Chapter 11 Devil Python

Charging towards the Devil python, I used Geppo to go for its head. It perceive my intention and used its hair to attack me. If I get stabbed by those hair I'm sure I'll be poisoned. Dodging its continues attacks, I managed to arrive in its head. Using both Tekkai and Armament haki I threw a rain of punches on its head while dodging its hair. The Devil python starts screaming in pain as I continued my storm like attacks.

The Devil python starts to shook its head to get me out of it. Succeeding on its move from dusting me away from its head, it started to attack using its claw and extending it away. As i dodge, it generated a few claws and attack me. Still it can't hit me. As it rely on range attacks, I counter it with Rankyaku. Several of its limbs were cut off, still the attacks never end. I saw all its severed claws has been regenerated. It seems it gives up on using its claw on attacking me and starts spitting large amount of acid. Seeing this, I immediately used Geppo and Soru to avoid the acid. It seems the Devil python can't regenerate anymore because it used up to much stamina. So I decided to end this battle. I used Soru to move on its head and used Rokuogan that is reinforced with Tekkai and Armament haki. The Devil pythons head exploded and its body starts convulsing. A few seconds and it stopped moving.

I stored its body to my storage and started walking towards the exit. I met a few hunters along the way. I seemed to be unlucky for I didn't carry any harvest from the lagoon. None of them attacked me so my journey out of the lagoon was smooth. As exiting I heard a few people gossiping.

"You seemed out of luck. You didn't get a single ingredients and got wounded." (Man A)

"Yeah, I encountered a weird beast. A bird like beast with hands. When I was about to take a mushroom growing near, it suddenly attacked me. I manage to run away so I'm still lucky. Do you know a beast like that?" (Man B)

"What? A new species? How can it be? We should report this and gain fame on discovering this beast." (Man A)

"That's a good idea. I should do that, getting attacked by it and gain fame isn't it lucky. What should I call that?" (Man B)

"The name of it is Nitro."

As I heard him I unintentionally answered him. Hearing what I said the man looked at me and ask.

"Do you know that beast?" (Man B)

"Yeah. It attacked me earlier, it manage to escape from me after getting a good beating. The beast your talking about is a beast with bird head and hairy body right?" (Satou)

"Yeah. As you said. You fought with it! Aren't you skinny? How can you defeat such beast making it turn its tail on you?" (Man B)

"Stop being bragat kid." (Man A)

As that man said that I point my finger on the rock and used Shigan on a rock nearby. The rock got pierced leaving a bullet like hole. Seeing this both of them stopped talking. I started walking as if nothing happened.
