BXBX NOVEL Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Twisted skin
This time, Heath\'s Elder Psychic used a flying sword to strike!
"Boom!"
Ethan, controlling the cards, made them explode again, blasting the flying sword away.
Then quickly maneuvered two more cards towards Heath\'s Elder Psychic, and then, press R!
"Let\'s see how cocky you really are!"
In the midst of explosions, Heath\'s Elder Psychic retreated again!
A strand of hair got messed up, blocking Heath\'s Elder Psychic\'s vision, and he grimaced as he brushed it aside, "Only six left, what will you do after they\'re gone?"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ethan, in front of the screen, paid no mind to the small words popping above Heath\'s Elder Psychic\'s head.
He kept controlling the cards, pressing R!
Until the last time, this cards finally blasted open Heath\'s Elder Psychic\'s psychic energy, sending him flying back!
Blood trickled from the corner of Heath\'s Elder Psychic\'s mouth, his clothes in disarray.
But his face was filled with a mocking smile, "Hahaha, no more, your weird ability gear is gone..."
But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.
[Consume 20 points of Spiritual Tribute, use \'Forebearer\'s Fury\'!]
Another cards suddenly appeared in front of the Blackwood folks!
"How come there\'s more? Isn\'t this over yet?!! I..."
Heath\'s Elder Psychic\'s mouth twitched, he stared at the plaque, caught in a dilemma!
He had just boasted, if he retreated now, he\'d probably blush even in his dreams. But if he didn\'t retreat... now that he\'d been blasted nine times, only half his psychic energy remained, who knew how much more this thing had???
Ethan whipped out this card not to smack down old man Heath, but to shield the Blackwood descendants.
Because...
In the Blackwood ancestral hall, under the Forebearer card, the Thunder Python finally opened its eyes!
It got even bigger, hogging half the hall, its once dark skin fading to a deep purple with slick, mysterious patterns that looked pretty rad!
Its horns, post-shedding, bent forward like it was ready to charge.
"Roar!"
Waking up, the Thunder Python let out a roar to the sky, not the usual hiss but a beastly bellow!
Its lightning spread across the floor, reaching ten meters out, the purple arcs so clear even the folks outside the hall could see!
"What in the world?!"
If Ethan\'s Forebearer card just spooked old Heath a bit.
Now.
He was downright terrified!
He stared in horror towards the Blackwood hall, feeling a crushing presence just from its aura!
"Run!"
As cocky as he was coming in, that\'s how ragged Heath looked now.
He didn\'t dare take another peek at Blackwood, just bolted towards the mutant garden!
Didn\'t even look back.
But...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of trees crashing followed him, getting louder and closer.
Until he reached the beast-blood fruit tree.
He could smell a foul stench, frozen in fear, he looked down to see purple lightning at his feet, but it didn\'t strike.
Of course, the arc sent a clear message—if he moved, he was a goner!
His head stiff, he swallowed hard and turned around.
Then.
He was overshadowed, smooth scales filled his vision.
"What is this thing?!"
Heath\'s head shook slightly, and it seemed to take an eternity for him to look up and see what was chasing him.
A snake.
A nearly twenty-meter-long, dark purple python!
On its head stood the card that had just mocked him, now terrifying him!
Meanwhile.
Ethan, in front of the screen, was grinding his teeth staring at Heath, who looked like a mouse in front of the Thunder Python!
He slowly clicked on the Thunder Python\'s image.
Then typed—
Finish him, make it painful!
In a flash, the Thunder Python coiled around Heath, zapping him slowly, squeezing tighter!
"Ah!"
Gotta say, Heath had some guts, didn\'t beg even while running, but when caught...
"Mercy, mighty mutant beast!"
"..."
Ethan glared at Heath, now vein-popping terrified, "Keep up your arrogance, go on!"
He had been waiting for the Thunder Python to wake up!
No.
Now it should be called—
The Purple Thunder Serpent!
[Purple Thunder Serpent (Mutant Beast)]
[Description: Possesses immense strength and innate thunder fire, waiting for its next transformation!]
After its breakthrough, unlike humans, the Purple Thunder Serpent evolved, reaching the peak of mutant beasts!
Under its grip, Heath\'s bones soon cracked, his blood bursting from his veins, trickling down the smooth skin of the Purple Thunder Serpent, dripping under the beast-blood fruit tree.
Soon, the once arrogant Heath was nothing but a twisted skin.
Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Clicked the Purple Thunder Serpent\'s icon again, typed—
Send his skin to Heath...
