Chapter 315 - Reinforcement In Combat (1/2)

Evan expected the Jade Serpent to be a serious opponent, but he didn't even have a chance to win so far. Moreover, Evan had no right to use potions. Otherwise, their duel would turn into a battle to the death.

The Jade Serpent continued to attack Evan. The beast turned into a blur and unleashed several tail blows on Evan.

Evan didn't have time to dodge, all he could do was try to block these deadly blows. He was lucky to have a 5-star weapon that could withstand almost any attack.

Even with his superior vision, Evan could barely see every flick of the beast's tail. The Jade Serpent dominated this battle from the start.

At one point, Evan began to worry that he wouldn't handle such an opponent, but that didn't make his desire to win any less. On the contrary, he wanted to defeat this serpent, which increased by the second.

Suddenly Evan's aura grew stronger, his eyes became deeper, and he seemed to fall into a kind of trance.

Evan sharply twisted the scythe in his hand and fended another strike from the Jade Serpent. Then he bounced to the side and cast several spells. The serpent easily repelled the purple beams with a flick of its tail. But, the beast was wary. Evan was much more dangerous now that he had entered the Gust.

The last time Evan entered this unique state was quite some time ago. It happened during a special test for Inner Disciples at The Last Moon Academy. Evan had wanted to kill the Bloody Berserker back then and tear his flesh apart.

But, the situation was different now. He felt no malice or hatred toward the Jade Serpent. He wanted to win and prove that he was the strongest, no matter what.

The desire to win in a fair fight was one of the noblest feelings one could feel at all.

The Jade Serpent prepared to attack, and Evan stood in a stance. He was ready to take any attack.

The beast sped up and unleashed a crushing blow on Evan, but Evan had no problem dodging this time. Moreover, he swung his scythe sharply and plunged the blade into the serpent's flesh. Magma Blood was a mighty weapon. So Evan was able to cut through the snake's tough scales, but suddenly something happened that Evan could never have expected.

The serpent's muscles began to contract, and eventually, the scythe got stuck in the monster's flesh so hard that Evan didn't have time to pull his weapon out. Next, the serpent attacked Evan with its mouth wide open trying to swallow him.

Evan suddenly jumped aside, bypassing the snake's mouth. In front of Evan's eyes, the serpent swallowed several crystal trees and massive boulders. Its mouth was like a black hole into which anything could fit.

<Damnit, I know my opponent too poorly, but I really lacked strength, I couldn't get Magma Blood out, and now I'm left unarmed.> Evan thought as he looked at the scythe embedded in the serpent's tail.

Evan wanted to try to get closer and get his weapon, but the serpent knew Evan's plan perfectly well. So, it ripped the weapon from its tail and tried to break the scythe. But, the Jade Serpent failed, so the serpent swung its tail and threw the scythe into the depths of the Glass Forest.

The beast did so that Evan could no longer use his weapon. He would have to spend quite a bit of time to find his scythe. It was impossible to do that during such a dangerous battle.
