Chapter 986 Monstrous Fight

Annoyed with the way the situation was developing, the transformed Abyss creature let out an angry roar as it seemed to be talking to itself.

"Give me more power! Let's rid this planet of all that threatens us!"

For a moment, there was no reaction as if his words had fallen into empty air. But soon enough, the awaited response appeared. The golden orb in its chest let out a bright glow, and immedaitely a powerful spirit energy diffused out of the creature's body as it seemed to be transforming once again.

The insect part on its human back started to take over, moving into the human form. Commander Raynor's face was split in half in the middle and replaced by a gruesome insectoid face with two large protruding black eyes and a pair of antennae on top.

Its two human arms swiftly turned into two large pincer-like blades, while the multiple scythes behind it rapidly became longer and bigger. With these transformations, the figure of Commander Raynor was no more as the Abyss creature had turned his body into a hideous humanoid spider.

With his Spirit Reading, Emery was able to tell that the battle power and spirit power of the Abyss creature had greatly increased. This caused him to frown in dismay because now he wasn't sure if he could handle it.

Fortunately, the spirit being that was still attached to the plant armor covering him went ahead and whispered to him an important fact. "That thing still hasn't fully fused with mother, more precisely, it can't."

Emery was about to heave a sigh of relief when the voice of the spirit being sounded in his mind again. "Still, you have to defeat it before it grows even stronger.".

The abomination whose current appearance would definitely ignite a repulsive feeling, charged towards Emery at an even faster speed than before. It raised its pincer-like limbs while its murderous eyes fell on the one who thwarted its plans.

Knowing that a direct clash this time could injure him if he wasn't careful, Emery quickly raised his open palm towards the approaching Abyss creature. A hazy circle filled with complex runes revolved around his hand, before from within appeared a bunch of familiar-looking green spheres.

[Seed Bomb]

The green spheres hit the Abyss creature and blasted with almost twice its original power, shaking the ground with its explosion. Many holes were made, while dirt and dust scattered into the air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM–!

Strong gusts of wind swept in all directions as the explosion created by the dark green spheres was powerful enough to stop the Abyss creature in its path and even make it stagger backwards. However, even though the Abyss creature was clearly hurt and slowed down, it was not enough to stop it completely.

As Emery stood just a few meters in front of the survivors, before the creature got close, he dashed in closer to it.

Right as they clashed, Emery cast [Blink], instantly teleporting the two of them right near the metal wall.

BAMM!!! The clash hit the wall and broke it and made Emery throw up blood.

Emery blinked away one more time, while still in disbelief that his 600 battle power couldn't hold against it. If Emery doesn't have the plant armor protecting him, he might have already turned into a pulp.

To hold the creatures down, Emery cast [Jade root] and [Jade wall] however it could only slow it down for just a split second before it broke away and quickly enclosed him right away.

The abyss creature's killing intent soared as it swung its deadly arm at him, and in order to block such an attack, Emery knew that he couldn't use ordinary means anymore unless he wanted to lose a part of his body. Hence he quickly cast the strongest spell for a moment like this.

[Aegis of Void]

BAM! BAM! BAM–!

Small distortions of space appeared and gathered in front of Emery's body into a layer of dark mass, acting as a barrier that stopped any attacks the Abyss creature made.

Crack! Crack!

While it was bombarding him with its arms that could easily tore his body apart, Emery swiftly shot backwards. He wanted to free himself from the Abyss creature because he knew his spell wouldn't last long under such an onslaught, since he couldn't use it effectively yet.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

He really couldn't keep up the high tier space magic anymore, hence he cast [Ash blast] a spell that was strong enough to stagger and threw the monster a dozen meters as he quickly casted

[Slipstream] onto his feet to give him more speed, something barely enough to keep his distance from the creature. its enemy flee, the Abyss creature roared furiously once more before shouting, "You dare to run?! Fight me!!"

Without further ado, it stomped the ground and shot forward, chasing at breakneck speed. At the same time, its scythe-like arms rapidly moved through the air, leaving numerous afterimages as it relentlessly struck Emery.

While running, Emery thought of various ways to kill the creature, unfortunately he knew his tier 5 sword would not be enough, he needed a spell that was more powerful than [Seed Bomb] or [Ash blast]. Something that could obliterate the creature with one hit, thus giving it no chance to recover.

Emery put both of his hands together and channeled his spirit energy towards them, converging into one single point.

He applied the same theory that the spell [Dark Matter] was based on; but this time, with his newly improved and synergized dual core, he found that he was capable of combining both the nature and darkness element into the initial process of [Dark Matter] spell–the build-up phase.

It took an awful amount of spirit energy to harness both elements into one, fortunately the spirit being was there to back him up.

Green and dark energy converged between Emery's palms, achieving a true balance of the two elements. Coupled with the help of his Dao Divine Technique, the two opposing energies managed to mingle with one another–negative and positive into one powerful matter.

[Dao Matter]

Once he felt the spell was ready, Emery immediately came to a halt. He quickly tilted his body to the side, avoiding the scythe that was about to cut his right arm at a hair's breadth, before pushing the glowing dark-green matter in his hand into the Abyss creature's chest.

Time seemed to slow down, as the matter slowly made its way to the Abyss creature.

…

…

…

KABOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Despite the plant armor that had tremendously enhanced his battle power, the explosion still managed to send Emery's body several meters away. He was also forced to cover his face due to the violent gusts of wind it generated.

The ability to see for a moment became completely non-existent as a huge cloud of smoke appeared due to the explosion. It took a while before the smoke finally dispersed and Emery could see the results of his spell.

Much to his surprise, the Abyss creature was still standing even though part of its chest – a third of its massive body – was missing and the rest of it was torn apart. The golden orb, however, was still intact without a single scratch, as if the previous explosion had never occurred.

Shrrriieeekkkk—

[Rebirth]

Once again, the Abyss creature used its life-saving ability. It stared at Emery smugly as the parts of his body he had lost began to grow back in a matter of seconds.

"Hahaha… you… cannot defeat me… I am. Invincible."

Seeing this, Emery heaved a sigh.

Having integrated and communicated with the spirit being for a while now, Emery knew that the true power of the Primordial Wisp that the Abyss creature possessed was its almost endless energy.

Coupled with its extraordinary proficiency in the Light element and the Law of Life, the Abyss creature – theoretically – would never die as long as Primordial Wisp was with it. It's no wonder that a group of veteran magus enforcers fell under its hands.

However, Emery had the perfect ability – the solution to fight such an abomination.

He only hesitated to use it because he was worried about the harm it might do him afterwards, but now was not the time for him to be still hesitating.

Now that he had the spirit being's full support for what he was going to do, he finally had made up his mind.

While the Abyss creature was busy healing itself, Emery took advantage of it to make his preparations.

He calmed his racing heartbeat before activating his innate ability, starting with a loud howl that spread far in the air.

HOWLLL–!

In an instant, several sharp bones protruded out of his root-covered arm.

[Blade Claw]

And following it right after was the activation of the terrifying function of Emery's Fey Warlock innate skill.

[Spirit Devour]

A glint of determination flashed across Emery's eyes as he stared at the Abyss creature that had fully recovered.

"Let's finish this!"
