Hero of Darkness Chapter 380: A Descendant

Chapter 380: A Descendant

In front of the purple and snake-like legendary creature that was 30 meters tall even it was only slithering normally among the open grounds of the marshlands, Kahn and the subordinates who were eying it from 10 kilometers away through a broadcasting artifact… were all stunned to speak.

And just now, Rudra suddenly declared that he found a worthy opponent out of nowhere and seemed to be ready to fight it all of a sudden.

"Stop acting like a fool! It's clearly stronger than all of us. And we don't know anything about its abilities yet.

Plus look at the surroundings. It's that creature's turf.

Never fight an enemy on the battlefield that they have an advantage on." spoke Kahn as he scolded Rudra.

"Don't look down on me, human.

So what if it's stronger? I can finally get rid of this boredom. And you think I haven't gotten stronger myself?" retorted the basilisk.

"Don't be impulsive. Even with your rank, you can't bypa.s.s the difference between levels and strength by much. That magma drake was just a High Lord… this one is different.

It may be weaker than the Invimarak monster but it's still at least 70 levels above you.

Even if all of us were to join with our great numbers… I feel like we will be walking towards our death. This place isn't even suitable for us to fight." spoke Kahn after he felt the mana and world energy around the legendary purple snake-like monster's body.

"Doesn't matter, just don't interfere." spoke Rudra stubbornly.

"Just shut up, numbnut! Let me gather enough intel first." spoke Kahn and looked at the generals of the a.s.sa.s.sins squad and air force.

"Ronin, Oliver… do your thing." ordered Kahn.

The Rogue and the Emerald Archer subordinates then led the charge of their respective troops.

Unlike Oliver who had his squadron of flying monsters, Ronin's underlings with a.s.sa.s.sins abilities and monsters with sensing skills had a hard time marching without getting detected because they had limited solid ground since most of the area was filled with muddy waters and deep lakes.

Soon after both the generals and their teams of a few thousand successfully came close to the 5 kilometers area… something unexpected happened.

Splas.h.!.+

Suddenly, dozens and then hundreds of red-colored scaly snakes appeared out of the muddy grounds, each one at least 3 meters in length and attacked the subordinates and monsters led by Ronin.

And to his surprise… even someone like Ronin himself hadn't detected their presence before as if these snake monsters were part of the land itself.

Hisssss!!

Screech!!

Soon, hundreds of the red snakes all hissed together and their ear-deafening voice that acted like an alarm horn echoed in the marshlands.

And as soon as the legendary creature that resided in the middle of these lands heard the noises, it was quickly alerted and raised its head high in the air.

Its 30 meters tall figure and more than a kilometer long body sent s.h.i.+vers to Kahn and the other two high lord subordinates who were watching from a distance.

While in the central region itself, the monster noticed Oliver and his flock of flying monsters.

HIIIISSSSSS!!!!

A loud and screeching hiss filled the 2 kilometers of area and before Oliver could even react… his eyes met with this gigantic monster's gaze.

Flicker!

Its yellow eyes flickered and even a high lord monster like Oliver lost control over his body under the insurmountable pressure exerted by this legendary monster.

Under the influence of its killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t… Oliver started losing control of his body. The same applied to many of the flying monsters that followed him.

BOOM!!

But before he fell halfway through the ground, Oliver suddenly released his true form and now, the six-winged demonic creature appeared.

Somehow, Oliver broke through the pressure after the burst of mana was released from his body. And without waiting for another second, he decided to fly with every bit of strength in his body.

However… Ronin on the other end suddenly informed Kahn about a major revelation.

"Master… it's venom!!

All these monsters have neurotoxic venom in their bodies! And they're acting like a pack! I'm sure they're all controlled by that legendary monster." reported Ronin.

"See, you idiot! If you went there waltzing in, you would've become a prey instead." spoke Kahn to Rudra who wanted to barge into the battlefield previously.

"My corrosive acid should negate it and unlike you… I actually have what you'd call a legendary rank poison immunity." said Rudra in a prideful tone.

"Still.. We need to plan ahead." spoke Kahn.

And before he could think of a strategy… Oliver also sent him a message.

"Master… there's something odd about this monster." he said.

"What is it?" asked Kahn.

"From time to time… I see small red extensions coming out of its scales.

They look like mini versions of… itself." he informed.

"I see. So that explains where all these red snakes came from. It can create an army of its own. What a terrifying ability." spoke Kahn as he a.n.a.lyzed the whole situation.

"Most of them are either part of its body or it's an as.e.xual creature that can create offspring on its own.

What an odd monster." said Kahn as he was more amazed.

"Thank goodness. If I tried to kill it using dimensional cut… even I would have died from its venom in its body just by getting in the 100 meters area." he said.

"System, what's the name of this monster?" asked Kahn.

[The creature is called Bjornmgandur, a monster species known for its lethal and toxic venom. It is enough to kill even a saint easily since the specimen itself is a legendary rank monster.] reported the system.

[[Author : Reference Art for the legendary Bjornmgandur in chapter comments. Check it out.]]

So Kahn was also out of the equation to attack this legendary monster because no way he'd be left untouched even if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed the monster. Because generally, these type of monsters released their toxin even after death.

"We will divert the mobs. And then take care of it." spoke Kahn.

"n.o.body interferes! this is my fight!" shouted Rudra in Kahn's mind.

Currently, only Rudra was suitable to fight it while Kahn and the others were only good enough to take down the small fries and whittle down the numbers of opposition.

"Why are you so adamant about fighting this monster on your own?" asked Kahn as he noticed this sudden s.h.i.+ft in Rudra's mood for a while.

"I must fight it myself. After all, this monster is also a.." spoke Rudra with his battle intent at peak…

"Descendant of the Basilisk!"
