Chapter 1447
The Stone Leopard kept moving closer to Long Chen.
Snake Monarch kept moving back.
"90-10? Come on; only an idiot would say no to that offer. Not that I'm saying you're idiots, but some people might think that if you don't take the offer. Let's prove them wrong. Sit down, and we'll finalize a contract!"
The stone Leopard finally reached dangerously close to Long Chen. He was so close that he jumped towards the Snake Monarch.
"You!" Snake Monarch increased in size, becoming as big as the stone snake used to be. He didn't stop there though. He became even bigger in a split second, swinging his tail.
Thud~
The tail of the Snake Monarch hit the Stone Leopard, making it fly away.
"Ouch, is your skin made of stone or something?" Snake Monarch exclaimed, rolling his eyes. "Ah, right. I forgot."
"Honestly, though, I really am not weak. I was just going easy on you." The Snake Monarch started proudly.
He was even bigger than the elephant now, and he had just pushed the leopard away. His confidence reached an all time high.
"Who is next? Come!"
Boom~
As soon as the Snake Monarch challenged someone, the gravity around him changed, and he crashed on the floor as if a heavy mountain was pressing on his body.
He tried moving, but he couldn't even raise his head. It was as if he was a fly stuck in a sticky trap.
The Snake Monarch struggled hard, noticing the elephant getting closer to him. He couldn't see the elephant since he couldn't raise his head, but he could feel the vibration with each step, getting closer to him.
"This fatty, I'll get squeezed under him!" The Snake Monarch exclaimed; however, he couldn't do anything other than wait for his death while praying that it was going to be swift.
"Well, I must say, there are certainly much worse ways of dying than being crushed under a killer stone beast. It couldn't be much worse," he muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Still, if I become a ghost after my death, I'll keep haunting Long Chen! He pushed me to death while resting outside! I'll haunt him every night. It's his fault this Monarch is dying!"
"Did he tell you to brag so much?" Long Chen asked, smiling.
"Y-you are here? What are you doing? Stop the fatty before he flattens me! I quite like my curves!"
"You have zero curves in the first place. I don't think much would change even if I don't stop him," Long Chen's reply came as he floated above the Snake Monarch, keeping his arms folded as he observed the Elephant stepping towards them.
"Come on! Save me!"
"Only if you promise you will stop bragging, at least in my presence." Long Chen smiled.
"I never brag!"
"Is that so? Then you can take care of them yourself. Looks like I'm not needed."
"No, wait! I promise I will do it a little less. Just save me now!" Snake Monarch exclaimed. "Wait, what am I speaking? Even you can't defeat them! Just take me and leave!"
"Running once is enough. I'm in no mood to run twice, even if it's these statues," Long Chen replied.
Just as the Snake Monarch was under the immense pressure of gravity, Long Chen was under the same. However, he wasn't in a bad situation like the Snake Monarch, which surprised the Snake Monarch a bit.
He wanted to ask, but he soon guessed the answer.
"You aren't the real one, are you? You're the illusion? Do you even need to take me in your illusion?" Snake Monarch asked.
"Not quite," Long Chen responded as he waved his hand. With a wave of his hand, the Snake Monarch disappeared and appeared in the empty corner of the room.
"Don't disturb me now," he told the Snake Monarch, pulling out both his swords. In one hand, he held the Sword of Time while his other hand possessed the King's Sword.
"He's the real one? Why isn't he affected by gravity in that case?"
Just as he was wondering, he noticed a translucent light around Long Chen.
"Wait, I get it! He isn't an illusion, but he isn't there either! He is using his Law of Space to create a Spatial barrier. The barrier keeps him in a parallel space. No wonder!"
He was accurate as well. Long Chen wasn't going to let him be affected by such things again. Now that the Snake who could use space was gone and his Target was different, he could use the Law of Darkness freely.
Long Chen turned into a shadow that further split into a thousand shadows. Each shadow flew in a different direction. Some moved to the Giant Elephant while others went to the Leopard who was running to Long Chen while roaring.
The rest of the shadows moved to the other end of the room towards the two statues that still hadn't come back to life.
The Giant Elephant stopped moving as he saw all the Shadows. He raised one of his feet and stomped the ground.
Thud~
A golden wave of energy traveling through the ground. The golden wave kept destroying all the shadows that were moving towards the statue.
The Leopard also roared madly. This time his roar was different. It was filled with some destruction power. The vibrations from the roar were so destructive that they shredded all the shadows that were moving towards it.
"Not bad, but not good either," Long Chen's voice came from above the massive elephant as he Swung his Sword of Time, striking at the head of the Elephant.
At the other end, another Long Chen came out of the shadow that reached the other statues without being destroyed.
The shadow clone looked identical to Long Chen, except the fact that there was no shine in his eyes. He looked like a dead puppet.
The shadow clone was holding something in his right hand. It was a sharp white fang which was a meter long. It was taken from the stone statue of the Snake by Long Chen, who believed that it was certainly worthy of being a treasure.
The fang was hard to destroy, and more importantly, it was poisonous. It was as precious as a peak grade weapon.
Even though it was unclear if the poison was going to work on the statue, what was clear was the fact that the stone fang had a good chance to penetrate the stone statues, unlike the other weapons that were failing to do that in a single attack.
