Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 88: Running away...

Teng! Teng! Teng!

Sparks fluttered about as Blood Drinker collided with the sharp metallic scales of purplish sharp scales. Whittaker left hand supported the back of the handle while his right hand supported the middle area of the sword surface that faced his face. Furthermore, his body was bend, such that his upper body was horizontal to the ground. This was the perfect stance otherwise, his fingers and face would have been chopped into pieces by the scale of the magical beast.

On the other hand, the Frost spellbook released an icy flicker and shot a Frost bolt to the side. After the Frost Bolt reached some distance away, Whittaker shouted Frost elemental shift and switched places with the Frost Bolt. The amethyst silhouette of a beast instantly fell to the ground and let out a hiss, tongue waging about in a threatening manner, as it focused its gaze on the large surrounding, trying to locate its meal.

Several meters away, behind a thick tree, a snowy-haired boy carefully studied the insidious beast that has attacked him. Curiosity was a common nature found in every young boy, Whittaker was no exception. Reflected in his crystal icy eyes flickering with mana was the majestical figure of a 10-meter tall beast whose body was wider than his waist. Its dark purple triangular snakehead towered tall, held upon it was a golden horn with mystical runes.

At the same time, a system notification popped up,

[Magical beast: Venomous Dragon-Scaled Horned Python.

Rank: A 7-star magical beast with the bloodline of a Black Dragon. Its combating ability far exceeds 10-star beasts. Make a run for it.

Attribute: Poison

Innate ability: Poison breath, ???, lunge, Dragon-Scale, ???, enhanced senses, ???]

Beasts with a power level of 1-2 stars are classified as F-ranked magical beasts. 2-4 star beasts are classified as E-ranked magical beasts. 4-6.99 star beasts are classified as D-ranked beasts, above that power level are magical beasts that can only be defeated by a team of C-ranked awakened. Also, the beasts he was facing has such a strong defense that Whittaker Blood Drinker only made some dents on the purplish scales of the Horned Python.

'Blood Drinker couldn't penetrate its defense. Furthermore, this is the second time that the system has warned me. Also, there's no way that I will be able to put up a fight with it, It's freaking huge!' he thought in astonishment while breathing silently to calm his frantic heart.

The magical beast had a strong sense of smell, hence It didn't take long to sniff out the young boy, who leaned on the thick trunk of a tree nearby and was gazing at him. 

A smirk formed on the magical beast face as it gazed right in his direction, in the very moment, Whittaker felt threatened; for a pair of purplish eyes with vertical slit looked straight at him, right after, poisonous battle energy started to bubble up in the mouth of the Venomous Dragon-Scaled Horn python. 

[Guardian, it's charging up its innate ability, Poison Breath, make a run for it otherwise, you will melt away!] 

[Poison Breath (AOE): The Horned-Python breaths out venom in an arc in front of him, which creates toxic clouds that spear far and wide in the surrounding. The toxic cloud has the property to melt the skins and bones of anyone in the cloud. Low-level mana and battle energy shielding are ineffective against the venom clouds!]

A voice resounded beside Whittaker's ears, and he reacted immediately by shouting out Frost Bolt. The Frost Spellbook, hidden from Its sight by the thick and towering tree, shined with an icy light and shot out a Frost Bolt upwards.

The young snowy-haired boy thought, 'Since the beast doesn't have wings, the safest place will be the skies!'

Although the forest was covered in a cloud of mist, his Devansha eyes could see through them, he has seen no danger in the skies, so that's the place he chooses to go. Several seconds later, the horned python breath out venom in Whittaker directions, instantly venom clouds were created, swallowing everything in its way. The venom clouds overwrite the cloudy mist of the nearby surrounding. Everything in its path melted away, be it the trees or the grassy ground. All the fauna of this place was also corrupted when the venom clouds graced them with a touch. As they reached Whittaker, he shouted Frost elemental shift and switched places with the Frost Bolt that has gone well beyond 15-meters into the skies.

Right after, the venom clouds swallowed the place where he was once standing, melting the frost bolt while Whittaker found himself high up in the air. Right away, with a single thought, Whittaker activated the Flight ability of his Azure-sky earrings and went even high up the skies.

"See ya later, big baddy. You can eat the leftover dust!" While flying away, he stuck his tongue out at the ten meters tall Venomous Dragon-Scaled horned python, but the battle was far from over.

The horned python hissed in amusement, a dazzling golden light shone from in-between the mystical symbol inscribed on its golden horn. Following that, the golden light instantly expanded downward from his horns and spread to the scales on the backside of its body.

Two purplish dark-gold wings glinting with a shiny purplish hue formed on its back. When they flapped it started to fly, right away, it chases after Whittaker, who witnessed it all with the help of Devansha's eyes.

[The Venomous Dragon-Scaled Horned Python has used its bloodline ability, Scaled Wing of Dusk!] A system notification popped up in his vision.

"It isn't just humans who can use bloodline abilities but also magical beasts!" This simple notification caused Whittaker to have a completely new understanding of magical beasts. 

The beast was two times faster than Whittaker. He instantly utilized the third ability of the Azure-Sky earring, Boost Speed to increase his flying speed by 100%, almost immediately, he shouted the names of many Frost spell.

[Frost Bolt]...[Winter's breath]...[Frost shield]

Each time he shouted the name of a Frost Spell, his Frost spellbook would shine with an icy glint, and obstructions will be created for the magical beast.
