Chapter 596: Volume 15: Thunder Shakes the Ground - 14: Super Performance
Countless intense golden electric arcs formed a ring that firmly locked the head of the Komola Python as it tried to hide. It was like placing a dazzling, floating crown atop the python’s head. However, this floating crown suddenly shattered, exploding into numerous irregular golden orbs of light that swiftly pierced into the panicked head of the python.
The powerful thunder-based magic struck the head of the Komola Python without reservation, exploding violently inside. The Komola Python twisted its head in agony, trying to break free from the torturous assault, but how could it escape the immense power of the Hammer of Thor so easily? Golden electric arcs kept condensing into rings of light on the python’s head before bursting again and again. Blood kept gushing from its eyes and mouth, clearly showing that the ferocious strikes from the Hammer of Thor had inflicted serious damage on the Komola Python, a creature that normally feared nothing under the heavens.
Komer had not expected the Komola Python to have such a strong vitality. He had already consecutively used enhanced magic and sustained magic to prolong the duration of the Hammer of Thor, a spell that consumed a vast amount of magic power. But even as the Komola Python rolled and twisted in pain, it still did not die. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped out from Komer’s forehead. At this moment, Komer was in a difficult position; if the strike from the Hammer of Thor did not secure an absolute victory, with the Komola Python’s strong vitality, it could easily absorb Earth Qi and Dark Power to heal and recover its body. By then, it might spell doom for Komer.
Just then, Lome, who was by his side, finally freed up her hands to lend Komer a hand. A recovery spell allowed Komer to catch his breath, enabling him to endure this most difficult moment. Otherwise, Komer would have had to resort to using his Saint Yuan magic power.
When the Hammer of Thor, supported by a formidable magic power, showed its true form for the last time, the massive hammer became extraordinarily clear. Even the various magical patterns on the hammer were visibly sharp, like a root system of light flashing down, striking the head of the staggering Komola Python. Unable to withstand this final, fierce blow, the bloodied python head reared dramatically towards the sky, letting out a piercing, shrill cry that seemed to be warning its allies to avenge it.
The three Dark Fire Skeletons caught the attention of all the companions, including Rebury, the moment they appeared. Many among the group were vaguely aware that this lord from the Caucasus was quite skilled in Dark Magic and had some unique secrets in Puppet Magic. Even the master of Puppet Magic, Mihailovich, looked favorably upon Komer. But when they saw Komer summon three skeleton warriors right away, despite being mentally prepared, they couldn’t help but be taken aback.
The three skeleton warriors almost immediately took up the vacancy left by Shatima’s impulsive charge. The Demon Scorpion’s poison mist attacks were meaningless against the skeleton warriors. What use is poison to beings that do not even possess a life to harm? The skeleton warriors, with their shining curved knives and solid round shields, fulfilled their duties impeccably. They stirred up swirls of black mist, not only charging boldly through the Demon Scorpion Group but also unleashing wave after wave of attacks without restraint.
These three Dark Fire Skeletons were clearly specially trained and refined. Not only were their bodies strengthened through Solidification Magic, but they were also specifically tempered with Fire Magic. Coupled with their innate dark nature, this gave them the strength to fight against Magical Beasts. Their curved knives and round shields were specially crafted by Komer for them. Although they were not products of pure Magic Metal, they were made from high-quality fine iron with added Dark Magic Metal that bore shadowy magic power. These weapons suited the Dark Fire Skeletons’ body characteristics well, maximizing the dark creatures’ dark magical power.
As Komer and Lome successfully killed the second Komola Python, the situation finally stabilized. Rebury’s Fire Magic formed a series of continuous Fire Rings that compressed the Demon Scorpions within. The Demon Scorpions were forced to attempt to break through the Fire Rings, but under Rebury’s powerful magic control, the magic fire rings were manipulated to a near art form. The Demon Scorpions were utterly unable to break through the flames, which grew fiercer by the moment, and could do nothing to avoid being turned into charred segments.
