Chapter 514: Three Heads

The monster grew frustrated when its strikes failed to kill Himmel Soan.

The cow and elephant opened their mouths together, apparently trying to launch a joint attack on Himmel Soan. It made him jump.

It never occurred to him that the monster could use two heads at the same time. If it had the cow’s strength and the elephant’s defense, how terrifying would it be?

The cow and elephant roared together, filling the cave with intimidating energy.

Sometimes, one plus one could be more than two, as was the case with the nine-headed monster. When the elephant joined the cow, the monster’s strength more than doubled.

Hum!

The two modes were about to activate together when a loud humming sound filled the air. It seemed to have come from ancient times and suppressed the monster’s power.

Ultimately, the monster failed to activate both modes at the same time. It gave a resentful look to the end of the cave, the noise’s origin.

“The sound came from the end of the cave. Can it be the thing that was calling Firey? It suppressed the monster.

“Is this monster trying to be recognized by that thing? Is defeating the monster our only way to get out of here?”

Himmel Soan had many assumptions.

Anyway, he had a more accurate understanding of the monster now.

It could only utilize one mode at a time, so he was essentially fighting the most unthreatening form of this monster.

Having nine heads meant the monster had nine modes and nine abilities. If it activated all the abilities at the same time, its power would be beyond imagination.

Himmel Soan knew the man in the mural must have fought the monster in its most capable form. Even so, he still managed to defeat it.

The more Himmel Soan learned about the monster, the more surprised he was.

Who was that man in the mural? What happened in that era?

Himmel Soan couldn’t help wondering.

“Master, watch out!” Firey’s voice woke Himmel Soan up from his reverie.

The monster was enraged after being suppressed by the sound. The wolf’s head bared its fangs, and its eyes had a malicious glint in them.

The wolf’s head represented savagery. The monster didn’t gain any improvement in its power, but it posed as much threat as any other head.

Savagery wasn’t an ability. It was more like an aura. Someone of higher status could have a natural deterrence effect on those that were inferior. Himmel Soan felt he was restricted in every possible way.

The monster’s capability remained the same, but Himmel Soan was restrained. Under such circumstances, he was at a disadvantage.

“You’ve attacked me repeatedly. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?” Himmel Soan was genuinely angry now.

He felt the monster was looking down on him. Gripping his dagger, he chose to confront the monster instead of dodging the attack.

The blade clashed with the wolf’s fangs. Sparks flew everywhere, and the monster roared in pain.

Taking the opportunity, Himmel Soan stabbed the dagger into the wolf’s mouth, but the monster smacked him with its paw.

Himmel Soan flew back like a cannonball and only stopped over a hundred meters away.

Blood gushed out of the monster’s mouth. The power of the dagger made it impossible for the wound to heal.

This time, Himmel Soan gained the upper hand. Although he was knocked away, he only suffered from a minor injury.

In contrast, the wolf’s head couldn’t keep fighting anymore. If it hadn’t smashed Himmel Soan away in time, he would have punctured its head and destroyed it for good.

The pain drove the monster crazy. It frantically turned to the abilities of the eight other heads.

The battle intensified. Their earlier engagement felt like a trial run in comparison.

Firey watched nervously. The impact of their single strike could destroy a city. If the cave hadn’t been protected by that barrier, it would have collapsed already.

Himmel Soan threw everything he knew at the monster.

Their fight created many new holes in the ground.

Boom!

Himmel Soan found an opportunity to land a successful attack, destroying the bird’s head. The monster lost its second head.

The success came at a price. The claws left a mark on Himmel Soan. If he hadn’t dodged in time, his entrails would have been all over the ground.

“Master…” It pained Firey to see this.

She had seldom seen Himmel Soan in this state. He had always struck her as an invincible man. It was one of the most difficult battles that he had ever encountered.

“There!” Himmel Soan made another strike, cutting off the cow’s head. With it, he destroyed the head with the greatest physical strength.

The monster finally switched to the lion’s head. The mouth opened, and the energy filled the cave. It seemed to have turned the monster into a god.

If any other cultivators were here, they would drop to their knees as soon as they laid eyes on the monster.

Himmel Soan was about the only one who could withstand that energy. Even so, he was still affected. He almost felt it was blasphemy to attack the monster.

“I don’t care who you are. I must kill you!” Himmel Soan cleared his mind.

He knew it was the effect of the monster’s ability.

The lion was the king of all beasts. When the lion’s head exerted its power, the beast could command all creatures.

The clumsy monster suddenly moved so fast that it was impossible to follow it.

Himmel Soan was surprised. That was the ability of the bird’s head, which should be gone already.

Thump!

The monster waved its paw. If Himmel Soan hadn’t reacted in time, it would have landed on his head.

There was a big hole in the ground—a demonstration of the cow’s strength.

Himmel Soan struck back and stabbed the monster in the stomach with the dagger, but the blade only went in for a few centimeters.

The elephant’s defensive power made it impossible to severely injure the monster with the dagger.
