Chapter 172: New Evolution Material! (1/2)
Elliot saw blood drizzling out of the cracks on its meaty head as it went backward and crashed into many trees. That was just one of the disadvantages of being big and bulky; the wider the body, the harder it gets to evade things in the terrain. The trees it crashed on nearly snapped in half, some of them slanting towards it, shadowing its figure.
The gigantic snake groaned, convulsing even as a huge amount of pain assaulted its senses, making its vision grow blurry.
However, both It and Elliot knew that—if given enough time—it would heal due to its high level of vitality and unbelievable regeneration.
”Guys, look at the wounds on its body!” Nina said in a somewhat shaky voice while sitting on the golden cloud and pointing her index fingers at its head.
She didn't even need to say a word, though, as everyone was already staring at it in vigilance. The cracks on the monster's head were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Its tongue slithered out of its mouth, licking the ruby alien blood trickling down its forehead, which resulted in its wound healing at a faster rate. They knew that attacking it while it was down was the best way to come out of this situation unharmed. However, they didn't attack as they didn't have magic energy in their body, making it impossible for them to activate their superpowers. Fighting it barehanded was also out of the question. Scales were covering its entire body, and no matter how much strength they use in their fists or kicks, it will be impossible to do any damage to it.
The snake started wiggling its body, highlighting the fact that only in a few moments It had recollected its senses and healed enough to move. Its movement didn't escape Elliot's eyes, however, and he immediately released a volley of blue energy blast towards its direction.
”Don't blame me for being merciless.” He said: the intent to kill flowing out of his bright eyes, as the energy blasts crashed—not on It—but the trees that just needed a slight push to snap in half.
”Crack~” The trees snapped and dropped on top of the poor monster that was unable to move out of their way in time. Its three eyes widened, nearly popping out of their sockets as one of the heavy trees smacked its head, breaking all three of its horns and causing it to kiss the ground and eat dirt. The other trees smashed on its back, black wings, and black and sharp as knife tail, giving a beating of its life.
The onlookers were equally surprised, and their mouths gaped in shock. The absurdity of the situation was enough to cause their eyes to widen. The monster that could end their life in a flash, even if they put up resistance, was no different than a spoiled child in need of a spanking in front of Elliot!
[Monster Name: Shadow Hunter]
[Health Point: 300/1000]
[Spiritual Energy: 980 units]
A notification popped up in Elliot's mind when he looked at It with the intent of knowing how much more beating it needs to breathe its last, and he was happy to see that it was nearing death.
The snake's tongue had lolled out of its mouth due to the beating it received, and It currently tasted dirt and blood. Its blood was like ruby, solid, and one could say that shards of ruby were leaking out of its head and flesh that was in a mess.
Right now, it looked like a red velvet cake, and Elliot was ready to devour it!
He pointed his hand toward the wounded snake, and immediately after, spiritual energy surged out of his palm, swirling and curling, condensing into the shape of a blue ball of energy that shot towards the monster's head.
[-15 spiritual energy]
[-20 spiritual energy]
[-5 spiritual energy]
The same thing happened many times as he rapidly released many blue energy blasts from his palm that shot towards its ugly mug. The wounded monster had no way of evading his attacks. After all, Elliot had trapped It under many trees. Not to mention, It lacked the strength to move its body.
Bam! [-20 HP!
Bam! [-15 HP]
Bam! [-30 HP]
The energy blast crashed on its face, one after another, just as he intended them to, and as expected, the explosions caused severely damaged it.
The force of the energy blasts disfigured it and brought it one breath away from death. However, it was still alive and glaring at Elliot. Its stare was full of viciousness, and if looks could deal damage to another, Elliot would've already lost all his HP.
”Still not death.” Elliot clicked his tongue, annoyed by the fact that he failed to take it down even after using a technique he just created. ”What a persistence bastard.”
