BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 The Pink Python [5] - Death Of The Pink Python
The barrage of punches felt never-ending to Silas and the python, but to everyone else, it was merely a blur that they could not understand.
However, now that Silas was moving as quickly as possible, the amount of damage he was doing had significantly increased.
Every punch seemed to tear off one of the python\'s scales, causing it to roar in pain before being slammed again with another punch of the same power.
Blood was beginning to splatter all over the ice chunks, and after reaching their peak altitude, the ice chunks, Silas, and even the python began to fall again.
The python tried to fight back by flicking its tail and creating a wind pressure so powerful that it might have killed Silas on the spot, but now only was Silas too quick for it to hit him, the python was also becoming weaker by the second.
It was losing too much blood. Pain coursed through its blood and has become a liquid with only one function. To make it feel pain.
*ROOOOOOAAAAR*
The python opened its mouth and recreated the first roar it used to kill Azure.
However, Silas was ready for it now.
With a snap of his fingers, Silas created multiple water magic circles that shone with a lighter blue.
The chunks of ice around Silas morphed, breaking apart into the water before creating dozens of ice spikes that shot toward the python\'s open mouth.
The spikes began to crack when it came close to the mouth, however, there were too many to stop with just a roar.
Dozens of them broke, but eventually, broke through the sound and stuck themselves into the back of the python\'s throat, stabbing into it but not piercing through.
\'I\'m running out of platforms.\' Silas thought before crouching down and shooting into the air like a rocket.
When he eventually reached his peak altitude, Silas looked down and raised his right leg into the air, alongside his hands that he pointed into the sky.
Two fiery orange magic circles appeared above his hands, and with one final breath, he muttered-
"Combust."
*Boom*
To everyone watching, Silas looked like a meteorite falling down on Gilea.
His body was covered in flames, while his arms shot out immense amounts of those same flames to push him even faster.
It only took Silas a second or two to reach the python, and when he did, he slammed the back of his heel into the head of the python.
At that moment, it felt like everything had slowed down.
The ground under him had gone from a muddy terrain to a molten one, sizzling as red-hot lava boiled beneath him.
*BOOOOOOM*
A shockwave shot through the forest, burning or collapsing every tree nearby.
Smoke and dust flew into the air, and when it eventually began to clear, the python was laying down on the ground, lifeless.
Silas stood there with his back facing the defeated monster, his clothes torn and his hands bloody.

He had done it. He had beaten the python.
\'Holy shit...\' Silas cursed. His body felt extremely fatigued, and that wasn\'t something he could fix with life fusion.
Sucking in a cold breath, Silas activated Metamorphosis and absorbed the mana out of his surroundings into his mana core before sending it to the rest of his body. It would temporarily fix his exhaustion problem, but he knew that he shouldn\'t use it more than a couple of times. He had felt the pain it gave him last time, and even though he counted himself lucky since nothing had happened, he didn\'t want to see test his luck.
For all he knew, it could destroy or damage his mana core, and since he didn\'t know how to bring forth toki, he would have no way of fighting back against anyone who might become a threat to him or his family.
Stepping forward, Silas looked at the body of the python, laying in molten lava that was quickly cooling,
The python\'s head was quite literally no more. It had been destroyed the moment Silas\' foot touched it, and what was left behind was nothing but cinters and scorched scales.
\'Good thing the mana core isn\'t in the head.\' Silas sighed while opening up the snake and rummaging around inside it.
Silas knew that he had gone too far when killing the python, however, it was quite literally the only way to kill it.
The rest of his team was weak. Even the two people Silas thought would have been on the same level as an amethyst-cored beast were far too weak to fight or even win against the python, even if they worked together.
The poison was too deadly for them to... Wait... Poison?
"Oh shit..." Silas cursed when he realized where the poison would have been kept.
"Nononono! Was all that for nothing!" Silas shouted with anger.
He couldn\'t believe it.
He had destroyed the one thing they had been told to bring.
Sure, they would have died if he hadn\'t done anything, but now he would most likely not get his money.
\'That bitch... I\'ll kill her... One day.\' Silas thought as the image of greed entered his mind.
Knowing her, she probably knew that they wouldn\'t survive without Silas using his full strength... Or she was trying to kill him. Either way, if the choice was between being exposed or being killed, he would definitely choose the former.
After grabbing the amethyst could be a little smaller than the size of his palm, Silas walked toward the rest of his team.
Looking down, he saw that most of his clothes were ripped and burned, but luckily for him, his genitals were perfectly covered up...
\'Huh... Maybe I have a third blessing or something? Either way, I\'m not complaining. Would be really awkward if I exposed my genitals every time I fight to the death... Would you even call this fight "To the death?" I had every advantage during that fight, from ice to not being affected by the poison.
Technically, it was a one-sided beatdown where the enemy couldn\'t even fight back. I wonder what would have happened if it had hit me with one of its attacks. Would have probably blown off a limb or two, right?\' Silas asked himself while scratching his chin, but eventually, he simply shrugged.
"Game!"
\'Ugh... I hate the name.\'
"What?" Silas asked with a trace of annoyance.
"Holy shit, man... That was amazing! I\'ve never seen anything like it..." One of the men patted Silas\' back, causing him to look at him with a trace of confusion.
"You haven\'t?" Silas asked.
They had 7 generals and many soldiers who were probably on the same level of strength as him, yet they hadn\'t seen anything like it before.
Silas couldn\'t help but sigh.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." he rolled his eyes.
"That was actually pretty amazing..." Jessica walked over to him and the rest of the group with a warm and appreciative smile, however, Silas simply narrowed his eyes at her with a trace of suspicion.
"Thanks." She completely ignored his glare before leaning forward and placing a kiss on his forehead.
"You\'ve been a great help."
