Chapter 50 Muddy Forest Swamp (2)
Chapter 50 Muddy Forest Swamp (2)
"Get ready! I'll leave this one to you!"
Hearing his words, Hajin immediately snapped out of his daze and turned to look beside him. However, Elias had already disappeared from his sight.
On the top of a nearby tree, Elias calmly sat while leaning on the trunk in a relaxed manner.
Seeing him acting relaxed, Hajin couldn't help but feel a tinge of rage erupt within him.
'This guy…!'
However, it was useless—he buried the rage for another time, as there were far more important things in front of them.
While he was thinking that, the massive crocodile immediately moved before it ferociously roared!
"ROAR!"
"Goddammit! You owe me for this, cousin Elias!"
Helpless, Hajin fumed in rage before taking out his black stick. However, he didn't attack right from the get-go.
Rather, he did something completely unexpected.
"Hm, what is this guy doing… wait,"
On top of one of the trees, Elias muttered to himself before his eyes widened in surprise.
"This guy is quite a character…!"
Below him, Hajin was removing his jacket and clothes until only a simple underwear was left. He threw the clothes to Elias.
"Catch this! You better make sure that my clothes don't get wet!"
"Alright."
Elias nodded and promptly caught the clothes. He looked at the sight below him and was slightly amused.
However, while doing so, he pointed Slaughterer toward the massive crocodile running through the swamps. He inserted mana and reloaded the gun with ammunition.
Kachak!
Elias held the gun and pressed the trigger!
Bang!
In front of him, a black bullet shot through the air—Dark Restriction Bullet—a bullet that can slow the target's movements.
"Lucky,"
Elias whistled with a smile. Although Slaughterer was powerful, it was not perfect. The bullets that shot out were completely dependent on luck.
Woosh!
The massive crocodile didn't expect the sudden gunshot and couldn't dodge in time. However, the Dark Restriction Bullet was deflected by its hardened scales, unable to pierce through!
TNG!
Seeing the result, the massive crocodile grunted before its expression immediately changed.
Upon contact, the Dark Restriction Bullet suddenly exploded and a dark fog erupted, invading the body of the massive crocodile.
Elias retracted his arm and smiled.
"I'll help you since you look like you can't beat it,"
"Dammit, it's your fault in the first place!"
Hajin didn't know what Elias did, but he could only hope that it was good. After taking out his clothes, he pressed the black stick, turning it into a large staff.
Without slowing down, Hajin immediately dashed towards the massive crocodile!
'Aiya, I'm really in a bad mood today…! After this crocodile, I'll teach that cousin of mine a lesson...'
Much to his added irritation, the massive crocodile suddenly roared more loudly, making his ears shiver.
"ROAR!"
Perhaps it was the primal instinct within him, or his cumulative anger erupting all at once, Hajin fought back a roar on his own.
"UWOAAHHH…! FUCK YOU TOO..!"
While running, Hajin roared back at the massive crocodile. While running, he made sure to step on the floating rocks and trunks on the swamp!
After reaching the massive crocodile, Hajin's eyes flashed a blue color. He didn't hold anymore and used his full power!
On the tip of the plain black staff, a spark of lightning seemed to erupt—it continued until the entire staff was covered with sparks of lightning.
Hajin was a Combat Mage!
The Sanchez family was a well-renowned noble family, they were feared for two things; their mastery over weapons and their terrifying magical affinity of lightning!
At this moment, Hajin was fully displaying his true abilities!
Hajin's eyes were bloodshot as he roared.
"HAAA! You shitty reptile, get ready to die!"
***
While Hajin was fighting the massive crocodile below the swamp, Elias' relaxed eyes suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
He suddenly picked up Slaughterer and pointed it towards his left, aiming at an unexpected and unlikely figure.
Kachak!
"Oh, you caught me, haha. I suppose my divine concealment is nothing but a farce against a devil, isn't it?"
On his left, a white-haired woman sat on another tree branch, chuckling cutely. She had a divine presence around her.
She had long, ethereal white hair and innocent pure blue eyes. Her divine presence seemed to emit an air of soft kindness, making her appear otherworldly.
While Slaughterer pointed at her, she was totally unfazed.
"Saintess, what are you doing here?"
Elias asked calmly but didn't turn around. He already guessed who the other person was with a glance.
"Would you believe in me if I said this meeting is a mere coincidence?"
The Saintess smiled calmly.
Instead, Elias tightened his hold on Slaughterer more and slightly caressed the trigger of the gun, displaying his intent to shoot.
"I don't know, but your presence is unwelcome here, Celestia Lilinia. Leave from my sight."
"Not so friendly, are we?"
The Saintess—Celestia Lilinia—simply sighed and shook her head. However, she didn't leave but instead watched the fight below.
Below was an interesting sight, an almost naked dark blue-haired man fighting against a massive crocodile.
Their battle made the swamp waters rage, the air bow harshly, and surrounding obstacles implode into pieces.
Seeing the scene, Celestia was amused.
"Why are you not helping your friend over there?"
However, Elias didn't reply to her and instead thought of her character in the novel.
Why was he so wary and defensive of her?
Celestia Lilinia—in simple terms—was crazy. She was a pathological liar and a sadist, finding enjoyment in the misery of other people.
Even with his high tolerance towards evil, the Saintess was one of the characters he didn't want to be acquainted with.
She was a ticking time bomb, ready to implode at any moment. Regarding her appearance, Elias already had a faint guess why she was there.
Every generation's Saintess was granted the ability to sense sinful people near them. He was faintly sure that this ability was what brought her to him.
While he was thinking that, Celestia off-handedly asked.
"I wonder what you did to have such heavy sins? Even the demons locked up in God's Acre didn't have such sins as yourself."
"I wonder that myself."
Elias answered casually. Internally, he was sighing. Now that Celestia caught him under her radar, it was going to be troublesome to deal with her.
Unlike the previous generation Saintess, Celestia was raised and taught by a strange and odd pope that instilled unorthodox teachings towards her.
Ordinarily, the Saintess was a kind, soft-hearted and gentle individual… but Celestia was an anomaly among the others.
Instead of the eradication and conversion of evil, Celestia pursued the truth of evil.
While he was thinking that, Celestia moved her fingers.
Bang!
Elias didn't hesitate to press the trigger at all, causing a red bullet—Lethality—to shoot out of Slaughterer.
