Chapter 723: Buddy? (2/2)

”You're right. I nearly forgot I could do this.” Vendrick muttered, ”Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, I think I can manage. After all, I got something like this.”

*Fwoosh!!*

Just then, a ring of crimson colored flames erupted from Vendrick. The flames carried immense heat and extreme destructive nature. Vendrick also laced if with Lightning and Thunder which slithered around.

The combination of the Infernal Flames and Lightning Tribulation cleansed the murky darkness within his surroundings. Vendrick allowed the lightning and flames to cover as much ground. They provided enough visibility for him see his surroundings. He also felt that he struck the creature down here.

From the way it screeched, it would seem that it got hit pretty bad.

”Oh my.” Vendrick feigned worry. ”I'm sorry. Did I hit you? I got a little too careless with that.”

”...n-not really. I'm good. I managed to avoid it in the nick of time.” The voice replied.

'Oh? Its facade is breaking. I should give it another push.' Vendrick thought to himself.

The spear appeared on Vendrick's hand. He stabbed the tip on the ground and all of a sudden, geysers of flames erupted everywhere. He's not done though. After creating numerous flame geysers, he pointed the spear above and lightning suddenly struck down. He still managed to attract lightning from the skies even though he's in the abyss.

The two equally destructive elements caused havoc in their surroundings. Vendrick smirked as he could hear the scuttling sound of something trying to evade the mass destruction he's causing.

With all the commotion happening here, the visibility was recovering. Vendrick could make out the silhouette of this so-called God. Although not as clear as he would like to, its enough.

”Hmm, I don't think this is bright enough. It's still difficult to make out the intricacies of your beautiful home, my friend. Mn!! More, we need more light!!” Vendrick yelped. ”What do you think, buddy? We need more light yeah?”

”...krgh!!”

”Hmm? Hey buddy are you okay!? Are you hurt!? Are you in pain!? Answer me! Ah! I can't hear you. Aha!! Wait, let me get some more light so that I can see you properly! Hold on okay!?”

*Boom!!* *Bzzt!!* *Boom!*

More flame geysers, more lightning bolts. The sound of thunder echoed in the abyss, earth shattered, lightning streaked and the flames melted the rocks, creating lava. The suffocating fumes did nothing to stop Vendrick's madness as he laid waste on his surroundings.

He didn't target any specific spots...well, he kinda did but he made it look like he wasn't. Of course, he's doing this on purpose. He wanted to shatter this god's facade. He's merely showing this creature that he can play this game better.

Vendrick could hear the pained screams of the god. As the abyss lit up ever so slowly, he could see more of what thus creature looked like.

Well, it was disgusting.

It looked like a large emaciated hound. One could almost see some of its bones poking out of its skin, its as if it hadn't eaten anything since birth. It has mane on its neck like that of a lions and it's tail is connected to the darkness around them. He could even say that this darkness was its tail.

The eyes of the beast glowed with crimson colored light. It was drooling acid, it has sharp claws and unbelievably swift as it jumped around to avoid the chaos Vendrick brought to its home.

It might look like the hound was busy evading everything that Vendrick caused but in truth, it was so swift that it tried several times to tear him to pieces, only failing due to the Tribulation Lightning that's coursing through Vendrick's body.

Vendrick also saw some shackles on it's limbs. They appeared to be made out of iron but Vendrick wasn't convinced, as if a creature like this can't shatter some mere iron shackles.

The shackles are connected to chains and from what he observed so far, the chains are embedded on the walls of the abyss, it pinned the creature down, preventing it from escaping this deep abyss.

Thanks to the bolts of lightning and flames, the hound was injured. It felt a seeping pain penetrating its flesh that just won't go away.

Muffled groans and pitiful whines escaped from the hound but its fury was palpable. Its tail of darkness was fighting back against the foreign forces but Vendrick showed no signs of letting-up. It's as if he has an unending supply of lightning and flames and he's certainly not shy to keep it to himself.

”Oh! Is that you, Buddy!? Man, you look horrible! Damn! Food and drinks you say? You know what, forget it, I'm good. I think you'll be needing those more than I do.” Vendrick smirked as he mocked the beast directly.

”Damn you!!”
