This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 839 - 771: Dust Python

In front of Soraka and the others stood a worm-like creature resembling thick, green mucus.

This worm-like creature lacked normal facial features, and the mucus flowed everywhere it passed.

Meanwhile, its head boasted a rotating, sharp-toothed maw with formidable devouring capabilities.

Previously, they had encountered a fungal worm that not only could devour Yale and the others' attacks but also made the dragon-like Soraka fall ill with fever upon contact.

That mucus was the disease!

Moreover, each fungal worm's disease differed in strength!

Coupled with its incredibly keen sense of smell, it was arguably one of the most troublesome Horus life forms they had encountered.

"Hawk Bureau!"

Yale's face was still a bit pale, due to prior battle injuries, but his voice was full of vigor.

As soon as he finished, a brilliant white light erupted from his eyes, his right hand lifted high and dropped a heavy piece.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound echoed as a pure white chess piece descended on the fungal worm.

At the same time, several black and white chess piece shadows formed above Soraka and the others.

A faint hawk-shaped shadow flashed by.

Yale's attack formation, the Hawk Bureau!

Simultaneously, Soraka charged forward, relying on her impressive physical prowess to take the lead.

Xiaoguoren and Shabi followed closely, their figures appearing and disappearing, ensuring they could deliver a deadly strike at the right moment.

Selas, Gabri, and Risha stood beside Yale, protecting him while launching ranged attacks.

Of course, Selas had undergone certain changes after entering Horus, and preferred close combat over ranged attacks.

After years of working together, the members of this small team, differing in race, class, gender, and age, had come to a mutual understanding.

Though not entirely close, they were at least mentally in sync.

Under Yale's central coordination, everyone's abilities improved significantly.

Yale knew each person's personality, temperament, and abilities, and took seriously his responsibility to bring these youngsters back to Naseng, never allowing himself to slack off.

Through his dedicated efforts, Yale managed to organize the team rather well.

Even when there were significant conflicts among members, he managed to resolve them both overtly and covertly.

However, it was becoming increasingly difficult to mediate.

"Roar!!!"

The fungal worm in front of them let out a roar, its head splitting open, and its mucus-composed body cracked into a form resembling a Hydra.

Each head aimed at a person, opened its tooth-filled maw to devour them.

Though there was no trace of black mist within its body, proving it hadn't reached the level of law comprehension.

Yet Yale and the others did not relax for one moment.

The main feature here was the strangeness!

Even without black mist, it didn't necessarily mean it hadn't comprehended laws; perhaps they just hadn't manifested.

"Kill!"

Soraka charged forward, a right hand punch, illuminated with a glow despite being of the Scholar profession.

[Mathematician] Skill — π!

[Mathematician] Skill — Golden Ratio!

[Mathematician] Skill — Perfect Triangle Blade!

Under Laplace's guidance, they had learned to use mathematical skills more flexibly.

At this moment, energy surrounded Soraka's right fist, with a triangular light shadow faintly visible.

Upon closer inspection, the triangles were not only sharp and stable but also carried energy that could affect one's mind.

Combination skill!

The combined skill of Triangular Stability and π!

Furthermore, the three vertices of the triangle had star-like sparkling points.

Three-skill combo!

One of the long-standing characteristics of a [Mathematician] is not being skilled in combat.

Mathematics?

Just calculate at a desk!

That's what most people thought.

But then, someone appeared out of nowhere.

Laplace!

The only son of the Ice Marquis in the Black and White Kingdom!

A follower of Lin Ke!

Before Lin Ke, a rising star in the field of mathematics.

Laplace had worked under Lin Ke in many departments, including commerce, construction, personnel, and science.

His extensive experiences gave him rich knowledge.

Thus, Laplace developed the [Mathematician] close combat mode, debuting it in a defensive war between Great Wilderness University and a Star Realm Void Beast...

Afterwards, nearly every student at the School of Mathematics transformed into Math Warriors.

In training grounds, competition rooms, and fields... wherever battles occurred, there were Math Warrior students fighting.

And as a member of the School of Mathematics, Soraka naturally trained as well.

In recent years especially, Soraka's skill usage became increasingly adept, now able to unleash a three-skill combo with a flick of her wrist.

With her powerful physique, she single-handedly held off the fungal worm.

"Pff..."

The fungal worm's mucus splattered like a bomb, shooting like bullets at Soraka, only to be blocked by the geometric patterns on her body, making a corroding sound.

Meanwhile, the fungal worm extended its other heads towards Soraka, mouths opening wide to bite her.

Soraka's face was stern, her golden hair dancing as she swung her fists rapidly, severing the fungal worm's heads.

On the other side, Xiaoguoren and Shabi's figures flickered around the fungal worm's body, and whenever they appeared, a ghostly light flashed as their daggers sliced through the fungal worm, leaving a wound.

Though the fungal worm seemed like a pool of liquid, it actually had skin composed of a cellular wall.

This skin seemed flimsy, but as the fungal worm crawled along, nothing could pierce it.

Yet now, Xiaoguoren and Shabi's elementally charged daggers cut through it, spilling sticky green fluid.

"Quick battle!"

Yale, initially serious, grew even more solemn as Risha focused their attention on the sky.

"Hiss!!!"

A piercing howl echoed faintly from the dark-clouded sky.

Initially from afar, but upon careful listening, it seemed close.

"It's a Dust Python!"

Risha slowly uttered these words, white light gathering in their eyes.

This fungal worm was easily handled; Soraka alone could deal with it.

The issue lay in the fact that using elemental powers in this environment was fine, but using laws would make them stand out like a torch in the night.

They hadn't used any laws, but their energy fluctuations differed from Horus's.

Slight changes wouldn't be noticed from far away, but nearby Horus life forms would react.

This was why they were constantly on the run.

"Then let's finish this quickly!" said Selas, their mouth curling into a smile.
