Chapter 1852: Strange Happenings



Drake's slimes were eyeing some ruckus going on in the train, a bunch of people were screaming while trying to run away, only to be surrounded by several cactus roots with sharp spikes and beautiful red and pink flowers growing out of them.

All passage areas had been blocked already, and the windows were rapidly being covered by these cactus roots everywhere. The culprit? A tall, slender woman with green skin, spikes over her several areas of her body, and a big orange flower over her head.

Before, she was only wearing a brown poncho covering her body, and she seemed to carry two huge guns with double loads, capable of blasting most brains into smithereens.

However, she preferred a different approach for her victims, as she possessed an impressive Esper Ability that combined amazingly well with her own half-cactus body.

"What the hell is that..."

Drake was surprised, if not annoyed at that bitch doing this, she was giggling a lot too, enjoying the people growing increasingly more desperate. The worst part was that there were elder, kids, and adults here, most of them seemed to not even be participants.

"P-Please spare us!"

"We aren't going to participate in the race!"

"Why target us?!"

As they desperately pleaded for mercy, the half-cactus woman couldn't stop laughing out loud.

"Heheh... Hahahahah! You're all so funnyyyy!" she laughed. "Did you think that something like that mattered, heeeh? Dummies! You're all nice nutrients for my roots! I'm so hungry right now, so just shut up and get inside my belly!"

Suddenly, from her endless needle-covered roots, giant jaws made out of plant matter emerged, full of sharp teeth-like needle spikes that cactuses had, and drooling a sweet, scented liquid.

"Y-You fucking freak!"

As she was about to devour some people, suddenly, a group of three participants of the race appeared, pointing their guns at the woman and her roots, firing dozens of bullets to blow her to shreds.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The bullets pierced through her body, leaving her with many holes, while her roots were also destroyed rapidly, being blasted into smithereens.

"Eheheehh! You're so funnyyyyy!"

However, despite having been fatally wounded according to any normal person, the holes in her head and body meant little to her.

Her Esper Ability activated again, mending together all her holes and strengthening her defenses even more, the racers were shocked, as their bodies were suddenly impaled by sharp spikes.

Drake only watched and didn't help them, they were probably outlaws of their own, and less competition also benefited him in the long run...

However, when they attacked defenseless, people, that's when he jumped.

His little slime form, a fragment of his own power, quickly transformed, using his Fire Dragon Transformation this time, even though he had merged it into Orochi's Skill, he could still use it separately.

Blood started coming out in between the roots and vines wrapped around Drake, as the

woman was sure now that he must be dead.

"Ahhh! You're so big! I'm going to eat you up!"

Her roots began to secrete a digestive acid, attempting to digest Drake while she had "killed"

him.

Except that...

FLUOSH!

"Uuurrgh?!"

Flames erupted from Drake's heart, as his body was being crushed, he released them all, constantly burning himself to burn the cactus woman even more.

"You think you can fucking eat me?! BURN TO CINDERS!"

RUMBLE!

Releasing all the power he had inherited from Surtr, Drake honored his disciple as he unleashed an infernal blast of flames, without having to worry about people around them, a

giant tower of fire surged into the skies.

The flames were so intense they easily pierced through the cactus woman's entire body,

burning her and making her explode into cinders.

"W-Wait...! Wait a second...! I was so hungryyyyy...!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Her entire body exploded, leaving ashes behind which fell from the skies, Drake slowly regenerated this Doppelganger's body back to normal, feeling accomplished.

"Well, that's one trash out of the way... Huh?"

However, the plant woman had indeed left something behind, a green colored orb glowing

with Psychic Energy.

It was a small, green colored pearl no bigger than a pinky finger of a human, which was the

crystallization of her Psychic Energies.

"She had a core inside?"
