Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1008: The Storngest Beast

The ground continued to shake in the area of the island where they were. The rumbling had spread wide and nearly affected the whole island. The crew that were on the shore could feel the rumbling, but when looking into the jungle they were unable to see further and deeper within.

As for Lyon and his group of Light faction warriors, they had been spending some time in the darkened green area of the island. Lyon quickly climbed up one of the treeʼs, jumping to the very top.

He had expected to see a spewed volcano, maybe lightning or some sort of attack nearby. Instead, far off in the distance several miles into the island, he could see three large separate- like heads.

They were darkened green in color, and each of the separate heads that floated up had several eyes coming out from them.

”Itʼs a beast...and a giant one at that... for a beast that size to be on an island like this....how old would it have had to be? How many hardships would it have had to have gone through to fight against so many enemies to be able to get to the sheer size that it is now.” The thought of such a beast sent shivers down his spine.

When looking down, Lyon could even see movement through the forest. They were too far away for it to be from the beast, instead they were from several large creatures, around 6 meters in height, of all shapes and sizes.

One with large two yellow heads that were attached to a long neck ran in their direction but completely ignored Lyon and his group of men.

”For the beasts to even be scared and not want to be anywhere close, it looks like I might be right.”

It was at that point that Lyon had decided to make a decision, he jumped down from the tree branch landing on the ground and looked at his men.

”Weʼre heading back to the ships! This island is far more dangerous than we expected, and the beasts donʼt seem to be so terrifying with what is above.” Lyon explained.

”What is above, sir!” A warrior asked.

”We need to trust that the others will deal with the task, and we shall protect the ship to give them safe passage. If we were to head in, then all of us will die.” Lyon explained.

Looking up, there were four individuals that were staring at the neck of the three heads. The large body was away from them, and all of the trees that surrounded them had practically vanished, but they were only starting to realize that it was part of the beastʼs body, or they had grown on top of the soil that was now attached to the beastʼs body.

”The honorable Light faction.” Lince said. ”The man was so honorable I think he allowed us to fight this cute beast all by ourselves!”

Ricar and Beatrix knew Lince was being sarcastic but they couldnʼt really say anything instead they were just stunned by the sheer size of what was in front of them. Now they knew why the man had suddenly allowed them to go first.

It was at that point that the three heads turned and looked down at those on the ground. Straight away, fighting from other parts of its body were several large vines that were on the side, and then, all three mouths opened wide, and a yellow energy was forming inside of them.

Moments later a beam struck out from the mouth aiming toward the group of four. Naturally, Lince and Zon had jumped in one direction, while Beatrix and Ricar ran the other way.

The large beams of energy were following them, as they were moving forward they were doing so in such a way so they could run towards the beastʼs body, and go for an attack. One had turned to look at the destruction of the beams to try and gauge how powerful of an attack could be made.

But the strangest thing was he could see that no harm was done to the ground or the grass that was still intact at all.

ʼWill we be okay if that hits us?ʼ

Two beams were going towards Lince and Zon since there were three heads in total, and deciding to risk it he ran in another direction and then stopped holding out his hand. He waited for the beam to continue to follow him and eventually it touched his outer skin.

In moments the black suit of his started to act strange, it didnʼt hurt nor did it feel like it was getting destroyed. He quickly pulled his hand out, and started to move away and noticed that grass was growing on the outside.

Parts of his black suit were green, and he could feel a throbbing pain on the inside of his body. He used his system to deactivate part of the suit, breaking down nano parts, and he could see that it looked almost like grass was growing out of his skin.

They had lodged deep inside, and blood was dripping from his arm. Thankfully though, Zon could also tell his system was healing and the grass was falling off. It was slow process compared to usual but still a process.

ʼThis beam attack is certainly strange, if it wasnʼt for the nanobots in my skin, then Iʼm not sure how easy it would be to recover from something like this. If the others get hit it might be the end for them.ʼ

Lince no longer had either dagger in his hand, but with his wraps he was able to twist them around his whole hand in a pointed shape, and used his Qi outside to make it just as sharp as a

weapon.

Of course a strong powerful weapon would be even more helpful for him, but he was doing the best that he could in this situation.

ʼDo I attack its head and try to slice it off? Or do I go for its body to see just how hard doing something like that would be?ʼ Lince thought.

Yet he soon noticed several things moving across the ground, and eventually through the air.

A green object came at him like a whip, and Lince had reacted slicing it apart with his hand and

cutting it.

The sharp sounds continued to be heard and Lince had a clear picture of just what was attacking him. From the skin of the beast several large long and thick vines nearly the size of oneʼs wrist were being flung at him in every direction.

They were just as fast as an advanced middle stage warrior, so Lince had to stop his advancement, as he focused and attacked the several vines coming towards him, but he also noticed the beam of energy coming his way.

He continued to move attacking several more getting close to the body, until those on the ground had wrapped around his legs and fought him in the air. Instantly several more vines came lashing out rather than attacking him they wrapped around his thighs and then around his arms and held him up in the air.

There was no chance for Lince to beat the beastʼs vines just with his strength, the vines werenʼt even part of the real body of the beast and this was starting to worry him. With his arms tied up, he was unable to cut the vines as well.

”This isnʼt good, the beam of energy is coming towards me...maybe I should have stayed back and let one of the others attack first...I just thought, this island and Belil has made me crazy.” Lince was starting to wonder if these would be his last thoughts.

Before he knew it though, he saw a red beam of energy slash above, cutting the vines from above and Zon slid in front of him, Zon turned around and used both of his hands to fire out red lasers shooting at the bottom vines.

It had freed Lince, who quickly moved from where he was and went to Zon and swung his arms in the air cutting several vines that were already, ready to attack him from the back.

”Donʼt let that beam of energy hit you no matter what.” Zon said.

With everything that was happening, and how the enemy was attacking them, Zon thought that it would have been a good opportunity to use the item he had received from the Delter. In this situation he could have teleported himself right to the beastʼs head and finish it off.

”Thatʼs what I was trying to do.” Lince said.

The beam of energy then stopped going towards them, and instead had gone over the several vines that had been cut up, and as it did, the vines started to regrow connecting to each other

and were on the move again.

”This is not going to be easy.” Zon claimed.

Sorry for lack of updated Chapters. I am currently away for 5 days at a ReadNovelFull Event.

I have made this chapter slightly longer to make up for it, but will get back on track soon!
