Chapter 312 Medusa's Attack



"It's you, the destroyer again," The voice behind Arad hissed, "I thought it would be some time before you return,"

Arad stood still, feeling the oppressive monster behind them. ^This feeling, it's far heavier than the golem outside,^

Arad could feel the magic oozing from the monster.

"What happened to the witch? What happened to Doma?" Arad grunted.

"My sweet daughter? She died almost a century ago of old age," The voice behind Arad growled, "At the young age of twelve, she dreamt of flying on a great black dragon, so she studied the witch arts to search for that dragon,"

"Dead? Who gave me the letter? What happened last night?" Arad wanted to turn around. But he didn't dare look at the monster.

"When I bought Albert, I never knew this could happen," The monster's voice cracked, "Doma was born, and she quickly grew into a splendid witch, but even she couldn't beat time," CLANG! The monster smacked the wall with her tail.

"Albert and I slept first, but she woke us, cursed to wander her hut until the dragon she dreamt of comes. We were to then give you her letter and ring. And then kill you when you come back, sending you to her." The monster wiggled.

"You're the one who gave Arad the ring?" Eris asked.

CRACK! The monster swung her tail, smacking Eris to the wall. "Shut up! Woman!"

Arad gasped. He couldn't see her attack. "I'm talking with the destroyer, don't butt in, cursed vampire!" The monster growled as Arad stared at the tip of its large green tail.

Eris started regeneration. Such a hit won't harm her too much.

"So, you're saying that Doma asked you to kill me?" Arad asked with a calm voice.

"She said to try. That would free us from the curse," The voice replied, "I used to be a beautiful elf woman. Right now, no one dares to look at my face. And those who do dies as stones."

"Fine," Arad sighed, pulling an old rug from his stomach, and wrapping it around his eyes, "Just, let me get ready,"

"You want to fight me blinded, aren't you overconfident?" The monster giggled.

"It's my only option. I will lose instantly if I looked at you," Arad wrapped his eyes and smiled, "I have other ways to see," Even without his vision, he could still see her magic, blood, and hormones from beneath his blindfold.

"My eyes are far superior to yours," Arad started floating as he pointed at the monster.

^You have to avoid eye-to-eye contact. Unlike what the rumors might lead people to believe, all the snakes on her head can petrify, so looking at her from any direction is the end,^

"You took Albert's sword. Won't you use it against me?" The large coiled Medusa growled, clenching her claws as she hissed, the snakes on her head writhing like dying worms.

"Looking at the flow of your magic, fighting you with physical attacks should be meaningless," Arad could see a high density of magic in the Medusa's scales, and judging by the flow of her blood, her physical strength should be superior to him, even in dragon form.I think you should take a look at

It's like a lion facing an anaconda. It's all over if it coiled around him. ^I have to keep moving and blast here from a distance, until I claw her scales out,^

SWOSH! In the blink of an eye, the Medusa swung her tail at Arad's chest.

ZON! Arad teleported behind her, keeping his finger pointing at her. [Fire Bolt] [Fire Bolt] [Fire Bolt]

Medusa twisted her upper torso, dodging Arad's fireballs with ease as she opened her jaw. SPLASH! Two streams of poison splashed forth, covering the air around Arad.

TAP! Arad landed, tapping his foot on the ground. CRACK! A wave of cold magic rushed from his leg, freezing the position mid-air. "How much magic did you infuse in this attack? It's terrifying," Arad couldn't see, so he won't be able to tell if what she sent at him was a spell or something else. He can only tell by magic and his other senses.

"And it smells bad, burning my throat," He coughed, unleashing a lightning breath out of nowhere.

"GIH!" Medusa swung her fist up, blocking the lightning breath but getting her scales slightly burned, "You masked it with a cough. You're crafty, aren't you?"

"Crafty?" Arad shook his head, waving his hands, "Not at all, I'm just doing my best," He clapped his hands together, smiling. [Gravity Magic: Reverse Gravity]

SWOSH! In the blink of an eye, Medusa fell upward, smashing through the ceiling, and breaking the second floor. BAM! She finally shattered the ceiling and flew into the sky.

"Look! It's a Giant..." Isdis growled, but she turned into a stone the moment her eyes fell on Medusa. Everyone looked up and ended up turned to stone again, all except Jack, who was invisible.

For a Medusa to petrify someone, their eyes need to meet. That means If she can't see someone she can't turn him into stone. Jack could see her, but the second condition wasn't met.

SWOSH! Arad flew after Medusa, flapping his wings. ^Flying blind is hard. I can barely balance myself.^ He grunted.

[Don't worry. Look down. You can see Aella and the others' magic, can't you? They are at ground level, so use them as a reference.]

^Understood,^ Arad smiled, balancing himself and looking at Medusa, "Lifting you like this is exhausting, so get back down," He disable led his spell, letting her fall.

Thud! Medusa coiled her tail around Arad's legs, crushing them as she pulled him down with her.

Arad gasped, ^She caught me?^

Medusa didn't wait. She coiled around Arad, trying to crush him.

ZON! Arad appeared a few meters away, his legs bleeding as they healed, "That was close. You're fast, aren't you?" He looked down as Medusa crashed to the ground, destroying half of the mansion.

Medusa looked up. ^He's weaker than me, yet fighting me blinded.^ Her eyes stopped at the ring on Arad's hand, ^You aren't helping him, are you? Doma,^
