Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2095  Ineffective Skills

Lady Kang saw Lin Mu who had jumped out of the lava slug's body and felt a bit confused.

"Why is it still alive!?" Lady Kang questioned out loud.

"There's more than one core inside its body!" Lin Mu replied. "I only managed to destroy of one them." He had sensed several of them inside, but only got to the one that was hiding in the left head.

"How many more are there?" Lady Kang asked, narrowing her eyes.

"At least ten." Lin Mu replied. "I can destroy them from the inside, but the slug needs to be held in place. It will expel me if it senses I'm getting close to the cores." He added.

Lin Mu had already felt the resistance inside the slug's body, and if not for the fact that he had the Longgui Bulwark Armor he wouldn't have been able to go against it.

Due to having practiced with magma and lava before, Lin Mu did not have a problem pushing it apart with his own magma. This was also how he was able to swim inside the slug's body, as he was using magma too.

He might not be able to control the slug's lava, but he sure as hell could control his own. Thus, he simply spread some magma inside the slug's body with Magma fury, which was accepted by the slug's body since it detected to be the same material.

But this was still under Lin Mu's control, and he could freely move his body through it. In a way, he had created a controllable sphere of magma inside the slug's body which he could then move around as he felt like. It was also his own magma that allowed him to sense the energy cores, as they became highlighted every time they came in contact with his magma.

Lin Mu had sensed several cores inside the slugs, body but they were moving constantly. And when he caught one, that part of the slug's body exploded directly, causing it to expel him out.

~Rilllllll!~

The Colossal lava slug though seemed to have enough of the abuse and let out a loud cry. Its destroyed head recovered as it drew on more lava from its body. But when Lin Mu saw it, he found that there was a slight change.

'Did it get smaller?' Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.

While it was still two hundred meters long, Lin Mu could somewhat tell that its thickness had reduced. Though it became hard to tell that once the slug began its own flurry of attacks.

~FUWA~

A large tentacle grew from the base of its heads and rose directly to the sky. It quickly grew taller than its heads and an opening appeared at its end. A bulge appeared at the base of the tentacle before it started to move to the top. And once it reached the top, an explosion happened.

~BOOM~

A large lava ball exploded and shot out hundreds of smaller lava balls. But these balls seemed to be several times hotter than the rest of the Lava, and glowed white hot!

~WHISTLE~

The projectiles made a whistling sound as they descended from the sky, raining down like meteors everywhere.

Lady Kang flitted across the lake's shore, dodging all the falling lava meteors while retaliating with her own attacks.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby though was confronting them directly, slapping them away with his claws. Unlike Lady Kang he didn't have to worry about the heat or damage. ~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

The colossal lava slug kept in releasing more such projectiles, and soon the entire area turned into a fiery lava storm.

Not just that, but more tentacles grew out from its back and sprayed out streams of lava at Lin Mu. He continued to dodge them and tried to get close to the slug, but it blocked Lin Mu at every turn.

Blink!

But Lin Mu had his own aways and directly teleported beside the slug.

~SHING~

He then swung Afternoon Pine and activated its skill, creating another yellow metal pine tree that pierced into the body of the slug.

~HONG~

But this time, Lin Mu's attack seemed to be facing an obstacle.

~HISS~

The parts where the metal pine tree had entered from started to heat up quickly and turned white hot. This allowed the colossal lava slug to melt it down quickly, thereby rendering the attack unless.

'I'll have to be faster and use more.' Lin Mu thought and slashed out several times in a row, using Afternoon Pine to the fullest.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Just like before, multiple metal pine trees skewered the slug, trying to prevent it from moving too much.

~Hiss~

But the skill seemed to have lost its effectiveness as the metal trees melted down far too fast for Lin Mu to jump in.

"This won't work anymore." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, thinking of another method.

"I'll hold it in place, you can try to get inside and destroy its cores again." Lady Kang spoke witnessing Lin Mu's effort. "You can do it?" Lin Mu asked. "Metal is weak against the fire element thus your skill won't work for too long, but I have other ways." Lady Kang replied. "Go, we'll handle it here." "Alright." Lin Mu replied before turning to his beast companion. "Little Shrubby, defend Lady Kang while she does her work!" he said before rushing to draw the lava slugs attention.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby did exactly that and used his superior speed to block every attack that came towards Lady Kang. He even managed to block the incoming streams of lava by simply blasting them back with his own fiery breath.

Despite being at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, Little Shrubby seemed to be having no issues with the attacks of a Fifth Tribulation Stage Beast. Though one could also say that their match up put Little Shrubby in an advantage as he basically had an immunity to fire unless it was extremely strong. And while he was doing this, Lady Kang was preparing a skill.
