I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

Chapter 51 Muddy Swamp Forest (3)

Bang!

The red bullet—Lethality—reinforced with flaming vestiges of destruction shot like a meteor towards the white-haired saintess.

Celestia smiled and muttered under her breath. A barrier of holy light bathed her figure, keeping her safe.

[God's Protection]—!

Upon contact, Lethality abruptly stopped at the surface of the barrier. With a loud bang, the red bullet exploded into armageddon flames as the holy shield turned into an apocalyptic mess, ravaged.

Crack—!

Seeing that, Celestia smiled in interest.

Seeing that Lethality broke the barrier, Elias once more indifferently pressed the trigger and shot twice in a row.

Bang! Bang!

Following the gunshots, two kinds of bullets shot out. A blue bullet and a yellow bullet—Verglas and Sanction.

Celestia was still calm and unfazed. She softly chanted under her breath, making another barrier of holy light cover her body.

Bam!

When Verglas reached the barrier, it didn't make a dent in the surface. However, the barrier suddenly displayed signs of frost, freezing the surface of the holy light.

Following the frost bullet, Sanction blitzed toward the surface of the barrier. With a click, the yellow bullet exploded—turning into a barrage of lightning as though divine punishment.

The frosted surface was barraged by violent lightning, causing fractures and ruptures on the sturdy barrier of holy light.

Crack—!

While her barrier was on the brink of collapse, Celestia calmly closed her eyes and muttered under her breath once more.

At that moment, Elias suddenly appeared above her head.

Celestia's expression was unchanged and continued chanting under her breath. Above her head, Elias raised his leg and landed a kick, shattering the barrier of holy light!

The barrier of holy light shattered into pieces.

At that moment, Celestia opened her eyes. A transcendental, giant hand made of light suddenly manifested above her.

Seeing the golden hand, Elias frowned but couldn't do anything.

Bam!

His reinforced kick and the massive hand clashed against each other, making the wind burst into a whirlwind.

Woosh!

On the air, Elias looked down and gazed at Celestia indifferently.

Celestia stared back with a soft and creepy smile, unfazed.

Woosh!

Like a blur, Elias vanished from his position and reappeared at the tree branch he was sitting at earlier.

Celestia nodded. She waved her hands and made the golden hand disappear.

That short exchange was witnessed by no one. After that, both of them turned quiet and watched the battle below.

***

"RAAAAAAA!"

Hajin screamed, filled with battle intent and impotent fury. His two hands holding onto the black staff have never been tightly clenched until this moment.

Without regard to his mana reserves, he reinforced his black staff and activated multiple skills at once with great power.

"GRAAAAA!"

Similarly, the massive crocodile didn't back down and roared. Its roar made the water rage, inducing high tides behind him.

The high tides towered over Hajin, tall and unfathomable, they were like monsters with an insatiable desire to devour.

Unflinching, Hajin maneuvered his staff of violet lightning. He bashed it onto the swamp lands loudly, making the battlefield a land of lightning.

Crackle!

The yellow lightning expanded on the swampy waters, reaching the massive crocodile floating on the surface.

The massive crocodile, unable to react, felt the violent lightning connect through him and made him flinch.

That slight distraction made it lose control of the waters, making the high tides suddenly fall apart and pour on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Hajin raised the staff of violent lightning and strongly bashed it on the massive crocodile's head!

[Sanchez Blade: Mountain Fall]—!

[One Lethal Kill]—!

As though turning into a meteor, the black staff pounded the massive crocodile's head with immense, terrifying force!

Crack!

The massive crocodile's head was slightly cracked, its scales on its head, as though fragile glass fractured into pieces.

Additionally, the lightning fell down and burnt its head, turning its unprotected front into a sizzling sight.

"GRAAAAAAAA—!!"

The massive crocodile cried in pain. In its primal fury, it became berserk and started to wildly attack Hajin!

Hajin reciprocated its attacks with a wide smile. He maneuvered his staff skillfully, making it appear like a blur and attacking the blind spots of the monster.

However, he wasn't safe from the waters—in the crocodile's fury, the waters also raged and turned sharp, making Hajin's body bloodied and wounded.

But none of the wounds deterred Hajin's attacks, in contrast, it only fueled his raging fury and battle intent more.

A grueling sight of a bloodied man fighting a giant unfolded, but extraordinarily, the man was the one with an advantage.

On the muddle forest swamp, violent lightning intertwined with the furious waters, making the harsh wind transform into a whirlwind.

A misty fog erupted and covered the figures fighting in the swamp, only the sounds of immense force clashing against each other echoed.

Occasionally, one would be able to see through the mist and see a bloodied man and half-destroyed massive crocodile screaming at each other and bashing their bodies.

Woosh! Crackle!

This battle persisted for at least an hour long, turning the swamp forest into a cluttered mess in its aftermath.

After a while, a blur flashed—Elias lightly appeared on the corners of the cluttered swamp forest and made the mist disperse.

Under the cover of the mist, Hajin stood unconscious whilst being supported by his black staff.

Without the slightest damage, the black staff pierced through a massive crocodile's head. It was a scene straight out of a fantasy.

Man triumphing against nature—Hajin won against the beast emperor.

"As expected of Hajin Sanchez. I'm surprised he didn't call for help…"

Seeing the result, Elias nodded in admiration. He was prepared to help at any time, but Hajin never called for him.

Maybe Hajin thought he was weak or didn't want him to interfere, regardless, that one-man show he witnessed won his admiration over.

While he was thinking, Celestia slowly walked out from the corner and chuckled in amusement.

"You're quite cruel and sadistic, you just watched as your friend slowly turned into a bloodied mess."

"I don't need to hear that from you,"

Elias was unamused.

"Why not? Perhaps we're more similar than you think?"

Celestia whispered in a fascinated tone. But Elias simply ignored her and approached Hajin and the beast emperor's corpse.

"You're set on following us, right? Why not put your Saintess abilities to use for once?"

"For once? It seems you have a low opinion of me. I actively use my abilities to pitiable people in society!"

Celestia mewled cutely with a 'hmph' but she nodded and quickly took action. She muttered under her breath.

[God's Grace]—!

Moments later, she opened her eyes.

On top of Hajin's body, a burst of starlight shone and suddenly entered his body, suffusing his body and healing his wounds.

Seeing the effects, Celestia spoke her thoughts.

"Hm… his wounds are quite severe, his injuries are not a problem, but his mana reserves would take a day or so to fully recover… you're quite a cruel man to make him fight alone. Don't you think you should escape now and leave this man alone? He might kill you in anger."

Celestia muttered before turning to Elias with sparkling eyes.

Feeling slightly creeped out, Elias shook his head and dismissed lightly.

"I have my reasons."

Hearing that, Celestial simply smiled whilst her eyes sized him up. It was as though examining an interesting specimen.

Ignoring her gaze, Elias took out some parts of the massive crocodile's body before carrying Hajin's body and walking away.

***

After a while, Elias walked out of the swamp forest. He was carrying another person's body on his shoulder. While behind him, he was accompanied by Celestia.

Together, they trudged the swamp forest and approached their destination.

The inner circle.
