A few minutes later, when the draconian snake stopped utilizing the skill [Draconian might] as it feared that it might burn its most treasured bloodline, Marvin was still using the same strategy to slowly chip down the boss health bar one hit at a time. Except for using [Mini Teleportation] and [Immortal-Vanquishing Sword Slash], he didn't utilize any other ability.

"Eh, how come you still haven't run out of magic power?" The Draconian Snake said in shock as it sensed that the magic power contained inside Marvin's body hasn't decreased one bit. Rather, it has increased by a dozen units.

"Go and ask Yama!"

It was better than Marvin in every single aspect. It possessed greater mental strength and thus utilizing a large number of magic techniques wasn't troublesome for him. The utilization of magic technique puts a strain on the brain of magical beasts that's why they use it in reserve. But the draconian snake was too powerful and it could utilize dozens of magic techniques without feeling any discomfort.

"My magic power capacity is greater than you, and the arsenal of magic techniques that I possess also far surpass what you know, yet how come I am still losing." It cried unfair as the situation was far too ridiculous and it couldn't do anything about it.

"There is indeed a big difference in every aspect," Marvin said with a mocking smile. "I don't know why you're so bringing with pride when your draconian bloodline couldn't suppress a human like me. Furthermore, don't be mistaken for my combat experience and my techniques are far superior to yours. You're just a filthy beast that never changes its attack pattern. But I am a human being that adapts to different situations. Just like how I created a strategy to take you down. Haha!"

Marvin was extremely happy. It's because he will obtain a lot of experience points once he slays the draconian snake. He believed that he'll level up multiple times after Noah converts the life essence of the draconian snake into experience points.

"You forced me to do this," the draconian snake said as it utilized a sacrificing magic technique. A dozen or so of its scales burst up from its body almost instantly and sped towards Marvin at an incredible speed.

They crashed into one another as Marvin leaped up to dodge them before he teleported right beyond its vision.

"Its regeneration ability is really amazing. The wounds on its right eyes have mostly healed, but the other two are still badly mangled. Just like I left them." Marvin thought as he aimed his fingers at the eyes of the draconian snake.

"This fool dares to appear beyond me jaws. Seems like he doesn't fear death!" The draconian snake thought as it scurried forward and opened its jaw wide to swallow Marvin in a single gulp.

"This stupid beast fell for it."

Marvin's eyes narrowed to slits as an enormous amount of magic power burst forth from his forefinger, twirling and compressing, condensing into the shape of a sphere ball. One could see four sharp blades on each side of this compressed magic power ball.

"Bursting Sword Sphere!"

Marvin's creativity was running wild. That's why he was able to self-create multiple techniques in a single battle. To create this technique, he combined the most basic property of his sword technique with the skill [mana bullet].

It took a mere split-second for him to create and blast the bursting sword sphere at the wide-opened mouth of the beast.

'I am threatened by this magic technique?'

The Draconian snake watched the bright blue sphere spinning towards it as the feeling of dread filled its body. It wanted to move out of the way, but it was already too late. Marvin has attacked from such a close range that even if it far faster than it was right now, it still wouldn't be able to dodge the attack.

'Oh no, I must at least not swallow it!' The Draconian Snake thought as it was able to discern that the blue sphere was condensed out of a hundred units of magic power and that it was extremely stable, and it would burst the moment it hits a target.

Although it possessed a sturdy outer body, the same couldn't be said for its interior. Thus, it hurried to close its mouth.

WHOOSH!

The bright blue sphere, grew than the size of its head as it spun around, reaching the beast in the passage of a mere moment. The blades sliced open its jaws allowing the sphere to penetrate its mouth.

Poof!

After a split second, the sphere exploded in the beast's mouth and the upper part of its head was blasted away.

"That should be enough to kill it, right?" Marvin thought as he stood on top of a tree.

The beast has lost its brain so it must have died.

However, for some odd reason, he didn't receive even a single notification about its death. He also did not receive any experience points.

Why?!

The answer was simple. The draconian snake was somehow still alive.

The draconian snake's vitality was so great that it didn't die even after its brain exploded. Furthermore, it burned all of its draconian bloodlines to call forth an enormous amount of power.

Marvin raised his head to look into the sky as he felt oppressiveness descending from the clouds.

"What?" Marvin's eyes opened wide in surprise as dozens of complicated aqua blue magical symbols started appearing in the clouded skies. All these symbols interlocked, creating a complex and mysterious pattern that gave off an archaic and murderous vibe.

"Bloodline Sacrificial Ritual: Lightning Summoning!"

Immediately, the sky rumbled with loud noise as thunderclap descended from the clouds. Once it activated its ultimate technique, the trees in the woods swayed as strong gusts of winds also appeared out of nowhere.

The wind gusts carried the fallen leaves on the ground and threw them up into the air where dozens of aqua blue-colored clouds transformed into blue streaks of lightning and intertwined to slowly shape an intimidating and massive lightning dragon with two dragon whiskers fluttering like a wave in mid-air.

The lightning dragon gazed at Marvin, and all of a sudden, a powerful wave of oppressive aura tried to suppress Marvin in his spot. However, a stronger aura responded from inside Marvin's body and then he no longer felt oppressed.

"LITTLE BASTARD! DIE FOR MY SAKE," the draconian snake said as it used all its mental strength to guide the lightning snake towards Marvin's location.

The Draconian Snake believed that Marvin was suppressed through and through by the oppressive aura of the lightning dragon. And so, he shouldn't be able to use any ability to run away.

Oh, if only it knew how wrong it was!

"I didn't want to use this ability but I guess I've no choice but to use it. Besides, this battle is getting long and boring," Marvin thought as the glow in his silver eyes brightened.

He has finally activated [Time Halt].

At first, he didn't want to use this ability as it comes with a backlash if used on a being far superior to himself. But now, he believed that the most humiliating way for it to die was to be killed by its own attack.

The Draconian snake found out that it lost control over its movements for some odd reason, and it also couldn't use its mental strength to guide the lightning dragon towards its target. It immediately realized the reason why it couldn't move its body, or do anything, as a matter of fact, was related to Marvin.

Besides, it has lost control of the lightning dragon and it was coming straight down.

Holy fuck!!!!!!

The lightning dragon crashed on top of the Draconic Snake.

Boom!

The entire blood valley shook violently as its ultimate move created a massive hole in the ground and also destroyed its body.

The devastation caused by this attack was so strong that it destroyed the body of the draconian snake into hundreds of pieces until it seemed like there was nothing left.

"Why have I still not gained any experience points?" Marvin thought incredulously.

?It's because the draconian snake is still alive!?

"What?!!! How come it survived even such a devastating attack?" Marvin said as he found it hard to believe that it still didn't die.

Well, this wasn't good news for himself. The backlash of stopping the time of a being far powerful than himself was killing his head, and he just wanted to close his eyes and rest.

?Just as the lightning dragon was going to annihilate it, the draconian snake used its innate ability to create a new body for itself, and according to my estimate, it contains more than ten thousand units of the essence of life. However, it is in an extremely weak state and even a rank-1 ability user can kill it easily.?

"I believe you can locate it. Can you tell me where it's hiding?" Marvin said as he didn't want the beast to run away.

It was his treasure!

It was his reward for the grand battle!

?Yes, the beast has just slipped inside the stream.? Noah replied after it used a few experience points to activate its special function to detect energy.

"Hehe, you're not running away from me," Marvin thought as he teleported near the stream and dived inside.

The Draconian Snake was cursing Marvin when all of a sudden he appeared right in front of it.

Speak of the devil and he doth appear.

Marvin saw that it was now only a foot long. While the draconian snake saw that a smile was plastered on his face. It was a murderous smile. One that said, it's time to die.

"Hey, little worm, say hello to the king of hell for me," Marvin said as he covered the distance between them in an instant.
