Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 236: Death of the Gem Beast

Patriarch Li stared at the intact body of the Gem Beast and his eyes couldn't help but flash with despair.

He had known for a long that he wouldn't be able to match this monster, but he never expected that he would be unable to injure it in the slightest even after he tried his best.

"Without having suffered any injury, this Gem Beast will surely return to the Bright Moon City and destroy it.", Patriarch Li's expression turned grim as he thought of this, but he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it.

His previous attack had been at the expense of his Vision, Mana, and even vitality, and had trained all of his strength.

With his current state, even Shackles Realm cultivators could deal with him, let alone this Level 3 Monster.

On the other side, the Gem Beast stared silently at Patriarch Li, with eyes that were filled with murderous intent.

The Gem Beast had never thought that Patriarch Li would be so decisive and would choose to give up his life just to injure it.

Fortunately, it activated its awakened ability, Gem Defense, in time, otherwise, it would have been injured regardless of how powerful its defense was.

Still, even though the Gem Beast was fine, Patriarch Li's actions made it quite angry.

Imagine if your toy suddenly attacked you out of nowhere, trying to kill you.

Even if that attack didn't cause any damage, most people would feel humiliated.

"Growl!"

A low-pitched growl came out of the Gem Beast's mouth, as it pushed against the ground with its hind legs and pounced on Patriarch Li.

While mid-air, the nails on its forelimbs flashed with a sharp light, resembling the surface of a razor-sharp sword.

"Swoosh!"

The Gem Beast's claws pierced through the air and just by hearing the sound, it could already imagine the scene of Patriarch Li dying and his blood splattering all over the place.

"Bang!"

"AAghh!"

The sound of collision soon spread in the outskirts of the Myriad Demons Forest, followed by a loud painful scream.

However, this scream didn't come from Patriarch Li but from the Gem Beast.

At an unknown time, a long golden sword appeared in front of Patriarch Li and blocked the Gem Beast's attack, before counterattacking it.

As a result of this confrontation, a deep wound was left behind on one of the Gem Beast's claws, while the remaining force knocked it back and made it roll a few times before hitting one of the few still-standing trees.

The Gem Beast had just landed on the ground and had yet to react to the previous sneak attack when it saw that a humanoid figure flashed beside it.

This figure was that of a woman with long black hair, black pupils, and an ordinary face, whose appearance closely resembled that of a human.

The word resembled was used because despite what most of the woman's features would suggest, she was obviously not a human.

There were two fluffy ears on top of her head, while the black tail behind her back swung continuously, hitting the ground as if it was a hammer.

Although this woman didn't exude any powerful aura and seemed to be an ordinary, mortal creature, the Gem Beast didn't dare to underestimate her.

This was not only because it was impossible for a mortal to appear in the Myriad Demons Forest, but also because of the shining object that the woman held in her hand.

This object was a long golden sword that was engraved with many exquisite patterns and shone with a holy light, yet also exuded boundless murderous intent.

The moment the Gem Beast's gem-like pupils landed on this sword, it recognized it.

It was this sword that had previously defended against its attack and had injured it.

"Who are you?"

For the first time since the Gem Beast showed up, it opened its mouth not to let out a growl but to communicate.

As a Level 3 Monster, the intelligence of the Gem Beast was not any worse than that of an ordinary human, and as such, it could communicate with others.

In fact, it was rumored that there was a special language used by monsters to communicate in ancient times, but perhaps because of the long years, this language had been completely lost.

In the current age, powerful monsters either used human language or communicated through the use of their thoughts.

After the Gem Beast asked its question, it didn't attack nor move but remained still, waiting for this strange woman to answer.

From the previous encounter, the Gem Beast had noticed that the woman's power was enough to threaten it and it didn't want to conflict with her unless necessary.

Although it seriously suspected that this was because of the golden sword's power, the Gem Beast still didn't dare to bet.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that it had chosen to communicate, the woman didn't seem willing to ask its question.

Instead, what the Gem Beast received was another attack.

The cat-eared woman suddenly raised the golden sword, before swinging it down with all her strength.

Even though the sword was still some distance away from its body, the Gem Beast immediately sensed a large amount of danger coming off this sword.

Having already noticed that the sword's speed was extremely fast and it didn't possess enough agility to react, the Gem Beast didn't dodge but instead chose to activate its ability.

Under its control, a three-colored light quickly covered its entire body, spreading from its head to its tail and providing it with supreme defense.

At the same time, the Gem Beast raised its intact claw and waved it toward the woman.

"Bang! Boom!"

The sword collided with the shield made out of light that covered the Gem Beast's body, while the massive claw fell onto the woman's torso.

But to the Gem Beast's surprise, it didn't get the slightest advantage in their brief encounter.

Its claw, which had enough power to aim even Aspect Stage cultivators, fell on the woman and failed to cause her any damage, as a faint, semi-illusory golden armor covered her body.

Moreover, the Gem Defense of the Gem Beast, which was what made it possible for it to withstand the full-powered attack of Patriarch Li, crumbled under the woman's strike.

Countless cracks formed on the light's surface before it shattered, only managing to pause the sword's movements for a brief second.

Then, with the shield's destruction, the sword fell right on it.

"Swoosh!"

The sound of the sword slashing through flesh echoed in the Myriad Demons Forest, as the sword penetrated through the Gem Beast's defense and slashed at its body.

"Roar!"

Noticing the sharp pain coming off its torso and feeling the warm blood that dripped off its wound, the Gem Beast couldn't help but let a furious roar, as its eyes turned scarlet and it pounced forward, vowing to tear this hateful woman to pieces.

After all, although the Gem Beast was intelligent, this didn't mean that it had lost its nature as a monster.

Its monster's instincts were still there, but they were just hidden most of the time, only appearing in extreme situations such as the current one.

Facing the furious attacks of this behemoth, the woman's expression didn't change and she remained calm.

Knowing that the monster was finally trying its best, she didn't step back nor did she put up any defense, but chose to face its attacks with her own.

"Bang! Swoosh!"

A woman and a massive behemoth continuously collided and the two of them seemed to reenact the previous scene of the Gem Beast and Patriarch Li fighting.

It's just that surprisingly, the person who was constantly injured was not the woman, but the Gem Beast, as the woman's attacks let out wounds of varying severity all over its body.

On the other hand, when the Gem Beast's attacks hit the woman, a golden armor would appear and protect her, relieving the force before it landed on her body.

Time slowly went by, and as time passed, the disadvantage of the Gem Beast became even more obvious.

Although the Gem Beast seemed to have gone crazy and madly attacked everything around it, its eyes that flashed with fear made it obvious that it still retained some clarity.

Fighting without caring about its opponents breaking its defense had always been the fighting style of the Gem Beast, but for the first time, it actually found how it was to be on the receiving end.

Looking at its many wounds and feeling that the woman's attacks were quickly becoming more and more intense, the thought of retreating popped up in its mind.

As a monster, it obviously didn't care about things like honor and only acted based on what its instincts suggested.

The next second, after it withstood one more of the woman's attacks, the Gem Beast pushed against the earth with its hind legs, before taking off the ground and flying away.

Taking advantage of the remaining force in its body, the Gem Beast managed to leave the woman behind.

However, just when it was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the Gem Beast noticed a rising aura coming off from behind.

Instinctively, it turned its head around, only to find that a dazzling golden light had filled its entire field of vision.

This golden light became increasingly bigger until finally, it appeared in front of its face and revealed its true appearance.

It was a long golden sword, engraved in countless intricate patterns.

"Not good!", the Gem Beast thought and wanted to dodge, but the remaining force in its body made it difficult to change its trajectory.

"Swoosh!"

Soon, blood fell from the sky like rain, and following it, the loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.
