Chapter 631: The Birth Of A Legend [Part 1]



"Guard me, okay?" Thirteen said as he looked at the Death Bat.

"You can count on me." Camazotz patted his chest with confidence. "If a Prince comes, I'll kill a Prince! If a King comes, I'll kill a King!"

"What if a Fiend or Celestial comes?" Thirteen asked in a teasing tone. "Will you kill them too?"

"Hahaha... no. Do you want me to die? No thanks."

"Tsk tsk. How can you become invincible when you don't have the mindset of an undefeated?"

The Death bat smirked. "I am someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Although I said that I'll kill a Majin King, that is still just an empty boast on my part."

Thirteen looked at the Death Bat with a conflicted expression, not knowing if he should praise or mock the latter for being honest. But he also felt that Camazotz was starting to change. After experiencing the battle with the Majin King, Orochi, the Death Bat had been inspired by Cranky's courage.

Despite the fact that the Honey Badger was weaker than the Ancient Eight-Headed Serpent, it didn't back down. It must've made Camazotz's blood boil-not out of anger, but with the determination to fight.

In the Death Bat's point of view, Cranky was a role model of sorts, and he wished that there would come a time when he would be able to raise his head in an arrogant manner, despite facing an enemy that was stronger than him.

'Well, if Thirteen succeeds in making this Legendary Armor, I'm sure that I won't die even if I face a Majin King in the future,' Camazotz thought. 'Even if I'm not able to defeat a Majin King, at least I will not be defeated by it. In the end, it's my win, right?'

While the Death Bat was thinking about these things, a ripple of power spread from where Thirteen was located.

Suddenly, a red light shot toward the heavens, and the image of a giant serpent appeared in the sky.

"Camazotz, you must defeat that Giant Serpent in order for this armor to recognize you as its Master!" Thirteen shouted. "Don't let it disturb my crafting process, or this armor will break apart!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Death Bat no longer hesitated and flew toward the sky in order to fight the Giant Serpent.

A glance was enough for him to know that his opponent was only a Rank 8 Sovereign, so he wasn't too bothered by it.

With a full-powered punch from the Death Bat, the Black Serpent's head exploded, and its body was pushed back by the force behind Camazotz's blow.

"Hahaha! Is that all you've got?!" Camazotz shouted. "Weakling!"

Suddenly, the body of the giant headless serpent shook.

A second later, two serpent heads appeared on the bleeding part of its body, almost making Camazotz jump back in fright.

However, after sensing that it was only a Rank 9 Monster, the Death Bat snorted and decisively charged at it, his face filled with disdain.

With a speed that surpassed the speed of sound, Camazotz blasted the two heads to oblivion, making it stagger once more.

"It's lonely here at the top," Camazotz said as if he were an extremely powerful individual, looking down on the world because he had no equal.

But before he could even enjoy his act of supremacy, the headless serpent once again moved, and this time, three heads appeared on its body.

"A Rank 9 Overlord," Camazotz snorted.

Just like earlier, he easily dealt with the monster, and even ripped apart its body in half, making sure that it wouldn't regenerate again.

However, as if to mock his attempt, the destroyed parts of the Giant Serpent merged together and formed a four-headed serpent.

"Rank 9 Sovereign..." Camazotz muttered.

This time, he didn't attack it right away and glanced at the teenage boy on the ground, who was busy adding runes on the Mythical-Grade Armor.

"Um, Thirteen, how long will you finish upgrading that armor?" Camazotz asked.

"Shhh... don't disturb me," Thirteen replied. "If you don't prevent that serpent from attacking me, don't blame me if your armor gets destroyed, okay?"

The corner of Camazotz's lips twitched after hearing the teenage boy's reply.

Earlier, he was feeling very smug of himself because he thought that the giant black serpent didn't pose any challenge to him.

But every time he killed it, it would revive and regenerate itself, becoming stronger with each revival.

Right now, it was a Rank 9 Sovereign, which meant that if it was revived after Camazotz killed it, his opponent would become a Majin Prince.

The four-headed serpent hissed angrily and attacked Thirteen, who was focused on his Rune Crafting.

Left with no choice, Camazotz gritted his teeth and attacked the four heads, destroying them

all.

But, he didn't stop with that.

He grabbed the headless serpent's body and flew high into the sky.

After flying for hundreds of meters in the sky, he felt breathless because the oxygen in the atmosphere had grown thin.

But Camazotz held his breath and continued to fly for a few more seconds before throwing the body of the Giant Serpent into the Mesosphere.

After that, he dived back down, covering his body with his wings, and transforming into a blazing comet that flashed past the sky.

Just as he was about to run out of breath, Camazotz unfurled his wings and breathed in

deeply.

The Death Bat panted for nearly a minute before he finally regained his composure.

"With this, that monster will no longer return, right?" Camazotz muttered.

Thirteen, who was busy in his Runecraft, wanted to facepalm and shout at the Death Bat to

not raise any flags.

But, he knew, more than anyone else, that it was already too late.

Camazotz, who thought that he would never see the serpent again, suddenly saw something move from high up in the sky.

At first, it looked like a small black pea, but as time passed by, this black pea grew bigger and bigger, making Camazotz's face turn grim.

The giant black serpent had returned, and this time, it was now a Majin Prince with five serpent heads, all looking at the Death Bat as if it had found its prey.
