Chapter 121: Titanoboa Spirit's First Fight - 2

Just as the beast got close enough, Asher leapt off the branch, landing on another nearby tree.

Immediately, the tree trunk was shattered into pieces by the impact of the giant creature colliding against it. Even though the tree was gigantic, it couldn't withstand the immense power of the Star Beast's attack.

The crocodile continued charging forward, destroying everything in its path. It seemed intent on hunting down Asher as it roared angrily at him.

Asher made quick calculations in his head, deciding on a plan of action to take down the beast.

If his calculation was correct, this beast should have very thick scales and skin. So, slashing its hide would require more effort than usual, and his tendrils wouldn't work on this big of a target either.

Therefore, his Abyssal Grasp wouldn't do much damage either. He needed something else, something capable of piercing through thick layers of tough defense.

At that moment, he remembered that he hadn't used his Spirit in the battle at all yet. Asher took a deep breath before focusing his mental energy to connect to the Spirit that was sleeping in his Dantian.

The Spirit answered his call almost immediately, as a strong surge of energy filled Asher's entire being.

A powerful surge of energy flowed through Asher's veins, sending goosebumps down his arms as his consciousness expanded.

He felt the familiar sensation of being connected to an external entity that was part of him. It was like having an additional limb that he could use to move and interact with the world around him.

The surrounding area suddenly became filled with an eerie, dark aura as shadows danced in the darkness, giving off a feeling of dread and foreboding. The air around him started to swirl rapidly as a large, shadowy figure began to take form.

Roar...!!!

The monster let out a painful cry as it attempted to shake off the Spirit clinging to it. But its efforts proved futile, as it couldn't break free from its tight hold. As the Spirit drained its life energy, it grew weaker by the minute until its movements gradually slowed down to a crawl.

The Titanoboa Spirit's appetite seemed endless as it swallowed every bit of the crocodile's spirit essence without hesitation.

Feeling the intense sensation of the danger to its life, the crocodile beast's survival instincts awakened as it started manipulating swamp water, forming an array of water spheres. The water orbs fired out one after another toward the serpent coiled around it.

Each attack aimed at vital parts of the giant snake's body, hoping to deal lethal blows to them. However, the serpent didn't seem too bothered by them, as they struck its body and passed right through without causing any harm.

The spirit simply ignored the barrage of attacks and continued feasting on the giant creature as it struggled helplessly in its grasp.

"It can partially phase its body in shadow? Amazing! This is the first time I've seen it in action. This ability is incredibly convenient, as it seems almost invulnerable, given its high endurance and phasing skills." Asher marveled at his Spirit's performance as he observed from afar.

Soon, the crocodile's struggles subsided as it slowly succumbed to its fate as prey. Eventually, the Spirit finished draining the monster of all its spirit energy, ending the fight, and soon the crocodile's massive corpse floated lifeless in the murky swamp.

The serpent finally loosened its grip around the crocodile's carcass and uncoiled itself from its body. It slithered around lazily on the surface of the water before it glanced up at Asher as if awaiting orders from its master.

Asher understood its intentions and nodded at it before it dissolved into shadows that seeped into his body once again.

Once the Spirit returned to his Dantian, Asher took a deep breath and felt the Spirit's power flowing through his veins. He could feel that its strength had grown considerably from absorbing such a huge amount of spirit energy at once.
