Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 279: Moonlit Mayhem - Battle For Survival [Part 2]

"This guy is so tough!" Ace gritted his teeth when he saw his spear fail to pierce through the Giant Black Snake's Scales.

"Stop talking, and start running!" Bridget shouted as she created a stone pillar to provide Ace a foothold in order to escape.

Several arrows imbued with wind and fire magic flew toward the Monster's eyes, but the Giant Snake burrowed headfirst to the ground, preventing the arrows from hitting their targets.

"It's quite intelligent." Sefarina clicked her tongue. "I hate intelligent Monsters."

Archer nodded in agreement. "It knows that we can control the trajectory of our arrows mid-air after our first failed attempt to blind it. Now, it's not giving us any opportunities to land a hit."

Both archers tried to attack the monster's body, but their attacks only bounced off its body, not even leaving a single scratch.

"It's not because your attacks are weak," Emma commented as her gaze followed the Monster that was moving underground. "It's just not powerful enough to break past its defenses."

"Is it stronger than the Ancient Wendigo?" Luna asked.

"No," Emma replied. "But it's tougher than that. I think the path of evolution it took focused on increasing its body's defense rather than offense. Its power is now stabilizing, which means that it has reached its optimal form."

Emma then summoned her flying broom and flew high in the sky.

Luna, Sefarina, and Archer followed her to the sky because they all specialized in range attacks.

Only Ethan, Selene, Bridge, and Ace remained on the ground and waited for the monster to resurface.

'Master, the Monster will be surfacing five meters to your right,' Emma reported through telepathy.

'Got it,' Ethan replied, and the Sea God's Trident in his hand glowed faintly. 'I don't really like using this skill, but I guess I have no choice.'

The young man took a deep breath before tapping into the power of the Tide Bringer's Legacy, allowing the power of the deity's bloodline to manifest inside his body.

When using this Legacy Ability, Ethan's strength was magnified drastically.

The power of a Deity was no joke, giving his body a boost that was similar to three Magna Amplifico combined.

A Wizard or Witch could only cast Magna Amplifico once. Using it again would not have any effect on their bodies.

However, Ethan was different. After gaining the power of a Deity, his strength and spell power increased, making him a truly powerful individual, similar to a transformed Beast Kin, like Lily in her Wolf Form.

It was just a pity that he wouldn't be able to use the full power of his Legacy since he wasn't fighting in the sea, where he could crush almost any foe using the Tide Bringer's might.

With Emma's signal, Ethan pulled back his arm and empowered the Sea God's Trident with the power of Lightning.

As soon as the Black Giant Snake emerged, the young man had already thrown his spear like a Railgun, smashing through the snake's throat, and sending it flying backwards.

The Trident pierced the scales of the snake and was able to bury itself a foot deep into its body.

However, this was still not enough to defeat the Beast, who had become enraged after suffering an injury.

"Die!" The Black Giant Snake screeched and countless Golden Crescent Blades emerged from its body, flying towards Ethan's group.

Bridget slammed her mace on the ground, creating several Earth Walls to protect herself and Ace from the powerful attacks that were covering a large area.

Selene, on the other hand, coated her entire body with Moonlight and jumped between Ethan and the Black Giant Snake.

She then repelled all the Golden Crescent Blades with her punches and kicks, shielding Ethan from the monster's wrath.

Luna, on the other hand, summoned a Moonlight Barrier, protecting Emma, Sefarina, and Archer, who were all in the sky and providing support fire to their allies.

When the attacks receded, Selene didn't hesitate and stomped her right foot forward.

A moment later, she reappeared a few meters away from the Giant Snake and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on its body, making the monster screech in pain.

Although its scales had become tougher and could resist most magical and physical attacks, Selene's blows were not simple.

Her attacks carried a vibration that passed through her enemy's defenses, dealing internal damage directly.

These attacks drained her considerably, but she gave it everything she had, hoping that it would take down the Giant Snake while she still had the strength to fight.

Annoyed by her unrelenting attacks, the Giant Snake decided to also go for an all-out attack, unleashing its most powerful skill at point-blank range.

Selene, who didn't expect such a counterattack tried to distance herself, but it was already too late.

A golden shock wave that extended for hundreds of meters sent the Little Girl crashing to the ground which caused her to cough out a mouthful of blood.

The attack of the Giant Snake had a paralyzing effect, immobilizing her completely.

Knowing that it might not get another chance, the Monster opened its mouth wide and tried to devour the prey that it coveted in Janga Valley.

Once it succeeded, it planned to return to the Desert right away to digest Selene and absorb her powers.

After that, he would go to the North of the Abel Plains and fight against the King Manticore and devour it as well.

It believed that as long as it was able to accomplish that feat, the Ancient Wendigo would no longer be a threat, and it could finally hunt down the pesky Foreigners who invaded their world.

But just before its fangs could sink into Selene's helpless body, a Black Mist appeared out of nowhere and devoured the Little Girl first before flying away.

Which left the Giant Snake to devour the soil where Selene once was, infuriating it.

However, when its gaze landed on the creature who had saved its target, the Giant Snake's body froze. He recognized the monster that he planned to fight last.

The Giant Snake was not the only one that froze after seeing the Creature.

Selene, who was being carried like a Princess by the Ancient Wendigo, couldn't help but scream in fright as she looked at the Monster who was holding her tightly.

There was no Creature that scared her and the Black Giant Snake more than the Monster of Deathseeker Forest.

And now, that same monster had appeared on the battlefield, making the two of them and the rest of Ethan's group, look at it with dread.
