Chapter 224: 223 Incredibly Weird Monster

“Pffft!”

As the cold light of the sword blended with the red Magic Blade slashed through, a ghastly wound appeared on the enormous body of the half-human half-centipede demon amidst the mountain forest.

“Pffft—Pffft—Pffft—”

Two figures, like streaks of light, ceaselessly darted around the demon, flying back and forth. Each movement they made brought about a slash of red sword light, cutting into the demon’s body and leaving wound after wound.

“Gaaaa—!!!”

The demon emitted a roar of pain or perhaps anger. Its centipede-like gigantic body writhed madly, spewing scorching Dragon Breath from its mouth, covering the surroundings in an attempt to evaporate the two figures that kept slashing at its body.

Unfortunately, the demon’s speed was far too slow compared to the two figures; even though its writhing body shook the mountains and burnt the forest to ashes, turning the surroundings into scorched earth, it still couldn’t touch the two darting figures.

“Boom!”

The scorching Dragon Breath angrily swept through again, burning everything in its path while nearing one of the figures.

“Me again?”

Shane, moving at the speed of a meteor, dodged the storm-like hot breath and was almost speechless.

He now seriously suspected that the demon either held a grudge against men or specifically him since it kept targeting him from the beginning of the fight.

Despite Luoqi inflicting the same amount of damage upon the demon, the number of times the demon attacked Shane far exceeded those it attacked Luoqi, which was utterly ruthless.

“Why me when I haven’t learned any ‘Taunt’ skills?”

Shane was on the verge of yelling, yet he dared not slack off. Having activated “Extreme Transformation” long ago, he moved his body filled with substantial Magic Power, enhancing himself while evading the incoming scorching breath.

Although Shane possessed several Level 10 Resistance Skills, logically he shouldn’t worry about getting hurt; however, as he thought this, Luoqi told him.

“The Dragon’s Breath can break through all defenses like a rampant torrent. Unless protected by Unique Skills and Special Skills, even the strongest defenses will burn up like paper before the Dragon’s Breath!”

Thus, Shane’s Resistance Skills were completely useless against the demon’s Dragon Breath.

To defend against the Dragon Breath, he either had to use Defense series Unique or Special Skills, or he had no choice but to unseal the Holy Sword and rely on its protection to withstand the Dragon Breath’s damage.

Unsealing the Holy Sword, however, would make its Magic Power very noticeable. If there were members of the Demon Clan lurking nearby, they would definitely be detected.

With that in mind, Luoqi suggested solving the problem without unsealing the Holy Sword.

This almost made Shane curse out loud again.

“With all this commotion, it’s basically broadcasting that something’s happening here. If there really were people around, not just the Demon Clan, even a normal human would notice, right?”

Worrying about the Holy Sword’s Magic Power alerting the Demon Clan under such circumstances seemed like a ridiculous misstep.

Shane cursed like this, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He raised the Holy Sword in his hand against the incoming Dragon Breath, imbuing it with the “Magical Sword,” and with a sudden slash.

Instantly, the Dragon Breath, which could break through any defense, got severed by the red Magic Blade, scattering in all directions.

Clearly, even the Dragon Breath couldn’t evaporate the Holy Sword.

That’s how Shane could sever the Dragon Breath with the Holy Sword empowered by the “Magical Sword.”

But…

“Gaaaa—!!!”

The demon continued to roar, failing to harm Shane and Luoqi, yet it didn’t fall.

That’s because its heavily scarred body occasionally shimmered like a mirage, and subsequently, all of its wounds vanished.

“Is this demon unkillable?”

Luoqi leaped into the air, her body enveloped in the radiance of the “Heroic Spirit Guardian,” as she broke through the Dragon Breath’s sealing and darted behind the monster, frowning deeply as she saw its body restored to its original massive form.

“This must be the effect of that ‘Half-Physical’ skill, right?”

Shane then rushed in front of the monster, drawing its fire, while filled with immense doubt.

Logically, even if it were a Demon without a physical form, being struck by the “Magical Sword” should cause it real damage, let alone if it is half-physical.

The “Magical Sword” is not just sharp and powerful; it is the ace of the melee series, capable of destroying almost anything. As long as the level is high enough, it can even cut through barriers or magic, and it can damage demons that are immune to physical attacks.

Adding to that, even though the power of the Holy Sword was somewhat diminished due to sealing, creatures of evil nature shouldn’t be able to ignore the damage inflicted by the Holy Sword.

Could it be because it’s neither entirely Demon nor human, and we simply don’t know what it is?

“Boom!”

In the roar, the monster’s Dragon Breath came at them again, melting the ground that it struck into fiery red magma.

Shane and Luoqi quickly dodged to the left and right, once again avoiding the terrifying Dragon Breath without being affected.

However, the monster’s Dragon Breath was truly fearsome, already causing the mountain to begin evaporating and becoming unstable.

“We can’t keep up like this,” Shane shouted loudly to Luoqi, “Don’t hesitate anymore! Luoqi! Use the Holy Sword!”

“Alright!” Luoqi no longer persisted.

She wasn’t foolish; after battling to this extent, those who should be alarmed might already be aware, and there was no longer any need to hesitate.

Thus…

“Unsealing (Heresu)!”

With the brief unsealing chant spoken, Luoqi’s Holy Sword suddenly trembled in her hand, the Blade Steel on its surface sliding into place, one layer after another, finally forming into a Sealing Ring fitted around the hilt.

Meanwhile, Shane acted too.

He landed in front of the monster, his gaze intensely fixed on it.

“I’ll use you to test my magic!”

With that, Shane raised his hand, gathering Magic Power at his fingertips.

“Grant·Binding.”

Through chanting, Shane bestowed a specific property onto the surroundings.

The target, the ground beneath their feet.

“Rumble…!”

Instantly, the ground began to tremble.

The monster seemed to realize something was amiss and had just started to move when the ground beneath it suddenly split open, causing it to fall into the abyss-like fissure.

Then, as the monster tried to rise, the ground trembled again and incredibly merged back together, trapping the monster tightly in the fissure.

“Grant·Hardening.”

At that moment, Shane granted a new property to the ground, making it flow with a vast amount of Magic Power and become extremely hard.

“Gaaaa——!!!”

The monster struggled desperately but could only bring about an earth-shattering quaking, unable to break free from the fissure’s binding.

Meanwhile, Luoqi had already leaped high, darting over.

In her hands, the brilliance of the Holy Sword shone dazzlingly bright.
