Volume 1 Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Do You Understand the Value of Innate Divine Strength?

The legendary giant snake had a huge mouth and sharp teeth, from which a drop of poison dripped down onto the boulder, creating a small wisp of poisonous mist.

Its sharp teeth were only one step away from where Julie had just stood.

Yet, it could not take that single step closer.

Because a figure stood right there.

With one hand, they held up the giant snake’s jaw.

All the mercenaries held their breath, watching this scene in surprise.

Because the figure blocking the giant snake was not tall, even among humans, it could be considered to have a rather slender body.

From a distance, it looked like a toothpick was holding up a carriage.

And the one who was pushing against the snake’s head with one hand was, of course…

"Is that the warrior woman from yesterday… Kululu?!"

In the official team of South Sotua Silver Citadel, someone recognized Lolth and shouted out loud.

Then, they recalled this person’s self-introduction.

Born with incredible strength…

This "god" of "incredible strength," could it be referring to a divine being?

The charge of a legendary-level giant snake was easily blocked by them raising their hand.

It seemed that she was not near this stone just now.

In other words…

Besides easily blocking the legendary level monster with one hand, she was also very fast!

The scene became silent.

Then, they noticed that there was another person on the stone.

Lolth also noticed the movement behind her, so after blocking the giant snake, she turned her head to glance back.

"Raven?"

The one tugging at the frightened and weak Julie’s collar, who was bleeding, was the quiet little girl in the black cloak.

The other person looked at her with some surprise, but ultimately nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thank you."

Raven said softly.

"It’s nothing, just a little help… Wait, aren’t you here to save people too? Why are you thanking me?"

Lolth said this, but Raven did not seem to want to answer.

However, Lolth had started to have some guesses about Raven’s identity.

At that moment, the enormous force from the snake’s head being held up by her right hand felt like a silent protest against Lolth’s behavior of ignoring it.

Lolth knew that it was not the right time to discuss this with Raven, so she simply turned back.

Looking at the enormous snake staring at her, Lolth sighed.

"Stop staring, go back."

She said this and let go.

But the giant snake, clearly controlled by someone and angered, would not give up easily.

Its head tilted back slightly again, ready to strike once more.

But just as the giant snake moved its head forward again.

Lolth’s voice rang out once more.

"I said… go back and do what you are supposed to do."

Her voice was cold and clear, as if speaking to the giant snake or to someone else.

Lolth’s right hand appeared in front of the giant snake again.

But this time, it was not an open hand to simply stop its advance.

But a tightly clenched fist.

"Bang!"

Lolth’s fist struck the giant snake’s snout covered in scales.

There came the force from Lolth herself, a lazy succubus who hardly exercised and possessed very little strength.

And…

Four level nine strength enchantments.

Five level nine speed enchantments.

Thirteen level seven strength boost spells.

Twenty level eight stamina boost spells.

Six level nine comprehensive enhancement spells.

Forbidden spell: Blood intent amplification.

Forbidden spell: Demon-breaking condensation.

The total power gained from the fifty spells above.

Even Lolth, who is not skilled in close combat and has a small base level, struck a punch powerful enough to intimidate to the legend level.

"Hiss—"

The giant snake’s cold-blooded face and flat features showed a look of "pain" as it flew backward into the pile of monsters.

"Boom!"

Its massive upper body crashed down with a roar, raising countless dust and stones.

Lolth calmly shook her wrist, showing a look of real pain.

"Oh no, my wrist hurts so much, now my right hand can’t be used!"

As she said this, she glanced at Raven and Julie.

Raven nodded again, and Julie seemed to have lost much of the faint blue hue on her face with Raven’s help, probably having been cured of the poison.

"Thank you."

Julie said weakly, as if she was still very weak.

Lolth didn’t bother thanking Julie back; she turned and with a few hops, jumped over some stones where the mercenaries stood, returning to her original rock amid everyone’s admiring gazes and as they all made way for her.

Ling had known since yesterday that Lolth was strong, but she still raised an eyebrow slightly at that moment.

"You really are a warrior, Miss Kululu."

Clearly, she was talking about the "scroll" from last night.

Lolth looked at her, her gaze drifting to the ground.

"What else?"

She responded like this, so Ling did not ask more questions.

In comparison, Krado and Florence were much more surprised.

"Born with great power… right?"

Krado looked at Lolth, confirming, and asked.

"Elite level, right?"

Florence was more direct; this Hobbit felt completely tricked.

Lolth shrugged and then opened her hands.

"Yes, born with great strength, Elite Level… What’s wrong?"

She gave up.

However, even though she had been exposed, for Lolth, this disguise had only lost one layer.

Moreover, this was something Lolth had expected and even did on purpose.

Now that the situation is so complicated, pretending to be weak could cause more trouble.

Showing a part of her strength was mostly to save people, but it also sent a message to those "hidden figures" to stay away.

After all, according to Krado, these people would show their power by picking on bystanders.

By doing this, she could temporarily stay safe and out of trouble.

Is it a conflict with my character as an Elite Level warrior woman who has natural strength if I choose to respond with brute force?

No!

I never said how strong I really am.

Is there a problem with knocking back a legendary level giant snake with one punch?

Then there’s "Miss Raven"…

Even though she just rushed over and pulled Julie back a step, and also cured some poison, she didn’t attack directly.

But she revealed much more than I did.

Thinking of this, Lolth looked toward the direction where Julie and Raven were.

The two girls, both not very tall, stood there and seemed to be talking about something.

Looking at Julie’s reaction and expression…

Although "Raven" was wrapped up tightly, she must have still been recognized by Julie.

So, Lolth watched the scene of the two young girls talking and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm… It’s time to eavesdrop."
