Fantasy System Chapter 226

'What is that? A three-headed dragon?' Eric looked at the figure fighting against Ellie alongside Gazef . It was only natural that he didn't recognize the Hydra, as it wasn't a creature that existed normally in this world . Eric bottled down his curiosity and switched his focus on helping Ellie . From his position, he could see how she was pressured by the combined attacks of her two enemies .

'That doesn't seem like an actual monster…It feels ephemeral, or rather like a ghost . Could it actually be an Avatar?' Eric thought to himself while advancing through the rubble . He was rather tired from his fight, but he could only push himself .

Moving like an assassin, Eric erased his presence with Zetsu and closed in on the Hydra . However, he couldn't hide his physical appearance, and thanks to the three heads' field of view, he was spotted rather quickly . It was all according to his plan, so he wasn't stopped by this and continued to move forward . The Hydra switched its attention to Eric and its attacks were not missed by Ellie . Gazef noticed this and looked towards Eric and finally noticed the disappearance of the Wind Cage .

"You…Where are my guards?!" Gazef was more than surprised, but he didn't act on impulse . He switched his focus back to Ellie and continued fighting her .

Eric responded, "Dead . Like you will be . " He clashed against the Hydra's middle head while the other two targeted his sides . Eric jumped backward, avoiding its teeth .

"Ellie…Are you okay?" Eric asked out of worry . He could see that she was able to fight, but he was worried about something . On her left arm, a purplish-black wound disfigured it .

"It's fine, I managed to stop the poison by using my QI . I can't feel any pain for now anyway . " Ellie responded as she exchanged blows with Gazef . None of her blows managed to draw out his blood, and none of his blows managed to hit her . The only reason she was injured, was because she was caught off guard when Gazef summoned his Avatar, the Hydra .

None of her blows managed to draw out his blood, and none of his blows managed to hit her . The only reason she was injured, was because she was caught off guard when Gazef summoned his Avatar, the Hydra .

The Hydra's teeth were laced with a gooey green poison, which was the one that caused Ellie her injury . Thanks to her quick thinking, however, she managed to put a stop to it for now . But, the longer she drags the fight, the stronger the effect of the poison will be .

"Then you should focus on your opponent . I'll handle this thing . " Eric chose the best course of action that he could think about . He knew that he wasn't able to kill the Hydra right now, and so he chose to allow Ellie to focus on Gazef . Killing Gazef meant killing the Hydra . It was a gamble that he was willing to bet on .

"No longer feel any pain? Well, I'll be glad to tell you that your parents felt plenty of it . They begged me to stop as I poisoned them again and again as I gave them the antidote . They even developed an immunity to it, which made me use even stronger poison . By the time I was done, they couldn't even be recognized as they had lost most of their internal organs . I had their heads displayed on sticks, and paraded them through the four cities!"

Gazef mixed lies with truth and spoke to Ellie . His goal was to get her mad enough to lose her rational thinking, as he thought it would allow him to gain an edge over her . However, much to his disappointment, Ellie didn't react to him . It was his miscalculation to think that Ellie was the type to go berserk when angered . But, in fact, she was the type to become as calm as still water .

But, in fact, she was the type to become as calm as still water .

"My parents would never beg for their lives, so you can stop with your lies . As for parading their heads, I wouldn't put it past you . However, as I told you before, I'm not going to forgive you . I will make you know what true hell feels like . " Ellie squeezed her hands, so hard, that it felt like her Gauntlets were about to break . She channeled her QI towards them, making them transform into flaming weapons .

On the side, Eric heard what Gazef said . He bit on his lips as he thought about the emotions that Ellie was going through right now .

"I'd like to see you try! Unlike my useless guards, I will murder every last one of you! I DON'T NEED ANYONE!! ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS KINGDOM ARE USELESS!" Gazef's eyes turned red as veins popped up in his head . His scales glistened as his fist clashed with Ellie's . The two of them went blow for blow, but Gazef seemed to be overpowering her a little . Gazef punched Ellie, targeting her face, but she blocked with both of her fists . This caused Gazef's hands to get burned as they weren't as protected as the rest of his body .

But, ignoring the pain, Gazef used a roundhouse kick, sending Ellie flying towards the back . Ellie's back hit the ground as she rolled around for a couple of times . She jumped up before he could approach her and took her a fighting pose . Ellie bit hard on her teeth, showcasing her set of fangs .

'If he's able to transform, so should I! We're all part beast, so we should go even closer to a beast form!' Ellie convinced herself as she tried to make something happen within her body . Her best guess was to pump her QI reserves even harder into her muscles and bones .

Strangely enough, something did indeed happen . Ellie's body started to produce steam as if she boiling . Her muscles bloated up, turning her into a beefy form, while an orange patch of fur appeared from her elbow down . Her pupils dilated, and whisker marks appeared on her cheeks . Gazef stood motionless as he looked at Ellie with a look that screamed 'This can't be happening' .

"I told you, didn't?! I can do it without anyone's help!" Ellie shouted as her Gauntlets produced cracking sounds . Her hands and legs became a mix of human and tiger limbs, growing in size . However, thanks to Ed's mastery over Blacksmithing, they didn't break . Instead, they adapted to Ellie's new form, transforming into think, yet long claws .

Ellie crouched a little before her legs produced an explosion-like noise . The next instant, she had already punched a hole through Gazef's chest . What is that? A three-headed dragon?
