Chapter 106 The War Begins ~ Hellfire and the Forest Archer
On the edge of the doldrums, a barren island with jagged rocks and sparse vegetation stands out starkly against the azure sky, like a forgotten scar on the world's face.
The sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun poured down without any obstruction, baking the black rocks on the island until they were burning hot.
In the center of the island, on a relatively flat, rocky clearing, two powerful auras were clashing violently, stirring up the oppressive air.
On one side is the guardian of hell, the mythical beast-type hellhound monster girl, Beros.
Her massive body was like a moving calamity, covered in short, stiff obsidian-like fur, with dark red hellfire coiling and leaping around her, melting the rubble beneath her feet into crimson lava.
His cold gaze was fixed on Leona opposite him, his tongue lightly tracing a cruel smile across his lips.
On the other side is Leona, a nature ranger and a mythical beast-type centaur monster girl.
Her heroic figure stood tall and straight like a pine tree, her chestnut horse body gleaming with a healthy sheen in the sunlight, and her human torso with its smooth muscle lines exuding a powerful and agile beauty.
Her emerald eyes, sharp as an eagle's, were locked on her opponent, and the longbow on her back was already in her hand, with an arrow nocked on the string gleaming coldly.
On a large stretch of rubble near the battlefield, monster girls were gathered, watching the battle.
Tiger Girl Yin and Leopard Girl Xuan stared solemnly at the battlefield.
The catgirl curled up behind the two, and the three cats huddled together.
Nearby, the three sisters, Mianyang Niangmian, Quan Niangling, and Bat Niang, reunited, all gripping each other's paws, looking somewhat nervous.
Behind these three was a cowgirl who rarely appeared, swaying her enormous, almost bursting body, staring blankly ahead.
As a logistics personnel, Bei rarely witnessed such large-scale battles and always stayed in the rear.
She already had several bottles of milk in her hand, ready to be used at any time.
Freshly squeezed, still warm —
It is worth noting that behind the four of them was a small Otohime.
If it weren't for the bubbles that kept her afloat, she wouldn't have been able to see what was happening on the battlefield below.
The two snake girls, Aura and Mia, stood together, their long tails curled up, watching.
The two dragon maidens, Ella and Flying Snow, stood on a pile of rubble, one tall and one short, overlooking the battle below.
Even though they were no match for the two monster girls who were about to start a battle, the two remained arrogant.
Tuanrong remained as adorable as ever, leaning against a large rock and dozing off, seemingly without any pressure.
Coco gently flapped her tiny wings, sat on an ice plate at her feet, and watched the battle below.
As for the remaining two mythical beast-type monster girls, the Fire Rat Girl was curled up on a rock, somewhat quiet.
Griffin flapped his wings and hovered in the sky, looking down at his opponents as the king of the skies.
It's worth noting that the two of them would glance at each other from time to time, clearly showing that they cared about each other a lot.
That's normal. Once the battle below is over, it'll be their turn to take action. It would be a lie to say they don't care.
"start."
Brian appeared at the edge of the battlefield, looked at the two monster girls who were poised to attack, and gave them orders.
He is today's referee.
The flat voice was like a pebble thrown into a still lake, instantly shattering the balance.
"roar--!"
Boros roared first, the sound waves carrying the smell of sulfur.
At the same time, her massive body moved, her four legs exerting force, the rocks beneath her feet crumbling, and she charged towards Leona like a burning chariot.
The orange hellfire surrounding him surged suddenly, transforming into a wave of fire that swept forward.
"Netherworld Charge - Path of Karmic Fire!"
Wherever the flames passed, even the air was ignited, leaving a charred trail. The scorching heat made the monster girls watching from afar feel breathless.
Faced with this ferocious charge, Leona's eyes sharpened, and she did not back down in the slightest.
With a powerful push off the ground from her hind hooves, her massive body displayed astonishing agility as she leaped to the side and rear, arching her back like a full moon.
"call out----"
The arrow left the bowstring, not aimed at Boros herself, but at the ground in front of her charging path!
The moment the arrow struck the ground, it did not explode. Instead, countless tough, thorny vines sprouted from it and coiled around Boros's hooves as if they were alive.
"Natural constraints, a cage of thorns!"
The vines quickly coiled around her, trying to hinder her momentum.
However, the hellfire surrounding Boros was so domineering that the vines burned fiercely and turned to ashes the moment they touched the flames.
But this obstacle has already bought Leona a precious moment.
Taking advantage of that moment, she galloped away on all fours, moving at high speed around Beros, while the bowstring in her hand twanged repeatedly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three arrows shot out in a triangular formation. As they flew, they were accompanied by a fierce whirlwind, which increased their speed and made a piercing whistle, aiming straight for Boros's eyes and throat!
"Hurricane Arrows Trio!"
"A trivial skill!"
Upon seeing the attack, Beros snorted coldly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and an invisible mental shockwave spread out.
The mental attack struck the three wind arrows precisely, causing their trajectories to veer slightly off course, grazing her fur as they struck the rocks behind her, blasting open three large holes.
A faint smell of burning appeared. Boros glanced at the somewhat disheveled fur, ignored it, and continued his attack.
It suddenly opened its massive maw and spewed out a concentrated, viscous, dark red fireball, like magma!
"Abyssal Roar - Molten Core Explosion!"
The fireball wasn't large, but it contained terrifying energy, distorting space wherever it passed. It was incredibly fast and was heading straight for Leona once again.
Leona's pupils contracted slightly as she sensed the destructive power within the fireball and dared not take it head-on.
She let out a long neigh, her horse reared up, and with a stomp of her forelegs, a strong emerald green light suddenly surged from her body!
"Natural Shelter, Barriers of Nature!"
A thick barrier, woven from countless vines, roots, and light, instantly formed before her, and the molten core fireball slammed into the barrier.
"boom!!!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and dark red flames and emerald green light intertwined and annihilated each other wildly!
A powerful shockwave spread outwards, stirring up clouds of dust and debris!
The monster girls watching the battle each used their unique abilities to resist the shockwave.
The three cats, Yin, Xuan, and Mi, attacked together, and a dragon's might barrier automatically appeared in front of Feixue and Ella.
Mia and Aura's snake tails coiled into a shield shape, and Tuanrong directly bit off a stone that was flying towards her. Coco even glanced at it, and the stone instantly turned into an ice sculpture and shattered into pieces.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the barrier of the underworld was already shattered.
Leona was jolted back several steps, her horse's hooves carving deep furrows in the ground, her chest heaving slightly, clearly indicating that she had expended considerable energy.
Although Boros was momentarily hindered by the shockwave, thanks to his thick skin and the protection of Hellfire, he was almost unharmed, a bloodthirsty grin spreading across his face.
