“It’s useless!” Sean roared wildly as if virtual-novel.net were an angered wild beast, and virtual-novel.net slammed his hand into the air.
Boom!
A wave of air rolled up wildly, sand and gravel flew around on the ground. Then, the thick smoke that just spewed out was immediately suppressed, and it could not spread into the air.
The smoke ball instantly failed, but Caspian was not slow either. At this point, virtual-novel.net used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows until its extreme. Hence, multiple phantoms were seen rushing in different directions, and no one could tell which was the real Caspian.
“Iron Fists!” Sean yelled. Then, as if virtual-novel.net were a meteor falling to earth, Sean rammed at Caspian and punched him.
Bang!
The floor immediately exploded, and the huge force entered straight into the earth. In an instant, the ground shattered into concentric circles, spreading toward the surroundings. The next second, layers of soil appeared, and the scene was terrifying.
“Megrez!”
“Phecda!”
Caspian hurriedly swept his gaze across the surroundings, and virtual-novel.net saw his afterimages torn into pieces by the tumbling airwaves one after another. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt a strong force aiming at his chest. Then, his body lost balance, and virtual-novel.net staggered and flew out. He hurriedly stabilized himself mid-air and landed back to the ground. Although virtual-novel.net did not fall, virtual-novel.net still felt the blood in his chest surging. He felt so uncomfortable as if his internal organs were displaced.
‘This man’s realm is higher than Kevin’s, but I wonder what virtual-novel.net ate that caused his power to increase greatly suddenly.’ Caspian rubbed his chest, and his eyes glimmered as virtual-novel.net looked at Sean.
Caspian could see that the ground Sean hit exploded into a bottomless pit, and there were cracks around it as if it was a torn wound, and the sight was horrifying.
After casting a glance at Sean, Caspian did not hesitate and immediately ran away. If virtual-novel.net were still to force himself and face Sean head-to-head, it would be digging his own grave!
”Don’t dream of running away! The Heavenly Slash!” Sean roared crazily from behind.
Next, Caspian heard a sharp ear-splitting noise, and virtual-novel.net felt a chill running down his spine.
“The Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows, six-star footwork, Merak!”
Initially, Merak was supposed to be one of Caspian’s hidden trump cards. However, his situation with Sean pressured Caspian to use it.
Swoosh!
His figure flickered about above two meters in the air. Then, an arched blade light flashed past Caspian’s rib. With a ripping sound, Caspian‘s shirt was torn into a big hole. Even so, the blade light’s momentum did not stop as it headed about two meters forward. As it formed a zigzag line, a huge tree was directly chopped into three parts.
Seeing the image, Caspian‘s heart trembled. He knew well that if virtual-novel.net did not decisively avoid the hit, virtual-novel.net would be the one chopped into three parts!
Later, Caspian landed on one foot and took advantage of the momentum to leap over the hillside. Secretly, Caspian kept cursing at Sean. ‘How long is the effect for this man’s precious medicine?!’
Looking at the top of the hillside, Caspian saw Sean caught up with virtual-novel.net and was about to rush over. Hence, Caspian quickly glanced around virtual-novel.net to find an area with dense trees as cover.
But, Caspian was stupefied at a glance. Not far away from him, there was a pool covering about four acres of land, surrounded by grass that could cover a man’s legs.
Just at the edge of the pool, there was a palm-sized plant emitting pale gold light growing. As the wind blew, it swayed gently.
‘Sun-seeker grass!’ Caspian’s heart started to beat wildly.
Previously, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was close to the location of the sun-seeker grass, but virtual-novel.net never thought that it would appear in front of virtual-novel.net like this.
‘I can’t let Sean notice it!’ Caspian immediately decided, and virtual-novel.net ran toward the opposite direction.
However, Sean exploded with more terrifying wrath than before. As virtual-novel.net roared, the longsword in his hand was like a raging wind, and the cold light soon surrounded Caspian’s space.
”The Heavenly Slash..! Killing Mode!”
Bang!
The ground was instantly lifted, and as if there was a monster moving its giant claws, ugly scratch marks appeared on the floor.
Seeing how a lethal trap was enveloping him, Caspian knew virtual-novel.net had nowhere to escape, and virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth. “Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!”
Then, Caspian grabbed with his backhand, and the Blazing Spear appeared in his hand. Then, an aura as fierce as a wild tiger broke out. “The Bloody Chains!”
Soon, a loud crackling sound came, and a huge burst of sparks appeared in mid-air. Caspian’s body was suddenly knocked out, and virtual-novel.net rolled on the ground before leaping to his feet. However, Caspian already appeared somewhat miserable now.
Regardless of his realm or potential in general, Caspian was far weaker than Sean, who took precious medicine. The only advantage Caspian had was the eighth-grade Blazing Spear with him.
Despite the frontal impact having blocked Sean’s murderous attack, Caspian’s body suffered an intense blow too. Even though virtual-novel.net might have been holding the Blazing Spear, both of Caspian’s hands felt numb that virtual-novel.net could not carry the heavy spear. On the other hand, Sean was still unable to kill Caspian even with a direct attack. Hence, his initially sinister expression turned to a surprised one.
Nonetheless, the look of surprise quickly became a violent killing intent.
“You’re only a fifth-stage of the True Martial Realm warrior, but you managed to block my attack! If I don’t kill you today, you’ll cause me a lot of problems in the future!” Sean’s murderous voice soon came, and Caspian felt his barbarous energy.
However, Caspian remained indifferent while virtual-novel.net stared at Sean and said calmly, “I have the same thought too!”
“Give me…” Just as Sean shouted those two words, virtual-novel.net was suddenly dumbfounded. He looked in the direction of the pool with anger, surprise, fear, and doubt on his face.
Caspian was focused on Sean as virtual-novel.net was wary that it was just Sean’s trick, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net took a glance from the corner of his eye. Nevertheless, Caspian was also dumbfounded by what virtual-novel.net noticed. On the edge of the water pool, a pitch-black snake’s head appeared. The snake’s head was as big as a tree stump, and if it opened its mouth wide, it could probably swallow an adult directly.
What made Caspian more surprised was the sun-seeker grass on the middle of its head!
‘Ah! The sun-seeker grass is growing on this snake’s head?!’ Caspian could not help but mutter.
It was evident that the giant serpent lurked in the pool and fell asleep. However, as it only showed a small part of its head, Caspian did not notice it before.
As Caspian and Sean’s baffle caused massive movements, the giant serpent was awakened. Its evil eyes then looked at the two as the snake hissed. Suddenly, the temperature in the surroundings fell to a freezing point.
Caspian was secretly thankful for the giant serpent‘s sudden appearance. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would foolishly have taken the sun-seeker grass, and virtual-novel.net might end up being eaten.
Then, suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard Sean’s somewhat trembling voice, “This… This monster is the Serpent of Hell!”
