Chapter 274: CHAPTER 274 - Shatter Devourer 2.
Shatter devourer was a black-colored mass of energy with silver flashes lighting over it.
It was like a dark cloud with thunder streaking across it, but unlike clouds and thunder, this mass of energy was much more destructive….
It was a conscious ability.
An ability that could feel and talk like a normal human, but just like a normal living being, it was just born, so it didn’t know much about the world.
It could feel a connection with Alex, just like he could, but that was all.
The shatter devourer didn’t know what was happening.
It couldn’t even ask, it didn’t have that much intelligence.
All it did was move toward Alex as it could feel that’s what Alex wanted.
It could feel Alex’s urgency, but it didn’t know what that meant, and even if it somehow did, it couldn’t move without mana supply.
No one knew that it had a consciousness, not even Alex since he had waved away the system’s notification, and the same for the information that arrived inside of his brain.
Right now, every single cell of his brain was thinking a way out of this situation.
But again, his arrogance won’t just let him stop.
He wanted to fight them.
Though arrogance might not be the only reason….
’Hahahahahahahaha!’
Alex laughed inwardly as he ran.
He could feel his blood rushing to his brain.
’This is the feeling!’
The feeling that he always searched for. This was it.
He could feel his heart pounding against his rib cage, it felt like it would jump out of there.
His body was trembling with excitement as he pushed it to the limit.
He was still not completely in the incubus form, and even if he was, he wouldn’t be able to outrun the four demon generals.
He could defeat one of them, he was sure of it.
If he didn’t have Luna in his arms, and he was facing one of the demon generals, he was sure that he would be able to defeat them.
Even if he lost a limb or two, he would defeat them.
’I need to get her somewhere safe….’
Alex’s brows knit together, forming a frown as he felt the demon generals’ speed.
’They are fast, especially that vampire…’
Alex grounded his teeth, thinking of a way out.
He knew that he couldn’t fight freely with Luna in his arms, and no matter how fast he ran, he wouldn’t be able to reach the shatter devourer before the demon caught up to him, unless he could slow them down…..
’Wait!’
Suddenly an idea flashed into his mind, and he grinned.
He lifted Luna in a princess carry, avoiding the part of his right hand that was still being torn apart by the residual Shatter Devourer that was left on his arm.
Yes, there was still some part left of the shatter devourer on his right arm, breaking and tearing his skin, only for it to be healed again.
But he felt that it would go out the moment he touched the source of all this - The mass of energy - Shatter devourer.
As for the pain?
Well, his adaptability was an all-time high as the supreme human bloodline gave him that boost.
That adaptability also included pain adaptability.
So, after the first injury, his pain receptors were able to take that much pain.
It was pretty broken since he could adapt in battle as well, he would get boosts the longer he fought, but it was not too broken because the boosts would soon go down.
They would vanish as soon as he came out of this battle.
But that was not the main point, the main point was that after he lifted Luna up in a princess carry, he threw her to the left.
Yes, he tossed her away!
Luna, who was still asleep, opened her eyes in panic and she found herself hurtling through the air.
The demons frowned as they turned to look at Luna…
But before they could focus on Luna, a blood arrow pierced her head, passing from the other side.
"It’s an illusion."
Valerius muttered with a frown as the body of Luna broke into particles and disappeared, but those words caused the other to grit their teeth.
"Does he think that we will fall for that?!"
Morvan was a bit angry about the fact that their opponent was thinking so lowly of them, but when her eyes turned toward Alex again, she grew confused, just like the other demons.
"Where is the girl…?"
Malak questioned with a frown.
But it was not just his question, it was a question all of them had in mind.
"It was a distraction…"
Valerius muttered as he stared at Alex’s back, but then they all saw him glancing back at them with a smug smile.
"Heh…"
The mocking grin on Alex’s face just made their anger sore higher.
’First, he underestimates us, thinking that we would fall for a mere illusion, then he mocks us?!’
That’s what all of them were thinking, and their faces turned dark.
Nyx, who always had bright and happy light in his eyes, now had the same dark light that was shown before. Experience exclusive tales on NovelBin.Côm
"I want to torture him…."
But before he could complete his words, Valerius glared at him with his blood-red eyes.
"Try it."
He just said two words with no emotion apparent on his face, but Nyx’s whole body shivered before his eyes turned back to normal, bright, and happy.
"Just kidding, teehee~"
Nyx hurriedly made a cute expression with his tongue sticking out of his mouth and uttered with a smile.
Morvan and Malak shook their heads at Nyx’s behavior, but Valerius just turned his back to Alex.
He frowned a bit as he crossed a certain point, but his face again turned solemn as he looked at Alex.
"We need to speed up, or he might reach that thing…"
Valerius muttered as he stared at Alex’s back.
He didn’t see where the girl was hidden, but he knew that he couldn’t let Alex reach shatter devourer.
So, he stopped thinking about the girl and increased his speed.
The other three were the same.
All of them could feel the danger emanating from the shatter devourer.
If the destruction energy made them frown, then this one made them take a step back in fright.
Destruction was something they knew that they could face.
The most they’d lose was a hand or a leg, and for demons like them, it was no big deal.
The shatter devourer, however, gave them the feeling of dread.
It felt like just touching that mass-energy would be life-threatening.
And that fact shook them to the core.
They - the four demon generals, the people on the top of the food chain - felt threatened.
It would shock the whole world if this word got out.
But they knew that Alex was an anomaly, it was clear the moment they felt his powers.
So, right now, they only had one thing they wanted to do - Kill/ Suppress Alex.
And, of course, they were fully committed to it.
