Three-Headed Basilisk (Part Two)

"As the name suggests, the Three-Headed Basilisk is a lizard with three snake heads. It's a branch of the ancient and powerful Nine-Headed Nine-Headed Basilisk Lizard. Although the Three-Headed Basilisk is much weaker than the Nine-Headed Basilisk, it's still a very talented magical beast. After advancing to the God Level, each of its three heads mastered Profound Mystery unique Profound Mystery: corrosion, poison, and weakening. Its own strength isn't great, but its various strange attacks are very troublesome. One careless move could result in corrosion or poisoning, leaving the body weak. Even I would have a lot of trouble facing it." Leins said, frowning. That shameless guy was no easy opponent, resorting to disgusting tricks. Of all the God Level magical beasts, he was the one Leins hated the most.

"Is that so? But what about more specific details, like the details of his three talents: Corrosion, Poison Gas, and Weakening?" Issui asked again.

"Corrosion, or the Corrosion Aura, inflicts a constant corrosive attack on anyone within its aura. Once struck by its spells, your wounds will rot. This corrosive attack doesn't just target the wounds; the Corrosion Aura will also seep into your body's organs, slowly decaying them into rotten flesh. It's crucial to avoid injury, otherwise the Corrosion Aura will enter your body through the wounds and wreak havoc. Although God Level expert's body is already incredibly powerful, if they are subjected to corrosion and then intensify their combat, the corrosion will accelerate, making it extremely disgusting. Intensifying combat damages their organs, while refraining from combat leaves them unable to harm the attacker, ultimately leading to their gradual attrition. Poison Gas, or the Poison Gas Aura, inflicts a massive amount of toxins into the body of any enemy within its aura simply by inhaling a small amount of surrounding air. Even God Level expert cannot withstand the release of this poison gas for more than the time it takes to burn an incense stick." Time. If you inhale the poison gas and don't end the fight quickly, you'll die from it. However, rapid combat will accelerate blood flow, deepening the poisoning, and you might not survive even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The Weakening Aura is an even more shameless and infuriating skill. Every time your body touches his, you'll be weakened, and the more contact you have, the more severely you'll be weakened. While you can use ranged attacks to avoid this, he's not stupid; he'll constantly engage you in melee combat. Each contact reduces your strength slightly, and you'll have to constantly dodge his physical attacks. Even if your physical strength is greater, contact weakens you, and the more you fight, the more your strength will plummet. You won't be able to cast ranged spells, and you'll constantly have to dodge his physical attacks. You're essentially just struggling within this aura, and ultimately, he'll wear you down.

"In short, fighting him will leave you feeling powerless. He's a very troublesome guy, or as I put it, disgusting," Leins said helplessly. "Although that guy can't beat me, his shameless skills are just too frustrating."

"What?" Issui had initially thought that the three Profound Mystery techniques—corrosion, poison gas, and weakening—were just slightly troublesome skills to deal with, but now that he saw it, it was more than just troublesome; it was downright disgusting. It would be a miracle if you could even fight amidst these monstrous auras.

"What, is there a problem?" Avril was also somewhat surprised by the Three-Headed Basilisk after listening to Leins' detailed description. None of the guy's innate spells were normal; they were all things used to annoy people.

"It's alright, don't worry. With Leins here, the two of us together can take him down no matter what. But one of you needs to give me directions. I'm not very familiar with the current environment, so it'll be difficult to find Slick's residence," Issui said confidently.

"Yeah, that's true. If the two of you team up, you could probably put those two old guys to the test, let alone this Three-Headed Basilisk." Avril suddenly realized that Leins was with her, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"I will take this divine crown with me," Flavi suddenly said.

"No, this isn't something a mere Legendary like you can handle. You need at least Demigod. What if something happens to you there, and His Holiness the Divine Child isn't available to save you? You should stay home and let your Grandpa Mach go." Marilyn loudly stopped Flavi from making her decision.

"No, I'm going. After I bring His Holiness the Divine Child there, I'll enter his alternate dimension to keep Nicole company. How about that? Then there won't be any danger, right?" Flavi pleaded.

"Let her go. Anyway, I have my spatial storage, so nothing will happen. If anything does, I can just summon her into my spatial world," Issui chimed in.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to take good care of me, Divine Child. Flavi, after you go with His Highness the Divine Child, you must be obedient and careful. Enter that space as soon as you arrive at your destination." Marilyn agreed only after hearing Issui the assurances. Sigh, her daughter has grown up, becoming more and more opinionated, and less and less obedient to her mother. Rebellious indeed.

"Alright, now that Issui has confirmed it, things will be easier for us on both sides. In a little while, I'll have someone notify the Dwarf Clan to begin the plan. Tomorrow, we'll each set off towards our respective targets and eliminate them. The dawn of hope is already in sight." Avril said excitedly. This day was finally approaching. Once the three God Level magical beasts were eliminated, there would be nothing left to worry about, and freedom would once again appear before us.

"Okay, I'll go and give some instructions. I've prepared everyone's rooms. Get some rest now, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning, just in case anything goes wrong." Marilyn also seemed quite enthusiastic.

The next day, after everyone finished breakfast, Issui and the others split into two teams and set off. First was Issui's team, consisting of Blazing Liger Leins, Nicole, Flavi, and Issui. Then came Avril's team, consisting of Elemental Elf Avril, Elf Queen Marilyn, Mach.

Leaving the City of Life, the group of three people and one beast embarked on their journey, heading due north...

Time passed slowly, Issui the group finally came to a huge swamp. The three people and one beast stopped in their tracks.

"Is this the place, Flavi?" Issui asked.

"Yes, this is it," Flavi said.

"Alright, all of you enter my Sumeru Space. Leave the rest to me," Issui said to Nicole, Flavi, Leins.

"Master, don't I need to stay outside?" Leins knew Issui's strength; defeating Slick would be a long shot.

"Don't worry, some battles are necessary. Otherwise, where would you find such good opponents to improve your combat experience? It's only interesting to fight against people of similar strength," Issui said confidently. He was confident that he could defeat the Three-Headed Basilisk Slick through hard work.

"Alright, I'll be at your beck and call if there's any danger," Leins nodded.

"Be careful, don't get hurt, or I'll beat you up if I get you back!" Nicole said domineeringly.

Issui's head swelled up again. Damn it, you wouldn't hit me if I wasn't hurt, but you still beat me up after I got hurt. Are you out of your mind?

"I know you can do it, you will succeed," Flavi said.

Issui finally heard normal words, nodded, and with a wave of his hand, took the three of them into the Sumeru World. Next, the battle began!

He walked slowly and gently Earth Flow the edge of the swamp, attached Chakra to his feet, Issui into the swamp, but did not sink in.

"Hiss..." A snake head emerged from the swamp, its neck, large enough for one person to encircle, gradually emerging completely. Then, two more snake heads emerged. Once all three enormous snake heads had emerged, a tiny part of the lizard's body, as large as a basketball court, was revealed.

"Did you disturb Slick's awakening? I'm hungry, so you can be my lunch," said the middle snake head, sticking out a red apricot from its mouth.

"Hmph, you underestimate me too much, and you overestimate yourself too much. Whether you have the ability or not, we'll only know after a try. Who knows, you might just become my lunch. I've never eaten snake meat before, maybe this time I can have a taste." Issui sneered.

"Hiss!"

Slick was completely enraged by the boy's words. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before. Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish.

The giant lizard's body gradually emerged from the swamp, its four enormous claws firmly planted on the swamp, and with a casual flick of its long tail, it stirred up a large amount of mud and water from the swamp.

"Hmph, to show you the courage to speak to me like that, I'll let you make the first move," Slick said, raising his middle head high.

"Hmph, since that's how it is, don't regret it! Eye of Heaven: White, Sealing Domain; Eye of Heaven - Frost, Ice-Sealed Armor!" Issui immediately used the Sealing Domain and Ice-Sealed Armor. The Sealing Domain can block the energy flow within Slick's body, so he can only mobilize external energy, which is slightly disadvantageous in battle.

The Issui used the Ice-Sealed Armor was actually to defend against corrosive attacks. Acidic substances contain a certain amount of water, and when they come into contact with the ice shield of the Ice-Sealed Armor, the acid can be frozen with ice-style Chakra, thus resisting corrosive attacks.

"Huh, the energy flow within my body has slowed down, and I can't use the energy from my hands, otherwise the surging energy and the still energy from my hands will collide and explode. I must say, your Secret Technique is quite impressive," Slick said casually, seemingly unconcerned about the changes in his body.

"Hmm, you can't use the energy in your body, what will you do?" Issui asked calmly.

"Don't you know that God Level powerhouses can use external Natural Energy? This problem has no effect on God Level powerhouses," Slick said smugly.
