Chapter 89: I'm liking you more and more.

Seeing its attack miraculously neutralized, the snake was filled with horror:

"What's going on? How did I... end up back here?"

The snake stared at the rope, noticing the unspeakable smile in its eyes, and immediately realized:

"Your technique is time reversal?!"

Upon hearing this, Suo clapped his hands with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly. You truly are a great demon. Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore."

My spell, [Echoing Rewind], can rewind the enemy's timeline to three seconds prior. If you want to hit me, you must do so three seconds in advance.

So's words were soft, as if he were speaking to a minor character he could kill at any moment, rather than a serious enemy.

This tone enraged the snake, whose fury caused the lake water to churn and violently pound against the shore. It roared:

“A true strongman does not need to belittle the weak to highlight his own strength. Your bluffing must mean that this technique has some hidden flaws.”

For example... there are limitations to the activation of spells; they cannot be used on multiple targets simultaneously, or there are intervals between spell activations.

Upon hearing this, So was taken aback, clearly not expecting the snake to be so intelligent. However, this shock did not last long; So loved to play with information gaps.

Suo smiled confidently and said:

"Show me what you've got."

The snake snorted coldly, its body churning the lake water. As the mountain shook, a wave fifteen meters high surged up in the lake. The snake controlled this wave, which rushed towards the direction of the rope.

"Is this your solution?"

Disdainfully, Suo activated the spell [Echoes Retracing], and the surging waves immediately returned to their frenzied state.

So smirked, but his smile quickly froze on his face.

As the waves receded, the snake hidden behind them revealed itself, its mouth agape as it charged forward.

The snake is gambling that its guess is correct: regardless of whether the [Echoing Retracing] skill has a release interval or cannot be cast on multiple targets at the same time, as long as it uses the Great Wave to hide its form, it can launch a surprise attack when the Great Wave casts its spell on the Great Wave.

Clearly, the snake won the bet.

However, if So only had the [Echoing Retracing] spell, perhaps the victory in this battle would have belonged to the Serpent.

But Snake could never have imagined that, in addition to the innate brain-transfer technique and the techniques that his body already possessed, Zoe's brain could also store additional techniques carried by his previous body.

Faced with the snake's unexpected attack, Suo immediately activated his spell, and the next second...

boom!

A tremendous crash resounded, causing the entire mountain to tremble. Lake water poured down the mountainside, and a deep crater about forty meters in diameter was punched into the mountaintop.

So was drenched in sweat as he clutched his left arm, which was gushing blood. It had been pulverized into a pile of minced meat by the snake's attack, and even his sleeve was stained red with blood.

He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief:

"I didn't expect you to be so much stronger than I thought, it's a real surprise..."

Upon hearing this, the snake immediately responded:

"I'll return those words to you verbatim."

After the fight, the snake was also badly injured. Large pieces of its scales were broken, and there were even obvious dents on its sides. It is likely that several of its bones were broken.

However, this level of injury is nothing to the monster (cursed spirit). With the surge of cursed power, the injury is rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So also used the Reversal Technique to repair his damaged body. He ripped off the hunting robe that had been torn by the attack, revealing his iron-like muscles.

He stretched his limbs, his eyes fixed intently on the snake:

"Very good, you've successfully piqued my interest. Don't collapse before I'm done."

Upon hearing this, the snake paused for a moment, for no other reason than that the words were simply too pretentious.

Even a great demon capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth has never acted so arrogantly. So, by saying this beforehand, the snake was naturally at a disadvantage in the battle.

[Damn it! I have to say that again sometime!]

The snake secretly memorized these words, then turned its attention back to the snake:

"Don't be arrogant, I can play with you all day long!"

And so, the human and the monster began to fight. Their strengths were evenly matched, and after a battle, not only did they not gain the upper hand, but they became even more excited, fierce, and reckless, losing all sense of urgency.

The immense commotion of the battle brought the mountain to the brink of collapse, and the villages below lived in fear all night, attributing it to the "anger of the mountain god."

Even so, Lilith and Amelia remained fast asleep, as if the battle outside had nothing to do with them, until…

As dawn broke, So remained engrossed in his battle with the snake, a battle that sparked in him the idea of ​​making the snake his own.

Compared to other monsters, the snake may not be the strongest, but its combat intelligence is among the best of all monsters.

So guesses:

[Perhaps the snake, being a powerful demon capable of destroying mountains, was too lazy and had no interest in causing floods or mudslides. Over time, its calamity-causing attributes diminished, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain endowed it with divine attributes.]

The snake felt the same way about the rope; it hadn't experienced such an exhilarating battle in a long time and had almost forgotten what fighting felt like.

Its serpentine eyes were fixed on Suo, and Suo met the snake's gaze. Their stares grew increasingly frantic, and almost both of them were thinking the same thing:

[You're so captivating! I'm liking you more and more!]

However, just as the two sides were getting more and more into the fight, time quietly passed, and no one noticed that the hour hand on the retro-style solid wood grandfather clock in the villa was gradually pointing to "VII".

At seven o'clock in the morning, Amelia, who was sleeping peacefully in bed, opened her eyes on time.

Meanwhile, the villa trembled violently due to the battle between Snake Pull and Rope, and the crystal chandelier overhead crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces with a "crack".

The wardrobe was not spared either, crashing to the ground with a thud, causing Amelia's eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

...The daily workload has increased again.

Amelia threw off the covers, put on her shoes under the pressure that felt like being in the epicenter of a magnitude 4 earthquake, and silently walked out of the room, trying to find the source of the tremor.

Upon arriving on the first floor, one is greeted by cracked walls, large pieces of peeling paint, and tableware and cups scattered all over the floor.

Seeing these blood pressure-raising scenes, Amelia took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then pushed open the door, following the source of the vibration.

Then, they saw the snake and the rope locked in a fierce battle.

The snake and the rope were locked in a fierce battle, but suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and the air inhaled into the lungs felt like countless needles pricking the lungs painfully.

[What happened?]

Snake and Somo stopped what they were doing and searched for the source of this anomaly. Before long, they saw Amelia standing at the gate with a gloomy face.

Almost simultaneously, their eyes widened, and they realized something was wrong. Just as they were about to run away, the air froze them in place.

This was followed by Amelia's slightly angry voice:

"You two have gone too far..."

Chapter 90: Cleaning up the mess

Amelia was angry, both at the fact that the battle between the snake and the rope had made a mess of their living area, and at the fact that she had been given an extra lot of work for no reason.

Therefore, the reason why the snake and the rope were fighting was no longer important. Faced with the two, Amelia's solution was: to beat them up first.

This was a real problem for Snake and Rope, because the difference in strength was too great. In order to prevent accidentally killing them, Amelia was able to control her strength well even when she was angry.

This put Amelia's beating in a state between "extremely painful" and "being beaten to death." In order to avoid being beaten to death, the two frantically used the reversal spell, which meant taking even more beatings.

Simply beating up Snake and Thor wasn't enough to completely vent Amelia's anger. The thought of having to deal with the chaos in the entire villa made her slightly calmed mood worse again, and she wanted to punch those two a few more times.

However, Amelia quickly came up with a solution that minimized the workload, and turned her attention to snakes, ropes...

After a while, So, now dressed in her maid outfit again, with her face swollen like a pig's head, soaked a roller in putty and began to repair the broken wall plaster.

Nearby, a woman dressed in a maid outfit but with a snake's head was cleaning up the broken cups that had fallen to the ground.

So would glance at him every now and then, and when the snake-woman maid looked over, she would put on an expression that said, "This is so ugly!"

"I never imagined you could turn into a human. Do you know how disgusting it is to have a human body with a snake's head? I'm about to throw up."

As he spoke, Su made a gagging face, a provocation that immediately made Snake's hot temper itch.

"I'm a monster, of course I can turn into a human. How dare you look down on me? Get lost!"

So also lost his temper and retorted:

"Even if I'm ugly, I'm still closer to being human than you. Unlike you, who's neither human nor ghost."

With a snap, the snake crushed the porcelain shards in its hand into powder. It stared at Suo, making no attempt to conceal the fluctuations of its magical power:

"Haven't you been repaired enough?"

cableway:

"Who's afraid of who..."

Just as both sides began to unleash their magical power, preparing for another battle, a soft cough suddenly rang out, like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming Snake and Rope down.

They both looked in the same direction. Amelia crossed her arms and looked at the two of them with an impatient expression, her eyes seeming to want to devour them.

After making eye contact with Amelia, Snake and Thor shuddered and, forgetting their fight, rushed off to work.

Because they were not skilled, the two worked for three days and three nights to restore the villa to its original state. But while the interior of the villa was repaired, what about the exterior?

The mountain was riddled with holes from the battle between the snake and the rope, and the beautiful lake at its summit was also wrecked. Amelia said:

"If the eldest son wakes up and wants to enjoy the view from the terrace, this kind of view will only make him feel depressed."

Upon hearing this, the snake immediately understood. It quickly used its abilities to manipulate the soil, rocks, and water back to the location it remembered, and the entire mountain was repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Down the mountain, the villagers were considering relocating their entire village because the mountain was on the verge of collapse. But unexpectedly, a miracle happened when the villagers were about to leave the village where they had lived for generations with reluctance.

The once fragmented mountain seemed to come alive. The cracks in the mountain and the torrents flowing down from the mountainside returned to their original positions as if time had reversed. Before long, the mountain was completely restored to its original state.

Seeing this, the villagers were utterly astonished. Now, they no longer mentioned moving. Such a miracle almost convinced them that the mountain was protected by a mountain god, and that leaving at this time would be foolish.

Furthermore, the villagers erected a monument for the snake to demonstrate their faith in the gods and to pray for favorable weather and abundant harvests...

"That's more like it."

Looking at the restored mountainside, Amelia nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze back to the somewhat reserved Snake and Rope, and finally began to ask:
