Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Trial Complete (234)

The mesmerising flames started spreading like wildfire on the white snake's body.

Instantly, the dusty and spacious chappel was lit up by the flames, the dull walls reflecting the light everywhere.

The snake screeched in pain, letting go of Kai instantly as he had been the one gripped with the very end of the beasts body.

Grinning madly, Kai ignored the pain running through in body in favour of hopping backwards a few steps, putting a little distance between him and the oversized snake.

At same time, the snake was flailing around madly, the amount of flames on its body quickly growing by the second.

The flames were one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen, even when they were engulfing the body of such a harrowing beast like the snake, it looked like a painting straight out of a renaissance era artist, the sight was just too breathtaking.

However, it was only then that Kai realised the fault in his plan.

The snake had let go of him because it had been holding him with the end of its tail, the very end of its body.

Petunia and Cecilia, however, were being gripped much further up the snake's body.

And the devastatingly beautiful flames that were currently encasing the snake were currently rushing towards them.

Cursing, Kai dashed towards where the two of them were being held. He tried to stay as far away from the flames as possible in case they accidently spread to him.

At the same time, a large wolf emerged from his shadow and a Ruby blade launched itself like a missile it the snake's body.

Esurient pierced the flesh of the snake, but barely. The scales covering its body were much stronger than it had anticipated, so it only ended up digging its tip into its flesh.

Still, the beast's grip on Petunia and Cecilia weakened.

Then, Umbra jumped up and sank her fangs into the beast's tough body.

Even though the wolf hadn't gained a single level since leaving the Dome, she could still deal some real damage if she needed to.

One, she got ten percent of all Kai's stats, meaning her Strength had a solid boost, and two, Bite of Umbra dealt triple damage when she was near Kai and surrounded by shadows.

And even though the snake's entire body was being lit up by the flames slowly eating away at it, there was plenty of shadows to go around.

Her fangs sank into the flesh of the snake, but it still did not deal any meaningful damage to the beast, it was just too tough.

Realising that biting it wouldn't work, Umbra used Concise Claws and began slowly chipping away at the beast. Kai still had no idea how the skill actually worked, but luckily his furry familiar did.

Throughout all this, Petunia and Cecilia were squirming, trying to weaken the grip the snake had on it a little bit.

And their attempts could be considered successful considering that the snake's grip on them was slowly loosening.

Finally, Kai activated Mana Surge. Instantly, he felt his arms swell with newfound power. His muscles throbbed, aching for some sort of release.

And they were luckily just about to get some.

Kai jumped up into the air and began rapidly punching the body of the snake.

Each hit against the armoured scales made his knuckles ache, but luckily the light gauntlets of his armour offered him some form of protection, lessening the pain ever so slightly.
