Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1286: Disappointment (3)

Yet still...

Several horrendous crunches rang through the body of the Cavern as the ground below it bellowed in agony.

The replica, if it truly could feel things as well as its original body could, was not feeling too good. Even if its body remained intact for the most part, the pain from the shock gushing

through it was too great to ignore.

Skullius scoffed.

The original Cavern with the black flames streaked round its replica and with impeccable speed, it sent a rush of attacks at Skullius\' body with its two red sabres!

Skullius grinned. He dodged cleanly each time the edges of the sabres attempted to kiss him; he ducked, sidestepped, dropped to the ground, and sent his foot crashing into the leg of the great Cavern. The impact was absurd. 44 billion units of weight supporting Skullius\' foot, along with a generous amount of Amras sent the Cavern\'s leg flying.

The creature groaned, teetered, lost its balance, and Skullius grinned at it even more. He flew into its face, and hammered it square with a punch infused with maximum tonnage, minus Amras to keep it alive.

BOOOOM!

The friction from the creature\'s sinister flight across the region shook the land and lit up the forests and houses it coursed above. However, before it could land, Skullius had appeared; he yanked its foot, spun it and sent it flying back the way it had come.

His nimbus had turned faint, no more than a vague trail of smoke hanging behind him like a cape, leaving his naked upper body and black pants exposed.

The Hybrid Luman didn\'t relent.

Surely, this wasn\'t all there was to this guy with how menacing he looked.

The great Cavern\'s face looked like a ruined pie. The one punch it had received from Skullius had already messed it up bad.

It grunted.

Blobs of flesh bubbled where it extended its hand, forming a new body. Its soul swiftly transferred from its old body into the new one.

Skullius was pleased.

\'Whatever makes you fight better,\' he thought.

He sensed a nuisance behind him. The other Cavern was soaring above him, and charging Exora Amras. In the next instant, something akin to a luminous demarcated line, like one would find on a ruler, appeared between it and Skullius.

The line suddenly extended, and the Hybrid Warmoth found himself getting pushed towards the large Cavern on the ground below. The creature retrieved its swords and prepared to assault him with its full might.

Skullius found that he couldn\'t simply extricate himself from the situation. His trajectory was fixed, at least without using Andori of his own for other forms of movement.

\'Is that another Andori?\' Skullius thought as he was forced to approach the giant foe.

The creature dived at him the moment he was in close range and swung one of its sabres with astounding skill. Skullius was so surprised that he was a little late in reacting. He ducked to the side, but his lower right arm ended up getting nicked by the sabre\'s edge.

Apparently, that was enough.

\'Hmmm?\'

Right where a small, narrow cut was made on his skin, what looked like boils suddenly festered around it and the flesh on the arm was suddenly sucked into the cut!

It happened so fast. It was as though his arm was eating itself, as though the little cut was a little mouth with an insatiable appetite for its own flesh.

Before his whole arm collapsed in on itself in less than a microsecond, an extremely thin, pale silver line sliced through Skullius, ridding him of the arm. The Hybrid Luman had just used [Ruining Cutter].

He watched as his arm completely fed on itself to extinction in an instant.

The great Cavern seemed invigorated by the small victory and was already trying to slice Skullius up for a fifth time by the time this happened. (Skullius had been dodging all the while). However, at the same time the Cavern missed him with its right saber, Skullius landed a cruel blow on its elbow with his lower right hand!

There was nasty crunch!

The great Cavern was alarmed.

It couldn\'t comprehend how Skullius had a lower right arm when he had just been forced to sever it less than a nano-instant ago.

The Cavern couldn\'t have known, but Skullius\' Third Grand Tier Andori, [Sagacious Antiphon of Dawnlight] impressed nodes onto each and every one of Skullius\' cells, prompting healing to commence the instant Skullius received a blow. When he sliced his arm off, a new one was already growing before the other one fell off and collapsed in on itself like dying star!

"Oh, you don\'t even know the half of it!" Skullius cried with a grin, dodged another swing by the great Cavern, and sent two [Ruining Cutters] slashing through its shoulders, severing its arms completely!

The creature shrieked in agony, but immediately formed another body, and dove into it. Even though Skullius could have attacked in that instant before the creature\'s soul entered the new body, he let it be. He was suddenly feeling merciful. After all...

[\'Entropy\'s Harmonising Nimbus\' has noted the use of the World rank Exotic Parlous Nature, \'Flawless Reinvention\'. It intends to analyse, modify and create a new Parlous Nature based on its findings with an input of 23,000,000 Null Life Essence. Will you allow it?]

Skullius would have been a fool to say no.

Right then, he felt himself get dragged backwards.

The ethereal line from the other Cavern\'s Andori was still attached to him, it seemed.

Apparently, it could adjust the distance between the Cavern and the target as many times as it

wanted, and to maximum stretches of distance unknown.

Skullius felt himself draw closer to the smaller Cavern, but it moved out of the way and allowed him and the demarcated line representing its Andori to extend way past it and into

the further sky at rapid speed!

\'Now this is an interesting Andori,\' Skullius thought.

The winds blasted on his back as he pierced through Suzamete\'s body.

However, he couldn\'t allow this farce to go on any longer. He was quickly disappearing into the clouds at this point.

The [Entropy\'s Harmonising Nimbus] became thick and robust once more and Skullius drew from it a small, double-bladed dagger with strange spheres along both blades.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was the Tainted Lycan\'s Siphoning Claw, a Realm rank Treasure!

Skullius brandished the Wicked Treasure in front of him and activated its Absolute Wicked

Property.

Far beyond him, where the glow of the growing line from the Cavern\'s Andori connected to it, the creature noticed its entire body turn to a shade of blue.

But not only that, everything on the ground below it, including its fellow Cavern with the dark flames and the surrounding area was dyed in a sullen blue tone as well.

Everything there... was marked.

...And with as violent of a nature as one would expect from a ravenous wolf tearing through its prey, great, dark claws, shining like polished steel stabbed their way out of the two Caverns and ground in the dozens, granting both physical agony, damage and TAINT!
