Undying Warlord

Chapter 379 Dominance of a Tier-4 existence

When the Sea Serpent had released the water blast, Dilan had begun to move.

His upper body bent forward, nearly touching the ground as he shot in the direction of the Sea Serpent.

Yet, instead of attacking its head, Dilan had to make sure that Xealtron was able to pierce through the scales that covered the Sea Serpent’s whole body.

He didn’t want to face a monster his strongest weapon couldn’t handle, whether he had the necessary strength to face it or not!

Using his might, he shot past the Sea Serpent’s head while piercing Xealtron straight to the side. The small dagger, whose blade was barely close to 30 centimeters long, pierced inside and out of the Sea Serpent’s scale.

A bit of green blood splattered out of the small wound he had inflicted on the Sea Serpent’s humongous body, giving Dilan the insight he needed.

‘It’s possible but the effect is rather restricted because the blade is so short!’ He figured as he continued to push the Cursed Dagger inside the flesh of the Sea Serpent while he continued to run.

The body of the Sea Serpent was more than a kilometer long and the only part of it that Dilan was able to see was the one that was on the ground. There was still a huge part of the Sea Serpent’s body that was hidden beneath the water.

However, Dilan ignored this as he caused a one-kilometer long and more than 20-centimeter deep wound to the humongous Sea Serpent.

The Sea Serpent roared out in anger and slithered around quickly to attack Dilan. Yet, even before the Sea Serpent had moved its humongous body to take note of Dilan and strike a blow, he had disappeared once again.

Dilan had jumped over the body of the Sea Serpent to land on the other side of its body.

For a huge monster like the Sea Serpent, it was extremely difficult to move flexibly, even if their Agility was high.

Large monsters couldn’t turn or move as quickly as smaller beasts, especially serpents, whose bodies forced them to have a huge turning radius.

Dilan decided to make use of this, which was why he had jumped over the Sea Serpent’s body to start inflicting the same type of long injury on the other side of its body.

With the necessary determination in his heart, Dilan thrust the dagger deep into the Sea Serpent before he began to run back to the upper part of its head.

The Sea Serpent roared out in pain and it thrashed its head around. The huge Sea Serpent’s entire body followed suit as it replicated the death roll of an alligator. It was not that useful against Dilan, who reacted quickly enough to shoot to the side the moment the Sea Serpent began to roll around bit it was more than enough to make sure that Dilan would keep his distance.

Even if the Sea Serpent was not one of the most intelligent existences at Tier-4, it could tell that Dilan’s strength had only been enhanced temporarily.

It was impossible for him to increase his stats permanently in this way and the Sea Serpent was fully aware of this.

The monster’s only mission was to survive in the next few minutes before it could take revenge against its little brother, whom Dilan had killed mercilessly.

Dilan meanwhile could tell what the Sea Serpent was planning to do. He frowned deeply but accepted the reality after a second.

His body jerked in the direction of the Sea Serpent’s head.

The monster had closed its eyes as if it would feel nausea when rolling around with its eyes wide open.

This was quite unexpected because the monster’s closed eyes gave Dilan the perfect opportunity.

He shot forward with a shocking velocity, creating a terrifying sound as he broke through the sound barrier, which caused the Sea Serpent to stop rolling and open its eyes, where it saw Dilan shooting straight toward it.

The Sea Serpent’s eyes changed color all of a sudden and Dilan felt a sense of danger as a green-colored substance trickled out of the Sea Serpent’s eyes.

It caused him to frown deeply and to change the trajectory of his attack.

Even if it was possible to destroy one of the Sea Serpent’s eyes, the green substance that leaked from the Sea Serpent’s eyes was definitely not something that was supposed to get in touch with his skin.

Dilan pierced the Cursed Dagger deep into the ‘snoot’ of the Sea Serpent before he twisted the dagger while ramming it further into its flesh and organs.

The Sea Serpent’s head jerked upward, and Dilan was thrown in the air as a result.

The monster opened its mouth wide and it was just about to lunge high into the air to swallow Dilan in his entirety when the Sea Serpent saw a blueish shield that had emerged tens of meters above Dilan.

He twisted his body and did a somersault midair. His feet touched the Aegis’ shield he had manifested the moment he was flung into the air.

Dilan pushed himself off the Aegis’ Shield using all his might and he shot down to the ground like a falling star.

His eyes were glinting in cold fury and tremendous amounts of bloodlust surged out of his body. He released some of his mana to coat the Cursed Dagger with it before he engulfed himself with mana to face the seemingly endless pit he was ready to enter.

Clueless about the repercussions of its actions, the Sea Serpent simply jumped upward to swallow him whole

Dilan simply let himself fall into its wide open jaw to enter the Sea Serpent’s body to wreak havoc from within.

He didn’t have any more time to waste because the effects of the temporary upgrades and the abilities he had used would wear off if he were to continue to hesitate.

Dilan wanted to kill the Sea Serpent as quickly as possible and blasting in its stomach was the easiest way to kill the monster.

Thus, he did exactly that; push his feet from the Aegis’ shield to shoot straight inside the Sea Serpent’s mouth.

There was no need for him to waste even a single second as he pierced out with Xealtron the moment Dilan had shot past the Sea Serpent’s fangs.

Using his momentum and terrifying strength, Dilan inflicted severe damage upon the Sea Serpent even before it could close its maw completely.

Dilan kept falling for a long time, or so it felt before his feet touched something solid.

He took a deep breath and let himself plunge through the fangs before he started to mercilessly slash, thrust, and cut the monster’s body from the inside.

Dilan tried using the Silver Blazing Serpentine Blade to inflict more severe injuries in a short moment but he failed miserably. The Silver Serpentine Blade’s material was too weak to pierce through the soft flesh of the Sea Serpent’s insides.

However, what Dilan could do was use the Pyromancy orb to shroud the Cursed Dagger with his mana and blazing flames. This increased the damage he could cause, and it allowed Dilan to wreak even more havoc.

Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Dilan quickly noticed that the Sea Serpent was bleeding to death.

It was only a matter of time before it would die but Dilan didn’t show the slightest bit of mercy. After the two minutes had passed, he had finally gotten through the thickest layers of flesh.

And just like that, it looked like Dilan had cut through the entire body of the house-sized Sea Serpent…using a 30-centimeter-long blade, and tremendous efforts.

“Become my first big hunted treasure!”
