Monarch Of Time

Chapter 78 - 78 Absorbing the vine

The silver page seemed as if it had automatically found its target, as it headed towards the rocʼs spine.

As soon as it touched the roc though, it didnʼt pierce a hole in its body like Shun Long had expected. Instead, it looked as if this silver-white page had turned into something intangible after leaving Shun Longʼs hand, as it buried itself deep within the silver winged rocʼs body.

SCREECH

The roc cried out in agony after that silver-white page had entered its body. Letting out cries of indescribable pain it didnʼt have any strength to keep attacking little Black as it immediately collapsed to the ground.

The black dragon, whose body had suffered terribly after the rocʼs onslaught, was still lying on the ground as well, when he saw Shun Long approaching him. Little Black tried to stand up but the wounds he had suffered were just too heavy.

Shun Long patted the dragonʼs head while his eyes had started to redden seeing the condition he was in after fighting the roc.

Cuts were present all over his body, while blood was flowing from his mouth. Shun Long was also certain that even some of his internal organs were damaged, before he sent little Black inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

After handing a purple fruit with red lines on it to little Black, along with 2 pieces of ʼblood lotusʼ, Shun Long said

ʼʼDirectly eat this rank 2 ʼpurple fire fruitʼ as well as these 2 pieces of ʼblood lotusʼ. They will stop your injuries, while I will make sure to refine a pill for you in a bit.ʼʼ

Shun Long had picked this rank 2 ʼpurple fire fruitʼ from the lush forest earlier along with a dozen more rank 2 medicinal herbs.

He had also gathered the seeds from every fruit that he had obtained so far including the rank 3 ʼProfound earth fruitʼ, and had planted them all inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ. Although they hadnʼt m.a.t.u.r.ed yet as Shun Long hadnʼt found the time to enhance their growth speed, it was only a matter of time until they did.

Little Black seemed to be smiling as he instantly swallowed the ʼpurple fire fruitʼ as well as the pieces of the rank 2 ʼblood lotusʼ.

Although his strength was enough to match a middle rank 4 magic beast and rank 2 medicinal herbs shouldnʼt be of much use to him, the ʼpurple fire fruitʼs effects when combined with the ʼblood lotusʼ were enough to stop his injuries until Shun Long refined a medicinal pill for him.

Half an hour later, the rocʼs cries had started to weaken as its struggle started to lessen.

At the same time, Shun Long could feel that his connection with the silver-white page was becoming thinner by the second, and after an hour, at the same time as the roc stopped moving the silver-white page had completely disintegrated inside its body.

From the first time that this silver page had appeared inside his spiritual space, back in the ʼAlchemistʼs Guildʼ, Shun Long had instantly understood its use. It was a killing weapon that was meant to save his life once.

The 9m(30ft) rocʼs body was now sprawled on the ground. Its red eyes that were still open had now completely lost their l.u.s.ter as its body didnʼt have the slightest trace of life in it anymore.

Seeing the dead silver winged roc in front of him, Shun Long touched its body without hesitation as he put it inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ. Then he completely turned his attention to the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ that was buried at the heart of the mountain.

The biggest challenge was about to start now.

The moment that Shun Long removed the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ from the central mountain, he expected pandemonium to take place in the central region.

As soon as the magic beasts here noticed the absence of the ʼsilver winged rocʼ as well as the disappearance of the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ, all of them would definitely rush to the central mountain.

And now that little Black was hurt and couldnʼt fly, if even a middle rank 2 magic beast noticed Shun Long, he would be in danger.

Hearing Shun Long mumbling to himself, little Black nodded his head as he agreed with him

ʼʼThatʼs right master, the magic beasts here have taken enough advantage of this ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ. Iʼm actually curious as to how no high-level expert has noticed this place yet.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head at little Blackʼs words as he moved his hand towards the huge vine.

As his hand came in contact with the green body of the vine, Shun Long felt an immense repelling force the moment he tried to put the vine inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ. After all, although the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ wasnʼt alive, it had its own spirit and understood that Shun Long was trying to store it inside a spiritual space.

The ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ burst forth with a blindingly bright green light that forced Shun Long to close his eyes.

However, just as the vineʼs spirit started to resist, the ʼStone of Timeʼ also reacted, as it emitted an even stronger blue light that completely suppressed the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ.

The 10m(33ft) vine was instantly absorbed inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, but before Shun Long had any time to rejoice and check his spoils, little Blackʼs voice sounded inside his head as he said

ʼʼMaster, I can sense a lot of magic beasts moving from the forest on our east, and they are all coming towards our directionʼʼ
