Chapter 596: Volume 15: Thunder Shakes the Ground Chapter 14: Super Performance

Countless intense golden electric arcs formed a ring that firmly locked the head of the Komola Python as it tried to hide. It was like placing a dazzling, floating crown atop the python’s head. However, this floating crown suddenly shattered, exploding into numerous irregular golden orbs of light that swiftly pierced into the panicked head of the python.

The powerful thunder-based magic struck the head of the Komola Python without reservation, exploding violently inside. The Komola Python twisted its head in agony, trying to break free from the torturous assault, but how could it escape the immense power of the Hammer of Thor so easily? Golden electric arcs kept condensing into rings of light on the python’s head before bursting again and again. Blood kept gushing from its eyes and mouth, clearly showing that the ferocious strikes from the Hammer of Thor had inflicted serious damage on the Komola Python, a creature that normally feared nothing under the heavens.

Komer had not expected the Komola Python to have such a strong vitality. He had already consecutively used enhanced magic and sustained magic to prolong the duration of the Hammer of Thor, a spell that consumed a vast amount of magic power. But even as the Komola Python rolled and twisted in pain, it still did not die. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped out from Komer’s forehead. At this moment, Komer was in a difficult position; if the strike from the Hammer of Thor did not secure an absolute victory, with the Komola Python’s strong vitality, it could easily absorb Earth Qi and Dark Power to heal and recover its body. By then, it might spell doom for Komer.

Just then, Lome, who was by his side, finally freed up her hands to lend Komer a hand. A recovery spell allowed Komer to catch his breath, enabling him to endure this most difficult moment. Otherwise, Komer would have had to resort to using his Saint Yuan magic power.

When the Hammer of Thor, supported by a formidable magic power, showed its true form for the last time, the massive hammer became extraordinarily clear. Even the various magical patterns on the hammer were visibly sharp, like a root system of light flashing down, striking the head of the staggering Komola Python. Unable to withstand this final, fierce blow, the bloodied python head reared dramatically towards the sky, letting out a piercing, shrill cry that seemed to be warning its allies to avenge it.

The three Dark Fire Skeletons caught the attention of all the companions, including Rebury, the moment they appeared. Many among the group were vaguely aware that this lord from the Caucasus was quite skilled in Dark Magic and had some unique secrets in Puppet Magic. Even the master of Puppet Magic, Mihailovich, looked favorably upon Komer. But when they saw Komer summon three skeleton warriors right away, despite being mentally prepared, they couldn’t help but be taken aback.

The three skeleton warriors almost immediately took up the vacancy left by Shatima’s impulsive charge. The Demon Scorpion’s poison mist attacks were meaningless against the skeleton warriors. What use is poison to beings that do not even possess a life to harm? The skeleton warriors, with their shining curved knives and solid round shields, fulfilled their duties impeccably. They stirred up swirls of black mist, not only charging boldly through the Demon Scorpion Group but also unleashing wave after wave of attacks without restraint.

These three Dark Fire Skeletons were clearly specially trained and refined. Not only were their bodies strengthened through Solidification Magic, but they were also specifically tempered with Fire Magic. Coupled with their innate dark nature, this gave them the strength to fight against Magical Beasts. Their curved knives and round shields were specially crafted by Komer for them. Although they were not products of pure Magic Metal, they were made from high-quality fine iron with added Dark Magic Metal that bore shadowy magic power. These weapons suited the Dark Fire Skeletons’ body characteristics well, maximizing the dark creatures’ dark magical power.

As Komer and Lome successfully killed the second Komola Python, the situation finally stabilized. Rebury’s Fire Magic formed a series of continuous Fire Rings that compressed the Demon Scorpions within. The Demon Scorpions were forced to attempt to break through the Fire Rings, but under Rebury’s powerful magic control, the magic fire rings were manipulated to a near art form. The Demon Scorpions were utterly unable to break through the flames, which grew fiercer by the moment, and could do nothing to avoid being turned into charred segments.

The other Komola Python had already quietly fled the attack radius of Komer and his companions when the second python was enveloped by Komer’s Hammer of Thor. Even Mihailovich, who was eager to engage the Komola Python with his mechanical puppets, did not get the chance to act before the python vanished into the dark depths.

When Shatima and Vladimir Koff drove group after group of Demon Scorpions, which were then surrounded by Rebury’s seemingly eternal Fire Ring magic, Grace and Finitz became restless, too. At first, if the two women were too scared to move rashly by the madness of the Magical Beasts, now it was evidently their side that held the absolute advantage, which also provided them with the best opportunity to kill the Magical Beasts at close range.

The Demon Scorpions did not seem as fearsome as imagined, at least not in front of Komer and Rebury. Whether it was Komer’s thunder-based magic or Rebury’s Fire Magic Circle, both successfully and effortlessly executed the slaughter of the Demon Scorpions. However, when Grace leaped forward with her stiletto glowing faintly, charging at the Demon Scorpions, and when Finitz’s delicate Elf Bow and Arrow burst into dazzling colors, things did not seem so effortless anymore.

With all her strength, Grace’s sword struck and sparked off countless flashes against the Demon Scorpions’ nimble claws. Although one of the scorpion’s claws broke, the powerful recoil bounced Grace more than a meter high. Using the inertia of the upward thrust, Grace agilely flipped in the air, suddenly flipping over to the backside of the Demon Scorpion and bursting forth. It was only at this moment that the Demon Scorpions showed their real power; despite the loss of a claw reducing their strength, the tail stingers madly swept like thunderous steel whips, striking Grace’s stiletto. The tremendous pulling force made Grace’s arms numb, forcing her to drift and dodge, as if a willow branch dancing nimbly in the wind and rain.

Finitz’s Elf Bow and Arrow, although she fired three arrows continuously, each imbued with the natural Wood-based Magic Power of the elves and striking another Demon Scorpion without fail, seemed powerless against the robust vitality of the Demon Scorpions. Their solid scales, vulnerable against Vladimir Koff’s Dark Fighting Qi and Komer’s Hammer of Thor, acted as an insurmountable thick shield against the Elf Arrows. The arrows struck the scales with a crisp metallic sound, but not one could penetrate the Demon Scorpions, prompting Finitz to cover her cherry lips in dismay. It was then she fully realized the vast gap between herself and her seemingly unremarkable companions.

When Mihailovich released his mechanical puppets, everyone was stunned by the metallic fragrance floating from the full-body of this beautiful, exquisite machine, looking almost like an unparalleled work of art from a museum. The face, slightly square and evidently cast from Water-based Magic Metal and Wood-based Magic Metal, told of its crafting; the Water-based Magic Metal was the most flexible, while the Wood-based Magic Metal fused various types of magic power well. This composed the head of the puppet, while other parts, especially the limbs, were evidently cast from extremely hard Rigid Magic Metal. The torso likely selected the earthy yellow Earth-based Magic Metal to reduce weight and cost, able to absorb and dissipate impact forces even under external strikes. The torso’s joints still used the bluish-grey semi-transparent Water-based Magic Metal, whose stretchability and durability made it ideal for the support of such high-grade puppets.

Whether it was Komer, Rebury, or Newman, all were astonished by Mihailovich’s generosity. Aside from the two Dark Knights who kept their composure slightly better, even Lome, who usually showed little change in expression, sincerely marveled at Mihailovich’s masterpiece.

The mechanical puppet showed its superior strength as soon as it joined the combat, clearly a killing machine. The fore-ends of its arms were shaped into shovel-like attack points, and its arms were equipped with sharp sawteeth. The gleaming shovel edges and sawteeth shone with a terrifying, bloodthirsty glow in the dim light, and the chest and abdomen joints were wrapped with spiked shields to enhance the protection of these sensitive areas.

The clear upper limbs were like two razor-sharp guillotine blades, roaming freely among the Demon Scorpion Group. Where the blades passed, destruction followed. The Demon Scorpions soon realized the danger of this metallic killer, and after several futile attempts to enhance their attacks, they found that neither poison gas nor Physical Attacks could harm this enemy. They had no choice but to start avoiding the carnage of the mechanical puppet.

At this time, the Square had almost become a performance stage for the mechanical puppet and Shatima, one methodically ruthless, wielding its shovel-like arms like the Scythe of Death slashing the endless Demon Scorpions; the other, seeming mad with rage, chasing and killing, the spearhead of her Dragon Spear pointed wherever there were more Demon Scorpions. The once-arrogant Demon Scorpions even became the most convenient targets for these two butchers. It seemed like two competitors showing off their Demon Scorpion killing skills to each other, causing the others to gradually stop their attacks and simply watch the performance of the two.
