Chapter 176: Spit That Out!

Kendrick pulled off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt before rolling up his sleeves.

It was a real pity, but this seemed like the kind of fight where he would have to get his hands dirty.

He blew a breath of cold air from his lungs and consistently dropped the temperature until it was freezing.

Because the nightmare did not know what he was doing, it missed its opportunity to escape and was encased within a wall of ice that was several feet thick.

Not wasting a moment to rest, he turned his gaze toward the sky or more specifically the burning ball of fire within it.

His eyes furrowed from discomfort as he tried to pull off this task of monumental difficulty.

As he concentrated, the ice surrounding the creature started to crack and fall away.

BOOM!

Just as the creature broke free of it's confines, A beam of pure ultraviolet radiation flew down from the sky and landed atop it's head.

A wave of fire rippled outward from the site of the explosion that seemed determined to char the entire island alive.

To prevent that, Kendrick halted the flames and turned them into millions of fiery javelins.

Leaping up into the air, he sprouted a pair of dark wings from his back and hovered as he waited to see what had become of his adversary.

As he feared, when the last of the smoke cleared away; the nightmare was still standing tall.

To make matters worse, it's four snakelike tails were glowing with a kind of energy that he recognized all too clearly.

Ultraviolet radiation.

The four mouths on it's tails opened up as wide as possible, and fired off individual beams of destructive energy that were several times hotter and more destructive than what Kendrick had thrown out.

He tried to use his ability to turn the attack into a simple harmless ray of light that would only blind him at most.

However, he let out a cry of indignation when he realized that he was unable to do so.

Whatever the creature had done to this energy... it had mutated it in a way that he was not familiar with, rendering all of his power moot.

However, the creature did not even seem to be remotely phased by the fact that it was suddenly filled with holes.

It simply plucked them out one by one or waited for them to die down on their own without much thought.

With no more distractions, the creature reached down and ripped out the black wings of his enemy; waking him up in the most painful way imaginable.

"AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!"

The creature casually tossed the wings over his shoulders and focused on the actual meat on it's prey.

It focused it's attention on an arm, and yanked until it was ripped free of flesh, bone, and sinew.

Another sad chorus of screams erupted from the mouth of Kendrick as the nightmare brought his loose arm up to his mouth.

Opening wide, it immediately started to chew flesh off the bone and swallow.

Immediately, the creature felt like it was becoming awash with new power and it's tails went into a small frenzy.

Palpable excitement filled the air as the creature finished the arm in no time, and was ready for another piece to feast on.

No longer wanting to be peckish with it's meal, it grabbed Kendrick by his head and held him in the air.

It opened it's mouth wide as if it were about to swallow the blessed's entire head when unfamiliar noises cut through it's meal.

"Brother!"

"Stop it, put him down!"

"If you eat him I am never going to kiss you again!"

"Alright, I know we're trying to calm him down but let's be for real with ourselves here..."

"""BIANCA!"""

"Right, right, sorry."

The nightmare looked over it's shoulder and found four women running at him recklessly.

Three of them looked rather harmless and he did not want to eat them, but the one with grey hair... she looked absolutely delicious.
