Chapter 52: God Beast 2
The God Beast’s transformation sent chills through Raiden and the others, and the assassin, even while fighting Leo and Speed, couldn’t stop laughing—intrigued by the sheer danger everyone was in.
However, he wasn’t the only one laughing. Raiden was too. With euphoria filling every inch of his body and his skin twitching, he couldn’t help but want to see the beast’s blood spilled.
And obviously, everyone around him noticed that too. "No..." Freya said, gesturing for Raiden to stop, but she was too late.
His body moved on its own volition as he swung his sword toward the beast’s neck. Though the creature’s head wasn’t fully regenerated yet, it somehow saw the attack coming, caught the blade with its bare hand, and shattered it into pieces.
Raiden’s expression darkened in an instant, and he flipped backward, creating a gap between him and the beast. His heart began pounding as the adrenaline rush completely washed away.
His eyes darted toward the beast, his mind racing, each thought spiking his temperature. The same sword that had cut through the beast’s head with ease was caught barehanded and shattered by the monster without drawing a single drop of blood. What was going on?
"I think it evolves whenever it dies," Freya said, and her expression darkened as she lowered her guard.
"We need to finish it off with a single attack—one that it can’t recover from. Otherwise, it would grow stronger to the point where we’d all die." The flames around her stopped.
Raiden also let down his guard as he watched Freya approach Ash, who still remained at the house’s forefront. He knew immediately that she had a plan to destroy the God Beast instantly.
"Can you guys hold it off for a moment?" Freya said, but before Raiden could respond, the beast had finished regenerating and appeared before Soul.
The beast moved so fast that the only evidence of its movement was the wind that followed in its wake.
