Myriad Devils-Chapter 146: Death is not the end

In battle, it was very rare for one force to reveal their entire might from the very beginning. Only mindless creatures rushed into battle not knowing the full extent of their adversary’s abilities, yet choose to reveal all of their cards early on.

Even though his situation was not initially great, Anon had continued a state of observation even to the point when he was surrounded by the two beasts.

One could even say that he had miscalculated slightly, and it had almost backfired.

However, Anon did not feel completely helpless after going blind. Even if he did not perceive his spear soul, Anon still had some confidence in confronting the two monstrosities.

Naturally, this confidence would not be nearly on the same level as his current level of confidence after perceiving his spear soul.

And along with his spear soul, he had also seen all the cards that these two beasts had to offer.

There was now no more need in prolonging this battle.

So when he said those words, the veins all across his body immediately bulged as they attempted to burst through his skin!

They became very noticeable across his entire body, but even more so around his eyes, neck, and wrists.

Since his lower body was mostly covered by a tattered tactical pants and worn out black boots, it could only be assumed that these veins were also excessively prominent there.

Top-Tier spear technique- Breathless Suppression!

When the two beasts appeared within close quarters, the green monster from the front, and the blue creature going around and striking from Anon’s side, the latter only scoffed with disdain at the simplicity of these beasts.

A steamy breath of turbid air escaped his lips as he made his move, evading the faster monster’s sharp attack before striking out at the green creature with his spear.

Evidently, compared to before, his spear moved through the air even more rapidly than before.

Its movements were much more unpredictable and when it struck, it always landed in one of the creature’s vital areas.

Its eyes, head, mouth, and heart faced a relentless barrage of attacks as Anon’s spear made several or even dozens of strikes before the creature could even begin to counter.

The spear released a faint glow as it arced through the air and penetrated the back of the beast’s head, causing blood and substance to explode into the surroundings.

Anon retracted the spear and created some distance.

The green monster remained standing in one spot, motionless for a while, but its wounds refused to heal, and there were simply too many.

As time passed, its body began to sway before falling to the ground with a loud thump.

But by the time this occurred, Anon had already exchanged over a hundred attacks with the quicker of the beasts!

Evidently, once there was a way to deal with the green creature’s regenerative abilities, it instantly became much easier to deal with.

On the other hand, the blue monster that utilized incredible speed was many times more difficult to confront.

Breathless Suppression!

Anon’s bones quaked as blood spurted out of his nose, eyes, and ears. The palms of his hands holding the spear was bloody, and each time he struck out with the spear, his own blood would spill into the surroundings.

Though he appeared in such a state, his expression remained indifferent as he battled the blue beast general. Although it was more complex to deal with, Anon had already taken full control of the battle some time ago.

It was naturally very difficult to land strikes on the blue creature, but thanks to the spear soul’s lasting effects, even the faintest of slashes, upon piercing the creature’s skin, would worsen as the battle progressed.

Eventually, the creature could not keep up its high speeds. And upon realizing this, it did not hesitate to turn around and attempt an escape.

After all, even if they were not inherently smart, their instincts were more enhanced than humans, and this included their survival instincts.

Once the situation had become hopeless, it did not hesitate to run away with its tail tucked between its legs.

"With the speed it showed before, if it wanted to leave back then, I could not stop it from doing so." Anon mumbled this, but there was a subtle grin on his face.

Now that the injuries on the creature’s body left it in a critical state, how could Anon let it escape.

"Come to think of it, where would it even go?" Anon chuckled.

They were on a drifting rock that floated in the skies of the Lost Lands.

For the most part, the terrain of the drifting rocks were flat and uninteresting. And until now, the duo had yet to see a beast leave a particular drifting rock and enter another.

Anon did not close the distance between it and the beast by much, but instead remained a distance away. And as it approached the edge of the drifting rock, sure enough, the beast made a detour.

Seeing this, Anon sighed with a hint of disappointment.

Seeing as it truly could not leave its own drifting rock, Anon did not hesitate any longer, and so, his spear trembled slightly, leaving a trail of a faint white light in its wake.

...

Seth stood silently high in the air.

As the decapitated head of the white beast slowly detached from the rest of its form, Seth’s crimson eyes, containing the faintest of silvery glows, closely observed as the creature began descending toward the earth beneath.

His gaze traveled between it, and the other two corpses of the blue and green monsters.

Over the course of this battle, his thoughts had been rapidly expended. He had deduced many minute details and came up with numerous theories.

Upon seeing that the white beast had the unique aspects of the other beasts, along with its own unique ability, Seth had concluded internally that this battle would eventually become troublesome.

At a point in time, he believed that this white beast was connected to the other beasts and still had at least one transformation to undergo.

He even went so far as to slightly strain his spirit in order to wield a great deal of stellar cosmic energy all in order to slay the white beast at the same time Anon killed the blue creature.

Whether killing it and another one of the creatures simultaneously was one of the requirements to permanently slay this beast or not, Seth did not desire to leave it up to guess.

He did it the first time, and so, even if he needed to expend himself a little more than usual, he had gotten rid of any risks and made sure of the duo’s victory.

By the time the white beast crashed into the earth, Seth had also appeared near Anon.

Although the creature did not explode like the dark beast, this was to be expected due to its obviously higher strength.

Although Anon appeared to be in a pathetic state, almost drowned in his own blood, when he perceived Seth, a half smile stretched across his face.

He skillfully twirled the staff in his hand before it broke down and became a strange tattoo that etched onto his hand.

"My battle prowess can be considered to truly be in the third world now, right?" Anon did not hide the emotion in his voice. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Of the things that could make him express much emotion, one was grasping knowledge previously unknown to man, and he was yet to even begin achieving that.

The other, naturally, was expanding his own strength.

However, there was still a hint of caution in Seth’s eyes as he momentarily ignored Anon and observed the remains of the monsters.

The dark beast had exploded into a mess, and along with the blue creature’s, the green beast’s corpse was useless. Only the heart of the white creature that Seth had killed was probably still in tact and could assist either of them.

Seeing Seth’s actions, Anon thought that the former was worried about this.

Since he was in quite a good mood, he casually mentioned, "They were strong beasts. Slaying them whilst preserving their hearts was practically impossible for me. Anyways, compared to me, you are less reliant on physical prowess so I can only thank you in advance for preserving the white beast’s heart."

There was a faint smile playing on his lips as he stepped towards the white beast’s corpse.

But just as he brushed past Seth, before he could move any closer, a firm hand pressed down on his shoulder, catching him by surprise.

Anon squinted his eyes as he turned his head slightly and glanced toward Seth behind him.

However, this tension only lasted for a moment before Anon’s subconscious began warning him of a great danger!

It could not be helped.

Anon’s spirit was greatly damaged, and much weaker than Seth’s. It took him a longer time to notice anything odd.

Thankfully, Seth had prevented him from drawing any closer to this oddness. So before Seth needed to say anything, Anon took a step back, appearing alongside Seth of his own volition.

The duo’s gaze was fixated on the remains of the white beast a distance away.

The creature that had crashed into the earth from the clouds above had not exploded like the dark beast. It was a headless corpse, and the insides should have naturally been wrecked by the fall.

Maybe its heart had burst from the force, making it another creature that Anon could not benefit from.

Whatever the case, it was visibly dead.

Still, Seth had remained weary of it, and continued to observe it for a while. Even if he was being overly cautious, he had a hunch.

When the subconscious of a stellar fighter spoke, one listened.

The very fact that Seth’s subconscious was even more special made it so that he always believed his subconscious was right.

There was no way he would overlook the white beast when his subconscious warned him not to.

So when changes began occurring to the white beast’s remains, he was not surprise. Instead, he nodded his head and said softly, "For this kind of creature, death is not the end."

With a grim voice, he whispered, "This battle has only just begun!"
