Chapter 1002 1002 Battle for the Tower of Heaven (3)

Upon seeing that it was now surrounded by nine Thunderous Molten Colossi, The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent showed a look of true alarm on all of its heads for the first time.

Even when it had been blasted off the tower and had one of its heads chopped off it did not feel this pressured.

However, while one of Marcus' ultimate golems was only a minor threat, even a high-level mythic grade beast like The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent could not discount the current danger to its life.

Of course, only one of the Thunderous Molten Colossi was truly real. Thegia's magic had simply created eight illusions of the titanic golem.

Still, these were not the average illusions. Thegia's tier nine spell was far more powerful than simply creating hollow copies. The illusions were so real that it tricked anyone who saw them into believing that what they were seeing was actually there and could cause psychic damage to those that were attacked by her illusory creations.

'Let's do this.' Marcus and Thegia thought at the same time due to their minds being synced.

Normally it would have been impossible for Marcus and Thegia to move the real Thunderous Molten Colossus and Thegia's copies cohesively, but with their thoughts being shared without any delay, both of them could work together seamlessly.

All nine of the Colossi moved in tandem and surrounded the giant serpent that was their target.

Each one threw a perfectly times attack with the other, forcing The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent to defended.

It attempted to use its floating scales to repel the nine golems, but it did little damage to the real one and absolutely nothing to the eight fakes.

After that, its remaining heads each unleashed different breath attacks that razed the surroundings.

'I didn't expect it to go berserk all of a sudden.' Marcus thought as he and Thegia moved farther away to avoid the indiscriminate attacks flying all over the place.

Thankfully no one was seriously injuries by The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent frenzy since its attacks had been directionless.

Nevertheless, all the members of the expedition squad had been forced to backoff or risk being killed without putting up any resistance. This had caused their rhythm to be broken and given their enemy a bit of time to get its act back together.

"Okay, I have finished healing everyone. Drink some mana and stamina potions and get back into the fight. If we can't bring it down all at once, we will wear it out until it no longer has the energy to resist." Evette said, acting as the commander for the battle.

Once The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent had finished its tantrum, everyone returned to their roles and began the fight anew. Now that they had seen what their adversary was capable of everyone was getting used to the way it moved and things were going more smoothly.

'It's definitely not as powerful offensively as Gwyneira or Retharin. If I had to make a comparison, it fights more like the Doomsday Worm. Taking whatever hit comes its way with its incredible bulk and rapidly healing off and damage it incurs.' Marcus thought, analyzing the abilities that the guardian of the Tower of Heaven possessed.

Needless to say, it was not close to as powerful as the deadly doomsday monster that required several of the strongest individuals in the world to defeat. If it was, the entire expedition squad would have already been defeated by this point.

Eventually a third and then fourth head were destroyed, and the continuous pressure kept The Celestial Seven-Headed Serpent from ever fully recovering. At this rate it was only a matter of time before the subordinate heads were all destroyed, and the central head could be attacked. Then once they destroyed the final head, the guardian would finally be defeated.

Unfortunately, as well as things had been going, it only took one moment for a battle of this level to suddenly make a turn for the worse. And this moment came when The Celestial Seven-Head Serpent caught them off-guard with one of its strongest abilities.novelbIn
