Chapter 294: Ravenous and Vile [1]

“Arghhh! It hurts!!! Drats how is my regeneration so slow? It didn’t have a problem for a while back,” Upon escaping her close encounter with death at the hands of her foe Hye Ri groans in pain at her missing limb

“That’s the same solution you’ve done unto me! Huh, I didn’t think you’d dodge that…? Quit running away. There’s no escape,” Although Kyo Min-soo’s steps were silent his foe had yet again escaped from his grasp with the use of her trickery

’Void walk? I’ve seen dark attribute monsters display this skill. It’s a weak variant of the boss’s Omnipresence but it sure is annoying. Too bad the range and duration are something I’m deeply familiar with and knowing your fighting style it’s apparent. Considering she fights like a mage she’ll phase through the back so she could easily strike my weak point,’

His intuition was sharp but he didn’t predict a variable as a dummy in place of her target filled to the brim with its scent and aura. He unleashes a flurry of attack but causes no harm and he sustains an injury but due to his senses, he manages to evade. That poisonous pillar oozing from below would’ve pierced his abdomen luckily he escaped right in the nick of time

“Well, I’ll be damned… guess she thought I wouldn’t need her fullest before? What a cocky bimbo she is, you dare!!!” He sends a powerful swipe of his claws to his side which by sheer force alone creates a powerful slash imbued with his energy

Suddenly a shield materialized to absorb most of his attack weakening its force yet it never fully halted its advancement. “Bluargh!!! That’s impossible!? How- Kieek!”

Outfitted with tears from his attack Song Hye Ri couldn’t have foresaw such an occurrence to arise. Her analysis shows that his enemy had no information of her before the trials and yet he predicted her attack. Was it his ingenious battle prowess or his inhuman senses, these things were far off than anything else

’I don’t know why but my fight with her reminds me of my previous fight with Boss in our earlier days in the first trial. To be honest it’s quite embarrassing that not one of the Enigma members seems to win against him. The only exception was the Vice leader who’d end up with a tie in every bout they’ve made. But knowing that would I lose? Nah I’d win,’

Kyo Min-soo leaps with his signature footwork which builds up an incredible force propelling toward his foe. This pattern of his was the death of many but for this enemy, it was but a way for him to sever another head. That makes it two, the heads he’s yet to kill remain plenty but his attack wasn’t just a means of culling his enemy’s lifeline

“Ballistic impact!!!” Upon getting close to severing another head he contracts his muscles pushing his arm to his back and punching at full force

“There’s more where that came from- God damn it! Not again,” He sends forth a powerful downward kick but his movement becomes impaired as a pile of slime materializes

“Elastic goop,” The slime absorbed the full force of his attack whilst sending him flying with the same force he struck

’That was a close one… for a second I thought I would’ve died. That bastard suddenly acted differently as if he knew my attack? But that’s impossible, I don’t feel the same eerie feeling when I face that scythe-wielding wench. This guy… it felt like he comprehended my movement at the slightest detail, but the only person whom I ever copied-’

Suddenly it struck a nerve in her mind and she cackled quite indifferently as Kyo’s depiction of her became a psycho. “It all makes sense now… this fighting style I adjusted myself from this movement due to my current state. Yet you know?”

Kyo maintained his distance upon noticing the hysterical cackling of his foe where he expected his unbecoming remains close. This foe of his was cool-headed and never once did her ego affect her actions so felt oddly skeptical. She smiles in front of him all bizarre and silent till she opens her mouth to ask for question

“You… aren’t you the Little juggernaut? That half beast half human hybrid of Enigma? It all makes sense!!!” He never once answered the question but his momentary shiver was all that she needed to confirm her suspicion

“Hehehehehehe… no wonder… no wonder my blood boils when I face you!? I smell the blood of that hound!!!”

’The hell is wrong with this bimbo? She’s acting more and more wack compared to the mercenary queen. And that’s saying something, that sly old vixen once snuck into boss’s room bare-naked,’

“Our suspicions were right… the Little juggernaut of Enigma… you! You are the remnants of the Wolf!!!”

Kyo Min-soo couldn’t help but bare his fangs unknowingly at the sudden mention as if he instinctively met a foe. This reaction of his made it clear that his body bore hatred, anguish, and thirst for the death of the one before him. His mind was suddenly filled with a dormant bloodthirst but before it could take control he escaped the trance upon feeling an immense pressure

“Whoa- That nearly killed me! Damn it, get your head together Kyo Min-soo! Now’s not the time to act up!!!” Unbeknownst to him he suddenly found himself in the domain oozing with the aura of his foe along with a stronger force

’This feeling… Now I remember! Back in the second trial, Boss wanted us to feel the insides of a blessing. He taught us of the two functions outside of manifestation, one being application, and the other materialization. Application is the blessing granting the wielder powers of their god, materialization is to affect the surroundings. The strongest authority is manifestation which can apply the power both on the wielder and their surroundings,’

His surroundings were all red, and the terrain was that of a giant sphere made of flesh and bountiful eggs within his reach. With every egg, he heard the beating, the cries they’d yet to make, and unopened eyes glaring at his existence. Although he prepared for the worst he didn’t feel a power concentrated through a single point which made him sigh

“Dear mother… Please grant me security in your womb. Bring forth your children in aid of languishing thy oppressor!!!” The voice grew louder yet he couldn’t pinpoint her spot then he felt the agitation of the eggs and it’s rising vibration

“I fucking jinxed myself, didn’t I?”

“Materialization… Mother of all monsters, Echidna answer my summon and awaken your children. Nest of monstrosity!!!” The crackling noise wouldn’t stop and eggs quickly rose from humble sprouts to adults within the limited time

Ancient Greece was a time when it was said the gods and monsters were active compared to any other time. The time when Zeus would fuck any girl he fancies, where heroes rise and forged the impossible and along with that monsters. Existences that are weaker to gods and yet they bear the animosity of the world and yet some worship them as deities

“The monster Echidna said to be the mother of all monsters… for she started it all with Typhon. I’ll offer you as a sacrifice-”

“Yeesh! Did she bear those fucking freaks? Let me guess, Ancient Greece didn’t catch wind of the wonders of abortion-”

In the middle of his remark, the monster blindly charges as they hear the mockery of the mother they love and worship. Their rage drowned them to attack and even within the range of Song Hye Ri’s blessing, they refuted. The anger boiling their very existence his words stabbing their hearts with the very mention of their origin

“What’s wrong can’t catch me? You guys are so slow. I know you ain’t blessed with looks but are you that pathetic?” He taunted the monsters and every time he did the authority to control these fledglings was much less nonexistent

“No, no, no, no!!! I order you to stop! I said stop!! Why aren’t you listening? I told you to stop, you ugly freaks!!!” Having her blow her fuse was what he yearned for all along as the monsters that heard her voice disappeared from within her sight

[System: Due to the dissatisfaction of the monsters they no longer desire to serve you at the moment]

“Kehahahahahah!!!” Kyo couldn’t help but laugh as the blessing she had so painfully assembled fell by a mere blunder of her choice of words

“Man, you just had to dig your own grave… too bad I’ve studied know-how in calling for summons. Seeing as they aren’t tied with you all I had to do was tick you off to let them go their separate ways,”

Her accumulated energy was mostly in preparing that blessing and at the end of his laughter he says. “Let’s continue where we left off, shall we? How about it? Are ya ready to die? Cuz I’m sure hella hype in killing you!!!”
