Chapter 139: Chapter 139

The sinister appearance of the Dried Corpse Giant Monster made Du You’s skin crawl. However, the air here was running low, and the Dark Element Stone he needed was still inside, so he couldn’t wait.

With this thought, Du You waved his hand and released four Disintegration Spells.

Upon being attacked, the Dried Corpse Giant Monster finally reacted. Its hands suddenly transformed into a streak of light, and the claws swiftly intercepted his spells in mid-air.

In the next moment, his spells were unexpectedly blocked; the glowing claws seemed even more powerful than the shield of the heavily armed warrior he had encountered before.

Sure enough, this was a super monster created by Karl. Even though it was unfinished, its power was undeniable.

An idea popped into Du You’s mind, his hands emitted a red light, and then he released a Fire Snake Curse. Composed of fire elements, the Fire Snake Curse burnt without consuming oxygen. As long as it doesn’t ignite the mucus, he would be okay. Otherwise, Du You wouldn’t dare to use it in this circumstance, as it would only shorten the time he could sustain himself. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

The Fire Snake Curse was also blocked by a claw. But this wasn’t an ordinary spell.

Although it was blocked, it could not be neutralized. Upon hitting the target, the Fire Snake Curse transformed into four flame snakes as thick as a man’s arm and immediately coiled around the Dried Corpse Giant Monster.

As the fire snakes coiled around it, sparks ignited, scorch marks appeared on the monster’s body, and some areas seemed ready to ignite.

"As expected, this thing only has strong defense and magic resistance in its claws. Its body’s magic resistance isn’t much better than a dried corpse."

Just then, the attacked Dried Corpse Giant Monster became enraged. Its four heads looked straight at Du You simultaneously, opening their mouths to emit a strange scream that sounded like a broken bellows.

Its six legs began to move rapidly. Du You barely had time to respond.

Quickly retreating, a claw cut through the ground right where he had just stood.

"Damn, this thing is so powerful. I need to run." Du You felt that he was no match for this creature. Plus, he was running out of time and the monster was impervious to poison as well as his spells. Staying would mean death.

If it weren’t for the ongoing battle preventing him from leaving this world, Du You would have wanted to return at the first opportunity.

This Level 6 monster was not like the Undead Mage. Although they were the same level, Karl had focused on corpse crafting skills, but this dried corpse monster focused on offense. Even with its formidable foundation, Du You couldn’t match it.

If they competed head-on, Du You would be no match, even if there were several of him. Even though his star level was higher and his skills were better, he could not make up the disparity in power. If this dried corpse could have a star rating, then it wouldn’t be low.

Du You turned and ran without looking back. However, after running for a while, Du You came to a stop.

"Odd, why hasn’t it caught up?" Unable to contain his curiosity, Du You looked back and cautiously rounded a corner. Upon seeing the sight in front of him, he laughed. "Aha, it has this problem, too. Why didn’t I know this earlier?"

Du You saw that the Dried Corpse Giant Monster was actually stuck in the narrow passageway. Although he didn’t know what method Karl planned to use to get the monster out, it certainly wasn’t working, especially considering Karl was already dead.

The stone chamber was fine; although a bit cramped, at least the dried corpse giant monster could move around. But the narrow tunnels beyond were a completely different story.

The Dried Corpse Giant Monster furiously attacked the surrounding rocks, and the hard ore offered no resistance as it was smashed into fragments. However, the subsequent narrow tunnels couldn’t accommodate the monster’s massive body.

The claws were stuck behind, with only four heads shoved in the tunnel, crying out continuously towards Du You.

"Ha ha, now that you’ve turned into a sitting duck, I don’t have to be extra careful anymore. Here, taste my Disintegration Spell." Wearing an eerie smile, Du You approached like a villain.

The poor Dried Corpse Giant Monster desperately tried to squeeze into Du You’s direction but failed. This tunnel was like its natural enemy. That idiotic Undead Mage didn’t even think of this.

Four Disintegration Spells swirled between Du You’s fingers and flew out, all striking one of the monster’s heads. The Dried Corpse Giant Monster let out a strange howl filled with anger and resentment.

But there was no pain. After all, it didn’t understand the concept of pain. But Du You was stunned. The attack went through, but that attacked head only cracked, it was not shattered and could still move.

"It’s so tough, or maybe its magic resistance is high. It looks like not only the claws are unusual." Du You reacted instantly, hurling another four spells. This time, the head finally shattered.

The Dried Corpse Giant Monster, with one of its heads shattered, did not back down. Instead, it struggled even more desperately to reach Du You. It didn’t seem to comprehend the concept of death.

"Thirty-two spells required to blast four heads, and this assumes that each hit is successful. This is no small energy expenditure. If you weren’t stuck, I probably wouldn’t be able to defeat you even if I exhausted all my magic power." The power of this monster is truly formidable. If it wasn’t for its aesthetic appearance, which didn’t match his preferences, Du You might have been tempted to make it into his next summoned creature.

But for now, he had to eradicate it first. Du You continuously released Disintegration Spells, and soon, all four heads were shattered by him. Yet even with all four heads shattered, the monster continued to thrash around.

Amazed, Du You saw how tenacious its life force was. Let’s continue then, four more Disintegration Spells were released, striking the monster’s body.

The next moment, multiple cracks appeared on the Dried Corpse Giant Monster’s body, splintering into chunks. The body’s defense strength was far weaker than the heads, not to mention the claws.

After several rounds of attacks, the Dried Corpse Giant Monster was finally split into several chunks by Du You. Eventually, only a middle chunk was still moving, but without limbs, it posed no threat to Du You.

"What exactly is inside this thing?" Du You stared at the squirming chunk of flesh. He wanted to continue splitting it but didn’t want to damage whatever was inside, so he took out his Brave Warrior’s sword and began to slice the flesh chunk. Gradually, a pitch-black sphere appeared before Du You. The thick aura of death radiated from it unabashedly.
