197 Our Luck Is Really Good! (1/2)

In the pile of debris, there was a bundle of flesh that belonged to a creature. More than half of the body was buried in the debris, with two legs sticking out.

Half of the body melted, and it was emitting green smoke while it convulsed.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a confirmed death.

But Octopus Ball didn't die. His flesh healed rapidly. As Sherlock walked slowly towards him, Octopus Ball moved his convulsing body and pushed away a large pile of debris.

Octopus Ball's body was full of tentacles, though the face looked faintly like his own.

”You've sold your soul and flesh to the Ancient Gods.” Sherlock walked in front of Octopus Ball, who slowly stood up and grew larger.

”Tsk, tsk. He looks disgusting. Lord Sherlock, you have the courage to beat up such a disgusting creature. I'm in awe of you,” Bru said.

”Octopus Ball should have a way to connect directly to the Ancient Gods. Lord Sherlock, do you think that Octopus Ball will become a superior Devil with the help of the Ancient Gods?”

”I don't know, I didn't do any research.” Sherlock shook his head. Octopus Ball had already stood up.

Sherlock felt quaking underneath his legs.

”Pom, pom, pom—!”

Numerous tentacles broke out from the ground underneath Sherlock's legs. Each tentacle was as thick as a Giant, and they wrapped tightly around Sherlock.

Octopus Ball dragged his immense body and walked to the group of tentacles that were tens of meters tall. He clenched his fist as he enjoyed the feeling of controlling the tentacles. He could feel Sherlock's bones being crushed by his great strength.

Before long, the smell of burning came from the tentacles, and sizzling sounds were heard.

From top to bottom, tens of Mana Formations appeared around the tentacles.

Then, the tentacles burst into flames after a violent explosion.

The tentacles wiggled and released their hold while being swallowed by the flames. They were burnt to ash. When the flames extinguished, the emotionless Sherlock was left standing with his burnt Tuxedo.

”Is there anything else? Are you only able to enlarge your small tentacles to large tentacles?”

Octopus Ball was dumbstruck when he saw the intact Sherlock. After a moment, he shook in shame before laughing loudly.

”Hahahaha—ooo!”

Before he completed his laugh, he was punched in the stomach by the charging Sherlock.

This time, Octopus Ball wasn't sent flying. Sherlock's fist stuck to Octopus Ball's stomach while Octopus Ball's legs were lifted off the ground. Then, Sherlock changed the direction of his fist as his body inclined forward. His fist was in a hook position while a series of Mana Formations appeared on Sherlock's wrist.

”Strengthen.”

His strengthened fist hooked onto Octopus Ball's stomach as Octopus Ball was smashed onto the ground.

Boom—Boom—Boom—!

With Sherlock and Octopus Ball as the origin, the ground cracked open, and fissures snaked out like spider webs.

Sherlock stood up and looked down at the pool of blood that was seeping into the cracked ground.

”Let's go and take over the Dungeon Core.”

Sherlock turned and walked towards the Dungeon Core Main Hall.
