Chapter 79 "Rock" Shadow Demon



Tyler's profanities were few, but each word was aimed to kill and pierce the heart.

Even though he employed some terms that only people of the Earth realm could understand, it did not hinder his relentless assault of mental attacks.

Viviana stood beside him, utterly stunned by what she heard. Although she could not fully comprehend, she was greatly shaken.

The stupid loli in Tyler's mind quivered in fear, finally realizing that he had been merciful to her all along. If Tyler were to truly unleash his verbal onslaught, she might have been reduced to utter despair.

However, after nearly three minutes of continuous tirades, there was still no response from the cave.

(Is the summoner's mind this resilient?)

(Wait... could it be...?)

Tyler thought of a possibility, but it was difficult to execute with Viviana present.

He glanced at Viviana, considered his options, and decided to take a risk. After all, it was better than both of them perishing in this cavern.

"Ah, summoner of these blockheads, Don't you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. A zit on the butt of society! " (Evilkinds language)

Tyler cautiously attempted the language of the evilkinds, and as he had hoped, he succeeded in speaking it without any prior learning, much like when he first arrived in Prison Star.

As Tyler's words fell, the underground cavern began to tremble.

(Success!)

Elated, Tyler glanced at Viviana, who was thinking:

— (This hunter is so peculiar. Why does his speech resemble the language of monsters?)

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm — (But that's impossible. The Elders have said that very few people can speak the language of evilkinds...)

— (So, is he speaking the language of beasts?)

Tyler felt slightly relieved, knowing that as long as he wasn't exposed on the spot, he could find a way to deceive her later.

Meanwhile, in the distance of the cavern, something massive was rapidly approaching them, causing the tremors within.

Viviana led Tyler to an open area to retreat, where she could fully utilize her strengths in battle.

Before long, the colossal creature appeared before them. It hissed, flicking its tongue, its two sets of green-glowing snake eyes independently rotating and fixating on both Viviana and Tyler.

It was a four-eyed stone serpent, its body tremendously thick, with a diameter of a meter and a length exceeding eight meters, perhaps even ten.

(This must be the giant snake that infiltrated the camp in the night...)

Tyler eyed the eerie stone serpent, its information conflicting with his expectations.

If Tyler's guess was correct, this creature still wasn't the summoner. The traits "no skills" and "magic energy replenishing endurance" were too conspicuous.

Most importantly, this creature was not called Rock Shadow Demon.

"Hiss—human, what is your background that you can speak our language?" (Evilkinds language)

The Evil-Eyed Stone Serpent began to speak. Tyler glanced at Viviana using his peripheral vision, and as expected, she couldn't understand. Now, Tyler could freely express himself.

"Hiss—I am your father, hurry up and come out to meet your daddy, and stop summoning these garbage stone golems, hiss—" (Evilkinds language)

Tyler pretended to be speaking "snake language," which would be easier to explain to Viviana later.

"Hmph, trying to infuriate the great Swarerock, hiss—wait until you've grown more hair, then speak!"

(Swarerock?)

The Evil-Eyed Stone Serpent abruptly ceased communication, its entire body surging as it coiled its thick body around Tyler and Viviana.

As Viviana prepared to engage, Tyler hurriedly informed her that this Evil-Eyed Stone Serpent was also a summoned creature, urging her to conserve her magic energy for battle.

"...Do they still have magic energy to continue summoning?"

Viviana was astonished. Four Granite Golems were on the ground earlier, four more in the cavern, and now this Evil-Eyed Stone Serpent...

If there were only one summoner, its magic energy would rival Viviana's.

Though Viviana was skeptical about how this seemingly weak hunter made his judgments, winning the skirmish was more important at the moment.

(If their plan is to deplete my magic energy...I shall oblige.)

"Floating Crimson Sword!"

Viviana swiftly constructed five crimson swords in mid-air. Under her control, the swords formed a spinning circle around the Evil-Eyed Stone Serpent's head, rapidly rotating!

The swords clanged, severing the serpent's head within seconds!

The five crimson swords then merged into one longsword. Viviana leaped into the air, gripping the longsword as she pierced the serpent's body, then slicing along its stone scales all the way to the tail, cleaving the remaining body in two!

But after executing the series of attacks, the longsword in Viviana's hand suddenly fell, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her head in immense pain.

"My Lord!"

Tyler hurriedly rushed over to support Viviana, his expression filled with grave concern.

Viviana appeared to have depleted her magic energy, triggering magic exhaustion. At the very least, she would suffer from intense dizziness for five minutes, rendering her immobile.

At that moment, a shrill voice emanated from the shadows nearby...

"Hee hee hee hee, I've finally drained your magic energy." (Evilkinds language)

Tyler followed the sound, initially unable to locate the speaker. Only when he lowered his gaze did he realize that the "person" speaking was simply too diminutive.

"Hee hee hee hee, hunter, I don't know how you learned our language, but it doesn't matter now. You're both going to die here." (Evilkinds language)

The creature speaking was astonishingly a "long-eared hopping mouse."

To be more precise, it was a long-eared hopping mouse with two tails, sharp and pointed claws, and sinister eyes.

If one did not examine it closely, they might not even notice the differences between this evilkind long-eared jumper and an ordinary one.

However, the "similarity" was only skin-deep.

Rogue Shadow Demon - Swarerock, Male, 51 years old

Rogue Shadow Demon - Lv59

Skill Slots: 3/3

Life Energy: 570/570

Endurance: 248/260

Magic Energy: 5650/9780

━━━━━━━━━

Upon seeing the information regarding this demonic long-eared hopping mouse, all the mysteries seemed to have been solved.

The Gudetown Cavalry had been mistaken; it was not Rock Shadow Demon but rather Rogue Shadow Demon – the summoner hiding in the darkness all along.

In retrospect, it was strange that the Gudetown Cavalry, who had never successfully defeated the creature, knew the demon's race name.

It would be possible that they had been misled by the demon's scheme to mistake it for a Rock Shadow Demon.

However, those past matters were no longer important now.

With Viviana incapacitated, this level 59 Rogue Shadow Golem could easily kill Tyler and her.

"Pl-pl-please don't kill me, I beg you...!!"

As brazen as Tyler had been earlier, he was now equally submissive.

He lay prostrate on the ground, pleading bitterly, only to beg for his life from the Rogue Shadow Golem - Swarerock.
