Thunder Croc Snake

"Roar."

Without wasting any time, I ran as fast as I could when I heard the beast roared for the second time. Of course, I was in no mood to battle with this incoming dangerous beast. I don't even know how strong it is, and I sure as hell won't stay there any longer to find that out. I've already had what I came here for, so there's no way I'm Gonna play the hot-blooded fighter game and fight against that beast. However, for some unknown reason, that damn beast seemed to be able to follow my track and kept on following me.

"Roar."

The beast's roar seemed like as if it was emitted by an ancient angry giant beast.

" You guys are still magical beasts, do you understand what that damn beast is trying to say or convey from its roar," I asked the two little dragons on my shoulders.

" This guy isn't trying to convey anything, however, its roars seemed to be filled hatred and anger," Sylvia replied while looking back where the beast was coming from.

After I ran more than twenty minutes through the forest, I finally managed to escape from the clutch of that damn beast. I was so happy that I've managed to escape its pursuit.

" What the heck." Staring in front of me, I couldn't help but to immediately come to a halt. My face gradually turned pale, and a shiver ran down my spine.

In front of me was that seemed to be a huge beast which monstrous form resembles a combination of a crocodile and a snake. The beast had a serpentine head and a thick skin like crocodile composed of a close set of overlapping bony plates. Unlike a real crocodile, the beast in front of me had ten shorts legs with three toes that looked like a small carving knife in each of its legs. The beast was more than thirty feet long. It just stood there and crawling slowly on his ten shorts legs towards me. It seemed as if the beast was expecting me.

" Big Brother it's the same beast that was following us, I remembered its aura." Sylvia's voice rang out within my mind

" Retuned within the Pet space, I'm afraid running away from that beast won't be that easy not to mention killing it." Without giving them a chance to voice their opinion, I immediately Returned them to my Pet space.

" Could it be that damn beast knew I was going to appear here." Not taking the time to consider anything else, I suddenly turned around and dashed in a different direction trying to flee because I can feel a deadly and dangerously ruthless aura coming from that beast. Although I had just broken through the 4th rank warrior/mage, I knew my own limits. If I went to engage in battle against that beast, the chance of me winning is less than forty percent, I don't want to fight a battle that I'm not sure of.

However, when the beast saw that I was trying to escape, it immediately retaliated by uprooting a giant tree nearby along with its soil with just a sweep of its huge tail. I instantly lied down on the Ground as The giant tree was flying towards me.

" It seems like this fight cannot be avoided and killing that damn beast is my only way out." I got up from the ground and turned my head to look at the huge giant beast behind me. Since I couldn't escape anymore, I naturally wiped all the fear and hesitation away from my heart and faced the beast in front of me. Only by fighting an opponent who's stronger than you that you'll be able to break your own limit.

Out of nowhere, a silver curved Katana appeared within my hand. I haven't used that sword for an actual combat ever since my dad gave it to me. Today will be the first time that my sword will know the taste of blood.

Looking at the beast in front of me, I quickly released my dragon aura because most magical and ferocious beast would cower in terror at a dragon's might. However, after the huge beast sensed the pressure and the aura of a dragon coming from me, it could not help but be distracted for a moment before it regained its senses.

" Game on," I whispered to myself.

" Buzzz."

with a buzzing sound, the gamer's Godship sent out a faint white light energy visible to only me. The white light covered a five miles radius with me in the middle. I can clearly feel how far the Gamer's field covered but the area covered by the white light energy wasn't in my control. The area covered by the wave of energy stayed the same like nothing happened.

Looking at the beast's stat that materialized in front of me, I couldn't help but second guess myself and my choice to fight it head-on. After the stat of the beast disappeared in front of me, I can only see the number '15000' floating on top of the beast's head.

The Thunder Croc Snake was a beast known for its agility, and its lightning breath that can incinerate most creatures, even more, a lot of powerful beasts within the magical beast forest were constricted in its coils and eaten alive. Sometime In a life and death battle, agility is even more important than strength and speed. For example, if this damn beast was slow, I would have been able to effortlessly circle around it and then kill it.

" Swish."

Suddenly, the Thunder Croc Snake launched it enormous green scaled tail toward me at a high speed. As It swept its tail towards me at an incomparably high speed, I brandished the Harmony katana to meet against its tail. At the same time, my feet began to move in accordance with the Shadow Wind step. A dragon qi burst from the Harmony katana as I infused a large amount of my battle qi into it causing the sword to lengthen a bit. As for why I was able to infuse my battle into a weapon without being the high-level warrior, it's because of the Gamer's Godship. The strength produced was even more tyrannical when I cleaved it.

" bang."

-500

As the sword and that huge tail collided together, sparks burst forth. The huge thunder beast let out a howl. As for me, I have been swept away because I underestimated its attack. This kind of speed was totally out of my expectations and the agility of its tails as I was ruthlessly swept by the tip of it. I let out a painful scream as I fiercely slammed on the ground leaving a small pit behind.

" puff."

I spat out a mouthful of blood. The Thunder Croc Snake's strength was far more than I have anticipated. The worst thing is, it hasn't even begun to use its innate skills yet as if it was feeling me out. If that was the case then its wisdom was even more shocking. The Thunder beast wasn't well off as well, the sword attack left a small hole on its tail and I could see blood dripping from it. The number 15000 that was floating on top of its head turned into 14500.

Swish!"

Without giving me anytime to recuperate, the Thunder croc snake transformed into of flash illusionary light flash and charged at me. It was so fast that I couldn't even sense him moving to attack at all. I saw it with my own eyes, yet its movement and speed seemed so unreal. It would pretty hard for me to overcome that overwhelming difference of power. Especially those whip-strikes of its tail, they are simply too fast.

" Absolute Darkness field."

I knew that I didn't have much chance of winning by fighting against that beast head on which is why I used a magic element that I've sworn to myself not to use. I've always being repugnant of dark elemental power. Maybe I am still stuck with this Earth way of thinking and mentality about dark power. However, if I want to keep my poor life, all those ways of thinking had to go.

Suddenly, A powerful fluctuations of negative energy was being emitted from the crystal that was on the handle of the katana. In less than a breath time, my surrounding was enshrouded by an absolute blanket of darkness. It was noon, however, more than hundred feet of my surrounding fell into a total darkness. One would not even see what was In front of them. Even though there was a field of darkness that completely negated sight and some other senses, I was able to see everything as clear as the day. However, the same thing couldn't be said for the Thunder Croc Snake.

The beast instantly came to halt as soon as it was surrounded by darkness, its body started to emit a tremendous amount of electric sparks around it.

Out of nowhere, a huge amount of lightning blast was headed straight towards me. My eyes flashed with a fierce light. the Harmony Sword in my right hand suddenly turned into a flash, chopping toward the thunder Croc Snake while changing my directions multiple times, transforming into a magical illusionary shadow through the darkness as I dodged the incoming lightning blast. However, the Thunder Croc Snake wasn't stupid. Even though it couldn't see me clearly, it could sense me. it was sweeping its tail in every direction which makes it hard to dodge.

" Sylvia, Scarlett, now it's the time." Even though I couldn't deal any real damages to the thunder beast within the darkness, I knew just the right way to kill it or weaken it. I've seen what Sylvia's ice breath can do as well as Scarlet's. I just need to get them close to the beast unnoticed and let them do their trick. I've already sent them messages about the plan even before I cast the absolute darkness field. They both have a dark vision which will make it easier for them to hit the target.

As soon as the two little dragons came out and seeing how the Thunder croc snake has mistreated me, their eyes were filled with the color of rage, with a small roar and sissy sound, they both spurted a stream of silver and a black light towards the beast. The silver stream of light landed on the beast serpentine head while the black light landed on its back which composed of a close set of overlapping bony plates.

The huge beast suddenly felt a coldness on his face. It was looking around in confusion trying the see where this attack came from. It was so absorbed and immersed into fighting the human in front of it that it didn't pay too much attention to its surroundings. As the field of darkness disappeared, the Croc Snake was able to see two little dragons floating on top of it.

Out of anger, the Croc Snake was trying to incinerate this two small flies floating in the air. However, its anger expression solidified as a layer of silver ice, more than three fingersticks, began to spread out from its head to the rest of its body. In the meantime, a layer of black flame appeared on top of the huge beast's back despite the bright sunlight. The black flame started to cover its body from the waist down to its tail. The flesh on his back started to rot and smoke was coming out of it as if someone had poured some acid into its back. The torn of its flesh and bony plates was visible to the naked eyes as the black fire was eating and corroded the beast's body.

"roarrrrrr."

The Thunder croc snake was Roaring In pain while the black flame was eating out its flesh, bones and internal organs by its layer of dark energy. The black flame gave off an air of evil, demonic and domineering. Even the vegetation was getting infected by that black flame as they started to wither. Also, The thunder beast didn't even have a chance to run as its upper body was completely sealed in ice.

I was dumbfounded when I witnessed this scene. I knew how powerful the Thunder Croc snake was. Seeing that beast screaming and roaring in pain in front me while its HP was going down drastically, I started to look at the two little dragons differently. I knew their ice breath and the black fire was different and gave off this powerful otherworldly and divine atmosphere, however, I didn't know that just a mouthful of spit from them was enough to completely freeze and corroded the Thunder croc snake.

While I was still lost in thought, it was at the moment that the Gamer's Godship spirit rang out within my consciousness.

[ your level has risen ]

Suddenly, my body was surrounded by a white light visible to the naked eye.

" What." I blinked my eyes with puzzlement. It's the first that I've level up after fighting a beast without even absorbing a beast core.

[ A spiritual skill has been unlocked]

[ Soul Devour level 1]

Soul devours- being able to devour the soul of dead creatures before its soul moves on to the Soul plane to enhance one soul force or spiritual power. By absorbing one's soul , the absorber will gain the memory , skills and elemental power of the deceased.

" Holy smoke." When I heard the description of that soul devour power, I was s shocked that my legs went numb. With this type of power, I'll be able to gather an outrageous amount of skills and power.

[ only ten seconds left before the soul of the Thunder croc snake moves on to the soul plane, would you like to absorb its soul]

While I still trying to calm myself down, I heard the voice of the Gamer's Godship spirit within my mind.

" Yes," I answered her back without any hesitation.

All of a sudden, a white light came out from the dead thunder beast and went straight into my body as fast as a bolt of lightning. I didn't even have time to dodge or to see what it looked like exactly. Immediately, I felt that my spiritual power has increased drastically and waves of knowledge entered my brain. There's this huge amount of information, memories and few years of experience that filled my head at once.

[ Lightning attribute has been acquired]

[ Lightning blast has been learned ]

[ Lightning blast level 20 ]

[ Lightning Bolt has been learned]

[ Lightning bolt level 15]

[ Lightning Field has been learned]

[ Lightning field level 20 ]

I just stood there like an idiot with my mouth wide open when I heard the voice of the woman rang out within my mind. I hadn't learned a mere knowledge but received the wisdom and the years of experience of the thunder beast when it comes to lightning attribute. Even though it didn't use all of its lightning magic on me while we were fighting its because the beast underestimated me and was toying with me at the same time. It never imagined that my two small little dragons have this type of powerful and dreadful magical power which cost him its life. It was a mere sheer luck that we were able to kill that damn beast, I'm afraid that trick won't work against a powerful high-level beast.

"Lightning Bolt," I Said an attempt to see if everything that I've learned from the beast's soul was true.

" zzzzz."

A white bolt of lightning shot out from my hand to the nearby branch of a small tree and torn it to pieces as soon as it came in contact with it.

" Hahahaha." I couldn't help but laugh like a maniac when I realized that everything I've absorbed from the beast soul was true and real.

[ your pet 'Primordial Red Shadow Divine dragon' Scarlet has successfully risen to level 10 ]

[ your pet 'Primordial Red Shadow Divine dragon' Scarlet has successfully risen to level 11 ]

[ your pet 'Primordial Silver Divine dragon' Sylvia has successfully risen to level 10]

[ your pet 'Primordial Silver Divine dragon' Sylvia has successfully risen to level 11]

While I was laughing like a crazy person, the voice of the Gamer's Godship rang out again within my mind about the two little dragons progress. It seems like their harvest weren't small either. They finally broke through the 2nd rank magical beast. However compared to my harvest, they fell short.
