Chapter 461: Chapter 455: Bristle Serpent’s Skin

Translator: 549690339

The heavy blow to its head triggered the ferocity deeply hidden within the blood of the Red-face Bristle Serpent.

It spewed scorching flames, let out a furious roar from its mouth, disregarding Rainbow and Daphne in front of it. It wielded its sword to slash the scale beneath the throat of the Gluttonous Beast, but the Gluttonous Beast easily avoided it and delivered a heavy punch on its head.

“An opportunity!”

Rainbow took the opportunity to get close to the Red-face Bristle Serpent, creating an inescapable slow space around herself.

Upon the suppression of the mighty gravity, the Bristle Serpent’s movements became rigid, and the speed of its sword swing diminished by a full 80%. Even the power of the flame mixed in his left claw wasn’t as vigorous as before.

At that moment, a laser with strong penetration burst out from Daphne’s eyes that resembled the blazing sun, grazing past the palm of the Bristle Serpent. “Sizzle!” Hot smoke began to rise.

Perhaps because of the high fire resistance of the Red-face Bristle Serpent, Daphne’s Purgatory Aurora didn’t sever the Bristle Serpent’s sharp claw but only left two hideous scars.

“Moo!”

With a furious roar from the Red-face Bristle Serpent, a giant red bull’s shadow that obscured the skies condensed behind it, and the terrifying Overlord Domination burst out.

The moment the slow space collided and clashed with the Bristle Serpent’s domination, endless pillars of magma surged out from the lava stream, and visible space cracks began to tear and shatter densely around them.

“Energy storage!”

As David Jones finished speaking, a dark glow emerged from the Gluttonous Beast.

Its body quickly grew larger, its dragon claws that obscured the skies firmly bound Red-face Bristle Serpent in place and made a large number of bloody wounds all over his opponent’s body.

“Quickly finish it off!” David Jones, his body entwined with the glow of the Fire-Resist Bead, reminded.

The time for the Beast Refining Tower to be opened was limited, to say nothing of the fact that he was short of seven days of accelerated cultivation time due to the last punishment.

At his words, Rainbow hesitated no longer and directly launched a Space Crack at the Bristle Serpent’s chest. Cracks opened in space like a spider web caused the Bristle Serpent to stagger, its body shaking violently.

In fact, for the Bristle Serpent of such a large size, the wounds left by Daphne and Rainbow were troublesome but could slowly heal under the scorching lava.

What’s most disgusting was that sneaky black dragon that kept attacking and trapping it from behind, sucking away its Arcane Force, making it impossible for it to exert its full strength.

“Moo!” (Eruption Eight Directions!)

A wisp of interwoven red and black flames gradually emerged from the sword in the tight grip of the Bristle Serpent. This created a constantly rotating vortex that resembled a funnel and absorbed a massive amount of Fire-type Arcane Force.

It is widely known that the limit of a Bristle Serpent’s strength depends on the quality of the human or beast souls it devours. The stronger the soul it devours, the higher its cultivation, the more its explosive power may multiply.

The Bristle Serpent manifested in the Beast Refining Tower had devoured a Sword Master.

You should know that in the era when martial arts were prosperous in the middle ages, Beast Trainers were just a small way, and a Sword Master who could cultivate their sword to be one with their heart was comparable to the powerful existence of a Sixth Order King in today’s era of Beast Control.

Moreover, the body of a Bristle Serpent was inherently robust, combined with an unimaginable realm of sword skill, it could perfectly exert its own strength, making it peerless in its class.

At this critical moment, the enraged Red-face Bristle Serpent directly used the most impressive and powerful technique from its memory, capable of levelling mountains and filling the sea.

The next second, under David Jones’s amazed gaze, the flaming great sword in the Bristle Serpent’s hand had become the sole focus of the world.

A momentum, akin to a volcano about to erupt, gave off an intense sense of danger, which even made David Jones’s fingers twitch involuntarily.

One can imagine that when the Red-face Bristle Serpent has finished gathering its strength, the resulting attack would indeed be earth-shattering and terrifying.

However, David Jones didn’t intend to allow the Bristle Serpent to continue building up power.

Even though the lost art of swordsmanship is powerful, he would not be so reckless as to just stand by and watch the Bristle Serpent exhibit its strongest skill, simply to witness its magnitude.

David Jones: “Gluttonous Beast, break its momentum.”

The Gluttonous Beast, while absorbing the fire-based Arcane Force exuding from the Bristle Serpent’s body, extended its right dragon claw in one swift motion, aiming for the brightly glowing hilt of the Bristle Serpent’s sword.

“Vroom!”

As if a primordial volcano was erupting, a storm of sword energy that intertwined gold and fire light, radiating thousands of flames, centered on the Bristle Serpent, summarily engulfed everything in its path.

“Rumble rumble!”

The terrifying pressure of the sword swallowed the figures of the three pets, and the earth-shattering shockwave reached where David Jones stood.

With the Black Dragon Badge emitting a gentle light, any shockwaves and specks of lava splatter within a meter of David Jones instantly vanished. However, he didn’t pay it any attention, his gaze fixed on the sky-touching sword light.

“Roar!”

A dragon roar, which was hard to discern as being due to pain or comfort, caused a momentary paralysis of the gleeful expression on the Bristle Serpent’s face.

Immediately after, under the Bristle Serpent’s resentful gaze, the Gluttonous Beast’s dragon claw tore through the mighty sword light, not only shattering half of its bull-head but even breaking off one of its strongest bull horns.

At the same time, Rainbow appeared instantly above the Bristle Serpent’s head, ejecting a Cold Breath from its mouth, entirely freezing the overstressed head of the Bristle Serpent.

As for Daphne, she was excitedly opening her mouth wide, using Swallow Flame to devour the sword-infested flames, disregarding the sword light permeating her body.

“Rumbling!”

The fallen Red-face Bristle Serpent collapsed onto the Lava Lake, splashing large amounts of scorching hot lava.

“Once the flames are swallowed, use the Destiny Flame to remove its hide.”

David Jones glanced at Daphne, who was noticeably weakened.

Clearly, unlike the Gluttonous Beast who relied on its strong defense to resist the attack and Rainbow who used Instant Teleportation to dodge, Daphne did pay a high price to block that sword strike, even though there seemed to be no visible injuries on her body.

“Mew!”

Daphne quickly digested all the swallowed flames and exhaled a strand of almost invisible silvery Destiny Flame onto the fallen beast’s chest.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

Like burning charcoal, wisps of hazy white smoke billowed from the Bristle Serpent’s body, and then a soft, slightly red, approximately one-meter square piece of leather fell from its body into the lava.

Rainbow quickly moved the slightly reddish, shiny piece of leather with its psychic power in front of David Jones.

(Bristle Serpent’s Hide]: Level VI fire training beast resource. Can devour souls and plunder skills.
