Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 299

(EP-299.1) Master #3

299 – Master of the Forest #3

Zzzzzzzzz.

Angala’s massive body was itself a destructive weapon. Just the act of it charging at me forced me to focus all my energy on defense.

─108 Venom Legs Spiral!

Kagagagak!

Sharp, blade-like legs surged toward me.

Was this how a tree felt under a chainsaw’s teeth? Every time its big limbs grazed my body, another layer of my magic shield shattered.

─Saba Magic, Poison Mist.

Puuuuu...

The real problem wasn’t just its immense size. As it claimed to be a spirit or immortal, it was attacking me using various techniques and magic.

Like just now, for example.

Purple smoke billowed out from between its sharp fangs.

Hwaaaaaa!

I instinctively covered my nose and mouth, realizing that breathing it in would spell disaster.

Ssss.

Seeing the surrounding skeletons melt upon contact with the mist, a sense of crisis shot through me like an arrow.

That stuff was seriously potent.

If it weren’t for the Angmar Robe, I would have ended up like that too.

━You’re wearing quite a fine robe, mage.

“......”

I stepped back, trying to put some distance between us.

Angala, who had been rolling her massive body toward me like a set of serrated gears, quivered as she laughed, watching me retreat.

━A wise move. But mages like you can’t cast spells while covering your nose and mouth, can you? So, what will you do now?

This felt like a teacher dealing with a child. It was clear that it wasn’t taking me seriously.

If it were Elga, I probably would have been annoyed and taught her a lesson. But I felt relieved instead.

While the opponent was off guard, there was nothing more effective than exploiting that gap.

A weak spot.

Yes, the weak spot was key. Even though Angala had a body as tough as a rock or diamond, there had to be some kind of vulnerability.

Sususu-.

I carefully observed the massive body coiling around me like a serpent. The gleaming carapace and legs could likely deflect most spells.

Should I aim for the belly?

No, I had tried wind blade magic earlier, and even the underside was as tough as the back. In that case, the face? The head or neck was a basic yet critical weak point.

Whoooosh-!

At that moment, I saw the giant body coiled before springing toward me. The centipede Angala’s head lunged forward, as if wanting to tear me apart with its fangs.

It was like a train charging at full speed, and I knew I had to get out of the way fast. Thankfully, there was a spell I had developed specifically to evade attacks like this.

─Fairy Steps!

Whoosh.
