Chapter 125: Price of power (4)

DING!

[Beast Assimilation successful]

[Beast Name: Abok]

[God beast name: Unknown]

[Type: Earth and steel type]

[Abilities Unlocked]

[Steel body: The user can turn his skin to steel, granting him greater defense and strength. This ability does not affect the user's mobility in any way]

[Earth manipulation: The Abok is blessed with a terrifying control over the earth element around it but barely uses it because it prefers to use its steel element instead]

[Soft body: The user can make his body soft and flexible enough to mimic the movements and actions of a serpent. It grants the user the ability to stretch his body almost twice its original size!]

[Steel bite: Should the Abok ever sink its fangs into an enemy, it can spread its steel element into the enemy body, turning them into a steel sculpture in a matter of seconds!]

Seeing the last ability, Lucien's heart skipped a beat. He could remember the Abok binding Rupture and while preparing to sink its fangs into its throat. If it wasn't for the lightning spell he used to distract it enough for Rupture to break free, it should be safe to say Rupture would have died at the spot!

Argh!

Lucien felt the energy burning fiercely in him. He could feel his body was yearning for a breakthrough but he dared not do it here and now, at least not with so many powerful enemies around.

"Hahahahaha! You managed to survive this long… You are not as useless as you look!" A loud voice erupted from the shadow storm above!

It was the Rupture!

From the shadow storm, the remains of Abok fell to the ground and slowly Rapture emerged. Its rock body had so many cracks showcasing the intense battle he and Abok fought within the lava sphere but the grin on its face made it look like it wasn't hurt.

Its eyes scanned Lucien shortly before revealing a hint of surprise! Lucien was covered in blood and while I was still within the shadow storm, it noticed Lucien was hurt badly by the Lanka making it feel anxious. It didn't think Lucien would be able to hold out for much longer but the current Lucien was completely fine even though his body was covered in blood!

'This kid… what the hell is he?' it muttered in its mind before forgoing the thought. In his opinion, Lucien has his secrets! Secrets that have made him come so far and have helped him progress so fast. It's only natural he can do this much! If not Rupture would not consider him a worthy partner!

"You made it out alive? I'm shocked" Lucien sneered causing the face of Rupture to twitch but it ignored Lucien's words and focused on the two king-tier magic beasts in front of them.

Since his appearance Lanka and Argo have stopped fighting, completely focusing their attention on Rupture and Lucien. Their plans of profiting from this battle have failed and now they have to survive.

"Two of them…" Rupture said with a frown.

The Abok was far stronger than he expected and he got hurt badly because of this. While it is confident that it can deal with any of them, it's another thing entirely taking both of them on all alone.

"You don't have to worry… I will deal with the little bird… you handle the goat" Lucien yawned indifferently, stunning all three king-tier magic beasts.

Did Lucien really intend to take on a king-tier magic beast alone? Thinking about it, Rupture, realized Lucien chose Argo because he knew it was a wind-type magic beast with an incredible speed! It will be difficult for an average speed magic beast like Rupture to deal with it. Meanwhile, the two king-tier beasts were fuming now! If it isn't for Rupture who is standing beside Lucien they would have gone in for the kill!

"Are you sure?" Rupture asked calmly.

After going through so much with Lucien, its fate in this little youth is far more than before. If Lucien said he can kill a god right now, Rupture would believe him since he knew Lucien isn't the type to brag.

"Yessssss…." Lucien's word suddenly sounded like a hiss, stunning everyone!

In front of their eyes, Lucien's body began gaining brown snake scales while his eyes changed, resembling that of a serpent. He grew fangs and behind him, a faint image of the Abok appeared hissing viciously!

[Beast Assimilation activated!]

That very instant, Lucien's aura changed, improving tremendously! He gave off the aura of a true King tier magic beast, leaving everyone stunned! Who the hell is this kind and what kind of sorcery is this?

Isn't he giving off the same aura as Abok that was killed a minute ago?

How did he attain its powers?

The two king-tier magic beasts frowned upon seeing this. After living for centuries they have never experienced something this strange. Since Lucien owned the territory close to theirs and with the Rupture standing beside him if they allowed these two they are done for! This is their best opportunity to get rid of the problem!

They once harbored the thoughts of fleeing but after seeing Lucien's strange ability they knew it would be best for them to kill Lucien or he will soon become a being they cannot compare to. They who each other a meaningful glance before nodding in agreement without saying a single word!

Lucien had to die here! That's all that matters!

Rupture kept gazing at Lucien with a strange look in its eyes. It could remember its battle with Lucien back then. He kept giving off the aura of different magic beasts but he never paid any attention to it, since those magic beasts are considered low tier. But now he finally understood this strange power Lucien had and even now it couldn't help but shudder in fear while turning its gaze to Lanka and Argo.

With Lucien's strange ability active, if they kill these two King tier magic beasts, doesn't that mean he would absorb their power as well and gain the strength of three king tier magic beasts?
