Chapter 209 (2/2)

* * *

Was it the end? It was a devastating explosion and Zhen Sulong was probably critically injured. I naturally didn’t receive any damage due to my resistance to fire. It was a calculated move from the beginning. If it wasn’t the case, I would’ve been crazy to cause a massive explosion from such a close distance.

At this moment, my super sensitivity was triggered. I couldn’t help opening my eyes at the familiar sound that came through my sensitive hearing. At the same time, a blue lightning dragon flew through the smoke. I reflexively avoided it, but it unfortunately brushed against my left arm.

[You have been hit by blue lightning.]

[The abnormal status ‘paralysis’ has been triggered.]

[The time left until the paralysis of your left arm is relieved is two seconds, one second...]

“Damn, he is still fine,” I complained. Another blue lightning dragon flew at me. I twisted as if I was spinning through the air to escape the second attack. However, it was the largest lightning dragon I had ever seen that emerged from the smoke. “This is crazy...!”

Zhen Sulong rushed in with the shape of the blue lightning dragon wrapped around him and I reflexively triggered Stone Skin. I received the full hit and felt my body being pushed by a huge force.

“Kuoock...!”

I was bounced away by the lightning and barely managed to open my eyes. My body was flying toward the outside of the stage. The attack was so powerful that 1/3rd of my health was consumed. I now had less than one-fifth of my health. It was time to determine victory or defeat.

I fired a cobweb to the ceiling and reduced my speed. I circled in the air and stood horizontally on the barrier. It was Spider Climbing, another one of a spider’s strengths. However, Zhen Sulong didn’t give me a break like he had expected it. I jumped quickly as Zhen Sulong punched the place where I had just been. Five parts of the barrier were destroyed, showing me his power.

...Crazy. How did Reinhardt stand up to this?

I probably would’ve turned to powder in one shot if I hadn’t activated Stone Skin in time. I stretched out another cobweb to the ceiling and crossed the stadium. However, there was a problem.

[Your cobwebs have been exhausted.]

“Dammit.”

It ran out at this important moment. Just then, Zhen Sulong turned around and attacked me in the air. It was a ranged attack where a large number of small lightning dragons were fired.

“...Crazy. Can you levitate?”

Looking closely, Zhen Sulong was floating in the air. Powerful blue lightning was supporting the ground and he was now literally a lightning dragon. I quickly released the cobweb and fell to the ground. At the same time, I activated a skill.

[The constellation skill: Black Night Wolves Summoning has been triggered.]

The bottom of the stadium was covered with thick fog and five huge black wolves rose. I landed lightly on the back of one of them and my heart throbbed.

“Kuek...”

[The Black Night Heart has started pumping.]

[After five minutes, there might be side effects.]

I commanded four black night wolves to attack Zhen Sulong. The showdown between the giant lightning dragon and giant wolves was like a scene from a movie.

[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is watching you.]

I didn’t have time to greet Romelana. I triggered Black Night Arrow straight away.

[The constellation magic ‘Black Night Arrow’ has been used.]

A giant arrow appeared in my right hand. It was like a combination of a black vortex and white icicle. I looked back at the place where the fighting was taking place.

“How rotten. The wolves are no match.”

Maybe it was natural. Romelana might have the power of a first-grade constellation now, but she was only second-grade when she gave me this power. Meanwhile, Zhen Sulong’s Lightning Dragon’s Descent was Raitra’s killing move. It would be too much for the wolves to deal with a martial artist like Zhen Sulong. Even the ignorant Reinhardt had been beaten.

Three wolves were killed in an instant and I ordered the one I was riding to rush forward. It ran at high speed while I thrust forward the object in my hand. I wanted to approach him in order to avoid giving him a chance to dodge. The black night wolf I was riding ran up to Zhen Sulong and I could see his startled expression. Seizing the window of opportunity, I threw the object in my hand without hesitation and the Black Night Arrow flew forward, narrowly brushing past his shoulder.

In the first place, he wasn’t my target. The arrow swirled and turned into the mouth of a huge wolf and bit at the lightning dragon’s neck. Blue lightning and the black vortex collided and caused small black snow to fall on the stadium. They soon got tangled up and caused a huge explosion.

I was unable to support my body under the huge wind pressure and flew back, rolling over the stage. Fortunately, I didn’t go out of bounds. I barely managed to get up and looked forward to see that all the black night wolves were gone. At the same time, the pressure on my heart stopped automatically.

“Pant. Pant... Did I win?”

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case.

“Kuock!”

Zhen Sulong’s health was much lower than before, but there was still a quarter left. He walked over with blood still flowing from his left arm.

“Sigh. It is really painful. It would’ve been dangerous if I hadn’t used the power of the lightning dragon to protect my body. As expected of Brother.”

“...You are like a c.o.c.kroach.”

He still had strength left as he walked over and raised the blue lightning once again. It was weaker than it used to be but it was still enough to defeat me. I was almost out of magic power. It was because most of it was put into the Black Night Arrow. It seemed I lost...

The only thing I had left was the wind magic power, but I couldn’t beat him even if I used it. Other than that, I had the power of Rising Sun around my legs. I looked at the sun fire around both legs and made up my mind once again. I should do what I could. I wouldn’t be Choi Chuntaek if I gave up like this. Even now, my kicking skills were still strong.

I didn’t have the magic power to use Stone Skin and the speed would be very slow, but I could still fight and somehow pull through if I aimed for a counterattack. I started stretching my legs. Then at this moment...

[World: A new Temple of the Wind has been completed in Metheus!]

“Huh?”

I received a message that the Temple of the Wind had been completed in Metheus. The meaning was obvious.

[Goddess Quest - Goddess of Revival and Wind, Huera’s Request has been completed.]

[The blessing of the Goddess of Revival and Wind has been granted!]

[The goddess has given you the ‘Eye of the Wind.’]
