Chapter 117 - Snake Gang

When Dror and the rest turned back they could see a bald man with a weird symbol tattooed on his bald head.

The man was holding a small device like a cellphone and pressed it, but he seemed to be surprised and tried to press it again.

But before he could, a white shadow appeared before him and a white line was closing to his neck.

The bald man seemed to be calm and dodged the move in a weird agile manner, while distancing himself from the attacker, it seemed like the guy had really flexible joints.

But Ronin was persistent; he followed the guy closely while launching one attack after the other, to his surprise Ronin found that the bald man was a little too flexible and agile, he dodged the attacks in all kinds of weird manners.

For some reason dror felt like this guys moves were very familiar, but he didn't indulge on it much and made his own move by creating stone hands to appear besides the bald man's legs to catch him of guard, but the person seemed to have detected it and dodged the stone hands immediately but this gave a small opening for Ronin to make his move.

Before Ronin could make his move the bald man's normal black eyes turned to vertical yellow eyes and he opened his mouth to spray out a blue gas, Ronin who was going to continue with his attack instinctively withdrew.

Ronin kept on falling back from the area where the blue gas was spreading, But the space in the hall that they were fighting was very limited.

Ronin joined the rest of his team and now everyone was prepared to attack together, but before they made the move Laurel stopped everyone by holding her hand out, then she spoke out loudly.

" What is the snake gang doing here… ?

"

The area where the bald guy had been standing before was now filled with blue gas and the visibility was very low, but they could hear a laugh from it.

"Haha…. Little girl you are really interesting, I didn't think anyone would recognize me on this planet…

"

Dror and the rest could see something moving in the blue smoke, but it didn't look human.

But they didn't have to wait as the thing came out, it was a big black snake with black scales that looked metallic having a blue tint to it and it's yellow vertical pupils were glowing.

By the sheer size of it, it seemed like it could swallow one of them easily, and now Dror understood why the moves of the bald man appeared a little familiar.

Anthropomorph's who reached True warrior realm had the ability to change their form. They could change to either a complete human form or complete beast form , this was a unique ability to every anthropomorph and clearly the bald guy was a snake anthropomorph at the peak of true warrior realm.

The snake gang was a group of snake anthropomorph who dealt in all kind of shady business and they were known to be notorious and ruthless in their dealings.

What surprised Laurel was that the snake gang was only active in two or three planets to the north of the Taraveda star system; they shouldn't have appeared here.

As everyone paused, Dror knew battle was not a place to be idle so he made his move.

" air compression…

"

After gaining the death impartation from Earnest, the number of techniques that Dror understood was enormous.

He pushed both his hands forward like forming an energy ball, but what was formed was a poison ball after compressing the whole blue gas in the area.

Everyone in Dror's group was gobsmacked , they were staring at him with eyes bulging out… they couldn't stop from cursing in their mind

" Hey, wasn't this person known to be an Earth elemental warrior, how can he be so good at air element manipulation… this shameless fellow is one of those sheep pretenders ..

"

Laurel was the first to calm down

" everyone put on the filtration mask, but beware the poison can seep into your body through skin too, but it would be much slower..

"

The snake was not ideal as it moved at a speed that was impossible for such a huge beast and reached Dror to land a head punch in order to interrupt his gathering of the venom.

But Dror evaded the move with an Earth skip and someone had already appeared in his place to block the snake's further moves, it was the white dragon.

Their own poison was very precious to every snake as it took years for an ordinary snake to cultivate its poison and ordinary poison didn't work on even someone in the warrior realm. Similarly an anthropomorph even in the true warrior realm needed a lot of time to accumulate its potent poison, they would never waste it.

Of Course the case of the snakes in the red and black smoke was entirely different, they could easily utilize the poison present in the black smoke.

While Ronin was able to block the snake's advances, he was not able to land any damage either. The scales on the snake was extremely tough like a magical armor.

" light slash..

"

Ronin burned his warrior essence to increase his speed to another realm and a brighter glow appeared above his blade before thinning out to a small sharp line.

For the people who were observing from the side it appeared like ronin glowed in a bright white light and he disappeared to appear behind the big snake like instant teleportation.

Then a line appeared in the area below the snake's head and blood slowly started seeping out.

Its scales were clearly cut into and it paused for a second.

The other rebel soldiers were not idle either, when they saw the opening all of them attacked together.

" Air wave , fire slash, earth spear …. earth capture …

"

their attacks were timely and accurate to land on the exact spot of the injury.

All kinds of energy blasts were occurring around, Laurel formed a water wall to protect the children in the rooms.

When the dust settled down the floor and the walls were damaged and the snake had been blasted to one of the side walls.

Even Though Dror was containing the poison, he was also carefully observing the battle with a special eye technique called ' Micro view'.

He yelled out in his mind

" **, this guy really does have white eye's …

"

Dror has been observing Ronin carefully when he made his special move and Dror saw that when Ronin utilized his whole strength even his eyes had turned white.

Just as every one relaxed a little an intense killing intent enveloped all of them, soon everyone focused on the area where the snake had landed, it slowly wriggled and stood up again.

The area around its neck had a big opening, the attack from the rest had clearly widened the injury created by Ronin, but the injury started healing up.

The eyes of the snake had become red at some point, it appeared like it was in some kind of berserk state right now.

It opened its mouth with a shriek and sprayed out a large volume of blue gas this time and before anyone could react it moved very fast in an aggressive manner to appear right before Ronin and blasted him away with its tail sweep..

Ronin was an agility based warrior when the blue gas enveloped the area his area of movement reduced further and after entering the berserk state the snake became much faster and its tail sweep even faster.

Ronin had used one of his special moves just now, which had consumed a lot of his warrior essence and he couldn't dodge in time.

He was blasted into a wall inside the blue gas, spitting out blood. He tried using his warrior essence to form a barrier around his body and escaped from the blue gas. But the enemy was onto him again by that time.

The rest of the team other than Dror and Laurel was affected by the blue venom, they could feel their warrior essence draining out slowly as they became weak.

Dror didn't sit idle either as he tried to compress the poisonous gas again towards himself, but his Air controlling skills were not that high to completely compress it, but he managed to clear out a lot of the gas from affecting others.

While Ronin was continuously trying to dodge the snake's attack, someone else made their move.

A silver glimmer appeared and then one of the snake's eyes was blasted off, A tiny hole appeared passing through the snake's eye to the brain.

It was Laurel who used her magical artifact demon needle, she seemed to have weakened after using that move, but still she held onto the water shield that she has been maintaining.

The snake was completely enraged and started destroying everything in the surrounding in its rage and death struggle.

Ronin didn't stay ideal as he used his special technique again and landed another slash to the exact same spot as before . The wounded spot has not yet been fully regenerated so the attack became fatal and this time he almost managed to cut half way through the snake's body.

The rest of the soldiers also took the chance to land their attack, but after being affected by the poison their attacks were weak.

Dror didn't miss the chance either he quickly formed an earthen ball around the compressed poison gas, and then used his earth golem technique to form two big golems who pinned the snake down for a few seconds.

Every one used this chance to land more attacks on the previous injuries, Dror even used two earth spikes to land fatal blows.

Soon the snake fell down with a big thud and returned back to human form.
