Chapter 187
Chapter 188 Giant Against the Serpents
All the dungeons Joanna had faced before were far below her true strength.
Now, at last, it was time to fight with everything she had.
“Your opponent is me p>
Joanna’s body began to change.
Nighthowl turned into silver hair and silver eyes.
Alwyn’s skin shone like gold.
Lucien spread a pair of wings.
In the next second, Joanna’s body expanded rapidly. She became a giant, standing nearly 65 feet tall.
Her gear could adjust to her size, but her weapons could not. Joanna raised one hand. A nearby steel-and-concrete building collapsed, ripped apart, and flew toward her. Flames burst from her palm, melting the metal and stone together. In seconds, they formed a massive sword over 40 feet long.
This represented the evolved power of both Spatial Collapse and Magma Furnace.
When skills were mastered, they no longer looked like fixed techniques.
They looked like miracles.
Joanna locked onto the Black Python and swung down hard.
She had used a sword for three years. The whip had only been two months.
Sometimes, she felt more like a swordsman. Even as a giant, her movements were not clumsy. She was fast, sharp, and precise as she clashed with the Black Python.
The white python did not attack her at the same time. Other students had arrived to help.
“Ivan, pull the monster! I’ll attack!” Katherine shouted. She stood on a high-rise and began firing from long range.
“Come on, you beast!” Ivan roared. His body grew larger.
He was not as tall as Joanna, but he reached nearly 10 feet. He had learned a new Epic-tier
-War Titan-which turned him into a giant with greatly increased defense.
1/4
Everyone focused their attacks on the White Python.
But while they fought the two giant monsters, they did not know something else was moving inside Vicehaven.
Underground.
The death-row criminals gathered together.
When they heard the noise above, their eyes lit up.
They could not escape.
But if they killed those students, they would be free.
“Everyone, move together,” one of them said. “I don’t know who caused this, but we must take this chance to kill those geniuses p>
“Agreed p>
“Together p>
They moved quietly. Through manholes and hidden exits, they slipped onto the surface. When some students were caught off guard, they were taken out one by one.
“Hiss p>
The white python opened its mouth and swallowed another top student.
That student was instantly forced to teleport far away.
At the same time, the battle between Joanna and the Black Python reached its peak. Joanna’s strength shocked everyone watching.
The Black Python opened its huge mouth and lunged at her. Joanna jammed her sword between its jaws. A flash of white light appeared. She thought it was about to release a spell and dodged at once. But nothing came out.
“Wait, something’s wrong p>
She forced its mouth wider. Inside, she saw a teleport portal nearly 6 feet wide.
Joanna understood at once.
If those criminals killed the top students, the students could escape the dungeon throug death-exit rules. That alone meant nothing.
2/4
Unless the criminals had another goal.
They were teleporting the students away, capturing them, torturing them, stealing their talents, or breaking the death-exit rule before killing them.
Joanna shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Professors! All profesors watching this battle! Please check on the safety of the students swallowed by the serpents! I saw a portal inside the Black Python’s mouth. I believe those students were kidnapped p>
She did not know if the professor outside had acted yet, but she could not wait.
Symbiotic Fusion could only last three hours in battle.
This had to end now.
Joanna fused Cosmic Umbrage and Gamma Ray into her giant sword and slashed down with full force. The black python’s head split open in an instant.
The serpent screamed and thrashed wildly, smashing nearby buildings into rubble.
The Black Python died.
But then, its body healed at a shocking speed. It came back to life.
Unkillable?
No.
Joanna’s Celestial Gaze flared. She saw a burst of light from the White Python.
The White Python could heal too.
Then kill the White Python first.
Joanna vanished from her spot and appeared beside the White Python.
At that moment, Ivan was not the only one being attacked. The criminals who had come up from underground were also targeting him. They did not expect Ivan to possess an undead body. He was hard to kill.
“Stop messing around. Die p>
Joanna’s Celestial Gaze exploded with light. Space collapsed inward. In an instant, more th. ten death-row criminals were crushed and torn into countless pieces.
3/4
“Ivan, switch targets!” she shouted.
“Got it p>
Ivan roared and turned to attack the Black Python, releasing his abilities.
The Black Python had been chasing Joanna. But after Ivan’s attack, a wave of hatred rose in its mind. It wanted to crush this smaller target first.
Joanna, meanwhile, used her overwhelming strength to block the White Python’s attacks, locking it in place. She would not let the two bosses attack Ivan together.
