Born in Blood Chapter 449 Fine

Rank 5 Zeniths were very proud creatures.

The magical beasts and humans alike.

All their base qualities, like what they liked, enjoyed, disdained and found pleasurable, was multiplied as they reached the higher ranks.

And that ant that, for sothing that wasn't equal to its level, the Rank 5 Red Fang didn't deem Liam worthy enough to face.

Contrary to popular belief, spiders were actually quite pragmatic, not thrill-seeking hunters.

Well, with the exception of so species.

They were cold blooded creatures that fed only when necessary, secluded themselves in uninhabitable zones, and didn't even value kinship.

Like the ones Liam was ripping apart and had beco.

'Am I unworthy in your eyes?' Liam thought to the spider, strangely serious. 'You want to co to you?'

That's exactly what the spider wanted him to do.

If Liam walked into that cave, he'd be dealt with instantly.

Pragmatic as they were, spiders didn't accept disrespect like every other animal.

Not even a Rank 1 would be spared.

Rarely did they leave their caves for an attack on its pack, which could more or less take care of itself.

…Liam wanted to test that out.

"I'll use your fangs to pick my teeth!" Liam shouted at the towering mountain, but there was no response.

A mont later, Liam appeared next to a massive Rank 4 Red Fang.

The creature instantly whipped around with its whole body.

They were fast!

A scythe-like claw aid to rip Liam in half.

But Liam was faster.

The King's Eye felt everything in slow motion.

And Spirit Sight gave him access to the spider's weak spots.

Through his special vision, he could see how their cores were lodged in between their thorax and abdon.

However, the cores also fueled their abdons and other areas of strength.

Since the silk they produced was combustible, it was obvious their fire elent ca from their cores.

For other magical beasts, even if their cores were shattered, they could still continue fighting with their physicality.

However, the sa couldn't be said for spiders.

Their bodies were weak.

Their strongest points were their fangs… but the poison glands depended on their cores!

That just left them with two pointy spikes erging from their mouths.

It was pointless.

Despite their obsidian armor, they still had visible weak points.

All they had was imnse speed.

In a swift, fluid motion, Liam used his spidery limbs to twirl around the spider's swipe.

The spider shot a condensed mouthful of black poison at him.

Liam dodged to the side with ease, but to evade, required him to move his entire body.

He wasn't used to that.

It was like losing the ability to creak one's neck to look to the side.

A bit of poison shot past one of his spidery limbs, causing it to sizzle like cooked at.

A mont later, it lted off.

Unfazed, Liam reford it with his blood.

…But sothing was amiss!

Instead of being replaced with the spider's dark-red armor, it was replaced by a patch of human skin!

It looked off putting and out of place.

But just then, as he saw the scythe growing closer and closer, Liam's mind raced to find out why this was the case.

And it didn't take him long to find out why.

What lted off was the spider's flesh, which Liam had taken over through the usage of Admit.

It wasn't his own.

For the sa reason, Liam couldn't actually just conjure more of the spider's anatomy.

He had a limited reserve of the spider's biological mass.

To reform it clearly, he'd have to absorb more of the spiders' flesh.

But Admit was actually on a 'cooldown' of sorts, and Liam felt that it was much, much longer than before.

Damn Opposition.

Just as the scythe was about to give a kiss, Liam used his limbs to propel himself over the Red Fang's thorax.

Then, he sank both his fangs into the Red Fang's hardened chitin.

Just where the abdon t the thorax.

The Red Fang shrieked in pain as its core was slowly liquidated.

But a mont later, a cocoon of crimson strings surrounded Liam.

True to their pragmatic and cold nature, they had included their fellow spider within the cocoon.

Liam knew they were creating a cocoon around him the entire ti.

But he didn't mind!

What was the worst that could happen?

A second later, the cocoon instantly burst with fire.

Everything inside had been filled with blazing flas.

SHHHH!

Liam felt as though he was inside the sun.

Whiteness filled his vision, and fire scread in his ears.

It was then that Liam realized, taking the form of another creature, also ant taking their weaknesses.

He was burning alive.

Although the Red Fangs were fire elentals, their weakness was, surprisingly, fire!

But they couldn't harm themselves with it.

But, didn't Liam have the sa form as the spiders?

He did.

But was he an actual spider?

Did he even have the sa elent?

No, he didn't.

And thus, he was slowly being lted alive.

Despite that, Liam could still think clearly.

'This is fine.'

It was not fine.

He was gonna die.

BOOOOM!

There was a massive explosion where the cocoon of fire had ford.

But it wasn't the result of fire or any particular spell.

It was Chaos.

All the flas had dissipated instantly, revealing a grim and ugly scene.

Liam was no longer a spider.

He had reverted back into a human, if one could even call him that, since all of the biomass he had stored had evaporated.

But the ti for play was over.

Within his sea of consciousness, Liam's ntal waves surged violently.

They were pouring into the slash on his golden ntal sphere.

Hone activated, and it was like the world stopped.

Just 0.03 seconds passed.

Liam used Shadow Blink to teleport around the towering mountain five tis in quick succession, eventually returning him back to his original position.

Each ti, he used his destructive Chaos World spell on the spider infested landscape.

1 second passed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Five thunderous booms echoed through the air back to back.

Thousands of Red Fangs died almost instantly, seeing just a quick flash of red energy before death.

At the sa ti, Honed slashes of darkness and barrages of blood wiped out hordes that managed to survive.

Just like that, 75% of a Rank 5 death zone had been wiped out!

1 second!

But Liam looked like a husk.

A lot of his blood was used in the teleportation.

But a mont later, a Zenith's corpse appeared in his hand, and he bit into it, slightly replenishing his health.

Liam looked at the mountain in the center.

He smiled.

He didn't have to go to the Rank 5 spider.

The spider was coming to him.
