Chapter 259 (2/2)

While my supply of aether was abundant thanks to the crystals hoarded in this cavern, uess we have no choice

Now that I knew inflicting da to slow it down, the only option was to aim for its head The problem was that its head here its serrated pincers were and it also seemed to be the area most heavily armored by its translucent purple exoskeleton

I would need to land both attacks using Gauntlet Forh to crack through its defenses

Stepping off of one of its legs, I landed on theup the s onto its back wasn’t a challenge, but staying on as it reeled like a drunk stallion proved to be iant s to try and skewer me atop its own back Still, as is, I was able to avoid the sharp legs that stabbed down fro on ReadReadNovelFullonlinecoites that seg with the fact that thee I hadn’t faced in a while I

Cracks and splinters branched out from where my fist connected while the entire top of its head had becois wobbled out of my hand, his expression strained, while I unleashed another wave of aether throughouttwo lifetiht me…

My body erupted in a veil of purple as I struck down at the epicenter of the splintering crater atop thecrack echoed upon i theht fist was a bloodied mess as I pulled it out froed, I contemplated whether to hit it one more time The millipede remained lifeless on its belly, a crater foris asked, his voice hoarse

Just as I turned back to my companion, the surface beneath my feet ept up froiant beast, helplessly watching as the serrated is

My eyes widened at the sight of the floating black orb disappearing inside the millipede, and it took every last ounce of self-control to keepout his na myself, I landed onto avoid a barrage of sharp legs raining down from above

The millipede towered overits hundreds of legs Each tiround but s and looking out for Regis

Regis was corporeal, capable of going through most objects but I couldn’t see my companion at all My panic deepened as a n of the black will-o-wisp

It wasn’t until another iant is to launch an attack strong enough to kill this giant bug Without him, would I be able to win?

A sharp pain erupted as one of the ash on h to collect ic, I had not only trained with the sword extensively in my previous life, but I had trained in combat with Asuras

I forced ainst Kordri—the oppressive aura that he emanated so casually, the movements that seemed both slow and fast

Asuras They were is for every strong opponent I faced down here, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to beat the scythes, let alone the asuras behind theht back to Kordri’s words As he said, hand-to-hand co Except, his duty at that time was to maximize the potential of my human body

I wasn’t so hus blurred as I continuously danced around the piercing strikes of the ree

Let’s hope this works

Because the e for me to actually hold as a weapon, I had to break off the sharp tip of its leg for me to be able to use it

The millipede let out a shrill wail as it cla the translucent purple leg like a lance, I tested outas the chimera’s weapons but it would be sufficient It had to be

I had to land a clean hit on the wound at the back of its head where I had struck with Gauntlet Fored bull

My mind spun until the ether popped into my head It was able to release this concussive aura that knocked us back that was almost able to knock me unconscious

It was uncertain if I would be able to replicate its effects but I was running out of ti the aured I could spend about seventy percent on trying to stun it and the rest on landing the attack

“Please, let this work,” Ithe aether froe of aether, but I didn’t stop there

After waiting for the millipede to draw near, I allowed the aether within h that thin threshold that was ed purple
