Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 429: Vritra

Soon afterward, the man-dog-lizard creatures emerged from several different directions, baring their fangs as they pressed in on the group.

The monsters seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nothing. There had clearly been nothing there a moment before, and yet now, there were monsters everywhere. It really could make one’s scalp go numb.

Diana swallowed with difficulty, cursing, "Damn brat, if I end up getting eaten by these creatures, I won’t let you go even if I have to turn into a ghost."

Charlotte’s face paled as well. She instinctively leaned toward Sharky, as if only then would she feel a bit more at ease.

Meanwhile, Alina was calmer than the others, because she was the least affected by the resentment energy around them. She thought to herself that she had to protect the rest of the group properly.

Just then, the black monsters noticed them. They pounced toward the group with a roar.

However, Sharky brought out the Yin Yang Swords, slicing up the black monsters charging at them. He didn’t use the Tai’e Sword because it had been damaged by the Gandiva Bow, and he was worried that it would become more damaged if he used it in a fight.

Furthermore, he was worried that the Fiend Emperor would become interested in it, as it was something that could fend off a divine weapon. It would be really troublesome if it got stolen.

Sure enough, the Fiend Emperor’s attention was drawn to the weapons Sharky used. Aren’t those the Ocean races’ Yin Yang Swords? Looks like this kid’s relationship with the Ocean races runs quite deep.

As the glorious Fiend Emperor, however, a heaven-grade weapon wasn’t enough to make him feel anything. What he paid more attention to were the weapons of the other women.

Sect Master Diana’s Crescent Ring was as domineering as expected, and its movements were unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

Sect Master Charlotte’s Flying Snow Sword engulfed the world in an icy chill. It matched her Snowflake Sword skill extremely well.

The Medusa Queen’s World Painting was something rumored to have been made by the human world’s Royal Academy’s Principal. Even though it was less powerful than the other two, it wasn’t outclassed in any other way.

It was rumored that the Principal Scarlett was incredibly profound, and that her cultivation even approached Henry’s. The Fiend Emperor had previously felt some disdain toward her, but now, it seemed that such a thing could actually be true.

Two earth immortals in the human world wouldn’t be good for our fiend races.

However, he didn’t have the luxury to think about those things anymore, because there were just too many of the black monsters. Many of them saw the Fiend Emperor’s party of three, and charged at them too.

"You’re courting death!" The Fiend Emperor sneered. He didn’t move, but a wave of golden flames scattered outward, instantly burning all the approaching black monsters to ashes.

However, the monsters didn’t seem to feel fear at all. A new batch charged forth as soon as one went down, their expressions even more malicious than the last. Perhaps because they sensed that the Fiend Emperor’s side was stronger, however, many of the creatures went over to Sharky’s side.

Sharky took the chance to grab the women’s hands, calling out, "Run!"

He grabbed them and ran frantically toward the mountains. However, even though there were fewer black monsters, they still rushed forth endlessly.

At the same time, he used the Fire Phoenix, and a small fire that resembled a cute, lovely budding Phoenix appeared. However, as soon as it was released, it turned into an overwhelming disaster! Soon the Phoenix became big. The black monsters that approached were instantly burned until there was nothing left.

"So that kid actually had something so excellent." the Fiend Emperor muttered in surprise. At the same time, he recalled the cold case that had recently happened in the capital. The Black Teeth race had been looking for the killer everywhere, and yet this brat was actually the culprit after all!

It’s a good thing I placed that Puppet Curse on him.

Even though there were many black monsters attacking, it wasn’t a big deal for the Fiend Emperor at all, because they were easy to deal with.

The only thing he had to worry about was that strange resentment energy. As he didn’t have much time left, he didn’t want to lose any bit of life force.

The Fiend Emperor’s attention was drawn by the dazzling Phoenix Flame, but Sharky noticed an abnormality in that flame.

He seemed to grasp something simple yet profound, but it was too mysterious. He didn’t have time to comprehend it at the moment.

Then, the Phoenix Flame burned more and more intensely, making Sharky worry that it would also burn him.

The Fiend Emperor also sensed something. He turned around, looking toward the endless mountain range. Within the depths of the mountain range, far in the distance, an ancient coffin trembled slightly. A pair of eyes seemed to have slowly opened in the sky.

"Father emperor, what’s wrong?" the Golden Crow Crown Prince asked after seeing his father become absentminded. The black creatures were rushing at them like an ocean tide, so he had no choice but to guard against them alongside Wendy.

If they were struck by the monsters in any way, black energy lingered around the wounds. Fortunately, he had the Golden Crow Sacred Fire to protect him; furthermore, they hadn’t entered the area, which was why they hadn’t gotten infected by the resentment.

He had no idea how the fatty was doing so, but Wendy was actually able to defend against the corrosion of the black monsters too.

"It’s nothing," the Fiend Emperor said, retracting his gaze. However, he was actually trembling a bit inwardly.

What was that feeling just then? Why was there such a powerful being present, one that made even him feel extreme danger? The feeling of danger was even greater than when he faced Henry! He thought, How is that possible?!

The aura had only manifested for an instant before dispersing. Even the Fiend Emperor started to wonder whether it was just an illusion.

After all, he was already close to heaven and man’s deterioration. It wasn’t strange for him to be hallucinating. He shook his head. He felt that the Unknown Region was too strange, and that he had to be careful above all else.

He was about to snatch back Sharky and the others when an earth-shaking roar came from the mountaintop. Then, a massive figure leaped down from above!

It arrived in front of Sharky and the others almost instantly. Perhaps because he and the Fiend Emperor had killed too many of the black creatures, the lord of the monsters had appeared.

The monster’s body was immense and serpentine, stretching dozens of meters. Its face was dragon-like, with glowing golden eyes and venomous fangs, framed by jagged horns. Dark, storm-colored scales covered its coils, and dense black energy swirled around its entire form, radiating chaos.

"The resentment is ridiculously strong!" Diana exclaimed, jumping in fright. She had already really been pissed off and ready to unleash a slaughter, but compared to the resentment, it seemed like nothing in comparison.

Alina cried out in alarm, "Do... Do you guys feel something weird?" As the monster approached them, even she felt a wave of weakness, as if her life force had begun slipping away. The black scales were starting to appear on her wrist now too!

Charlotte screamed, noticing that the black scales had begun spreading far more quickly. There were even some black scales around her neck. Seeing that Sharky was about to turn around to look at her, she instinctively raised her sleeves to block her neck, crying out, "Don’t look!"

Sharky didn’t have the time to worry about all of that, because there was a terrifying pressure coming from the giant beast in front of him. He exclaimed, "From its aura, this creature seems to be at the earth immortal rank!"

"Judging from the way this creature looks, it greatly resembles one of the dangerous creatures, known as Vritra." He said in a grave tone.

He quickly looked back and shouted, "Fiend Emperor, do you still want us to scout the way? You don’t want us to die this early here, right?"

The Fiend Emperor ignored his clear pleas for rescue and said indifferently, "Right, this is a good chance for all of you to test its strength."

The beast that had suddenly appeared was just too strong, to the point that even the Fiend Emperor felt a bit threatened. As such, he planned to use Sharky to test it out first and see if it had any special skills. That way, when he fought it, he could avoid many dangers ahead of time.

Sharky hadn’t expected the Fiend Emperor to be so lacking in moral principles. He was already one of the world’s strongest. Shouldn’t he have felt a bit of excitement to find a rare opponent?

Then, the Vritra beast gradually approached. The group all felt their lifespans flowing away and their spirits growing weak, as if their minds were already being infected by the strong resentment.

Diana had been preparing to attack with her Crescent Ring, but it began wobbling back and forth, and she lost control of it. It dropped to the ground.

Charlotte’s arm also dropped powerlessly as soon as she raised the Snowflake Sword.

Alina was surprisingly better off, but her cultivation was the lowest there. With her strength, there was no way she could stop the terrifying monster.

She thought about using the Medusa Eye, but the Vritra was an earth immortal, something that was too far above her. Furthermore, there was such strong resentment all around them. The Medusa’s Eye wouldn’t necessarily be able to even petrify the surface of its skin.

Sharky swallowed his saliva and said, "Big bro Vritra, the one who killed the most of your disciples and children is that one over there. This doesn’t have anything to do with us, you know?" He picked up the Nine Cauldron and pointed it in the Fiend Emperor’s direction.

"What an idiot!" The Golden Crow Crown Prince burst out laughing. This guy’s actually trying to reason with a monster? He’s trying to shift that disaster this way?

You look pretty quick normally, so why do you seem kind of mentally deficient now? It would be way weirder if this Vritra or whatever could actually hear you.

The Vritra roared furiously toward the sky when it saw Sharky’s movement, as if it were enraged. It suddenly jumped at him.

Sharky was alarmed, but he still frantically used his ki to activate the Star Shattering Imprint. At the same time, he took out the Poisonous Prick to stake it all against the creature.

Still, he clearly understood that the Poisonous Prick normally only worked against living things. The Vritra didn’t seem to be a living thing at all, so the Poisonous Prick wouldn’t necessarily work.

The Vritra was about to reach him when its eyes darted toward the Phoenix Flame around him.

A confused look flickered through its eyes. Then, it turned on the spot, charging at the Fiend Emperor’s group.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s smile immediately froze on his face. What the hell is wrong with this monster? It really listened to what Sharky said?!

An earth immortal monster had begun charging at him! The tremendous pressure made it a bit hard for him to even breathe. He could only instinctively hide behind his father.
