When Brando found the Basilisk, Amandina and Tia were hiding in the bushes, admiring the beautiful and mysterious creature. Of course, they did not dare to get too close, but peeked from a few hundred meters away.
The noble lady actually came out to look for this little girl who was running around collecting materials for Tamar. However, when she and the lizardmen of the Flame Claw Clan met this little wild elf girl, the two of them discovered the quiet little pond in the forest together.
Amandina recognized the scale. She had seen all kinds of monsters in books, and some of the books on natural history were dedicated to describing the Basilisk.
She had Ropar report to Brando about the Basilisk while she led the others to continue forward. Soon, they found the tracks left behind by the Basilisk in the forest.
It was a five-headed snake lizard. The surface of its body showed incomparably beautiful lines at the intersection of light and darkness. It was filled with a sense of power. Its fine scales were ink-black, but there were some places that revealed a faint green color.
This was a venomous Basilisk.
Its defense and strength were not as good as other Basilisks of its kind. It could not turn its body into mist like the Shadow Hydra, and it could not manipulate the elements like its ice or fire subspecies. However, it was one of the most difficult to deal with among the Basilisks. It could even corrode magic alloys with its venom.
Fortunately, Brando knew how to deal with this monster. He rushed out and said to the others: "You guys stay here and watch!" He said this to the group of eager youths, and then ordered: "Kodan, Ropar, Scarlet, attack from the back. The five-headed Basilisk only attacks 180 degrees. I'll attract its venom."
"That's too dangerous!" The old swordsman pulled out his sword and followed behind. The Basilisk was precious, and Brando had promised to give him a bottle of Dragon Strength Potion.
"Leave it to me!" The youth pulled out Halran Gaia, and the Wind Haste spell on the scabbard that Tamar had specially made for him was activated. His agility was increased by 50%, and his body sped up.
As he said this, he entered the Snake Lizard Beast's alert range. The five-story-tall behemoth also discovered the intruder from 200 meters away. Its third head raised, and its conical mouth opened wide.
Brendel did not forget the experience of fighting against these creatures. He saw the monster's mouth open and frowned, then rolled to the side. Chi! A black arrow of venom missed him by a hair's breadth.
The venomous liquid streaked through the forest like a long dragon. The trees in front of it were corroded and emitted white smoke. Some even burned because of the large amount of heat. Finally, the venomous arrows that did not hit the target shot into the forest. The trees in the forest withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Basilisk's spirit, the youths who wanted to, wanted to try their skills, but when they saw this scene, their faces, and some even cried out.
"By the name of Martha!"
The young man named Mordenkainen by Brando stared blankly at the lord who dodged left and right, and calmly avoided the five venom arrows. His heart was full of nervousness and surprise. He had heard of many legends about the youth, and some of them were too miraculous and unbelievable to be believed.
But these were incomparable to the facts he had seen with his own eyes. His mouth was wide open, and suddenly he heard someone beside him ask, "So, so strong, the lord said that one day we can be like this too? Is this true? "
The person who asked this question was obviously stunned. He could not help but pull his companion next to him. Merial, whose sleeve was pulled, blushed and moved aside.
"Merial?" The man was stunned. "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing," Merial shook his head vigorously. He looked at the other side and whispered, "The lord is at least Gold-tier. I think it will take us at least a few decades to reach his level …"
"A few decades, but the lord looks at most twenty years old!"
"The lord is a genius, can you compare?"
"That's true, but a few decades is too long."
"That's Gold-tier." One of the young men, who was originally a mercenary, immediately mocked: "Do you think he's a grass in the field? Do you know the reserve Knight of the Holy Cathedral? As long as you have Gold-tier strength, you can enter the reserve Knight of the Holy Cathedral — "
Many people in the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air. The Knights Templar's reserve members were people they could only look up to in the legends. They were existences that were even higher than Graudin.
Another person said: "Don't even talk about Gold-tier. As long as you can reach Silver-tier, you can easily obtain the title of Knight from the lord!"
Even the lowest noble title of Knight was full of temptation.
"Then can we reach Silver-tier?" Someone asked.
Carglise finally snapped out of his daze. He felt that his Lord must have laughed when he saw him rushing towards him with his sword. He was only at the pinnacle of Iron rank, and yet he had to fight against a Gold-ranked Quasi-sword Saint who was at the pinnacle of swordsmanship and possessed the strength of a Gold-ranked warrior.
Although the young man was thick-skinned, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed: "We can definitely reach Silver-tier." He glanced at the others and answered.
"Are you sure, Carglise?" Maria asked curiously: "It's difficult for an ordinary person to reach Silver-tier. You still need to have a certain amount of talent, right?"
"Don't you think you're improving very quickly?" Carglise asked.
Everyone was stunned. Is that so? They were scolded by Kodan every day as idiots. The red-haired girl with a long ponytail who beat them up every day shook her head whenever she saw them. Even though the lord looked kind, gentle, and easy to talk to, he only smiled at them without saying anything.
Now, they even thought that they were idiots. Otherwise, how could the lord and Miss Scarlet, who looked like they were in their teens or twenties, be so much stronger than them?
Carglise shook his head. He knew that this was not the problem. Recently, he felt that since he returned to his father's side from the Lord of the Palas, his swordsmanship, which had stagnated for a long time, seemed to be showing signs of improvement.
He was also surprised to find that his absolute strength had begun to show signs of reaching Silver-tier after only a week in the Dark Forest.
"Do you know what kind of swordsmanship the lord is teaching you every day?" He asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Maria," Carglise said.
Maria frowned: "I took a look. It should be the Sanctum's swordsmanship."
"Isn't that forbidden to be taught to outsiders?" Someone shouted. The young men suddenly became quiet and looked at each other. It was not a small crime to teach the Sanctum's secret swordsmanship to outsiders.
But Carglise shook his head. He did not care about the Sanctum, and the Sanctum did not care about a small fry like him. They had plenty of talented young men to choose from. Heaven's Bearers and Chosen Ones. Compared to those favored by the heavens, he was just an ordinary person.
He patted Maria's shoulder lightly: "So, do you understand, Maria? I think I've made the right choice this time."
Maria blushed.
The others quieted down. They all heard what Carglise said.
… …
While the young men were deep in thought, Brando was not as relaxed as they thought. The venom of the five-headed snake was far more terrifying than it appeared to be. Although Brando was not hit directly, he was still shuttling in and out. Soon, a row of notifications appeared on the green grid in his vision:
Abnormal status.
Brando had already passed through the fifth poisonous arrow. He knew that the Basilisk needed some time to prepare for the next round of attack. He immediately gestured to Kodan, Scarlet, and Ropar, who were behind him, to quickly move closer to him. At the same time, he also tried to lure the big guy to turn around.
On one hand, he wanted to leave the area filled with poisonous clouds.
As he moved forward, he quickly switched through the interface. It was not difficult for him, as it was a reflex action after thousands of repetitions. The interface first switched to the Life status, and it showed the healthiest green color.
This meant that although the poisonous cloud had begun to seep into his body, it had not yet caused any damage. This was because his Constitution was still immune to the poison. Brando's Constitution was over 100. If he was an ordinary person, he would have died a few hundred times.
He immediately switched to the immunity panel. The resistance column was pale yellow. The resistance rate was about 87%, but it was still decreasing. At this rate, within ten minutes, even if he was not hit directly, he would still be poisoned to death.
As expected of an upper Gold-ranked creature, it was not easy to deal with.
In the game, the five-headed snake's attack interval was one and a half minutes. This meant that the attacker had to hurry up and close the distance between them. However, the Basilisk was very cunning. It also retreated while spitting.
Brando was used to this tactic. He changed his direction and lured the five-headed snake to face him. This way, it would be easier for Kodan and the others to approach it from behind.
The five-headed snake also realized this, but it could not do anything else. It could only growl angrily.
Thirty seconds later, Brando, Kodan, and the others were within range of the five-headed snake. Brando activated Charge and was the first to enter. He then jumped up and dodged the five-headed snake's whip-like tail sweep.
Tail sweeps had always been reserved for dragons and wyverns. When the tail that was even sturdier than steel swept across the forest and cut the towering trees in half, the loud cracking noises could be heard for miles. All the spectators in the distance couldn't help but hold their breaths.
Brando landed beside the Basilisk's right front claw and raised Halran Gaia.
The battle had reached its climax.
