Chapter 203: Swallowed it! Swallowed it!
The summoning crystal shattered.
The moment the Nine-headed Serpent appeared, Bai Wei had already charged forward.
He wanted to save someone.
Not for any other reason, but because the sudden summoning at this moment must have had a problem.
A bright red exclamation mark appeared above Judy’s head, indicating that this might be an attempt to silence her permanently.
We’ve gone through the subplots, how could we let a key character die?
Although in theory he is just a lonely ghost, he has already gained some ability to interfere with reality.
He moved towards the fallen Blooded who was waiting for death, moving surprisingly fast due to his almost weightless body.
Come here!
With a powerful force from his right hand, Judy was pulled a distance away.
She was thrown towards Michelle by Bai Wei. Michelle saw a figure flying towards her and quickly caught Judy, but her hands couldn’t hold the weight, and she immediately dropped to her knees. After the fight, she had little strength left.
The Nine-headed Serpent missed, and its nine heads turned to look. It wasn’t eighteen eyes, but a total of twenty-seven eyes.
Underneath one of the heads of this Nine-headed Serpent, there was actually a bright red eye on its belly.
Michelle’s tone changed as she was targeted by the Nine-headed Serpent. "Mr. Devil, are you a demon?!"
"Instead of wasting time on banter, we better run," Bai Wei said.
Michelle carried Judy and turned around to escape, staggering and looking disheveled.
"Why did you save me…" Judy weakly asked.
“I didn’t want to save you at all!!" The village woman vehemently denied.
The Nine-headed Serpent wouldn’t let its prey escape. Even if each head had only nine points of intelligence, adding up to a total of eighty-one points, it was definitely not stupid.
The serpent thrashed its tail, and a violent gust of wind attacked the two. Michelle heard the sound of the wind but didn’t dare to turn around, only hearing a crisp sound of breaking.
Bang! The ice wall shattered, and not far away, Alena was holding the Ice Blood Sword, panting heavily. She hurriedly circled from the spectator stand, which was indoors and protected by multiple barriers, making it impossible to jump down. She circled around to the entrance and saw a massive Nine-headed Serpent. She immediately raised an ice wall with her hand.
As the defense activated, the three of them were swept up in a gust of wind and thrown towards the exit one after another.
Alena adjusted her posture in mid-air and landed steadily, half-squatting on the ground. After sliding for three meters, she stabilized herself. The other two, one landed gracefully, and the other grabbed the ground with their head.
"Ouch…" Michelle rubbed her bottom.
Alena, not in a good mood, went up and grabbed Michelle’s sleeve, pulling her up while scolding.
"Are you really naive and gullible? Who cares if this dumb woman dies!"
"I’m not! I didn’t! She flew over on her own!" Michelle retorted.
Judy was no longer moving, lying on the ground unconscious due to blood loss and a concussion.
Inside the duel arena, the Nine-headed Serpent rammed against the barrier, its furious roars audible even through the barrier.
"Let’s leave it to the school authorities." Alena’s heart trembled as she glanced at the fully-grown Nine-headed Serpent, towering over ten meters tall. It was already beyond their capabilities to handle.
Then she looked at Judy, casting a suspicious gaze.
"Do you suspect that she summoned the monster?" Michelle also had the same suspicion because Judy didn’t seem very intelligent, and it was not impossible for summoned creatures to turn against their summoner.
"She doesn’t have that ability. Although the Selvicer family is not weak in terms of wealth, she definitely couldn’t afford three summoning crystals with her personal funds," Alena quickly changed her thoughts and let go of the suspicion for now. "But she is definitely involved… It’s not safe here. Let’s go to the medical facility first."
Within the Tulip Academy, there are over ten senior mages and five Holy Domain Mages among the professors. Dealing with a Nine-headed Serpent trapped in a dueling arena should not be difficult.
After all, they are mages. Just maintain a safe distance and cast spells. I don’t believe it can instantly kill me through a wall.
"Hmm? Why did it suddenly go quiet?" Michelle asked, feeling puzzled as she walked a distance. She turned back to look at the dueling arena but couldn’t see any trace of the enormous snake. "Where is the Nine-headed Serpent?"
Alena asked, "Michelle, do you still remember the relevant information about the Nine-headed Serpent?"
"I remember," Michelle recited, "It’s a giant serpent with nine heads, an advanced monster, a fantasy creature. Its fangs are highly venomous, and its scales are as tough as the scales of a bipedal dragon. It has immunity to a certain extent of magic and its weaknesses are temperature and lightning."
"It’s a fantasy creature…"
"Yes, a fantasy creature."
"Do you still remember one of the characteristics of a fantasy creature?"
"Some can fly, some can grow in size, some can shrink, and some can burrow…" Michelle suddenly choked.
They exchanged a glance, witnessing the fear in each other’s eyes, and looked back at the dueling arena, confirming that the enormous snake silhouette had disappeared.
For fantasy creatures, there are no terrain restrictions!
Their reaction was not slow, but they were still one step behind.
The ground shook, losing its stability, and the tremors intensified. A massive snake head burst out from underground. They used their momentum to dodge, avoiding one head, two heads, but there were just too many heads. They continued to emerge one after another.
Alena, Michelle, and Judy were swallowed along with shards of rocks and soil.
Because the snake’s mouth was made of cartilage, it didn’t have the capability to chew. It swallowed everything whole.
Michelle fell into the snake’s mouth, and this experience was simply nightmarish. It wasn’t comparable to certain stories of a father and son going into the belly of a grandson. The nauseating smell and foul stench kept assaulting her senses, and within the creature’s body, digestive fluids and countless red, thread-like tentacles stuck firmly to everything it swallowed.
It was too terrifying. Even a child wouldn’t dare to look.
The young man caressed the girl’s hair. "Don’t be scared. The hero has arrived."
As soon as the words fell, a sense of falling came. She landed on the ground, sliding out from the snake’s mouth.
As she turned around, a huge head dropped to the ground, lifeless.
Standing above this enormous head was a figure.
"Originally, I just came here to handle some business, never expecting to encounter such a coincidence…"
The voice sounded familiar, but unlike the familiarity felt before, this time it was filled with sadistic joy, like a butcher who hasn’t slaughtered a pig in years rediscovering his butcher knife with a suicidal pig in front of him.
Sasha Capesh gripped a long spear constructed of fresh blood in her right hand, still dressed in her official’s suit. Despite her youthful appearance, there was an unsettling aura of death and massacre that enveloped her when she wielded the weapon. A few drops of snake blood stained her skirt and suit, and every droplet of blood from the serpent’s head was gathered and transformed into a whirlpool, converging at her side.
There are only wrongly taken names, no mistaken aliases.
the Blood Noble, Sasha Capesh, bathes in blood during battle, and after the slaughter, the blood of all her enemies will be drained.
This is both a respectful title for a strong warrior and the pinnacle description of her combat style.
She is of blood lineage, yet she has always been stingy with using her own blood. There is so much blood on her enemies, why bother using her own?
"Coincidentally, I’ve been craving a bit lately. With such a big head, it should make a nice snake soup."
Sasha soared into the air and threw the blood spear in her right hand, a simple action that condensed years of refined martial prowess – swift, fierce, and precise!
In an instant, the blood spear pierced into one of the heads of the Nine-headed Serpent, penetrated it, and exploded internally. The raging blood magic invaded the serpent’s body, cracks spreading throughout its form. Every blood vessel became a path for the blood magic, revolting against its owner, eager to break free and burst through flesh and bone, desperately seeking liberation.
As a result, every organ in this head of the Nine-headed Serpent exploded, like thousands of tiny bombs detonating inside its body. Organs and muscles twisted and contorted, and the moment the spear struck, it died in a way that death couldn’t exist any further.
The other heads of the Nine-headed Serpent acted without hesitation, tearing apart this head and its body. They kept the remaining parts, but a large amount of blood overflowed from the serpent’s body, converging into a whirlpool and merging into the blood turbine behind Sasha. Slaying enemies and reserving blood, the more stock she had in her blood pool, the more invincible she became. The unique magic known as the ‘River of Blood’ could only be wielded by her alone in the present world.
"It’s been many years since I had a meat feast," Sasha licked her lips. "Quite interesting. Even a wild beast has the courage of a valiant warrior who regrets nothing."
Alena walked out from the severed serpent head, carrying the unconscious Judy, and quipped, "Auntie, can you be a bit gentler next time?"
"Do you expect me to princess carry you out?" Sasha mockingly taunted, "I’ve always told you to do things on your own. It’s already good enough that I came to save you. Otherwise, you’d have to soak in the snake’s gastric fluid for over ten minutes before being rescued. By then, your little face would have been corroded to the bone."
Alena said, "Even if it’s a princess carry, it still has to be like the last time…"
At this moment, Michelle interrupted, "The Blood Noble."
"Just call me Sister Sasha." Sasha pretended to be nonchalant.
"This Nine-headed Serpent is not an ordinary Nine-headed Serpent, there’s something wrong with its blood." Michelle said cautiously, "It’s best that you don’t absorb it."
Sasha glanced at the blood vortex behind her and questioned in doubt, "How do you know?"
The village girl scratched her head and gave a deceptively silly smile, "Just a hunch."
She bowed and, dragging her heavily injured body, the three of them headed straight to the medical facility.
"Is this enough?" Michelle whispered.
"Her thoughts are meticulous, one reminder is enough."
"Does Mr. Devil know a lot about the Blood Noble?"
"If her thoughts weren’t delicate enough, she definitely wouldn’t have survived until now."
After saying that, Bai Wei fell silent.
This Nine-headed Serpent had clearly undergone artificial modifications, and its blood was also mixed with potent toxins, just like the two previous monsters that had been infected with the Scarlet Curse.
With so many consecutive occurrences of such events, Bai Wei stood on the sidelines, observing everything clearly. He had vaguely grasped the key to the situation, and he was only half a step away from solving the crucial problem.
… Judy Selvicer, let me see the exclamation mark above your head!
