Chapter 221: Priceless Reaction (b) (2/2)
All because the attack was the ultimate move of the serpentine devil.
It used to have another one, but it lost it after Its lord found out about its crimes!
The serpentine devil's face was full of wrinkles, and it was without any scales and skin. Both things were ripped off his flesh because of the lashing it ate weeks ago, and they still hadn't shown any signs of regrowing on his skin. So, it looked hideous. And when it saw Elliot effortlessly blocking its attack, its expression crumpled, causing it to look even uglier as if it was a featherless duck suffering from constipation.
”Why shouldn't it be possible? I'm physically and magically stronger than you, so of course, It makes sense that I will be able to block your trashy attack.”
Elliot's taunt pierced its heart, causing it to rage more.
Who was it?
It was the great serpent, and currently, the 72nd ranked demonic general of Lord Belphegor's army!
It used its most vigorous attack to destroy this mortal!
Yet, it failed!
Simply devastating!
It felt even more mentally injured because of Elliot's words.
”Hey, if you're just going to stay behind that crack in space and stay silent, then you better scram back to the rat hole you crawled out of. Stop ruining my fun, you weakling.”
It had conquered several worlds, four in total!
So, how the hell was it a weakling?!
Elliot's words got on its nerves, pinching them repeatedly.
”Today, I will teach you that there's a price to pay for overbearing arrogance!”
Without any hesitation, it let the ritual continue as intended. It no longer cared about Tyler. It could just search for a talented subordinate in another world. For now, it wanted to give it all in killing Elliot. It wasn't a fool. It could tell that Elliot was a young human mortal, not even a fully grown one. So, it came to believe that Elliot would become more potent if given enough time. That's why it decided to strangle the child in the cradle and now allow it to grow up. Only then would it feel safe and satisfied with the situation.
Everyone saw a dark figure slowly seeping out of the crimson eyes and getting out of the gaping black hole in space. That dark line was the chaotic power of the serpentine devil, a part of its total strength.
It moved in mid-air and charged towards Tyler. Now, both Elliot and instructor Leonardo could make a move to stop it from reaching its target. However, they didn't make a single move. One was doing it solely for greed. The stronger Tyler gets, the more essence of life he would earn after butchering him up! The other wanted to probe Elliot's limit.
”Ugh!”
The black line descended inside Tyler's messed up, muscular body, causing his body to inflate even more!
