Six-Armed Serpent Demon

Page 47

He grinned maliciously and raised his bronze-scaled fist toward the six-armed serpent demon lying motionless on the ground.

"Now, feel the fury of the blood scales!"

In the blink of an eye, just as the fist was about to fall, the six-armed serpent demon raised its three right arms together, each right hand holding a level four monster-summoning wand.

In the blink of an eye, the wand at the top was activated, and three large infernal serpents appeared out of thin air, rushing straight towards the Thunder Eater.

Before the three giant snakes could even pounce on the Thunder Devourer, they were so frightened by his terrifying aura that they shrank into a ball and landed motionless at his feet.

The Thunder Devourer ignored the Infernal Serpent and instead raised his left hand toward the Six-Armed Serpent Demon.

A ring was encircled on the middle finger of his dragon claw. A flash of magical light appeared on the ring, and a green ray shone on the six-armed serpent demon, enveloping her demonic body in a force field glowing green.

This is the fourth-order divine spell "Dimensional Anchor," used to block interdimensional travel.

The six-armed serpent demon pursed its lips; the "Advanced Teleportation Spell," which could only be used once a day, was still unusable.

The Thunder Eater put away the ring and stretched his thick neck.

She was captured after the "Dimensional Anchor" crippled the six-armed serpent demon's "Advanced Teleportation" spell.

Although the monk profession, now in a state of chaos, can no longer improve its abilities, his agility allows him to leap at a speed of 80 feet every 6 seconds, twice that of hers, not to mention that he can also fly.

The spot on the back of his neck where he was stabbed was still throbbing with pain.

According to his usual habits, he should have been slaying demons and monsters by now.

But the Thunder Eater was now thinking more deeply: Who exactly sent this demon? Why did it have to assassinate him at this crucial juncture? Was there any connection between this and his comeback, and the upcoming three-way talks?

He must get to the bottom of this.

The Thunder Devourer slowly raised one foot and, one stomp at a time, effortlessly crushed all three giant snakes into a bloody pulp.

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

With a mocking tone, he decided to demonstrate his strength as much as possible to completely break down the demon's will to resist, thereby gaining a psychological advantage in the upcoming interrogation.

The six-armed serpent demon glared fiercely at the Thunder Devourer, then suddenly smiled.

"Yes, I have."

Before the Thunder Eater could understand, his arms and back suddenly tightened.

Under the influence of telepathy, the unconscious Auckland Doto leaped up, pounced on the Thunder Eater from behind, hugged him tightly, and pulled him backward.

The Thunder Eater felt a surge of irritation; he wanted to tear Aucklandoto away. However, with his current immense strength, a slight misstep could rip this loyal retainer in two. And Aucklandoto was incredibly capable. So, he remained in Aucklandoto's grip, hesitating for a moment.

Just then, the six-armed serpent demon activated its monster-summoning wand once again.

As the magic stored in the wand was released, two shimmering silver humanoid monsters appeared before the Thunder Eater. As soon as they were summoned, they charged forward, tightly embracing the Thunder Eater and Oakdoto, preventing the Thunder Eater from prying Oakdoto's hands and feet apart, while forcefully pushing the two dragons backward.

The Thunder Eater, with three people hanging on his body, was pushed back two steps and stopped at the edge of the open-air bath.

He remained as composed as ever, sending the two elemental creatures flying with a single punch, and laughed contemptuously: "A death throes..."

He realized that the two humanoid monsters appeared to be some kind of small elemental creature.

Because of the Dawn Titans, the various elements in the world of Abel are exceptionally active.

Therefore, in this world, besides the four basic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, there are all sorts of derivative elemental creatures. For example, the water element can give rise to the cold element of ice, the fire element and the earth element can give rise to the magma element, and there is also the salt element derived from the water and earth elements. The ice element derived from the water element can then be further derived from the wind element to form the wind-ice spirit element, and so on. The types of elemental creatures are endless, and no one can recognize them all.

However, the two elements summoned by the six-armed serpent demon seemed somewhat unstable, and in just a short while, their silvery appearance began to slowly darken.

"Hey."

The six-armed snake demon called to him from the other side.

Hearing the sound, the Thunder Eater turned his head and saw her coughing up blood and smiling at him: "Do you know what a sodium-water reaction is, you bumpkin?"

The Thunder Eater frowned, its thick, prominent brow ridges covered in scales, for no apparent reason.

He watched as she gritted her teeth and activated the second and third summon monster spells.

This time, the five newly summoned, shimmering silver elemental creatures of the same kind crashed into the Thunder Eater once again, and with a splash of water, they carried him and Auckland Doto into the steaming open-air bath.

The next second, a massive explosion erupted in the open-air bath.

At this very moment, on the eighth floor of the Lower City, in the rooftop lounge of the Beate Luxury Hotel.

Badblood Gululos's shoulders, arms, and legs had all been treated with healing potions. Now he was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the room in a panic, occasionally rushing to the window to look up at the bronze dragon temple built on the edge of the cliff seven stories below the city, and then occasionally looking down and reaching out to pluck the scales off his head.

After he confessed everything he could, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, the six-armed serpent demon let him go.

When Gurulos caught his breath and saw what the culprit was that had caused him to be in this state, he was so frightened that his scales seemed to fall off, and he immediately collapsed onto the bed.

—Ivy Beatrice is actually a six-armed snake demon!

—The real culprit behind the "Dragon Horn Tavern Massacre"!

He only now realizes what kind of trouble he's gotten himself into.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. You can still work peacefully as your hotel manager."

Before the six-armed serpent demon crawled out of the window, it hooked his scaly chin with one finger and smiled at him without a hint of amusement in its eyes.

"Of course, if you want to betray me, go ahead."

Gurulos jolted awake, and despite the pain of his broken bones not being fully healed, he scrambled out of bed.

“Absolutely not. I love you, I am loyal to you, my life is yours,” he said with utmost urgency and fluency. “Your commands are my will, great master.”

Gurulos was completely out of his mind. If he were not a dragon but an ordinary human, he would be sweating profusely by now.

"Wise choice."

Her emerald green eyes narrowed into slits, and she covered her mouth with her other hand.

"Everyone in the casino saw it. Tonight, you carried me into this room like a trophy, and I spent the whole night with you."

"So you see, with your wicked blood, if I confessed to the Paladin City Guard that you are my man and accomplice... do you think they would believe me?"

Gurulos widened his yellow eyes nervously, but when he met the seemingly innocent emerald green vertical pupils, he immediately deflated.

She patted his ugly dragon face.

“Don’t worry,” she said. “Once that dragon priest and his master are dead, you won’t have to let them take the lion’s share of the money anymore.”

Since the six-armed serpent demon disappeared, Gurulos has been distraught ever since.

One moment he hoped that the arrogant demon would be killed by Auckland Doto and the Thunder Eater behind him, so that the evidence of his meeting with her would be destroyed and all would be over; the next moment he hoped that the Six-Armed Serpent Demon could kill Auckland Doto and the Thunder Eater, so that he could take another step forward and become the true owner of this hotel.

The only thing Gululos hadn't considered was whether he should report the six-armed serpent demon's whereabouts to the city guard.

Just as Gurulos was in a state of utter confusion and looked at the temple of Auckland Doto and his people again, his yellow vertical pupils suddenly widened, and his mouth gaped open in utter horror.

A mushroom cloud of smoke from a massive explosion;

Rocks the size of small hills flew across the sky and plunged into the sea, creating tsunami-like waves that could reach eight stories below the city.

Stones and plants of all sizes flew everywhere;

And above us, thousands of tons of cliff face rocks are collapsing...

Only then did the sound of the explosion reach his ears.

The loud noise shattered all the glass windows in the room.

For a moment, all that was left in Gurulos's mind was a deafening ringing in his ears; he couldn't hear anything else.

The blast wave knocked him off his feet, and he landed on his backside. He stared blankly out the empty window, his hands and feet icy cold, his mouth agape, almost dislocated.

It took Gurulos a full ten seconds to react.

The bronze dragon temple "Red Forest" on the seventh floor of the lower city of the City of Flame, near the cliff, has been permanently erased.

Chapter 56 The Undercurrents

The cliff on the seventh floor of the lower city.

Alone, the evil-blooded Glucossil, wrapped in a hooded cloak, carrying a long bundle of cloth and a small box, looked around as he approached the edge of the cliff.

Not far from the entrance to the mountain road leading to the bottom city, there is a viewing platform with flat grass and iron railings surrounding the cliff edge. At this moment, the viewing platform is packed with people, all gathered at the edge of the cliff, holding onto the iron railings and gazing into the distance at the traces of the massive explosion.

Gululos sat alone on a bench next to the observation deck.

He held the bundle of cloth, looking around restlessly, then lowered his head in frustration.

Is this for me?

The voice of "Ivy Beatrice" echoed in his heart.

Gurulos shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and his body stiffened.

He looked up and saw another figure, also cloaked, had appeared beside him and sat down on the bench. She was also completely covered by her cloak, with only her blue eyes showing.

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.

He reached out and pushed the long strip of cloth over.

The six-armed serpent demon took the bundle of cloth and loosened it slightly. She reached inside, grasped the hilt of the sword wrapped in the cloth, and gently pulled a small section out of the scabbard, revealing the silver-blue blade of the Holy Demon-Slaying Greatsword.

She sheathed the Spellbreaker Mand with satisfaction.

Where is Gideon?

Gululos lifted the small box from under the chair. He opened the lid a crack and showed it to the six-armed serpent demon.

The box was full of lime powder, and there were two faces facing upwards in the lime powder.

One was "Uncle" Gidelortin, and the other was Gulous's second-in-command. Both faces were filled with fear and astonishment, and they walked away with considerable unease.

Ivy Beatrice had no interest in the dead man's face and didn't even lift her eyelids.

Gululos wisely closed the lid of the box.

He tried to probe: "Master, what about up there...?"

[Auckland Doto is dead, shattered to pieces. As for the Thunder Eater, all the money matters were handled by Auckland Doto; he doesn't know who you are and won't bother you.]

The demon said with some regret.

When she escaped the explosion and discovered that she couldn't absorb the Thunder Eater's soul in her mental vision, she knew that the guy was still alive.

Such an explosion failed to kill the monster.

She couldn't help but recall that punch, and felt as if the organs in her abdominal cavity, which had already repaired themselves, were starting to hurt again.

At the same time, I felt extremely sorry.

—The experience points of the Thunder Devourer are probably as plentiful as the water in the ocean. If I could absorb his soul, my demonic body would probably be fully restored, and I might even be able to advance further.

—But what information can be gleaned from the conversation between Auckland Doto and the Thunder Eater? Would a living Thunder Eater actually be more helpful to her plans?

Gurulos was slightly relieved.

He tried to speak to her through the telepathic connection of the six-armed serpent demon, but found that the connection had automatically disconnected because she was in a daze.

He opened his mouth a few times, and finally stammered, "What... what should I do next, Master?"

no respond.

After waiting for a while, he mustered his courage, stretched out his palm in front of the six-armed serpent demon, and gently shook it.

She snapped out of her thoughts.

You must know what happened at Dragon Horn Tavern, right?

The demon said casually: "Aprilton-Bronk is dead. I killed him, along with the entire core of the Bronk gang."

—Are you going to execute me just because of my rudeness in waving my hand in front of you?!

Upon hearing these words, Gurulos felt a chill run through his body, as if he had turned into a piece of frozen meat.

He wanted to resist, but he had absolutely no courage.

I could only reply with difficulty: "But, I am absolutely loyal to you."

He was trembling all over, and just as he was about to say something more, a dimensional bag fell into his hand.

Gurulos took a couple of quick breaths, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and then carefully opened the dimensional bag. He glanced inside and almost had his heart stop beating; he could barely breathe.

The storage bag contained Aprilton's ledgers and records, documents on numerous properties and real estates, and a large amount of cash.

Master

[First thing. From now on, you will take over the Bronco gang as quickly as possible in Aprilton's name. This is your job; figure out the specifics yourself.]

Gurulos gripped the storage bag tightly with his giant hand, his body trembling uncontrollably.
