Chapter 154: Self Explosion

The Scorpion shifted its body and began rushing towards the position that Olivia and Adam had appeared. Olivia sighed. If just the scorpion was this difficult to deal with, then, how difficult was it going to be when it came to dealing with the leader of the monsters? And, that feline creature had not moved an inch from where it was from the start.

’I don’t want to believe that you are actually capable of becoming invincible for a very long time. Let me just see how long you are going to hold on.’ As she began attacking once again. There was no need for her to give up.

Until Henry came over, it was too risky to leave the scorpion free. If it decided to attack the others that had not reached the bronze rank, then, there was no doubt that they would be cleared out in just a matter of moments.

She was not the only one that was attacking. And, knowing that although the ice prison was not capable of preventing the scorpion from moving around, but at least, it was capable of holding it back for a few seconds.

So without hesitation, Olivia began mobilizing the energy in her body, before casting the ice prison skill. The moment that she activated the skill, an ice cube suddenly enveloped the scorpion.

Just like before, the scorpion was able to melt its way out of the ice prison. But still, there was something that Olivia had noticed. And that was the fact that, previously, it had just taken the scorpion about two seconds to be able to break out of the ice prison.

But now, it had taken about 5 seconds. This was good news. Although the scorpion was currently invincible, that did not imply that it was completely indestructible. That implied that, they really had a chance of defeating it.

She was not the only one who had realized this. So, Diana stopped holding back. One after the other, several collapsing arrows were fired at the scorpion.

At the same time, Olivia had no choice but to carry Adam around with her. Since Adam had passed out, and the scorpion seemed to be targeting him, she had to ensure his safety. Anyway, although Adam never liked her, nonetheless, he was Henry’s brother. For that reason, she had to ensure that his safety was guaranteed.

Other than that, there was also a fact that they belonged to the same territory. Adam had stepped forward when she was about to be hit, saving her. Now, it could be said that she was repaying the debt.

The two continuously attacked without holding back. From time to time, Olivia would cast the ice age skill, freezing the ground and everything around her. Had it not been that she was the one that was holding Adam, he would have also been frozen.

But despite this, the scorpion was still capable of moving around. The ice just melted, but now what was produced. It was as if the water was also evaporated into a cloud of mist that was completely invisible to the two of them.

As the two of them continuously moved around, they did not forget to keep an eye on that feline creature. Since that was the leader, they had to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, if it made a move and they were caught off guard, it was going to be complicated.

What they were relieved about was that, that creature was not making a move despite the scorpions moves being useless. Although the creature was looking towards them, it did not seem that it was going to make any move soon.

Additionally, during this time that they had been attacking, Olivia and Diana had both realized that the red Aura that was covering the scorpion’s body was dimming down. It was obvious that the invincibility was about to wear out.

As for whether it was due to the attacks that they were continuously launching towards the scorpion, or due to the time limit for the scorpion to maintain the skill was about to elapse, they did not care. Anyway, as long as the scorpion was dealt with, then, everything was going to be okay for them.

After about 10 minutes of chasing and attacking, the scorpion finally stopped. It no longer chased after Adam. Instead, it completely froze in place as if there was something that was hindering it from moving.

Diana and Olivia both relaxed a little. But of course, they did not dare to lower down their guard. In fact, they were paying much closer attention to their surroundings. They had already realized that this scorpion had a skill that was capable of leaving a mirage-like figure behind.

Just as the two of them were wondering what was going on with the scorpion, its body began shining. The red aura that was surrounding the scorpion, had drastically dimmed down during the past 10 minutes.

But this time, the intensity of the red aura suddenly shot up. This immediately made Olivia and Diana to have a shift in the expressions. If the invincibility skill that this monster possessed was not going to ever end, did that imply that this monster was never going to be killed? Wasn’t that too overpowered?

And, if this monster could not be killed, then, how were they supposed to deal with the leader? There was no way that a subordinate was going to be stronger than the leader in the monster race. Although they were not sure about it, but still, they knew that the monsters respected strength the most.

"This thing should be killed before it carries out its plan." At this moment, a calm voice drifted into Olivia’s and Diana’s ears. They both looked in the direction of the voice with surprise in their eyes.

Even Diana who was paying much attention to her surroundings had not actually detected when Henry arrived here. Currently, he was just a few hundred meters away from them.

"Master!" Diana shouted excitedly as she looked in the direction that Henry was in. Henry was currently putting on his usual armor, and there was nothing strange about him. It was as if he had completely recovered.

Although Henry had already informed her that he was okay, she was still a little worried about him. After all, the condition that he was in previously was not something that they could understand.

Moreover, he had passed out for 2 days. So, it was not until she saw him standing on his own two feet, looking more energetic than ever before, did she finally prove that Henry was actually okay.

Henry who had just arrived did not waste time in talking. Instead, with a serious expression on his face, he began approaching the scorpion that was still standing in place.

Of course, after he arrived here, he had already noticed the figure that was standing in the distance. Without even needing to be told, he already realized that that was supposed to be the leader of the monsters that had attacked here today.

Clang!

Unsheathing the sword, Henry moved towards the scorpion under the confused gazes of Olivia and Diana. They could not understand why there was such an expression on Henry’s face. But still, they knew one thing, since he was having such an expression on his face, then, the situation was not good at all.

[ Black Scorpion

Race: Monster Race

Power Level: Level 4 bronze rank

Skills: Shadow mirage, underground movement, false invincibility, self explosion.

Affinity: Shadow. ]

Just after Henry arrived here, he had immediately focused on the scorpion. And, the following panel appeared in front of him. He was a little surprised when he founded that this monster was actually possessing an affinity towards the shadow.

This was the first time that he was knowing that there was the existence of a shadow element. Although in the system, he had already seen several skills that were related to the shadow, but still, majority of them required someone who have the dark element.

But, there was something that caught his attention. The skills that this monster possessed were all overpowered. There was none of them that was going to be considered useless. Instead, each and every one of them was meant to cause trouble to the opponents that it was facing.

Although there was no description about the skills, but still, he was able to tell from the name. Although he could have checked the descriptions of the skills from the system store, however, the time to access the system store was not there for now. After all, they were inside the battlefield.

What really made Henry’s expression to become serious was two skills from the scorpion. The first one was the false invincibility. Even if it was just false, the ability of the scorpion to become invincible was something that Henry had never seen before. Even in the system store, he had not seen it.

Perhaps the price of the skill was so high that he was not capable of purchasing it. So, there was no need for the system to show it to him.

The final one and the main reason why he was approaching the scorpion cautiously was that, it possessed a self-explosion skill. Even an idiot could understand the meaning of the skill. Self explosion.

"Retreat into the distance. Make sure that nobody approaches this monster. It is about to explode itself." Henry stated, completely dumbfounding Olivia and Diana. The two of them had not expected that the reason why the scorpion was standing there without moving was because it wanted to explode itself.

Although the two of them hesitated for a moment, they still decided to obey Henry’s words. They both had retreated, but they made sure that they did not keep a large distance, making sure that they were able to rush forward in case there was a need for them to.

When Henry arrived in front of the scorpion, he raised the sword and slashed down. At the same time as he was slashing down, he activated mountain splinter skill, as well as power surge.
