
Another moment later, he was already on the opposite side of the central head.
The low level skeletons that appeared completely useless were now like spatial coordinates nailed throughout the battlefield, allowing Zich to continuously move between attacks that would have otherwise been nearly impossible to survive.
Every time he appeared, he was positioned precisely where he needed to be, whether to attack or retreat.
While controlling the Golden Armored Lion, Kane couldn’t help glancing toward the figure that continuously disappeared and reappeared across the battlefield.
Only now did he truly understand why Zich had been able to defeat Lucien and Ainos.
What made this Level 18 Summoner truly terrifying had never been just his summons.
It was his control over the entire battlefield.
Several minutes later, all three snake heads had finally suffered severe injuries.
The Golden Armored Lion had already crushed most of the left head’s neck bones between its jaws.
The right head had been torn open by Adrian and the others, leaving huge sections of flesh exposed.
Meanwhile, beneath the relentless pincer attacks of Iron and Zich, the soul stone hidden within the central head’s skull had begun to reveal itself.
[Current Contribution Rank 1: Zich Grave.]
The instant Adrian saw the notification, greed flashed through his eyes.
The next moment, he actually abandoned the right head, which was already on the verge of destruction, and transformed into a black shadow as he lunged toward the central head!
"Get out of the way!"
His dagger instantly pierced through Zich’s body.
But there was no blood.
Crack!
The "Zich" he had stabbed immediately transformed into a shattered skeleton.
Adrian’s pupils contracted violently.
"What?!"
Zich had been guarding against him from the beginning.
Almost simultaneously, with no one suppressing it, the flesh of the right head began regenerating at a terrifying speed.
The Three Headed Blood Python’s enormous body violently broke free from its restraints, and its tail swept outward, smashing the Golden Armored Lion and a massive wave of shattered rocks directly into the mountain wall!
"You idiot!" Kane’s eyes instantly turned red. "If it recovers, none of us are getting out of here alive!"
But Adrian had no intention of stopping.
The real Zich, meanwhile, had already appeared above the regenerating right head through Spirit Exchange.
"Iron!"
BOOM!
Iron lunged in from the side and wrapped both arms tightly around the snake’s neck.
At the same moment, the Blood Leech coiled around its enormous jaws and forcibly pulled them apart.
Pale soul flames ignited across Zich’s five fingers.
[Spirit Flame!]
BOOM!
The flames poured directly into the python’s mouth before violently erupting inside its skull.
The right head exploded into countless fragments!
At almost the exact same moment, the Golden Armored Lion’s furious roar thundered from the distance.
CRACK!
Its enormous claw completely smashed apart the left snake head.
And now, only the central head remained!
"HISSSSS!"
The Three Headed Blood Python raised its head and shrieked toward the sky as blood colored energy frantically surged toward the severed necks on either side.
"Slimy!"
"Bo!"
Slimy instantly launched itself forward.
Instead of using its silk barrier to block an incoming attack, it directly covered the wound on the central head where the black nail had originally been embedded.
Now!
Buzz!
Zich disappeared again.
The skeleton closest to the central head instantly took his place, while Zich himself appeared directly before the exposed soul core.
He did not hesitate.
Puchi!
His weapon pierced straight through the soul core.
The Three Headed Blood Python’s enormous body suddenly froze.
The next second, its massive body, large enough to occupy nearly half the valley, crashed heavily onto the ground.
The earth shook violently as dust surged dozens of meters into the air.
[You have killed Level 50 Three Headed Blood Python.]
[Obtained: Three Headed Blood Python spirit orb.]
[Level Up!]
[Current Level: 19.]
[Level Up!]
[Current Level: 20.]
A dark gold screen immediately unfolded afterward.
[Trial Contribution Ranking]
[1st: Zich Grave — 46%]
[2nd: Kane Locke — 29%]
[3rd: Adrian Veil — 11%]
Following that notification, the ancient beast altar in the distance suddenly lit up.
A streak of dark gold light crossed the valley and directly entered the Myriad Beast Mountain Token hanging from Zich’s waist.
[Obtained: First Trial Mark.]
[Ancient Beast Altar Trial Marks: 1/3.]
’Two more to go.’
Zich had only just exhaled when the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly came from behind him.
It was Adrian!
Taking advantage of Zich’s exhaustion after the continuous battle, Adrian thrust his dagger toward Zich’s back without the slightest hesitation.
"The mark is mine!"
But before the blade could fall, something that shocked even Zich happened.
BOOM!
An enormous golden beast claw covered in blood slammed down between them.
The terrifying force sent Adrian staggering several steps backward.
Zich slowly raised his head, wondering who had decided to step up for him now.
Not far away, Kane stood beside the already injured Golden Armored Lion, his expression so dark that it was almost frightening.
...
