Blood Elf Monarch

The closer to the ancient monster's location, the clearer the sound of the monster's heartbeat in Tristan's ears was.

Three monsters at once. Beating just one was not enough, but they must somehow defeat all three.

Even though the magus level elves, including himself, had been divided according to King Ivaasar's calculation of strength, still. Would he and the others succeed in defeating those monstrous creature?

Tristan dashed towards the monster he should defeat, led by King Vizier and a quiet dark elf elder who haven't said much so far.

The target was a guard monster that had thick, scaly skin resembling an armour. He hoped that the tier 6 equivalent weapon that he could create after upgrading his [Blood Synthesis] could penetrate the monster's scales.

WOOSH!

All of them shot simultaneously towards their respective targets.

ROAARRR!

The two guardian monsters roared in anger as the uninvited guests harassed their home.

Guardian-Zilant began to flap its two wings and flew upwards. The creature had long, stiff tails with bony, hammer-like clubs. Very large with the addition of a pointed bone-like structure sticking out above its surface.

The only way to fight the creature was to fly, and Callan, as the leader of the team tasked with defeating it, was ready to fight in the air.

"ATTACK!"

ROAAR!

Callan and Hanz dashed forward and mustered their strength to swing their swords. They hit the monster's body from the front, a direct attack that made them have to rely on strong physical strength.

Meanwhile, Queen Leena kept a safe distance. She shot into the dark shadow and hid within it while throwing projectiles from all directions.

BOOM! BOOM!

The projectiles exploded in contact with the monster's tough skin but failed to make the monster hurt. It was just that the monster's body was slightly pushed away by the explosion.

Guardian-Zilant roared in a loud voice, its mouth wide open.

Callan saw it as an opportunity to fly to the top of the giant monster's body and land on its back without being seen.

"Attack from below!" He shouted loudly at Hanz, who had drawn all three swords at once and then attacked the monster's chest.

SPLAT!! SPLAT!

Callan and Hanz showed how powerful the Arcadian's sword slashes were.

The enormous slash of the sword from two different directions made Guardian-Zilant slightly overwhelmed.

ROAR!

The monster roared in pain as its body was torn apart until its blood gushed down.

Queen Leena tried to trap the monster's legs so it wouldn't kick Hanz, who was so close to it.

"Keep it up!"

Suddenly the long neck of the terrible monster turned back and opened its jaws wide. Its eyes gleamed with hatred as it found Callan tearing at the back of his neck, trying to create a deeper wound.

ROARR!

Callan managed to block the mouth of the monster, who almost devoured him alive, with his sword. It made the monster's upper jaw hurt and bleed from being hit by the tip of Callan's blade.

"Callan, are you alright?" Queen Leena, who saw the sudden attack, turned pale. Her view was blocked by the monster's long neck, so she had absolutely no idea about what happened back there.

"I'm fine! " Callan shouted in a trembling voice. All the muscles in his arms and legs tightened as he struggled against the monster and continued to make sure his grasp on his sword was firm.

Hanz shot up, changing the target of his attack from the chest to the neck of the monster, which was wide open with nothing to protect it. And without thinking, he used his secret sword skill.

[Divine Sword Dance]

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

The flying dragon swooped up and threw Callan and his sword into the air. The creature flew around as if trying to lessen the pain it received from Hanz's sword slash.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Tristan followed King Vizier's direction to attack from the front. A direct attack.

Before crashing his sword into the monster's body, Tristan decided to initiate his innate ability.

[Blood Synthesis]

A clot of blood shot out from the blood elf monarch's body and then floated in the air nearby before transforming into a blood spear that was much larger in size than the last time he created the weapon.

"This should be enough to pierce through that thick skin." Tristan was more confident after seeing that tier 6 blood weapon.

Before Tristan started attacking, King Vizier, as the leader of the Guardian-Naja attack team, had already made the first move. He created a terrifying gigantic fireball as if a stormy sun were floating in front of him.

[Sun Blast] [Magic Spell tier 7]

Different from the other guardian, Guardian-Naja seemed uninterested in moving away from the pillar that his body was wrapped around. Its tongue kept sticking out every second like a snake, and its eyes flashed as it watched the giant fireball.

"ATTACK!"

BOOM! KABOOM!

The fireball shot past the Guardian-Naja and managed to blow it up, making the pillar that became its perch instantly shattered and collapse into the swamp water below. Even so, Tristan could still clearly sense the immense power from the direction of the pillar ruin and the explosive light that hid it.

"It is still alive."

BANG!

Guardian-Naja reappeared from under the ruins of the pillar. It threw the pieces of the pillar into the air in one fell swoop.

The elves who were in that place had to dodge the pillar stones that were flying at them, or else they would be hit and crushed by the heavy objects.

"Together!" King Vizier exclaimed on the signal.

SUUP!

Tristan shot his seven new blood spears at the monster's body, which was still partly under the rubble.

And-

SPLAT! SPLAT!

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

There were only two blood spears that managed to pierce the monster's body. They created a wound and black-red blood gushed out of its body. The two spears pierced the sides of its body.

Meanwhile, another blood spear that hit the monster's back seemed to hit something very hard and impenetrable, so it only ended up falling to the side of the monster. It didn't manage to do any damage at all.

Tristan realized that the creature's back was impossible to penetrate with any weapon. However, the lower part of the creature's body seemed normal enough for the weapon to penetrate.

Seeing the results of Tristan's attack, King Vizier concluded the same thing. About which part of the monster's body should be the target to attack.

"Attack the bottom!"

King Vizier's team together aimed for the lower body of the Guardian-Naja.

While the two Guardians' attack teams were already busy with their respective battles, the full moon elves along with the strongest high elves had already shot forward towards the largest ancient monster.

Those yellow eyes flashed horribly. Its tongue kept moving in and out consistently because it really helped improve its sense of smell.

HISSSS!

The creature suddenly moved from its throne when it saw that five elves were flying toward it. Even though the creature was moving very fast, still, its oversized body made it look a little slower in the eyes of the elves with enhanced senses.

King Ivaasar had used the [Divine Earthbind] magic, which made the roots of the aquatic plants around the place instantly grow large and elongate rapidly. They managed to wrap around the serpent-god's body, and thus, they slightly stopped its movement.

HISSS!

The creature was truly furious because of King Ivaasar's move. Its eyes widened, and it stared at the wood elf king as if he knew who had just used the trapping magic on his body.

King Castian, who realized that the serpent-god was being restrained, immediately used a tier 7 magic spell, creating a very strong wind that could function like a terrifying blade of a sword.

[Wind Blades]

SPLAT! SPLAT!

A terrifying slash of wind managed to scrape the serpent god's scaly skin and send the creature's blood gushing out.

Even so, the scratches from a tier 7 magic spell couldn't tear its body apart. It was only on the surface that the creature didn't even appear to be in the slightest bit of pain.

When the wind stopped tearing its body. Suddenly the god serpent doubled its body diameter so that the roots of King Ivaasar's tree that were wrapped around it were instantly broken, cut into several pieces.

"Again!" King Ivaasar ordered the others to keep attacking the serpent god's body with their strongest magic from all directions.

The high elf elders aimed for the monster's body while King Ivaasar and King Castian tried to crush the monster's head which didn't seem to budge in the slightest.

The fight was really very tough. Even though only the strongest elves fought against the three monsters, their strength, even when put together, was still not strong enough to defeat the three monsters quickly.

The place that was originally very quiet and peaceful had been filled with endless crashing sounds, explosive sounds, and sword slashing sounds.

Fighting took place in the air, in the swamps, and in the gaps between the giant pillars. Several pillars were successfully destroyed due to the great explosion. Time and time again, Guardian-Naja and the serpent-god monster's body were buried under the ruins of the pillar by the elves' attacks.

However, it didn't injure their bodies that were too strong.

Suddenly, the serpent god Jormungand puffed up the bottom of its neck for a few seconds and its eyes turned bright green. Not only that, the cracks all over its body seemed to close simultaneously.

The monster's body expanded to almost double its previous diameter. And King Ivaasar knew what would happen next. The serpent-god was about to prepare its ultimate attack.

"Avoid! Now!" The King shouted to warn everyone.
