Chapter 118: Chapter 34: Chimera with Abnormal Status

"Is this the Great Hero? The legendary Chimera, Levis?"

Upon the ground scorched by Soul Flames, the figure holding up the Bone Staff seemed to be a monstrous amalgamation of numerous creatures.

Back sprouting wings, limbs as robust as a bear’s, body clad in scales, and antlers of stunning beauty crowning its head...

But as the Insect Swarm closed in, Bai Sheng, through the vision of the swarm, noticed something amiss.

What should have been an imposing figure only exuded fear now.

Wrapped in nearly tangible Death Energy, though its muscles were still formidable, there was an abnormal rigidity that seemed out of place in a living being.

Bai Sheng had once seen this aspect on someone else.

"Are all Undead Mages like this? But Zhan Yi hasn’t turned into this ghastly appearance, could it be due to some ability?"

But now, with the most important abilities of the Undead Mage sealed and the Hundred Beasts Army nearly eradicated, coupled with his somewhat off condition, this was when the Chimera was at its weakest!

The Erosion Worms charged into that still scorching air, and at an attainable attack distance, the swarm’s powerful Telekinesis was immediately applied to the target at the center of the clearing, attempting to crush it spiritually.

Given the current number of the swarm, this damage was considerably significant!

However, when the swarm’s Telekinesis reached the body composed of various creatures, it all went through, unable to touch any target.

It was as if, this was not a person, but purely a dead object.

Yet this dead object, could move!

Despite the failure of the first tactic, the Insect Swarm, though slightly disappointed, did not cease its movements.

Since Telekinesis was ineffective, they resorted to close combat!

Even against a Dragon Descendant known for physical prowess, how could it matter?

The Insect Swarm feared no sacrifice!

Individual Erosion Worms stretched their wings, and at an accelerated pace, they formed a rhythmic pattern, thrusting their tail spines and limbs towards the emaciated Chimera.

Skill, Insect Dance!

Even if every claw of the Chimera could disembowel an Erosion Worm, and even if the feathers on its wing could penetrate the worm’s armor.

But every time an Erosion Worm was gravely injured and fell, more Erosion Worms recklessly filled its place the next second.

Under the coordination of the Swarm Consciousness, the Erosion Worms easily broke through the blockage of wings and claws, clinging onto the monster, using their sharp limbs and tail spines to leave wounds.

Even as the monster repeatedly burst the insects on its body with its claws, facing the onslaught that, to avoid Chaos, swiftly took up positions to the extent of queuing, the efficiency of the claws was truly touching to witness.

The densely packed Erosion Worms almost turned the monster into an "Insect Man," which could probably immediately terrify someone with a fear of clusters if they saw it.

And even though the injured Erosion Worms tried their best to splash their blood onto the monster to inflict the final damage, they would be picked up by their comrades and thrown onto the Fungus Blanket behind.

For a Chimera, this Poison Blood was hardly fatal, even if soaking in a Poison Blood Pool, with the Chimera’s self-healing ability having been enhanced several times, he could last for quite a while.

But the problem was, he was no longer purely a Chimera now!

As the tail spines and limbs tore into the Chimera’s body, what was revealed was not writhing Blood Flesh, but a corpse-like rot, the muscles within as if air-dried beef in a north wind, utterly rigid.

Only the skin still carried the essence of a living being, struggling to move in an attempt to heal under the corrosion of the Poison Blood, but the internal muscles remained still, slowly turning into a blackish-red pus under the corrosion, flowing out from the wounds.

The Insect Swarm quickly noticed this anomaly, directly biting, and accelerating the destruction of the flesh.

And this scene was also reflected in Bai Sheng’s eyes, the battles in the past few days with other Transcendents had made him exceedingly familiar with the ability of Transcendent Origin, raising doubts in his mind.

With such a self-healing rate, let alone lower-tier Dragon Descendants, even a Butcher was better!

What exactly had happened to reduce his self-healing speed to such an extent?

And if it were a normal human body, it would have become unrecognizable after such prolonged corrosion, but this strangely conditioned Chimera had only corroded a thin layer of Blood Flesh.

However, the answers to these questions can be explored later; the current priority, of course, is to subdue this Chimera!

A dead Chimera is a good Chimera.

The Chimera, realizing that it could not rid its body of the insects by scratching wildly with its claws, grew increasingly agitated.

It even lost its rationality and attempted to unleash its extraordinary abilities.

Antlers on its head twisted as bolts of lightning struck down upon itself.

The arm-thick lightning pierced through one Erosion Worm after another, knocking all creatures to the ground—

—including itself.

Having transformed into this special state, its resistance to lightning and Holy Light Flames had greatly diminished. If it weren’t for the original body modifications by the Chimera, this might have added an "extra special attack" against it.

But this self-damaging attack did not deter the Insect Swarm; instead, it intensified their attacks, eager to gnaw off more flesh before the next assault.

As an observer, Bai Sheng quickly noticed something he had overlooked.

That bone staff the Chimera always held in its hand was almost completely intact under the Corrosion of the Poison Blood!

Bai Sheng immediately thought of the Undead Mage. His Bone Staff was his weakness, so it was very likely the same for this Chimera!

With this thought, the rhythm of the Insect Swarm’s attack suddenly changed, focusing their main target on the Chimera’s right hand that held the Bone Staff.

But this action triggered a stress response. What originally seemed like stiff movements became incredibly swift. His murky eyes reflected gusts of Wind Blades that erupted at close range and shredded the insect-covered right hand.

He was even willing to endure numerous wounds on his arm as well.

This action was as if he was outright telling Bai Sheng that she was right!

Without a weakness, knowing the weakness makes everything easier.

Bai Sheng was thrilled, while the targeted Chimera was suffering.

Already in a strange state due to the conflict of different Divine Fragments.

Now his body was solely relying on the balance of two forces; if half the force represented by the Bone Staff were lost, he would immediately become a real monster under the power of the Chimera.

He instantly regretted why he had recklessly touched that unidentified Divine Fragment half a month ago.

At that time, no one anticipated that this Divine Fragment would have such high compatibility with him, binding forcefully at the instant of touch, unable to even let go.

This caused a severe conflict between the powers of the Divine Fragment and his innate Chimera powers. On one side was the extreme of Life, while the other held the power of the Dead.

It was only relying on the Chimera’s powerful self-healing ability that allowed him to survive the initial period.

The price was the continuous activation of the two Divine Fragments’ powers in conflict, and eventually, his body became the battlefield of this struggle, turning into his current state.

Regardless of which side’s power was withdrawn, the other would swiftly dominate.

Either turning into a true corpse or having his flesh mutate into a monster.

And what was even more unexpected was that someone took this opportunity to launch an attack on Emilia!

When he noticed this yesterday, Emilia had already fallen a great deal.

Seeing the last city he sheltered also on the brink of destruction, and he was about to die as well.

He held back no longer, deciding that even if it led to mutual destruction, he would inflict more damage on these insects!

Every abnormal limb on his body emitted different extraordinary abilities.

There were lightning and storms, light and flames, icy spikes, and pitch-black spatial rifts...

A dizzying array of extraordinary abilities instantly turned his surroundings into a dazzling storm.

.........

Soul-hooking Bone Staff: This stick is too abnormal; it is continuously eroding my body, contesting for my transcendent position with the Divine Fragment inside me. But I have controlled the Chimera for too long, my body has been completely transformed to suit the Chimera. If this continues, I fear my condition will deteriorate further, but this is the first extra Divine Fragment I have gained; I cannot forsake it...
