Chapter 171: Monstrous Fight



Chapter 171: Monstrous Fight

Back into the sky, although Neith was slower than the dragons and had trouble moving around, she was slaughtering them with ease. Anyone who even approached her would get pierced through by her legs.

Moreover, she was spraying deadly poison in the air, and an acid rain had already started forming above the dragons. As they got hit by the venom, it would not only eat away their scales and destroy their defense, but also slow them down.

Among all the dragons, the only one still in a good condition was the Water Dragon Princess, who had a shield of water around her body protecting her.

She was looking at Neith troubled, this was a Chosen monster, moreover a spider. The spider clan was a powerful clan as powerful as their dragon clan, and although she didn't know why the spider was with Adam, she didn't want to offend the clan behind her.

But it was starting to look like it wasn't going to be possible for them to peacefully talk to each other. Although she was reluctant to kill the spider, she wasn't afraid.

She charged another dragon breath and fired it at Neith. Neith tried to move out of the way, but she had turned into a fifty meters tall spider, and was too big of a target. However, even though she was hit, although she felt pain, she was fine in the end since this was only a single dragon breath, and she had created a layer of rocks on top of her body as an armor.

After more or less brushing off the attack, Neith turned her head toward the sky and opened her mouth wide. The dragons thought she was going for another sonic attack and so they stopped moving for a moment to take the time to protect their insides from the sonic waves.

However, Neith didn't screech, but instead shoot out a huge amount of white webs, literally covering the sky with them. What was strange with those webs though was that at some point they stopped falling and began hovering in midair, forming a huge spiderweb in the air.

The spiderweb severely restricted the mobility of the dragons, and any who got stuck on a web would suffer. At first, the webs were just sticky, but the acid rain was still falling, and every time a drop hit one of the strings, it would stick to it before flowing down onto it.

So quickly all the webs also got covered in acid, and they would cut into the dragons' bodies. The harder they struggled, the deeper they would go. Only with the help of other dragons were they able to get off of it.

While the dragons were struggling, Neith used another skill to create hundreds of Earth spears using the ground under the water. All those spears were five meters long and one meter thick, and were definitely weapons of mass destruction.

So when Neith threw them all at the same time toward them, they started panicking. They couldn't even dodge because of the webs.

But when the spears were about to hit the dragons, a thick water shield appeared in font of the spears. The spears entered the water and created huge splashes as they did so, and although they lost most of their velocity, they still went through the water shield.

Many of them hit the dragons, but thankfully for them the spears had lost enough powers to only slightly hurt them. Moreover, as the shield was destroyed by the hundreds of spears, it didn't just fall back in the water, but instead turned into numerous smaller water blades that slashed at the many webs, cutting them.

Now freed, the dragons roared as they flew to be farther from each other. As for Neith, she looked at the Water Dragon Princess, the one who used the water spell, with hate and annoyance. By now, she had already recovered her mind and she remembered that Adam was capable of reviving, and so she wasn't as furious as she was before.

She knew that she better find a way to escape rather than kill them all, but that female dragon most probably wouldn't. It didn't cross her mind even one second though that the opponent was wary of her identity and would definitely let her go were she to try.

Because of this misunderstanding, Neith decided to continue fighting, and she started targeting the Water Dragon Princess since she was the only one capable of threatening her anyway.

While chaos was ensuing in the sky, Xilzror was silently recovering from his wounds deep in the lake. He was astounded by the power Neith was displaying, and couldn't help but tremble thinking back of the aura Adam had started releasing earlier.

The most fearsome thing was that even when he died, his aura was still building up, meaning he would be even more powerful than they could think.

What he didn't know was that the presumably dead Adam was showing signs of recovery. The hole in his chest was already half healed, and his HP, which had fallen to 0 earlier, had come back to 1, and was quickly getting back up.

Back to the sky, Neith suddenly started plummeting toward the water, and she dived in it, creating huge waves. She didn't stop until she hit the lake's bed, where she heavily stomped her feet. As she did so, pillars of rocks rose one after another, and started forming walls several meters thick.

Neith jumped from the lake's bed onto one of the pillars, now she wasn't at a disadvantage for the terrain. What none of them saw was that the sudden change of the lake's bed made Adam's giant body fall into a crevasse, which closed quickly after swallowing up.

As the fight above continued, Adam was finally revived, and he continued undergoing his transformation, although slower than before.

In the sky, Neith stabbed her foot toward a pillar, sending a wave of compressed air toward into the pillar, destroying it into smaller rocks. However, before the rocks could fall into the water a strange scene took place.

First they turned into sand, and then it looked like gravity had suddenly been reversed as instead of falling into the sea, the grains of sand began rising up.

The dragons felt something fishy was going on, but Neith didn't give them the time to think about it as she used another sonic attack. The dragons protected themselves, but they didn't see that as the sound waves passed by the different grains of sand, the latter starting gathering closer to each other.

When they realized what Neith wanted to do, it was already too late. The grains of sand were now sticking to the dragons body, and as they did so they seemed to become much heavier, slowing them down a lot.

But the worst off in this situation were the ones injured as sand infiltrated their wounds and entered their blood network. Some dragons tried to wash off the sand with water, but they found out that each grain of sand was tightly stuck to their body, and were very hard to pull of.

Even the Water Dragon Princess was having trouble getting rid of them, so she decided to take care of the one controlling them directly. With a flap of her wings, she appeared next to Neith, and before the spider could react she violently bit her.

The dragon's fangs penetrated the spider's armor shell without a problem and sunk into her flesh. However, as she did so the Water Dragon Princess understood her mistake as she felt her fangs as well as her lips corrode as they came in contact with the spider's blood.

She hurriedly let go, but before flying away she used her tail to pierce a hole into Neith. Neith screeched in pain, but the dragon was too fast, and too strong for her. Moreover, since the beginning of the fight she had been using her Aura madly, and she had only a little remaining.

Even for her skill with the grains of sand, it was pumping a lot of Aura every second.

And the Water Dragon Princess knew it as well, as she took her distance she prepared herself to deal an overpowered Dragon Breath.

But as she was about to do that, all the dragons, as well as Neith, were petrified. From under the sea, a terrifying roar came out. That roar did not carry any sonic wave attack, but the sheer might of the sound injured everyone.

But they couldn't care less about those injuries, as they felt the might of the one releasing the sound. The roar lasted for five seconds, and everyone here felt like they were facing one of the deadly leviathans of the Neverending Sea.

The moment after the roar was released, a huge white arm punched through the ground and quickly reached the height of the dragons in the sky. Before anyone of them could react, the white paw smashed against the Water Dragon Princess.

She couldn't even offer some resistance as the paw smashed her into pieces.

Moreover, the paw wasn't done as claws appeared from it, and numerous flying slashes were sent from them, heading toward the dragons. They tried to put on protection, but no matter what kind of shields they put up, they ended up sliced in half.

As all the dragons in the sky died, the arm went back into the earth, disappearing from everyone's view.
