The Union of Man and Monster
Hengwei Hengheng,"
Inside the large green void illuminated by the red light, muffled impacts and explosions continued to resound for a long time.
"Don't hold back! Holding back will only lead to your own death!"
Asfi and her Hermes Familia were still entangled with the members of the Evilus, constantly throwing explosives to force them back while shouting themselves hoarse. However, facing the Evilus members who would self-destruct as soon as they charged in, the Hermes Familia fought hesitantly, not daring to close the distance with their opponents. As a result, they were constantly suppressed and looked like they were being forced into a corner.
The colorful carnivorous Man-Eating Flower attacked Hermes Familia indiscriminately, targeting all members of the Evilus along the way, biting them indiscriminately. Others, under the orders of the white-robed man, attacked Leo, either headbutting him or swinging their tentacles to smash him, creating explosions and clouds of dust.
Leo nimbly dodged, each time his toes touched the ground, he would use the momentum to leap backward, avoiding the attacks of the carnivorous Man-Eating Flower.
"Is all you can do to hide?!"
The disheveled man in white jumped onto the head of a Man-Eating Flower, pushed off with his feet, and leaped into the air, charging towards Leo and delivering a powerful punch.
"Bang!"
The ground, struck by the heavy punch, exploded with a deafening roar, kicking up dust and creating another explosion. Leo, who had dodged the attack, remained completely unfazed by the white-clad man's provocation. As he continued to leap backward, he raised his hand and cast a spell.
"[Meteor Dance]!"
This [Meteor Dance] attack was charged up.
In other words, it was an attack that Leo had amplified with extra mental energy.
"Buzz----"
The atmosphere trembled with a hum, and a magnificent magic circle unfolded before Leo.
The next second, a massive meteor, much larger than Leo's height, shot out like a pillar of light and blasted towards the man in white.
"!!!"
The white-clad man's pupils constricted sharply from the shock of the enormous meteor that nearly obscured his entire field of vision, while the Man-Eating Flower monsters were thrown into an indescribable state of excitement by sensing an unprecedentedly powerful Demonic Power reaction.
"Quick! Protect me!"
Ignoring the Man-Eating Flower's instincts, the man in white forcefully controlled them, forcing them to stand in front of him.
"Boom!!!"
The massive meteor, hurtling towards him, pierced through the Man-Eating Flower with unstoppable force, annihilating them all. Then, with its momentum undiminished, it crashed down on the white-robed man, engulfing him and the ground within a radius of several meters around him.
A terrifying explosion suddenly occurred in that area, with powerful starbursts flashing and creating shockwaves that destroyed everything in their path.
"I----guest guest guest guest guest guest guest," The white-clad man's screams echoed from within, telling everyone his current predicament.
Leo then stopped his leaping and looked ahead into the shockwave of the explosion, maintaining a calm expression throughout.
"Has it been resolved over there?"
Asfi and the others naturally noticed the commotion. Seeing the white-clad man being struck by Leo's powerful magic, they couldn't help but show hope in their eyes.
They sincerely hoped that the culprit behind this incident had already been dealt with by Leo.
In this way, with Leo's help, they were able to quickly eliminate the remnants of these Evilus and end it all completely.
Pity----
"You think this is the end of it?!"
The white-clad man's pained voice echoed through the space.
"It won't end like this!"
The white-clad man, shouting this, emerged from the epicenter of the explosion.
His white clothes were burned off, revealing a body covered in wounds.
No, that body couldn't even be described as covered in wounds; it was just a mangled mess, a bloody mess, with bones even faintly visible in some places.
The white bone helmet on his face was also destroyed, revealing a head of dark white hair.
His face was so badly burned that it was impossible to recognize him.
However, his mangled body, exposed to the air, exhibited some chilling characteristics.
For example, his legs were stained a yellowish-green color, the same as the skin of Man-Eating Flower.
For example, in the center of his chest, amidst the lacerations and lacerations of his upper body, there was a dazzling, multicolored crystal embedded.
This body, bestowed upon me by "her"—by "her"—will not be destroyed by such a minor injury!
The man in white—or rather, the man with white hair—roared angrily.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the wounds on his body were emitting wisps of smoke, and particles of Demonic Power were floating all over his body. Then, they began to heal rapidly, allowing his flesh to slowly regrow.
Without casting any healing magic or using any healing elixirs, the white-haired man displayed an unnatural ability to regenerate, gradually healing his injuries before everyone's eyes.
"What... what is this?!"
"His legs—are exactly like those of those Man-Eating Flower!"
"The crystal in his chest—could it be—?!"
"Magic Stone!"
Asfi and the others were greatly shocked by what they saw, and were completely stunned.
"Wack----"
Only Leo coldly watched this scene, once again using the title he himself had uttered.
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
The white-haired man, as if no longer concealing himself, revealed his true colors, spreading his arms and shouting wildly.
"That's right! I'm a monster! A being who possesses the power of both humans and monsters!"
The combination of human and monster power—that is, human intelligence and monster body—creates what is known as a monster.
Whether it's the white-haired man or Revis, they both appear to be human, but in reality, their entire bodies are aliens—monsters with human forms but no human bodies.
That's why the two possess monstrous physical strength and this illogical self-healing ability.
"How could such a thing be—!"
Cold sweat trickled down Asfi's forehead.
Even she, a master of magical artifacts, had never heard of any being in this world that possessed the power of both humans and monsters.
Wack?
She had never even heard of such a thing, let alone imagined it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Magic Stone in the other person's chest cavity was still protruding, Asfi would never have believed that such an absurd existence could exist.
But it's all true.
Surprised? Shocked? Be surprised and shocked!
The white-haired man declared loudly.
"All of this is incredible; the city came into being because of 'her'!"
Only "she" could bring about such a miracle!
"She gave me a new life, so I must give everything to her!"
The white-haired man's urge to confide seemed to have reached its peak; as if venting his emotions, he pointed to the Jewel Fetus on the quartz pillar.
"She needs to create her own clone, so we will prepare this Seedbed for her!"
"She said she wanted to see the sky, so we'll prepare Pawn for her, lift that obstructive cover, and let her..."
Walk out of the dark underground!
"Her wish is everything we've been waiting for, the mission we've been fighting to the death to complete!"
The white-haired man was completely absorbed in his own world, ignoring the doubts and feelings of Leo and the others, and began to speak on his own.
"You obstructive, inferior creatures could never understand how we feel."
After a long struggle, the white-haired man finally calmed down and looked at everyone again.
"You will only seal 'her' away in this dark, sunless abyss, just as you sealed this Dungeon, so that she will never see the sun outside!"
That's why he wanted to eliminate Leo and the others.
The reason is simply to eliminate future obstacles and present hindrances.
"Leave them all here!"
The white-haired man raised his head and shouted in the direction of the quartz pillar.
"It's your turn, Giant Flower!"
As the white-haired man shouted, a massive figure moved atop the huge, red-glowing quartz stone.
"Boom!"
Amidst the sudden tremor, one of the three enormous Man-Eating Flower that had been quietly clinging to the giant quartz began to move.
It slowly raised its enormous flower, its vibrant, dazzling petals facing the people below. Its body, which had been integrated with the main pillar and the green wall, began to slowly peel away, producing a clear sound that made the earth crack.
The brightly colored flowers emitted a strong, putrid stench, and every movement of its enormous body caused the quartz column and the air to vibrate.
"[Meteor Dance]!"
Without hesitation, Leo immediately activated his magic circle, unleashing another massive meteor that streaked towards the Giant Flower monster, causing it to react to his Demonic Power.
The next second, a tentacle larger than the body of an ordinary Man-Eating Flower tore through the air and lashed out at the incoming meteor.
"Bang!!!"
Blinding Starlight exploded in the vast, empty sky, and the enormous meteor was blasted apart on the spot by the giant tentacles, scattering into countless stardust fragments.
Then, the Giant Flower monster leaped off the quartz pillar and crashed to the ground.
"BOOM!!!"
The enormous size of the object crashed into the ground, creating a terrifying shockwave that shook the entire void.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah----!"
The Hermes Familia, who were locked in battle with the Evilus, were thrown to the ground by the tremor. Even Asfi lost her balance and nearly knelt on the ground.
The shockwave, mixed with dust, swept through the entire large cavity.
The ground was smashed, cracking and denting, causing the Green Flesh on it to burst open and turn into flying shards.
The Giant Flower monster stood proudly in the depths of the billowing gray smoke and slowly crawled out.
Destroy them!
At the white-haired man's command, the giant snake, as large as a mountain, began to stir.
Soon after, it launched its attack.
A destructive charge, billowing with dust, swept towards Leo and his group, a terrifying and oppressive sight.
