32: Chapter 32: The Final Arrival! Titan Serpent!

"Boom—rumble—!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the earth, the Titan Python, a creature so massive it defied imagination, finally revealed its body—composed entirely of destruction and power—before everyone!

It was simply too big!

So big that the entire cavern camp looked as tiny as a crude sand table model in front of it!

Its body, thicker than a water vat, coiled together like a rolling black hill!

Its hideous, triangular giant head was raised high, even surpassing the height of the cliff where Qin Yu and his group were located!

A pair of vertical pupils, as large as lanterns and shimmering with cold, evil golden light, looked down from above with indifference at the group below—the "intruders" who, in its eyes, were no different from ants.

【Ding! Warning! Warning!】

【"Hell-grade" unit detected— "Abyssal Shadow · Titan Python" has entered the battlefield!】

【This unit is the final BOSS of this assessment! It possesses multiple skills such as "Absolute Defense," "Giant Force Crushing," "Death Coil," and "Abyssal Poison Mist"!】

【Lord, please eliminate it as soon as possible, otherwise the Tribe core will be destroyed!】

【If the assessment fails, all members will be erased!】

A series of blood-red, urgent system prompts rang crazily in Qin Yu's mind!

"Absolute Defense..."

Qin Yu's eyelids twitched violently!

He didn't need the system to remind him; he had already felt it himself!

That terrifying aura that almost seemed to freeze space itself, that absolute suppression originating from a higher level of life—more tyrannical and pure than 【Dragon Might】!

It made his blood, which had been boiling from the slaughter, start to turn cold!

Strong!

So strong it was despair-inducing!

This was simply not an existence they could contend with at their current stage!

This was no longer an assessment!

This was the system forcing them to die!

"Roar!"

The Titan Python seemed very dissatisfied that so many "little bugs" had suddenly appeared in its territory.

It opened its bloodthirsty maw, large enough to swallow an adult elephant, and let out a dull roar—not a hiss, but more like the suppressed bellow of a volcano before eruption!

Whoosh—!

A terrifying blast of air, stinking to the extreme and almost solidifying, erupted from its mouth!

Like a Category 12 hurricane, it violently swept through the entire camp!

Those newly reinforced walls and the defensive fortifications built with countless sweat and blood were as fragile as paper in the face of this terrifying blast!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Large sections of the walls were uprooted and torn to shreds in mid-air!

The "corpse walls" piled up with monster carcasses were blown away, and countless severed limbs fell from the sky like rain!

Even the ten-meter-tall 【watchtower】 groaned with a teeth-grinding "creak" under the impact of the blast, as if it would fall apart in the next second!

"Ah!"

"Help!"

Countless girls were blown off balance by the hurricane, unable to stand, and let out terrified screams!

The entire position, which had been as solid as a fortress just moments ago, crumbled before the final BOSS's first "breath"!

"Steady! Everyone, steady!"

Chen Xiao slammed her spear into the ground to barely steady herself. She roared with all her might, trying to pacify the soldiers whose morale had completely collapsed.

But it was useless!

In the face of absolute, overwhelming power, any courage or will seemed so pale and ridiculous!

Despair, like the deepest darkness, instantly devoured everyone's heart!

"It's over... We're dead..."

A girl looked at the god-like giant python, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes hollow, completely giving up on resistance.

"We can't beat it... This is simply not a monster we can defeat..."

"Mom... I want to go home..."

Crying rose and fell.

The morale and fighting spirit that had just been gathered after executing the traitor were wiped out in this moment by the Titan Python's earth-shattering entrance!

However, just at this moment!

A slightly youthful, yet determined voice suddenly rang out!

"I'll do it!"

It was Liu Wei!

That fledgling Arcanist!

Her small face was deathly pale from fear, and her body was trembling slightly.

But her eyes were exceptionally bright and firm!

She looked at the back standing firmly at the very front—the reliable figure like a mountain that blocked most of the wind pressure for them—and an unprecedented courage welled up from the bottom of her heart!

The Tribe leader hasn't given up yet!

How could she give up!

"Burn! All of my mental energy!"

Liu Wei let out a crisp cry, squeezing out all of her mental energy, which had barely recovered to less than half, without reservation!

Hum—!

A huge fireball, more solid, hotter, and several times larger than any previous one—almost the size of a basketball—burned fiercely in her palm!

The terrifying high temperature even caused the air around her to distort!

"Arcane · Explosive Fireball!"

This was the advanced version of the Fireball Spell she had just comprehended!

"Go to... hell! Monster!"

Liu Wei used all her strength to hurl the fireball, which contained all her hope and courage, fiercely toward the Titan Python's hideous head!

Whoosh—!

The huge fireball, trailing a long, orange-red flame, drew a resolute parabola in the air and smashed with pinpoint accuracy onto the Titan Python's face!

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering roar!

The scorching flames exploded violently!

A small mushroom cloud rose slowly above the giant python's head!

The power was several times greater than the "Corpse Explosion" Qin Yu had triggered with corpses before!

"Did it work?!"

Everyone's heart was in their throat!

They looked with anticipation toward the area shrouded in flames and thick smoke.

However, the next second.

A scene that made everyone's liver and gallbladder split occurred.

Whoosh...

A breeze blew past, scattering the smoke and dust in the sky.

The smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the Titan Python's hideous head, completely unscathed.

No...

It wasn't completely unscathed either.

On the spot where it was hit head-on by the fireball, on those black scales as hard as iron, there remained a...

A scorched mark about the size of a fingernail.

The Titan Python seemed to feel a bit of an itch on its face, so it impatiently shook its huge head.

The scorched mark easily... fell off with its movement.

Revealing the black scales underneath, still as smooth as new and shimmering with a metallic luster.

"..."

Liu Wei stared blankly at this scene, her mind going blank.

Her strongest attack, which had condensed all her power and hope, was just... scratching an itch for the opponent?

"Pfft!"

A huge wave of loss and despair overwhelmed her last line of psychological defense. Liu Wei felt a sweetness in her throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and her petite body fell backward limply.

It's over.

Truly over.

Even magic couldn't cause it any damage!

Physical defense, magic defense—both maxed out!

How is this supposed to be fought?!

The Titan Python seemed to be completely enraged by Liu Wei's "provocation."

Its pair of cold, emotionless golden vertical pupils suddenly locked onto the little thing that dared to "throw trash" at it.

It slowly opened its abyssal maw, large enough to swallow everything!

A dark green poisonous mist, even more terrifying and viscous than before, carrying a rich sulfur scent... began to condense crazily in its mouth!

【Abyssal Poison Mist】!

Once hit by this poisonous mist, there would be no living creatures left within a hundred meters!

However!

Just at this critical moment!

Just when everyone had fallen into the abyss called "despair," waiting for the final judgment to descend!

A weak but exceptionally clear voice, as if ringing directly in the depths of Qin Yu's soul, suddenly came!

"Qin Yu!"

It was Su Qingyao!

That Holy Priestess who had fallen into a deep coma!

Her voice carried a kind of unquestionable majesty that perceived the origin of all things!

"Listen to me!"

"Its defense is not impregnable!"

"All things have their 'logic,' and all things have their 'seams'!"

"Its 'seam' is at..."

"The vital spot! The reverse scale!!!"
