Chapter 635 Every Bite Is Precious
Hovering in the sky as a thundercloud was Geugeu, amassing strength all along. Due to the Death Hour, walls of turbulent mist wafted out of the Dralh Sea and reached the skies.
This formed a large enough foundation for Geugeu to draw in power, for lightning flashed and thunder roared through these walls due to a continued buildup of kinetic energy. "Faster! You old fuck! Faster!"
He roared with an admonishing tone every time he witnessed the death of his Deities. Unfortunately for him, his usual lightning strikes were no longer potent enough to wound the body of the Celestial Boar.
Even the Empyrean Snappers were only able to harm him by combining their strength. And despite that, all they managed to do was harm his body, which he could recover from when given a few minutes of respite.
But their side already faced ten deaths. From an original number of 52 Empyrean Snappers, they were already down to 42. And the longer this goes on, the worse their situation becomes as they'll have fewer Empyrean Snappers to join hands with.
Moreover, they were only able to gain a significant advantage thanks to the Death Hour. If they fail to capitalise on it and Brangara survives, they'll be doomed. The Cold Shower following the Death Hour wouldn't give them enough advantage as now.
And once it too passes, the Empyrean Snappers would have to resort to usual attacks, which didn't work well against him even before. Now that he was using two Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination, they would become useless.
Therefore, Geugeu had one shot, which he had to time perfectly and launch upon Brangara, 'Faster! Faster! Dammit! Faster!'
The lightning currents arching through his thundercloud increased in number as he drew in from his surroundings. Every single lightning bolt that flickered past his Spirit Weapon range was pulled into his thundercloud by the opposing charges, adding to his reserves.
His body—that was in its Spirit Weapon form—began to sustain damage as the amount of lightning surpassed his ability to handle it. Geugeu didn't mind it, only praying to live long enough until he could discharge everything, 'I was a failure as the Cooter Clan Chief!'
He glared at Brangara, 'I was unable to accustom the Cooter Clan to these changing times. While every force is rapidly building up strength, our progress has been at the same snail's pace as in the past.'
"At least, I'll do one good deed before my worthless death!" He roared as the thundercloud began to expand rapidly once he made Brangara the target. The Prana he had spread throughout it would ensure the unleashed lightning bolt would strike the target, even if he were to die before that.
'This guy...!' Brangara was prepared to die once when he noticed Geugeu's actions, 'He's building up an ultimate attack too. Dammit!'
"Let it all be damned then." He grunted upon seeing three plasma beams slam into him, rapidly melting through his body. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
The lightning paralysed them as Brangara clenched his hand into a fist, condensing the three plasma orbs to form a 360-
metre-long sword. With a nudge from his feet, his figure rapidly bolted through the water, propelled by Subtle Terrain Domination.
His figure flashed past an Empyrean Snapper and swung the plasma sword, making a clean beheading. From that point, the fight took a mere two minutes to conclude, "Yum!"
"This taste is worth dying for!" Brangara used Bloody Affection to pull—by tugging the blood in their bodies—the Empyrean Snapper corpses closer to him and used Subtle Terrain Domination to compress them as much as possible with his current prowess.
All the Tangible Natures of Razor Rats, Shifting Ants, and Bludders condensed next to his body. As they were tiny, they could easily climb over his body and take a seat on his shoulder.
Since they were within his Spirit Weapon range, he could continue supplying Prana to them, preventing them from dissipating. And when necessary, he could take them back into the Astral World—if a slot opened—and continue using their powers until he deactivates them.
One after another, he consumed Empyrean Snapper hearts, breaking into glee upon seeing the sheer number of Empyrean Snapper Tangible Natures that had appeared in his Astral World.
44 Empyrean Snapper Tangible Natures!
This was an unreal haul, an extent of power he never possessed until now. However, no matter how great his haul was, his heart ached tremendously, for he had activated eight Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination, "Dammit! I wanted to win without using them!"
"A loss of eight!" On one side, he relished the taste while consuming Empyrean Snapper hearts. But on the other side, he mourned wasting eight of these overpowered Natures.
"At least, I can make justice for them!" He sighed as he approached the sea bed and used the power of Subtle Terrain Domination to morph the bedrock to create a massive bowl, one that spanned a radius of twenty kilometres.
It took him less than two hours to finish this task, as the walls of the bowl were raised to a height of a hundred metres from the sea level. The water inside was red as Brangara had brought all the corpses of the Empyrean Snappers inside.
That wasn't all. To avoid any wastage, he used Bloody Affection to draw in every litre of Empyrean Snapper blood that had spilt in the region and poured them all inside the bowl. This way, he could take his time consuming them without worrying about wasting anything.
"Every bite is precious!" Brangara offered a short prayer before he began to gorge on the Empyrean Snapper flesh!
