Chapter 24: The Immogi – Part 2

The Immogi stopped moving.

However, none of them dropped their guard down.

Then, suddenly Alexander made the first move, walking towards the giant serpent.

Seeing that it's burnt beyond crisp. He clenches his fist, charging electricity on it.

[Thunder King's Fist]

With that he slams it on the giant serpent.

However something was amissed. One strike from Alexander, the entire room was covered in smokes and water vapor. 

As we check, that wasn't the snake he was striking at. It was the Imoogi's skin. It seemed to have molded and disappeared.

Before anyone of us could react, Lee Jeong Hun thrust his sword on the ceiling.

*Clunk*

Lee Jeong Hun: "Tough Bastard."

As he drops on the ground, he evokes another skill.

The Imoogi screams as it reveals itself.

It was on top of the temple coiling up, looking different from before.

[It has molded.]

Previously, the Imoogi was in a bright white colour, with a hint of green maybe due to behind in this place for so long, it grew some moss around it's scales. 

It also had yellow eyes, showing warmth and no aggression previously. 

Until the rest starts attacking it.

However, now that it molded. Slowly, it's Scale's which was pure white is tainted with Black colour.

It started growing spikes from it's head then downward slowly. 

 

The eyes of the Imoogi turns bright red as it stares at the assailant who attacked him with such painful strikes.

It jumps of the ceiling using itself like a spring and aimed at Lee Jeong Hu.

[Looks like it was about the ascend but because of the violence and negative energy. It got corrupted. Now its just a vengeful demonic beast.]

Dropping the girls, I started asking Ryong.

"Is there anything I can do? I don't have any fancy magic or skills."

[Thou have a weapon. Ideally it's not the best weapon for hunting a monster.]

[Comparing to the Meduza, this would be easier. because thou have others with thy.]

The Imoogi opens it's jaw wide as it tries to take a bite out of Lee Jeong Hun.

However, he retaliated by putting his sword in between the Imoogi's mouth. Just in time before the Imoogi shuts it's Jaw.

Following, Alexander slams his fist in to the snake's belly, Imbued with his lighting magic and starts to landing hits after hits on it.

 

With it's mouth stucked and belly wrecked, the Serpent starts trashing around the temple, cause the entire underground to shake.

I ran toward the Imoogi, thinking what can either staff do in this situation, until I saw the sharp weapons both the Japanese women were carrying.

I signalled to Sasaki, positioning myself in a footstep position. 

She nodded and starts running to me. I place the staff on my palm as she jumps on the staff, I pushed her up to give her an extra height.

While in mid-air, right behind the Imoogi's neck.

She launches a couple of slashes.

[Kaze no ikari]

The attacks works as some of the scales can be seen being cut off.

Kazue, riding her guardian spirit, casted a spell while throwing a talisman in the end, turning it to ash.

[Onmyodo: Bind]

Thick chains starts to appear from thin air trapping the beast and holding it captive.

The Imoogi now Binded by chains is trap there without being able to move. It tries to spit poison when Lee Jeong Hun retrieved his sword and left but the chains also wrapped the mouth of the Imoogi.

It turned from Predator to Prey in an instance.

[Sasaki's POV]

Lee Jeong Hun took his sword out, walking towards menacingly to his prey.

The rest all knew, if it wasn't for him, none of them could have fought that and come out unscathed. It was only fair since he did the most damage to it.

Even the prideful Alexander stood there and gritted him teeth as he watches the man leaving with his prey. Maybe because of the amount of gods watching, or because deep inside he knows, he still can't catch up to him.

Just as Lee Jeong Hun was about to deal the final hit.

*CLINK*

Someone stopped him. 

I turned my head to look which fool was brave enough to stop one of the strongest human currently.

It was the Masked Outsider.

I face-palmed myself, saying: "Misterrrr, come back now!"

He didn't budge. Instead he points his finger at the Imoogi, as we all turn to see what he was talking about. The imoogi seemed to have grew some horns on it's head.

Rhea then states: "Don't tell me, is it evolving into a dragon currently?"

A Dragon? There was tale saying that an Imoogi will ascend to heaven as a dragon once it survives for 1000 years. 

It's 1000 year period is up, and it must be planning to ascend to heaven.

I asked Jeong Hun: "Do you know the consequences of killing a sacred beast that is on it's way to heaven."

 

He replied: "I was aiming for that moment anyways, don't get in my way." as he glares at the Outsider. 

But the Outsider didn't flinch or got intimated. He just stood there.

In a blink of an eye, suddenly Lee Jeong Hun spun and back kicked the outsider.

The outsider retaliated by directing Jeong Hun's leg and also returning a Back Kick of his own.

Lee Jeong Hun blocks with his arms and glared at the outsider.

They both draw their weapon right infront of the captured Imoogi, and get into position to start the fight.
