Chapter 651 - 596: Serpent and Parasite (2) (1/2)
”I've always wanted to fight a para-”
Carpentine wasn't even able to finish his sentence as a massive dragon made of blue lightning flew at him, its mouth open wide, ready to devour him whole.
The serpent man was able to defend himself by instantly summoning a scaled red snake that had the same size as the dragon. The two monsters crashed into each other, one side burst in lightning while the other was covered in a sea of orange flames.
The scaled snake managed to get rid of the lightning dragon and spit flames at Arthur, who remained immovable like a mountain. The flames soon hit him but did no damage, further surprising the chief guard.
These were normal flames and Arthur had complete immunity to normal fire. In fact, even if it was an ultimate fire technique, it'll still not harm him… quite the opposite, it'll help replenish his Nether Energy and even slightly strengthen him.
Beginning from his foot, green lightning covered the parasite, then two wings, one white and the other black, sprung from his back. His appearance drastically changed and his stats increased, Arthur raised his hand, which was now holding a six-meter long dark javelin.
Arthur threw the javelin, which whistled in the air and reached Carpentine within a split second. The projectile was faster than the chief guard's reflexes, it ended up piercing his abdomen and creating a gaping bloody hole. However, hundreds of disgusting black snakes plastered themselves on that hole and regenerated the serpent man.
The parasite wasn't fazed as he threw one javelin after another, his speed simply absurd. Carpentine could only gasp as the rain of javelins flying straight at him. In retaliation, he raised his left hand, the brown snake hissed and sat a weird black ball which expanded into a protective sphere, resisting all the javelins.
Sadly, Arthur wasn't done as his figure vanished like a ghost, and by the next second, Carpentine's ankle was held by a monstrous force which crushed his bones.
He saw the world spin then, like a kite, his body was thrown hundreds of meters away, exactly towards ten creepy-faced orange fireballs, which evilly grinned then detonated.
Deafening successive explosions resounded inside this mysterious world. The chief guard's clothes were incinerated and a third of his body was burned by the hell flames. He managed to get rid of the dark red fire as one of the snakes below jumped beside him and gulped the flames then burped.
The snake was only 1.5 meter long, grey in color and had six inky black eyes. It had an unusual appearance for a snake, it wasn't even threatened by Arthur, whose finger stretched to the front and pulled the space, causing the surroundings to shatter like glass. His space attack was enough to disturb the world but it didn't break him free. The grey-sn.a.k.e.d was unaffected by the space tears all around it as it flew at Arthur and spat a fireball that was at least two hundred meters in radius.
The massive ball of flames was green and had a poisonous smell radiating from it. Arthur's body transformed into a majestic white tiger, which dived at the fireball, literally passing through it as if it didn't exist.
The Divine Beast's speed was unrivaled as it reached the snake and cut it in half using its elongated golden claws. Arthur didn't stop as relied on the White Tiger's unique ability to ignore all the snakes lunging at him from below, his figure turned illusory as bypassed all the hurdles and reached Carpentine, who took out a lantern.
