Chapter 149 - 137: The Corpse Dragon on the Mountain Peak
Chapter 149: Chapter 137: The Corpse Dragon on the Mountain PeakThe roar came, and at the mountain path ahead that had to be traversed, a brawny little giant with rocks all over his body approached with a "thud, thud" of the ground shaking.
He looked like a baboon, with sharp teeth and long hair, his disheveled mane binding the rocks into an armor of stone.
Lind did not recognize this creature, but the aura of an Upper-Rank Calamity emanating from it could not be faked.
Not only that, but there was also a group of smaller baboons, about half the height of a person, holding some kind of red berries, jumping around.
The monster noticed Lind, and with its long arms like a monkey’s, supporting itself on the ground, it charged at Lind briskly. The thunderous noise mixed with a Gale that couldn’t be ignored. Lind pointed his Longsword overhead, its blade bursting with light, and he yanked himself up into the sky, narrowly avoiding the giant baboon’s deadly pounce.
But the opponent’s agility was somewhat beyond imagination; it suddenly reached upward, trying to grab Lind. Its massive palm spread open like a large shield, capable of covering one-third of Lind’s body, while its five fingers shot out like spears.
The Armor failed to block the deadly puncture of the spears and easily penetrated the protection, stabbing into Lind’s chest.
Blood immediately spurted out, Lind choked on blood, turned his sword backward, and, leveraging the strength from the sword’s body, he tore away from the grip of the "spear," avoiding the fate of being pinned to the ground.
Blood sprayed out like a fountain.
The blood loss accelerated Lind’s heartbeat, but his mind was very rational.
As he was on the brink of death, his body instead erupted with even greater strength. Shielding himself as he charged forward, dodging to the side, Lind successfully got behind the Upper-Rank Calamity and stabbed upward with his blade.
"Gagahuhu!" The urgent baboon-like screaming came from afar as the group of shorter baboons squeezed their red berries. The dark red juice began to flash intensely under their fingers before they hurled them toward Lind.
Lind had already leaped into the air, unable to dodge, only to watch the berries smash against himself and the Upper-Rank Calamity, immediately followed by.
Boom—!
Flames erupted.
The Upper-Rank Calamity, distracted by the flames, paused for a moment and tried to turn and roar at the small baboons, only to find that the flames started by the explosive berries were pierced by a sword.
Lind, with both hands gripping the hilt, burst through the flames and pounced, his blade successfully penetrating the opponent’s left eye.
He hung from the head of the Calamity.
Pain drove the Upper-Rank Calamity mad, causing it to completely lose its reason. It reached out to grab Lind, intending to tear him apart, but Lind, showing no sign of injury, skillfully released the sword and made a steep drop, narrowly dodging the Calamity’s swiping claws.
The sound of his feet smashing into the ground was absurdly loud; unaware viewers might think Lind was a solid iron block forged entirely from molten iron.
Though fire’s power was gone, the Melting Furnace Crest still pulsed on his chest, preventing the flames from harming Lind and even directly healing his grievous wounds.
Grasping his shield with both hands, he lunged forward. The Upper-Rank Calamity’s body swayed, but the force that reflected back also made Lind’s body somewhat overwhelmed. The gap in ranks was too apparent, and the opponent, obviously relying entirely on physical strength, could not be matched in that regard.
Letting go of the shield and leaping up again, Lind grabbed onto the Calamity’s arm. The continuous blasts of fire from behind provided strong assistance to Lind. The fire not only helped Lind recover quickly but also blinded the sight of the Upper-Rank monster, which only had one eye left.
However, injury meant madness. The opponent shook its body fiercely, and several times Lind was left hanging in midair, holding onto the creature’s long hair to avoid being thrown off.
It was like clinging to the edge of a precipice; if his fingers weakened and let go, all that awaited him was an Abyss.
The burst of the flaming berries ignited Lind’s rage. He had no "Clore’s Fury," but he had his own fury. His body marshaled its strength; if he couldn’t kill the opponent here, he would be killed. Lind hated making these kind of binary choices.
Clearly, he could not die here, nor did he plan to.
