Chapter 162: Strange beast ​

Stepping forward, she took out her sword, and thick purple lightning flashed from her body. Her eyes shone brightly, with a deadly arc, she slashed her blade at the ground below!

BOOM!!

Dust and debris flew everywhere as the ground cracked open.

ROAAARRRRR!!!

An earth-shaking roar sounded. Zira hurriedly jumped back as a large stone hand erupted from the ground where she had been standing, narrowly missing her.

She frowned as she looked down below. There was a large demonic beast, made entirely of stone.

It looked like a mixture of an elephant and a…turtle. It had a massive stone shell upon its back, supported by long, sturdy legs, with an elongated trunk extending from its head.

Surprisingly, it didn’t trumpet like an elephant. It was roaring like a beast!

The beast slowly turned towards her, and with a ferocious roar, it lunged at her. The ground shook with each of its steps.

Zira stepped forward, her purple hair waving slightly as she took out her sword. Intense Purple lightning flashed from her body.

Gazing at the beast coldly, she disappeared in a flash, instantly reappearing behind the beast. She swung her sword with all her might, striking the beast’s back!

CLUNG!!!

THANKHHH!!

But to her surprise, the moment her sword touched the beast…It snapped in two! But she didn’t linger longer. Purple Lightning flashed; she disappeared. The beast clawed at the empty space. Seeing that it had missed the target, it roared in annoyance.

Zira frowned as she stared at the beast for a few seconds and took a deep breath. Her left leg slowly moved back with her right leg slightly forward.

She took a fighting stance, a classic boxing stance to be specific. With dense, purple lighting flashing across her figure. But there was a frown on her face.

“This…is nothing compared to Master’s state.”

Dense purple lightning crawled across Zira’s body, moving along her arms and legs as she settled into her stance. Her fists tightened as a dark intent flashed in her eyes.

The stone beast roared and charged at her once more. Seeing this, Zira no longer hesitated and exploded forward.

Vanishing from her spot, she reappeared above, inching from the beast’s head. With a spin, she snapped her heel in a vicious kick.

BOOM!

Her heel smashed into its strong jaw as the lightning detonated on impact. The beast staggered back with a roar, chunks of stone flew high, but its charge didn’t stop, its massive body crashed ahead.

Zira twisted mid-air, and once again planted her right foot against the beast’s hard, stone shell, and pushed off hard by flipping backward just as its trunk slammed into the ground where she had been.

BOOOM!!!

The monstrous impact shattered the ground below. Before the dust could settle, Zira was already on the move.

She dashed in, ducking low under a wild claw swipe, and drove her knee straight into the beast’s front leg. It was coated in purple lighting.

CRACK!!

The stone covering the beast’s leg fractured a bit, and the beast suddenly stumbled forward. Zira didn’t miss this chance; she pivoted and unleashed a strong roundhouse kick! Her shin slammed into the same leg…once again.

This time, the leg shattered completely and exploded into pieces of rubble.

ROARRRRRR!!!

The beast instantly collapsed to one side and roared in pain and rage.

Zira took a heavy breath as deep pain erupted from her chin. Her expression twisted a bit in pain, but she ignored it. And limped towards the beast, she quickly reached its neck.

Despite her bone being cracked from the impact, her lightning supported her being. Holding its neck, a ferocious smile spread across her face.

She raised her fists, and.

BAM!!

A heavy strike landed on the stone beast’s head.

ROARRRRR!!!!

“Hehe, let’s see whose bone is tougher!” Zira didn’t care about the pain; she kept smashing both her fists onto its head in a maddened frenzy.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

She didn’t stop till her hands bled and even bone was exposed; each of her strikes detonated with purple lightning, the stone head shattering piece by piece.

The beast’s eyes rolled back in its head, as unimaginable pain spread throughout its body.

After a few minutes, Zira finally stopped when she felt the beast dead. Her hands dropped limply to her sides.

“Hufff Hufff…This was far more difficult than I thought it to be,” Zira muttered, as she limped towards a rock and slowly lowered herself in front of it, leaning her back against the stone and sighing in relief.

One of her shins was broken, she couldn’t feel her hands anymore, and her eyes were starting to blur. But she refused to sleep here.

“Well, well, since when did you become so reckless?” Just as she was about to doze off, she heard a playful voice. When Zira heard that voice.

Her lips curled up ever so slightly before she dozed off.

A pair of calm footsteps echoed as a tall man came into view atop the stone. Rahu shook his head before waving his hand.

Zira’s body gently floated upwards and landed straight in his arms. Seeing her condition, Rahu’s eyes twitched.

“Just when had she learned my kickboxing stance?”

Yes, he was there from the beginning of the fight, observing Zira. He saw how this girl had switched from the sword to an entirely different, unknown art…His art, she had tried imitating his Kickboxing style, but had failed miserably.

He raised his finger, and a small pill materialised in his hand. With a smirk, he popped the pill in his mouth, breaking it into liquid. Glancing at her parted cherry lips…they were simply inviting and alluring.

Leaning down, he took her, took her lips, and kissed her deeply, transferring the liquid’s essence directly into her throat.

​With a smile, he slowly parted from her. He waited there, looking around. Especially the stone beast. It was in pieces, but surprisingly, it didn’t have any blood flowing from its body.

“These creatures…they are not from this plane,” He muttered, his eyes shining brightly.

“U-Uh, where am I?” A small groan echoed from Rahu’s arms. Tilting his head, he saw Zira slowly fluttering her eyes open. At first, she saw a blurry figure; her brain zapped. She panicked when she sensed she was in touch with another.

But no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t move her arms. Her eyelids slowly parted, revealing the face of the being holding her.

“R-Rahu!?”
