Chapter 70: Second Form! II
Chapter 70: Second Form! II
Kitsuul.She dropped from the skies.
Not from an Entropic Rift.
Not from a lab within a Beast Corporation.
But the skies.
From space? Damian couldn’t say for sure.
All he knew was that she was special.
And at this moment, she truly showed herself- as from the silver-furred six-tailed fox that once fit on his shoulders before...
What Damian now stared at was astoundingly pristine.
She towered at... seven or eight meters tall!
Kitsuul’s transformed form shimmered like moonlight draped in shadows. Her sleek, silver fur glowed with a subtle, starlike sheen as if she didn’t belong here, but out among the distant stars.
Each of her nine tails flowed, trailing stardust and moving with eerie grace. Etched across her body were shifting patterns of silver starfire, her form glowing as if she were the moon itself in that moment.
Her limbs were now encased in spectral silver armor- glimmering, obsidian-silver plating that hummed with quiet power.
Two ethereal silver wings sprouted from her back, translucent and veined with energy, pulsing like the heartbeat of a star.
She was no longer merely a Beast.
She was like a myth of the moon and stars come alive before him.
"Beautiful..."
Damian couldn’t help but whisper.
Kitsuuuuul~!
Kitsuul was embarrassed and let out a meek howl.
[This is just one of the forms I can take right now, Master. The other is actually similar to Master!]
...!
A form similar to him?
Would that not be... human?
He was astonished by this, but just then...
"ROAAR!"
A Lightning Drake rose from a shattered red mountain in the distance, its eyes cold and enraged as it looked around.
Its left wing was dented and torn, as though a high-speed rail had smashed into it, blood flowing freely.
[Let me take care of this little fly, Master. The other ones can’t even scratch a hair on your skin.]
...!
Kitsuul said this as her massive form vibrated, the wings on her back flashing as she disappeared like silver light into the crimson skies, her jaws opening to release a beam of silver light toward the Lightning Drake.
BOOM!
The booming impact was shocking as the Lightning Drake battled an invisible enemy!
At the same time, Damian received another message from Kitsuul.
[Oh, I also gained control to stop absorbing Entropic Energy from this Domain, Master. It should be functioning normally again.]
...!
The Entropic Domain they had entered... should be functioning normally!
Damian’s eyes brightened at this as he looked around, seeing the remaining Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beasts and Initiate Entropic Beasts swarming toward them.
He turned to Lyra and Serena and spoke authoritatively.
"Grab those who are alive and try to get out again."
...!
"What?!"
Lyra shook her head incredulously as Damian was already moving, going ahead and checking Ariana’s pulse. When he confirmed she wasn’t dead...
He raised one hand and effortlessly lifted the body of the beast pinning her down.
He then picked up Ariana’s body and brought her over to Lyra, his movements quick as he rushed toward the distant red earth where the crumpled form of Guardian Flameborn lay.
An Initiate Entropic Beast was inches away from her and about to bring its massive limbs down- but Damian threw out a simple seeming punch that...
BOOM!
A punch that knocked the Entropic Beast back like a ragdoll, even though its body was massive!
He then checked Guardian Flameborn- barely a pulse.
He raised her mangled body and took two wide steps to reach Lyra again, handing her the body as she and Serena looked at him in astonishment.
But they still weren’t moving, so he became stern and looked them in the eye as he spoke again.
"You two actually want to live, right? Get a move on!"
...!
With those words, they finally began to move. Serena’s black scales receded as she went to check on multiple Trial Guardians.
As they did this...
BOOM!
Impacts echoed in the distance, and nearby, the Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beasts and Initiate Entropic Beasts lunged forward!
"Therion!"
Lyra called out Damian’s fake name as she dragged two bodies away, nearing the portal. She looked back at Damian, who stood tall as if he could somehow hold off the Entropic Beasts to buy them time.
But... how?
And when she looked over his shoulder, bathed in silver light, she couldn’t help but wonder...
Where was Kitsuul?
But...
"Go!"
Damian bellowed as he punched a rushing Initiate Entropic Beast, flinging it back like a toy again.
Serena had grabbed Becca and her hound, moving quickly to join Lyra near the purple rift. They turned to look at Damian’s figure- now standing before a Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beast.
Lyra went pale, tears falling down her face, but Serena gritted her teeth and pulled her toward the portal.
And this time...
SHAA!
There was no rejection.
They passed through.
Damian looked back as he saw this and nodded, his eyes turning icy as he faced the Winged Armadillo Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beast that actually smashed its body into him.
But he stopped it with a single hand. Because at this moment... he shared 100% of Kitsuul’s Entropic Energy Values.
Just 1% of his veiled power on the Visors showed the number...
[750 Entropic Energy Value – Tier III Initiate Interstellar Beast Master]
750.
That was 1%.
Meaning his actual Entropic Energy Values... towered at 75,000!
A Tier II Symbiotic Resonance Interstellar Beast Master!
Far stronger than the past Guardian Flameborn.
Far stronger than a Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beast with barely 5,000-something Entropic Energy Value!
So...
"Blood."
He spoke the word heavily as he brought both hands to the Winged Armadillo, fingers like spears wrapped in silver light. He dug into the Symbiotic Resonance Entropic Beast’s body and... began to pull it apart.
RIIIP!
A gush of blood and gore bloomed, and the behemoth of a beast... was dead.
In the distance, the Lightning Drake cried out weakly- its last dredges of life vanishing, utterly outclassed.
"Blood!"
Damian cried out again, as if practicing what he would one day do to the Drunken Butcher.
He jumped toward the Entropic Beasts ahead of him, ripping apart any in his path.
Rivers of blood began to flow across the red earth!
