"Asmodeus! This was your idea! Come here and fight this thing!" Zeus yelled at the player that acted as if he was the leader of this team.
Asmodeus gulped as he heard the boy and cursed him in his mind but since he had been called out like that, he couldn't keep hiding behind the others.
"You guys are useless," Asmodeus clicked his tongue as he commented and Wang GuiYing almost wanted to laugh at the irony of that one sentence falling out of the mouth of the most useless player of the team.
Asmodeus took out his labrys and tried to act calm as he walked towards the snake.
The labrys that he wielded looked to be quite strong with a blade that was even bigger than him.
His steps started becoming faster slowly till he started running towards the monster with his labrys raised to attack.
When he got close enough, he spun the labrys a few times before throwing it up, aiming for the snake's eye.
The snake moved back and the labrys went ahead and hit the wall. Like a blind bird that had lost its wing, the labrys fell down a bit too uneventfully.
"..."
The snake monster opened its mouth and its fangs had a glint of red in them.
Zeus took his sword and threw it towards the snake's right eye, just like Asmodeus but without even looking if his sword hit the mark or not, he started running towards the snake.
With just a glance, Wang GuiYing understood what the boy was trying to do and he was certainly a bit amused.
Zeus took out two other swords from his inventory and immediately jumped up, aiming to cut the snake's neck off.
For a split second there, the snake had been distracted by the sword that aimed for its eyes and if the snake didn't have such indestructible scales, perhaps Zeus might have succeeded in decapitating the beast.
Zeus gritted his teeth as he kept pushing the sword into the snake's skin, hoping to weaken the snake even if the damage caused by the sword was only negligible.
The snake slammed its whole body downwards and Zeus was immediately crushed under the weight of the enormous snake.
Wang GuiYing looked at their team status board and sighed as he saw the red sign before Zeus' name.
"Well, that was a pitiful death." The man commented as he crossed his hands and leisurely leaned back on the wall.
Acantha spit out a mouthful of blood as she spoke, "I used up all my mana. I can't keep going."
Damon gritted his teeth and refused to vomit out blood but he still nodded his head as he spoke, "Same here."
Zeus was dead. Acantha and Damon had no mana. Hector was unconscious and Ares was badly injured.
Asmodeus gulped as he looked around and realized the situation that he was in.
"I-It's impossible," Asmodeus spoke as he looked down at the ground. His hands trembled slightly but he tried his best not to let anyone notice his fear as he spoke, "We can't beat this thing. Let's leave before we get killed."
Wang GuiYing was a bit disappointed to see that this boy was just going to give up like that, but at the same time, he agreed with what Asmodeus had said. It was really impossible for this team to beat this snake monster with their poor experience and power.
"Oi!" Wang GuiYing spoke up as he threw a small stone at the boy's head, "Did you forget what this was about?"
Asmodeus immediately turned to glare at the man but said nothing.
"You sounded quite pissed off when I called you a lousy player but now, you're just proving me right," Wang GuiYing shook his head with a sigh as he pushed himself off the wall and calmly walked towards Asmodeus, "Is this what you wanted to show me? I'm quite disappointed to see you wasting my precious time."
"Shut up! If you want to beat that thing, be my guest!" Asmodeus yelled and in the very next moment, the snake hissed once again and they all had to cover their ears so as to save their lives.
Wang GuiYing smirked as he looked down at Asmodeus and spoke, "Then let me be your guest who makes you lick his boot."
Asmodeus saw red as he heard this but before he knew it, Wang GuiYing had already jumped up and stood on top of the snake's head.
The snake tried to shake him off but Wang GuiYing only jumped up.
What happened next was something that nobody could have expected.
The snake opened its mouth to eat the player and Wang GuiYing happily jumped inside the creature's mouth.
"..."
A minute passed in silence and Asmodeus' face got twisted as he muttered to himself, "Ah... So he was just a crazy bluffing bastard..."
Asmodeus got ready to run away with the rest of the team members who could still walk, but he stopped when he noticed something weird.
His eyebrows creased together and he felt a little confused when he looked at the team status.
The team status definitely had to be bugging 'cause for some reason, it showed that the player called Laozi was still alive although Asmodeus had clearly seen the man being eaten alive by the snake...!
The snake suddenly started moving frantically and Asmodeus felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead.
The more he looked at the suffering snake, the more he felt that there was something wrong.
"No way..."
Although he could somewhat guess what was happening, he couldn't believe it.
The scales on the snake started falling off one by one and suddenly, the snake let out a loud cry before falling forward.
The ground shook and the air pressure created by the snake was enough to blow away all the fire, leaving behind only smoke and dust clouding one's eyesight.
Asmodeus covered his mouth and swung his hands in front of him as he tried to see what was happening.
The snake was dead but its body shivered before it completely blew up like a bomb.
Blood and snake meat painted the dungeon and the players also got covered in the horrifying remains of the snake.
The snake that they had tried so hard to kill was killed within a matter of minutes and that too by a single player who was just an ordinary healer...!
It took Asmodeus a long time to fully understand and believe what had happened. By the time, he could think clearly, the dust had settled down and the smoke had cleared away.
Wang GuiYing sat on top of the snake's head and wiped the small dagger that he had used to kill the snake.
"If it can't be killed from the outside, then you can try to kill it from the inside," Wang GuiYing smirked as he spoke, "A snake doesn't chew its prey. It swallows you down."
The moment Wang GuiYing heard about the snake monster that remained undefeated, he immediately grasped the snake's weakness.
In order to win, you need to be fearless and you need to be swallowed by the snake first. Once inside its body, you needed to cut the skin up from the inside before planting a few bombs. The snake would have a bad stomachache and puke you back out but the bombs that you placed would completely get the job done.
"It's quite an easy strategy once you think about it. A bit disgusting but easy," Wang GuiYing commented with a smile.
"W-who the hell are you...?!" Asmodeus stumbled backward as he questioned.
"Me?" Wang GuiYing repeated as he pointed at himself with the small dagger and stood up.
His smile deepened and his back straightened up proudly as he exclaimed, "I am Trash! BBtrash"
"What the?!"
Asmodeus' eyes widened almost immediately and his fear disappeared as he recognized the name in a heartbeat.
In this world, was there anyone who did not know the name of the famous pro-gamer who had quit just because of his gaming partner?!
"BBtrash? That BBtrash...?!" The boy's eyes glittered and anyone who saw this sudden change in the boy's expression would clearly be able to tell that the boy was a fan.
"I won't give you an autograph," Wang GuiYing spoke with a small chuckle as he kept the dagger back in his inventory, "But be ready to lick my boot."
Although the words were quite rude, Asmodeus looked to be excited for some reason.
"My real name is Fang XinLi!" Asmodeus suddenly exclaimed as he straightened his back like a little kid meeting his idol, "I would be honored to lick your boots!"
"..."
This was definitely not how Wang GuiYing had planned this conversation to go as but he was not necessarily complaining about this kinky fan of his.
