Chapter 280: Chapter 234: Only Flas Can Destroy the Giant Serpent_1
Chapter 224 I Wrote the Wrong Chapter Number Again
Duanmu Huai, in this world, has already taken down quite a few demigods. He then identified a pattern —— the Golden Clan seem to relish rging with animals.
Gerrick aspired to rge with a dragon. Ratain sat atop a horse. Now, this Lacard is a large snake wrapped around a head… that being said, what on earth kind of thing is this?
“Join my tribe of the Snakening, let’s devour gods together!!”
Looking at the monster before him, a snake with a large face wielding a disgusting giant sword, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brow. Truth be told, he never expected the king to be this lisp-talking, snake-person….
“This is the destiny of Lacard.”
At the sa ti, Lani’s voice rang out. Turning his head, Duanmu Huai saw her figure, which had stealthily appeared beside him, looking at Lacard with a touch of sadness.
“The once Lacard was a hero who desired to raise his flag against the Golden Tree and would rather walk the path of deliberate blasphemy than give up his will. However, after devouring the giant snake, his soul gradually rged with its wicked entity. The Lacard of now is long gone —— all that remains is but a wild beast with Lacard’s mories.”
Having said this, Lani turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai.
“Finish him. Just like Ratain, grant him a mourned and worthy death.”
“Alright.”
While talking, Duanmu Huai tightened his grip on the Warhamr. Looking up, he then fixed his gaze on the giant snake.
“Lacard, let confer upon you —— Predetermined Death!”
The mont Duanmu Huai roared, black flas erupted from the Warhamr in his grasp. He lifted the Warhamr high and brought it down firmly onto the giant snake before him. Sensing the fiery power of the Hunting God, the snake shrieked and raised its giant sword. At the sa ti, the lava around the snake surged, propelling itself upward towards the raging black flas.
“BOOM!!!!!!”
The red and black flas collided, the bursting lava was instantaneously shattered by the black flas, transforming into a rain of fire spreading in all directions. Soon after, the spinning, coagulating black flas assud the form of a giant sword, chopping straight onto the snake’s body.
“—————!!”
Under the firm strike of the sword of fire, the snake wailed as it fell onto the ground. And simultaneously, Duanmu Huai activated his jet-pack, leaping into the air and rushed at the snake’s head, Warhamr in hand.
“You, you stay away ah ah ah!!”
Seeing Duanmu Huai charging towards himself, the giant snake let out a terror-stricken shriek. It wouldn’t have been so fearful had this been a normal battle. But Predetermined Death was different; it was the horrifying existence that brutally and fully assassinated everything. Lacard had once joined forces with Lani due to this and the snake, having inherited his mories, naturally knew the horror of these black flas.
The mont it kills you, there’s no chance for you anymore!
It yelled while brandishing its giant sword, the surrounding lava exploded again, shooting up into the sky, engulfing the vast dark figure in the blink of an eye.
“Hahaha…”
Seeing this, the snake broke into laughter, thinking that regardless of what type of creature that guy was, once engulfed by this high-temperature lava, death was inevitable!
“Thud!!”
However, before the serpent could fully enjoy the mont of victory, the lava before it exploded abruptly. Duanmu Huai stord out, swinging the hamr straight at the serpent’s face!
“No, impossible! Why? Why are you unscathed?”
Seeing this, the serpent panicked badly. Unfortunately, it was too late for it to dodge. Left stunned, the snake could do nothing but watch the Thunder Warhamr, engulfed in black flas, trace an arc in the sky before… landing a heavy blow on its face.
“Thud!!”
Compared to the size of the serpent, the Thunder Warhamr in Duanmu Huai’s hand seed as small as a toothpick. Yet, the mont Duanmu Huai’s Warhamr hit the snake’s face, its cheek cracked just like a mirror does upon impact with a stone. Following a shrill scream, in the next mont, the serpent’s cheek burst open, and it collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
“No, don’t co closer! Don’t!!!”
The flas that could slaughter a god, that was too much for the serpent as these flas were as deathly poisonous to it. The hot flas rcilessly pierced the serpent’s body and the snake could feel the cold, intruding power gradually disintegrating its being. The terrified snake cried out, wriggling its body in a futile attempt to flee from it all. However, just as the snake lifted its head, it saw Duanmu Huai leap into the air, hamring down onto its head, again!
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
Along with the snake’s tragic wailing, a black fla shot into the sky, enveloping the snake in its flas.
When the flas finally extinguished, the snake that previously occupied the spot had completely vanished without a trace.
“Compared to Ratain, you’re just too weak.”
Duanmu Huai erged from the flas. Upon glancing at the Great Rune on the back of his hand, he helplessly shook his head. Compared to Ratain, Lacard was indeed insignificant. Perhaps due to his consciousness rging with the snake, it caused Lacard to act more like a wild beast during battle.
But then again, thinking carefully, Gerrick was even weaker than him……well, at least he wasn’t bottom of the pack.
But what’s coming next…
Duanmu Huai lifted his head, looking skyward.
Wouldn’t it be awkward to go back to Volcano Manor and et Tannis now???
Although Duanmu Huai felt sowhat awkward, in actuality, he didn’t have the chance to et Tannis. When Duanmu Huai returned to Volcano Manor, only Audrey and Lorena were present.
Oh by the way, Lorena is the Missionary Priest Duanmu Huai t on the snowfield when he went to carry out the Volcano Manor’s commission. She might be the only one in the world who does aerobics in the snowy land.
“Master, you’re back.”
“Mmm, I already see, but I still wanted to ask, where is everyone?”
“Everyone has left.”
Audrey shook her head, then extended her hand, giving a letter to Duanmu Huai.
“This is a letter Layas requested to deliver to you before she departed.”
“Oh?”
With curiosity, Duanmu Huai opened the letter, and luckily, in it, Layas did not speak of seeking death, but her intention to travel everywhere to search for the aning of her life. Hmm… An acceptable choice for Layas. Traveling and seeing the world isn’t a bad idea, considering its vastness.
“Alright, let us also get going.”
Duanmu Huai packed up the letter and glanced at Audrey.
After all, a more challenging matter was waiting for him.
Afterwards, Duanmu Huai, Audrey, Lorena, and Brother Shrimp together returned to Lani’s Magic Tower.
There, they t an anxious lfy and Bambi.
“What’s going on?”
“I, I don’t know either.”
In response to Duanmu’s inquiry, a pale-faced lfy shook his head emphatically.
“Miss Lani is upstairs, examining Miss Mistelina…”
As everyone was in an anxious state, Ogis ca down, nodded at Duanmu Huai.
“Master, Miss Lani wants you to co up.”
“Alright.”
Guided by Ogis, Duanmu Huai arrived at the top of the Magic Tower, where he imdiately saw Lani sitting on a chair, and on the side, lying unconscious with her entire body charred, was Mistelina.
“What’s the situation?”
As he looked at Mistelina, Duanmu Huai asked. He had no reason to hold back. Lani answered his question with a grave expression.
“She is cursed by Three-Fingers.”
“Cursed?”
“Yes, Three-Fingers chose her as his envoy and sealed the Wildfire within her body.”
“Three-Fingers… The one who wanted to restore the entire Borderland back into one, is he still alive? Never mind, that’s not what matters now… What’s going to happen to Mistelina?”
“She will die, sooner or later.”
Lani made the judgent with a flat, yet ruthless tone.
“The mont she was consud by the Wildfire, her fate was sealed. Like a lit candle, it’s bound to burn out one day. When all the objects restraining the Wildfire are burned to ashes, that’s when the Wildfire will erupt from her body, devouring the entire Borderland.”
“So, in other words, Three-Fingers turned her into a ti bomb that will destroy the entire world.”
When he heard Lani’s explanation, Duanmu Huai’s expression darkened.
“Is there a redy?”
“Valkyrie Marlynia once forged a golden needle to combat foreign threats. In theory, if used correctly, the golden needle could suppress the Wildfire within the body. But the problem is, that needle has long been lost. I don’t know where it went, so I have no way to find it.”
“Are there any other alternatives?”
“Hmm… Indeed, there is one.”
this ti, after a long contemplation, Lani finally gave an answer.
“What is it?”
“Predetermined Death.”
As she spoke, Lani pointed a finger at Duanmu Huai.
“Predetermined Death is the end of all things. In theory, it should also be able to eliminate Wildfire. Of course, this is only theoretical. If you can’t control the power of Predetermined Death, this girl too will be killed by you along with the Wildfire.”
“Hmm… I understand what you an…”
Duanmu Huai knitted his brows. Although Lani’s explanation was not clear, Duanmu Huai understood her aning. He rembered a character he had read about in a novel who was a young girl that possessed a similar power, with the ability to both see and kill everything. This ant not only physical death, but also specifying certain “illnesses”, and even “curses” and “magic”.
If the power of Predetermined Death was similar, then Duanmu Huai could indeed try to eliminate the Wildfire inside Mistelina without harming her.
“So, what should I do?”
Duanmu Huai quickly decided to take up this solution. Even though Lani had warned him that a small mistake could kill Mistelina, for Duanmu Huai, killing her did not seem like that big of a sacrifice. Because, after all, this was the World Fragnt, and as long as this piece of world beca a belonging of Duanmu Huai, he could directly convert Mistelina into a Soul Card, then employ certain ans to retrieve her from the graveyard.
It wasn’t that big of a deal.
“Very simple.”
For so reason, Lani was wearing a cunning smile as she looked at Duanmu Huai.
“You just need to inject it into her body.”
“… How do I inject it?”
“However you want. From above or below, do it however you like.”
“… Huh?”
