Chapter 49: Kill (1/2)

Chapter 49: Kill

The piercing cry of the Firehawk was met by an infuriated howl from the ape.

When the smoke dissipated, a frighteningly large wound had appeared on the giant ape’s body.

The Giant Adamantine Ape’s Adamantine Body made its body as tough as a rock, but the powerful torrent of energy easily penetrated its body like a hot knife through butter. The massive wound on the ape’s body was deep enough to expose the white bone underneath.

But a moment later, the ape’s wound began to close automatically.

This guy’s recovery ability was abnormally powerful.

Even so, the Giant Adamantine Ape was infuriated.

Before this point, no person had ever given it such a serious injury before.

“AWOO!”

The giant ape’s body seemed to inflate slightly as it let out a primal howl.

It charged towards Su Chen, the ape’s massive body casting a shadow upon Su Chen’s body.

Upon seeing that the ape had increased in size again, Su Chen let out a quiet cry of surprise.

The Giant Adamantine Ape was considered “Giant” because it contained traces of a Giant Beast in its bloodline. As it grew, its strength would continue to increase.

The most obvious indicator of an ape’s strength was its body size.

The larger they were, the more powerful they were.

Twenty feet was one of the weaker existences among all the Giant Adamantine Apes. While it was much larger than humankind, this was quite common amongst Vicious Beasts. It was still quite a distance away from being considered a Giant Beast.

However, their bloodline allowed them to grow constantly.

Giant Adamantine Apes were easily angered, and rage stimulated their bloodlines, allowing them to increasingly awaken their bloodline’s power and become more powerful.

That was exactly what had happened. The Giant Adamantine Ape was enraged because of the pain. This activated the sliver of its ancient bloodline, causing its strength to increase.

“AWOOO!!!”

It let out an enraged howl as it charged forwards, its speed much greater than before.

Su Chen hurriedly retreated. Flames appeared in his hand as he sent forth another Firehawk.

“Go!” Su Chen shouted as the Firehawk flew forward.

But this time, the Firehawk did not transform into a torrent of flames. Rather, it flew towards the ape in hawk form. As if it possessed intelligence, its sharp beak latched onto the ape’s previous wound. That place was not protected by the Adamantine Body, allowing the Firehawk to tear off a large chunk of flesh.

The giant ape swung its arm downwards as it howled in pain, slamming it into the Firehawk. However, the Firehawk was completely formed from Origin Energy flames, so it was not a genuine lifeform.

Su Chen had learned this technique from Smoke.

Although Su Chen’s Firebird was powerful, everyone’s strength had been increasing, resulting in the Firebird slowly being left behind..

hi Kaihuang had taught Su Chen with his finger strike what “scope” really meant.

His future prospects would be limited if he continued to rely on the Erupting Firebird’s temporary power.

Thus, Su Chen was always trying to figure out how to strengthen his Erupting Firebird.

During the Red Cloud Slope battle, Smoke’s battle method gave Su Chen some insight as to how to improve his Erupting Firebird.

Smoke’s flames could congeal into a genuine substance. Rather than a one-time attack, the flames could become individual existences and attack repeatedly. Although the skill’s explosive power per attack decreased, the skill lasted for a longer time. In addition to having better harassment abilities, it could also absorb fire.

At that moment, the giant ape’s attention was drawn away by the Firehawk. It temporarily wasn’t paying attention to Su Chen.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen formed another Firehawk.

Another unique characteristic of the Firehawk was that multiple could exist simultaneously.

Firehawk after firehawk flew forth from his hands, their flaming wings flapping as they dived towards the giant ape.

The Giant Adamantine Ape furiously swung its arms through the air. The many Firehawks seemed like meteors that were constantly falling from the sky. The ape almost looked like a dancer on a stage lit by fireworks and lanterns.

As the Firehawks were struck by the ape’s powerful arms, the flames that made up its body would decrease, shrinking the Firehawk itself.

Upon losing its ability to remain cohesive, it would explode.

Every time a Firehawk exploded, it would leave behind a small wound on the Giant Adamantine Ape’s body.

Although these injuries were not severe, they accumulated over time.
