Chapter 507: Fleshly Abomination (1/2)
Boom!
The top of the energy conversion tower came crashing into the ground after Leon exerted more strength in his spear strike and sliced off the building, diagonally in half.
At the same time, black blood spurted out like a fountain from the remaining top of the sliced tower before a dreadful high-pitched cry rang out from within.
Kriiii!
”What the hell is that thing?” Lumi exclaimed in shock at the sight of fleshly heap revealed from both parts of the tower as she shielded herself from the raining black blood.
”A fleshly abomination!” Leon stated with surprise.
He had seen a similar fleshly abomination under the Black Swamp in the Dark Continent. However, the one before them was much smaller in comparison.
His expression turned grave before he quickly retreated from the red tentacles that shot out from the wriggling fleshly heap!
Swish! Swish!
The red tentacles were sliced to pieces by Leon's bone spear as he retreated while some red tentacles were directed towards Lumi.
However, before they could coil around Lumi, they were diced into numerous pieces by threads of darkness.
After the diced up red tentacles dropped to the ground, they continued to wriggle before morphing into numerous mini fleshly heaps with growing tentacles.
”Ew! That is so disgusting!” Lumi cried with repulsion as the small fleshly heaps chased after her and Leon with their thread-like red tentacles.
”Welp! At least, we know what is really generating the Demonic Energy here!” Leon said with a frown while hacking away all the tiny tentacles with his bone spear.
The fleshly abomination was able to absorb artificial Spirit Energy into their bodies before outputting the Demonic Energy.
In a sense, they were the opposite of World Trees.
After the small fleshly heap was hacked into pieces, they shortly morphed into even smaller fleshly heaps with tentacles.
The black blood was absorbed into their bodies, and Demonic Energy was also drawn back towards them to fuel their growth.
Shortly after, they began to proliferate rapidly on a cellular level before merging together to form a larger fleshly heap.
Bam! Bam!
Leon evaded a few tentacles as they slammed into the ground with impressive force, cracking the earth while hurting themselves in the process as black blood spurted.
However, its damaged tentacles regenerated back to peak condition in a short instance.
Leon's eyes flickered at the sight before he spoke while retreating further, ”These things aren't very strong, but their lifeforce and vitality are off the charts! I have never seen anything like this before!”
”And I have never seen such ugly things in my life! How are they not dying after being chopped up like this?” Lumi frowned with disgust before a wave of destruction obliterated the tiny fleshly heaps into ashes.
They did not come back after that.
”It seems the Destruction Law is still effective against them.” Leon mulled before burning the fleshly heaps with his conjured flames.
At the same time, he flashed Lumi a subtle glance, seeing she resort to using the Destruction Law so casually without regard for its backlash.
