“ULTIMATE FUSION… REPTILE MODE!” Leader had pretty abandoned much his calm expression, now staring at Stark and his clone like they were his biggest enemies ever, which they probably were, not going to lie.
His long hair that reached his knees went from black to completely green, with snake coming out of it, and his body also began to develop scales on it, plus his eyes looked like those of a serpent ready to attack, basically… his past body had been left behind, almost as if he was reborn.
Also, both his arms and legs were now completely surrounded by dozens of snakes, making it very disturbing as the serpents were swirling all around him, he was their master after all.
“Get ready to be ssstopped…” Stark saw a snake tongue coming out of his mouth whenever he said the letter ‘s’.
…
[Skill: Ultimate Fusion (MYTHICAL)]
[Description: Fuses with his snake summons to become one big ‘snake-man’ himself, granting him a boost in strength and making his attacks more poisonous and powerful]
[Flaw: none, you just have to beat him up]
…
‘Hm…’ Stark didn’t quite like this transformation, but he couldn’t do much about it.
“=)” and of course, the [Superior Clone] wasn’t even bothered as it literally laughed in Leader’s face, amused by its attempt to win.
“GET READY YOU SSSSTUPID FUCKER…” Leader dashed in the clone’s direction.
“=D” but the clone didn’t even take him seriously.
“ATTACK FRENZY,” Leader’s eyes glew with a yellow color as he sent his snake-filled fist toward the clone.
~FWISH~
But it just avoided it by moving its head to the side, the smile on its face growing wider as it immediately attempted to take him by striking his legs.
“SNAKE SUMMONING!” But Leader was ready and summoned five snakes in front of the attack, causing the clone to stumble and fall to the ground instead.
“=)” the clone now on the ground, looked up to Leader with the same sadistic smile.
“SERPENTINE CHARGE,” Leader also smiled this time as he pointed his arm toward the clone, the giant circle looking much more complicated and powerful than before.
And from that distance, not even one meter, then this attack would surely hit and kill the clone.
“Goodbyeeessss, BITCH!” he activated his attack and the giant snake began to come out, its mouth wide open.
But…
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Stark, who was right behind, shook his head, “A sect leader shouldn’t swear!”
“TARGET MANIPULATION,” he didn’t want to use [Domi-Chain] yet, so instead he opted for another skill that he didn’t use much in battles.
~FWISH~
He pointed his right arm at the enemy, his index and middle finger raised at Leader like a gun, a deep aura concentrated on them.
And then… his aura was shot toward Leader, hitting him and making his entire body surrounded by a small outline of crimson color.
“GOT YOU…”
And so right before he could summon his snake to kill the [Superior Clone]…
~FWISH, SNAP~
Stark turned his ‘gun’ hand to the right, resulting in Leader being slightly sent to the direction he pointed at.
~SSSSSS, BOOOM~
Leader sent the giant snake, but as his body swayed to the left, his arm and circle did as well, meaning that it missed the clone by a hair’s length.
“WHAT THE?” he turned to see Stark pointing his arm at him, and that’s when he noticed that he had been controlled by Stark’s aura… which made him even more furious, “YOU FUCKING AsSSSSHOL-”
He tried to swear but…
~PUNCH, SLAM~
The [Superior Clone] immediately took advantage of that to get up and hit Leader in the face, sending him flying toward Stark.
“-4837!” didn’t do much damage because of his snake-man form, but it was still good.
[‘Superior Clone’ has received the [Poisoned] status for 1 minute]
The fact that for every 5000 points of damage, the enemy would receive 6000, frankly made it extremely unfair, but oh well.
“AURA SMASH,” Stark focused his aura and sent three crimson fists toward Leader who was repeatedly hitting the ground after being hit.
“SNAKE SHIELD…” but even while being hit, he still activated his shield and tanked all three attacks.
~CRACK~
More cracks began to form on the shield, though.
Meanwhile, [Snaky the Giant Snake] was still unconscious because of the [Domi-Chain] aura, meaning that it was just lying there almost in the middle of the hallway, taking lots of space as they were forced to fight only on one side of it.
It did advantage Stark and his clone though as they were fighting from close range while throwing projectiles…
“CRIMSON SPEARS,” then Stark and the clone, as if they had linked minds, both threw six spears at Leader from different directions.
“ARGH, SHIT…” Leader was enraged as he immediately got up, “SNAKE SHIELD… EXPAND!”
Obviously Stark wasn’t the only one who could use perks, all other people had some too, and ‘expand’ was one of the perks of the [Snake Shield].
~BOOM, CRACK~
The [Snake Shield] would grow in size, forming a giant circle around Leader to completely protect him from any attacks.
But this also made it easier to damage the shield, which was why he hadn’t activated it.
[Snake Shield HP: 98392/500000]
[Leader HP: 5500/34000]
“ULTIMATE FUSION… HEAL!” he used the second perk of his mythical skill, and most of the snakes that were on his body suddenly bit any part of his body they could reach, inflicting him with their poison.
But in this case…
[+10000HP], instead of being poisoned, since he was a snake-man himself, he had been healed.
“Spatial Inventory,” while Leader was busy getting healed, Stark pulled out his inventory void and grabbed three [Crystal Stun] potions from it.
Oh, and yeah, Stark is always under the effect of the [Strength] and [Speed] potions, since he always makes sure to drink some before being in battle.
“CRIMSON BALL TRANSMISSION,” the clone sent a ball, landing it right next to Stark, then snapped its fingers to teleport right next to the original.
“Here,” he handed two of the three stun potions to it, and it just smiled as it knew perfectly what they needed to do.
The [Crystal Stun] potions didn’t work against the [Cyclop] or monsters that were too big or immune, but against a simple human that was affected by it like any other…? It was extremely deadly.
Maybe Leader was immune to it, who knows, after all he had the body of a snake, and he was also immune to poison and many status effects, so you could never know.
But… Stark just a gut feeling that this was THE solution to end this battle.
And so… Stark and his clone took a step forward, their potions in hand as they were ready to eliminate the sect-leader once and for all.
But of course… the other guy didn’t stand doing nothing after being healed…
Instead…
“SYMPHONY OF SNAKES!” he used the final skill he hadn’t used yet, and also probably the second strongest beside [Snake Fusion] since it was legendary…
And so just like that, both parties were ready to give it everything they’ve got to end the battle.
The winner takes all: rewards, levels and confidence, while the loser just dies.
