Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage - Chapter 36: Killing the Snake
When the snake appeared, everyone could see its real appearance.
The snake’s body was completely green with brown stripes, this was to increase the camouflage. Two sharp fangs as swords coming out of a mouth, when the snake opened its mouth it was possible to see two rows of sharp teeth like knives.
Zzzzzzzz…
The snake was making its sounds as it moved its tongue in and out of its mouth. Its eyes were sharp and were looking at the group as if they were delicious prey.
“This is an adult Verdant Snake, its power is compared to a level 8 intermediate mage. We’re unlucky…” Yao Mu was discouraged when he saw which wild beast was. Before, he still had some hope of defeating the snake depending on the type it was, but after seeing the species, he became discouraged.
“Senior, what are we going to do?” One student asked in a frightened way, did she know the power of a creature with the power of a level 8 intermediate mage.
“The only thing we can do is run, if it attacks us, we have no chance of running away. Its speed is extremely fast, although the snake has no poison, physical strength is extremely high. “Yao Mu said, even though he was using his magical equipment, he could not compare with a level 8 intermediate mage, besides, wild beasts have an extremely powerful physique.
“Everyone, get separated !!!” Yao Mu started running, he didn’t care about the other students, he would rather keep his own life than worry about others. The other students did the same.
Before running, Xue Feng looked deeply at the couple who were holding hands, he did not understand why they were standing. Although instructors will not let their students be killed, they will not appear unless it is a life or death situation.
(Are they waiting for the instructors to show up?) Xue Feng thought, he didn’t know why the couple was standing still, but he knew he didn’t have enough power to fight the snake. What could a novice mage and an intermediate mage do against the snake? He did not know.
After everyone broke up and ran, Liu Yang and Liu Xia were looking at the snake with a relaxed look. They broke apart and began to stretches.
“Honey, are you ready?” Liu Yang asked. He was stretching his arms and legs. Before the start of the training camp, Liu Yang and Liu Xia found that their physicists had become stronger than before. This was the result of the second part of the double meditation technique.
“Yes. Let’s lure this wild beast to the other side and we will attack, “Liu Xia suggested.
“It’s all right. You will go ahead, I will go right after ”
“Be careful” Liu Xia kissed Liu Yang’s cheek before running to the other side, she didn’t go in the direction where the other members escaped.
“With such a wife, it would be very difficult for me not to be careful.” Liu Yang touched the spot where he was kissed before looking solemnly at the snake.
The snake was looking at Liu Yang as if he were easy prey, it didn’t move until now because it was waiting for the right moment to attack.
Liu Yang raised his arm and green lights came on, he used his magic power.
Several thin needle-sized wind blades appeared.
“Go !!” Liu Yang signaled and the dozens of needles fired like arrows.
Zzzzzzz
Looking at those thin needles, the snake also charged as it made the hissing sounds.
Seeing that the snake finally acted, Liu Yang also started running toward where Liu Xia had gone.
Zzzzzzz… !!!!!
The Verdant Snake roared painfully from the painful wound when the needles pierced the head, although a body was very powerful, having ten needles piercing the same spot was extremely painful, especially at its weak point, a trickle of blood. It started running down the middle of the snake’s forehead. A poisonous look appeared in the snake’s eyes and it began to chase Liu Yang.
Because of its large, heavy body, the ground began to sink a little as the snake slips across the floor.
As a wind mage, Liu Yang’s speed was quite fast, he ran several meters every few seconds, but the snake was no less slow, it also slid at a similar speed.
After a few seconds of running, Liu Yang stopped and turned to look at the snake that had blood running down its forehead.
The snake had already opened its mouth intending to devour Liu Yang. When the snake reached five meters from Liu Yang, something startling happened, a black ball the size of a soccer ball hit the snake’s head.
Boom !!!!!!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!
The blast was quite powerful and the snake felt a great pain in its head, but there was no injury. Its scales were very hardy and the flesh very hard.
Liu Yang only managed to injure the snake because it hit a small point and was ten times in a row at the same spot.
Taking advantage of this chance, Liu Yang used his wind element again.
“Wind Blades !!” Liu Yang shouted internally.
Dozens of needle-sized wind blades were created, Liu Yang concentrated and created the blades like needles. Before, he used elemental control, but this time he will use primary magic, the damage dealt will be dozens of times greater.
Zzzzzzz !!!
Seeing that Liu Yang again conjured the dangerous needles, the snake charged as quickly as possible to attempt to attack Liu Yang. But before that happened, another black sphere hit its head.
Boooom !!!
Zzzzzzz !!!
The snake was a little dizzy from having hit the head so many times, and Liu Yang seized the moment and attacked.
Dozens of needles were fired, one after the other and forming a line of needles.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!!!
The snake wanted to react, but it was too late, the needles started piercing one by one in the same spot that Liu Yang had hit before, as the snake’s scale was broken before, the needles pierced the hard flesh of the snake directly.
This caused great pain in the snake’s head, it began to struggle because of the pain, but also took advantage of this moment to rotate the body and attack with the tail. The snake would not let Liu Yang do what he wanted.
Booom !!!!
The tail hit the ground and caused a big explosion, it showed how heavy the snake was, only the tail already weighed several tons. If a person were hit by the cause, that person would become just folders scattered on the floor.
Liu Yang escaped before the cause reached his location.
Zzzzzzz
Seeing that its opponent had escaped, the snake kept wagging its tail in an attempt to hit Liu Yang, but it was useless. Liu Yang’s running speed was much higher than the tail speed.
Suddenly, the ground under the snake began to crack, the snake began to thrash to try to get out of the place, but it couldn’t, it happened because Liu Xia, who was hiding somewhere, conjured a gravity-increasing spell. As the snake’s body was already very heavy, with increasing gravity, the weight became much larger.
Booom !!!!
Another sphere of energy hit the snake’s head, and it stunned the snake. Its head had been hit more than twenty times if more than ten had penetrated the scales and flesh.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!
The snake let out another painful hiss as ten more needles penetrated its head, Liu Yang attacked the same spot again. He was calculating how much was left to hit the snake’s brain and kill it permanently.
Judging from the snake’s painful reaction, Liu Yang estimated that it was not far away.
The snake realized it could be killed and began to fight desperately. The snake began to circle its body in a circle, its tail was sweeping all around.
The trees were destroyed and the ground became flat, the physical strength of the snake was very large.
The couple knew that the snake was desperate and that this was the worst possible time, they had to finish this fight quickly.
“Honey, we need to finish this as soon as possible !!” Liu Yang shouted urgently.
“Alright” Liu Xia appeared beside Liu Yang and held his hand.
“Let’s get started” The couple concentrated their magical power at the same time, they were using a fusion technique that only those who completely trust each other can use.
“Fusion Magic!!!” The couple shouted at the same time.
The dark glows and the green glows began to fuse and formed lights with both colors combined.
“Piercing Wind !!”
“Corrosion!!!”
Liu Yang and Liu Xia used their intermediate level spells at the same time. Unlike usual magic, combined magic mixed the effects of the two elements.
A spear-sized needle as thin as a needle was created, but around it was a dangerous black light.
“Attack !!!” The couple shouted at the same, they used almost all the magical energy to create this spear.
Shuoooo…
The spear was fired like a rocket. The snake felt danger when it saw the spear and its direction, but a snake could only try to escape, but it was impossible.
A black-light struck its body, and sank again, Liu Xia used her power of gravity again.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!
The snake let out an extremely painful hiss as the spear pierced its head again, the spear was extremely sharp, and it pierced the flesh like paper. Adding to the corrosive power of the darkness, the flesh inside the snake’s head was melting.
The snake began to thrash wildly on the floor, its body was spasming, everything was being destroyed by the weight of its body. But it wasn’t long before the spear pierced the brain and killed the snake.
Booom !!
A small sound of something heavy falling was heard, the snake was finally killed.
From start to finish, Liu Yang and Liu Xia were not injured while fighting the snake, it seemed they had planned it from the beginning.
The Verdant Snake had the same power as a Level 8 Intermediate Mage, but how did two Level 1 Intermediate Mage defeat the Verdant Snake without sustaining a single wound? That was hard to believe if it was spoken by anyone.
