Chapter 112: Infecting SS-rank Monster Lord Skarnax With The Monster Virus
When Ainsworth arrived on Earth in a single step, he saw a massive beast standing in the middle of Edenbridge City’s central plaza.
The city was still intact, thanks to the Guardian’s Sanctuary he had deployed earlier, but the air was thick with pressure and mana distortion.
That creature was Monster Lord Skarnax.
It stood over thirty meters tall, its obsidian-black armor covering a powerful beast-like frame. Cracks in its plating pulsed with a molten red glow, like liquid fire flowing beneath the surface.
Each movement caused the ground to tremble faintly, and its four limbs gripped the earth with brute strength. Its tail swayed behind it, tipped with a spiked club that attempted to shatter the pavement wherever it passed.
Its head looked like a distorted wolf’s skull, stretched and reinforced with bone plates. It had six burning eyes, three on each side, that scanned its surroundings with a violent glint. From its wide, jagged jaws, hot breath steamed outward, making the air shimmer unnaturally.
Skarnax slammed its clawed forelimb into the street, trying to break the invisible barrier, but the Guardian’s Sanctuary flared with light and absorbed the blow completely.
Unable to break through with normal force, Skarnax leaned back, and its chest began to glow brighter. The crimson pulse lines across its body throbbed rapidly, and aura gathered toward its core.
It was preparing a charge-based attack, likely strong enough to put serious pressure on the Sanctuary.
Seeing this, Ainsworth narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
"It’s uglier in person," he muttered, cracking his knuckles as golden aura and mana began to radiate from his body.
Before Skarnax could complete his charge-based attack, Ainsworth appeared in front of him with a single step using Freedom Of Movement (SSS), and he then infused his mana and aura into his right palm.
