================================

The length of this huge python was more than 600 metres while its body’s diameter was bigger than a lorry. Its skin has a batik pattern like a batik python from South East Asia, just with a different colour. This huge python has a dark purplish skin and a golden stripe above its eyes. Furthermore, its level was unbelievable.

Sawa LVL 513

‘...’

Acma could not believe his eyes. Its level and font colour was extremely shocking. This was his first time meeting such high level beast.

“Identify”

Sawa LVL 513

Named beast, king of python.

Highly resistance against physical and magical attack, capable of using earth element magic such as Stone Spike, Stone Splinter, Stone Shield

“How the hell I’m going to kill this damn snake !!!!” Acma shouted loudly. It was funny, considering that the first thought appeared in Acma’s mind was how to kill this damn huge python although it seem almost impossible. Maybe because it was just almost but not totally impossible. He always believe that he could turn the impossible possible.

He was really frustrated. If this king of python use an elemental attack, he wouldn’t worry because his armour gave him immunity against such attack. But, currently he was within a valley, surrounded by stone. If this python decided to use a real stone to attack, he would be in a deep trouble. His armour only gave 75% resistance against physical attack. 25% damage from a beast of this calibre might endanger his life. Furthermore, this overgrown python had a superb resistance against any kind of attack plus superb defence skill. All of this really gave a headache to Acma.

What made Acma felt more miserable was the fact that he couldn’t retreat, he must kill this python here and now. If he choose to avoid it and went to Orca Village, it might traced him to the village. That would brought an unmeasurable danger to the village. A lot of lives might lost because the location of this valley was too close to Orca Village. It might be within the hunting range of this python.

Teleport back to his villa? It was definitely out of question. He already spent a lot of time and energy to reach this point. He also had disturbed this beast already, so he was worried that it would hunted him down, or worse, the villagers. Find another way around also not a choice because he had to scale the mountains to find a new route. It might even more dangerous than facing this huge python.

Although he felt helpless, actually it wasn’t 100%. Deep within his heart, he still believe he had a chance to overturn the situation and kill this python. His brain almost overheated already, running one battle simulation after another. Although the chances were low, he had to try. He must try. Worse come to worse, he might had to lure the python into the gorge and trap it inside the tomb, then teleported out from the throne room. It was great that he retrieved the dragon pearl before he exit the tomb.

“Calm down Acma, you can do this. This is just an overgrown worm. You will use it as a fishing bait. Calm down, kill this worm and then you can rest forever”, he thought.

Acma desperately trying to calm down. While his eyes locked onto the python, wary of its movement, he unsummon his stone golem because it couldn’t help anything against the python. His next step was taking out several supreme guardians with the best attacking power. He also took out his Dragon Slayer.

“Alice, always keep your distance from this python. Only attack just to slightly distract it if I’m in dangerous situation” “Yes Master”

Acma’s best trump card was his two divine skills, Black Hole and Dimension Splitter. His other skills like Wind Blade, Earth Stomp and Poisonous Breath can be considered as worthless against the python. At most, he could used them as a distraction only. The Black Hole spell was powerful, but high tiered Black Hole might destroyed the entire mountain range, or worse destroying the Orca Village that wasn’t too far from Death Valley. It was possible because even the 1st tiered Black Hole was disastrous.

So, his other choice was Dimension Splitter, which he haven’t test its power yet.

“Okay worm, lets fight” “Wind Blade”.

Acma took an initiative to attack while the guardians took their position surrounding the python. The python ignored the guardians. It didn’t even blink at the incoming Wind Blade. It clearly looked at Acma disdainfully. Acma didn’t get discourage. He keep attacking from different angle. He even attacked the eye of the python but also with no result. It just defend its eye with closing it. Even the eyelid was strong enough to thwart off Acma’s attack. The python just coiled itself doing nothing.

After several tens of minutes, the python king moved. Several stone splinters as slender as women’s leg appeared in front of its face and then shooting towards Acma. At the same time, it slammed its tail onto the ground, executing a Stone Spike skill. A sharp stone spike immediately appeared beneath Acma’s legs. Luckily, it wasn’t fast enough because Acma was faster to move away with his Phantom Step.

Watching its prey successfully avoided its prided attack, the python started to grow restless. It increased the intensity of its attack, almost changing the texture of the valley’s surface anew. Its prey was nimble and skilfully avoided each of its attack, either by dodging or kept disappearing reappearing several tens of meters from it. If this python could talk, it must have endlessly cursing Acma to death.

Acma was getting calmer and calmer as the time grows. His confidence was increasing, just enough to clear his head. He knew, he must not let himself succumb to arrogance as it may lead him to make a mistake. Facing this python, even the smallest mistake may became a fatal mistake. He patiently waiting for his chance. He still haven’t cast any Black Hole yet.

Suddenly, the python opened up its mouth as wide as it could. An yellow coloured earthen energy congealed in front of its mouth, forming a sharp boulder. Watching that action, Acma knew that the chance he was waiting for finally arrived.

“Black Hole”. He shouted. His target was the innermost of the python’s mouth. This time, he only used the 1st tier Black Hole because inside the mouth was definitely a weak point of the python. A black sphere emerged and enlarged inside the mouth of the python, along with its destructive sucking forces.

Sensing that something was amiss, the python immediately realized that there was a black sphere with a devastating forces was gaining power inside its mouth. Instantly, it snapped and closed its mouth along with the boulder and the black sphere. Acma’s Black Hole was destroyed with just a snap of its mouth. This python was really powerful. However, a blood could be seen dripping from the corner of its mouth. That alone brought an enormous joy inside Acma’s heart as he finally managed to injure the python.

“Great, my attack finally worked. But most likely this worm won’t open its mouth anymore. Lets try a higher tier Black Hole”, muttered Acma. “Black Hole”

This time, Acma was using 2nd tier Black Hole to attack the right side of the python’s head. To kill this python, he better started with destroying its head. But, betraying Acma’s expectation, the python easily destroyed the enlarging black sphere by puncturing it with its tail. Acma was felt helpless again. Looks like his divine Black Hole have a fatal weakness, which it could easily be destroyed using a greater forces before it reached its maximum size like what this python just did.

“Damn, this worm break my spell so easily. I should find a way to eliminate this weakness when I got a chance later”, thought Acma while keeping the same distance as before.

The python was pursuing. With its speed and body length, it could easily reached Acma, forcing the latter to phantom stepping multiple times, sometimes in succession. Acma already tried to lead it to slam its head on the cliff, but the hardness of its skin was unbelievable. It easily tore a hole on the cliff wall.

“Alice, restrict its tail for a moment”, he ordered. At the same time as the guardians grabbed the tail, “Black Hole”

Acma targeted the head again. The python didn’t have enough time to use its tail as it path was obstructed by the guardians. So, instead of using its tail, it wriggled its head, closed its eyes and slammed the enlarging black sphere. It successfully destroyed it again without sustaining any injuries.

“Damn”, he cursed. He already wasted a good amount of his mana without any desirable effect. This python was really powerful. Acma knew that he could not prolong the fight any longer. He must finish the fight as soon as possible. He raised his blade high above his head and ready to use his another divine skill. “Dimension Splitter”, he said the name as he swung his blade downwards.

A dimension tear appeared beneath the body of the python. In a glance, it look harmless. But, as the clock ticking, the python seem struggling to escape from some invisible forces, formed by the tear. The tear appeared to be about 100 metres wide and 300 metres long. After 10 seconds, the tear disappeared without leaving any destruction trail. Not even a pebble was gone. Looks like this divine skill was nature friendly.

The python was uninjured, but it definitely pissed off.

Although his 1st tier Dimension Splitter attack failed, Acma’s eyes was glittered from excitement. He had a certain ideas on how this Dimension Splitter worked. He immediately initiated his next move.

“Alice, launch me to the sky”, ordered Acma as he lunged himself toward a guardian with a great axe and jumped. The guardian swung the blunt side of its axe and propelled Acma several hundred metres into the sky.

When he reached the maximum height, Acma readied his Dragon Slayer high above his head and began the process to unleashed his current deadliest attack, 2nd tier Dimension Splitter.

“DIMENSION SPLITTER !!!”

He slashed down his blade toward the pursuing python. As soon as he finished casting the skill, a strong gravity appeared beneath his feet, pushing down the python strongly to the ground. It tried to resist with all its might to escape, but to no avail. At the same time as the gravity appeared, 300 metres wide and 700 metres long dimension tear appeared beneath the body of the python. The tear have a great sucking effect, adding the effect of the gravity. The python was perfectly trapped, unable to do anything.

The python wailed and hissed continuously. A good part of its body already sunken into the dimension tear while numerous wounds appeared on other part of its body, due to the massive pressing force of gravity. It clearly suffered from this attack.

Acma use a Blink skill to distance himself several hundred metres from the python. He was excited. He never thought that 2nd tier of Dimension Splitter was this powerful. He was extremely satisfied with the effect of this divine skill and he waited patiently for the python to die.

Suddenly,

‘Craaaaaaack’ ‘Craaaaaaack’ ‘Boom’

“WHAT !!!!” “SHIIIIIIIIIITTT !!!!”

Before the skill could fatally injured the python, Acma’s Dragon Slayer shattered, thus halted the skill’s effect from fully materialized. The previously sunken part of the python body, bounced back to the ground, only with some light injury.

Sawa, the king of python was extremely lucky today. It could keep its life for another day. Although, it still keeping its life, its body was heavily injured. Blood was gushing out from the wounds like a broken water hose. It wriggled its body, trying to alleviate some of the pain, but the pain was still there. Fighting the pain, it turned its attention to the wretch human who injured it, who was still staring at the hilt of his shattered blade like an idiot. Never crossed its mind that this little creature was capable of injuring its body, the body that never been scratched for thousands of years. Anger, rage boiled up its remaining blood. It must kill this little creature, it must.

As for Acma, he was gobsmacked and still couldn’t register what happened just now. In his mind, a voice kept ringing, telling him that his current weapon, his Dragon Slayer was capable of unleashing the Dimension Splitter to 2nd tier. He felt betrayed, Void lied to him. He shouldn’t blindly believe Void. He should test the skill earlier, not at this critical times.

“Master, we must run”

A worried voice woke him up, pulling him back to the reality. From the moment his blade shattered until Alice called him, it was just a mere 2 seconds. In that 2 seconds, Acma was stunned when he couldn’t believe that his blade was shattered. In that 2 seconds, Acma was actually gambling his live because in a battle of life and death, he shouldn’t let anything disturbed his mind away from the battle. Let alone a mere blade shattering. This was a prove that Acma should tempered his mind harder so he could became a better warrior.

In front of him, the python king was fast approaching head first with its jaws wide opened. It wanted to swallow him whole.

“Alice, plan Z, RUUUUUUUNNNNNNN !!!”, he turned his body and instantly sprinting to the gorge as fast as he could, followed by his lovely fairy and its controlled guardians.
