Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Leveling Up by Killing Monsters, Two-Winged Black Serpent King



"Fine, I'll give you this one," the three-headed black dragon said coldly, glaring at John. Since he couldn't attack openly, he'd deal with this human from the shadows.

This human had caused him to lose over 7,000 Fruits of Life, leaving him utterly humiliated. There was no way he could let this slide.

Hearing their conversation, John couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

It seemed he was out of immediate danger, for now.

The powerful beings of various races glared at John with anger but reluctantly dispersed.

This time, only the unicorn and the dark elf, Bonnie, had bet on his victory, and both had earned a substantial amount of Fruits of Life.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Sara!" The unicorn approached John, extending her slender hand with a smile.

"Godslayer," John replied politely, taking her hand. It was smooth and delicate.

"Well done, little one. You helped me win a lot of Fruits of Life. Here's your reward." Sara withdrew her hand and handed John a pile of Fruits of Life-over 3,000 in total.

John had only bet ten Fruits of Life the first time, which should have netted him around 2,000 based on the odds, but Sara had given him an extra thousand.

"I still owe you twenty," John said, recalling his promise to repay her double.

Sara waved her hand dismissively, "Consider it a gift from me-no need to pay it back."

"You're quite generous," came a mocking voice from the side. It was Bonnie.

Thanks to John's victory, they had won over 70,000 Fruits of Life.

"Godslayer, what's your relationship with the dark elves?" Bonnie asked, eyeing John with curiosity.

John's expression became cautious. His relationship with the dark elves was anything but friendly.

He didn't answer directly and instead asked, "And you are?"

He knew she was a dark elf, but he had no idea of her exact identity.

"Bonnie, the first queen of the dark elves," she replied without hesitation.

The first queen of the dark elves?

John was puzzled. He had never heard of her before, but it made sense that she might have been imprisoned here for a long time and was unaware of the fate of the Dark Humans.

After some thought, John decided to be honest about the current situation of the dark elves, though he deliberately omitted the part about his conflict with them.

"What? The dark elf race nearly wiped out? And it was the Dark Humans who did it?" Bonnie's fury was palpable. She was well aware of the Dark Humans; before she was imprisoned in the Abyss, they had just begun their invasion alongside the gods. At the time, she had looked down on those Dark Humans.

"Those filthy humans, unforgivable!" she cursed coldly, her eyes blazing with anger.

John continued, "The Dark Humans have now occupied the entire Skyline Continent, and the elves are no match for them at the moment. Lady Tanya entrusted me with the task of finding the Sea of Death, but I ended up in this situation instead. Sigh..."

He sighed heavily, putting on an expression of guilt.

"So, it's Tanya, that little girl, who now leads the dark elves?" Bonnie asked, not doubting his words.

John nodded and then asked, "Elder, is there any way to leave this place?"

Bonnie shook her head. "It's difficult. Unless you can comprehend the dark laws."

Just as the Undead Lord had said, it seemed that this was the only way out.

John pressed on, "Elder, where in this area are the most monsters? I want to hunt Abyss demons to level up."

He had come to terms with his situation and knew that his only option was to increase his strength as quickly as possible to find a way out of here.

The unicorn, Sara, standing nearby, cautioned him, "Little one, leaving here now would be very dangerous."

John had caused many of those people to lose a substantial amount of Fruits of Life, and quite a few wanted him dead. Here, under their watchful eyes, no one dared make a move.

But out in the wild, there would be no rules to protect him.

John, however, responded, "I must increase my strength. I can't just stay here indefinitely."

He was completely cut off from the outside world, and Sini and the others were likely very worried.

Bonnie glanced at John, then handed him a jade stone, saying, "This has my mark on it. If you encounter danger, just crush the stone, and I'll sense it."

"Thank you, elder," John replied gratefully, quickly taking the stone.

Bonnie pointed toward the forest outside and explained, "Out there, it's all Abyss demons. The weakest among them are at the fourth tier, and the deeper you go, the stronger they become. The most powerful are the eighth-tier Abyss demons."

"Eighth-tier? No ninth-tier Abyss demons?" John asked curiously.

To increase his strength, he needed not only experience points but also to complete his class advancement trials.

Advancing to the ninth-tier required him to hunt down ninth-tier beast leaders.

Bonnie replied, "There are some, but they're few in number and usually hide deep within the Abyss, afraid to come out."

John recognized the creature, his expression turning serious. The jade stone Bonnie had given

him appeared in his hand, but after a moment's hesitation, he decided not to use it.

This Two-Winged Black Serpent King had only recently reached the seventh tier-John was

confident he could handle it.

"Boy, don't resist. I'll make it quick for you," the Two-Winged Black Serpent King hissed, circling John with a playful expression, not in any hurry to attack.

John responded with a cold laugh, as the Sword of Divinity and Demons materialized in his

hand.

The serpent's eyes narrowed in confusion. It remembered John as a mage, so why was he drawing a longsword?

"Sigh, what a pity," the serpent muttered, losing interest in talking. It lunged at John, its

massive body moving with surprising agility as it aimed to coil around him.

Buzz!

The sword hummed with energy, and a flash of light streaked through the air.

Sword Immortal skill: Flying Sword Strike!

"Hmm?" A flicker of surprise crossed the serpent's eyes, but it didn't attempt to dodge and

was struck directly by the sword's light.

Slash!

Scales shattered, and black blood oozed out as the serpent let out a cry of pain.

-152010

-47100

Two damage numbers flashed-John had dealt over 150,000 physical damage and more than

40,000 true damage.

"You're not a mage!" the Two-Winged Black Serpent King roared in anger. As it quickly

realized what had happened, its expression turned to one of shock and disbelief. "No, that was true damage... you've mastered the power of laws!"

It instinctively took a step back, momentarily considering escape. The power of laws was a terrifying ability that only ninth-tier beings could grasp.

"No, you're only at the fourth tier, and you haven't comprehended any laws!" The serpent

king calmed down, glaring at John with rage.

It was unthinkable-being intimidated by a mere fourth-tier human was a humiliation

beyond measure.

"Human, you are unforgivable!" It roared once more, launching itself at John with renewed

fury.

With four million health points, the damage it had taken so far was insignificant. It didn't

believe that John could keep up such attacks indefinitely.

But soon, despair began to creep in.

Instead of retreating, John charged forward to meet the serpent's assault, his sword flashing

with countless strikes, enveloping the serpent in a storm of blades.

Unrivaled Sword Dance unleashed.

Black blood sprayed into the air as the Two-Winged Black Serpent King lost another 200,000

health points. "Human, I can afford countless mistakes, but if you make even one, you're dead!" it roared,

enduring John's relentless attacks as it opened its massive jaws, preparing to unleash a skill

attack.

"Is that so?" John responded with a look of disdain, casually swinging his longsword. A bolt

of lightning suddenly crashed down.

Boom!

The thunderous crash of the lightning strike hit the serpent's head, electricity coursing

through its body. But to its shock, the attack caused no damage at all.
