Chapter 607 Battle Against A False God (VII)

I was expecting the effect to proc but I have very low hope of it happening so I didn't really rely on that from happening. If it did happen, then fine but if it didn't, it's still fine as it's not that big of a problem.

However, since it was instant death, I was expecting it to be something that can drain every single HP bar of the boss if it ever gets proc by chance. Seeing that only one HP break bar disappeared after the skill procs, it means that the effect can only destroy one break bar. To continue reducing all of its HP, I need to have it proc twice to remove all two HP bars of the Tormentor. Since it happened so fast, the Tormentor skipped the 3rd phase, it seems the Tormentor is confused about what happened and instead of switching to a 4th phase, he transformed only once and that's it.

This time, the Tormentor's uninfected body started to erode and most of the flesh seems to have rotten. He looks like a giant zombie. The Scourge is slowly creeping into his pure body but had not fully covered it all I can guess that the Scourge will engulf the Tormentor once the last the current break bar has been reduced to zero.

Although the Tormentor now is much harder than the previous timeline's Tormentor, I am not going to just yield and give up. Not now that I have come this far.

Just like before, the Tormentor is not able to speak. I was surprised at this as this was not supposed to happen as the Tormentor was able to speak and curse at us from the beginning till the end. Having a Tormentor who lost the manner of speech pattern and mannerisms just made me a bit not used to it.

Now that it turned into almost a new creature. It started to attack once again and just like before, it is still using its tentacles. But this time, the Tormentor pukes out something on the ground and it landed there. It made a "splouch" sound and it smelled disgusting. It was like the combination of the rotten flesh of a dead animal, fish innards rotten for days and has been infested in maggots, and many other rotten smells that I can't explain. Perhaps this might be comparable to the nastiest-smelling flower Rafflesia or even the same smell though I don't know if it was indeed.

The matter that the Tormentor "puked" out started to wriggle out of those masses and soon enough, I realized what they are. No wonder they are like fleshy things moving because they are. They are wormlike creatures that are as big as my arm and as long as a normal ruler.

Seeing those move and wriggle their way toward my direction, I suddenly got the urge to back away in disgust. I am not a person who easily gets disgusted by something but even that has some kind of borderline and I also get disgusted.

,m Pulling out the Molotov Cocktails I have in my inventory, I started to throw them and spread the fire to the worm-like creatures. They are fast but just like the scourge, they don't like the flames. The moment they get exposed to flames, they immediately burst into flames and it was like they are easily burning to pieces.

I also throw a few flame-based attacks and if there are worm-like creatures able to escape from all of that, they get sliced to pieces by my sword covered in flames. It only took minutes before the worm-like creatures died. And with that, I returned to the rush to fight back against this f*cker.

But before I can even approach, all of its hands extended and rushed towards me, having the intention to pierce and impale me with them. I dodged them but as soon as I did, a new batch once more appeared and I have to dodge again. Because of this, I have no window to attack the main body. However, as I am getting closer to the boss, I also get a closer look at the Tormentor. At first, I didn't notice it since I am a bit in a distance but when I managed to get a closer look, I soon realized that something is new on the body of the Tormentor and that is the eye that was previously placed underneath its arm.

The eye is no longer there in its previous placement as those arms have fully morphed into a tentacular form. It wasn't looking like an arm anymore but something a jellyfish or an octopus would have. Instead, the eye is now placed on a very vulnerable area and anyone can now see it as it is now revealed. It is located now in its chest and just like before, it only opens whenever the Tormentor is using the tentacular abilities.

I tried getting closer again to the Tormentor and this time the Paralysis that I inflicted acted up again and the Tormentor started to groan as it got stopped once more. I darted and went closer to the body of the Tormentor and since it would be pointless for me to climb up to the Tormentor's body, it was already a better idea to continue to the assault on its lower abdomen. I wouldn't climb it anymore as the Tormentor is now disgusting to hold especially with the disgusting scourge covering its body.

Igniting my sword to flames, I started hacking and slashing at the body of the boss. I stabbed it multiple times, activated skills, and continue doing so until the Paralysis effect disappeared and once more, the Tormentor started moving again. Using the bombs created from the blueprint plans of the Saboteur class, I dropped a lot of them on the boss's body. Because the Scourge is quite sticky, sticking the bombs is easy as one, two, and three.

The abdomen area started growing tentacles and tried to grab me and absorb me but I managed to dodge away before they can take me away I didn't forget to push the detonator's button and activate a beautiful explosion.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Repeated explosions shook the whole place and even the Tormentor didn't even get to prepare and endure that as the Tormentor falls down to the battlefield and its HP bar now sitting on the half bar. With the flames spreading around its body after the explosion, the HP bar slowly gets reduced as time goes by.

But then, another unexpected thing happened. All of a sudden, the huge body of the Tormentor slowly turned into a liquid state, everything from bones, flesh, heck, even the scourge turned into a liquid state, and soon enough, it became a pool of black liquid goo. The boss hasn't died just yet as the HP bar still remains and the name is still the same however, I am not sure why it turned into a liquid state.

I pulled out a scroll that activated a magic flame-based attack and teat it to two, casting it to the black goo.

FWOOOOMMMMM!

Flames engulfed the black goo and like oil catching in fire, it burns the HP of the boss slowly burns as the black goo slowly engulfed in flames. I didn't know what I am going to feel about this seeing the black goo. It was very anticlimactic that I am expecting a more dangerous version of the boss but it ended up being a big disappointment. I stood there, watching the black goo that was previously the Tormentor slowly get burned.

Soon enough, the 4th HP bar breaks and the last HP bar refills its HP to the brim again. The flames have stopped burning already and the black liquid goo has been reduced to a sorry state of some kind of black ball of an unknown item. It was like the product of the flames and the black goo itself.

When I was about to go take a closer look, it suddenly opened its eyes and stared at me, causing me to instinctively stab it after being surprised which immediately caused it to scream in pain despite its lack of mouth of it.

"Shadow Dragon of the Versatile Weapon, do you want to devour this thing?"

I wanted to see whether the Shadow Dragon that is eating almost anything would devour this thing without question but the reply that I got is a Shadow Dragon appearing on the side of the sword and shaking its little head before acting like puking. It was the first time for me to see the Versatile Weapon's shadow dragon that likes to eat all manner of crap to shake its head and avoid eating it. That only made the Scourge more disgusting than ever for even something that is very gluttonous and something I view as the embodiment of gluttony at times to say no speaks something to itself.

Since the Shadow Dragon refuses to eat it, then I decided to just try to test out the Pain Delivery once more. Reloading it up, I aimed it at the remains of the Tormentor. Perhaps its no longer the Tormentor as it got consumed by the Scourge itself but the thing I am currently piercing with the Versatile Sword is none other than the scourge itself. Therefore, perhaps it is time to see whether this will end everything to it.

"Hasta la vista!"

BANG!
