Chapter 230: Devour

.......

|You can't believe how awesome I am, can you!? Hehe~ I know, you're welcome~!| Boundless chimed in with her cute nose pointed upward!

"..." Azmond ignored the cheerful yet conceited voice of Boundless as he focused his attention on the two 'vacant' corpses.

Bzzzt!

His katana began to vibrate a little, clearly trying to tell him what it wanted so badly!

And Azmond wasn't one to deny the whims of his Emu...

"Devour."

He gave the go-ahead as Emu morphed into a slime form and grew disproportionately; its size inflated up to a massive three hundred fifty thousand meters!

CHOMP!

It devoured every atom of the blue-furred Bigfoot before moving its 'mouth' over to the pink-furred Bigfoot.

Both corpses were consumed just like that!

WAAA!!

A sudden surge of power flared outward from Azmond, as he looked like nothing short of a Super Saiyan about to go into God mode!

"Well damn. This is quite the power-up."

The amount of power he felt coursing through his veins was countless times greater than it was just a few seconds ago!

'I ought to find more of these behemoths if this is how much strength they give every time one is absorbed'

His thoughts veered into a very dangerous direction before he took out Crystalline as well.

FWIP!

"Wha?" She was more than a little confused by what just happened.

One second, she was on Azmond, and the next second, she was floating a few feet away from him!

However, her queries didn't stay unanswered for long as a deep, raspy voice entered her ears.

"Don't worry about what just happened, My Dear. I simply transported you to my storage ring while I took out those Bigfoots~"

The things he got up to with his Ariana were far bolder than what the two youngsters were doing, and let's just say that the citizens of the City of RiverBloom have been through some things over the years.

But still!

He was envious of them!

Err... What Eldric meant to say was that he was appalled by their shamelessness! Yah, that was it!

(...)

Nonetheless, such nonsensical thoughts weren't long-lived, as he was soon brought out of his reverie by the youngster in question.

"Yo, old dude, you know where these monsters originated from? Or how about why they appeared in your city to begin with?"

"!?"

An inquisitive voice sounded out behind the Old City Lord as he turned around, only to see that the youngster had appeared behind him!

'How did he get behind me without my noticing!? Just what level of strength does he possess???'

Eldric wore an astonished look on his face before he realized the youngster had asked him a question, and it would be rude not to respond back!

Even though he was outclassed in strength, he still had to keep up his elder-like facade!

*Cough cough* "Why, of course, Junior... I have the information you inquire about," Eldric replied while stroking his beard with his eyebrows furrowed.

He took his antediluvian persona very seriously!

"???"

A puzzled expression emerged on Azmond's face as he began to ponder over the unusual actions taken by the old dude.

'Why is this old dude coughing? Is he sick or something? But how would a Half-Step Unity Form Synthesis Realm Cultivator become sick??'

The Old City Lord's antiquated persona didn't work a single bit!

"Haha" An awkward laugh was followed by a crooked smile forming on the City Lord's wrinkled face.

'This youngster is a tough nut to crack! But I will win him over soon enough!'

He wouldn't give up so easily! After all, he wasn't playing the fool for himself
