The Lycodon Naja is a rare evolution of a snake monster as they are said to have the characteristics of a dragon. It is even classified as a low-class dragon due to the small amount of dragon blood in its veins. It also has a poisonous breath attack as it can release large amounts of acidic poison. The soulbound Pangil is this type of monster.

Nishui did not fully avoid the poison breath attack as he got hit in the left shoulder. The armor that he wore could be seen getting melted by the breath attack. He could not take a breather also as Espada aimed for his neck at a fast speed. He dodged the attack, but he tripped and fell.

“High Summon: Ginto” Arsenal stated as he did not let this chance got to deal damage to his opponent.

He summoned a giant golden scaly ball on top of Nishui. Nishui could not dodge on time and got pummeled by the giant golden scaly ball. All the while, Arsenal is gaining the favor of the God of War.

Nishui thought that it would be an easy match and he got angry at himself for being so cocky. He activated a skill to strengthen himself and toss the giant golden scaly ball that is flattening him. With the ball monster out of the way, Nishui recollected himself and became serious. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

The golden round scaly ball is actually a Golden Pangolin. A monster that is said to be very timid but boasts exceptional defense. All three of Arsenal’s most powerful soulbounds is now present in the battlefield.

The Gladius Lupus named Espada which are monsters that have great speed and mastery over the sword. They are said to even use sword skills which could rival the Sword Saints if trained to the peak. The Lycodon Naja, a lower-class dragon, that can spit poisonous breath that can corrode everything.

Nishui noticed that his opponent clearly hid his strength in the previous matches. Rather, no one paid attention to them much as they were not really featured much in the first and second events. Sometimes being inconspicuous has its advantages. Nishui needed water to truly overpower his opponent since he started to show his cards.

“If there is no water then I would just summon it. Drizzle!” Nishui stated as he suddenly started to pound his chest. .

The skies suddenly become dark as droplets of water suddenly start to fall down on the battlefield. Nishui started to increase his strength with the arrival of rain. The rain lasts for thirty minutes which means that he can finish the battle with the rain still taking effect.

Nishui’s stats are increased whenever he is drenched in water or in bodies of water. He became twice as fast than he was previously and use that in his advantage. Nishui moved like a phantom in the rainy weather which became struggle to Arsenal.

Arsenal’s soulbound named Pangil tried to spit its poisonous breath on Nishui, but the latter was too fast to be hit. Ginto, the Golden Pangolin tried to ram its body towards Nishui, but the latter got evaded easily as well. The only soulbound that could follow Nishui is Espada but even it could not hit the water goblin player.

Nishui bombarded Arsenal with his Staff Arts and almost sent the summoner to death’s door. Arsenal transferred most of the damage to Ginto. The golden pangolin could be seen having cracks on its sturdy shell as a result of the damage transfer.

“I guess this match is already decided once that Nishui guy made it rain.” One of the audiences muttered to his seatmate.

“Why does that name Arsenal seem familiar?” His seatmate stated.

“He probably just has someone with the same name that you have fought before.” The one who originally spoke added.

“No! I remember now! There is actually a summoner that is ranked 50 in a city ruled by the Church of War. He must be that guy!” His seatmate stated but the other person did not believe it.

“It must be some other person as I also know of that rank 50 person that is said to be very elusive. He is also a summoner that used his soulbounds in a unique way.” The person in the audience stated.

“The guy that summons swords is the one ranked 50. That guy has legit monster soulbounds.” They said in unison, but the next scene made their jaws drop.

As Nishui is about to hit Arsenal in the head to try and finish off his opponent in battle, Arsenal suddenly became resolute and calm. Nishui suddenly had goosebumps when he felt the sudden transformation of his opponent, but he cannot stop his attack.

“Summoner Arts: Secret Sword – Gladius Lupus” Arsenal stated.

Arsenal who had no weapon in hand suddenly had a sword in hand. The base of the blade had an armored wolf as a motif with the blade coming out of its open mouth.

Arsenal has gained the 50% damage increase provided by the Secret Sword – Gladius Lupus.

Arsenal has gained the 30% agility increase provided by the Secret Sword – Gladius Lupus.

Arsenal now matching the speed of the buffed Nishui slashed his opponent. Nishui screamed in pain as his chest got slashed. Thankfully, his healing factor is also improved when in water.

“Summoner Arts: Secret Sword – Lycodon Naja” Arsenal stated.

Arsenal now carries two swords and aimed it towards Nishui. He first slashed using the wolf sword, but it got blocked by Nishui’s staff. He then used the other sword to do a thrusting attack and succeeded.

You have poisoned your opponent.

Your opponent will lose 5% of his health every minute. This effect can stack.

Nishui’s eyes bulged as he did not resist the poison. He must finish off the summoner in front of him before he is the one that loses the battle.

“Water Crash: Tidal Slam!” Nishui stated as the water element around him empowered his staff and came crashing down on Arsenal.

“Summoner Arts: Secret Sword – Golden Pangolin” Arsenal muttered as a golden sword with hard scales blocked the attack that came from Nishui.
