Chapter 1733 - 1025: Ulashiro Attacks the Manus Squad

[Holy Beast Tail]

[A weapon made from the tail of the Spirit Temple Holy Beast]

[Highly flexible, its surface is covered with sharp spikes and contains a potent poison. Using it as a weapon would certainly be quite unpleasant.]

Wow.

When Tami picked up the whip formed from the Spirit Temple Holy Beast’s tail, an indescribable thrill surged through his heart.

He felt an urge to find something to lash at, preferably in a plantation. Is this what they call harboring a murder weapon and raising a killing intent?

Look at these gleaming poisonous spikes and the perfectly hardened exoskeleton. The weight is evenly distributed—this is truly the ideal whip of life.

"Although weapons that haven’t been strengthened by Forging Stone won’t have high power, poison shouldn’t be related to the weapon’s strength."

As soon as Tami had the Holy Beast Tail in hand, he swung it toward the Spirit Temple Holy Beast, the spikes lashing against its relatively softer abdomen, immediately creating a gory wound that oozed with purple poison.

At this moment, the Spirit Temple Holy Beast was rolling on the ground in pain from its severed tail. The fierce lash made it stagger back to its feet with all four paws, but it still looked very unstable.

So that’s it—it wasn’t accustomed to its body after losing its tail and couldn’t maintain balance!

As a qualified adventurer, he couldn’t let such a good opportunity go by.

Perhaps he could make a first-time kill on this Boss Monster here in one go!

Tami swung the Holy Beast Tail, binding the enemy’s front paw, imitating Luluwo’s chain-swinging movements to pull himself swiftly beside the Spirit Temple Holy Beast. He smashed his shield down to make its eyes spin, then drove his straight sword through the neck’s fur, just shy of slitting the throat.

Faced with extreme threat to its life, the Spirit Temple Holy Beast ignored any balance issues. Without even screaming out in anger, it flapped its wings, pulling Tami up toward the sky, then abruptly rolled, plummeting straight for the ground.

It intended to smash Tami to death directly.

"I have to be as nimble as the captain."

Tami closed his eyes, envisioning Luluwo’s movements, then swung the long whip to entwine a stone pillar on the other end, pulling himself free from the Spirit Temple Holy Beast’s body.

"Boom!"

The frenzied beast crashed heavily to the ground, its weight alone cracking large swathes of bricks.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

It struggled briefly before rising swiftly, crashing into the stone pillar where Tami stood, simultaneously releasing a spherical burst of thunder from its body.

Although Tami was unfortunately electrocuted, with his arm’s skin charred black, his movements remained unhindered. With a bit of exertion, he altered the direction of the falling pillar, collapsing it on the Spirit Temple Holy Beast, which was taller than the Shattered Star General, on the spot.

[Great Calia]! [Lion Slash]!

Tami quickly combined two combat skills, spinning to slice off one of the Spirit Temple Holy Beast’s hind legs!

The pain-induced power surge from the opponent finally knocked away the pillar pressing down on it, roaring in frenzied pursuit of Tami.

Its running movements had become distorted due to the loss of both its tail and hind leg. Its peculiar hobbling became more intimidating.

The Spirit Temple Holy Beast didn’t appear to have strong regenerative abilities, as the wound from its severed hind leg continued to bleed profusely, with the blood flow intensifying due to its violent movement.

If I keep leading it around in circles, it might bleed out and die soon, or at least become weakened, Tami thought.

Mistakes are inevitable when battling a Monster, but if you lead it around in circles, the probability of errors reduces to quite a low number. At least, he believed he wouldn’t make a mistake.

His stamina was nearly exhausted from maintaining the King’s Soul effect for a long time, so he decided to first bait the enemy, replenish his stamina, and await the final blow.

By nature, Tami was not prone to getting hot-headed; at this moment, he opted for a very conservative combat strategy.

This choice was quite correct, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it wise. Anyone from the Skyrim Strategy Group would praise the correctness of this strategy.

However, in the Sain Dungeon, stretching out the duration of a battle could lead to unexpected changes.

"Rumble——"

The Spirit Temple Holy Beast abruptly stopped pursuing Tami. Accompanied by a rumbling thunder, its entire body erupted with golden yellow lightning, its fur instantly spiked, even forming a golden, sparkling lightning aura.

It was like a furry version of a Super Saiyan!

Uh-oh, am I about to screw up?

Tami was startled—he was about to win, and then the boss entered the Second Stage?

He quickly initiated a brainstorm, his body getting into the best state, ready to respond to any attacks from the enemy.

What would the next attack be? A straightforward high-speed charge? A torrent of erupting thunder? Or perhaps a big bang that covers the entire area?

The Spirit Temple Holy Beast began gathering thunder in its mouth like an Agitated Golden Lion, making it very clear that it was about to roar and spew thunder.
