The Demolish This Story
13. The Toxic Dragon's

Ash's arrival makes the situation upside down, Hunter's side back in the lead.

Shut!

Using his main weapon, Ash continues firing arrows with Aaron's instructions.

Although it did not cause any damage, Ash's attack was enough to anger Baladorado.

Baladorado moves to attack Ash.

"[Cover Move]!"

Kevin moved, in an instant his body was in front of Ash. The large shield is raised facing Baladorado.

"Ughhh!!" Kevin's body bounced a little way back.

Kevin didn't coat the mana on his body this time. The long battle made his mana thin, however he had to save in order to last longer.

Aaron took action immediately. Aaron's punch violently hit Baladorado's head,

Taking that chance, Ash immediately moved to take some distance. He again drew an arrow, aiming for Baladorado's sensitive spot.

KHAAAAKH

Baladorado roared furiously. He was a powerful monster, the king of the Serpents.

But how dare they? A little insect toying with him?!

Baladorado's body glowed red, his entire scales as if they were open. A disgusting green liquid shot out from his body and slowly filled the room.

His gigantic body swelled up to become wider. His face became even more terrifying, two huge horns appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that, Aaron immediately took some distance.

"Retreat!'

"All right!!" Following orders from Aaron, Kevin immediately walked away.

He went into one of the narrow passages. Magic crystals were thrown at the entrance, creating a translucent barrier wall.

"Letting the man alone, is that the plan?" Ash asked with a tired face.

All Kevin did was plan Aaron ordered. Even now he was still hesitant, but he could only do so.

He can only pray. This is the only way left to save his daughter.

"Okay, I don't know either." Kevin clenched his hand.

...o0°0o...

"It's harder than I thought."

Baladorado has 3 phases of change.

The first phase is the commonly found Baladorado, a giant snake monster that uses immense physical strength to destroy everything.

The second phase allows Baladorado to use earth-attribute magic, which also enhances attack and defense. Poison can also be slightly used in the second phase.

And the third phase, the most dangerous phase. Baladorado's body evolved completely into a different kind of monster. A Serpent turned into a Dragon.

 『 WARNING!! Boss Dungeon changed from [Baladorado] to [Ekisa] 』

 『 Quest will be updated 』

[Ekisa] The Toxic Dragon. The Dragon Monster with Fire and Poison as its main weapon.

Baladorado is weaker than Queen Taratect. But Baladorado can enter phase 3 or forcibly evolve into Ekisa when he is in danger. This reason is what makes Baladorado get a danger rating at level B.

But the unnatural evolution, in addition to not giving maximum strength also gives side effects to his body. That is why Ekisa sightings are so rare to find.

"Ugh..."

Ekisa's poisonous liquid had already filled the entire room. The green mist that was released was also quite agonizing.

 『 Skill Understanding Rate [Poison Resistance] increased: 75.8% 』

Aaron silently used the poison that the Green Serpent had during the trip to improve the [Poison Resistance] skill.

Thanks to that, the level of skill comprehension increased rapidly to 75%. Yet even at such a high level, Ekisa's poison was still dangerous.

The amount of poison was increasing, and the intensity of the poison was getting higher. Coupled with the fatigue inside the body, Aaron was unsure it would last long.

'I have to finish him off in 5 minutes.'

Aaron pulled out a sword from a bag. A shiny katana was in his hand.

He moved back, running through Ekisa's long body.

The evolution into Ekisa made her scales stand open, making a gap that became a fatal point for her.

"Here!"

Aaron stabbed his sword into Ekisa's red flesh, inflicting considerable damage.

KAAAAHHH

Ekisa groans in pain. He shook his head violently, Aaron immediately jumped dodging.

Ekisa looked at the angry Aaron who was on the ground.

He opened his mouth wide, where it slowly gathered. Fire gushed out, chasing Aaron.

Aaron ran immediately. The red flames also burned Ekisa's poison, making the flames spread everywhere.

Smoke filled the room. Although his sense of sight was impaired, Aaron's hearing could still detect Ekisa's actions.

 『 Skill comprehension [Hearing Reinforcement] increased: 11.65% 』

Hearing the voice coming towards him, Aaron immediately stirred. The Fireball headed towards him, creating an explosion.

The fireball flew back in pursuit. Aaron deftly dodged all attacks.

Seeing that none of the fireballs hit the target, Ekisa launched a different attack. Where it reassembled in its mouth.

Aaron immediately changed his steps towards Ekisa. Recharge Ekisa's skill must have taken some time, making use of it, Aaron must immediately attack him.

Enveloping his legs with mana, Aaron's movements accelerated even more. But as Aaron gets closer to Ekisa–

"...!"

His body suddenly stopped moving. There was nothing blocking him but somehow Aaron lost control over his body.

Looking back, Ekisa's two horns glowed. The [Telekinesis] skill must be in use.

Ekisa slightly chuckled at the confused Aaron. Fire came back out of his mouth, gushing right towards Aaron.

BOOM!!

The resulting explosion was louder than ever before.

The smoke slowly dissipated, but Aaron's body wasn't there.

"See where you are?"

Surprised, Ekisa turned to the source of the voice.

 『 Skill [Acceleration] successfully learned. 』

 『 Skill comprehension level [Acceleration] increased: 10.5℅』

Aaron, who was supposed to be burnt to the ground, was casually standing in the air, just above Ekisa's head.

The sword held in both of his hands seemed to glow blue.

Aaron swung his sword.

A huge Energy slash attacked Ekisa, cutting off both of her horns.

KSHAAAAA!!!!

Ekisa slammed her body around. The horn of Echisa is like the second heart, the gathering place of all. Cutting him would have made him in pain.

Utilizing that, Aaron immediately prepared his second weapon. A small pink knife was removed.

[Dagger of Clown Laugh] a throwing knife-shaped artifact that definitely hit the targeted target.

The knife is directed, the goal is the mouth of Ekisa, a place where there are no scales to protect it. Unnaturally, the knife swerved, entered Ekisa's mouth, then pierced right into the monster's heart.

OH, AAAH!!!

Two important parts of her body were successfully hit by the attack, Ekisa again shouted loudly.

Entire poisons poured out from every part of his body, and a fireball gushed out unguidedly.

Ekisa raged for a while, before finally no longer moving.

 『 Quest : [Be Careful With The Snake] successfully completed. 』

 『 Rewards will be awarded. 』
