<h4>Chapter 43: Bloody</h4>


    —Roar!!!!!!


    —Ahhhh!!!


    —Ahhhh!!!!


    The giant serpent, enraged by the Arrows being shot at it from different directions swooped down, and grabbed a handful of hunters in its mouth.


    "F*cking beast, die!!!!" Just as it did that,mander ric got riled up. He extended his hand forward and made a few hand gestures, making the massive sword to twist and sh down at the head of the giant serpent.


    "Useless" watching this attack barreling down towards her, Liana smirked. The snake was previously only 10% under her control, but the more she sat here, the more her control over it increased. Attacks like these were easy to dodge.


    But she wouldn''t dodge. She, too, stretched her hand forward, and a fat scimitar made from blood sped forward to intercept the attack. It was vastly smaller than Themander''s weapon, but it was equally as powerful.


    —ng!!!


    Both collided and neither had even a scratch on them, but the surrounding air was pushed back in arge gust just because of the impact.


    This was the power of a peak level 3 fighter. A simple move from them could make the earth tremble.


    Meanwhile, on the ground, Leon could be seen running around the battlefield, dodging attacks being rained down.


    The entire ce was a mess. There was mass panic as the hunters tried their best to shoot down the giant serpent. But all their efforts only served to anger it.


    "Chaos" Leon muttered. This was the best chance for him to escape, he couldn''t even find Arian, and they were already out of bounds. However, this would not be possible because.


    —Wang


    From within the crowd of hunters, a dagger tied to a long chain shot at Leon with blinding speed.


    "Ahh...." Leon tried to dodge, but the attack was too abrupt, and he didn''t really have the opportunity to move. The dagger attached to the chain shed at his arm and left a deep cut.


    For a brief moment, Leon looked at the wound and his arm, and a look of annoyance formed on his face. He knew exactly who had sent that attack his way, and it genuinely pissed him off.


    Anan


    Time after time, Leon had let this brat get away with causing him trouble. He gave him leeway, But he wouldn''t give up. It was vexing.


    "Big mistake, you''re going to suffer now" Leon turned around and gazed at Anan''s figure. They were in a big battle and everyone was busy with whatever they were doing. Forgetting the fact that Leon could just escape right now, if he killed Anan no one would know until the battle was over.


    "Hmp!! Die" Anan threw his chain at Leon once again. He wanted to kill Leon, they were already close to capturing Liana, so Leon had no use to them.


    —Wang


    The chain coiled forward once again towards Leon, but this time Leon was prepared. He dodged the chain and pulled out his daggers before dashing towards Anan.


    Noticing that Leon had dodged his attack, Anan threw a backflip and drew the chain back. Magically, the chains'' length increased and took a turn and barreled towards Leon again.


    "BloodSerpent work: Wind Snake Arrows"


    Leon cast a spell and made several ethereal Arrows made out of a red wind appear and fly towards the head of the coiling chain.


    —ng


    —ng


    —ng


    This move not only stopped the chain in its tracks, it allowed Leon to continue with his sprint towards Anan.


    "Fine!! Let''s go head on." Feeling embarrassed by what Leon just did, Anan pulled out a short sword from his back and prepared to engage Leon.


    A face-to-face match up. This would settle the score.


    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


    "Krrrrrrreee"


    Meanwhile, the giant serpent shook around excessively. It seemed to not only be In pain, but also like it was struggling against something. Ontop of it, Liana looked white as a ghost.


    She had been severely injured by ric.


    She had lost a lot of blood while fighting against ric and trying to gain full control over the giant serpent. It felt like she was losing on both fronts even.


    "Give up and i''ll make sure you get the best cells in the Death squad barracks" ric said with a smirk on his face. This fight was actually harder than he thought.


    He believed Liana to be the run-of-the-mill middle grade level 3 warlock. But he was surprised to see her aplishing the feats of peak grade magic users.


    It was genuinely surprising that shested this long against him, as he was one of the strongest people in Tamlin group.


    "Hmmm, you haven''t won yet, old bastard. Don''t get too excited" Liana raised her head and smiled at ric.


    Just then, she reached into her robes and pulled out a red pill. Then she directly threw it into her mouth...


    "BloodSerpent work: bloody Death Parade"


    All of a sudden, her eyes became bloodred and so did her teeth and finger nails. She seemed to have turned into something that was more than human. Had be a Demon of some sort.
