Chapter 329 Take Down The Galemonger! (1)

Skullius gawked at the ridiculous attributes and skills of this Legendary grade natural treasure that was being wielded by the dreadful beast that he had been resolved to run away from just now!

The special effects of the staff alone were on a whole other level from many of the things he had seen so far and the skills….

The skills!

They were ridiculous!

[Jump] was particularly attractive to Skullius as the instant he understood its effect, he couldn’t help but fantasise the sneaky destruction he would be capable of!

Teleportation over a distance of 500 meters was no joke for someone with the right mind for it!

[Jolt Ray] and [Jaggered Merger] were ridiculous too and Skullius couldn’t imagine what kind of power he would be able to use if he got his hands on that stuff!

He had yet to even see some of these skills in action but was already excited!

His bones rattled as he found himself truly wanting this staff!

They itched for him to get that treasure at all costs!

Against all odds!

Something that he had recently attained surged up once again as the Penetrator felt his will for self preservation and his will to trudge on clash against each other, but both being eclipsed by this suddden force which combined both for the ultimate benefit!

Confidence!

As someone who had survived an encounter with an Arch-Lich, he couldn’t let his ability to try be undermined!

The Vehement Bone Nullmancer had to show boldness and audacity as the one the Voice of Worlds said would conquer kingdoms!

For now, he just had to find an opening to escape and then await for the slightest slip in the creature’s movements.

He didn’t need to overwhelm it or to even attempt to kill it before he acquired the staff!

This was doable!

Above the Penetrator, the mini-deadlock slash staredown finally ceased.

As the winds blasted against each other in a vicious storm, Unbreakable suddenly leaned over, his other hand outstretched as he gripped the Elder Totality Galemonger’s tentacles, pulled the creature over to him and gave the octopus-like creature’s bulbous head a chill-inducing head-butt!

A crisp sound echoed at this attack, the Galemonger’s skin breaking apart as blood poured from the where it had collided with Unbreakable’s noggin!

This was the second bloody bruise to its head and it seemed more brutal than the last!

The creature drew back as its mind spun but Unbreakable’s hold remained firm over its tentacles!

The dark-haired man’s body billowed with incredible power, his gaze falling firmly on the creature once again!

Traces of fear began to show in MaelStorm’s slanted, slit-like eyes as he looked at the figure of the seemingly indestructible man it was pitted against!

How was this man so powerful when it had the same purple core as him with a natural treasure in tow to boot?!

Away from this visual clash, Skullius who saw Unbreakable’s attention turn to the Galemonger immediately made his move!

[Guard Light]!

Skullius activated a skill that pushed out mana from his body in a bright flash that created a protective encasing which outlined his entire form!

The moment this skill manifested over his body, Unbreakable felt his hand being pushed away by the mass of protective light, relieving the Penetrator from the vastly overpowered man’s hold by a mere inch!

As he felt the release, Skullius activated all the basic skills that formed his pseudo skill, ‘Radiant Awakening’ as well as [Artless Dodger] to move as fast as he could away from the human monster!

Unbreakable didn’t turn his head or pay any heed to Skullius.

There was no place that this creature could escape to anyway.

He thus gave his full focus to MaelStorm who upon seeing Skullius’ move made one of his own as he sensed Unbreakable’s attention on him waver for half a moment!

Its [Jolt Ray] was ineffective against Unbreakable!

Its wind attacks were didn’t work at all!

Nothing could break Unbreakable!

So, there was only one thing left in its arsenal to try!

[Jaggered Merger]!

A burst of wind spun around the creature as it activated this skill from the staff.

Unbreakable narrowed his eyes and immediately drew back a distance as he felt the strange tangling of energies from the staff and the Galemonger.

‘Its wind attacks… ‘ Unbreakable thought. ‘From being able to draw mana and air into its body, to expelling the air as pressured pulses capable of… this much destruction. That’s all its capable of. But… it seems like it has another card up its sleeve…’

Unbreakable watched the Elimparidis Stone Staff turned into an illusory outline that glowed with a reddish light, the whole thing then swiftly sinking into the body of the Galemonger!

An immediate visual effect over MaelStorm registered within the sights of both Skullius and Unbreakable in the next moment.

The tall and purple creature with its floating tentacles suddenly buffed up, its body turning bigger and more muscular with a rising surge in its mana and general presence!

Glowing red cracks started to appear over its body; over the arms and legs and some over its face as with their appearance, it emitted a roar of immense pain!

Billowing winds raged around the creature as it screeched madly, Unbreakable creasing his brow as he shot forward, not giving the Cluster beast a chance to complete whatever it was doing!

His powerful body appeared before the Galemonger, his dark hair that arched with crackling waves of condensed mana swaying every which way, signalling his intent to kill in a singular blow!

Unbreakable threw an uppercut right where the MaelStorm’s tentacles began on its face, his punch bearing a sharp force that caused the creature’s skin to ripple intensely while the surroundings were flattened and scattered with a heated ignition!

BOOM!

This time however, the Galemonger didn’t fly off from the force!

It bled from behind the tentacles, but it didn’t look as pained or hurt, as it merely staggered.

‘It’s become sturdier…’ Unbreakable thought with the wrinkling of his facial skin.

His opponent’s eyes turned into crescents as it revealed its glee, its arms shooting with an incredible speed as it grabbed ahold of Unbreakable’s wrists, cocked its head back and smashed it into the dark-haired man’s face after a set of after-images!

The impact was ridiculous as it prompted Skullius to block the ferocious winds that came of it by crossing his arms!

Much like the Galemonger had not accrued much damage from getting hit by Unbreakable however, the dark-haired man was the same, except he didn’t accrue any damage at all!

. He simply glared at the Cluster beast with sharp eyes!

MaelStorm grunted and sucked in a deep breath with a grating wheeze that resounded within a large range!

The air was pulled on with a horrendous suction, the mana also falling prey to this effect!

The draw exerted itself upon Skullius and he found the mana in his core seeping out in vast amounts at a ridiculous rate!

…!

‘The hell?!’ the Penetrator felt his mana being drawn on with him being able to do absolutely nothing about it!

The same thing occurred with Unbreakable as he felt his mana being pulled from his core but a vastly slower rate than anyone else!

This natural ability again!

It was a perfect fit for a monster as unlike humans, they could level up and evolve without restrictions which made their environments mostly wild as it was a kill or be killed situation.

For humans who had to face Tasks and Trials, the prospect of going around killing each other for cumulative mana experience was beyond them as it wouldn’t matter how much mana experience they had if they couldn’t pass a Task or Trial.

Just because of this creature’s ability, Unbreakable knew that if it was left unchecked, it could evolve extremely quickly and become a real threat!

Thus, the Galemonger had to be killed.

‘I put half of my strength into that latest punch… My damage output while I’m holding back isn’t enough to bring it down unless we fight for hours. Unfortunately, my technique can’t last that long… If I use my full strength while on the ground, I might kill everyone in the city. I need support…’ the man thought as his gaze turned to Skullius who was a distance away, standing like a statue.

The Penetrator noticed this piercing gaze and grew vigilant while shaking himself of the apprehension that came with him being unable to stop his mana from leaking towards the Cluster beast.

“You’re the one who helped with that lightning from the sky, right?” a voice travelled with the wind over to Skullius.

Skullius shuddered as he knew it came from Unbreakable.

What was the significance of answering this question?

The Penetrator paused for a bit before nodding.

“Then let me employ your help to take down this thing…”
