Chapter 224

"Pfft!"

When the cold sword light mixed with the red magic blade slashed through the forest, a hideous wound appeared on the giant body of the half-human, half-centipede monster.

"Pfft — Pfft — Pfft —"

Two figures that were like streams of light kept darting and flying around the monster. Every time they darted and flew, a red sword light would slash the monster's body, causing wounds to appear on the monster's giant body.

"Gaaaa —!!!"

The monster let out a roar that was unknown whether it was in pain or anger. Its giant centipede body swayed wildly, and it continuously spewed scorching dragon's breath from its mouth. The dragon's breath shrouded the surroundings, trying to evaporate the two figures that were constantly slashing at its body.

Unfortunately, the monster's speed was far inferior to the two figures. Although its swaying body shook the ground and the scorching dragon's breath burned the forest into ashes, turning the surroundings into scorched earth, it could not touch the two figures at all.

"Boom!"

The scorching dragon's breath once again swept across angrily, burning the ground as it approached one of the figures.

"Me again?"

Shien was almost speechless as he flew at the speed of a meteor, dodging the storm-like scorching dragon's breath.

He now seriously suspected that this monster had a grudge against men, or maybe it had a grudge against him, which was why it kept targeting him.

From the beginning of the battle until now, Rosie's damage to the monster was no less than Shien's, but the number of times the monster attacked Shien was far more than Rosie's. It was simply insane.

"I didn't learn any skills like [Provoke], why should I?"

Shien was about to curse out loud, but he did not dare to be careless. He had already used [Ultimate Change], and a huge amount of magic flowed around his body, strengthening himself while dodging the scorching dragon's breath.

Although Shien had a few max level resistance skills, and logically speaking, he should not have to worry about getting hurt, but just as he was thinking about it, Rosie told him.

"The dragon's breath is a violent torrent that can break through all defenses. Unless it is a unique skill or the effect of a special skill, even the strongest defense will be burned like paper in front of the dragon's breath!"

Therefore, Shien's resistance skills were useless in front of the monster's dragon's breath.

To defend against the dragon's breath, he either had to use a defensive unique skill or a special skill, or unseal the holy sword and rely on the protection of the holy sword to resist the dragon's breath.

However, if the holy sword was unsealed, the magic of the holy sword would become very conspicuous. If there were Demons wandering around, they would definitely be discovered.

Because of this, Rosie suggested solving the problem while not understanding the holy sword.

This made Shien almost curse out loud.

"The commotion here is so big that it almost tells others that something has happened here. If there were really people wandering around, let alone demons, even an ordinary person would notice, right?"

"There's such a big commotion here. It's only a matter of not telling others that something has happened here. If there are really people wandering around, not to mention the Demons, even a normal person would notice, right?"

Even though Shien was cursing, his hands did not stop moving. He raised the holy sword in his hand towards the dragon's breath, added [Demonic Sword] to it, and slashed.

In an instant, the dragon's breath that could break through all defenses was cut off by the red magic blade and scattered in all directions.

Clearly, it was impossible for even the dragon's breath to vaporize the Holy Sword.

Therefore, Shien could use the holy sword with [Demonic Sword] to cut off the dragon's breath.

However …

"Gaaaa —!!!"

The monster was still roaring. Although it could not do anything to Shien and Rosie, it did not fall.

This was because its huge body that was riddled with wounds would sway like a mirage every once in a while, and then all the wounds on its body would disappear.

"Even this monster can't be killed?"

Rosie leaped into the air with the radiance of [Heroic Spirit Guard] surrounding her body. She broke through the dragon's breath's blockade and scuttled behind the monster. Seeing that the monster's huge body had recovered, her beautiful brows furrowed deeply.

"This should be the effect of the [Semi-Solid] skill, right?"

Shien scuttled in front of the monster to attract the monster's firepower. At the same time, his heart was filled with doubts.

Logically speaking, even a monster without a physical body would be injured if it was slashed by the [Demon Sword], let alone a half-physical one.

[Demonic Sword] was not only sharp and powerful. It was a trump card for close-range combat, and there was almost nothing it could not cut through. As long as its level was high enough, it could cut through barriers and magic. Monsters that were immune to physical damage could also be damaged by the [Demonic Sword].

Moreover, even if it was sealed, the holy sword's power was still somewhat effective. An evil creature like this should not be able to ignore the holy sword's damage.

Could it be because it was neither a monster nor a human, and it did not know what it was?

"Boom!"

Amidst the roar, the monster's dragon's breath struck again, melting the ground it hit into fiery red magma.

Shien and Rosie quickly scuttled to the left and right, once again dodging the terrifying dragon's breath. They were not affected by it.

However, the monster's dragon's breath was truly terrifying. It had already evaporated the mountain, and it was on the verge of collapsing.

"We can't go on like this!" Shien shouted at Rosie, "Stop hesitating! Rosie! Use the holy sword! "

"Alright!" Rosie did not insist.

She was not stupid. Since the fight had already reached such a state, the people who should be alerted had already been alerted. There was no need to hold back anymore.

So …

"Unseal (Heresu)!"

As the short liberation chant was chanted, the holy sword in Rosie's hand suddenly trembled. The steel on the surface of the sword slid and merged layer by layer, finally forming a seal ring on the hilt.

At the same time, Shien also moved.

Shien landed in front of the monster and stared at it with a burning gaze.

"I'll use you to test my magic!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shien raised his hand and gathered magic on his fingertips.

"[Yield. Bind]."

Through the chant, Shien gave a characteristic to the world.

The target was the ground under his feet.

"Rumble …!"

In an instant, the ground began to tremble.

The monster seemed to realize that something was wrong. Just as it was about to move, the ground under it suddenly cracked, causing it to fall into the abyss-like crack.

Immediately after, when the monster was about to get up, the ground shook again and actually merged, biting the monster tightly in the crack.

"[Yield. Harden]."

At this time, Shien gave the ground a new characteristic, causing a huge wave of magic to flow through the ground, making it extremely hard.

"Gaaaa —!!!"

The monster struggled desperately, but it could only cause the ground to shake, unable to break free from the restraint of the crack.

Meanwhile, Rosie had already leaped high into the air and rushed over.

In her hand, the holy sword's radiance was extremely dazzling.
