Chapter 845 Verdant Jungle Showdown: Clash of Titans

Both Jared and Aethion glanced at each other before chuckling.

"Good one."

"Thank you, my supporting systems are not really meant for me to act funny, but I try."

Back in the jungle, Reign cautiously moved through the dense vegetation, his senses on high alert. The corrupted atmosphere weighed heavily on him, and the ominous silence made the air thick with anticipation. The Verdant Jungle of Corruption lived up to its name, with twisted vines and thorns covering every inch of the terrain.

As Reign navigated through the eerie landscape, his eyes caught sight of a massive shadow lurking in the distance. A corrupted creature, with scales oozing dark energy, slithered through the corrupted jungle. The sight sent a chill down Reign's spine, but he quickly steadied himself.

The system's advice echoed in his mind: bonuses for defeating field bosses and other powerful entities. It seemed like the Verdant Jungle was not just a typical dungeon; it was a realm teeming with high-tier monsters and corrupted entities.

As Reign faced his first challenge, the corrupted serpent, he swiftly engaged in combat. His blades sliced through the air, each strike aiming for vulnerable points on the creature's body. The corrupted serpent retaliated with venomous attacks, but Reign's agility and combat prowess proved superior.

After a fierce battle, Reign emerged victorious. The serpent's corrupted core pulsed with dark energy, but the satisfaction of triumph was short-lived, as he quickly found out that the enemy was a peak Tier V monster, not even an elite. Reign knew there were more formidable foes awaiting him in the depths of the jungle, especially the mini bosses and field bosses present.

Meanwhile, Mia found herself in a twisted thicket surrounded by eerie, glowing mushrooms. The corrupted aura was palpable, and ominous shadows danced between the gnarled trees. Her mission was clear: eliminate the source of corruption and confront the powerful entities that lurked within.

The first adversary she encountered was a massive corrupted spider, its legs covered in sharp, venomous spines. Mia's sword moved with precision as she dodged the spider's strikes while using her frost on it. Her agility and quick reflexes proved invaluable, and with a final, well-placed strike, she brought down the arachnid.

As Mia collected the corrupted core, she couldn't help but feel the same as Reign as the monsters here were a bit stronger than outside. The journey through the Verdant Jungle was treacherous, but Mia pressed forward, determined to uncover the mysteries within.

In a different section of the jungle, Wolf faced a corrupted behemoth with massive tusks and a hide that seemed impervious to attacks. His sword clashed against the behemoth's tough exterior, each strike testing his strength and skill. The battle was fierce, and the behemoth's roars echoed through the corrupted jungle.

Despite the formidable opponent, Wolf's determination and combat experience allowed him to exploit the behemoth's weaknesses. With a final, powerful blow, he brought down the corrupted giant. The reward appeared as the system had deemed this monsters as a powerful entity, and Wolf knew that this solo dungeon was pushing him to his limits.

Shadow, in his isolated instance, confronted a corrupted elemental entity that wielded the power of shadows. The dark tendrils lashed out at him, but Shadow's mastery over his own shadows gave him an advantage. The battle between darkness and shadows unfolded, and as the corrupted entity crumbled, Shadow felt a surge of strength as he felt his control over darkness and shadows slowly increase.

The solo dungeon presented unique challenges to each member of the team, and as they faced powerful foes and ventured deeper into the corrupted jungle, they discovered that the Verdant Jungle of Corruption held immense potential and could help them improve their power immensely.

Beast, Greenie, Tank, Aelrinder, and Laura were facing their own problems and sets of challenges inside the massive jungle and were doing as well as everyone else, at least for now.

It quickly became obvious to them that their placement inside the jungle was not random as the monsters in their area were a bit weaker compared to the rest of the jungle.

The dungeon was fair, it wouldn't place them in a dangerous place right away and they all had a chance to at least gain something during their stay.

Still, the f act remained that the dungeon truly was a difficult one as even the weakest monsters were no pushovers. Another thing was the fact that they didn't know exactly where the most powerful monsters were located, and what kinds of dangers awaited them inside the jungle.

It seemed the same as the jungle they had been hunting for a while now, but they still had to make sure there were no new kinds of traps and enemies present in it.

Reign continued his journey through the Verdant Jungle of Corruption, his senses alert and his blades at the ready. The encounters with the corrupted creatures had already pushed him to his limits, but he knew the true challenges lay deeper within the jungle.

As he moved forward, the vegetation became denser, and the corruption more pervasive. The twisted vines seemed to reach out for him, and the ominous silence pressed down on him like a heavy weight. The system's message lingered in his mind, reminding him of the impossible difficulty and the tempting rewards awaiting those who could overcome it.

Reign's eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for any signs of a powerful entity or a field boss. The Verdant Jungle seemed to stretch endlessly, its mysteries hidden behind every twisted tree and ominous thicket. The time distortion within the dungeon played tricks on his perception, making every second feel like an eternity.

Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the jungle. Reign's instincts kicked in, and he crouched low, blending with the shadows. A massive corrupted tiger emerged from the foliage, its eyes glowing with an eerie light. This was no ordinary beast; it was a field boss, and even though Reign was able to learn that it was a Tier V Field Boss, it was still an incredibly powerful opponent for him, and he didn't plan on fighting it yet.

Suddenly, another roar echoed as another monster appeared nearby.

A large snake came in sight, its body larger than the trees around them as it coiled around multiple to stay above the ground and stare at the tiger from above.

Reign gulped as he sensed the aura of both field bosses. Each of them was a peak Tier V field boss, and if he went all out, he could certainly defeat them, but he wouldn't be able to use his transformation for a couple of days.

Without his Nephilim form, he was not confident of being able to defeat either of the two monsters, but his life would also not be in danger. With his mark activated and him using his full power, he was certain that he could fight one of them without losing, but killing them would be hard for sure.

As he continued crouching and staring at the two monsters, the two moved.

The tiger's body became a blur as it lunged at the giant snake that lunged forward as well, its body breaking multiple trees that it was using to hang on.

It was akin to a spring, its massive body reaching a speed higher than the tiger's for a moment.

The tiger quickly stepped to the side as the snake's massive body struck the ground, causing cracks to appear and the ground to sink slightly as its massive jaw that was more than large enough to swallow a person took a big chunk of the ground before spitting it out, only to for its body to start thrashing as the tiger bit the snake from the side and used its claws to lacerate it.

The thrashing of the snake was enough to push the tiger away and even to cause it some damage as the tiger shook its body as some blood trickled down from its mouth.

Still, such damage was nothing to the tiger whose high vitality allowed it to heal immediately before lunging forward again to fight against the snake.

The whole area of the jungle they were in was shaking as trees were broken and uprooted, the ground was starting to look like a bombardment had taken place from all the potholes present and all the cracks on the ground.

The snake was able to spit powerful acid out of its mouth that the tiger didn't dare come in contact with, and even its body was able to ooze out a similar acid that hurt the tiger.

As for the tiger, its power was similar to what Basred had. Basred was able to create sonic waves, while the tiger was able to create shockwaves from any part of its body.

A simple grunt could create a shockwave that would decimate anything in front or around the tiger, and it was able to manipulate the shockwaves, sending them anywhere around it.

It had used the ability a couple of times to block the acid, and for now, the two seemed quite even in power.
