33 Gorging Gian (1/2)

Returning to the desert, Nanling couldn't help but sigh. Literally, the only thing that the oasis had was the shallow lake. Besides the trees, there were no other lifeforms which confused her greatly. It was such a beautiful forest too, why were there no animals? Were they all blind or unable to appreciate beauty? Nature truly was too savage.

She at least wanted to roast a boar or two as she was starving for fresh meat or at least one to several fruits, after having subsisted on preserved fish and bread for months. However, none of the trees had any so she could only eat gra.s.s or leaves. f.u.c.k this desert, she thought as she angrily kicked the dune of sand. The particles then went along with the wind and some even got into her eyes which served to irritate her even more and sent her discontent to greater heights.

Grasping the uniquely gilded dwarven sword, he couldn't help but examine it. It was quite an exquisite blade as he had ascertained the strength to be comparable to swords exalted in legends and the very blade itself exuded an aura of danger. Of course, it was still trash compared to Dark Revelation but then again so were legendary weapons and even weapons wielded by G.o.ds could only contest.

Returning his focus to the embedded gem, he saw that the light pointed to the southwest. Turning to inform her of the direction, he stopped when he saw her caught in quicksand.

”...”

He looked away for less than a minute and she was already in mortal danger. How did she even survive in the desert for as long as she did?

Noticing his bewildered gaze, the complexion on her cheeks reddened slightly. She then waved her blade underneath the quicksand and caused a small explosion. Leaping out of the sand pit, she tried to appear composed by dusting off her blue robes which were slightly tattered from being worn too often. Seeing that Atlas remained bewildered, she grinned and proudly proclaimed, ”Unlike other women, I am not helpless. Why wait for a male lead?”

”Even if you were a female lead, you shouldn't be in that situation to begin with. How could the average male lead fight nature, when they already have been beaten into hiding by their family's enemies?”, Guren said while facepalming.

She then remained silent as she did not expect that he would understand what she was talking about. Weren't those novels exclusively for women? Why did a das.h.i.+ng man like him read such literature? Was he actually a female disguising as a highly attractive young master like in the novels?

As her thoughts became less and less irrational, Guren brought her back to reality with his smug remark, ”I've read more novels than you've seen in your entire lifetime”

This is not enough. Not enough! The thing screeched as it furiously and ravenously devoured its meal. No one would dare to call the thing a glutton as it was not merely eating a lot of food. There were those that ate half a bowl and felt full. Then there were those that ate twenty bowls and still felt that their nutrition was lacking. The most extreme were those that could deplete an entire year's supply of food in less than a week. This feast was on an entirely different dimension though.

Ten beached blue whales lay motionless as they all had a gaping hole on their sides. Four blue whales had already been turned into skeletons along with various marine life caught in the crossfire. However, the creature would not relent and even a hundred tons of meat could not satisfy its unquenchable hunger.

”To start, I will finally take down the Kingdom”, the creature growled. Despite over a thousand years having pa.s.sed, it only evolved twice. However, the gap between before and after the two evolutions were quite significant. Currently, he was a behemoth which was a creature at 80 meters tall and capable of jogging, despite its hulking physique. When he first entered this world, he was less than 20 meters but still immensely powerful. However, he realized that he could no longer consume indiscriminately as only those of immense size or immense power could increase his experience bar.

When he was 40 meters tall, he was tempted but the golems impeded him. As they were all 55 meters and numbered in the tens, he was overwhelmed and had no choice but to leave. It was also wasteful to expend his energy on the golems as they had no flesh or soul for him to devour. He had figured out that he could devour souls when doing so to a certain somewhat talented man with a sword. Unlike the spirits of his realm, it seemed that this spirit was unique to him and kept him afloat. Now that he had devoured it, he wondered which sin the man would be aligned to.

As he pondered this, two figures then appeared beside him and reported hastily as in the presence of this monstrosity, anyone but Atlas would want to leave.

”He is still alive and somehow has become even stronger”

”Interesting”, the Behemoth said before revealing rows of unbelievable sharp teeth through a sinister smile.
