Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 235: Gem Beast(2)

The more gems a Gem Beast ate and the more valuable those gems were, the more powerful its defense would be.

As such, the defense of Gem Beasts was arguably the strongest among monsters of the same realm, and even monsters and human cultivators of the same realm would have trouble breaking it.

"Damn it! Why did a Level 3 Monster show up so soon? And why did it have to be a Gem Beast?", Patriarch Li couldn't help but think, cursing his luck secretly.

Although he had been mentally prepared to die together with the Bright Moon City, he didn't want this to happen so soon.

After all, his son had just left the city and shouldn't have run very far.

If the Bright Moon City were to be destroyed, the monsters would never stop there and would take the initiative to attack the hinterland of the Blood God Temple.

Once this happened, his son would inevitably be affected!

"I can't allow this to happen! I must distract this Gem Beast and buy as much time as possible.", Patriarch Li thought, and having made a decision, he didn't hesitate.

His figure flashed and appeared above the Gem Beast, and his right hand which held a silver sword moved, swinging the sword down.

"Clang!"

The sword hit the head of the Gem Beast, but it only caused a few sparks to form and didn't cause any damage, failing to penetrate even its outermost defense.

Feeling the counterforce coming from the sword, Patriarch Li's body trembled, and even though he had expected this result, he was still a little shocked when he saw that his attack failed to damage the Gem Beast.

"Sure enough. Just like rumored, it's impossible to break the defense of a Gem Beast.", he thought, knowing full well that he would never be its opponent.

But even so, his movements didn't slow down.

"Clang! Clang!"

Seeing his attack fail, he didn't stop but attacked the Gem Beast a few more times, before he urged his Mana and ran away, rushing into the Myriad Demons Forest.

Although the Gem Beast didn't suffer any damage, being inexplicably attacked by an "ant", it still became a little angry.

However, when it saw Patriarch Li's figure, its pupils which resembled gems shone with a dazzling three-colored light.

"Roar!"

The Gem Beast let out an excited and immediately turned around, chasing after Patriarch Li.

In its eyes, the figure of Patriarch Li seemed to be the most tasty delicacy.

As for the Bright Moon City?

The Gem Beast felt that it would destroy it after it had its meal!

From the appearance of the Gem Beast to the escape of Patriarch Li and the subsequent chase, only a brief moment had passed, and neither the monsters nor the human cultivators had much time to react.

It was only when the figures of a human and a monster had completely disappeared that everyone finally woke up and turned their attention to each other.

"Roar!"

"Kill!"

Soon, fighting noises spread, as the war between the monsters and the humans continued.

****

On the outskirts of the Myriad Demons Forest, a human and a Gem Beast were fighting, bringing massive amounts of destruction wherever they passed.

It was said to be a fight, but actually, it was more like a one-sided beating.

The Gem Beast constantly pounced on Patriarch Li, who could only dodge in a hurry, unwilling to come in contact with the Gem Beast's claws.

From time to time, Patriarch Li would take the opportunity to attack the Gem Beast, but his efforts proved to be meaningless.

His attacks landed on the Gem Beast, who didn't try to dodge nor did it put up any defense, instead letting the sword fall on its body.

"Clang! Clang!"

Bursts of sparks appeared as the Gem Beast withstood Patriarch Li's attacks with extreme ease.

Seeing that his attacks did not cause any damage and feeling the constant sense of danger in his heart, Patriarch Li couldn't help but feel helpless.

His realm had actually reached the Aspect Stage and even though he hadn't supplemented his Vision much, he was still one of the rare powerful Awakening Realm cultivators.

Yet, although this Gem Beast was only a Low-Grade Level 3 Monster, equivalent to a Vision Stage cultivator, it still made him feel hopeless.

"Is the gap so big?", Patriarch Li thought as he continued leading the Gem Beast deeper into the Myriad Demons Forest, trying his best to buy time.

Although the Gem Beast was a monster, its intelligence was not low at all, and immediately understood his plan.

However, not only did it not stop him, but even allowed him to run away and struggle, like a cat that was playing with a mouse.

Time quickly went by, and even though the Gem Beast didn't use its full power, it still caused Patriarch Li to suffer.

Unknowingly, various wounds had appeared all over his body, with deep claw marks appearing on his shoulders, abdomen, and lower back.

A look of panic appeared on his face, satisfying the Gem Beast's morbid curiosity, but inwardly, Patriarch Li was unexpectedly calm.

"It's now!", Patriarch Li suddenly thought as the gem Beast pounced on him once again.

This time, he didn't dodge nor did he put up any defense.

Instead, for the very first time, he chose to use his Vision.

Instantly, a moon appeared behind his back, which shone with a beautiful silver light.

However, despite what its beautiful appearance would suggest, this moon made the Gem Beast's intuition warn it of danger.

The Gem Beast took back its claws in a hurry and wanted to dodge, but having waited for so long for this opportunity, Patriarch Li didn't give it a chance.

With a move of his mind, the moon behind his back exploded and turned into thousands of silver swords.

Then, these swords glowed with a sharp light before moving, rushing towards the Gem Beast at an extremely high speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The swords fell continuously on the Gem Beast, causing the surrounding area to be destroyed.

Dust, soil, and rocks flew everywhere, making it difficult for Patriarch Li to see the Gem Beast's condition.

"Did it work?", Patriarch Li wondered, while his face turned pale and blood flowed out of his lips.

However, he didn't pay much attention to this.

Instead, he held his breath, wanting to see if the attack he had made at the expense of his own Vision had actually injured the Gem Beast.

As long as it did, the Bright Moon City would be safe for the time being!

Under Patriarch Li's anxious expression, the dust soon settled, revealing the Gem Beast that had been previously hiding inside.

But when the Gem Beast appeared, Patriarch Li was shocked.

Even after being hit by his strongest attack, the Gem Beast didn't suffer any damage at all, as unknowingly, a three-colored light had appeared around its body.

Although this light was riddled in cracks and soon crumbled into pieces, it was still able to withstand his attack.

Staring at the playful eyes of the Gem Beast, Patriarch Li couldn't help but become desperate.

"It's over!", he thought.
