Chapter 127: Two Gigantic Serpents
"I hope you won't mind asking for the reason." Ed didn't lose his cool after being turned down. Neither did he demand the reason in an unreasonable way. He made such an offer knowing exactly that such an outco could be possible.
"Hahaha" For no reason hen started laughing. Yet, mid-laughter a slight sadness was seen on his scaly face. "If you had co a couple of hundred years ago, I might have agreed. However, by now I grew tired of life. Even the outside world doesn't interest anymore." Such was the reason for the gigantic serpent. It wasn't a reason such as being attached to the tower or anything like that. Ed understood from his words that he was tired from life itself.
"I see. It is unfortunate. I felt like we would have the most fun ti together." Ed didn't try to reason with hen any further. From his previous words, he knew that he hen wasn't going to be persuaded. At least not in a short amount of ti. And Ed needed as much ti as he can have.
"Unfortunately, I feel the sa," hen said as he raised his body in the air. His yellowish-brown scales shined in the desert as they reflected the sun's light. The majestic serpent exuded a powerful aura and his presence was no different. "Let us not delay this any longer," hen spoke as he gazed down towards Ed the others.
Similarly, Ed and his companions got ready to battle with hen. "hen, you might be the first opponent in this world that I don't want to fight," Ed spoke as he pulled Muramasa and A-No-Murakumo. Gobuta and the other two who used weapons also brought out theirs. In an instant, the previous friendly atmosphere was gone. Both parties knew that holding back would be both idiotic, as well as an insult to the other.
The sun shined stronger for a single mont as if announcing the start of the battle. hen tensed his upper body and used it like a whip. In a second, he had struck the ground more than five tis. If soone were to see the sight, it would seem like a sandstorm was taking place. Ed and the others managed to dodge the strikes easily due to their speed. However, those who were slower were affected by the sand that blew away. In the end, they managed to get out scot-free but almost got hit by the subsequent strikes.
Those that excelled at speed, like Ed and Raikou already managed to reach hen's body. Raikou used his lightning discharge while Ed slashed with of his swords. "It's hard" Ed's swords were stopped by the, stronger than steel, scales. As for Raikou, the lightning moved around in the giant's body and dissipated before doing any actual damage.
On the other hand, hen who was unhurt by their attacks simply swung his head to both sides at an incredible speed. Raikou managed to dodge the strike while Ed blocked it with his swords, stopping the snake's attack. Sieg took the chance to invoke multiple magic attacks that targeted hen's head. "This is troubleso" Thought Sieg while taking notice that his attacks did no damage. hen's next move consisted of looking towards Sieg and opening his mouth. An instant later, a fla that could cover the sky was released engulfing Sieg inside of it.
The attack lasted a couple of seconds before stopping. "What an incredible opponent" Sieg's barrier was actually cracked from this attack. The difference in cultivation was showing its effect in this battle. "So you survived." hen extended his body to the sky once more and smashed it down while targeting Sieg. "I'm not about to let you keep doing what you want."
Ed flew and switched Muramasa with Shusui. A fla sword wasn't going to affect such an opponent. What he needed was pure raw power to but through his scales. Ed activated his Ren, and an overwhelming amount of aura exploded out of his body. With both Shusui and A-No-Murakumo, he intercepted hen's head that was coming down at an incredible speed. "Woaaaah!" Both of them scread at the sa ti trying to overpower the other. "Guh!" hen felt a tinge of pain near its stomach making him lose focus.
Ed capitalized on this chance and knocked hen's head away. hen reclaid his balance as fast as he could and looked towards his stomach. Gobuta was standing there with his sword clad in his gigantic aura. Since Gobuta was Enhancer like Ed and having broken through to Heavenly Establishnt, he had the most brute strength out of everyone. Even Ed might lose to him in an outright strength battle. In fact, while using Ren, like Ed just did, Gobuta was able to injure hen.
"Ufff. I don't feel like I can win with all of your monsters as my opponents." hen let out a sigh as he looked towards Ed's group. He was currently fighting Sieg who was about to break through to level 3 Heavenly Establishnt. Raikou wasn't far behind. Suika and the others are Legendary monsters the sa as him. And the most troubleso one out of them all was the human that didn't seem like a human, Ed. It wasn't a wonder for him to feel this way.
"Don't call a monster." As always, Ed is sensitive to this word. He activated his Manekyo Sharingan and Ken. Sieg stood next to him and both of them flew even higher. "Don't let your guard down," Ed told hen while he focused his eye. Sieg also had a fla appear in his hand. "Hellfla!" "Amaterasu!" Ed and Sieg used the unending flas at the sa. Only this ti, they were using it on hen, not against each other.
hen coiled his body like a spring and jumped to the side. He managed to dodge the Hellfla, but Amaterasu managed to hit him in the side. Before the flas could do any damage, Ed noticed that hen's eyes went blue and beco milky. His skin turned white. Less than a second later, two gigantic serpents appeared.
