Chapter 304.2. The Mass Of Flesh
Dark feathers scatter from its wings, covering the dragon’s field of vision like a blanket.
“Now’s my chance!”
[High Accelerator]
I leap off Kou’s back and charge toward the dragon, extending my hand. Concentrating mana, I unleash a divine-level spell.
[Blade of the Dark God]
A massive, ominous blade, as if emerged from the abyss, appears in my hand.
“Haaa!”
Though I’m no swordsman, this divine blade can cut through anything. I slash at the dragon’s neck as we pass each other.
“Groooar!”
The dragon’s neck is sliced like butter, and the mass of flesh tumbles to the ground. A crater forms as it crashes, lying motionless.
[Beast Transformation]
The headless dragon reverts to a mass of flesh, then transforms into a four-legged monstrosity resembling a triceratops. A beast with two beautiful ruby-like horns. It’s like a behemoth.
[Tempest Blast]
Roaring, the mass of flesh summons a rain of lightning from the sky. Thunder crashes down with a deafening roar.
[High Dark Drain Wall]
I erect a barrier around myself, blocking the incoming thunderstorm. The sound of thunder echoes, and purple lightning streaks across the surroundings.
“Caw~”
Unable to fully evade the thunderstorm, Kou takes damage and plummets. Kou is out of the fight.
“You’re still alive even after losing your head?!”
“This form is both my true form and a false one.”
“So no matter how your appearance changes, your true nature is still a mass of flesh!”
“Exactly. Die!”
The mass of flesh proudly declares, sounding oddly human-like. I wonder who it’s modeled after.
[Shining Horn]
The beast’s body glows, transforming into light as it charges with its horns. The massive body leaves afterimages, inspiring awe at its sheer power rather than fear.
But if it hits me, I’ll be crushed to pieces like an ant compared to this beast.
“Not happening.”
“Kou!”
“Chii~”
With my commanding words, a cute, mouse-like cry echoes as Kou, the water serpent, leaps out. It’s now 100 meters long, its translucent crystal-like body gleaming beautifully.
Kou twists its semi-transparent body and confronts the beast.
[High Aqua Swamp]
A beautiful, bottomless swamp appears in front of the beast. Charging headlong, the beast is unable to avoid the swamp and becomes stuck, halting its movement.
“Alright, Kou. Let’s finish this!”
“Chii~”
[Dark God’s Blessing]
[Hydro God Breath]
Empowered by my blessing, Kou’s body turns pitch black. It concentrates all its enhanced power into its mouth and unleashes a colossal water breath.
The pitch-black breath strikes the beast, eroding its body. The beast is slowly pushed back as its body is worn away.
“Grr, don’t underestimate me, you familiar!”
[High Thunder Breath]
Inadvertently echoing Tia’s words, the mass of flesh unleashes a thunderous roar. The water breath is blown away, and the thunder breath strikes Kou directly. An explosion occurs, lightning flashes, and Kou’s body crumbles.
“Chii chii~”
A small snake emerges from the crumbling serpent’s body and escapes, scurrying away quickly.
“Familiars can’t defeat me. …Where is that man?”
Having crushed Kou with overwhelming force, the mass of flesh mutters proudly but then panics upon realizing Sakimori is missing, frantically looking around.
“Over here, mass of flesh.”
Hearing the man’s voice from above, it looks up in alarm to see Sakimori descending with one hand raised.
In that hand, pitch-black mana is concentrated, and he falls like a meteor.
“Sit!”
[Dark God’s Hammer]
Sakimori’s strike, infused with dark energy, lands on the beast’s torso. The impact is so powerful it creates a hole in the massive body, accompanied by the sound of shattering bones.
An immense pressure crushes the beast’s body, turning it into mincemeat.
“I might make a good breeder.”
“You’d be an illegal operator.”
Though reduced to mincemeat, the mass of flesh shows no sign of pain, instead sprouting tentacles to attack me.
The flesh tentacles morph into spearheads, flying at me at high speed. Flapping my dark wings, I evade the attacks. But more tentacles sprout, raining down on me like a storm.
“Really, what do you take me for, a saint?”
“Mike, your turn.”
“Meow~”
With those words, a dark tiger is summoned with a kitten-like cry, carrying me on its back. It dashes across the ground now covered in the mass of flesh.
“Meow meow~”
Mike deftly evades the storm of tentacles with cat-like agility, effortlessly dodging every attack without a scratch.
Thudding sounds echo as the spear-like tentacles pierce the mass of flesh’s own body. Mike runs swiftly, suddenly leaping into the air. Tentacles sprout from the ground, attempting to skewer us, but Mike’s sharp senses allow it to react in time.
Using the tentacles as stepping stones, Mike continues to leap and dodge without pause.
“Such a fidgety little thing!”
“Cats are naturally fidgety. Didn’t you know? If you don’t feed them, catching them is impossible.”
[Dark Emperor’s Swift Claw]
I nonchalantly reply to the irritated mass of flesh as Mike runs across its body, tearing it apart with sharp claws. The damage might be negligible, but there’s only one way to defeat it. I need Mike to confirm it.
The gaps torn in the mass of flesh reveal the same pulsating pink flesh. No matter how much damage is dealt, it won’t die. It’s truly immortal.
That’s why I need to confirm. As Mike continues to tear through the flesh, more and more cuts appear.
The mass of flesh shows no concern. It must have decided to ignore the damage, relentlessly attacking without restraint.
But there’s a slight delay in its attacks. Noticing the momentary opening, Sakimori smirks faintly, as if he’s found what he was looking for.
