94 Sacrifice (2)
Chapter 94: Sacrifice (2)
'Its' movement is restricted in this narrow corridor... but I can't waste my energy and time on cutting through its scales,' Seraphina thought as she stared at the blue anaconda's tongue and snout making their way toward them.
Because of their current location, the boss couldn't easily swallow them up, so it was an advantage Seraphina could use to pile up wounds on the boss.
However, she was against it as the boss was a vast and tough monster whose vitality was much higher than any common monster she had faced until now. Worse, her stamina couldn't keep up with this plan.
The only possible way to win against this bastard was to enter its system and threaten him from the inside.
It sounded like a sacrifice since Seraphina didn't even have her sword in which Hunter's blood was resting to allow her to become stronger.
But as she had licked some of that soul concept throughout his blood and experiences, Seraphina could only recklessly bet her life and proceed to fight with the monster barehanded, believing in her skills, talent, and future.
'I must do it!' Seraphina exclaimed inwardly before rushing like a suicidal maniac in the monster's direction.
Which responded to her action with a tongue attack.
Tumbling to the side to avoid the forked tongue's whip, Seraphina quickly rose to her feet and kicked the ground to continue her daring charge. Shortly after, she jumped at the monster's scales, cresting its muzzle up to its mouth.
And then, she jumped past the teeth and landed on the tongue, only to slide down into the dark abyss.
Remembering all the training she had received from Aimee and her close combat fights with aspiring hunters, World Order's people, and the demon's fast movement, Seraphina gleaned all experiences and breathed her soul into her mirror skill, which coalesced on her nails.
As she lunged to the side to grasp the monster's flesh because it was impossible to clutch both walls due to its size, Seraphina roared while praying that she would be able to utilize this skill without Hunter's blood.
But alas, only what she had been able to do before meeting Hunter howled from her fingers. The same attack she used against him during their first meeting left Seraphina's nails.
Which was not enough against the monster.
Further, it hurt Seraphina's heart so much that she roared with disappointment.
"Talented?! What talented?! I am much worse than big sister!" Seraphina recalled her father's words, which he used to often shower her with as he was intrigued by her mirror skill, believing it was the skill that would bring her to the top of the world. "Just as I followed her steps and found precious people, I refuse to disappoint them! I refuse to die here! I want to live!"
As those words filled her heart, Seraphina's soul stirred, connecting with the skills dwelling within her mirror world. From the depths of it, the salamander's soul roared as though alive, joining arms with Seraphina.
But from within her soul, that is.
Meaning that her entire body flared up with flames, with her crimson hair draping her back like a mantle of fire goddess! Her dark eyes rippled with flames, her skin reddened, and even her teeth flared up with raw flames.
This transformation continued, for a lizard tail sprouted from above her ass, and her nails elongated. Red soul scales similar to Hunter's black armor popped on her reddened skin, encasing her in additional defense and power.
Feeling all those changes and urged by the soul of the salamander guiding her, Seraphina followed the wilderness she had been living in for a long time and extended her teeth to devour the snake's insides. Her tail followed her wish, stretching to cave into the monster's flesh, drawing an additional trail of flames as she skidded on the slippery insides.
Clinging to the monster with her kindled body, Seraphina severely hurt the blue anaconda's boss, drawing hisses and cries from it.
Soon, it retaliated with the deadly poison coming from the depths of the abyss. That blue liquid had threatened and killed many lives of humans and was something that Seraphina couldn't easily cope with. novε/lb/1n
Yet, for some reason, she smiled and whispered, "Just as I needed a new skill to steal!"
The blue poison splashed on her body, steaming.
Even though she was now like a fire monster, some of it still managed to slip into Seraphina's wounds and system, leaving her in jeopardy.
However, Seraphina still clung to the monster's flesh, drawing more trails, and was even becoming stronger as she pushed her mirror skill to the limits.
'Enter my mirror world... fill it with poison as I tame it!' Seraphina inwardly celebrated, with adrenaline helping her forget about the dangers coming with it.
Soon, the blue poison became reflected in her mirror world, and she just snatched it for herself, creating infinite reflections of this poison so that she could use it infinitely!
Even better, Seraphina breathed her soul into it.
Without wasting any second, Seraphina utilized her new skill, casting blue liquefied snakes from her mouth, similarly to what Hunter did with his blood.
Spitting those blue snakes, she ordered them to gnaw on the burning trails she had been leaving with her life on the line.
It went without saying that those two patterns were effective against the blue anaconda's boss. It soon wailed and swayed, loudly hissing.
It no longer wanted to go for Mayun.
In fact, the boss failed to think straight.
It just kept thrashing around.
And when Seraphina reached the finish line, she cleft the flesh with her claws and teeth, tearing a hole from the inside. Shortly after, she kicked away the annoying scale and popped outside to look at Aimee's situation.
What she saw had left her breathless.
Seraphina couldn't utter a word, let alone move an inch, for the scene before her was horrific, to say the least.
Her feelings helped her, though.
"I did it, Aimee! Come here!"
