Chapter 83: The Blue Anacondas' Boss' Domain (3)

Returning to the initial formation, Hunter's team waited for the boss to attack them again...

...while unaware that its snake's long and vast body was imprisoning them in its embrace, slithering around to block all possible means to escape its domain and senses.

For that reason, the blue anaconda's head always hangs high.

As the boss's abundant mass was used to keep its prey locked, the jaw's drop and poison spit were two main attacks it used to deal with its enemies.

Spitting Ice Breath at the falling wave of toxins, Hunter could infer this much in just a minute, enduring all poison flooding his body system.

Soon, the boss followed its second pattern, once again plummeting with its head pioneering the way, only to be stopped by Hunter's defensive pose.

Which the boss wanted to gobble up in one go, opening its jaw wide.

At that moment, Hunter unfurled the carpet of cold breath, freezing the monster's mouth.

Riding on that tapestry was Aimee, whose body was getting used to Hunter's coldness. It was not without a price, yet she believed that time was against them and that the monster had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Her judgment was right... but the execution was severely lacking.

"Twenty-five percent is not enough?!" Aimee shouted as her Soul Slash hadn't even taken off the snake's canines, only drawing cracks on its blade.

Yet, she had used this much of her precious lifespan and power, which was heightened after stealing some of the spirits' livers. She was much stronger, but even that wasn't enough to crush one of the monster's weapons?!

Following her wake, Seraphina also threw her fire breath attack, leveraging the coldness brimming within the boss' mouth.

As far as her knowledge went, she understood that a combination of cold and warmth could lead to serious damage...

But not in this case.

Her skill left less damage than Aimee's, scorning her.

'I never dared to hunt D-Rank Monster, but is the gap this big?! It's disgusting!' Seraphina commented inwardly, for speaking in this hideous mouth was already impossible.

Worse, it was the monster's turn.

The poison flooded off the depths of its body system, washing over intruders invading its mouth. At the same time, the long head extended forward before arcing upward, further throwing them deeper into its lake of poison.

Losing their equilibrium, Hunter and his team tipped toward the bottomless depths, entirely drowning in the acid.

As the jaw shut closed, their lives were now over.

They could only flow down to the monster's stomach and wait to be digested.

Such was the reality of The Hunter World.

...for there were monsters that required special skills or preparation to hunt them... and a mere antidote mass produced by the villagers was not enough.

-

While death was just around the corner, Hunter's head cooled off, his focus increasing.

In that precious moment, he recalled how he was submerged in much more dangerous poison that had stripped him of his movement skill, biting on his flesh from the inside.

Without thinking about his next move, Hunter's blood unconsciously turned into thin and fast tendrils, shooting off his body to pierce through the snake's insides.

Which cost Hunter a lot of strength and energy as the insides weren't as easy as he had imagined. Still, he didn't have to worry about anything else, so he instinctively strained his origins to achieve the desired result.

Having that red net stalling the impending doom, Hunter stretched his arms, catching Aimee and Seraphina, fastening them to his black armor.

Drowned in this poison, they kept their eyes barely open while looking ahead and trying to find a way outside.

In his nest, both found a moment of respite and relief.

The same went for Hunter.

As long as they were alive, they could find a way!

When Hunter was encouraging himself with his bottomless optimism, his eyes momentarily flashed with the sign of his inheritance. His mind, which was so focused on survival, quickly caught on that the black leather armor with a cape encased in the Dullahan's Soul Armor had been activated.

Its main skill was Soul Connection.

[I need you, Brandi.]

[As you wish, Master.]

Whistling with inconspicuous passion, the purple clouds surged off Hunter's armor from the inside, easily finding the way outside to morph into a small, adorable sheep on his shoulder.

This little creature's purple eyes soon gleamed with consciousness, allowing Brandi to see what was happening in the outside world.

Her master was immersed in poison, and two women were clinging to him, their skin already dotted with blue scars of the monster's toxins. If nothing was done to help them, they would die in a matter of hours... only because they were her master's women.

Otherwise, anyone else probably would have died in an hour or less.

Still... someone dared to poison her master while she was loyal to him?

"Insolent creature of a lower world! Virulent Zone!" Brandi screamed off the depths of her throat, her voice like a poison to the clueless snake boss.

Her little sheep form exploded with purple poison, forming a domain around her master's net. Some of her purple clouds turned so dense that Hunter could safely drop on them with his teammates lying on him.

Inside Brandi's prominent zone, they also could breathe in her poison to replace their need for oxygen.

Which had given Aimee and Seraphina a glimpse of Brandi's furious self. Her little form was bobbing on Hunter's shoulder, jumping purely from anger and indignation.

Her purple little eyes, which were so cute before, were now blazed with hatred toward the monster, turning her into a demonic little sheep.

She was quite scary, to be honest.

"I've devoured and replaced the blue poison in your and your women's body, Master! I'll soon expel my poison off your body so you can break the spine of this cheap monster!" Brandi turned her eyes toward her master, instantly reverting to adorable little sheep that was so cute, with her eyes gleaming with reverence and affection toward Hunter.

Hunter laughed, "Do snakes even have spines?"

"If not, then squeeze them to death!" Brandi added with more stars in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Aimee understood how significant the spirits within Hunter's world were. If this one could so easily deal with the poison that threatened their lives, then what about the second, whom Hunter deemed a sexy beast wanting to devour all flesh but not his dong?

Anyway... why didn't he call her earlier? He said he couldn't but suddenly did...

'He must have advanced again... it's so scary,' Aimee felt a moment of doubt, only to shake it off and grow more confident.

She was the first one to stand up on the purple cloud, "You have my thanks, little sheep."

"Little sheep?" Brandi's eyes turned blank for a second before she turned toward her master, "Can she call me this way?"

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend and future Death Queen!" Hunter grinned beneath his visor. "But well, she doesn't know your name yet! Everyone, this is Brandi, my maid. Here, Brandi, is my beautiful girlfriend, Aimee! And here is my future wife, Seraphina!"

Brandi took in the sight of these two women and nodded, "The pleasure is all mine... but Death Queen sounds like a title next to yours, Master. I only swear obedience to you, no one else. With respect toward your life choices, I'll acknowledge these two, but my priority will always be you and your well-being as you rise to the top of all worlds!"

"That's fine," Hunter nodded.

He wasn't used to being a master at all, but only that was the possible development since Brandi's mistake. It was weird to hear her call him like that in front of his teammates. One was his girlfriend, and another was his friend... yet it didn't seem that odd to them.

There was also something stirring him from inside as he heard Brandi calling him Master, though...

It sent tingles down him and even boosted his strength as the satisfaction produced by his heart flooded his origins and body system.

A dormant part of Hunter was slowly awakening this way.

"Brandi... I can feel the time limit of this Soul Connection skill. We have about three minutes left. Not enough to poison this vast monster, so it's better to make a hole inside its body and escape this way. We're inside the monster, but it's still too tough for us to leave on our own... unless we climb back to the top and try to open its jaw..." Hunter assessed his team's new predicament, waiting for Brandi's reply.

Which came as fast as possible, "I can dwindle its toughness from the inside. But if time is chasing us, I need assistance. Anyone here can use the soul concept?"

"I can," Aimee stepped in with her chin high, drawing Brandi's attention and approval.

"No matter how thin your attack is, it will still create fissures for my poison to sink in," Brandi replied without showing too much of her approval toward Aimee, still keeping her significance high.

In this way, these two cooperated to draw a clean cut in the boss' vast body, wide enough for them to leave their predicament unscathed, with only a few minor wounds.

At the same time, Brandi disappeared back to her double body and rushed to Nakisha's side to flaunt her experience with the master.

However, Hunter's predicament was far from over.

In fact, things got even worse.

"Yo."

A demon from the Demon World stood before them.
