149 The First Expedition Part 2 (1/2)

Midori slithered through an area of 50 miles from the portal while paying attention to anything that looked out of place, whether that was a corpse or the sounds of fighting nothing could escape her attention.

Ever since she achieved Level 30, her speed in her 1 ft form was beyond compare among the members of the team and she was able to cover 50 miles in just a couple of minutes. The area around the portal was pretty much desolated and only a few of corpses laid on the ground without any clothes on.

Midori was not one to throw Energy away and quickly melted their bodies with her poison before continuing searching the area. Midori moved like she was taking a stroll in the park and it wasn't until she reach the 50 mile mark that she saw the first group of people chasing after a rogue that tried to Ambush a group of third tiers but was unsuccessful.

The group consisted of only three people but their arrangement was known as the Holy Trinity. The term Holy Trinity was widely used amount adventures to represent a group made out of a Healer, a defensive warrior such as a guardian or a paladin and a cla.s.s that specialized in offense forsaken any sort of defense. The arrangement was known for his efficiency and safety while hunting beast thanks to all the components of the group covering the weaknesses of the others.

The Rogue being pursue was a lot stronger than anyone in the three person group and had tried to kill the healer the moment the team was distracted but it had fail miserably. when he popped up from stealth, the cleric of the group immediately cast a defensive skill mitigating the damage while the Ranger of the group fire a piercing arrow his way that preventing him from attacking further while the paladin charged at him with amazing speed.

The Rogue had no other choice but to retreat and that led to the situation Midori was observing from the side lines and in her opinion it would not be long until the rogue ran out of energy and died.

Sigh…

Midori shook her head while turning away from the area but even before she could start moving an Arrow with the tip glowing in red energy came flying straight to her forehead, it was the Ranger's Explosive Arrow and his biggest mistake.

The arrow hit Midori's forehead and exploded leaving nothing but pieces of skin in the air while blood splashed on the face of the healer that started screaming the moment he saw the headless body of the ranger moving forward while blood squirted out from his neck.

Hiss!!

It all happened too fast for the group, they had never encountered a Basilisk in all their years of adventure so they didn't know of the Horror of p.i.s.sing one off.

The Explosive Arrow hit nothing but Midori's Skin Clone and while he was distracted with the aftermath, Midori appeared from his shadow and ate his head. The augmentation in size happened in an instant and when the healer was observing the Rangers body move forward a huge object move in front of him and all he saw was a pair of Golden Eyes and then everything went dark.

BOOOM!!

Midori swung her tail and shattered the stone statue of the healer and was only then that the Paladin looked backwards and slowed his pace. The rogue he was chasing quickly disappeared from his mind and he grabbed his sword an s.h.i.+eld even more tightly.

A 20 ft serpent with a diameter of 2 ft stood in front of him and all he could do was gulped. There were protrusions coming out of the serpent's head and a double row of teeth that shone with green light as a bright green liquid drip from her mouth that caused sizzling noises every time a drop felled to the ground.

”f.u.c.k Me!” Said the paladin before placing his s.h.i.+eld forward to receive the Poison Breath coming his way.

Clank!

The breath was follow by a Ma.s.sive tail whip that sent the paladin flying 20 feet before hitting a tree that was broke in two. The paladin resilience towards poison and disease was pretty high and that barely gave him a chance to stop the poisonous gas from invading his lungs.

The paladin shook his head to regain his bearings and saw the vegetation around him dying in real time as the poisonous gas spread out.

Midori launched herself towards the palading that activated a skill called Aegis of Light that created a s.h.i.+eld of Holy power in front of his body to receive her attack but instead of ramming against it, she just twisted her body and quickly wrapped herself around him and squeezed.

It was all over, the paladin couldn't keep up with the strong poison coming from her body which consumed so much of his Holy Aura and the binding pressure kept mounting by the minute. It took only two minutes for the aegis to falter and for the bones of the paladin to break under the heavy pressure.
