Chapter 136: Battle Against Queen Medusa! The Great Infinite Sea!
"Damn humans!" Queen Medusa murmured, feeling a great anger. She had killed many powerful ones from the Human Empire, but they kept coming to bother her incessantly.
Medusa recalled the mysterious warrior with great hiding abilities who had managed to escape from her a month ago. If she met him again, she would chase him to the ends of the earth. What angered her the most was that while she was chasing that man, another mysterious warrior had appeared and distracted her.
She felt deceived and humiliated. She had never been treated that way, not even by the powerful ones from the Human Empire. She could face several enemies at once and come out victorious, but now she had been deceived, and that made her feel ridiculous.
"What could be in the depths of the desert that is so worth it for them to come with so many machinations?" Medusa wondered, expanding her perception without finding anyone, only traces of a recent presence.
"If they are allies, they must have the same concealment ability!" Medusa realized that the other warrior might still be nearby. She remembered how, a month ago, she had discovered the other only because he had revealed his presence upon hearing her plans.
"I won't let them deceive me again!" she thought. She would use a massive attack to flush them out of hiding.
Medusa began to concentrate energy in her fingers. Meanwhile, Xiao Ze was hidden, waiting for her to leave so he could move.
"Won't she give up?" Xiao Ze thought as he saw Medusa accumulating energy.
Suddenly, Medusa launched bursts of energy that lifted clouds of dust in the desert, forcing Xiao Ze to reveal himself. With blue energy wings, he flew into the sky and approached Medusa.
"Queen Medusa, I have no intention of offending you. I only came to seek a treasure following a map. I have no ill intentions against the Empire of the Serpents."
Medusa laughed coldly. "So it was you, the one hiding! Where is your companion? Waiting for you outside?"
"You have misunderstood my intention. I don't know that other person. We simply coincided here by chance..." Xiao Ze tried to explain, but Medusa had no patience left. With a swift move, she lunged at him, with energy concentrated in her fingers.
Xiao Ze did not fear facing her. Although he did not want to fight, he was ready to test his new Great Infinite Sea ability.
Xiao Ze gathered a large amount of energy in his hand, forming a dark blue palm. However, he was at a disadvantage being in the desert, where there was no water to enhance his energy.
Medusa noticed the water energy in Xiao Ze's palm, surprised, but did not lessen her attack. The collision of energies changed the landscape of the desert, and soon, a figure was thrown back.
Xiao Ze, surrounded by an energy shield, looked at Medusa, smiling. The power of the Great Infinite Sea allowed him to surpass combat levels. Medusa, though at the peak of Dou Huang, had been forced to retreat.
Medusa felt a tingling in her fingers, surprised by Xiao Ze's strength. A month ago, he was only a Dou Wang, and now he was a Dou Huang, having made great progress in a short time.
"You've been lucky to find great opportunities here."
"Yes, I was lucky. Why don't you let me go? I have no intention of getting involved in imperial conflicts. A fight between us would benefit no one."
"Who said I will fight to the end? I only need to hold you until my tribe leader arrives. Then your life will be in my hands."
Medusa gathered more energy, preparing for a more powerful attack. Xiao Ze, seeing no other option, decided to face her with all his strength.
"Great Infinite Sea!" Xiao Ze shouted, concentrating all his energy into a massive attack.
The battle between Xiao Ze and Queen Medusa shook the desert, and the leader of the snake tribe hurried to arrive, leaving Xiao Ze with little time. With the power of the Great Infinite Sea, Xiao Ze managed to keep Medusa at bay, but he knew he had to act quickly.
"Great Infinite Sea!" Xiao Ze exclaimed, releasing all his energy in one final decisive attack.
