Mag removed his apron, put it aside, and said to Annie, “Annie, bring Amy upstairs to sleep first. We need to go out to settle some matters.”
Annie nodded obediently. She held Amy’s hand, and brought her upstairs without asking any questions.
“Did something happen?” Amy asked with a perplexed look.
Annie shook her head, but she hugged Amy with a smile, showing that she would protect her.
“system, what happened?” Amy asked inwardly.
“An unknown powerful and terrifying creature has appeared out there. Please remain indoors, Little Mistress,” the system quickly answered.
“Is ita bad egg?”
“T’s an unknown creature that is different from any recorded species on the Norland Continent. It’s very powerful. It’s not a being that you can handle, Little Mistress,” the system answered.
“Then, can you handle it?”
“This System is to assist you, Little Mistress. I can’t launch an attack on any creature.”
“That means you’re not his match, idiot.” Amy rolled her eyes. She couldn’t help feeling worried about her father and mother.
“You’ll protect the two children, while I lure this fellow away from here,” Mag said to Irina before putting on a mask, and darting out of the door.
Titan Tavern was closed, and Romo Street was completely dark and quiet right now.
Meanwhile, a giant creature hovered in the air above Saipan Tavern.
It was a gigantic three-headed snake with giant bat-like wings. Its dragon-like head was menacing and terrifying. Its blood-red vertical pupils were like red lanterns in the dark. Venom dripped from its razor-sharp teeth and landed on the ground. Deep holes were instantly created in the rock pavement,
which was corroded by the venom.
That three-headed snake targeted Mag as soon as he left the tavern.
“Sss~ sss…” The giant snake hissed and dashed downwards at Mag.
“So you really came for me? Then, I will bring you around Rodu.” Mag’s lips curled up, and he turned into a shadow as he dashed towards the ministries’ offices nearby.
The giant snake turned and followed Mag closely.
That giant snake looked some kind of magic beast, but the evil aura on it was what Mag was the most concerned about.
The same evil aura as the Great Old Ones was extremely thick, and Mag was certain that this wasn’t simply a magic beast that was brought under control. It was more like a magic creature that had its own thoughts.
Mag dashed in between all the government buildings. After the giant snake failed to catch him after dashing at him a couple of times, it began to launch its attacks.
The snake spat out flaming fireballs, and they landed on those buildings, making them explode and collapse instantly, and causing a huge fire.
It was already late at night, and there was no one in the government buildings.
However, they were very close to the royal palace, so Mag could already sense a few powerhouses’ presence approaching them right now.
Mag led the giant snake around, and destroyed the offices of a few ministries before choosing a less crowded route, and went towards the exterior of the city.
Before they could get out of the city, that giant snake was intercepted by two 10th-tier knights and one great magic caster.
Mag concealed his aura, and stopped to watch the show close by.
“What evil beast are you? How dare you wreak havoc in our city of Rodu!” the 10th-tier knight in the lead yelled at the giant black snake that was blocked by an ice wall.
The other two, the magic caster and the knight, also had solemn expressions. 20-30 10th-tier powerhouses had congregated in Rodu recently, and they were asked to standby at all times.
Intense battle fluctuations were detected near the royal palace. Other than the powerhouses who had stayed back to guard the palace, the three of them were the first to arrive and intercept the perpetrator.
Rumors about the devil had been spreading wildly recently, and this ugly fellow that they had intercepted had the terrifying devil’s aura. It did resemble the devil in their imagination.
The giant snake that was hovering in midair was over 100 meters long, It had three scary heads and a pair of giant bat wings behind its back. It was exactly the incarnation of ugliness and scariness.
Sss.
The giant snake made a sharp roar as it stared down at those people below. It swung its giant tail onto the ice wall in front of it.
With the sound of the air being whipped, the thick ice wall disintegrated, turning into ice shards instantly.
At the same time, the three snake heads opened their mouths, and spat out three giant fireballs.
“Let’s join forces to stop it and wait for reinforcements!” the leading knight roared. He then stomped on the ground with one leg and disappeared. He reappeared around the snake in an instant, and his longsword was already drawn. He slashed downwards at the snake.
The 10th-tier knights’ most powerful abilities were their sword techniques and their understanding of the rules and laws. They allowed them to wield strength that was way beyond their bodies’ limitations by executing the sword techniques.
A white sword projection swung skywards, and then slashed down unstoppably, as though he was trying to slash that giant snake in half with that one strike.
‘The magic caster slapped a few protective talismans on himself. As he retreated rapidly, he raised his magic wand, and chanted magic spells.
The other 10th-tier knight also dashed towards that giant snake with his sword. There was something weird about this giant snake. It didn’t look like some powerful magic beast that entered Rodu by mistake. For safety’s sake, joining forces was very necessary for them.
The three fireballs landed on the streets, and made three craters that were a few meters deep.
That giant snake seemed to panic as it failed to strike the three powerhouses and was surrounded and attacked by them. It flapped its wings, and two powerful gusts of wind appeared as it moved backwards rapidly. The giant snake’s tail twirled around and rolled towards that knight who was swinging his
sword downwards. At the same time, a head opened its mouth and tried to bite him.
This was a rather intense battle. Only the three severely wounded 10th-tier powerhouses and a mess were left on the scene when the other powerhouses rushed over.
“Out of the… city, to the west…” The leading knight fainted immediately after he said that.
“The five of you, follow me in pursuit of it!” A general leaped onto his flying steed, and gave an order to five powerhouses before they chased after the three-headed snake westwards.
On the other side, Mag led the giant snake eastwards leisurely on Ah Zi’s back.
This giant snake’s power was above that of normal 10th-tier powerhouses. It was able to chase after him after it seriously wounded three 10th-tier powerhouses.
“About here. Ah Zi, let’s stop.”
The purple-striped griffin hovered above a patch of bamboo forest after they were 800 km east from the city.
“Who are you?”
Mag acted tough with his hands behind his back as he stood on the purple-striped griffin’s back.
The giant snake stopped about 100 meters away. It was also wounded. One of its eyes on the middle head was even knocked out, but the area that was covered by the black evil aura was rapidly repairing itself.
“Tam Cthulhu”
Mag had already disappeared from the griffin’s back as soon as it started talking.
In the very next instant, Mag appeared above its head with his heavy sword, and smacked down hard.
Boom!!!
The giant snake crashed to the ground, leveling a big patch of bamboo, and making a deep crater on the ground.
“Hmm? It can talk?” Mag, who landed on the purple-striped griffin’s back, said with surprise as he looked at the crater below.
