Chapter 102 Retreat

The black-scaled python was slowed down by the frost spell and could no longer twist its body at high speed, so it could only open its mouth to bite Marcus.

Vales seized the opportunity and unleashed another thunderous arrow infused with his fighting spirit!
The glass arrowhead, like a black lightning bolt, shot directly into the giant python's wide-open mouth, piercing through its relatively soft upper jaw.

"Roar... Boom!!!"

The python's hissing stopped abruptly, and a violent explosion occurred inside its mouth!

After the lightning battle aura penetrated deep into the body of the black-scaled giant python, it began to unleash its astonishing destructive power.

The black-scaled python was blasted and shook its head violently.

A shockwave mixed with blood, broken teeth, and bits of flesh erupted from its mouth and nostrils!

Excruciating pain... unprecedented pain!
Vales's precise shot drove the Blackscale Python into a frenzy.

It let out a shrill cry, and its incredibly powerful muscles contracted wildly, actually crushing all the ice on its body surface!
After breaking free of its restraints, the black-scaled python unleashed all its fury on the man who stood in its way.

Its powerful tail rose up, sweeping towards Marcus with immense force!

"Drink!"

Marcus unleashed all his fighting spirit without reservation, and a thick white shield enveloped his body, including the shield itself!

"clang!!!"

The force of the blow was considerable. Even with Marcus's intermediate-level combat aura shield, he felt dizzy and was thrown off balance.

He shook his head, preparing to rouse himself and continue to attract the attention of the black-scaled python, when Zellir's roar came from behind him.

"Marcus! Get out of the way!"

Marcus didn't hesitate at all. He had complete trust in Zellir, and upon hearing those words, he jumped aside without a second thought.

There was nothing left to hinder Zelier. He faced the black-scaled giant python directly and then slashed horizontally with the condensed water blade!
Cutting Water!

"Whoosh... Zzzzzzz!"

To Zelil's surprise, the water that could slice through giant rocks failed to cut through the python's scales immediately upon contact!

A piercing metallic cutting sound rang out, and a burst of blue light erupted between the water blade and the scales, resulting in a stalemate.

The black-scaled python tried to bite Zeril again, but Vales immediately fired a Thunder Arrow, deflecting its head and buying it some time.

Seeing this, Zellir did not hesitate to increase his magic output.

The blue light of the water blade grew even brighter, and the immense magical power compressed, further enhancing its cutting power!
Finally, after a two-second standoff,

"Crack!"

A flash of light, and the black-scaled python's scales reached their limit and shattered!

The cutting water demonstrated its astonishing ability to overcome obstacles, cleaving the black-scaled giant python in two!

The two enormous snake bodies separated in mid-air, and blood and internal organs poured down like a torrential rain, staining the entire pool red!

Gray ducked to avoid the serpent's tail lash, and glanced at the main battlefield with a look of delight.

"Pretty!"

Even so, the black-scaled python's tenacious vitality sustained it in its final counterattack.

Its upper and lower body were still twitching and writhing in the pool of water; it was not completely dead.

Let's send it on its way!

Marcus roared and leaped into the air, smashing the sharp edge of his shield down on the snake's head.

"Thump!" Using the momentum of its fall, the blow landed squarely on the black-scaled python, stopping its frantically convulsing body.

Vales switched back to ordinary arrows, unleashing a barrage of thunderous arrows that blasted the black-scaled python's head into a bloody mess.

On the other side, Zellir was dealing with the snake's tail, which was now only driven by instinct, all by himself.

The cutting water was activated again, and with several swirling cuts, it was divided into several sections, finally rendering it motionless.

After finishing, Zellir seized the opportunity to conjure an arcane missile and blast it onto the mangled snake head.

"boom!!!"

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As the magic dissipated, the life force of the black-scaled python was completely extinguished, and it crashed heavily into the pool.

Black-scaled giant python, killed successfully!

In the other two locations, the situation on the flanks was equally intense. Faced with the ferocious anacondas disturbed during their breeding season, Gak displayed an even more ferocious nature.

He gripped his broad axe and charged through the swarm of pythons.

"Roar!"

Gak's muscular arms suddenly exerted force, and his broad axe, accompanied by a whistling sound as it tore through the air, slammed down hard on the head of a water python that was opening its mouth to bite!
With a "plop," he forcefully split the hard snake's head, along with its lower jaw, in half!
Another anaconda slithered in from the side, trying to wrap itself around his legs.

But Gak didn't dodge or avoid it; instead, he raised his big foot, clad in rain boots, and stomped down hard.

The immense force crushed the python's spine, causing it to crack and become paralyzed on the spot!

Gray, using his agile movements, swayed left and right, taking the opportunity to kill enemies.

A anaconda suddenly leaped out of the muddy water and bit at his side, but Gray seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, nimbly twisting his body to the side and avoiding the bite.

Then, in the instant the two passed each other, Gray thrust his longsword forward with lightning speed, delivering a backhand thrust!
The sharp blade pierced the anaconda's relatively vulnerable heart. One fatal blow!
The python's movements suddenly froze, then it collapsed limply, twitching futilely in the mud.

Gray used his speed advantage to weave through the snakes, and every time he struck with his sword, a spray of blood would inevitably follow.

Several arrows imbued with fighting spirit struck, blasting apart the water serpent that was still entangled with Gakgray.

After dealing with the Black Scale Python, Vales was able to spare some time to provide support.

Zellir followed closely behind with his Wind Blade spell, taking down several water serpents.

Having lost the Black Scaled Python, which was the core of their breeding, and with the astonishing fighting power displayed by these humans...

The surviving male pythons finally realized that continuing the fight would only lead to their deaths and was pointless.

"hiss……"

A anaconda closest to Gak let out an uneasy hiss.

It stopped moving forward and began to slowly retreat, its body gradually sinking into the murky mud.

This action acted as a signal, spreading throughout the entire snake swarm.

"Swish..."

All the surviving male anacondas lost all will to fight. They twisted their massive bodies and scrambled to escape deeper into the swamp.

Its body, covered in black scales, left ripples in the murky mud.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the once menacing swarm of water serpents vanished without a trace, leaving only a string of bubbles on the surface of the water that were gradually bursting.
