Chapter-58: Taking Care of a Snake Problem..[4]

———————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

3rd POV | Snake Demon's Nest |

Lucien pulled out a fistful of moss from a separate section of his sling bag..

'!' Lucien shouted in his mind as the moss suddenly reformed to a magic circle and enveloped everything that was in a 6-6 radius around him, into complete and utter darkness where no light can pass through the curtain.

"Grah?" The Snake Demon let out a confused growl as his vision became dark and he couldn't see anything.

"What did you do human?!" The Snake Demon shouted as it tried to look around it, trying to figure out the situation.

Lucien sneakily went out of the dark dome curtain as he knew what the limitations of this spells are. While the Demon is disoriented, he prepared a sulphur line around the dark curtain dome.

Lucien gritted his teeth and bent down, his hand touching the sulphur connecting to the sulphur lines around the dark dome.

The spell wore off and the dark barrier dissipated from the top like a bursting bubble.

"Ah?" The Demon only had let out a confused sound until the sulphur lines around it exploded in flames.

"!" Lucien gritted his teeth as he activated the spell, consuming Spiritual Power in a rapid rate.

It was a magic created by modifying Acid Splash, by stopping the magic reaction halfway when the sulphur is lit and skipping the acid-reaction part during the acid splash casting process the fire from the sulphur can form a trail of fire.

"Graaaaaagh! Groooh! HUUUUMMAAAAAAN!!!!! YOU CAN'T KILL ME! I'M IMMORTAL! ONLY THE SUN CAN KIILL MEEE!!" He was kinda right, but these flames were made of Spiritual Power, different from other flames, this could hurt him severely and make him unable to easily regenerate the parts that were engulfed in flames by blocking his abilities through Spiritual Power.

The blood viper's form lit on fire as the Demon screeched in agony. The Snake Demon started smashing it's tail into everything, desperate to put out the fire that was lit up on it's body.

—Booom! Baaaam!

"Gaaaah!! Kuuuh!" Lucien was hit by the tail and was launched and embedded into the rocky walls. Blood was spat out as he lay onto the wall that formed into his figure.

"Shit! I didn't notice!" Lucien held his cracked ribs, blood dripping out from his mouth and he was blinking in and out of consciousness.

'Fuck! At least before I pass out I gotta do something or it'll kill me!' Lucien thought as the Demon finally put the fire burning on it's body out.

With his last bits of will and Spiritual Power, he threw out sulphur from his bag, but this time, he aimed for the ceiling of the cavern. As he cast , the sulphur turned into acid in the last moment as it hit the foundations in the ceiling which held up the foundation of the room.

—Ssss! Crack! Crack! Boom!

"I'm gonna eat your limbs one by one!!" The Snake Demon shouted as he recovered.

'Damn...it...' Lucien lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was the face of the Snake Demon and spears of light raining down from the ceiling.

"You...well.." He also heard a voice, but he couldn't hear it clearly as he fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.

* * * * * * *

Ren appeared on the ceiling right at the time where the Snake Demon was rushing towards the unconscious Lucien, embedded in the wall.

"Oh, no you don't" Ren muttered to himself as he summoned spears made out of Light magic.

—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whooosh!

The spears fell down with one single gesture from Ren. They shot out and pierced through the body of the Snake Demon in one swift volley.

"What..?" Only a single word was uttered by the Snake Demon until he turned into fly ash..

Light magic affects demons because they specifically kill beings of chaotic and malevolent nature, and that is the primordial law in even the most basic of worlds.

Ren easily killed the Snake Demon that has consumed enough humans that it already developed a Blood Art. Ren flew down towards the unconscious Lucien and checked his injuries.

"You did well" Ren praised him for lasting this long and then held Lucien's shoulder and teleported out of the collapsing cavern.

The two reappeared on Lucien's room in the inn. Ren teleported Lucien to his respective bed and then bought a healing vial.

[Would you like to buy a for 10 SP?]

"Yes.." Ren agreed as a crystal vial with exquisite artistic designs, and inside is a crimson red ambrosia, sparkling with bright crimson.

—Plop!

Ren popped the cork of the vial and then poured the crimson contents of the vial unto Lucien's forehead. Lucien's body began to glow in a green outline as wisps of green balls floated around.

"That should be enough.." Ren said to himself as the vial was emptied and thrown inside of his space pocket.

Ren then left the room and left Lucien to peacefully sleep...

1st POV | Lucien's POV |

'Ughh!' My head hurts like hell and somebody is banging a drum at the same time!...

A massive headache assaulted my head as I groaned in pain. It was like as if my head was being cracked open by a massive jackhammer drilling into my skull and then a sledgehammer promptly proceeding to hammer my brain into mush!

'What the hell happened?' I thought as I finally opened my eyes, beams of sunlight immediately blinding me as my vision gets used to the light.

"Auugh!" After that temporary flashbang, I stood up and opened the sliding door and walked out of my room.

I was met by Ren in the hallway who immediately said to me, "Hey, you're finally awake! trynna cross the border huh?" And after saying a reference which I don't recognize, he promptly snickered.

"What happened?" I finally ask the most important question lingering on my mind...
