Chapter 986 - Dead End
Chapter 986 Dead End
A deafening roar rang throughout the skies!
Third Grade Thunder Dragon Arms beat his wings and soared through the air with the arrogance of an emperor descending upon his empire, bending slightly to look at the shadow cutting through the forest.
His emerald eyes were fixed upon the figure hastily fleeing into the distance.
Natagu had long since exhausted his bloodline power after the grueling and bloody battle at the volcano. He had been forced out of his serpent form and had reverted to an ordinary human. It also unavoidably reduced his Physique slightly.
Consequently, the wounds and pain that he could endure as a serpent became even more unbearable as a human!
Natagu quickly flew over the trees, still coughing up blood as he did so.
Purple-black blood wouldn’t stop flowing out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His face was twisted in a vicious look, and his overall appearance could not be any more terrible. However, he could not be bothered about his image at the moment. All of his attention was focused on escaping the pursuit of the enemy behind him.
Flames erupted in the clearing of the forest, and Greem coughed as he walked out from the fire, just in time to intercept Natagu.
After a short and brief exchange of attacks, Natagu let out a wild scream, his eyes filled with blood. A fearsome halo of poison erupted outwards. To enhance the lethality of the poison halo as much as possible, Natagu even sacrificed his blood essence.
As the sickly green halo spread through the forest, all substances within one square kilometer, be they plant or animal, were reduced to a radioactive glowing green liquid the instant they came into contact.
Even with the Burning Domain to protect himself, the poison halo still managed to invade into the space around Greem. The dark red flames became sickly green as the poison advanced.
Greem let out a subtle grunt. He then used Sodden’s Holy Ring to quickly convert the powers of fire around him into holy power, setting up several layers of defense. It was only through the Purification powers of the holy light that he managed to defend himself against the poison.
After surviving the attack, Greem stood up straight and looked around him. He couldn’t help but be horrified.
Natagu had completely and utterly vanished. That terrifying poison had melted his body, soul, and his equipment. Meanwhile, all the plants within a square kilometer had turned into a bright green poison liquid, including the towering trees, vines, and bushes that covered on the ground. The entire area had been turned into a land of poison void of life.
Natagu self-destructed?
What a ruthless man!
Greem couldn’t help but exclaim, even as he was shielded by layers of holy light.
However, just as he was shouting at the death of a Third Grade adept, a statistic projected by the Chip attracted his attention.
[……Soul Completeness 63%……]
Hm? What was this?
The Chip had estimated the completeness of Natagu’s soul based on that one attack he had unleashed before his death. It was only 63%. That was odd!
Without the Chip’s data, Greem might have been stunned by Natagu’s decisiveness and ignored the oddities of his death. Given his personality and way of doing things, was Natagu the kind of warrior to sacrifice his own life to take down the enemy?
Given Greem’s observations over the past few years, Natagu was not only not a warrior, but an extraordinarily sly and wily adept with plenty of schemes and plots. If he genuinely had to die, Greem was certain that he would rather get on his knees and beg for mercy than commit suicide.
Given that to be the case, Natagu’s self-destruction now felt like more of a trick to hide the incompleteness of his soul.
Greem lifted his head and looked at the path where Natagu had traveled. A cold and dangerous light gleamed in his eyes.
Hmph! A 37% soul completeness was more than enough for a full revival when used with specific secret techniques!
