Chapter 813: “Monster”
Translator: TransN Editor: Meh
Suddenly, Nightingale’s view was no longer obscured.
Seeing this shocking event unfold, the demonic beasts slowed down and instead of crazily trying to surround her, they refused to move forward as if they were scared of her.
These demonic hybrids were scared.
The monster hanging on top of the cave waved its tentacles and roared furiously, but it didn’t achieve the desired effect. The only ones who still followed its orders were three sickle monsters. They were now powerless and could no longer threaten Nightingale. The tight line of defense had now been broken.
No enemy could now stop her.
Nightingale gathered what was left of her magic power and rushed towards the dome center.
As she was closing in, she finally understood what Fran meant by abnormal.
The opponent was not so much a creature as it was a pile of exposed organs. It had neither epidermis nor muscular tissue while vascular intestines, tentacles, and organs that couldn’t even be named were all stacked up, looking both unstable and horrible.
Obviously, throwing explosives into the monster’s mouth was not possible. Nightingale turned her gaze to a pack of vibrating “meatballs”. Although she was not certain whether it was a vital organ of the monster or not, it was at least placed much deeper and had flowing magic light inside. She guessed that the explosion of the explosives would inevitably cause more damage there.
It was a risky plan, but she only had one chance.
This fight required one fatal blow.
The more she was closing in, the more she could feel its size. Those complex intestines were as thick as a house while the rest of the stacked up organs looked like a castle.
The only difference was that this castle was alive.
Seeing that the sickle monsters could not stop her, the monster started moving.
It shot several slender tentacles from within its body, trying to stop Nightingale. Some of the tentacles were like steel whips, which could easily break the rocks in the mountain, but were not very difficult to deal with. As long as she observed the silhouette of these tentacles in advance, she could use the empty spaces between them to avoid them. It was similar to penetrating a wall.
A few tentacles that contained magic power and could use different abilities were a different problem all together. Those colorful magical beams were particularly striking in the black and white world and Nightingale definitely did not want to experience what was like to get hit by them, so she used flash to avoid them. This, in turn, would greatly increase the consumption of her magic power.
Thankfully, the distance between the monster and her was not huge.
Only a few moments had passed before she stepped on the monster’s huge body, who roared furiously, but in fear of hurting itself, stopped attacking recklessly with its tentacles. Nightingale instantly felt very relieved. She didn’t hesitate to open her backpack, took out a pack of explosives, and rushed straight towards the meatballs.
She pulled off her next moves instantaneously. She pulled the fuse, stuffed the green smoked explosive and the backpack into the meatballs, and then returned to the misty world, hanging upside down. Then, she pushed with both of her feet and lunged towards the underground lake like an arrow.
The monster also noticed her movements but it did not seem to understand why the enemy would try so hard to get near just to leave a moment later without doing anything. As for the bag, in the monster’s eyes, there was no threat at all. For a moment, it even forgot to move its tentacles to chase after the witch who was quickly falling.
The most dangerous place in the misty world was in midair. She would break into pieces if she hit some airflow silhouettes when she was falling and so she stopped exerting her ability and waved goodbye to the monster.
Curiously, at that moment, she thought of Roland.
Whenever they were testing gunpowder, he would always turn his back to the testing ground and say that real warriors never looked at an explosion. Even though both Agatha and her would roll their eyes at him, he didn’t mind as if he had just completed a ritual that only he knew about.
Thinking about that, Nightingale coudn’t help but smile.
But right now, she didn’t want to imitate him.
It was not about being a real warrior or not.
