Chapter 103: Rematch

"Eh? To kill me? Just you?" The monster tilted its head upward and laughed crazily, it laughed for a whole minute before stopping and looking at Ivan."Foolish human, I know you're strong but you overestimate yourself. Come, I'll make you regret it in your death" The monster growled as its eye settled on Ivan.

Dum!

Ivan looked back, his eyes calm and his face void of all emotions; his expression was as if he was looking at a joke that wasn't funny.

The laugh of the monster ceased, and it took a step back; Ivan's expression was like that of a ruthless monster! seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

(A monster calling a human a monster, Ivan what have you done?!)

Without saying another word, Ivan tossed the card in his hand into the air.

Swoosh!

With a low ringing sound, the card shattered and turned into three colored lights that swirled around Ivan before taking form.

A dazzling golden bow that stood as tall as Ivan appeared in front of him, a blue arrow bursting with luminance gradually forming on the red string of the arrow before pulling back under an invisible force and facing the red tree demon.

The colors of the bow and arrow were so dazzling that they illuminated the entire hall with their colors.

The light in the eyes of the monster changed from red to pitch black as it saw the attack that Ivan was preparing to shoot at it.

With a sudden burst, the monster slammed its hands into the ground and mounted several defenses on itself.

It summoned a cloak of fire around itself, then made an armor of hardened rock; it proceeded to create a wall of thick vines in front of itself before finally creating its windshield.

It had stacked up every defense it could create to welcome Ivan's attack, the sight of the arrow filled the red tree demon with dread.

Ivan stared at the scene in front of him, his expression unchanging; with a thought, the arrow flew out.

Kacha!

It was like the entire world fell into darkness for a moment, a dazzling white light cut through this darkness, painting the whole world in black and white.

The arrow flew at a speed that broke through the sound barrier and appeared in front of the red tree demon. It left a long line of destruction as shattered earth froze in the air; unaware that their previous positions had changed.

With blinding speed, the fast-rotated windshield was as if it wasn't there.

Pierced through the wall of vines without leaving a mark.

Pierced through the armor of hardened rocks around the monster.

Passed through the cloak of flames without stopping.

Before finally piercing through the red tree demon, dragging the monster along with it and nailing it to a pillar behind it.

BOOM!

The entire hall shook and many pillars cracked, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Time resumed to flow normal again, but the scene in front of Ivan was like that of an apocalypse; the flight of the arrow had taken less than 0.0001 seconds!

The monster didn't even see what happened; it only realized that its defenses had been breached when it was already pinned to the wall, the three-colored arrows stuck in its chest.

"H-how"

Spurt!

The monster choked before a mass of green blood gushed out from the spaces between its leaves.

It proceeded to grab the body of the arrow in an attempt to pull it out.

Swiiisss!

Like sword intent, the luminance around the arrow rushed at its hand and shredded it into pieces.

The monster let out a pained howl, the luminance of the arrow had also started wrecking his insides.

*What is this? What did you do, you filthy human!" The monster shouted at Ivan who was currently walking over slowly with a carefree gaze.

"Don't talk; die now," Ivan mumbled in response as another card appeared in front of him, which he threw out.

Wam!

The card burst into light particles before gathering into a Small Golden flame in front of Ivan. The flame looked small and harmless, but its heat was not something to be taken lightly, as even when it was in the air, the ground around Ivan was already melting because of it.

Without another word of command, the flame flickered in the air and floated over to the monster that was nailed to the pillar.

"No! No, stop! I refuse this! Stop and fight me!"

The monster shouted relentlessly as it watched the flame getting closer and closer, the colors of its eyes changing rapidly as it attempted to push the flame in the other direction by sending gales of wind, vines, and even throwing earth at it; the small tongue of golden flame that looked like it could be easily extinguished simply melted through all of the monster's attempt and finally reached it.

The monster watched in horror as the golden flame calmly landed on its body and…

Voom!!

Like a matchstick that was tossed on a flammable object, the golden flame quickly spread across the monster's body and swallowed it.

"Ghraaaahhhhh!"

A loud anguished bellow came from the monster and spread far into the tunnel for over a hundred meters, echoing through the night.

But the voice quickly stopped because just after three seconds, the golden flame had reduced the red tree demon to nothing; not its ashes were left as the golden flame had burned it up as well.

The monster was gone!

Clang! Clang! Clang!!

After the monster was eaten up by the golden flame, several objects fell to the ground at the place where the monster had been pinned before, creating small metal-like sounds.

Ivan turned to look over and a glint flashed past his expressionless eyes, widening them for a moment.

The objects that had fallen from the remains of the tree demon were…Nexus crystals!

Ivan got closer and counted 8 of them, he was stunned.

"8 Nexus crystals from a single monster, I wonder how many other monsters it had devoured." Ivan thought while picking up the Nexus crystals and storing them. Discover hidden tales at M-V-L

Ivan had finished storing away his spoils of war and was about to leave when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps approaching, the ground shook under the pressure of these footsteps.

He turned over, the sounds coming from the direction of the other opening at the end of this space that led deeper into the tunnel; something was approaching from the deeper side of the tunnel.

Ivan's eyes narrowed, he waited to see what was causing the ground to shake from its weight.

"You withered tree, prepare to die by my hands this time!"

A loud beastly voice suddenly sounded from the opening.

'Another monster that was capable of speech?' Ivan raised an eyebrow.

The source of the voice and footsteps finally appeared at this moment.

It was a nine-meter tall reptile monster that stood on its two legs; it had massive webbed feet with three large claws poking out of them.

Its entire body was made of bulging muscles that made it as wide as three grown men joined together side by side, its long snout had jagged teeth poking from the side; its vertical yellow eyes rolled in their sockets as they scanned the place.

This new monster looked massive and powerful!
