"Impossible, no human or demi human is able to assimilate and gain the stats of monsters." Knowing he had to use his best magic to destroy me immediately.
"Acceleration magic - self cast light speed (2x), Legendary light magic - Translucent cube!" Trapping me and bombarding from all sides with arrows of light magic. (Hit 30 times, 30,000 damage... Damage 0)"
Placing my right hand on surface of the cube, I gripped it, and it collapsed scrunching up like paper before ripping and disintegrating into magicubes.
"Legendary legion magic - Light warriors!" as the magicubes in the air form into 50 light constructs which take life, pointing their spears and throwing them like javelins raining down.
Impressed at the heavy amount of magic Jason is able to dispense and his tenacity "Jason you really are as they say the strongest adventurer, with spells strong enough to bring gods to their knees."
Levitating into the air, I directed my hand like a sword to the barrage of light javelins "Heavenly feather magic - celestial winds" a typhoon swept the entire cave blowing and lift everything off the ground pinning Jason and all 50 of his light constructs against the ceiling.
Stretching my wings, "Heavenly feather magic - celestial shards" each iridescent feather detaching, crystalizing and stabbing into the constructs, releasing 300 shards like a minigun absolutely annihilating his magical light constructs while purposefully avoiding him.
Falling from the air Jason casted "Legendary light magic - Light sphere" as he is safely surrounded by barrier magic, and it bounced off the ground.
Scrambling to get on his feet and go on the offense, I dived and landed in front of his little protection spell.
"This is like peeling an onion only easier." Using pure physical strength, I dug into the barrier magic with my Onyx claws shredding it like candy floss.
"Out of tricks, are we?" as my black leathered tail splits and morphs into three heads of the draconic Serpent. Two of them acting like arms, viciously biting into the arms of Jason lifting his entire body up immobilizing him, the last head hovering in front of his face.
"Just kill me already you monster fuck, or do you not have the guts or balls."
"Brave words there Jason I'm sure your conniving party members would have been proud, but killing you instantly isn't much fun."
"Draconic Magic - Underworld Acid" The draconic serpent head spewing a pool of dark acid showering him completely. Instantly corroding all his precious equipment, melting his Titanium armor set and liquifying his sword.
The acid once done with the armor began to make its way onto his skin, boiling it and causing it to ooze blood and pus shedding his entire skin leaving only exposed raw muscle.
"Kairos - forge stasis cube" holding off his rotting deteriorating body while I brought him back to the surface.
Throwing him from the entrance, straight into the center of the arena, as he coughs and grovels in the mud and dirt. The crowd booing and throwing random garbage onto him, as I entered into the limelight fresh with applause and a standing ovation for ensuring justice is carried out.
"Hero Yuujiro we love you!" "Hero Yuujiro great job burning off the skin of that traitor with your fire magic." "Yuujiro enact justice for all the those who've died pointlessly.
This crowd is also a bunch of hypocrites, when those contestants were getting slaughtered only more excitement grew within them, now it's the same they just want blood and violence, and perhaps some small justice for being deceived.
I addressed the crowd in the colosseum "People of Andros, as you had witnessed Jason's confession he has lied and put everyone in danger for his benefit, I say let's see how he likes being slaughtered by the monsters."
Giving a queue to the mages, "send him to where Penelope was sent." In a nod, Jason was teleported with a live magicube feed watching him.
Thrown into the icy wasteland with a constant blizzard, frost bite began to set in drying out his bloodied raw muscles, without any skin for protection even his eyeballs were becoming solid.
In the distance, sniffing the blood-filled air the superior demon arctic monkeys swarmed him all 50 of them biting and pulling at his joints.
In an attempt to fight back, "Legendary light magic - Light warriors!" but nothing happened only small flickers of fizzling light magic.
Previously when my Draconic serpents had bite into his arms, I injected slow acting paralysis poison and cursed blood venom, all which he would not realize until he actually intends to use his magic. Cursing my name until his dying breath.
In the plain snowy mountains, all that's left is a pool of red dot seen from afar.
Back home in Andros, a feast was held in town in celebration of my achievements and dictating the end of the exhibition. Secretly storing high value nutritious dishes whipped up at the festival using my infinite storage, I made my way back to the library.
Making my way past its silent hallowed halls, finally seeing Echidna emotionless as ever. However somehow this time as she looked at me her face brightened with life, subtly smiling.
"Hello, we meet again, Yuujiro" as I gazed somewhat lured into her beautiful emerald eyes. Realizing how much of a silent beauty Echidna was with smooth slender build, innocent wide emerald eyes on her small face, clothed in her black scholar robe and cap, voice gentle and soothing unlike a certain rowdy demon bull.
Shyly asking "Any knowledge you seek today?"
"Actually, I just came by to pass you some food since I didn't see you at the festival and also to thank you for the pamphlet, I learned more about this world thanks to you."
With a slight blush, she accepted the warm buttery frog leg pie. "I just thought you might like this since your tail is green like a tree snake, maybe you would enjoy frogs."
"Thank you Yuujiro, somehow I feel closer to you than the last time we met."
In my mind I'm thinking, "Wait is it because I'm part draconic serpent now, she can't sense my bloodline like how Minato sniffed me out as a demon chicken back then right? Either way I don't hate it, even I feel a slight gravitational pull towards her.
"Let me return your favor, for this delicious frog leg pie, here accept this World map, it indicates all the explored and unexplored regions including places of interest and kingdoms."
Hearing a familiar term, I asked excitedly "Kingdoms? Can you show me where is the Kingdom of Phrygia?"
Delicately opening and spreading the map, Echidna pointed "Here about 3 days of travel southeast from the town of Andros through some form of mobility."
"Perhaps you can visit Europa my childhood friend working at the Tauros horns blacksmithing shop near the town entrance, and she can give you a contact to the Alpha Demon Bulls clan who operates a mobility shop."
"That's a coincidence, I know Europa, and I've met Minato a really strong and big guy so what kind of mobility are we talking about? "
"They are a family of beast tamers who capture, train and domesticate powerful beasts to be ridden as transport, merchants and adventurers alike purchase a variety of mobile beasts to suit their needs."
"This has been very informative, thank you for sharing this and gifting me this map", as I unknowingly held her hand long enough to make both of us blush.
"I will be back soon, and here I got something else maybe you'll find useful" as I retrieved the Divine Serpent Oil from my infinite storage and handed to her.
Examining it closely, this time her entire face flushed red with embarrassment, looking away and making an adorably cute face biting her lip. "I'll keep this very safe for the next time we meet, this is an extremely rare and valuable, skin applied aphrodisiac, which also works as a massage oil in some places."
Leaving the Library as I said my goodbyes, "Oh man, I got to wrap things up quick and come back immediately! This is what I mean only powerful man can get girls like that! Looking past my numerous gruesome deaths this world is pretty okay after all!"
Smiling ear to ear as I strolled in the moonlight making my next stop, the Tauros Horns Blacksmithing shop for my new equipment.
