“It looks like your accomplice is going to hell before you. How about you go join it?”
With a slash of her blade across the giant python’s body, Luo Shuangyue glanced at the monster howling under Xia Mo’s magic cannon bombardment.
She then gave the strange man in front of her a sweet, yet somewhat chilling, smile.
Someone smilingly telling you to go to hell and join a monster is indeed a little terrifying, but what’s more terrifying is that this person truly has the ability to make it happen.
The python’s left arm was gone, and a layer of gray mist swirled around his face, indicating his dire condition.
If he didn’t leave the battlefield soon, he might truly be sent to hell by the girl in front of him.
“Your magic tastes awful, not delicious at all. It’s even worse than a monster’s,” Luo Shuangyue said, sneering disdainfully at the python.
After severing the python’s left arm, the butterflies she controlled swarmed over and devoured the severed limb.
However, judging by the reactions from the butterflies, the python’s magic taste couldn’t even compare to a magical girl’s, let alone a monster’s.
It felt like eating it would give you diarrhea.
As for why she didn’t press her advantage and completely finish off the python here, Luo Shuangyue was actually wary of any special weapons or items the python might have.
How could a villain like him not have something to save his life or make a desperate comeback? She had to be careful not to be ambushed by this guy.
The python also noticed his opponent’s caution, which made him feel helpless.
If his opponent continued to pursue him, he would definitely choose to use the secret weapon his leader had given him.
That attack, if not killing this Underworld Butterfly, would surely severely injure her.
However, his opponent’s caution foiled his plan.
That weapon could only be used effectively at close range; its effect would significantly decrease once the distance widened.
“Damn it! If those three magical girls get closer, it’ll be hard for me to leave…” But the python had no choice now.
If he wanted to escape, he had to use that weapon to block the Dark Moth.
A hint of retreat flashed across the python’s face, giving Luo Shuangyue an idea.
The python was planning to run, and escaping wouldn’t be easy.
He wouldn’t get away without paying some price.
“Trying to run? Do you think I’ll give you that chance!”
Shouting, Luo Shuangyue lunged at the python with her scythe, looking as if she intended to keep him there today.
Seeing this, the python, who had been hesitating whether to use his trump card here, no longer hesitated.
He directly extended his right hand towards Luo Shuangyue and muttered, “King Snake’s Poison!”
A pale green, snake-like phantom emerged from the tattoo on his right arm and sprayed a cloud of green poisonous mist towards Luo Shuangyue, who was rushing straight at him.
After releasing the poisonous mist, the python immediately turned and darted into the distance without looking back.
“The poisonous mist released from this distance would at most cause minor injuries to the Dark Moth; it wouldn’t be enough to turn the tide of battle. He released the mist primarily to block the Dark Moth’s pursuit and buy himself a chance to escape.”
“And in that, the poisonous mist performed quite well.”
“Luo Shuangyue had already stopped when she saw the python raise his arm. She summoned butterflies as a shield in front of her while retreating.”
“Her surprise attack was originally meant to bait the python into revealing his trump card. Now that her goal was achieved, she’d be foolish to directly take on that trump card.”
“The green poisonous mist dissolved the butterflies into grayish magic as soon as it touched them. Luo Shuangyue had never encountered such potent poison before.”
“Fortunately, she was prepared; otherwise, if the python had caught her off guard at close range, she might have suffered a huge defeat.”
“‘Hmm? The butterflies seem to be adapting to the poison?’ As more and more butterflies were dissolved by the poisonous mist, Luo Shuangyue noticed that the butterflies she summoned seemed to be gradually evolving the ability to resist the mist.”
“From being dissolved upon contact with the poisonous mist, they could now withstand it for a second before dissolving. Their progress was incredibly fast.”
“However, the cost of this rapid progress was that Luo Shuangyue’s magic power was being consumed at an alarming rate. The butterflies needed to touch the poisonous mist to evolve adaptability, and evolution required magic power, as did creating butterflies. Even for Luo Shuangyue, who was in her early bloom stage, it was hard to sustain such a terrifying consumption.”
“Meanwhile, the sight of such a large group of butterflies rushing into the poisonous mist, one after another, sacrificing themselves to surround it even if they were completely dissolved, took on a completely different meaning in Xia Mo’s eyes.”
“Xia Mo didn’t know that Luo Shuangyue was letting her butterflies evolve anti-poison abilities to prepare for the next time she could take down the python.”
“In her opinion, wasn’t the Dark Moth fully trying to prevent the monster’s poisonous mist from spreading and destroying the city?”
“Seeing the Dark Moth’s gradually paling face and serious expression, this poisonous mist must be extraordinary. If it were to land on the ground, it would surely cause terrible damage.”
“‘Sigh, even though the Dark Moth has a terrible temper, she’s still a good girl at heart!’ Xia Mo thought, deeply moved.”
