Chapter 1072 Payback
Accompanied by Klea, Emery had spent 10 days in total on this island and he had finally gathered all the ingredients he needed, meaning he was free to return to his spirit cave any time he wanted.
However, he wouldn’t do that without doing one more thing, his one last goal on this island.
Only when he finally defeated the legendary creature would Emery finally leave.
He had been keeping track of the Naga to avoid it for a few days now, so he knew exactly where the creature was currently at. Now that he was ready to finally tackle this towering challenge, Emery made their way toward the legendary creature.
Before long, Emery together with Klea, Twik, and 64 Jade Warriors in the Hexagram technique formation stood tall in front of a certain cave entrance. The next second, Klea opened her mouth and shouted with all her might into the mouth of the cave.
“HEY! Ugly slimy creature! We are here!”
The group didn’t have to wait for long, as an ear-piercing screeching sound came out from the cave sweeping over them.
Kreeeekkkk!!
The first that rushed out of the cave were the 12 Lizard beasts, dashing toward Emery’s group with bloodthirsty frenzy. Right behind them, from within the darkness of the cave, a towering silhouette could be seen.
The 5-meter giant Naga made its appearance from behind the pack of Lizard beasts, as if it was the king.
“There you are,” said Emery calmly. “Sorry to keep you waiting. I am finally ready to take you down now.”
Immediately after, the 64 Jade Warriors standing in front of Emery split into two groups and went in two different directions. Turned out that the Naga understood what the latter was trying to do as it commanded its 12 Lizards and sent them in two directions as well, while slowly slithering over to the center where Emery was, glaring at the puny human.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Klea asked with a concerned look, to which Emery nodded in response, before leaving and giving Emery and the Naga space for their upcoming fight.
Knowing very well that his Jade Warriors – which were vastly stronger than Mineralized Warrior – would be able to hold the 12 Lizards even without the help of Klea, Emery could be at ease and focus his entire mind on the Naga.
“Night Transformation!”
This time, roughly knowing what the other side was capable of, Emery came prepared for a brawl with the legendary creature. In a matter of seconds, dark fur appeared on various parts of his body, turning his appearance to that of a huge wolf. A pair of three razor-sharp blades shot out from his dark-furred arms, gleaming menacingly under the light.
Swissshhh
Two figures of different stature shot at each other with incredible speed, and the intense clash that ensued left neither of them unscathed.
Emery could actually do this the smart way, but there was a particular urge within wanting him to directly unleash hell on the legendary monster. Therefore, he threw all inhibitions and continued to throw attacks upon the Naga, which the latter retaliated with the same intensity.
Numerous holes appeared on the ground while dirt and dust flew about as the two of them continued hitting and smashing each other. Intense killing intent could be felt in their figures.
The wolf’s crimson blood and the Naga’s white blood contrasted each other greatly on the ground. However, despite the staggering amount of blood originating from the two, both looked as if nothing had happened because the wounds had been healed by their monstrous regeneration ability.
Even though [Spirit Devour] possessed lesser effect on the Naga, Emery still used it as each cut he managed to make would still devour the creature’s energy bit by bit. That way, before long, it would be defeated.
Krieeeekkkk!!
After 20 minutes of non-stop fighting, it seemed that the Naga had finally reached its limit as it gasped in pain.
The current situation completely tipped its favor against the legendary creature; this time, it was the Naga who realized its pack of Lizards were losing ground against the army of Jade Warriors, each dying within minutes.
Realizing that its defeat would be a matter of time if nothing was done, the Naga used a skill that came with an ear-piercing high-pitched screech that shook the trees in the surrounding area. In an instant, Emery knew what it was trying to do.
“You are calling for help, aren’t you?!”
Emery immediately used his Spirit Reading, and with that, he could sense some disturbance in the distance. Several more Lizard beasts that were in the immediate vicinity of the Naga’s cave had come out of their habitats and rushed towards their location.
There were ten… twenty Lizard beasts.
Although this approaching group of adversaries could be a good challenge to test and see the true abilities of his Jade Warriors, Emery also couldn’t help but worry about Klea having to face them.
Fortunately, the girl seemed to understand as she decided to summon her Thunderbird and took to the air, providing support to the fight on the ground from the air.
Knowing that the number on his side would not add up with the enemies, Emery broke away from the Naga and put his hand on the ground, creating 20 green wolves – Type 2 Jade Warrior – from the ground.
The command he gave to them was to split the Lizard reinforcements in two, giving more space and time to his 64 Jade Warriors to defeat their opponents.
Afterward, once again Emery turned his attention to the Naga saying, “You just give me more reason to finish you faster. Be prepared!”
The battle unfolding within the Misty Mountains was a ferocious one. More and more Lizard beasts came out of the surrounding caves with each passing minute, attacking Emery’s Jade Warriors upon the Naga’s order.
He had been forced to pause his aggression on the legendary creature time and time again due to the need to replace the fallen Jade Warriors. Even so, throughout the entire two hours of the fight, Emery’s side was always on the winning side, until the Naga finally decided to retreat into its cave.
Unfortunately, the legendary beast didn’t have space magic like Emery.
Emery stopped him from going back to its cave, and in the end, fell under Emery’s claws with its essence devoured completely, turning its huge body into an empty husk.
It took him an entire minute to completely devour the Naga, and by the time he was done, the fight between the Jade Warriors and the Lizard beasts was also over, with the former being the victor. He then proceeded to spend a few more minutes devouring all the Lizard beast corpses lying in the area.
With the corpse of the last Lizard beast turning decrepit, Emery finally won the battle.
A moment later, he sat down in the lotus position as he had accumulated too much spirit energy within a short period of time. Closing his eyes, he quickly absorbed the energy he devoured into his cores.
[Spirit force has increased]
[Spirit force has increased]
…
When he opened his eyes again, Emery discovered that he had obtained a total of 13 spirit force from ten days of harvesting.
[Spirit force: 1623]
“All done?” Klea asked, and Emery nodded. “Let go!”
Emery cast [Spatial Gate] for them to exit the mountains, and then used the orbiter to fly towards the tempering facility. Upon arriving, they immediately made their way to the dwarf master’s workshop.
Even though surprised, Master Dulin was delighted to see that Emery was able to provide the materials he needed much faster than expected. Just like before, he was paid 100,000 spirit stones for gathering the herbs.
Keeping the ingredients safely, the dwarf master turned to Emery and said.
“Do you want to have your second body tempering today?”
