Having faith on his swordsmanship alone to defeat a dozen of serpents was by far, the dumbest idea Irwin ever had, and coming from him that really means something!

Not only did he suffer heavy damage, his feet and body suffered burns, his arms were bit and his clothes were completely turn .

And as if things could not get any worse, all his energy that regenerated was paid to the parchment in order to heal him.

" Brother parchment you are too stingy, you took away all of my LP just to heal me... Arent I your host? "

He tried reasoning with the parchment as he stood up ready to devour the serpents who were almost dead, but the parchment blatantly ignored him.

" Devour " the terrifying creature that he decided to call "Egg" for the obvious reasons, came out his palm and sucked all the serpents which gained him 12 more MP and around 30 LP .

His mana points reached 16 in total and his life energy points were nearing 60 .

In a single day he had surprised an actual mage, and that was completely mind blowing.

He was now starting to understand why the parchment said its previous hosts would have become the strongest on these lands within a week.

Truth be told, the parchment was just too damn overpowered .

The steal effect also stole a passive skill from the serpents he devoured, which didnt seem highly useful but hey, anything was welcomed.

- Passive skill: Basic Fire Immunity stolen

" Hopefully this will help me survive the queen serpent's fire breath "

He said as he sat down to wait until he fully recovered. He wasnt stupid enough not to know that the queen serpent was going to be hella strong.

If a dozen of her minions could bring him to this state, the chances of her killing him were as high as 90 percent. But thats why he had the purple parchment, to help him win against all odds !

" Activate the skill creation option "

The purple parchment flickered and the familiar option became available.

-Name of the skill : Blood Crescent Moon

Skill effect: A red crescent slash is released as an attack towards opponents, and upon landing causes heavy bleeding and high damage.

Consumes either 5MP or 5LP to activate .

He paid the parchment 20 of his precious energy points and the skill was created.

- You are more than ready now stop delaying the inevitable, go in and finish this.

" But parchment, shouldnt I come up with a decent strategy before going in there? You wouldnt want the host to die, right? "

- You arent smart enough to come up with a strategy good enough to outwit a serpent queen, besides she is just a low grade monster.

If you cant even defeat that you should give up, because Elysium is filled with all sort of disastrous creatures able to even destroy me.

The parchment made a good point so he stopped trying to argue, the fight could not be evaded.

So after fully regenerating his energy and recovering from fatigue, he walked towards the last area of that place .

" why does this place look like destroyed buildings?"

He had been fighting from the first moment he stepped foot on here, he had not even have time to look around.

" this place is so mysterious, like an ancient tomb straight out the 'King Edmund's Adventurers'

novel "

He walked down the ruins for about 20 more minutes until he found himself in a narrow passage, and at the end of the passage he saw massive 40 metres tall double doors, the entire place was covered in dust.

" We have reached the end then I'm guessing "

He placed both of his hands on the door and started to push with all the strength he could master, but the door remained rock solid.

- What a viscous beast, careful there kiddo this serpent is smart.

"What do you mean? I cant even get in "

-the price you pay to open the doors is blood, you need to pay 5 drops of your own blood from each hand to enter . She did it in order to weaken her opponents before they challenge her, this serpent queen is not bad!

"Stop being impressed man, doesnt this mean I'm dead meat? "

-oh stop being a wimp boy I can heal your hands straight away for only 10 LP, so grow some balls will you.

Urged by the parchment, he cut his hands as slowly as humanly possible while trying to hold back the tears, then after splattering his own blood on the door they were automatically open.

" Dont heal me I dont want to waste that many LP on something this minor "

Thats what he said to the parchment, however his intention was to use the queen's strategy against her, this strategy was also connected to the new skill he created , Blood Crescent Moon.

His ability to turn blood into exploding webs worked against the queen's minions, so he was going to use his own blood too this time to end the queen as quickly as he could.

After the doors were completely open, he walked in slowly and fully alert with his sword unsheathed .

However the view of a giant snake did not appear in front of him, what he saw was a slightly bigger serpent that the ones he had already been facing.

" So I worried over nothing huh, this is gonna be super easy "

He charged towards the serpent as valiantly as he did to her minions, fully expecting the usual fire ball that they threw, but little did he know that unlike them the queen was an intelligent monster.

What had appeared to be a floor until now was a trap all along, once he stepped on the trap he fell down into a very deep pit filled with fire breathing serpents.

-what an amateur

The parchment expressed its disappointment on Irwin but he had no time to be dealing with that, since the queen also jumped down on the pit ready to gank up on him .

-careful now kid or you might not survive this.

All the serpents in the pit and the queen who was mid-air, opened their mouths and released massive fireballs on his direction .

"Green Barrier "

At his say, the same words got written on the purple parchment and just as he was about to burn to a crisp ,his body was surrounded by a green barrier that defended him from the queen's minions.

As for the queen's fireball that was twice as large, it broke the barrier completely and hit him straight on his chest, the impact sped up his fall by 50% and he found himself on the ground.
