The Goblin’s Leveling System! - Chapter 128

Axel’s PoV:

I went towards the level 45,000 double-headed python and signaled it to follow me.

I headed towards the end of the protective array and opened an entrance in the protective array.

I entered the entrance in the protective array and the double-headed python followed suit.

After I got out of the protective array, I closed the entrance to the protective array to prevent any attacks from entering inside it that might potentially harm my teammates and the junior heroes.

The level 45,000 fire lion emperor had not noticed both the level 45,000 double-headed python and me since I helped the double-headed python to conceal its mana and presence using my magic skills.

“Remember, the fire lion emperor isn’t superior in terms of attack stat so don’t be afraid to deal with its attack head-on.”

“The fire lion emperor’s forte is speed and defense so focus on impeding the movement of the fire lion emperor by either attack the ground or something like that.”

I reminded the level 45,000 double-headed python about the strength and skills of the fire lion emperor.

After all, every bit of information even if it was little could be considered as an important asset before a battle would start.

The double-headed python nodded both of its two heads towards me and I signaled it to confront the fire lion emperor.

I released the magic I had used to conceal the double-headed python on itself except for me so I was still concealed.

Despite canceling the concealment spell on the double-headed python, the fire lion emperor was yet to find out where the double-headed python was located at.

The double-headed python decided not to confront the fire lion emperor head-on but instead, it lurked behind the fire lion emperor.

The double-headed python planned on launching a sneak attack against the fire lion emperor.

The double-headed python opened its mouth which revealed two sharp and long fangs which were coated in lethal and potent venom.

The double-headed python launched a bite attack on the fire lion emperor’s neck but the fire lion emperor was fast enough to evade the attack of the double-headed python.

The good news was that the double-headed python’s fangs were able to graze the skin of the fire lion emperor so some of the venoms on the double-headed python’s fangs invaded the body of the fire lion emperor.

Although the fire lion emperor’s movement was still fast so it looked like it hadn’t been poisoned, there was still some venom inside its body that would harm the fire lion emperor but it would need a few minutes before the venom would harm the fire lion emperor.

The double-headed python was smart and decisive which was a good trait to have considering the fire lion emperor was much stronger than the double-headed python.

I might reconsider taking the double-headed python as my slave instead of a disposal slave if it was able to live against its battle with the fire lion emperor.

Since the fire lion emperor had discovered the existence of an enemy that was at the same level as its level, it remained vigilant and waited for the double-headed python to attack first.

The double-headed python knew the fire lion emperor’s intention so it didn’t attack the fire lion emperor but instead waited for the fire lion emperor to attack.

Several seconds had passed and yet the two of the level 45,000 weren’t attacking each other but instead, holding a staring contest against each other.

Since none of them decided to attack each other, then I might as well lend the double-headed python a hand so that it would be able to force the fire lion emperor to make a move.

I channeled my mana into my palms and released a stream of water from my palms.

I aimed the stream of water into the fire lion emperor but it noticed my attack in time so it was able to dodge it.

The fire lion emperor kept on switching its gazes from the double-headed python and me since it remained attentive and waited for the double-headed python and me to attack each other.

Since the double-headed python and I were allies, to begin with, the waiting of the fire lion emperor was futile.

I signaled the double-headed python to launch a poison attack against the fire lion emperor so it did what I had commanded it to do.

After the double-headed python executed its poison attack, I took the liberty to use my speed to appear in front of the fire lion emperor since the fire lion emperor was focused on dodging the double-headed python’s poison attack.

The fire lion emperor was caught off guard by my advancement so it didn’t have the time to escape within my attack range.

After I was in front of the fire lion emperor, I used my mana to cast a water magic spell.

The water magic spell that I had cast was a water sphere that trapped both the fire lion emperor and me inside.

I had used high-pressurized water in casting the water magic spell so it was almost impossible to get out of the water sphere without getting any damage.

The fire lion emperor looked at me as if I was an idiot that failed my magic spell since I had included myself inside the water sphere.

But the fire lion emperor didn’t know that I intended to trap myself inside the water sphere with it in the first place since I had come up with a plan that would be able to defeat it.

Since I was inside the water sphere, it was much easier to control the water in the water sphere while I was inside it.

I formed water drills and spikes and used them to launch an attack against the fire lion emperor.

The fire lion emperor had no place to dodge my attack so it was left with no choice but to defend my attack head-on.

The fire lion emperor used the flame in its body to protect itself from the water drills and spikes that I had used to attack against it.

After my water attacks evaporated due to the high temperature of the fire lion emperor’s flames, the fire lion emperor retaliated by manipulating the flame in its body to create projectiles and launch it towards me.

I controlled the water in the water sphere to block the attack of the fire lion emperor in time before it could burn a part of my body.

I was fortunate enough to have fast reflexes and excelled in the field of magic which enabled me to defend against the attack of a monster that was several thousand higher than my level.

I had noticed that I developed a habit of challenging opponents that were several levels higher than mine.

As I was reminiscing about my habits, the fire lion emperor pounced itself towards me which I was able to dodge by dashing sideways.

After I had made sure that the fire lion emperor was a few meters away from me, I went out of the water sphere and trapped the fire lion emperor inside the water sphere.

That was my plan all along. It was to both trap the fire lion emperor and discover the extent of its abilities.

I was rather disappointed that the fire lion emperor’s power was strong but lack some actual skills in combat.

The fire lion emperor seemed to be the type who only used his strength to defeat another enemy which was entirely different from the fighting style of the double-headed python.

The double-headed python mainly relied on its decisive planning and used its intelligence to its advantage.

I focused on the battle at hand and witnessed the fire lion emperor’s meaningless struggle as it tried to break out of the water sphere.

The fire lion emperor burst out numerous flames out of its body which is used to attack the water sphere.

After several seconds of the fire lion emperor attacking the inside of the water sphere using fire magic, the fire lion emperor was experiencing difficulty in breathing.

As I had expected, even if the monsters in this world were intelligent, they couldn’t match the intelligence of a human being from another world.

One of the reasons why I trapped the fire lion emperor inside the water sphere was so that it would suffocate because of a lack of oxygen.

Since fire would devour oxygen to survive, every time the fire lion emperor used fire magic, the fire lion emperor was cutting its supply of oxygen inside the water sphere.

If the fire lion emperor hadn’t done so, it would have lasted for several minutes before it would die because of the loss of oxygen.

It would only be a matter of time that the fire lion emperor would die.

Unless the fire lion emperor knew how to perform hydrolysis so that hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms would be separated, there wouldn’t be any more sources of oxygen inside the water sphere.

I waited for the fire lion emperor to be at death’s door before I planned on soliciting the fire lion emperor to be my mount.
