Green Monster Epic

Chapter 539: Allen Falls Victim

“Careful, it's transforming again!!”

Boom!!!

The ogre legend Marcus's shield, weighing nearly two thousand pounds, along with Marcus himself, was sent flying dozens of meters away by a swing of the flying snake leader's whip-like tail.

Fortunately, it was an aerial battle, so Marcus didn't look too disheveled, but by the time he raised his shield and charged back, the massive flying snake leader had transformed in the blink of an eye, shrinking visibly into a snake shadow only a meter or two long.

Clang!!!

Hanini flicked her short bow, narrowly using the bowstring to deflect the snake shadow that appeared like lightning before her eyes, then tapped her feet and tried to quickly distance herself from the snake shadow.

The snake shadow was bounced back only a few meters by the bowstring, then readjusted its posture, darting through the air like a loach, its figure again turning into lightning, shooting towards Hanini's back.

Allen returned to defend in time, using a "Whirlwind Sword" as an area-of-effect attack to block Hanini.

Clang!!

The "Whirlwind Sword" stance had just begun to rise and hadn't fully displayed its power when it was interrupted by the slender snake's body, which was just over a meter long.

The two sides collided and staggered, then quickly bounced away.

Allen's sword stance was broken, but at the same time, Allen defused the snake's attack.

Boom!!

The slender snake had just shrunk its figure, but the moment it was bounced away after colliding with Allen's sword stance, it suddenly swelled up again, transforming back into the majestic giant snake dozens of meters long.

As it gently twisted its body twice, quickly transmitting the movement to the tail, a sonic boom that exceeded the speed of sound erupted, and the tail directly sent Allen's other teammates, who had rushed over, flying once again.

The flying snake leader opened its exaggerated mouth and bit down on Allen, who was regaining control of his body.

The shiny teeth and the hot wind with a hint of sweetness rushed straight at Allen, about to swallow Allen whole.

Boom!!

A heavy shield fell from the sky, and the ogre, with his equally exaggerated shield, slammed the snake's head towards the ground like a cannonball.

The distance between the two figures and the ground grew closer and closer, and the flying snake leader's body slowly transformed, reverting to its small form.

Clang!!

An arrow landed on the flying snake's body, and the point of contact began to ripple with a few strands of crystal light, then gradually expanded, turning into an iceberg along with the ogre's large hand holding the shield.

Ha!!

Allen seized the opportunity, and with a "Heaven Cleaving Sword" in his hand, his anger condensed into a ball of flame, catching up with Marcus's falling figure.

His eyes sharply judged the position of the ice-sealed snake shadow and slashed down.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

The ice block had just solidified when it was crushed into powder by the huge energy contained in the "Heaven Cleaving Sword".

The flying snake leader, sealed in the ice, felt its life threatened and its body was rapidly expanding, transforming back into its giant form, but before its body could take shape, Allen's sword, which condensed his will to kill, tore through the flying snake's powerful defenses.

Thud! Thud!

The flying snake, split into two pieces, fell to the ground, splashing a circle of pink blood mist.

The still unwilling snake head, after landing, used the remaining less than 1/3 of its body to spring up, sending its head directly flying towards Allen.

Whoosh!!

A cloud of multicolored mist, with a fresh and sweet scent, spewed out of the snake's mouth, covering Allen's entire body.

Under the cover of the mist, the flying snake's head opened its hideous and exaggerated mouth, about to bite down.

Boom!!!

A ball of orange-red fire flew over in time, drilling into the snake's head and its terrifying mouth.

Then the entire snake head suddenly exploded, and countless sparks burned on the flying snake's exploded corpse, and a fragrant barbecue smell rose in the field.

Yogg, who had finally solved the flying snake opponent with his companions, used a fire spell at the last moment to rescue Allen, who was trapped in the mist.

The other teammates who had been smashed away by the flying snake leader also slowly walked over.

Just as Brigitte wiggled her fat body and walked towards Allen, Allen, who was dazed not far away, suddenly raised the Bone Cleaver and slashed at Brigitte with a fierce momentum.

“Careful!!”

“Allen!! What are you doing!!”

Boom!!!

Marcus used his shield protection skill, and the heavy shield, still covered with countless ice fragments, collided with Allen's Bone Cleaver.

Marcus only felt a sinking in his arms, and the heavy shield sank heavily into the ground in front of his feet.

The other teammates raised their weapons and quickly rushed over, taking over Allen's subsequent attacks.

Soon, everyone noticed Allen's strangeness.

His eyes were blurred and without any emotional changes, and his skills were no longer as brave as before, but instead he was like a sleepwalker, waving his arms randomly.

“…%4@#……”

It wasn't until the gnoll priest Cole managed to free himself and cast a dispel magic spell on Allen's head that Allen's movements finally stopped.

When the colorful mist surged towards him, Allen had vigilantly closed his mouth and nose and stopped breathing, but even with such caution, he was still unfortunately hit.

The flying snake's mist was actually more like a spell-like ability.

Even if the target covered by the mist did not breathe it in, it would still be affected by the psychic power contained in the mist.

Allen only felt a blur before his eyes, and the flying snake and the mist suddenly disappeared, replaced by the helpless scene of his mother being snatched away by a wyvern in his childhood.

This was a memory that Allen had forgotten for a long time, but now it appeared vividly before his eyes, and without thinking, Allen directly swung the Bone Cleaver in his hand, wanting to make up for the regret in his heart at this moment.

The wyvern was beheaded with one sword, and before Allen could rejoice that his mother had been saved and say a few words to his mother, the scene suddenly changed and directly came to the most dangerous moment in Green Lake Town that year.

Before him, the six-armed snake demon was constantly waving his six powerful arms, fiercely suppressing him, and around him was a group of goblin warriors who formed a line of flesh and blood, desperately blocking the impact of the evil god's cultist cavalry, firmly guarding the road from Green Lake Town to the mountain top square.

Just as Allen was preparing to show off his skills and tell these demons and evil god cultists that he was no longer what he used to be and that these guys would pay a heavy price, he suddenly felt a burst of pain in his brain, and at the same time, a coolness came from his chest, gradually restoring reason to Allen's restless soul.

The source of the coolness in his chest was the necklace that had no sense of existence, snatched from the first human legend Allen killed.

Usually, the most used thing in battle was probably the ice shield technique that came with the necklace, which could resist legendary-level attacks, but now, because of this mist, the necklace's effect of clearing the mind and improving wisdom finally came into play.

As for the stinging pain in his brain, it came from the benefits brought by the mirage plane creatures he had eaten in the past few days.

Before he could think about all this, Allen had already woken up and was directly affected by the mist, although he could feel the existence of his body and control his body's movements, but Allen couldn't break through this scene that seemed so real.

"Perhaps, I need to completely shatter this world to break free from its shackles!!"

There's very little research into psionic magic in the wilderness, and even less from Allen. Thinking carefully, perhaps the only times he came into contact with it were during his battles with demons, experiencing spells like Fear and Charm, which barely touched the edges of psionic magic.

However, just as Allen concentrated and prepared to unleash his strongest sword technique, a surge of coolness washed over him, echoing the coolness in his heart. The scene before Allen's eyes finally began to distort, then returned to the appearance of the original world.

Beside him, several teammates surrounded him with serious expressions, as if he were some great threat, which Allen found somewhat inexplicable.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to help them??"

With the Serpent Wyvern leader gone, Allen's gaze had already drifted into the distance, where several other teammates were engaged in fierce combat with 7-8 Serpent Wyverns, each over ten meters long.

"Are you awake? Who am I??"

Brigitte held her weapon in front of her chest, slowly approaching Allen and cautiously inquiring.

"I'm very awake. Everyone, let's quickly clear the battlefield to avoid any more accidents!!"

Allen's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

"Okay!"

The others also realized that Allen had regained his sanity and, without hesitation, quickly flew towards their teammates in the distance.

Allen's heart wasn't as calm as his surface appearance suggested. He thought that after mastering the Iron Will, his mental defenses would be pretty good, but now it seemed that it was far from enough. Just a Legendary High-Tier Serpent Wyvern leader had caused him to make a mistake. If the opponent possessed even more psionic abilities, wouldn't he be completely manipulated?

He was also fortunate to have companions by his side. If he hadn't had this group of companions to clean up after him, he was afraid that he would have already become minced meat in the Serpent Wyvern's jaws.

However, Allen quickly suppressed his complex emotions. He raised the Bone Cleaver in his hand, stomped his foot hard, and leaped towards a nimble and ferocious Serpent Wyvern in the distance.

Half a magic hour later, the battle finally came to an end. Around Allen and his group of Legendaries, dozens of Serpent Wyvern carcasses were twisted together, occasionally showing signs of slight wriggling, but gradually returning to stillness.

No one had expected that the first cleanup operation would provide these dozen or so Legendaries with a good lesson.

They had thought that they would be able to crush the Serpent Wyverns, but they turned out to be a race with five Legendary-tier individuals. The Serpent Wyvern leader's solo combat strength, combined with its bizarre abilities, could almost overwhelm an ordinary Legendary High-Tier wilderness expert.

The Serpent Wyverns were also not unintelligent. The tactic of luring them out individually had failed. Sami Yang had inadvertently attracted the entire clan. Although this was partly due to Sami Yang's carelessness, the team as a whole hadn't been truly mentally prepared.

A difficult battle broke out, but the final result was good. The Legendary powerhouses in the field had rich combat experience. Although they were mentally unprepared, their cooperation was still relatively tacit, and they managed to wipe out the Serpent Wyverns with only minor injuries to a few acquaintances.

"Hey!! Not bad, a great start!!"

Tirio, the Gnoll who advanced as an Assassin, and Ignatz, the Kobold who advanced as a Sword Dancer, took on the task of collecting loot. Soon, they found a familiar yet different pure white crystal from the scattered remains of the Serpent Wyvern leader and proudly showed it off to Allen and the others.

"Dream Mirage Crystal!!"

"Haha!!"

The spirits of the crowd, which had been somewhat depressed, suddenly lifted, and they rushed over to see what the so-called Dream Mirage Crystal really looked like.

In fact, there wasn't much difference between a Dream Mirage Crystal and a Legacy Crystal. Perhaps the biggest difference was that inside the core of a Legacy Crystal, there was a mysterious magic circle constructed by professional personnel cultivated by the temple, without damaging the overall crystal, to guide the energy of the Dream Mirage Crystal and transform it into specific images, allowing people to immerse themselves in it and experience the changes.

At this time, the Dream Mirage Crystal, which everyone was taking turns to play with and appraise, had even purer and more chaotic energy. Perhaps because it had just been extracted from the Serpent Wyvern leader's body, the energy in the crystal was still very active, constantly flowing within the crystal in everyone's perception, emitting a shimmering luster like crystal silk.

Allen didn't join the onlookers. He walked straight to the bodies of these otherworld creatures and gently sliced the lower half of the Serpent Wyvern leader's corpse, which was still nearly twenty meters long, with his dagger. A thin piece of white meat hung on the dagger's blade, and Allen threw it into his mouth.

Carefully chewing and feeling the texture of the Serpent Wyvern's flesh, as well as its characteristics, Allen had already begun to think about how to use seasonings and cooking techniques to stimulate the hidden characteristics of the Serpent Wyvern's flesh, so that the eater could obtain blessings and enhancements.

In the previous illusionary world, the slight stinging pain that came from Allen's mind, although it didn't have much of an effect, and a careless person might have ignored it, Allen himself still remembered this feeling and was thinking about the reason for it. The ultimate answer, besides the help brought by the Iron Will feat, might also be related to the native creatures they had been eating these past few days.

Since he had shortcomings and flaws, Allen's personality would certainly not ignore their existence. Now that he had the opportunity to make up for this weakness, Allen would naturally not let it go.

While the others were busy dissecting the Serpent Wyverns to see if there was a chance to obtain another Dream Mirage Crystal, Allen was back to his old ways, showcasing his cooking skills.

As a unique product of the Mirage Dream Plane, the Dream Mirage Crystal also had a very magical aspect, which was that its existence had almost no rules. Perhaps it existed in the body of an unremarkable, weak animal similar to a rabbit, or it might exist in the heartwood of a tall tree, or you might accidentally find a flawless crystal fused with the water source in a pool you found.

According to the records in the Agina Tribe's books, they had harvested Dream Mirage Crystals from almost all the creatures they encountered in the Mirage Dream Plane. The only regularity might be that the more energetic the crystal, the stronger the creature it parasitized.

Of course, countless years of exploration had also allowed the intruders from the Feyman World to discover some useful rules, such as the high probability of finding Dream Mirage Crystals or other precious resources in a creature's settlement.

And it was clear that after the lush tree where these Serpent Wyverns lived was felled by a group of Legendaries, they indeed found three Dream Mirage Crystals and several fruits that could be taken out of the Mirage Dream Plane from the heartwood of the tree.

When the group of Legendaries happily returned to the battlefield, Allen had already returned to his old job and was showing off his cooking skills.
