Chapter 1520: Dark Red Male Medusa

1520 Dark Red Male Medusa Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

“I’ll help you!” Heidi flew out of the ravine and swiftly approached Mo Fan’s position.

Heidi was a sentimental person too. She would not want to see the Steel-Armored Beast sacrifice itself after helping the convoy to reach safety.

When Heidi entered the area, space began to twist extensively. The Black Medusae that were initially moving swiftly slowed down significantly, as if they had entered an invisible swamp.

Hundreds of Black Medusae were slowed down by the swamp-like spatial power. As they did, the lightning with twelvefold damage amplification gave them no chance of survival. They were turned into black ash immediately, their Soul Remnants and Soul Essences flying into Mo Fan’s Pendant!

The smaller creatures were massacred brutally. A bigger male Medusa could not stand it any longer.

Its body had a hint of red. A brownish color symbolized the lowest level for both the Medusas and the Gorgons. Black was the next level, and red was the symbol of the Commander-levels. Their color was not fixed, but would shift gradually as their cultivation and strength improved.

The male Medusa was dark red, indicating that it was a Commander-level creature. If it was bright red, it would likely be a dangerous Ruler-level creature. Even the army would not dare challenge a Ruler-level creature recklessly.

The Dark Red Male Medusa was not particularly big. It lifted half of its body into the air, like a sturdy tree with an oval head. Its scales were smooth and densely packed. Its poisonous fangs were concealed inside its mouth, but the hood along its neck was fully extended, making its head look four times bigger than its initial size!

It was a sign that the Medusa was enraged. The extended hood projected a large shadow below it, and Mo Fan and Heidi started feeling a little dizzy…

“Don’t look at the skin under its hood, it can make you hallucinate!” the old mercenary shouted at them.

Heidi and Mo Fan finally noticed the strange patterns on the male Medusa’s hood. The patterns had a hallucinatory effect. Many living creatures had been swallowed alive by the creature and slowly digested by it after falling unconscious from hallucinations!

Mo Fan and Heidi backed away slightly to create some distance between them and the male Medusa. The strange patterns were like a strong mental attack. The redder these creatures were, the closer their capabilities came to the real Medusa. They were experts at confusing their targets, placing them under illusions, and inflicting mental damage on them!

“You take care of the Lesser Medusae,” Mo Fan said.

Heidi frowned. She grunted in a displeased tone, “I’ll take care of it, go save the Steel-Armored Beast!”

“Fine!” Mo Fan was not in the mood to argue with her. He fought his way toward the Steel-Armored Beast under the protection of Heidi’s Space Magic.

The Steel-Armored Beast was still holding onto its last breath. The smaller Black Medusae were not too fond of its hard meat, and the bigger Medusae were not willing to swallow it due to its heavy weight.

The fact had allowed the Steel-Armored Beast to stay alive this long, but it was suffering from serious injuries. It would still die from their poison, even if the Medusae ignored it.

“Blink!”

Mo Fan noticed that he was too slow. He quickly cast the Advanced Space Magic.

Mo Fan vanished amid silver sparkles, and ripples suddenly spread out in the air around three hundred and thirty-meters ahead of his previous location. A figure swiftly took shape there, resolving into none other than Mo Fan in his black coat!

As soon as Mo Fan showed up, another male Medusa with the same red-black color lunged at him from only twenty meters away. Mo Fan did not even have the chance to see the creature’s true appearance. He only saw its poisonous fangs and pitch-black throat coming right at him. He immediately turned into a shadow bird and fled for his life!

“I won’t do that again!” Mo Fan grunted while he escaped to safety.

Blinking forward into a group of demon creatures was not a good idea at all. He might appear right under the fangs of some of them, especially when there was no way to pinpoint where he would land. He might just place himself right into the mouth of the enemy if he made a careless mistake, but he could only Blink to somewhere within his range of vision when he was in the middle of a chaotic battle.

“Heidi, take care of this one too!” Mo Fan yelled while running.

Heidi was around five hundred meters away. She had just knocked the previous male Medusa flying. She was shocked to see another male Medusa that was redder than the previous one closer to Mo Fan!

The male Medusa that Heidi had just dealt with was already a Great Commander-level creature, which meant the one chasing after Mo Fan was clearly even stronger than that. Heidi quickly flew through the air and used her Will to establish a tall Wall of Space between Mo Fan and the Dark Red Male Medusa!

The male Medusa was a little dumb, and did not sense the presence of the Wall of Space. It rammed right into the wall and rebounded back in a complete somersault.

“Imprison!”

Heidi quickly set up five walls around the male Medusa while it was dizzy from the collision sealing it within the Space Box.

“Thousand Piercing Arrows!”

Heidi focused on two things at once. She quickly used her powerful Will to form lances and spears in the air while trapping the Dark Red Male Medusa in the cage. They formed around the cage in a spectacular manner.

She fired off the lances and spears at the Dark Red Male Medusa before it could break free from the cage!

The lances and spears left countless holes in the ground. The male Medusa had extremely thick scales, yet it was still gushing blood after being hit by Heidi’s Arrows of Will.

The Dark Red Male Medusa had now turned into a bright red Medusa. Its blood formed little streams on the ground, but the injuries were nowhere enough to cost the Dark Red Male Medusa its life. Its triangular eyes were glaring at Heidi like spotlights.

The male Medusa swung its body and tail around in a rage, trying to break the cage trapping it after it was injured. It unleashed a tremendous force, while trying to pounce at Heidi. It opened its mouth and spit out a poisonous mist. The corrosive spit splattered all over the area around her!

Heidi was long prepared for the move. She emitted a silver glow before vanishing into thin air just ahead of the poisonous rain.

Heidi was able to travel further away with Blink than Mo Fan. She landed at a spot with fewer Black Medusae around four hundred meters away, and began to Channel a stronger spell, using the Sound Element this time. A dark blue harp materialized in front of her as her fingers plucked its strings, following the tempo of the incantation she was murmuring!

The Sound Element relied heavily on incantations. Every tone she uttered and played required all her attention, as the Channeling would be interrupted if she made the slightest mistake. The way of doing it might be different, but it was similar to constructing the Star Orbits, Star Patterns, and Star Constellations for any other spell!

A series of enchanting notes drifted across the battlefield, swiftly combining into a deadly melody. The whole area began to vibrate vigorously under its effect.

Just as Heidi was about to complete the melody, the sand below her feet caved in. A female Medusa suddenly burst out from the ground and swallowed Heidi whole!

The melody came to a stop as Heidi disappeared. The terrifying Dark Red Female Medusa sprang into the sky like a shark that had risen from the deep ocean, sending chills down the spines of the people watching on the other side of the ravine!

The Dark Red Female Medusa had shown up out of nowhere. No one had expected it to be hiding below the ground. Heidi had been focusing on playing the Soul-Twisting Melody, and had not expected to be ambushed by the cunning female Medusa. Everyone stared blankly at the Dark Red Female Medusa as it reached the highest point of its jump and slowly fell back to the ground!

“Holy crap, shit’s about to go down!” Zhao Manyan yelled. He no longer dared to be a bystander. He quickly ran down the ravine to the other side.

“Can we even make it in time? She has been eaten already!” Mu Bai was a little slower with his reaction, but he still followed behind Zhao Manyan.

“We have to at least retrieve her body. Otherwise, Brianca is going to skin us alive when she comes back,” Zhao Manyan said.

“…”

The Medusae were the most vicious creatures in the deserts, and could not afford to be underestimated. Many strong Mages had ended up as food in their stomachs, and even when they had fully grown and become much stronger, humans were still the most delicious food for them!

“She tried to bite off more than she could chew!” the General harrumphed coldly. He did not have any pity for Heidi’s death.

The mentor of the European University Institute, Vani was stunned for a long time too. He did not know whether he should lend a hand.

There were too many demon creatures. The whole Medusa Mountain was scattered across three kilometers of the ravine. Even he was not confident of surviving, so how could he possibly allow his students to risk their lives?

“Mentor?” Zoey blurted out with a confused look. She could not stand it any longer.

“Don’t bother, the Summoned Beast is going to die for sure… the girl is already dead too,” Vani said sternly.

There were just too many Black Medusae, and the bigger Medusae were extremely terrifying to fight against. They had safely reached their destination, why would they bother to go out there and die for the sake of a Contracted Beast? They should learn how to assess their own strength. It was fine to lose some of their integrity if it meant they could stay alive, right?

“You all kept saying how good you are along the way, yet they are the ones that are willing to help. European University Institute… I finally learned what kind of people you are,” a nearby mercenary smirked.

A few women in the convoy started chatting among themselves too. They were all enumerating the shortcomings of the people from the European University Institute.

Vani blushed upon hearing the criticism, yet remained unmoved. He would not place his students in danger!
