The Moon Thief

Chapter 144: Intense Fight With The Hellfire Nightmare Snake!

After Heinald had a plan in mind, he waited for the opportune moment to attack it.

His purpose was to make a surprise attack on this snake.

After watching him slowly wander around for hours, he attacked as it was intending to enter its hollow.

He rushed towards it and came within attack range when half of the giant snake's body gone into the hollow.

Heinald started casting his spell Black Fire Meteorite as fast as he could. This spell of his was cast much longer than the others since he hadn't gained enough experience on him yet and it was a Dark Magic.

Naturally, the Hellfire Nightmare Snake sensed the energy surges that had arisen and went into alarm mode. It tried to curl its huge body, but failed to do so very quickly in the narrow hollow.

A wide black circle appeared on the hill where the hollow was located. This circle was pitch black and not even light could illuminate it. A meteor covered with black fire came out of this black circle and fell right over the cavity.

*BAM!" The resulting loud flashing sound and violent shaking turned the entire area into an apocalyptic zone within seconds.

"Hiss!" The giant snake hissed angrily. Part of the hill was destroyed by the devastating power of the Black Fire Meteorite, so the hill began to collapse onto the hollow.

The giant snake suddenly found itself under the weight of thousands of tons.

Heinald had chosen to use the Black Fire Meteorite spell in the first place for two reasons.

First reason: This spell would cause the hill, and therefore the hollow, to collapse, and the snake would be crushed.

Second reason: In a near fight with the Snake, it was not possible to cast this spell because of the long cast time, so it was logical to use it as a surprise attack.

He was pleased when he saw that his plan had succeeded. After all, this move might not kill the giant snake, but it would cause him to be injured for the rest of the fight and naturally unstable as it was a sudden attack.

"Hiss!" With a sudden body lunge, the Hellfire Nightmare Snake managed to emerge from the hollow and hissed menacingly.

His terrifying eyes were fixed on Heinald. The gigantic snake spun around with agile movement, creating a wave of fire that spread in all directions.

With one thought, Heinald activated the Blood Nightmare Shield. His body was surrounded by a pale red barrier. At the same time, he had started casting his magic called Frost Wave.

The freezing air wave exploded around his body and collided with the powerful fire wave that was heading towards him.

The powerful wave of fire immediately destroyed the freezing airwave and continued to move towards it. When the strong wave of fire hit the barrier, dozens of cracks appeared on the barrier.

"Although I tried to reduce the burning of the fire with Frost Wave, I did not have much success. This wave of fire instantly consumed 15% of the Blood Nightmare Shield's energy. Besides, the distance between us is not close. A Magical Beast with the power of a peak-phase Level 2 Ainsar It's really not a joke!"

Heinald had a dark expression as he inferred about the situation he was in.

The gigantic snake was distraught when it saw that its move was useless and that its enemy was still alive. An unbelievably strong heat began to emanate from its scales, instantly transforming into a red-hot iron-like appearance.

"There! It'll make the move I saw before!" Heinald's eyes narrowed and he immediately began casting one of his newly learned spells.

"Whirling Air Wave!" An airball flew out of Heinald's hand and exploded directly at the base of Hellfire Nightmare Snake. He had set the time to let this airball explode. He had observed before how deadly this beast's attack was.

He could never let those scales get to him!

When the Airball detonated, Hellfire Nightmare Snake was also preparing to hurl its red-hot iron-like scales at him. However, it never succeeded; because when the airball exploded, there was a very strong current of wind and pressure towards the center and the flakes were pulled into the center of the explosion.

At the same time, Hellfire Nightmare Snake had also lost its balance and fell over. The severe pressure he was subjected to had injured its internal organs, but these injuries were not serious.

The chaotic pressure change in the region caused activity in the clouds above the valley and caused several lightning strikes around the region. The resulting winds carried the terrifying heat emanating from the scales of the giant snake to the surrounding area, making the already stifling valley even more suffocating.

The enraged Hellfire Nightmare Snake started tossing its head wildly left and right.

The huge snake started to move rapidly towards Heinald.

Heinald's ring emitted a silver light and turned into twin swords. He gathered all his strength at his feet and dashed towards the snake that was coming towards him. He turned half of the Magic Energy he had into Dark Energy as he flew towards the snake extremely fast in the air and sent all the Dark Energy he had into the two swords in his hand.

The twin blades were engulfed by a massive amount of black flame, and their surfaces became invisible.

As Heinald approached the giant snake, it started to move and opened its mouth to grab it in midair.

"Wind of Aira!" Heinald cast a low rank spell, one of the first spells he learned. Since this spell was a low rank spell, he was able to cast this spell with almost no time required. Heinald gained momentum, sending a stream of air out of his hand behind him, and dodges the massive snake's attack, flying towards his body like an arrow.

"Hua!" He cried out and made a double slash with the twin swords in his hand. The swords, fortified with black fire, broke through the immense snake's highly durable defenses and sliced directly into its flesh, destroying its scales.

"Hyishaa!" Two long sword cuts appeared on Hellfire Nightmare Snake's body, and a large amount of blood gushed from these cuts.

All this had happened within seconds, he had cut its huge body in mid-air and had passed its body and landed on his feet tens of meters away. Due to the acceleration he had when he fell on his feet, he was dragged about twenty meters onto his feet.

*BAM* Hellfire Nightmare Snake's massive body collapsed from the blow, and when it fell to the ground, the entire area shook, resulting in a huge rumble.

While Heinald was observing the giant snake and contemplating a new attack plan, the giant snake's body was suddenly engulfed in scorching flames and a fire barrier appeared around his body.

He had never seen this skill of the snake before.

"Akreem's Eye Stone!" Heinald immediately began casting the only support spell he knew.

When he finished casting the spell, in front of him, a stone from the ground surfaced. A kind of energy field was formed that was effective five hundred meters in diameter. The effect of the fire element used by all life forms within this energy field would be 30% less effective for 20 seconds.

While Heinald cast this spell, the giant snake had not been idle either, sending its flame-whip-like tongue toward him.

Heinald parried the flame whip-like tongue with one of his twin swords and cut it off with the other.

When the cut piece of Hellfire Nightmare Snake's tongue fell to the ground, the tongue began to draw particles of elemental energy from the environment instead of extinguishing, and the heat it radiated increased.

"Not good!" With just one thought, Heinald activated the Blood Nightmare Shield and a pale red barrier appeared around it.

*BAM* A violent explosion destroyed an area of about 500 meters. A mushroom cloud of flames rose into the sky.

Heinald was unharmed, but the massive energy waves and an incredibly powerful fire wave from the explosion instantly destroyed 50% of the Blood Nightmare Shield's energy.

Numerous cracks formed all over the barrier surrounding it, and it was thrown hundreds of meters by the force of the explosion.

"How could such a small piece cause such a violent explosion!?" Heinald cried out inside.

If he didn't have the Blood Nightmare Shield, he would have given his life to this surprise counterattack.

Under normal circumstances, Magic Powers of Magical Beasts are weaker than most of Ainsars. However, since this Hellfire Nightmare Snake had the power of a peak-phase Level 2 Ainsar, its Magic Power was superior to Heinald's.

While he was still a Level 1 Ainsar, there wasn't a huge difference between phases. However, for Level 2 Ainsars, the power of the phase difference was too great. Therefore, Heinald was struggling against this snake that had the power of a peak-phase Level 2 Ainsar despite having a lot of trump cards and powerful spells.

He was sure he could kill this snake, but that didn't change the fact that it would be difficult.
