Chapter 50: Relentless Wrath (1/2)
Arion's ember eyes seemed to glimmer brighter as if he was highly enraged!
”ROARRRR!!” His roar sounding inflamed yet painful, traveled across the cave as he swung his other arm around and clawed at the Queen Jawfiend's leg that had pierced through his other arm.
*Spltchh!*
Surprisingly, Arion's claws ripped through its hairy leg like butter and cut off its entire leg just like that, making dark blood ooze out from its severed leg.
*KREEEEE!!!*
The Queen Jawfiend loudly screeched and stumbled back, never expecting Arion to attack it and, most of all, his attack to be so strong and vicious.
It couldn't understand how he got strong enough within a short span of time to cut off its leg so easily.
Arion pulled out its severed leg from his other arm and put it in his mouth while his injured arm had almost become numb due to serious injuries.
Still, he didn't care and crunched the Queen Jawfiend's leg to pieces in his mouth and swallowed, his stomach still letting out growls of hunger as saliva dripped from his mouth.

Arion felt a number of changes going on in his body, the most noticeable was how he felt that his heart was expanding when in reality, it was not expanding physically but was getting richer in prana.
And the main reason for that was that he finally broke through to the Prana Releasing Stage!
This made his body undergo a small rebirth of sorts, increasing all his stats making him more powerful, stronger, and most of all, deadlier.
The most noticeable stat change was his Pranic Force which signified the total amount of prana contained in his body.
Apparently, entering the Prana Releasing Stage allowed him to increase his Pranic Force which previously never increased no matter how many cycles he progressed in Prana Binding Stage.
His attack prowess now became more venomous since his temporary ability 'Doom Fang' leveled up and even gained an additional decay effect!
This might have happened because he ingested the Queen Jawfiend's leg, which contained its venom coupled with the fact that his Defity increased as well.
But the Queen Jawfiend's venom never had a decay effect since Arion's injured arm wasn't suffering any decay before when he got stung.
This meant that it was probably a mutated attribute that stemmed from his Darkness Aspect.
His injured arm also started to show its original healing prowess, no longer slowed down by the Queen Jawfiend's venom.
The venom in his bloodstream was easily getting neutralized now that his body was stronger, and his Darkness Aspect was able to suppress it.
Most of the prana he assimilated went towards healing his arm, while the other contributed to the increase in his Defity.
It was as if his body knew best how to redirect the prana he assimilated.
Arion got to his feet swiftly, no longer feeling numbness in his right arm. His injuries were healing up at a fast pace, and he was feeling control of his arm again.
The Queen Jawfiend also recovered from its shock and injury at this point and somehow stood on all its seven legs. It seemed that even after losing a leg, it didn't find it much difficult to stand.
”Grrrr....” Arion's chest kept on undulating as if his anger and hunger were not at all satiated by just eating one of its legs.
He wanted more...He wanted to rip apart and devour not just one of its legs but its every leg, its body, its head...everything!
