Chapter 352 - 353: Kill You... Then Master Will Be Mine!
In the next moment, Vera’s figure appeared ghostly in front of the Demon Clan member.
At this moment, Vera was like a different person from before.
Her eyes blazed with blood-red light, her delicate features slightly distorted by the fierce clash of two forces within her.
Dark purple, eerie lines seemed to squirm beneath her skin like living things.
"You... deserve death!"
She let out a shrill cry, unlike any human sound, and thrust her hands sharply towards the Demon Clan member.
Buzz—
A massive, continuously rotating dark vortex appeared out of nowhere.
The center of the vortex was deep as an abyss, exuding a heart-stopping suction force.
This was not merely the Power of Space...
It also contained the terrifying trait of The Swarm that devours all things to nourish itself!
"What the hell is this?"
The Demon Clan member let out a terrified shriek.
He felt his Life Force, Demonic Qi, and even his flesh and blood...
being forcibly torn away and pulled by the dark vortex!
He struggled to resist, but before that power, he was utterly powerless.
Chchch——!
His massive body and the surging Demonic Qi were like rivers merging into the sea, frantically devoured, decomposed, and absorbed by the dark vortex.
The Demon Clan member’s final screams were abruptly cut off and completely obliterated in the depths of the vortex.
The entire process was unbelievably fast, taking merely two or three breaths...
The existence of a Totem Third Tier Demon Clan member was erased completely by Vera in such an overwhelmingly domineering manner.
Once the devouring was complete, the dark vortex slowly shrank, finally turning into a strand of pure energy that merged into Vera’s body.
After completing this, Vera hovered in mid-air, slightly out of breath.
The giant vertical pupils of the Frost Serpent were now filled with dread.
It observed Vera, whose aura was unstable yet more dangerous.
Then it glanced at Lazuli, who stood with a sword, radiating murderous intent.
Lastly, it looked towards Aster Grant, whose expression remained calm, and a biting chill spread instantly across its hundreds of meters long body.
I will die!
This thought rushed into its mind at once.
And just as it anticipated, the instant this thought crossed its mind...
Vera’s blood-tinged eyes slowly shifted from the spot where the Demon Clan member had vanished, locking onto its body.
Its massive snake body, hundreds of meters long, suddenly tensed.
Under the gaze of those chaotic, devouring, and murder-filled eyes, it felt as if its very soul was trembling.
"Roar... humans! Perhaps this matter can be..."
A hint of retreat flashed in the Frost Serpent’s giant vertical pupil as it attempted to speak to ease the situation.
Confronting a monster capable of instantly killing a Totem Third Tier, it had already lost all will to fight.
The Divine Pattern was desirable, but one needed to survive to claim it!
However, before it could clearly convey its words, Vera moved again!
No sound, no warning, she vanished into thin air just like that.
The next moment, she appeared directly in front of the Frost Serpent’s massive head!
So close was the distance that the Frost Serpent could clearly see the tumultuous blood light in Vera’s eyes and the cold, twisted smirk at her lips.
"The Void... banishment!"
Vera raised a hand, pressing it towards the Frost Serpent’s enormous head.
Not direct devouring, but a more bizarre spatial technique!
The space around the Frost Serpent’s head instantly became extremely unstable, like a shattered mirror, producing countless fine cracks.
A powerful force intent on forcibly tearing its head into unknown spatial turbulence suddenly erupted!
Hiss roar—!
The Frost Serpent let out a terrified and painful hiss, frantically channeling the extreme cold source within, trying to stabilize the surrounding space.
The crackling ice crystals instantly covered the area around its head, fiercely countering the shattered space power, emitting a teeth-clenching grinding sound.
Although barely able to fend off instant banishment, the Frost Serpent paid a price.
The azure scales on its head shattered in large patches, oozing icy serpent blood, its aura significantly weakened.
With such a good opportunity, Lazuli naturally would not let it slip by.
Though shocked by Vera’s current state and attack methods, she knew that solving the enemy was most crucial now.
The crimson-gold Destruction Giant Sword condensed once again, transforming into a streak of light tearing through the world, slashing towards the vulnerability exposed by the Frost Serpent’s resistance to spatial banishment—
Its vital point, seven inches below the head, was mercilessly struck!
"No!!!"
Faced with ongoing spatial banishment and the lethal strike of the destruction light, the Frost Serpent was thrown into true despair!
It let out a desperate roar, gathering all its might to form the thickest Mystic Ice Armor around its body.
Yet, it was all too late!
Boom—!!!
The crimson-gold sword light first shattered the dense Mystic Ice, slicing deeply into the Frost Serpent’s vital point!
The Destruction Law wildly eroded its life force!
Almost simultaneously, Vera’s blood-lit eyes intensified, and with her other hand, she slammed down: "Devour!"
The previously banishment-inducing space rifts suddenly changed nature, transforming into a small devouring vortex, furiously extracting the life force and soul essence from the heavily damaged part of the Frost Serpent!
"Urgh—!"
Under the dual onslaught of destruction and devouring, the Frost Serpent’s massive body convulsed and twisted violently, its agonized howls resonating throughout the entire Kratosium.
Its life force surged forth like a breached dam, with its enormous body withering and wasting at an observable speed.
A few breaths later, the Frost Serpent’s massive head drooped lifelessly, the light in its vertical pupils completely extinguished, and its massive body crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar, sending clouds of dust billowing.
The Totem Third Tier Fierce Beast Dominator that once ruled a region met its demise!
The battle seemed to have ended.
Lazuli, slightly out of breath, stood with her sword, warily watching the dust-shrouded remains of the Frost Serpent, confirming its vitality was completely extinguished.
She breathed a sigh of relief, ready to step away.
However, just at that moment, an icy, viscous, malevolent gaze...
locked onto her like a tangible needle!
Lazuli whipped her head around to meet Vera’s blood-red eyes!
In those eyes, there was no trace of the usual aloofness, nor the camaraderie of fighting side by side, only an almost manic desire for possession and... murderous intent!
Vera hovered in the air, the chaotic Void Power and dark purple lines around her becoming active once more, even more turbulent than before.
She tilted her head, muttering in a bizarre, self-talk-like tone, her voice soft yet clear to Lazuli’s ears and Aster Grant’s perception below:
"The obstacles... have all been cleared..."
"The demon is dead... the serpent is dead too..."
"Next... I just need to..."
Her gaze bore into Lazuli, the twisted smirk on her lips growing distinct.
"I just need... to kill you..."
"Lazuli..."
"As long as I kill you... the master... will belong to me alone..."
"Yes... kill you... the master is mine alone... no one can come close anymore... no one can share..."
...
