Chapter 12
"Protect our Lord!" The two Knights rushed forward. The Mankestre Snake let out a ferocious roar, and directly gobbled the two Knights into its belly.
"Secondary Fireball!"
"Acidic Aqua Shot"
At this moment, the other acolytes also cast their spells, striking the body of the huge snake.
* Bang! * A black arrow with a yellow flame exploded from the body of the huge snake, revealing two scorched holes/wounds/gashes.
The huge snake let off a roar, which carried a tinge of agony. Its scales shook, and it sent its tail flying towards the few acolytes.
The huge snake swatted its tail, and a few acolytes who were unable to dodge in time were turned into meat pancakes, and blood oozed from beneath the snake's body.
"No! Decker! Lancer!" Murphy cried hoarsely in anguish.
"There's no choice, we have to retreat first!" The few remaining people huddled together, when the grey robed figure behind Jackson spoke in a deep growl.
"No! This damned worm dared to kill Decker and the rest! I will definitely not let it go!" Murphy's eyes were rather bloodshot.
"I have a spell that can temporarily restrict its movements, the rest will be up to you guys."
Murphy stepped forward, placed the monocle that he always carried in his hand, and tossed it towards the huge snake.
* Bang! * The glass shattered on the huge snake, and many dark red runes suddenly surfaced.
The dark red runes multiplied, and turned into the shape of a long chain, binding the snake within it.
"What a powerful restraining spell!" Leylin's eyes flashed, "It will not be able to move for at least half a minute, so use whatever methods you guys have in that time."
The fine rune shackles were the size of a strand of hair compared to the huge Mankestre snake. However, under the restraint of the shackles, the huge snake was helplessly locked to the ground, not even able to move.
"Hurry, charge!" Jackson howled, and the huge sword radiated light.
On the other side, the grey-robed person too lifted his cloak, and revealed a Half-Beast Man appearance as he hurriedly chanted an incantation.
* Roar! * The remaining creatures felt the danger that their parent was in, and rushed forward, with no thoughts for their own safety, towards Leylin and the rest.
"Fuck Off" Leylin pulled out a few fire red coloured explosive potions and decimated the remaining creatures into ashes.
"To the Mankestre snake, the eyes are their achilles heel, and is even more vulnerable than the heart.
Leylin started chanting.
Along with the chanting of the mysterious and ancient Byron language resounding in the cave, a hoard of congealed and thick black oily bodies appeared beside Leylin, completely surrounding him.
* Bang! * Viscount Jackson was immediately knocked away, and even the breastplate he was wearing was dented inwards.
The frost greatsword landed upright by his side, burying itself halfway into the ground.
* Ping Ping Ping! * The layer of ice continuously cracked, and finally even the sword, which was made of steel, shattered into countless fragments that landed on the floor.
However, at this moment, Murphy's complexion turned red, "I can't control it any longer!"
Under the continuous struggles of the Mankestre snake, the rune shackles around it finally collapsed with a rattling sound. As for the price of being able to free itself, the snake had already suffered a dozen wounds which penetrated through its scales.
As for the heavily injured Mankestre snake, its bloodshot eyes turned even more crimson. With lightning speed, it swiped and coiled its tail and wrapped up there Half-Beast Man.
No! Save me!" The tail continuously constricted, and the huge snake's figure almost covered the entirety of the Half-Beast Man.
At this moment, Jackson, who was not sure if he was still alive or dead, lay on the side, and could not answer his subordinate cries at all.
* Ga-cha! * With a creaking noise, the ear-piercing sounds of bones shattering resounded in the air. The Half-Beast Man's distressed cries climbed higher in pitch, until finally, it turned into dead silence.
Leylin watched the huge, moribund snake attentively, as he drew a few potions of various colours.
* Bang! *
A huge black figure attacked, and hit a yellow test tube that had left Leylin's hands. In the surrounding area, a layer of yellow light appeared, and engulfed Leylin's entire body.
The immense might crashed into Leylin and he was sent flying, crashing into a nearby granite rock. Mud flew above his head as he landed, and there was even a huge impression left on the rock behind his back.
At the same time as Leylin was sent back flying, a layer of intense red flames extended from the snake's tail, and multiple colours of light also blossomed on the snake's body, finally resulting in the cries of the Mankestre snake.
The yellow light shattered into many pieces, before finally dissipating into the air.
Leylin's body was completely unscathed.
Leylin!" Murphy's eyes widened, "YouAre you alright?"
"En! I've wasted an expensive defensive potion that I've acquired!" Leylin's said.
"This damned beast, I'm going to kill it!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the huge Mankestre snake lay half dead on the floor, seemingly spent, and having wounds strewn across its body.
First, it was hit with Leylin's hybrid attack, before almost having its head chopped off by Grand Knight Jackson. Afterwards, it escaped from Murphy's rune shackles through brute force, before it was finally struck again by Leylin's potions.
The snake head, which was always held high with pride, now lay helpless on the floor. Its tongue hissed, and blood continuously flowed out from its neck area.
Murphy gritted his teeth, and shot a green coloured pyramid shaft, which directly lodged itself into the eyes of the huge snake.
* Pu! * The snake's eyes were finally pierced through, and a layer of creamy red and yellow liquid splashed out, which was sparkling yet translucent.
