Great Demon King [45-???]

Chapter 232 - 243

Chapter 232 – Lewd Dragon, Lewd Snake

A terrible stench along with a powerful presence came crashing down even before the hydra arrived.

Han Shuo was unable to capture the hydra's figure even through the three yin demons. However, he was still able to speculate its approximate location due to the odd changes in the wind.

As the hydra flew over, the clear ponds in the surrounding area were instantly polluted, turning them into gutters that spat out foul odors. The wet ground also slowly became unusually dry, revealing a dark brown color. It seemed like the surroundings were affected by the hydra's abilities.

Han Shuo summoned the Demonslayer Edge, and made his preparations with Gilbert as the hydra approached. He planned on unleashing an unforgettable strike the moment the hydra closed in.

The stench in the air gradually grew worse and worse. Han Shuo had been resting with his eyes closed but became briefly disoriented when he inhaled the revolting aroma. Upon filtering the air with his magical yuan however, his body swiftly returned to normal.

As a member of the dark dragon tribe, Gilbert's physical body was powerful, and he was capable of spitting poison. Furthermore, the natural resistance of a dragon's body was strong enough that the fetid poisonous gas could not affect him.

Suddenly, the hydra's moving figure seemed to stop beside a tree that reached towards the skies. The wind currents also stabilized and stopped changing. The hydra seemed to have landed there.

Han Shuo was shocked. Just as he was wondering why the hydra didn't approach, four waves of dark brown liquid spurted out like a fountain towards the tree that Han Shuo and Gilbert were sitting in.

A noxious stink instantly filled the air. Unusually rancid, when the magical beasts in the area inhaled this putrid stench, their bodies straightened and abruptly froze.

Higher leveled magical beasts like the harpy and two windblade wolves all ran away in a panic after scenting the stinking air. None of them dared to stick around. They clearly knew of the terrifying danger present in their surroundings.

After cursing under their breath, Han Shuo and Gilbert instantly shifted. Gilbert leaped and landed on a tree even further away, while Han Shuo rose into a high vantage point in the sky.

While he rapidly flew up, Han Shuo took the opportunity to chant necromancy spells, summoning the little skeleton and earth elite zombie at the same time, who organized themselves with great teamwork. The little skeleton took up a position beside Han Shuo, while the earth elite zombie hid into the ground.

The branches of the tree that Han Shuo and Gilbert stayed on shuddered when the four waves of dark brown liquid splashed onto it. All the blooming leaves wilted almost instantly, and only a dessicated trunk was left of the once towering tree, It was as if it had experienced a long period of drought.

"Hydra, you've finally appeared!" Han Shuo laughed coldly in the sky and launched an attack with the little skeleton. The bone knife and Demonslayer Edge flew directly towards the concealed hydra.

Gilbert's roar also sounded out from the side at the same time. In human form, he gradually grew in a ball of black light, finally turning into his dark dragon form. He rushed towards the hydra with his claws and fangs and shouted in a resounding voice, "Despicable hydra, you will pay!"

The concealed hydra plainly didn't think that Han Shuo and Gilbert could find its tracks. Han Shuo's Demonslayer Edge and the bone knife had already connected with its body before it was able to react.

A sharp scream tore through the silent sky. After getting injured, the hydra's enormous body was no longer concealed. Coiled atop a sky-reaching tree, it was completely exposed to Han Shuo and Gilbert.
