The Swamp King

Old Frey heard the splashing sound of water coming from the dim lakeside.

A huge creature crawled out of the lake and onto the shore, followed by a low rumble that enveloped the area.

It was a huge Black Typhon, with a robust body and a ferocious head.

Old Frey's heart skipped a beat, just like the Furnace Core.

The Child of the Earth crushed his proud, newly formed Furnace Core, and the tremors swept across the swamp.

Without a doubt, this is a baptized Typhon!

Apart from Muerjia, there is no creature more powerful than Baptized Typhon in these waters.

"What have you done? What have you done? What have you used to bewitch the great Typhon!" Old Frey screamed, hurling a series of vicious insults at Ysera, including accusing the White Stork Queen of infidelity by using Ysera third husband as a pretext.

White storks are monogamous for life; once the male or female dies, the other will not have another mate. However, Ysera's current husband is her third. When Ysera had offspring with her second husband, her third husband may have just been born.

Old Frey racked his brains but couldn't figure out how a white stork could summon Typhon.

Ysera preened her feathers and said casually, "You've been lying in that stinking puddle without ever showing yourself, yet you know quite a lot. Those two capybaras must have told you, right? Don't worry, after I take care of you, I won't let those two capybaras off the hook either."

"You actually knew?" Frey was surprised that the other party knew about his arrangements.

"Those two capybaras had a stench of swamp on them that I couldn't stand, but I endured it, letting them find your trail. I never expected you to show yourself," Ysera said.

"You were no match for me!" Old Frey roared.

"But you've made yourself an enemy of the rainforest, you stinking old thing!" Ysera spread her wings and flew into the sky, unwilling to waste her breath on the Swamp King.

"Famu, it's up to you now."

The white storks hovered overhead, keeping watch on the Swamp King's every move while also demonstrating the power of the rainforest overlord to their own kind.

"Buzz--!"

Grass and trees lay flattened, swamps burst open, and sticky black mud splattered everywhere.

Famu swung his body and pushed forward. Swamp King cursed Ysera incessantly and roared at Famu. An old swamp crocodile who had endured hardship and humiliation, he certainly wouldn't surrender easily. The swamp crocodile opened its wide mouth and bit at Famu. He had his own pride. A Dead Sun Armor would not fear Typhon, and he shouldn't be afraid either!

But Famu bypassed his huge mouth, nimbly turned around, and bit his neck from the side. The huge impact pushed Swamp King from the shore into the swamp. In order to support his body, Swamp King also overturned a large clump of mud.

Then he was easily pulled out again. Black Typhon twisted his neck and threw him toward a tree trunk twenty meters away. Swamp King's body smashed through two tree trunks and rolled on the ground, the fleshy tumor on his back falling off.

The cruel laws of the rainforest dictate that there may not be a difference in power between Intelligent Species and Savage Species, but a formidable barrier always exists between Super Species and them.

Swamp King was stunned by the blow, and he cried out repeatedly, "No, Your Majesty Typhon, Great Typhon, why are you being manipulated by a villain?"

In the sky, Ysera was astonished that Typhon had such an attack method. How much strength would it take to support the neck to throw the Swamp King twenty meters away? Moreover, although the neck looked thick, it was actually very flexible. Ysera couldn't guarantee that she could dodge these attacks within Black Typhon's attack range.

Famu crossed the swamp, he observed a Pollution on the surface of the swamp water, which was the fluorescence of the Earth Vein Energy.

However, this Pollution is also an energy source that Typhon can absorb from the Earth Vein Energy.

"No, Typhon! Great Typhon! I can give you everything!" The Swamp King rolled over on the ground and roared.

"You can rule Arensa, you can devour the last remaining ley lines!"

You can...!

Famu crawled over quickly, without uttering a single word, his scales sparking as he passed over the rocks.

Strictly speaking, Famu was a henchman recruited by the Bronze Bone, and other matters were not his concern. However, from the Swamp King's perspective, Black Typhon was practically the embodiment of Death God, remaining silent throughout, with only a chilling killing intent enveloping the area. Then, his pale eyes lit up in the darkness, and the Earth Vein Energy of the Child of the Earth was released.

"Buzz--!"

The strongest tremor caused the leaves on the leaves of the trees in the swamp to fall in a rustling sound.

Swamp King dared not utter another word of pleading. He knew that if he dared to stay there and take the blow head-on, he would definitely die, and die a horrible death! Frey immediately swung his severed tail and plunged into the lake with a splash.

But Famu was much faster than him. Before he could escape into deeper water, the Swamp King was choked by Famu, and the rest of his body was tightly strangled, unable to move.

The water surface looked as if it were boiling.

The Furnace Core of the Child of the Earth roared, not because the prey was so powerful, but because the Furnace Core was working, absorbing the Pollution from the earth's veins in the lake.

Old Frey sensed something; his Earth Vein Energy was being drained, and he opened his mouth to roar.

But the part that was being choked was the fish's softest part, its lower neck, so it couldn't scream.

Famu's teeth went extremely deep, piercing the throat. His jaw muscles exploded, and his upper and lower jaws snapped shut. He bit through the Swamp King's throat, crushing the cervical vertebrae along with it!

This was Famu's technique for dealing with the Dead Sun Armor: biting the side of the neck and strangling simultaneously. However, using this move on this Swamp Crocodile was a complete waste of its potential. The hardness of its scales and the strength of its bones were not even in the same league. Before the strangulation could even begin, its neck was broken.

Famu's mouth was full of broken bones and some blood. He crushed the bones and flesh with his teeth and swallowed them all.

To be honest, it wasn't very tasty.

It was old and hard, and had a sour, rancid smell.

In mid-air, Ysera saw large swathes of blood gushing from the water, floating on the lake's surface with wisps of fluorescence. The rhythm of the Child of the Earth bound those fluorescences to a fixed body of water.

Then, Old Frey's body surfaced, a giant swamp crocodile with its head severed. Black Typhon swam around the crocodile's carcass and began to feed.

This is the simplest way for Super Species to eliminate Pollution.

They consume Pollution chunks of meat and the Furnace Core, while the Super Species possesses the ability to digest Pollution.

But this Black Typhon was ridiculously strong. Ysera observed from mid-air and vaguely sensed that Old Frey's Furnace Core strength had reached the level of an adult Super Species. She had thought it would be a bloody battle between a pseudo- Super Species and a true Super Species, but she didn't expect Black Typhon to end the battle so decisively.

No, this wasn't a battle at all; it was Black Typhon's one-sided hunt.

"But in any case, thank you, Famu, "Ysera murmured Black Typhon's name in her heart.

The Bronze Bone went to where it was meant to go.

This is Lundetil's revelation.
