BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 Abomination
"What the hell is this?" Tank looks at the monster with his eyes wide open as he feels nauseated. The monster\'s head was that of a giant wolf that was seemingly plunged in the body with force as blood was continuously leaking from the neck. It walked on two large feet that were covered in black scales while a dark-green tail came out from its back.
Its long arms came all the way down to its knees as its claws would sometimes brush against the legs and cut apart the skin. The arms were also covered in scales, only that these were of a blood-red color. The torso was covered in gray fur and it had a bulging stomach that had multiple tears on it from which blood and pus leaked out.
The body looked like it was badly mutilated, an experiment gone wrong that should have never lived. The many different parts that were seemingly glued together bled continuously as it opens its jaw and shouts at Tank.
[ Lvl 35 Abomination ]
Description: A monster that lived in places where there were many corpses. This monster is exceptionally weak in the beginning and grows stronger by devouring the corpses and taking the strongest parts of them to create a body for itself. Abominations do not level up like other beings by defeating monsters, they become stronger by consuming corpses and using them to construct more powerful bodies. The higher tiers of abominations gain intelligence and can behave like an animal, some rare ones have the intelligence of humans and they can construct a human body to blend in with society.
"Fucking hell man." Shadow looks at the monster with a scowl as he dodges an attack from the snake, "Hey Wolf, I think you\'re needed more over there!"
"I agree." Wolf sends another Flame Slash to the snake before retreating and charging towards the abomination. His flames were not a good match against the snake, but for a monster that had fur on its torso and head, they were bound to be effective.
The party was now split in two, Reign, Shadow, Greenie, and Laura were fighting against the already wounded snake while Tank, Beast, Wolf, and Beast\'s monsters were charging towards the abomination.
The monster was exceptionally strong, its scales and fur gave it incredibly defense while its raw physical power made it hard for even Tank to block attacks. Its weakness however was the lack of intelligence and the fact it could not use mana.
On the other hand, the snake had incredible flexibility, strength, and defense as well, but Reign could feel mana inside of it, so far it hadn\'t used any kind of power which was weird, it was already wounded and they were certain they could defeat it in a minute or two.
Suddenly Greenie charges at the snake, he uses his powerful legs to jumps high to the side of the snake\'s head in an attempt to deliver a crushing blow with his hammer. A cold glint flashes through the snake\'s gray eyes as it turns its head around and opens its mouth wide. Reign immediately became wary of it since he was able to feel the mana in the snake\'s body moving.
"Shit, Greenie, dodge!"
The snake suddenly spits out a large amount of acid towards Greenie who suddenly drops his hammer. His tattoos suddenly start shinning as he starts punching the air.
"Inferno Eruption, Hundred Strikes of Judgement"
His tattoos suddenly turn into flames that danced around his body, with vigor Greenie starts punching with incredible speed, in mere 3 seconds one hundred punches had been finished, the acid that was coming at him was blasted by the powerful shockwave his punches made.
Sssssss
The acid quickly starts corroding the ground as smoke comes out from the places it fell down on. It was evident that the acid was incredibly powerful and that the snake was waiting for the perfect moment to use it against them, they had underestimated its intelligence and nearly paid a heavy price. They could only imagine what would happen to Greenie\'s body had the acid landed on him.
"Greenie was that from your inheritance?"
"Yes, I managed to fully grasp this one skill so far." Greenie nods at Reign as he smiles, he was having trouble recently with fully taking the inheritance and it bothered him greatly, Reign and the others had become stronger while he was starting to lack behind slightly, but with the inheritance, he had gotten he was certain he can keep being useful to them for a long time.
"Great, let\'s finish this bastard and help the others out!" Shadow now finally understood why his poison seemingly did no damage to the snake, since it already had such strong acid in its body it was of course natural for it to have a strong resistance towards it. Still, he had other skills that he can use against it so he wasn\'t really worried.
On the other side, Wolf and the others were fighting against the abomination with some difficulty. Wolf\'s flames were having an effect and he managed to burn quite a good part of its body, but the scales present on the arms and tail were highly resistant to them, the legs however were a different story, against physical attacks the black scales offered incredibly protection, but for magic type attacks and elemental ones they were much worse compared to the others.
Wolf\'s flames had already managed to burn a good portion of its legs while parts of the scales were actually melting, it was a weird sight as the scales behaved more like metal compared to usual scales.
The ground was filled with the marks of battle as the abomination\'s claws would cut through the hard soil like it was nothing. The strong ironbark trees were being destroyed with relative ease each time the monster slashed towards them with its claws or when it used its tail to deliver a fearsome blow to them.
Beast\'s tamed monsters could barely keep up with the fierce strength of the 4-meter tall monster, even the strongest attacks that Fluffy used were unable to deal any significant damage while Blackie\'s attacks, although more damaging, covered a smaller area and thus the damage inflicted also wasn\'t much.
The lion however was able to deal more damage, its powerful claws were able to cut through the scales on the monster\'s arms and tail without too much difficulty while its strong fangs allowed it to bite off large chunks of the monster. Beast however stopped it from doing so as the lion became weaker the first time he bit the abomination, the black blood from the monster seemed to be poisonous and he didn\'t want to risk the lion dying from it.
"Grawwll!!"
The abomination was slowly starting to become enraged, it noticed a battle previously and its instinct made it join, the monster had previously spent a lot of time in this part of the forest and it was certain that nothing could threaten its life, even in the worst circumstance it could discard a large part of its body and flee. The enemies in front of it, however, were different, they had managed to wound it time and time again while it achieved nothing so far, the strong snake behind them was covered in wounds and blood and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before it was finished off.
The relatively simple-minded abomination decided to risk heavier wounds in order to kill the enemies in front of it before their allies could come over to help. It discards any form of defense and self-preservation and its body starts changing. The many scales covering its legs suddenly fell out, the rotten meat of its legs was now on full display as it changes, it looked like thousands of worms were moving through the legs as its shape changed, that wasn\'t the only thing that changed however as similar things started happening throughout its whole body.
With incredible speed the body had become smaller, from 4 meters to 3, the long arms were shortened greatly and now only came down to its waist. The shape of the legs was different as well, they were no longer as bulky and well defended as they previously were, now a thin layer of brown fur covered them while their thickness was halved.
Its arms were still covered by the red scales while the tail behind it was gone, it was simply dropped on the ground. The torso was also slimmer as it now didn\'t have any fat, strong muscles could be seen on it while thick green skin covered it.
"What the hell, this thing can change its body so quickly?!" Wolf curses as he summons a flame spear, with immense strength he throws it towards the abomination that manages to dodge it with great speed. A trail of blood was left in the air as it suddenly appeared in front of Tank and attacked it with its powerful claws.
Bam!
