Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 254 - 166: Carlos Python Bloodline, Seed of Killing Intent (Part 2)
Chapter 254: Chapter 166: Carlos Python Bloodline, Seed of Killing Intent (Part 2)
Sunan glanced at Yiluo. This woman is quite average in solo combat, but once she cooperates with allies, she can exhibit a synergy that makes one plus one greater than two, making her the best support.
After suffering serious injuries, Black Forest’s situation suddenly became precarious, with the serpent head launching relentless attacks that left him defenseless and in a sorry state.
However, what he feared even more were Saulo and Yiluo watching intently from the sidelines.
If these two managed to seize another opportunity for a sneak attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Black Forest loudly called for help from the others.
However, the others were also overwhelmed at the moment, preoccupied with dealing with the serpent head, unable to spare a hand.
Ten breaths later, Black Forest was once again caught off guard by a sneak attack using Illusion Technique by Yiluo. Saulo seized the opportunity to close in, and along with the serpent head attacking from another side, they tore Black Forest into pieces!
The battle had started less than ten minutes ago, but despite having the advantage in numbers, the small hut in the dense forest suffered its first casualty.
Witnessing this scene, Night Owl and the others felt their hearts sink to rock bottom.
They never expected Saulo’s strength to be this terrifying.
Despite nearly fighting one against seven, he was able to suppress them so thoroughly that they couldn’t even lift their heads. This kind of strength would be unparalleled across the entire Starlight Continent!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of sounds suddenly erupted.
Accompanied by a streak of silver light flashing past, the seven serpent heads were almost simultaneously shattered.
“Fall back!”
Sunan shouted in a deep voice while absorbing the Demon Pattern Core into his body.
The already dwindling spiritual power had been further consumed by the recent strike, and he couldn’t use the Demon Pattern Core any longer; otherwise, it would drain his spiritual power dry.
Night Owl and the others were momentarily stunned but quickly snapped to action, gathering behind Sunan.
Although they didn’t understand Sunan’s intentions, his previously displayed formidable strength had already made him the backbone of the small hut in the dense forest.
In the current situation, the group instinctively turned to him for leadership.
“What, are you planning to surrender?”
Saulo said expressionlessly, his eyes glancing at the serpent heads slowly regenerating.
Sunan chuckled and said, “Carlos Python bloodline, right.”
Upon hearing this, Saulo, who had maintained a detached expression since the battle began, finally showed a hint of emotion, his pupils narrowing slightly.
Night Owl and the others noticed this and immediately realized that the so-called Carlos Python bloodline was the bloodline Saulo had fused with!
As long as they knew the opponent’s bloodline abilities, they could likely find a method to counteract them.
Thinking of this, the group suddenly felt invigorated.
The Traveler hurriedly asked, “Sunan, what abilities does the Carlos Python bloodline have?”
Sunan replied leisurely, “The Carlos Python is an ancient exotic beast, feeding on the malice of its prey. They plant seeds of malice within their victims, and any creature with the seeds of malice will continuously provide nourishment to the Carlos Python as long as they harbor malice against it. Furthermore, any attack originating from the victim will not harm the python but instead be absorbed by it, strengthening its body.”
Night Owl and the others gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.
Is there really such a bizarre and powerful bloodline?
It seems the translucent serpent heads that had previously disappeared into their bodies were indeed the seeds of malice.
No wonder Saulo dared to show himself despite their apparent numerical advantage.
The Carlos Python’s bloodline ability is perfect for fighting against many with few!
Within the range of the serpent heads’ influence, the more opponents there are, the more nourishment the Carlos Python gains, thus increasing its fighting capacity!
Especially when opponents aren’t aware of the bloodline’s abilities, they’re prone to inadvertently providing Saulo with plenty of nourishment and energy.
That’s exactly what happened earlier.
Rose finally understood why Saulo intentionally let them escape earlier.
It was to set the stage for this exact situation.
“This is the first time I’ve encountered a Wizard Apprentice who recognized the Carlos Python bloodline.”
Saulo looked at Sunan deeply.
“Your knowledge is much broader than I imagined.”
“The Stone Scorpion has already fallen by your hand, hasn’t it?”
Sunan acknowledged frankly, “Indeed, the Stone Singer’s bloodline abilities are strong, but with foresight on how to counter it, dealing with it isn’t difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Night Owl and the others couldn’t help but look at Sunan in shock.
The mysterious Stone Scorpion was killed by Sunan?
And what bloodline does the Stone Singer have?
For a moment, the group found themselves speechless.
Wizard Apprentices are regarded as symbols of vast knowledge by ordinary people.
Yet, standing beside Sunan at that moment, they inexplicably felt like underachievers.
Sunan paid no mind to the reactions of the others from the small hut, waved his hand without looking back, and said, “You all should leave here.”
“This guy isn’t someone that more numbers can deal with; I’ll handle him.”
Night Owl and the others hesitated just for a moment before obediently retreating.
Even though they understood the Carlos Python bloodline’s abilities, they still had no effective countermeasures.
After all, the best weapons to deal with those serpent heads are magical artifacts.
However, this happens to be a shortcoming shared by many Wizard Apprentices, including them.
At most, they possessed one or two Micro-Light Level magical artifacts, which had been used up in earlier battles, leaving them almost defenseless against the serpent heads, merely turning into tools to deliver nourishment to the opponent.
One had to admit, Saulo’s Carlos Python bloodline was extraordinarily effective against Wizard Apprentices.
No wonder so many Level 3 Wizard Apprentices had died at his hands.
Saulo appeared indifferent to the retreat of Night Owl and the others, his gaze fixed firmly on Sunan.
In his eyes, Sunan was the most troublesome enemy!
Once Sunan was dead, the others from the small hut were trivial.
“Is Sunan going to be okay?” Rose said worriedly.
Scepter said in a low voice, “Don’t forget Sunan still has the Refined Gold Golem.”
The group was startled, then their eyes lit up.
Of course!
Puppets are external objects and don’t have emotions such as malice, making them the best choice against the Carlos Python bloodline abilities.
And Sunan conveniently has a Refined Gold Golem!
Golems are bulky and can’t be carried in a Space Ring, which is why they hadn’t considered this route initially.
Only after Scepter’s reminder did they recall Sunan’s means of carrying a golem.
But soon, the group calmed down.
A single Refined Gold Golem in this level of battle can’t decisively turn the tide, though it can serve as auxiliary combat strength, slightly increasing Sunan’s chances.
After all, even excluding the Carlos bloodline ability, Saulo remains one of the top-tier Level 3 Wizard Apprentices.
The cavern had inexplicably fallen silent.
Saulo’s seven serpent heads had fully regenerated, flicking their tongues as his cold and vicious gaze shot toward Sunan like a sharp sword.
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared beside Sunan.
Night Owl and the others were surprised upon seeing it.
That figure wasn’t the Refined Gold Golem as they expected, but a beautiful girl with snow-white skin.
“Is this… a puppet?” Traveler asked in disbelief.
Others also showed signs of confusion.
They could sense the distinct soul aura from the girl, certainly marking her as a puppet.
Yet, they had never seen a puppet resembling a human so closely.
To enhance combat strength, puppets typically make concessions in structure and appearance, at most maintaining a humanoid shape, making them easily distinguishable from humans.
Only puppets crafted not for combat or labor, but purely for aesthetics or some specific purpose, are made to resemble humans exactly.
Such puppets are usually referred to as dolls, separate from combat and labor puppets.
The girl in front appeared to be a doll.
But in this situation, why would Sunan take out a doll?
For a moment, Night Owl and the others couldn’t fathom.
Opposite, Saulo sized up the girl doll for a while, his eyes narrowing.
“So this is your trump card?”
“Doesn’t it look like one?” Sunan smiled faintly, issuing a command to the Secret Puppet, “Show him your might.”
