Chapter 357 - Chapter 357

Ali was watching the queen one second and in a split second his head snapped towards the beasts below as the queen's body vanished from the tree top and reappeared directly above the pair of rabbits.

The adult rabbit had a semi-made mud shield forming around his skin the moment the queen alerted his senses but it was too late, actually even with time it wouldn't have mattered, the power of a beast king was something ordinary beasts couldn't compete with.

One of the queen's legs passed through the mud and impaled the thick rabbit hide like it was made out of paper, the sharp metallic leg stabbed through with no resistance, now the queen stood over the large rabbit with its stomach squirting blood everywhere covering the shiny purple exoskeleton with fresh blood.

That all happened in a second as the offspring immediately used its strong legs to spring away with raw instincts taking over but all around it was a foggy silver air that blocked its vision and yet it jumped away.

Ali watched the young rabbit land fifty metres away after such a strong jump but the moment it landed it fell to the ground limp and started spazzing with its fur turning dark and its skin deteriorating fast into dead tissue.

'So this is the Venomous Breath I'm getting, probably not to the same potency', Ali thought observing the thick cloud hanging in the air before the queen who closed her monstrous mouth and stopped spreading the deadly cloud of poison. 'At least it's got a good colour to it', Ali thought as he didn't want to breathe out green clouds, it gave off a disgusting look he thought.

'Let's try and one-shot this thing', Ali thought as he flexed his neck and slowly his right hand started gathering deep black energy around it, it was his aura reinforcing his right hand.

Then red electricity started covering Ali's hand and erratically latching onto the wood around him, which burned immediately from the slightest touch. 'After my Force evolved, so did my lightning. It's stronger now and easier to control, with less Spirit to use with the same power too…', Ali thought as he dumped two more Spirit points right away, and the lightning intensified. Now his right hand was basically shining red from the cloak of lightning covering it. Each erratic zap of lightning that hit the wood pierced through with smoke coming out of the drilled hole in the tree.

'Now to make sure the attack lands on a jumping spider that can basically teleport with that speed', Ali thought as the speed from that jump was faster than he could move and definitely fast enough to escape a surprise attack.

'Shadow, big one', Ali sent a command to the dragon always with him.

The queen was oblivious to the threat looming over it, as Ali was nearly impossible to detect with his stealth, even for a powerful spider with extreme senses. So, thinking it as safe in its own territory, the queen started feasting on its prey, which stopped moving completely. Its human mouth opened monstrously wide and released more of the silver fog, long with acidic green to break down the rabbit's body and eat the softened meat easier.

Just as it was about to dig in, its shadow suddenly expanded, and a huge, shiny white fang that was razor sharp and twelve metres tall flew up from its shadow, aiming for the spider's exposed underbelly.

The tip of the spider's legs shifted as she vanished, leaving behind the dead rabbit. This time, she was a hundred metres above where she was. She had jumped vertically to avoid the sudden attack, her jumping speed ridiculous, to the naked eye, it looked like she teleported instead of jumping, not even needing to gather strength before flying away.

And that's exactly what Ali wanted as now the jumping spider was mid-air and the closest thing she could jump from was its strings below her. Ali didn't miss his timing as the second she was in the air a black portal was open directly over its human head and a glowing red shone over its purple skin with five of its eyes snapping up to stare directly into the frightening purple eyes Ali had borrowed from the Ancient Dragon of Darkness.

Ali stabbed his right hand forward with all the aura he could gather and two points worth of condensed lightning ready to explode…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Ali's hand tore through the queen's head as the power in his hand exploded out burning and destroying the rest of the queen's body sending it flying straight down. Its exoskeleton was shattered and scorched from the lightning and aura, a gaping hole from where the humanoid part was down to its underbelly passing through solid metallic exoskeleton.

And below Shadow opened his giant snout swallowing the dead rabbit and kept his snout open to catch the falling corpse of the queen but suddenly the corpse froze mid-air irritating the hungry dragon who controlled four more razor-sharp huge fangs to extend from the shadows of branches and try to hatch onto the corpse and drag it down but a mental command from Ali stopped it.

"Of course you would use it to help you eat even more", Ali said looking at the large fangs sticking out from the trees. This was Shadow's new power, not only did he grow in size and add even sharper rows of fangs, the dragon now could create these fangs from shadows near him and it cost Ali nothing, he didn't have to use Spirit.

Ali floated next to the corpse and used his right hand still coated in black to cut off its eight legs sending them to his inventory and then straight to Miles through the interface. Once he was done he let the corpse fall and get swallowed by his Dragon.

Ali saw his interface and landed on the ground where he tested his newfound speed and felt a fresh energy in his body from the boost in speed. 'One point is incredible. I can't wait to start killing all of the beast kings, especially the wolf,' Ali thought before he took a normal breath.

'Activate skill Venomous Breath,' Ali thought looking at the interface before slowly breathing out onto the greenery before him. A small cloud of silvery fog escaped his mouth until he ran out of breath, and the skill ended. The fog killed the plants but didn't harm him when he passed his hand through it, the cloud disappeared a minute later…

Ali looked at his interface where the active skill was faded away with a two-hour timer next to it. 'Two hours is fine. It's a low-quality skill compared to Aura, which I can activate whenever I want as long as I have enough Spirit to spend with no time limit to it,' Ali thought comparing the two skills.

[Ali, you have an hour. I'm on my way to them now], Jacob sent Ali a message which Ali read as he patted the thick scales of Shadow, who was still crunching down on the thick exoskeleton with a loud snapping noise.

Ali relayed the message to Miles before he disappeared and ran straight to the predetermined location he and Miles agreed on for the fight. There, dozens of drones were roaming the skies between shorter trees than usual, with some trees completely shattered and some even scorched. This was the territory of a powerful beast king which Ali and Miles were going to put to use.

At the same time in the capital, underground in the same room where they decided on the team of five, X17 was standing in the corner of the room with her futuristic body suit on, including a black helmet that was in the process of fine-tuning with an AI that was specific to fighting Ali, one she created after their duel.

Sitting in a chair at another corner was Silk. He had black hair with brown eyes, a lean body with scars all over it, and light green armour. But most important to him was the weapon on his right hand. It was an Imperial Arms in the shape of a circular metal with thin threads coming out, attached to five pointy metal caps on each of his fingers. He obtained this powerful assassination weapon from the anima Akame Ga Kill.

Pummel Fist was standing in his guild uniform, tense as he tapped his boot, waiting for Jacob to come. Inside, he was getting himself ready for the fight.

Claw, on the other hand, was leaning back in his chair, strongly smoking a roll of weed. That was his way of calming his nerves and preparing for a fight….

And finally, Mateo stood against the wall with his eyes closed. Sparks of electricity would erratically flow over his body from time to time…

Between the five of them in the centre of the room, the table was no longer there. Sitting at the centre of the room was a woman covered by a thick veil, sitting inside of a magical circle inscribed onto the ground with thick black ink. This magical circle was not of this world, as this player from the Shadow Guild would use it to teleport them to Ali's location.

The six waited for the hour to pass when Jacob finally stepped down the stairs and entered the room…

"It's Time", Pummel Fist said, and all five walked into the edges of the magic circle around the woman. Pummel Fist looked at Jacob, who nodded and sent the location to the Shadow Guild player.

She nodded to Pummel Fist, signalling she got the location, before slapping her hands together and whispering an incantation.

[Your Location has been Shared by Friend Tempest Wraith], Ali looked at the notification and closed his interface, looking up at the sky…
