Ruins
In an instant, crackling lightning filled the pitch-black space, and an invisible sharp sword swept through the air like a shadow, cutting through the neck of the enormous creature.
Boom—
As the massive head crashed to the ground, He Ao raised his hand and recalled the Shadowless Sword to his grasp.
"This thing chased me through several areas before,"
Li Cheng stood before the fallen giant head, looking at the ferocious monster that resembled a lizard's head. He sighed softly and said in a somewhat nostalgic tone,
"Many passing 'companions' died in its mouth. In the end, I hid in a small, enclosed space like a cave with a tiny entrance. It couldn't get in, so I barely escaped disaster."
He smiled. "When I was young, it was one of the nightmares that appeared most often in my dreams."
As he spoke, he slowly put away the Spear of Andarville in his hand. His gaze swept over the enormous monster corpse slowly collapsing before him, and he sighed. "Times have changed. I never thought the monster from my dreams would become so 'weak.'"
"Strictly speaking, it isn't weak. Its strength has already reached the Rank B Exotic Beast level. It's just that you've grown too quickly over these years."
He Ao glanced at Li Cheng and smiled casually. "Now it's time for you to get your revenge."
"Hahaha," Li Cheng shook his head and laughed. "I know my own level well enough. Without your cooperation, if I wanted to kill this thing so easily, I'd have to activate the Spear of Andarville. It's not that I've become stronger too quickly. It's that I chose a good teammate."
"Alright, alright," He Ao shook his head with a smile. "You're good at flattering people too, huh? Let's get back to business."
