Chapter 341 Chieftain Juno’s Master!
"Look at him. Under our joint attack, he is still as calm as a dove, as bold as a lion, and as strong and outstanding as the eagle. Shikan, let's use our strongest form and kill him as fast as possible." Buma spoke telepathically to Shikan, the Fourth. 𝐟𝙧ℯe𝙬𝚎𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵel. 𝐜o𝓶
"I can't agree more, Second Brother," Shikan responded.
Knowing that the two were talking secretly, Shadow Slave spoke, "Are you done talking? Can we begin now?"
Before he could even finish his words, the two had already dashed toward him and struck him with their weapons while using the best of their powers. Then, they started engaging in a fierce melee battle between the two vice-captains and Shadow Slave.
The ax-holder Shikan took the frontal strike while Buma would sneak a tricky attack at Shadow Slave after every second. Shadow Slave barely managed to block their joint attack while relying on his katana and also the ninja movement technique he inherited from Bobby.
This continued for the next fifteen minutes and they separated, holding their vigilance, planning for their next course of attack as Shadow Slave managed to block each of their joint formation attacks.
"What are you two waiting for? He's breathless. Just finish him." KoKo Cha's voice echoed from above in the sky.
Bobby who had been watching all this time also added with a chuckle, "Yeah, it's not much entertaining anymore. Just get it over with them." He directed his words to Shadow Slave.
This attracted KoKo Cha's attention who was standing on the back of the large gray python's back high above in the air, hiding within with a colossus white cloud. "Shut up, slave! It's not your place to talk." He scoffed and ignored him, turning his attention back to Shadow Slave.
At that moment, Shikan and Buma finally ignited their Gorgon bloodline into their soul weapons, making them turn rocky and shining white at the same time. Then, with a loud war cry, they swam, propelling toward Shadow Slave at an extremely fast speed as they twirled their long tails against the ripple of the air resistance.
"Fine!" Shadow Slave muttered, "Twenty-five percent energy, activate!" Red katana shone even more brightly and buzzed making even the air around them vaporize.
The two vice-captains felt a looming feeling of death. But they were like arrows that had already been released from the bows.
Shadow Slave slashed the red katana horizontally just above his waistline. For a second, everything around them turned serene and the next thing, they were blown far away.
The Shadow Slave saw their bodies and soul weapons break apart into fine particles before they could cry out in pain. The last strike sucked out all of his energy. So, he puked out blood three times. "Bluerp!" Then he handed on the dusty ground and crouched down in fatigue while sticking the katana on it to support his body.
Clap! Clap! Clap!...
A rhythmic clapping sound chimed in the surroundings and Koko Cha appeared standing on the ground not far away from Shadow Slave. "Congrats, on killing two of my best men who were much stronger than yourself. And I guess it is because of this strange sword, right?" He said with a wide smile on his face.
In a flash, he slithered closer to him and raised his long tail, pointing, his golden spear-tipped tip attached to the end of his tail. "Now you look all wasted…. Answer me correctly or I will slowly and excruciatingly kill you. This weapon; the red sword, is it something your master presented to you? Now, you are going to tell me where exactly he is?" Then looking around with his glinting brown eyes, he further questioned, "Is he somewhere around here?"
Shadow Slave puked out a mouthful of another blackened blood and responded while bursting into a peal of hearty laughter, "Hahaha, oh man, this is getting funnier than I depicted. Bahaha… Alright-alright, I'll tell you the truth in exchange for your telling me, did you happen to bring the red blood-stone my master needed?"
"Humph! You're still lusting after my thing even in this situation. Just die!" KoKo Cha said, sneering and trying to stab his pointy-spear tail into Shadow Slave's mouth.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on their faces and a human youth was already there standing. When the needle-like tail's tip was just a few centimeters from Shadow Slave's lips, Bobby pulled out the red katana and swatted it away with the flat side of the blade.
Bang! From that impact, KoKo Cha was forced to move a couple of meters back.
"Human scum, you dare!" KoKo Cha bellowed at the top of his lungs as according to a noble-nagina's point of view what Bobby was doing was blasphemy and ridiculous according to their teaching of Nagainas for countless generations. And this was the first time in his long life that a human acted like this.
"Hahaha! Town leader KoKo Cha, didn't you mention earlier about my master? Then, see for yourself this is my master I serve." Shadow Slave said as he tried to stand up.
Bobby took out ten blood capsules from the Purple Spatial Beast's Eyeball and threw them into Shadow Slave's mouth. Within a second, Shadow Slave regained a part of internal Origin Qi.
"That's enough! I'll handle it from here. Just digest the blood pills and recuperate. Oh and stay beside Layla." Bobby said.
"As you say, my liege!" Shadow Slave responded in a servile tone. Then he slithered away toward Layla briskly.
The drama between Bobby and Shadow Slave took KoKo Cha by surprise as it was the first time he had seen a veteran martial expert like Juno act in such a subservient manner, nevertheless toward a human. It contradicted all their beliefs since humans were viewed as nothing more than pets on the Tenderloin Exoplanet.
"Wait!" Pointing his finger, KoKo Cha shouted, "Just what the fuck is that, Chieftain Juno? Taking a mere human as a master, huh, have you gone senile along with your age? Explain yourself."
