The battle began with the MC and the serpent locked in a life-and-death struggle.
The MC was in the air when he activated the Immortal Cell on his right hand. Sky-blue energy surged violently around his arm. At the same moment, the serpent's massive tail came rushing toward him.
"AAAAHH!" the MC screamed.
His fist collided with the serpent's tail.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion echoed through the battlefield. A violent blast tore through the area as the MC was slammed into the trees, disappearing into thick dust and smoke. The serpent was also thrown back—but only slightly.
The serpent hissed in rage. Its two massive mouths opened wide as it prepared to attack again, its killing intent growing heavier.
Then—
A figure slowly stood up from within the smoke.
The MC was not dead.
"Now… let's begin round two."
He used Mysterious Land Vitality to heal himself. The arm burned by the Immortal Cell slowly recovered, though faint pain still lingered.
Activating his power again, the MC entered his Phantom Movement Art, but this time, he changed his approach.
I can't fight him head-on. My use of the Immortal Cell is limited.
I must avoid his gaze… and gather all my power into one strike.
But where is his weakness? I have to find it.
The MC continued dodging the serpent's attacks. Time passed, each movement draining his strength.
My stamina is almost gone. I need to find it—now.
Suddenly—
The serpent's tail struck from the side.
"Fuck!"
BOOM!
The MC was slammed into a giant rock. Pain exploded through his body as blood spilled from his mouth.
He immediately used Mysterious Land Vitality again to heal himself.
Shit… this is the last time.
The vitality energy had shrunk drastically.
Where is this beast's weakness?!
His eyes turned golden.
The Golden Eyes activated.
I don't have much time… where is it?
Then he saw it.
The aura around the junction point of the serpent was noticeably weaker.
So there it is.
Do or die.
The MC activated the Immortal Cells in his legs, increasing his speed to the limit. Using his movement art, he activated all his Immortal Cells at once.
"Now take this, you beast!"
The serpent attacked at the same time.
They collided.
For a moment—
Silence.
Then—
A massive hole appeared through the serpent's body. One of its heads was completely destroyed, no longer visible.
But the MC paid a terrible price.
His entire body was burned black, cracked like charcoal, with fire flowing through the fissures. His pupils turned white, and smoke poured from his mouth.
Why… he thought.
Why did I fight? I knew I couldn't win.
I could have flown away if I wanted to…
So why did I do this?
A memory surfaced—his first encounter with the serpent.
The look in its eyes.
As if the MC wasn't even worth hunting.
I hate that feeling…
Being looked down on.
Now, he was about to die—like he was nothing more than a loser.
His body lay motionless on top of the serpent's corpse. Even his Divine Land was showing cracks.
The MC opened his eyes.
He was inside the Mysterious Land.
What? I'm not dead?
But then he realized—
I'm trapped here.
The land began trying to swallow him, attempting to erase his existence.
"No!" he shouted. "Even if I die, I won't disappear!"
"I am your master!"
Energy burst from the Immortal Cell on his forehead. Sky-blue light poured into his soul, covering it completely.
His soul began dominating the Mysterious Land.
"Now listen only to me."
Finally, he stepped forward and placed his foot on the land.
So I finally have complete control over this place.
I can feel it… I control everything here.
But I need to recover my body, or my soul will disappear when this land disappears.
Then a thought struck him.
If I can manifest energy outside this land… can I also bring things inside it?
Let's try.
The serpent was the perfect test.
The MC focused on his hand.
"Get in."
White energy wrapped around the serpent's body and pulled it into the Mysterious Land.
"Devour it."
The land began devouring the serpent.
Outside, the MC's body slowly began to recover.
So I finally won…
And there's a bonus.
But at that moment—
The MC froze.
