THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Chapter 123 Venomthorn Hydra

Ivan's expression remained unchanged at the sight of the monster charging at him, its other two heads opening their mouths wide like the gate of a black hole, flashing their long fangs and sharp teeth that they wanted to shred him with.

As for the other head that had suffered from the explosion of the fire snake, blood tendrils slowly stretched from the body of the venomthorn Hydra before wrapping the head like a cocoon of tendrils as it began to heal.

"Oh no you don't!" Ivan scoffed before bringing out another card and tossing it at the incoming monster, the card flew at the healing head of the serpent like a throwing knife while Ivan jumped away at the same time.

BANG!

The body of the venomthorn Hydra crashed into the ground where Ivan was standing previously, pieces of solidified blood flew into the air like rock particles upon impact.

At the same time, the card that Ivan had thrown out turned into dazzling light particles before transforming into a three-colored lightning bolt.

The lightning bolt flashes in the air one moment and strikes the healing head of the venomthornHydra the next moment.

BAM!

After getting hit by the three-colored lightning bolt, the blood tendrils wrapped around the third head burst into tiny parts while the head that had yet to heal fully and had barely recovered all of its scales was blasted into pieces.

Unlike the explosion caused by the fire snake, the lightning completely shattered the head of the monster and turned it into a rain of blood and flesh that flew everywhere.

The monster roared again and whipped its tail at Ivan, the latter easily dodged the sharp tail of the monster by jumping backward.

Unwilling to give up, the venomthorn Hydra chased after Ivan, its two heads biting at the air whenever it thought it had Ivan, only for the latter to escape its maw.

Seeing that the human was too fast for it to catch by just chasing, the venomthorn Hydra came to an abrupt stop.

It opened one of its remaining two mouths wide enough to fit in a car.

Black liquid immediately began to gather inside its open mouth and soon filled every space, it turned its head toward the sky before spitting the black liquid into the air.

Ivan glanced at the black liquid that was about to fall to the ground like rain after they were spat into the air, he didn't know which head possessed which ability; he didn't want to find out either.

Taking out a card, it shattered in Ivan's hand before rising into the air, and a burst of three colored lights covered Ivan before turning into a transparent energy barrier.

Since Ivan was alone now, he had no plans of holding back his abilities anymore and was going to use every aspect of his talent that he had discovered.

The barrier appeared just in time for the rain of black liquids to drop from the air.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

Like raindrops, the black liquid made similar sounds as they dropped to the ground, on the surface of the barrier, and on the body of the venomthorn Hydra.

The black liquid simply fell on the scales of the monster before dripping down its body as if the snake was bathing in the rain, they had no effect on its scales.

But it was different for the ground and the barrier that Ivan had put up; cracking sounds reached his ears, and Ivan immediately turned to look at the source of the sounds.

It was his barrier! The black liquid was causing his barrier to lose its radiance, covering it with dark spots before making cracks appear in the barrier.

Ivan quickly released Nexus energy from his body and infused it into the barrier; the dark spots vanished, and the cracks disappeared.

As for the ground, the blood that made the walls and floor of the labyrinth immediately lost their red color after the black liquid dropped on them; they turned gray like ashes before crumbling into smelly dust. Discover more content at empire

The rain of black liquid lasted for five seconds before stopping and Ivan came out of his barrier.

Swoosh!

A large tail immediately appeared in front of him the moment he stepped out from the barrier, but Ivan was ready; his fist was already coated with Nexus energy, and he punched out.

Bang!

Fist and tail collided and both sides were pushed back by the shockwave.

Ivan skidded backward for three meters while the venomthorn Hydra was pushed back for six meters, it was clear who had won the exchange of strength.

Not giving the monster the time to stabilize itself, Ivan took out another card and was about to toss them out when.

Rumble!

The labyrinth was shifting again!

The ground cracked around Ivan and the venomthorn Hydra and blood walls rose from the ground like pillars, separating Ivan and the monster.

Just like before, the space began to spin again as Ivan's location changed once again.

Unlike the last time, Ivan was quick to take a stance and find something to support himself so he doesn't become disoriented like last time.

After a while, the spinning stopped, and everywhere became silent; the labyrinth had stopped shifting, and the venomthornHydra wasn't here.

Ivan found himself on a small hill that was also made from blood, below him was a spacious opening with numerous short pillars scattered around the place.

White monsters with wings walked around the space below the hill and made shrieking sounds.

These monsters had snow-white bodies and bat bodies. They walked with their feet and large joints of their wings were pressed in the ground for support.

Their heads were long lumps of white bone; they had no facial features except for the cracks on their faces that acted as mouths, which they used to produce sounds.

They numbered over two hundred and moved about like worms; the sight of them would cause people to feel their skins crawl.

Looking further ahead, Ivan saw the exit from this place at the very end of the opening; he would need to pass through these creatures if he wanted to leave.

Another passage could be seen on the blood wall, but it was over fifty meters high; Ivan would need to know how to fly if he wanted to use that one.

One of the creatures soon noticed Ivan on top of the small hill, it pointed one of its wings in his direction before shrieking loudly to attract the attention of the others.

All of the monsters looked at the shrieking monster before turning their faceless heads in his direction.

Ivan wondered if they could see him when they had no eyes, how did the first one even find him?

"Doesn't matter anyway," Ivan aired softly, and a card appeared in his hand before floating into the air and turning into a small flickering black flame that fell to the bottom of the hill.

"Hellfire, detonate!"
