Chapter 319 - The Dark Serpent (1/2)
Evan's duel with the Jade Serpent ended in a real cataclysm that changed half of the Glass Forest beyond recognition. These changes and massive energy fluctuations didn't go unnoticed.
The mages who were near the Glass Forest at the time headed into the area to find out what had happened there.
The black, massive serpent headed towards Evan and weakly bowed, accepting his defeat. Evan had not defeated the serpent by inflicting mortal wounds on it, but he was able to change an entire area and make the Jade Serpent stronger. This spoke volumes about his true strength and hidden potential.
Moreover, in Jade Serpent's opinion, Evan's spirit suited the serpent to submit to him. It was a fair fight, with unique events and a fair ending.
Evan put his hand on the serpent's head and calmly said, ”Your name is now Zith. Our fight was one of the best of my life. I can state that with certainty.”
Zith just hissed back, and Evan jumped on his head and said, ”Reykar!”
Simultaneously, a purple raven flew in and sat on Evan's shoulder. All the while, Reykar was watching their fight closely. Moreover, at some points, he was almost seriously wounded.
Evan's fire and the storm of chaos were truly formidable and unpredictable attacks. However, Reykar was far from an ordinary monster, albeit with difficulty, remained unharmed.
<I ended up with my riding beast. Like Rave said, if I defeat them in a fair fight, they will accept defeat and acknowledge me as master. That's good, but I've given up too much for this. I need to get ready to summon the 65th demon.> Thought Evan was looking at the altered glass forest.
During this battle, he had better learn how to control the chaos energy. But, there was one big problem, he didn't know how to emit it at would.
Evan was sure that if he practiced a little, he would create similar whirlwinds in the future. Moreover, now he could partially control the chaos energy. But, it only appeared during Splash.
<Hmm, I need to learn more about the mage's hidden power that manifests itself during Splash. I need to learn how to create chaos energy at will, not just when Splash happens.>
Evan has learned and gained a lot during this battle. But, he also lost a lot, and Evan was also overwhelmed by the power of the Jade Serpent.
<I had to use every spell I knew, sacrifice 300 years of life to the demon, enter Gust, and even create a storm of chaos. Only after all that was I able to win. Moreover, I received a huge number of wounds. Most likely, the blood of some mighty being flows in Zith's body. I have no other explanation for its abnormal strength.> Evan thought.
They both have to use only their power during a fight between a beast and a mage. Some might say that Evan won unfairly because he used the demon's power, but that was not the case.
Many spells in this world hurt the mage for their power. Demon spells were somewhat similar. Only the stakes were hundreds of times greater.
Evan looked around and saw his scythe sticking out of the ground in the distance. He said quietly, ”Zith, over there.”
Whoooosh.
