Chapter 102: Guillotine
King Scorpion was proving itself worthy of the Demon Rank. Not only did it possess seemingly endless vitality, but its strength and speed defied the limitations of its size. Those qualities weren’t very rare among Madness-driven beasts, but when combined with its Abilities, the Demon became a much greater threat.
High-speed regeneration that reversed whatever damage dealt to it, corrosive poison that could melt through almost anything, and perhaps the worst of them all, a form of hydrokinesis.
The Demon itself seemed immune to the effects of its poison so remaining within within the toxic swamp was the best strategy at its disposal. The problem was that the three puny humans fighting it stayed out of reach.
The Madness clouding its judgment demanded that it go after them directly. It curled up and wrapped its segmented tail around itself. The arrows launched at it from above had no effect when it was like this.
Currants ran through the toxic swamp and turned it into a massive whirlpool in a matter of seconds. The curled-up Kind Scorpion was at its center and the purple liquid seemed to condense right under it.
BAM!!!
A sudden eruption launched the purple sphere into the air. It was aimed at the human who was deemed to be the most dangerous.
King Scorpion unwrapped itself and was about to attack, but the moment it did, a giant broad sword came swinging down at it. Guarding against it, the Demon launched its tail at the human.
With how large it was the tip of the bulbous stinger would have crushed the human instead of piercing it, but that wasn’t the Demon’s aim. All it did was bring it close enough to ensure its target wouldn’t be able to evade the jet of poison that burst out like a beam.
