The system identified the beast as a Northern Water Snake, a Demonic Beast dwelling in lakes and rivers, capable of manipulating water for attack and defense. Lizarius, seeing the wind blades hadn't even scratched it, thought, The wind blades didn't even leave a scratch, and it can control water. What's its rank?
The system replied, "Target's data is beyond the current system authority."
The snake's gaze remained fixed on Lizarius. So you don't know its rank? Lizarius thought.
"Correct. Target's cultivation rank exceeds current system access level," the system confirmed.
Lizarius's thoughts of its rank were cut short as the snake lunged, jaws wide open, releasing a powerful water jet from its mouth. Lizarius couldn't dodge and was struck, but managed to block by putting his wings forward. The force sent him flying, crashing into a rock that shattered on impact. Yet, Lizarius brought himself to a stop, skidding just past the wreckage.
The snake instantly appeared in front of Lizarius, jaws wide open, biting down. Lizarius released lightning and swung his wings, dodging its jaws, but a massive black tail suddenly appeared beside Lizarius, striking with terrifying force and sending him flying into the lake. The snake wasted no time, diving into the lake after Lizarius.
Inside the water, the snake swam, searching for Lizarius, who was invisible, his golden eyes glowing. He swam closer to the snake's massive body, then closer to its head. It's way stronger than me, but if I can catch it by surprise, I can kill it. He swung his tail, piercing towards the snake's eye, but the attack was blocked by a thin cloak of water covering its body. I can't even pierce its eye? How strong is it?
The snake moved its eye, looking at Lizarius. Lizarius released lightning from his body, striking the snake.
