Chapter 112: Slaying the snake together
When the Medusa slowly emerged from the swamp, Han Shuo discovered that it was even bigger than he’d imagined. Its hair full of small snakes was waving wildly as they extended in dance. Its serpentine lower body was as thick as a bucket, and its body was five or six meters long.
“Everyone be careful, I think the Medusa is ready to leave the swamp to hunt.” Han Shuo could clearly see the Medusa’s movements through the observations of his original demons and he immediately warned everyone.
“Bad guy, bad guy, big bad guy!” A scream rang out from his arms after Han Shuo’s alarmed words and the beautiful and pure elven maiden in his arms started erupting in violent action, railing her small fists into Han Shuo’s chest, accompanied by a look of panic.
Seeing that the female elf had regained her senses, Han Shuo immediately stopped holding her as the Demonslayer Edge abruptly appeared in his hand. His eyes calmly patrolled the four corners as he planned on finding an appropriate location to fight the Medusa.
“What, what do you want to do?” The elven maiden was greatly startled as she thought Han Shuo wanted to kill her. She took two steps back in a panic, a magic staff suddenly appearing in her hand and sent a sharp blade of wind hurtling towards Han Shuo’s head with a magical incantation.
“Damn it, what are you attacking me for?” Han Shuo immediately roared furiously at this elf after he dodged it.
However, it looked like the elven maiden was even more irate than Han Shuo. She was staring at Han Shuo with extreme enmity and also said huffily, “What did you do to me just now?”
The hungry Medusa had obviously lost its patience when it saw that no prey had entered the swamp. Its colossal body moved swiftly within the swamp and drew close to Han Shuo’s group.
Han Shuo didn’t have the time to waste with the female elf at this moment and beckoned quickly with his hand when he saw the female elven archer Nia walk over from the distance. He pointed at the clueless elven maiden and said, “Explain everything to her.”
“Huh. Go to hell.” Trunks snorted coldly as a longsword once again appeared in his hand. However, it wasn’t the broadsword that had been chipped by the Demonslayer Edge.
Trunks’ body was surrounded by milky-white aura and a gust of flying sand and small rocks exploded towards the small snakes approaching him, swiftly making for the Medusa. On the other side, a figure dashed out like lightning. It was the manticore who had long been lying in wait. It maintained the same speed as Trunks and shot towards the Medusa.
Han Shuo remained unmoving where he stood, closing his eyes instead and manipulating the Demonslayer Edge with all his concentration. The small snakes that covered the Medusa’s head all screamed as they one by one, turned into a bloody rain that filled the sky. The indestructible Demonslayer Edge reaped the life of one small snake after another and chopped off half of the Medusa’s small snakes in the span of an instant.
The other adventurers in the distance all surged out from the back when they saw that the Medusa had no avenue of retreat and was heavily injured. Even more attacks appeared with their combined efforts. Trunks and the manticore were even more fierce as they directly challenged the Medusa. Trunks had turned into a cloud of milky-white aura and his every move caused the Medusa’s blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
Ranked on the same level as the Medusa, the manticore circled the Medusa on the ground and dashed to and fro. Its claws, that were as sharp as blades, left injuries on the Medusa so deep that bone could be seen. When all of the small snakes on the Medusa’s head had been executed by Han Shuo’s Demonslayer Edge, the Medusa’s struggles suddenly became quite listless and its writhing body suddenly became quiet.
