Chapter 40: A Beautiful Rock



At that moment, on the battlefield, the Blue Fanged Snake's jaws opened, revealing its extremely jagged, razor-sharp fangs. A very disturbing hissing sound reverberated throughout as the snake's body tensed and coiled into a lethal position, like a cobra ready to attack.

"It's going to use one of its skills now!" Nox warned in a booming voice. Due to the heat of battle, his voice went unheard. Seeing this, Nox quickly summoned the shield he had obtained from the dimensional rift.

Straining his muscles, he threw the shield, and it ricocheted through the air, slamming into the jaws of the python with vicious force. Upon impact, the python's mouth was redirected, and a stream of green substance spat out from its mouth.

When the green substance touched the ground, it immediately corroded the ground, leaving a deep impression with smoke billowing off.

"Heavens, if we had been even a second late," one of the mages there covered their mouth in shock.

"We would have certainly been done for, but who was that?"

While the others were trying to understand what was going on, Elvin, who had seen the trajectory the shield had come from, looked and indeed saw Eve and Nox standing on the walls.

"It's them," he said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, of course it's Miss Eve. With her here, this stupid bastard will be in for a world of pain!"

Seeing this sight, Nox smiled bitterly. 'It seemed they thought it was her doing.'

"Come, let's go help them!" Eve said as she leaped off the wall. Nox knew that jumping from such a height would leave him with a broken leg, so he quickly found another route that didn't involve jumping from such a high wall.

However, when he finally arrived at the battlefield, he saw the snake was back on its feet again. It had trapped one of the mages with its tail, coiling around him and, with a little force, crushing the mage.

Nox looked away just in time before the mage turned into crushed bones and puked out his bowels.

'Dammit! It killed him.' This was the first time he had seen someone killed in real life, so he was shaken, but Nox knew he had to get rid of this weakness.

"Dying is a daily occurrence you have to get used to… Although we're hurt because Jack was a good husband and comrade, that's just how this world works… And we have to keep pushing on; if not, we might all lose our lives," a man patted Nox on the back before running into battle with a determined expression.

Shing! Shing!

Wielding dual daggers, Eve weaved from side to side, perfectly dodging the tail swipes of the enraged snake as she stabbed with her daggers, but they could hardly penetrate.

"It's strong; Intermidiate Tier beasts aren't this strong," Eve thought as she took a step back. While retreating, she grabbed the dead man and brought him back to where Elvin was firing arrows at a rapid pace.

But none of the arrows were able to pierce the hard skin of the snake.

"How did it come so close to the living area?" Eve asked as a bolt of darkness condensed on her fingertip. As a Necromancer, she was also adept at using dark necrotic magic.

"I don't know, but recently they've been coming closer and closer to the walls… and for some reason, they seem much stronger. Dammit," Elvin cursed after another hit. "And I still don't understand how an Intermediate Tier beast could be this strong. I've killed a couple of them in the past, but they weren't this strong, or is it that I'm getting old?"

"I don't think so. This snake is really stronger than normal," Eve spoke as she aimed her hand at the snake, the dark bolt pulsating on the tip of her fingers. "But since we can't kill it from outside, let's kill it from the inside."

Elvin frowned when he heard her. Something that can't be penetrated, how would you kill it from the inside?

"What's the most fragile part of an animal's body?" Eve asked, as if sensing his doubt.

"The eyes, but it's no use; its eyes are as strong as its body. I have hit it several times, but it seems futile."

"The eyes, yes," Eve stated as she approached the snake, which was moving toward her with its forked tongue revealed. "But there is also the mouth."

Its massive body caused the ground to tremble, as if an earthquake was happening. As it closed in, the beast's body tensed once more as it prepared to use its only offensive skill. It opened its jaws.

Immediately, a dark bolt flew into its mouth, and the beast had a puzzled expression on its face as it forcibly swallowed back the acid it was about to spit.

A cold smile appeared on Eve's face, a smile capable of scaring the living daylights out of anyone.

Then she spoke:

"Ignite!"

Vroooooooom!

A piercing sound assaulted the ears of everyone. Some were forced to cover them. They could see the massive snake vibrating as if it was having a seizure. Then it stopped vibrating; the sound stopped as well.

Nox slowly removed his hands from his ears.

Just like him, the others did the same.

But it was the wrong move.

At that moment, a thunderous explosion rang out, and the body of the terrifying snake exploded into smithereens, raining fragments of flesh and blood everywhere.

A complete silence descended on the battlefield before the warriors erupted into cheers!

"Yay!!!!!!"

"Ahahaha, we did it!"

"No, she did it, you idiot."

Nox sighed. Although he was happy the python had died, he couldn't help but feel regret. "If only it had used its invisible skill once, I could have copied it… well, it's no use crying over spilt mil—"

BANG!

A blue rock suddenly crashed in front of Nox.

'It must be from the beast,' Nox thought, because fragments of the python's body were still falling like a shower of rain.

"Did the snake swallow a rock?"

The oval rock was quite large and had a shiny, polished surface that seemed to shine under the glare of the sun. Nox ran his hands over the stone; he had never seen a stone as shiny as this one in his two lifetimes.

While he was examining the strange stone, a screen appeared in his retina.
