Ha, my dragonewt form can handle this! I thought optimistically as I thought that my magic could handle this if that is the status board of the strongest one.
However, my overconfidence caught me out of surprise here, as the panguana trio weren't willing to give me any time to think of a strategy as they just dived into battle, leaping onto me with their powerful hind legs.
I was only able to react to this sudden attack purely cause of my skills and buff spells. If [Prediction] and [Danger Perception] hadnt warned me or if I hadnt cast [Haste] and [Swift Winds] onto myself, then I would have lost over half my mana, and maybe also my Health, due to my negligence.
Narrowly ducking under the combined triple attack, I couldnt help but finally acknowledge that going into this with my dragonewt form wasnt the greatest idea. It worked with the trolls as my agility surpassed theirs but trying to avoid the attacks of these monsters was too much of a strain on my Stamina.
It also doesn't help that the area that we were fighting in had water on the ground, high enough that they reached my legs. It only slowed me down by a bit, but any extra effort will sap my Stamina even further.
I need some distance! Terra Wall! Flame Explosion! The rest, shoot Inferno Blasts at them!
Turning my head around, I threw away caution for the forest and dedicated myself to winning this battle. Still moving through the air, I constructed a wall made of earth behind them, blocking their direct line of sight to me.
Knowing that they could easily sense me using [Enhanced Enemy Sense Lv. 9], I immediately readied multiple [Inferno Blast]s and [Flame Explosion], finishing my preparations.
[Tasianna!] I called out to the fairy clutching my horns.
[Y-Yes, Im ready, Lady Hestia!] she answered slightly anxious.
[Good! Rajah, grab onto my shoulders, like your life is hanging on it!] I shouted, making sure that my virigress pet understood my order.
M-Mreow, knowing that I was correct, he made himself smaller and sat on my back like a backpack.
I planned to give Rajah some bombs so he could drop them onto an enemys head, while their attention was directed at me. Verdammt, if Saori were here then she could throw them or even use my venom to coat her claws with poison.
These panguanas wouldnt be affected by any minor or moderate grade toxins. Rajah had [Poison Resistance] but he couldn't use any of them, due to its low level. It was too dangerous to give him anything at major grade.
Verdammt nochmal, why did I half-ass this plan. Dummkopf, Rajah isnt Saori! Ahhh, why didnt I expect something like this will happen!
While I was warning my companions, the three panguanas jumped out of the cover of my [Terra Wall], prompting me to activate my barrage of spells. Predicting that something was about to happen, instead of dodging it, two of them simply shoved the one close to all the attacks. Even more surprising, he didnt resist and embraced all the attacks.
The [Inferno Blast]s melted through his hardy scales, searing the flesh that was behind it. Taking all of these attacks, the panguanas health melted until it reached 60%, that was when my [Flame Explosion] activated and sent the burning iguana-tiger chimera flying away.
The sheer heat of these fire spells caused the surrounding water to evaporate, creating a smokescreen to hide the other panguanas from plain sight.
No level up? Scheie, did it survive?!
Without a System notification, if I gained experience or not, I was unsure if my attacks killed it or not, but I couldn't afford to pay attention to the heavily wounded one when the other two are still on their feet.
Using the sacrifice of their comrade, the two remaining monsters escaped my attacks with singed hairs and slightly cracked scales. Due to [Humanized (Moderate)] reducing my original Agility to 2851, [Swift Winds] wasnt enough to significantly close in the difference. The stat contrast showed as their combined assault sent me into the defense, relying on my max leveled [Evasion] and [Acrobatic] to stay alive.
[Frozen Shield!]
Unveiling the ice-white magic circle, Tasianna materialized a shield in front of me to block the next attack, stopping it but the panguanas claw attack pushed the shield into my arm.
Urghi, instantly feeling numb, I couldnt help but moan as my wet scales stuck onto the freezing shield. [[Cryokinesis]! Use it and help me push!]
Enduring through the cold pain, I gripped the shield with my other hand and with the help of Tasianna controlling her spell, were able to move the shield in the direction of the other panguana. As the one that attacked the shield also had wet forelegs, sharing my fate, he was dragged with the shield.
Wind Blast!
Activating the wind spell behind the shield, it tore off my scales as it launched itself like a cannon forward. The one we aimed at deftly dodged this attack and continued advancing towards me, not even glancing at his unfortunate teammate who unwillingly crashed into a tree due to his stuck arm.
Stay away! Spark Flame!
Gnashing my fangs to cause a fire, I spewed out intense dragon fire to defend myself. The powerful fire easily transformed anything liquid into a white mist. As the stream of fire showed no sign of disappearing, the panguana understood that it couldnt attack while I kept using my dragon breath.
[Lady Hestia, I didnt mean to,] Tasianna wanted to say something, sweat covering her forehead from being close to my [Spark Flame].
[Talk later! Ready the next spell, Tasianna!] I interrupted my companion, who still wasnt completely used to fighting.
Using this opportunity, I warmed up my shivering arms and healed them with [Moderate Heal] to regrow my scales. At the same time, I activated [Humanize], finally having enough time to transform into a more suitable form to close into the stat difference.
While the mana mist surrounded my body, I had to stop using my dragon fire, allowing the panguana to attack again. Like anybody else, he understood that I was up to something, so he didnt waste this chance to end me.
Lunging forward, the panguana used his massive arms to swipe down at me, knowing one hit could severely injure me.
[Humanized (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Spark Inferno Dragon, Hestia Atsuko]
However, it was too late.
Kriiiiiaarrgghhhh!
Screaming a roar, I jumped and twisted my body around, dodging the panguanas attack at the very last second.
Take this, slither tail!
As my body continued twirling in the air like a rotating screw, an opportunity showed up where I could wrap my tail around the neck of the panguana, constricting it like a snake.
Now on the monsters back, I put more pressure on my tail to choke every single breath out of my opponent.
Kraaaaaaaaahhh!
Roaring once again, I allowed the monster side of me rip through the monsters throat with [Spark Fang], tearing out cooked pieces of meat with my sickle-like claws.
Technically, I could have gone back into my dragon form and overwhelmed them with my higher stats, but I thought that this was a chance to continue training with a humanoid body. Going back to a [Humanized Lv. 5] appearance, I reduced the transforming penalty back to only 1/3rd of my stats while keeping the slim frame of my dragonewt form.
With my active buff spells, my current body had enough Agility to surpass them, while also being a smaller target to hit for any incoming attacksjust like now.
Obeying [Prediction], I ducked.
[Ice Spike!]
Kriiiiieeeeh! something above me cried out in pain.
Looking up, I saw an [Ice Spike] having penetrated my attacker's mouth. The sharp spike made it impossible for the panguana to close its mouth as any attempts were doomed to freeze in place. Using my tail as an anchor, I spun my body around and used the momentum I gained to punched the panguana in its face.
Dragon punch...ah, come on System, just give me those abilities already.
Unfortunately, slither tail and dragon punch was somehow not accepted by the Systembummer.
[Woo, nice shot, Tasianna,] I complimented my current fighting partner.
Flustered by my praise, Tasianna stumbled on her words as she smiled, [O-Oh, yes, thank you very much, Lady-watch out!]
Agitated by Tasiannas warning, I was about to cast [Sanctuary] but stopped when Tasianna shouted: "I can do it!". Turning my head around, I realized what was about to hit us wasn't claws or a bite but a white frisbee.
Struggling on my head, Tasianna stretched out her arms and told the frisbee to stopwhich it surprisingly did! Upon a closer look, the rotating object wasn't a sports object but the [Frozen Shield] that Tasianna created.
[W-Woah, I-I actually did it,] Tasianna said, seemingly surprised by her ability to control her own spell with [Cryokinesis]
Noticing that the panguana that just threw the shield jumping at us, I released my tail hold from the panguana with the torn throat and used it as a spear to drill a hole into its arm whilst diverting it away from my body.
While it wasnt very deep, I made sure that the spikes on my tail had the venom created with my [Toxin Secretion] coated onto them. My tests have shown that I can sweat my toxin and that I can sweat it through the scales of my tail.
As my tail was just wrapped around the neck of the panguana that I was standing on, this guy was about to die from blood loss, suffocation, drowning from his own blood, and my specially made venom that would definitely infect these highly resistant panguana.
To further help me with my [Toxin Secretion] tests, I wanted to know what would happen if a major grade poison were to affect a monster with [Poison Resistance Lv. 8]. Of course, my observation can stop after I help the lizardmen.
Looking at the panguana who was stung by my tail, I noticed that he had frozen scales on his arm, which made my eyes move to the side to look at the one that had an ice spike sticking out of its throat.
Oi, where are its burns?!
The panguana that I sucker-punched was the one who shielded everybody so how was it aliveand why does he only have minimal amounts of burned skin?
A quick search through its status board showed me that its miraculous regeneration was due to its [Molting] skill.
Molting
A skill that can only be owned by those that can naturally molt. The owner of this skill may use Mana and Stamina to molt their current skin away, regenerating Health and any skin-based status ailments in an instant. Consecutive usage in a short time will increase the cost of the skill while also inflicting [Starvation] after
He hasnt fully regenerated his Health but thats pretty strong if you give somebody the time to do itwoah!
As I gauging the potential of the skill, the panguana under me finally showed its desperation when it noticed that its comrades have failed to free it. Struggling to kick me off, it rampaged around like a mad bull, shaking me around as I stood on its back.
Deciding that I only needed one research subject, I jumped up into the air from its back. Using [Air Walk] and my now released wings, I jumped higher into the sky and cast [Scorching Sun] in my hand, letting it grow even larger as time passed.
Once I was satisfied with its size, I used my unoccupied hand to materialized a large green magic circle behind me. Once again using [Wind Blast], I mumbled my praises for this spells flexibility due to how often Ive been using it.
Releasing both spells, my body boosted towards the location of the panguana with the torn throats and I crashed my giant sun onto the monster, overkilling it.
Experience has reached a breaking point. [Young Spark Inferno Dragon, Hestia Atsuko] has risen from [Level 26] to [Level 27]
Attributes have increased due to level up
Acquired 600 skill points
As I was stuffing the now blackened panguana into my storage, I suddenly heard a giant explosion further in the rainforest, loud enough that it sent a few birds flying into the air.
[Scheie, we have no time anymore! Tasianna were moving!] I said, realizing that I was enjoying that battle a little bit too much.
While I was summoning up multiple magic circles to prepare my rocket launch maneuver, I was suddenly hit in the head.
***********************************************
As Hestia was dealing with the three panguanas on her side, Caszcur and the lizardmen guards finally caught up with the two remaining panguanas and the group that they were chasing.
Hey, you algae infested corpse! Look over here you stinking skink! a loud, gruff lizard-like voice shouted.
You two krill eaters afraid to fight us? Come and fight some actual warriors, you damn monsters! another lizard shouted from the top of his lungs.
"Don't look at them, look at me, you palette disasters! Smell the delicious aroma from this food? A fair-scaled one cooked for me, so if you want some then come and get it!" another lizardman shouted, holding pieces of his breakfast that Hestia cooked for the group.
These shouting lizards were none other than Casczur and the lizard group, barely able to keep up with the fast-moving panguanas. The only reason why they were still this close to them, able to call them out was due to Hestia's help.
Being launch through the air, crashing and breaking through trees, wasnt a very enjoyable experience for any of the lizardmen, as the [Air Shield] simply protected them but didnt prevent the nausea-inducing rotations.
Despite this hardship, the power and speed they managed to gain were enough that they landed right in front of the panguanas. Quickly recovering from the landing because [Featherfall] prevented all the fall damage, Caszcur and the others began throwing the poison bombs at the panguanas, however, to no avail.
Hestia, as she didnt want to risk Caszcurs life, decided to give them bombs filled with moderate grade poison gas, something that she can heal in the worst case that their [Air Shield] was somehow dispelled.
Having no effects on the panguanas, Caszcur and the others were shocked to learn that something they saw the effectiveness a day before wasnt working. Not knowing what to do, they tried to threaten and look intimidating to scare the panguanas away.
They were courageous enough to insult the monsters that killed the remaining powerful hunters in their group, but they weren't stupid to attack them. Their role was not to fight and win but to buy Hestia enough time so she could arrive. They might be able to kill a normal human with ease, but these lizardmen were outclassed against the vicious monsters of the Belzac forest.
Ignoring the small group, the panguanas ran past them and continued their original pursuit, forcing the rescue party to follow them. As they were outmatched against the C rank monsters immensely high Agility, it was impossible for them to catch up even with [Haste] and [Swift Winds] increasing theirs.
Fuck! We have no choice now! Im using our first bomb, so stay back! Caszcur announced to the others.
As the two monsters were about to escape their sight, Caszcur decided to use the first of their three firebombs. Remembering Hestias instructions, he pulled out the pin and threw it using the Strength that he gained from [Holy Strength] and [Strengthening Flame] at the running monsters.
As the bomb flew through the air, a gas slowly seeped into the chamber of the magic circle. As the concentration of gas increased there, it finally reached the necessary amount and exploded mid-air.
The giant flame explosion blew away trees, vegetation, and even ground away. The panguanas, being fast enough to outrun the initial explosion were lucky enough to avoid any critical wounds, but it didnt leave them unscathed as the shockwave caught them.
Disappearing from sight due to the smoke, the lizardmen were ecstatic that their desperate throw actually hit the monsters. Rushing past the affected area, Caszcur and the lizardmen guards caught a glimpse of the fleeing group, finally confirming that it truly was their lost comrades.
Hey! Scale-kins, its us, its us! wavering his spear above his head, Caszcur used his husky voice to stop them from running. Stop running, its us; your scale brothers have come back for you!
As the lizardmen guard also joined in, the combined voices started to sound familiar to the fleeing lizardmen. As they turned their tired faces around, their desperate faces only got worse when they noticed what was approaching them. Whether it was fatigue due to a severe lack of sleep and food, or not knowing how to feel due to all the surprises they have witnessed today, the ragged group of missing lizardmen pointed their fingers at Caszcurs direction, mumbling L-L-Lo-Look.
Hey, dont weep on us yet, you krill eaters. We still need to get you out of here! misunderstanding their stuttering and widen eyes for elation and relief, Caszcur continued shouting cheerfully at the sight of his friends.
They might look like they went through hell but Caszcur recognized that quite a few lizardmen were still alive. Although he still remembered the dead comrade he found before and the total number of missing lizardmen were fewer than he wished, he wouldnt let sadness control him now.
These lizardmen have lost their homes, become slaves, had to devour their own dying scale-kins to stay alive, and now they actually went through the hell that was the Belzac forest. Caszcurs heart stung from all the people he has lost over in these two years of his tumultuous life.
However, it is through this hardship that he has learned to find joy and hope in the little things in life, even if its fleeting. Without this, then he couldnt have held onto his sanity over all this time, eventually sharing the same deranged mind that Apsala has gained due to being the groups alchemist.
That was why he wasnt able to understand anything until the last moment.
"Look behind you!" a lizardman finally found the courage to warn their scale-kinshowever, it was too late.
Dread filled his heart when Caszcur finally turned around, and in just like a flash he could only see bloodhis own blood. Without letting his brain register the sensation, the momentum of the attack slammed his body onto the ground.
The impact caused him to cough out any remaining air in his lungs as he laid on the ground battered.
Kraa! Ha ha huff huffhuff-kraahhhhhhhhhhh! Caszcur let out a scream filled with pain and anguish.
Getting back the oxygen that he needed to survive, it only took his brain a few seconds to finally realized that he was bleeding profusely from his open wound. Pain coursed through his nerves until he was forced to yell in a pained voice as if it was a reflex.
No, no, no, no, arrgh! My arm!
Looking at the origin for his pain, Caszcurs eyes were directed at the bloody stump that was once his forearm. He couldnt believe it; he didnt want to believe it. His dominant right hand was no more, his trusted body part that he has used over and over again as he cut wood, polished them and used them to create many tools and homes for his fellow scale-kins.
The realization that his effort was gone to his lost limp made him hysterical as he shouted and screamed, destroying his already hoarse voice.
Caszcur! a lizardmen guard shouted.
Surround him! Protect him, scale-kins! another shouted, ordering the other four guards to flank Caszcur.
You slug brains! G-Get, argh, the hell away from me and help our scale-kins! Caszcur forced himself to speak, demanding everyone to protect the group that they were planning to rescue.
Fuck off, you krill eater! a guard responded back in kind. Havent you noticed yet? Instead of going for anybody else, they directly went for you.
Slice off the groups head, you. Disorganize us by killing you, another stated. "But I have the feeling that they are just here for revenge. He, just look at those skinks face, Caszcur."
The two panguana had them surrounded, one behind him and one directly in front of his face; the very same one that bit off his arm and was now dangling it in front of him. By turning his head around, he noticed what his comrades were telling him, that the panguanas faces were charred red and black, the remnants of their scales that were melted off from the firebombs explosion.
Ha, besides, dont forget why were here, a third spoke. We only have to wait for our fair-scaled one. I have the feeling that the lass, Hestia, is about finished with her part of the job. We bought enough timenow we just need to buy just a bit moreeven if it costs us our lives.
We die together, Caszcur, is what Caszcur was thinking when he heard this. Every single lizardman joining this rescue mission was already aware the chances of surviving were low. Even with Hestia's healing spells, they can't be sure that she would be around every single second, as it was the situation now.
They understood that they joined purely so they could direct and help however they could give Hestia the chance to rescue the rest. The lives of six old scale lizardmen were nothing compared to the lives of the many, especially when it includes many young scales. They were happy to trade theirs for them.
Lizardmen werent the most warlike beastmen race, but they still took pride in strength and hunting prowess. They might have been craftsmen, but their pride as men stung whenever they saw a hunter dying in front of them, protecting the important craftsmen of the group.
These six lizardmen couldnt help but feel a bit of satisfaction that they could finally join their brethren by dying a heroic death to defend one of their own. There was no reason to fear their impending doom as they have done all they could.
Yeah, we just need to buy some time and wearghhhh! a lizardman was interrupted by the swiping arms of a panguana.
Having finally had enough, the panguanas knocked the five guards out of the way, knocking them away like ragdolls.
FuckI guess this is it, Caszcur said as he slowly took out the two remaining bombs with his left arm, glaring at the panguana that was dangling his arm in its mouth. You skinkI will die but I will take one of down with me.
As if it was done toying with its food, the panguana spit out the maimed forearm in front of Caszcur
Caszcur looked at his once trust limb for a second, before directing his anger at the one responsible for it, He, not even good enough for you to eat, huh? Ill make you regret throwing away your last meal!
Jumping on his feet, Caszcur pulled out the bombs and held the stick with his mouth, ready to pull them out any second now.
Roaring, Kraaaaaaaaaaaah!, Caszcur ran towards the panguana with reckless abandon, confident that his self-sacrifice will be enough to save everybody, including his guard friends.
Kriiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Fully immersed by his own anger and revenge, Casczur wasnt aware of anything else besides the monster that stood in front of him. Pulling the sticks out of the bombs, Caszcur was fully ready to die today.
Ill leave the rest to you, little Lady.
Die with me! Caszcur challenged the monster.
Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiieheheh! the panguana responded.
Kriiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
As if the force of the two voices combined, the surroundings began to tremble at the sound of their roars.
Aiming to dodge the panguanas attack, Caszcur readied his body to duck but little did he know that it was an unnecessary maneuver.
With a force of a landing boulder, something dropped from the sky and smashed the panguana into the ground, sending mud into the air from the sheer impact.
Wha-! blown away from the wind pressure, Caszcur couldnt say anything else but that.
As he recovered, his eyes widened when he learned what stopped his suicide attempt, or, who just caused it.
The person that crashed onto the panguana was covered in red scales and had a head that resembled a lizardman greatly. Her tail was wrapped around the neck of another panguana, while her left hand held onto a second with her long, sharp claws.
Her right hand was tightly holding onto the panguana he was challenged with a fiery grip until she decided to rip its head out with sheer force.
The red-scaled girl ferocity and appearance were all very similar to a lizardman but her large, imposing wings were an unusual sight and made that idea hard to believe, as lizardmen don't have wings. What was more eye-catching was the blue dress that conflicted greatly with her vibrant crimson red scales.
Little Lady?
Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
***********************************************
Experience has reached a breaking point. [Young Spark Inferno Dragon, Hestia Atsuko] has risen from [Level 27] to [Level 29]
Attributes have increased due to level up
Acquired 1200 skill points
Have no fear! For I am here! I wanted to shout out but kept it to myself after my parallel minds warned me about how cringy it would sound.
Crashing down on the monster that was about to kill Caszcur, with Tasianna, Rajah, and two of my panguana opponents; it looked like a perfect moment to look like a superhero but that was very embarrassing.
So, instead of doing that, I immediately locked my attention at the last remaining panguana and activated [Bedrock Blades] to erupt massive sharp rocks from the ground. Caught out surprised by my sudden appearance, the panguana wasnt able to notice its doom that was coming from the ground, instantly dying from having its entire body pierced by sharp rocks.
No level up? Shame.
Little Lady? Is that youno, wait, run! I heard somebody shouting.
Looking down, I was able to see Caszcur lying on the ground while holding onto two of my firebombs withone arm? No, I dont think Im imagining anything here; Caszcur was missing an arm and he was clutching onto the two last remaining bombs with dear life.
Realizing something was up, I jumped down and dash to his side, after releasing the two corpses of panguana that I was still holding on to, [Tasianna freeze his wound, now.]
After hearing her say, You will, Lady Hestia., I pulled Caszcurs arm away from his body. He was angrily shouting at me to run away and that I was risking my life to help him, saying that it was too late to help him.
Thinking that he was an even more of a drama queen than I was, I yanked the bombs away from him and then began sucking in the gas from the two bombs. As my bombs could only activate when the gas reaches a certain concentration, you only needed to remove the toxic gas and it'll become unusable as no more of my mana could activate it anymore.
You know, the original concept of my bombs only being able to activate with my mana was a pretty flexible rule. I mean, this toxic gas was made with [Toxin Secretion] using my mana, after all, hie hie.
Wha? Caszcur looked confused at what I just did.
["Can't recognize me or is it something else, Caszcur? These are my bombs, of course, I know how to diffuse them,"] I said confidently.
Turning my head around, I was able to confirm that the other lizardmen guards were also alive, albeit they probably broke a bone or so. I was also able to see that our rescue team was able to successfully rescue the lost lizardmen group, as I could see a large group of ragged looking ones mumbling to themselves.
I walked over to the spot where Cazscur's arm was and told Tasianna to freeze the stump. I don't know if I can re-attach Caszcur's arm but this was a good time to test the limits of my magic. If I can regenerate lost flesh, then I should be able to reattach it.
[Well, there were some complications, but it seems this was a successful rescue attempt,] I said while kneeling beside Caszcur to heal all his wounds besides his right arm.
"He he, you truly are a girl of a lot of secrets, little Lady. First, you can't speak and now you look like any other lizardkinwell besides your wings. Still, you came at the right time and saved my life. My debt to you is increasing by the second," Cascur said with a merry laugh.
[I would have come earlier but there were some problems,] I said with a wry smile.
As I was taking care of Caszcur, Tasianna went around to tell the lizardmen guards to group up to me so I can heal them, she also was responsible to talk with the lost lizardmen group, soothing and informing them about the situation.
While she was doing that, I retold Casczur about our little accident. You see, when I was about to launch myself into the air, Rajah smacked my head from behind, making me flinch from that startling action. I was about to scold him for that but that when I noticed that the panguanas were planning to throw something at me, and Rajah was simply warning me about it.
Annoyed at their persistence, I killed them as fast as I could and just [Air Walk] and [Wind Blast] my way to the others.
I was pretty surprised that Rajah was able to figure out the panguanas plan before my [Prediction] activated but I guess he was keeping an eye on my back.
Huh?
Hmm? Is everything alright, lass? Caszcur asked me.
["Huh? Oh no, it's justI dunno, I kinda have a feeling that we're being watched,"] I admitted. [Maybe Im being too cautious but who knows.]
Well, if you say think thats the case then I guess we should move away. Tasianna seems to have calmed them down so Ill get them to move as soon as possible. We need to get to a safer place anyways, Caszcur stood up once I was done with him.
[I know the ice is uncomfortable but hold onto it until I can figure out a way to save your arm, ok?] I said.
Youre gonna save my arm? Ha ha, I dont know how youre gonna do something like that, but Im already prepared to be indebted to you again,
Standing up, suddenly the ground beneath me shook wildly, destabilizing my balance. That was when my skills finally activated and told me to jump away and as far as possible, ASAP! Before I could cast [Wind Blast] to blast me away, Rajah bit my arm, surprising me.
That was when my surprise turned into bewilderment as four long, dark snakes started to erupt out of Rajahs feet and launched themselves as a nearby trees branch, pulling Rajah and me towards it.
Wha-? Is that [Shadow Snake]?
I was reminded of the spells name as I had to deal against it when Tasianna and Saori nearly beat me using that spell.
Before I could ask any questions, the ground that I stood on burst open to reveal an actual giant white snake. From the size of its mouth, If I stood any longer in that area, then I would have been turned into that snakes snack.
Identify!
Vellestra Leviathan
A giant monster with a giant predators head as a body and multiple snake heads that are used to move the massive monster through the water.
