BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 117: Hunting!
Evan gritted his teeth, refusing to give up or let pain and frustration cloud his judgment.
Despite the excruciating experience of fighting multiple soul cultivators with his soul pockets sealed, he was determined to see this through to the best of his abilities.
This battle would only end with one side dying, and he was ready to do whatever it takes to ensure that it wasn\'t him.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand before rising to his feet. Despite the ghastly appearance of the attack, it was merely murky water lacking in density and ferocity. It was not at all similar to a water-type soul skill. Thus, although he had taken the attack head-on, he had not suffered significant harm, which could be attributed to his sturdy physique.
Kian barked out, "Enzo, take him down!"
Enzo\'s response was immediate, and his eagerness was palpable as he replied, "With pleasure."
He raised his javelin, and water began to rise from the tips of his toes, swirling and spiraling upwards, forming a dangerous vortex of water around him.
Evan could see that it was condensing into a powerful soul skill slowly but steadily.
\'I need to do something to survive. But what?\'
What exactly can he do in this situation to save his life?
Evan\'s mind raced, and he settled upon doing the unthinkable.
"Level up,"
[1500 EXP has been consumed!]
[You have advanced to the peak of the Soul Manifestation Realm. Your 13th soul pocket is unlocked.]
His 13th soul pocket remained unaffected by Liam\'s curse. It signified that what Evan thought was right. Liam\'s curse wasn\'t like a plague that could spread.
Carrying on with his plan, Evan reached into his inventory and retrieved a dazzling yet tiny soul energy crystal. The small soul crystal was concealed in his palm, so the triplets didn\'t notice anything out of the ordinary.
The soul refinement skill was activated, and the energy of the crystal was instantly extracted and dumped into his 13th soul pocket, filling it to the brim.
It all happened in what seemed like an instant.
While the quantity of the soul energy wasn\'t much, with only 100 units at his disposal, it was enough to give him a fighting chance. He needed to be quick and nimble to evade the upcoming attack, and the extra energy would help him do just that!
"Try to dodge this. I dare you!"
Enzo\'s javelin glowed with a piercing blue light as he aimed it at Evan.
"Blizzard Spear Style: Second Form - Water Javelin: Water Dragon\'s Wrath!"
As he spoke, Enzo thrust his Javelin forward, and from its tip emerged a water dragon with long whiskers extending from its face. The dragon\'s scales shimmered, reflecting the moonlight that filtered through the gaps in the canopies overhead. Its eyes blazed with a deadly gleam as it emitted a thunderous roar, baring its razor-sharp teeth and hurtling towards Evan at lightning speed, leaving a trail of sparkling blue droplets in the air.
As the dragon closed in, the corner of Evan\'s mouth curled up. He moved quicker than a cheetah on Red Bull and melted into his own shadow, disappearing from sight.
The dragon, unable to change direction, crashed headfirst into a towering tree, and the sound was louder than a DJ concert. The old trunk shattered like a glass vase, and splinters went flying everywhere. The surrounding area went quieter than a library during finals week, as the debris rained down like confetti.
Where had he disappeared to?
The triplets looked as confused as a chameleon in a bag of Skittles.
The smartest of the triplets swiftly pulled out the radar from his pocket. As he examined the map projected on its screen, he noticed a peculiar occurrence. A blue dot appeared to overlap with his own location on the map. It was signaling the presence of something ominous beneath them.
Liam immediately grasped the gravity of the situation and panicked.
He opened his mouth, wanting to exclaim, "Enzo, teleport me now, hurry!"
But before he could speak, Evan sprang out of his shadow like a fish out of water and sneered, "Too late!"
His sword was already hurtling toward Liam\'s body.
Killing Liam first was the smartest move. After all, eliminating the source would break the curse that bound him!
Evan\'s sword made contact, and Liam felt a sharp pain as it pierced his chest, threatening to strike his heart, but just as the blade was about to sink deeper, Liam vanished, replaced by a black serpent with countless tiny wings.
It was the handiwork of Enzo, and it all happened so fast that Evan was caught off guard.
The winged serpent flapped its numerous pairs of small wings and struck, sinking its venomous fangs into his flesh.
"The black mamba isn\'t native to these swamps. I brought it with me. Its venom is lethal to Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivators, capable of paralyzing them in an instant. It\'s my trump card in case I encounter someone like you, Your Highness. You\'ve lost to me. Once the venom invades your system, you won\'t be able to move." Enzo revealed to Evan,
As if he had heard a joke, Evan chuckled darkly, his lips curling into a wry smirk.
"Is that so?" He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You think a little snake like that can take me down? You really have no idea who you\'re dealing with, do you?"
The type of poison that could kill Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivators could only be classified as low-level, and Evan had a unique type of Minor Poison Resistance that made him impervious to over 200 poisons and granted him the ability to refine low-level poisons. Therefore, the venom of the black mamba was useless against him!
ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom Enzo\'s eyes widened, threatening to pop out of his sockets, as something unbelievably shocking happened.
Despite being bitten by the serpent, Evan remained unaffected by its venom. Enzo couldn\'t believe what he was seeing.
