Chapter 91: Chapter 90: The Resurrection of the Six-Armed Serpent Demon
“Master, be careful,”
huddled in Fang Zheng’s embrace, Nymph looked at the Six-Armed Snake Demon with terror.
“After I explored just now, I discovered that the statue is actually an energy storage device for that creature. It doesn’t have a real body yet… and those cultists originally planned to perform a ritual, providing it with enough flesh and blood to allow it to revive. However, I’ve already forcefully interrupted the ritual…”
Indeed, just as Nymph said, Fang Zheng only now realized that the Six-Armed Snake Demon’s expression was very ugly. She was staring intently at the Little Angel in his arms as if she wanted to swallow her whole!
No wonder Bella was so enraged. Back when those damned Hero Squads were throwing their ultimate moves at the Demon King, Bella had already sensed that something was amiss. So, when the Goddess launched her full-screen, map-wide AOE attack, Bella used a Devil’s secret technique to transform herself into this Cursed Statue. This was a form of self-seal, and in such a condition, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect anything wrong with the statue. Only those with evil intentions or who had the power of Hell could sense the power inside it, influenced by Bella to act accordingly.
For Bella, a few hundred years were but a flick of a finger, and she was very patient. And indeed, just as Bella had thought, the Doomsday Church discovered her remains and was eventually led here, beginning their plan to resurrect her. Even the subsequent arrival of Paladins and the like didn’t concern Bella, for under her guidance, the Destruction Mage had quietly transformed the entire altar into an Array. As long as they battled here, no matter who died, their souls and power would nourish her.
In fact, when Nymph quietly approached Bella, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord had already detected her presence, but she didn’t care, for Nymph was too weak that Bella didn’t think the angel posed any threat. She even considered targeting Nymph, considering it a surprise that an Angel would join the battle. And it seemed this Angel was still in her juvenile form, not so powerful?
Ahhh, what to do, tempt her to fall or devour her power? Such a tough choice.
Thus, when Nymph reached out and placed her hand on the statue, Bella didn’t think she posed any threat. But the next moment, she was completely stunned.
This Little Angel indeed didn’t possess a tremendous amount of Holy Power, but Bella could keenly feel that almost the instant Nymph’s hand touched the statue, the Little Angel had invaded her Array and quickly figured out the entire Array’s operational principle!
Subsequently, Bella discovered in horror that the opponent didn’t hesitate at all to directly sever her Array’s connection!
And what was more infuriating was that when the Six-Armed Serpent Lord attempted to counterattack, Nymph, sensing danger, had gathered the remaining power of the severed part and struck Bella with a fierce blow!
It was just like a Magical Girl being pulled out halfway through transformation, and then slapped right across her face!
Even the Six-Armed Serpent Lord couldn’t bear it!
She had thought this frail Little Angel was incompetent, but beneath that exterior hid a little lioness! That swipe nearly killed the Six-Armed Serpent Lord, who now glared viciously at Nymph, looking as if she wanted to rip her apart and devour her. If it hadn’t been for Fang Zheng noticing the danger and protecting Nymph with an invincible shield in time, she would have already killed the angel and stolen her power!
However… what baffled the Six-Armed Serpent Lord the most was that this girl was clearly an Angel, yet she could barely feel any Holy Power on her. The power Nymph used to invade her Array was also nothing the Six-Armed Serpent Lord had ever encountered.
But no matter what, she was doomed!
Feeling the Six-Armed Serpent Lord’s furious gaze, Nymph couldn’t help trembling, but ultimately, she was an Artificial Angel, and immediately stared back without hesitation.
“Master, the enemy’s power is very weak right now. I suggest we take this opportunity to subdue her! Her current power level is only about the same as that big guy you know!”
The big guy? Does she mean Shi Dong?
Hearing Nymph’s words, Fang Zheng quickly focused his attention on the adversary. Indeed, at this moment, although the Six-Armed Snake Demon seemed to have a strong presence, the aura she exuded was indeed on a Rank similar to Shi Dong’s, which made Fang Zheng sigh with relief—damn, I thought I had encountered another Master of Lich. Now it seems where would my luck be so bad!
But now is good, too. As long as I kill the BOSS while she has the DEBUFF on, there won’t be any problems!
“Nymph, go destroy the altar!”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Zheng also quickly surveyed the situation around him. The number of little demons in the air was diminishing, but he couldn’t count on the group of Pegasus Knights to be of any help in the short term. And the mercenaries behind him were in dire straits; if it weren’t for Fina’s healing and shielding at the back, they would have been wiped out by now.
Reinforcements wouldn’t be of any help to him for the time being, and the whereabouts of that old vampire archbishop were unknown. He had said he would provide support at the crucial moment, and now Fang Zheng had no choice but to trust him.
“I’ll hold off this damn snake!”
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, Nymph hurriedly nodded her head, then she glanced at the Six-Armed Serpent Lord and immediately vanished into thin air—this little angel might not be strong in combat, but her mind was certainly sharp. Clearly, she understood that she posed more of a threat when hidden than when following closely behind Fang Zheng.
“You damned wild chicken! I’ll pluck your wings off and show you what real pain feels like……!”
As Nymph disappeared from view, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord shouted in anger. She widened her eyes and spread her arms, attempting to do something. But the next instant, psionic energy rapidly gathered, grasping the Six-Armed Serpent Lord by the throat and forcing her to swallow her words.
However, even the force of the psionic power could only bind the Six-Armed Serpent Lord for a second. Before Fang Zheng could attack again, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord let out a screech, and an invisible ripple exploded around her, breaking free from the psionic restraint. But at that moment, Fang Zheng had already reached the Six-Armed Serpent Lord’s side, and his longsword thrust directly towards her heart.
“Mortal, you have succeeded in enraging me!”
As if I wasn’t here to draw aggro!
Hearing the screech of the Six-Armed Serpent Lord, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, but his longsword didn’t stop for a moment, continuing its thrust forward. However, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord’s reaction was equally swift, and she archly bent backward at an angle impossible for a human to achieve, avoiding Fang Zheng’s strike. Immediately after, Fang Zheng saw several silver flashes moving towards him like blades of a meat grinder.
This was Fang Zheng’s first time fighting a creature like the Six-Armed Serpent Lord, but in Dark Soul, he had already learned to be cautious when facing such abnormal enemies. So, when his first strike missed, he quickly somersaulted backward, once more creating distance between him and the Six-Armed Serpent Lord. As Fang Zheng made his retreat, six trails of blade light swept through the afterimage he left behind, shredding it to pieces.
Watching the scythe-like lights flash past in front of him, Fang Zheng also broke out in a cold sweat. The Six-Armed Serpent Lord had six arms and wielded six scimitars; Fang Zheng wasn’t blind and naturally knew this must be her way of fighting. But what he hadn’t anticipated was her astonishing speed!
He had thought that with six arms, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord would surely expose weaknesses during combat. What Fang Zheng didn’t expect was that these six arms coordinated so adeptly, almost as if six people were simultaneously striking to kill him! Had he been half a step slower just now, he would have died on the spot.
Did this damn Six-Armed Serpent learn to fight with both left and right hands?
But… I’m not one to be trifled with either.
Looking at the Six-Armed Serpent Lord before him, Fang Zheng gripped the Sky-Cleaving Sword in his hand tightly.
It’s still up for grabs who the prey is!
