Chapter 423: Chapter 347: I’ll Take Over the Battlefield

A brilliant white light flared.

After a period of intense concentration, the Four Level Multi-layered Spell Structure Magic Adrian had been constructing was finally fully charged.

He pointed his Magic Wand.

A massive, cylindrical ring of light descended upon the battlefield of interwoven light and shadow.

The halo of light within the cylindrical ring was hazy, filled with a sacred and solemn aura.

At first, its diameter was dozens of meters wide, nearly encompassing the Shadow Dragon Snake’s entire range of movement.

But soon, the cylindrical ring began to shrink rapidly under the influence of Magic Power.

Furthermore, its center was locked firmly onto the Shadow Dragon Snake’s head.

As the Ring of Light continued to shrink, the energy within was compressed, causing the light to grow ever more brilliant.

Finally, when its diameter had shrunk to about five meters...

A blinding beam of light, like a sharp sword tearing through the heavens, shot down from above and struck the Shadow Serpent Head!

Four Level Multi-layered Spell Structure Magic—Coronal Waymark!

"VMMMMMMMM...!"

A high-frequency energy resonance echoed.

The beam carried a powerful purifying effect, completely scattering the black mist that shrouded the Shadow Serpent Head.

The protective shadow that flowed like black gauze was dissolved along with it.

Bathed in the locked-on light of the Coronal Waymark, the Shadow Dragon Snake felt only an intensely searing pain.

Its Snake Scales shattered and its flesh vaporized. Like a vampire thrown into the sunlight, it was being scorched by the blazing heat!

Zelir, who was busy plastering the Frost Dragon Snake’s head with Fractal Fire, couldn’t help but glance over.

His expression was one of awe as he witnessed the pillar of light descend from the sky to strike.

’Wow...’

’A Four Level Multi-layered Spell Structure Magic of the Light Element, just as I expected.’

’It looks like a Railgun from some sci-fi movie, striking directly from space.’

’This battle against the Nine-headed Dragon Snake is proving to be quite fruitful!’

In the rear, Zanxi, who was responsible for observation and recording, was also watching in constant amazement.

’The battle between a "Cruelty" grade Demon and an elite human squad is truly a sight to behold.’

’The squad in the left cave has undoubtedly contributed the most.’

’Zelir, in particular, single-handedly took two of the Frost Dragon Snake’s lives.’

’Adrian Squad has also performed well, completing their mission to suppress the Shadow Dragon Snake without holding the team back.’

’As for Kilian’s squad...’

’Although their members are the strongest on paper, their performance in actual combat is another story.’

’Because Rolin couldn’t suppress the Flame Serpent Head right away, Zelir’s squad had to take on additional pressure.’

’Thankfully, Zelir held his ground!’

Zanxi looked at the current situation and breathed a small sigh of relief.

’The battle should be nearing its end, right?’

Zanxi observed the scene carefully.

’Those three special serpent heads... they all seem to be dead.’

...

’...Wait...’

’Something’s wrong...’

Zelir’s brow furrowed. He sensed something was off.

The Frost Dragon Snake before him had let out a long shriek before crashing to the ground, motionless.

’I only hit it with two more blasts of Fractal Fire. Did it die that quickly?’

’Shouldn’t it have struggled a little longer?’

’Jump up and try to take a bite out of me?’

Meanwhile, Gray and the others had just moved to support Marcus.

Just as they were preparing to engage an ordinary Dragon Snake, it suddenly went limp like a spineless rope, losing its earlier ferocity.

It was the same in the central and right-hand caves.

Both the Shadow Dragon Snake and the Flaming Dragon Snake had lost their will to fight to the death.

They collapsed limply, their impacts shaking the ground.

"Are they... dead?"

Gray stared uncertainly at the massive Dragon Snakes collapsed on the ground.

Valles was just as confused.

For a moment, the situation was bewildering.

"No... they’re not dead."

Zelir’s expression shifted as he sensed the change.

’It’s just like when the Flaming Dragon Snake transferred Magic Power to the Frost Dragon Snake.’

’Now, all nine Dragon Snakes are pouring their Magic Power into one of their own, like rivers flowing to the sea.’

’And the Dragon Snake receiving this infusion isn’t the Frost, Flame, or Shadow one...’

Adrian and Rolin also sensed something was amiss.

With the keen Perception of Mages, they detected the flow of Magic Power and both looked toward the same spot.

In the Central Cave, the Dragon Snake beside the Shadow Head.

It had originally been just an ordinary Dragon Snake.

But now, under the convergence of all that Magic Power, it was taking on another form.

A ferocious aura spread out once more, making everyone’s hearts pound in their chests.

’Since you humans came prepared, perfectly countering every one of my Attributes...’

’...Then I’ll just create a completely different serpent head!’

This was the Nine-headed Dragon Snake’s final gamble, an all-or-nothing bet.

It was gathering all of its remaining Power to forcibly catalyze the premature evolution of a special serpent head that would normally require a long time to develop.

Flame Head, Frost Head, Lightning Head, Poison Head, Rock Head, Gale Head, Shadow Head, Spirit Head.

Of all these evolutionary paths, the Nine-headed Dragon Snake... chose the Rock Head!

In an instant, the ordinary Dragon Snake, now infused with Magic Power, began to convulse.

"CRACK... CRUNCH CRUNCH..."

A series of sharp cracks echoed from within its body as bones and scales shattered and reformed.

Its originally smooth, grayish-black scales rapidly turned an earthen yellow.

The thickness of its Snake Scales also increased rapidly, soon stacking upon one another like plates of rock.

Ancient patterns, like cracks in parched earth, appeared on their surface.

Its golden Snake Eyes turned a murky brown.

Even the very skeletal structure of the serpent’s head was forcibly transformed and restructured by this violent Power.
