Nadia's Prey
Nadia's Prey
However, when one combined its huge antlers that looked like a unique battering ram, it extended its entire height to fifteen meters tall.
It looked around for a moment before laying on the ground, making itself comfortable over the ground filled with dirt and leaves. However, it did not close its eyes but stared into the scenery as if its eyes lost focus.
Davis and Evelynn who stood on a branch on a tree a little bit away looked at the Magical Beast in pleasant surprise. Because...
This Magical Beast is a lone Low-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast!
What's more was that it was a Light Attributed Magical Beast, Radiant Mountain Deer!
His eyes rather glowed with strange light because the entire body of this mountain deer can be sold at a high cost, perhaps even ranging more than 1,000 High-Level Spirit Stones because of its medicinal uses.
Its antlers, hide and even organs carried many medicinal uses. Its antlers were especially favored in many professions such as Alchemy and Blacksmith.
Initially, he knew that some Light Attributed Magical Beasts were tame and not much aggressive, so he didn't want to go out of his way to hunt it since it seemed more like the herbivore type, just looking as if it is seemingly living in its own world.
But he knew that there were no complete herbivores in Magical Beasts Species but even then he didn't want to go out of his way to hunt this Radiant Mountain Deer.
However, Nadia insisted otherwise.
It seemed that she rather favored deer meat extensively and the Light Attributed Radiance Mountain Deer had heavily invoked her appetite as he could see drool full of saliva fill her mouth.
Davis felt that their conflicting dark and light attributes might be the reason but looking at her face that was melted in greed and hunger, he allowed her to hunt the poor deer.
Besides, he could also get its Soul Essence. It became a win-win situation for them.
Hence, Nadia was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right opportune moment to ambush the Radiant Mountain Deer!
Perhaps it was rather sensitive to dark, the Radiant Mountain Deer kept looking in Nadia's direction with its unfocused eyes despite it clearly relaxing and showering in the sunbath.
Even when Nadia tried to circle around many times, it still looked in its direction.
This standoff that lasted for ten minutes irritated Davis, so he straightaway ordered Nadia to battle openly.
Nadia, who felt like it she had no choice, didn't rebut him and jumped on the Radiance Mountain Deer from the shadows!
Abruptly, the Radiance Mountain Deer's lips curved in disdain.
Blinding light instantly erupted from its antler-like arcs of illumination, traveling towards Nadia who had exited from the void of the shadows.
Nadia's eyes widened as she recognized the arc of light both blind her vision and attack at the same time. She didn't faze but swung her tail above at the arc of light and threw an eerie dark ball.
The attack gave almost no sound and eerily moved as it targeted the attack. The two conflicting attributes came into contact she let out sizzling sounds as if countering each other.
At this time, Nadia made a maneuver and ran to the left as she glided through the air. She instantly neared the Radiant Mountain Deer with her incredible speed and pounced with while bearing her canine teeth and claws.
The Radiant Mountain Deer didn't back down but instead inclined its head and rammed is antler along with a burst of light energy threatening to purify Nadia.
Nadia didn't back down either. Her big claws glowed with a dark light as she pounded on the antlers, blocking her way to the delicious meat.
But as expected, the Radiant Mountain Deer smiled with disdain. It had successfully stopped Nadia's dark claw attack with its brittle yet durable looking huge antlers. It was rather proud of its huge antlers because it had mated with countless other deers by displaying its grandeur.
Nevertheless, he liked to remain solo, completely living only for himself. He had discovered something dark reek around his resting grounds just a while ago, so he had stayed cautious and even informed the intruder that he had discovered the anomaly through watching it.
Even then, he didn't expect that the intruder, the dark wolf was stupid enough to attack.
He laughed, "What do I have to hide? Many think I'm easy prey but they all end up dead... rotting in my stomach."
However, it failed to see that the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf in front of it, only possessed a single tail.
The Radiant Mountain Deer suddenly widened its eyes as he felt it!
*Crunch!~*
The sound of huge fangs sinking into the deer's delicious neck echoed!
Blood quickly flowed over his skin as the Radiant Mountain Deer let out a grisly scream that made Davis and Evelynn blink in astonishment.
Nadia tightly held the Radiant Mountain Deer back with her claws that radiated dark attribute as it clawed into his skin, putting her entire body weight and strength to suppress while the doppelganger also did the same to the huge antlers.
Nadia strengthened her bite and tried to rip off the Radiant Mountain Deer's head but suddenly immense light engulfed the deer from his antlers, taking it along with Nadia's entire figure!
Nadia felt herself burning! Her tongue burned as if it were on extreme heat! She could no longer hold the Radiant Mountain Deer and jumped behind to a distance by using her forelegs!
The Radiant Mountain Deer still screamed as he shook around, his neck spurting out liters of blood! His two hind legs thrashed behind in the empty air as he was trying to kick Nadia who might suddenly attack him again.
In his bloodshot eyes was an unknown emotion to it, an emotion that is known as the fear of death!
Nadia had no leeway to attack since the deer was now covered in blinding light attributed energy. She turned to look at the one who was closely affected, her doppelganger, and saw that the chin and lower half of her entire muzzle had disappeared.
Fortunately, she had been to the size, so only her tongue was burned and her eyes were a little blinded.
"Indeed, light has a significant advantage over darkness even if its a bit stronger..."
Davis commented on their battle, informing Evelynn of his findings.
Evelynn felt only a little bit disgusted at the sight of spurting blood and the deep wound over its neck because her Noxious Flesh-Searing Poison had made her seen worse. Then she nodded her head, learning the difference and information from Davis's comments.
They discussed the brutal battle that went on and continued for a long time.
Twenty minutes passed and twenty minutes is rather a long time in battle as each second deeply counted.
Surprisingly, the Radiant Mountain Deer had healed his neck and other injuries with light energy. Even though it was continuously injured by Nadia, it managed to carry out a defensive battle and held out against Nadia's attacks with his extremely durable antlers that glowed with blinding light.
Similarly, Nadia had also launched attacks with her dark glowing claws and tail along with her doppelganger, however, it became extremely difficult to pierce through the Radiant Mountain Deer's light-based defense as it conflictingly inflicted burn injuries over her.
