Chapter 351 Clashing With Meera!
After getting off, Damien collected the vessel into his Purple Spatial Beast\'s Eyeball. Layla looked around using her ocular technique and ultimately raised a doubt, asking: "I don\'t see any gate here, sir. How are we going to get to Earth?"
"Trust me," Damien responded. He pulled out a medallion key, bit his finger, and dripped three drops of his essence blood into the rusty-looking object. He then recited a mantra and stuck the medallion on the ground. Thud!
The rusty iron medallion sent out a strange, web-like black sigil, and after some noise, a large stone black gate rose from the ground. The ground shook during the entire process. Layla\'s eyes beamed with excitement. "Is it the bridge connecting to Earth?" she asked.
"Yes," Damien responded. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful being closing in on them. "Finally, an interesting one turned up. Should I have a showdown before I leave this place?" he said.
"What?" Layla questioned.
"Nothing. You two leave first, I\'ll join you soon," Damien said, gesturing for Shadow Slave to leave along with Layla. Before Layla could react, Shadow Slave had already picked her up and jumped into the gate, disappearing into the pitch-black darkness.
Just then, a long, greenish trident flew down from the sky, aimed at Damien\'s head.
"Humph!" Snorting, Damien drew his black katana and sent a long, zig-zag line of sizzling white lightning toward it. The incoming water-elemental trident was shattered into multiple pieces and disappeared into the air with a loud bang. The lightning bolt also dissipated shortly, turning into a small mushroom-shaped white cloud in the air. Damien kept gazing at it.
"So, you\'re the one." A melodious female voice chimed from within the white mushroom cloud, which was gradually thinning. "You can destroy my Trident arrow that easily. What an interesting human!"
Activating his Devil\'s Eye Ocular technique, Damien scanned the area with his golden, glinting eyes and saw a gigantic, grayish python. On top of it, six Nagina people were looking down at him. In the front, his attention was caught by a bewitchingly beautiful Meera.
"Ah, what a drag! I especially don\'t like fighting beauties. See ya!" Damien unsheathed his weapon and turned towards the gate.
However, this left a sour taste on Countess Meera. Showing one\'s back to one\'s opponent was a great insult. So she sputtered: "What an arrogant man? Are you looking down on me just because I\'m a lady?" She took a step forward in the air, flickered, and reappeared behind him, covering almost half a mile within a fraction of a second. Then she zapped, aiming for his heart with her palm covered with the thick hue of bluish water elemental energy. "Die!"
As usual, Damien sensed a looming danger. So, he instinctively reacted by slapping her hand away with his palm, covered with multiple tiny white lightning bolts.
As a result of the energy explosion, Damien was propelled toward the gate. Countess Meera swayed her long tail, making him fly away from the entrance.
Damien flipped his body multiple times in the air and landed, skidding on the dusty red dirt. \'Are you done scanning her, Cynthia?\' he asked telepathically in his head.
The sleeping beauty responded, telepathically with a long yawn, \'It\'s done. I\'ll show it to you.\'
In the next instant, with a familiar beeping sound, a notification popped up in his head along with a full 3d image of Countess Meera.
Beep!
[Target X Full Body Scanning Completed!]

[Bloodline Power: Target X Has Activated 4.5% of Gorgon Bloodline Present In His Bloodstream!]
After learning her strength and power from the stats he saw in his head, Damien uttered as he stood up straight, "I take my words back. You\'re a lot more interesting than I thought."
"Indeed, she is the strongest opponent you could challenge your limits against. And I am looking forward to seeing how you will handle such a formidable opponent." Cynthia opined, her voice chiming in his head. Then, she remained silent once again.
Countess Meera, on the other hand, snorted. "Humph! As a human, you are truly a strange one."
"Fine. I will greet you with this." Damien then made a series of hand seals and yelled at the top of his lungs. "Triple Vajra Technique, Activate!" During this process, his hand seals, in conjunction with his breathing technique, opened the invisible dam in his Dantain, thereby releasing three streams of white, black, and purple lightning that flooded all over his body. They were then infused into his dull-looking black katana, covering it in three thick helical lightning bolts of white, black, and purple, wrapping around it and causing sharp, sizzling, slapping noises from time to time.
He made a horizontal slashing motion in the air, sending the three lightning bolts toward Meera.
Countess Meera, seeing it for the first time, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh-ho, a lightning ability user. This is rather appalling than ever." Immediately, she clenched her right palm and punched the air. The raw strength of her arm was so powerful that it produced sonic ripples of high energy intensity. With a loud thundering sound, the incoming lightning bolts were neutralized. Kaboom!
"Too bad. It\'s so weak!" Meera commented and further added, "Listen closely, human brat. I am here to escort you on behalf of my lord, Goddess Medusa. So, surrender to me while I am being nice. I don\'t like inflicting unnecessary harm on your body."
"Oh, the great Gorgon reached out to you to capture me alive!" Damien responded after a brief pause. "Tsk! Tsk! If you were inviting me over for a nice dinner, then I might consider spending some time with you. However, me surrendering to you, that\'s never going to happen."
In the next moment, Damien charged toward Countess Meera, his katana infused with lightning bolts ready to strike. Countess Meera, unfazed, stood her ground and prepared to defend herself. The fight between the two powerful beings was about to begin. (please, stay tuned!)
