Chapter 723: Taotie Conclusion
『I’ll end this now, taotie!』
Right now, the taotie has its posture broken with its foreleg captured by the ice of [Cocytus].
Against the taotie with its baseline stats raised with [Flames of Antipathy], it isn’t wise to draw the battle out. I might have my HP depleted at once with a single misstep. I’ll end it right now when its guard is open!
However, [Flames of Antipathy] is boosting the taotie’s defence, making it much tougher. A weak attack will be immediately answered with a heavy counter… So then I only have one option.
“GuuOOOOOOOh!”
Planting my rear leg firmly into the ground, I use all my strength to ram an uppercut into its chest.
“OGOOOh!”
The taotie screams. Its claw that was trapped in the [Cocytus] ice wall shatters into fragments of frozen flesh.
No matter how tough it’s gotten, it looks like it can’t defend against being punched into the air. Much less so with its forelimb stuck in ice.
