Chapter 152: Enslaving Horrifying Mandrake (a) (2/2)
'I might've lost the battle, but I will the war! The horrifying mandrake thought as such since it believed that the only reason it lost to Elliot was letting its guard down and not taking him seriously enough.
Anyway, since its main body was alive, recovering its strength in a matter of weeks wasn't much of a dream.
”Once I regain my strength, I will hunt him down, tear him apart from limbs to limbs, gorge out his eyes and pull out his tongue along with his innards, even if I have to chase him to the very corners of this land.”
Thoughts of revenge began to fill its mind. Oh, no! Of course, not! The mandrake didn't have a brain, so it lacked a mind of its own, but it did have a soul, and it turned a shade darker, or so the monster believed when the moonlight in its surroundings dimmed and disappeared.
Silence and darkness filled its world for a before moment before glints of gold began to brighten up its world.
The horrifying mandrake had nearly fooled itself into believing that the anger and hatred enriching its corrupted soul has caused a new power to emerge in it. However, that ridiculous thought shattered as fast as it formed by the blinding rays of gold, types of light it had never seen in its life.
'Eh? W-what is this?!”
It raised its head, only to see many golden clouds surging above the field like waves in the ocean, swirling and intertwining, taking the shape of five fingers, each big enough to poke an eye-catching hole in the sky.
[You've absorbed the essence of life from more than a dozen nightmares]
[You've gained 3200 units of the essence of life]
[You've absorbed all the lifespan that surged out of the Bloody Nightmare, the secondary body of the horrifying mandrake, and permeated the surrounding.]
[+4000 units of the essence of life]
[You had used 6000 units of the essence of life to materialize the extravagant picture in your mind into the fabric of reality]
A single hand of his creation imprisoned the mandrake in its shadow, just like how a single hand of Buddha trapped Sun Wukong,
The fingers dropped to the ground, penetrating its surface deeply, then pulling out not the bushes and the stalks of weeds but the field itself from the forest and bringing it high in the sky.
The fingers flipped the field upside down, causing the things on it to drop down to the ground due to gravity. Many things dropped from the floating field of many stuff, but none resembled the mandrake. However, Elliot was surprised to see a treasure box itself falling down the air and towards the spot several meters away from him.
