Chapter 353 - 354: Devour!
Vera’s whispers were like the murmurs of demons, filled with paranoid madness and a desire for destruction.
The Swarm King’s will was in turmoil, coupled with the negative emotions after devouring Demon Clan and Frost Serpent’s power...
These completely twisted Vera’s mind at this moment!
This brought out the deep possessiveness that was nurtured by Aster Grant’s gentle treatment deep within her heart...
To the extreme and directed it to the most extreme end!
And upon hearing Vera’s voice, Lazuli’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a towering rage surged in her heart.
Lazuli was never of a gentle character, nor did she prefer to back down as a Beastbond.
Previously, it was only out of consideration for Aster Grant that she tolerated Vera’s provocation.
But now...
Vera was manifesting blatant murderous intent towards her.
"Verdantsprite! You’re out of your mind... let me help you clear your mind!"
The Sword of Destruction in her hand suddenly flared up with scarlet Fire of Destruction, her body enveloped in golden Guardian Law.
In her first move, she gave it her all.
The current Vera was even more dangerous than the Frost Serpent and Totem Fiends combined!
Aster Grant’s expression also instantly darkened.
The situation he feared most had occurred.
The hidden hazard of the Swarm King’s will, under the stimulation of continuous devouring and intense battles, finally erupted completely!
"Celestial Grace!"
Golden light once again enveloped Vera.
Unfortunately...
This time, Celestial Grace had no effect whatsoever.
The golden radiance was entirely blocked by the power of the Swarm King covering Vera’s body.
Upon seeing this, Aster Grant furrowed his brows.
Trouble!
If he couldn’t use Celestial Grace to awaken Vera’s will, he would have to rely on Lazuli to stop Vera.
Only...
He glanced at the Vera emanating Swarm King power, then at the ready-for-battle Lazuli.
Aster Grant felt uncertain!
But if the two of them really started fighting, there would definitely be casualties.
Thinking of this, Aster Grant decisively spoke.
"Vera, look at me, stop!"
He attempted to command Vera to stop with words.
However, Vera at that moment seemed completely immersed in the frantic obsession of "clearing all obstacles, possessing the master."
She seemed oblivious to Aster Grant’s words, her blood-red eyes fixated solely on Lazuli.
The Void Power around her began to condense and boil with unprecedented intensity!
"I’ll kill you... kill you, and the master will be mine!"
Accompanied by this whisper, Vera’s figure suddenly blurred.
The next moment, she appeared like a phantom beside Lazuli, hands in a phantom embrace.
An energy ball condensed from chaotic Void Power and Devouring Attribute fiercely hurled towards Lazuli!
Upon witnessing this, the prepared Lazuli was fearless.
The Destruction Giant Sword slashed upwards, scarlet-golden sword light colliding with the dark red energy ball with a thunderous roar!
BOOM—!!!
A terrifying explosion far surpassing before erupted over the Kratosium!
The energy shockwave spread like a tsunami in all directions, lowering the ground by several meters again!
Even those watching from afar like Zane Drake and the remaining camp members had to retreat, activating their powers to resist, their faces etched with astonishment!
"Why... why are they fighting each other?!"
"That Elf seems out of control! She wants to kill that Angel!"
"My god... the power... it’s even more terrifying than when they dealt with the Frost Serpent earlier!"
"It’s over... this time it’s really over..."
Under the gaze of the terrified crowd, the sky turned into a battlefield of two terrifying powers in conflict.
The scarlet-golden Destruction sword light and dark red Void swallowing torrents constantly collided, intertwined, and obliterated!
Every clash caused the heavens to change color, the space to quake!
Lazuli used the Destruction and Guardian Law to the limit, combining offense and defense.
While Vera’s Swarm King’s power was bizarre and tricky.
For a time, the battle between them became a deadlock!
The entire Kratosium became their battlefield, leaving devastation wherever they went!
However, this stalemate didn’t last long.
In battle, Vera seemed to instinctively use the Swarm King’s Devouring Attribute.
The dark red energy emanating from her body unconsciously began to consume the remaining Frost Serpent flesh, Demonic Qi on the battlefield.
Some Low Tier Vicious Beasts and Demon Clan members too close and unable to escape were instantly engulfed and devoured!
With each bit of energy devoured, the blood red in her eyes intensified, and her aura grew increasingly violent and chaotic!
"Not enough... still not enough! Power... I need more power!"
Vera let out a mad roar, her rationality being entirely drowned out by the devouring instinct.
As long as her power was enough to crush everything, the master would be hers!
She had to become stronger!
Stronger!
Suddenly, she took a hard hit from Lazuli’s heavy sword, using the force to fly back.
Her blood-red eyes abruptly turned towards the Kratosium’s edge, those frightened Vicious Beasts and remnants of the Demon Clan!
"Devour... devour them all!!"
"As long as I devour them... I can become stronger!"
She emitted a chilling scream, her whole body transforming into a massive, ever-expanding dark red vortex.
Endless dark red vines emerged from The Void, rushing toward those Vicious Beasts and Demon Clan who were already scared out of their wits!
"No! Run!!"
"Demon! She is a demon!!"
"Lord, save us!"
Cries and wails instantly filled the heavens!
But it was all in vain.
Before the uncontrollable, power-surging Vera, these remnants, at most Half-Step Totem level, had no resistance at all.
They were like ants, swallowed and disintegrated in droves, transformed into purest energy, absorbed into Vera’s body!
"Vera! Stop!"
Feeling Vera’s actions, Aster Grant and Lazuli simultaneously shouted, trying to stop her.
This reckless absorption of energy had no benefits for Vera’s body.
Furthermore.
With the Vicious Beasts and Demon Clan consumed, Vera’s gaze had even turned towards...
The nearby Human Race!
"Lazuli, stop her!"
Receiving Aster Grant’s command, Lazuli immediately unleashed her full power, attempting to stop Vera.
Only...
The ability Vera was using now contained the existence of The Void.
Her speed was far beyond what Lazuli could match!
Within just a few breaths, the edge of the Kratosium was empty!
Aside from Lazuli blocking in front of the Human Race, allowing them to survive...
All the lingering Vicious Beasts and Demon Clan were completely devoured by Vera!
And having devoured such vast energy, Vera hovered in mid-air, her aura explosively soaring like a bomb!
A dark red beam of energy shot up from her body, stirring the storm clouds.
The pressure she emitted even once surpassed the combined forces of the Frost Serpent and Demon Clan!
At this moment.
Vera slowly turned her head, those bloodshot and madness-occupied eyes once again locked onto Lazuli, and Aster Grant behind her.
Her mouth curled into the most twisted of smiles.
"Now... it’s your turn..."
"As long as I devour you... I can be... forever with the master..."
