Chapter 109 - A Decently Strong Opponent (4) (1/2)
After a few seconds had passed...
Currently, the Dokkaen, who was now lying on the yellow ground some meters away from the explosion site, stared at the cloudless bright sky with a blank face...
As the explosion had occurred too close to its body, causing it to have a heavy concussion, ears deaf, eyes blurred, and body numb...
Soon...
*Cough*
*Cough*
The Dokkaen suddenly coughed up green blood from the mouth as it appeared that some of its internal organs were damaged from the impact earlier.
After coughing for a few seconds, the Dokkaen finally gained back some senses. Then it struggled up from the ground with difficulty...
*Huff* *Huff*
*Huff* *Huff*
The muscular green skin outlander huffed in and out from its nose and mouth like it had just undergone and finished an arduous session of exercise...
Eventually, it shook its head from left to right to reduce the numbness in the head before suddenly realizing a round object with protruding needles was stabbing firmly on its bare chest...
The protruding needles stabbing on its chest right now were none other than the morningstar's flanged head.
It appeared that the explosion earlier had propelled the flanged head back towards the Dokkaen's bare chest, causing the sharp needles to penetrate deep inside its green flesh.
The muscular green creature gritted its teeth very strongly upon seeing the sight and took a deep breath before finally pulling the flanged head out of its chest.
*Plush*
Followed the plushing sound from the needles being pulled out, fresh green blood started oozing out from the small wounds continually.
'I underestimate him... The human mage had cast three spells within five seconds... How did he do it?' The wounded Dokkaaen thought to himself in dismay, puzzlement, and pain.
It shouldn't have underestimated the human, after all...
In fact, if Jeremy were a class-1 True Mage, the battle would have ended even before the Dokkaen could take the first step in his direction.
After thinking about the human, the injured Dokkaen had finally realized something,
'Where is he!?' The Dokkaen thought in a hurried manner.
It realized that the battle hadn't ended yet, so it turned left and right to find the damnable human mage, Jeremy...
Even after turning its head left and right for some seconds, the Dokkaen still couldn't find Jeremy anywhere within the oval amphitheater.
How was that even possible?
Well, it was possible because Jeremy was using the [Stealth] skill and was standing still under a shadowing shade within the arena.
As the wounded Dokkaen was sweeping its eyes around hurriedly, in compliment with its two blurred eyes from the explosion earlier had made it unable to spot the stealthy Jeremy under the shade.
'Mana Bolt'
Jeremy thought inwardly while seeing the Dokkaen was now looking in another direction.
At this moment...
Upon turning its head around the arena for two full rounds, the Dokkaen finally saw something, but...
Unfortunately, the thing it had spotted was not Jeremy, but another deadly mana bolt came bolting towards it.
*Whoosh*
A mana bolt bigger than a tennis ball's size came flying towards the Dokkaen at breakneck speed, leaving the unprepared green creature to look in hopelessness and despair...
Due to its unpreparedness, it could only raise the two arms to defend against the incoming deathly ball of mana...
With one-hundred-percent sheer instinct, the muscular creature drove every ounce of wind elemental energy from within its dantians towards the two thick arms in front of its body.
The wounded Dokkaen intended to brace itself for a direct deadly impact...
A split second later, the mana bolt finally arrived before the creature's arms...
*BOOOMMMM!!!*
Another big explosion rang out once again for the fourth time within mere ten seconds after the battle had started.
It was such a sight to behold...
Every time after an explosion had occurred, even before the dust and dirt could fall back down to the ground, another explosion and wave of yellow dust came creating new havoc once again.
As for the wounded Dokkaen...
Unfortunately, the wind-elemental energy did not excel in defending against any types of attacks in the least, so even if its body was solid and strong like metal, it had to bend and break after this explosion...
