Chaos Devourer Syste Chapter 38 - 37:

Chapter 38: Chapter 37:

I couldn’t tell if the creature’s acknowledgment was a good thing or bad thing...

Crasssshhhhhhh!!!!

The claw ripping through my armor answered that question for me instantly..

"Bad... definitely bad.." I groaned, plucking myself out of the floor..

After acclimating myself to my newly evolved skill I’d decided to initiate round two...

That’s when everything changed..

If before the creature had been playing with an insect, now it was fighting like it actually meant it..

And what did that mean for me?

Clankklkk!!!!

Absolute mayhem...

The massive blade in my hands clashed against the hard claws of the beast...

It’s massive claws easily able to flatten a building...

Roooarrrrr!!!

The creature roared.

I could feel dissatisfaction in its voice...

Almost as if it was saying "this wasn’t what I wanted" it seemed disappointed in what I’d been showing the last few clashes...

"Hooooo...alright... get your head in the game D." I tightened my grip on my sword...

The newly evolved

churning violently within me...

I could feel my control over the atmosphere subtly returning.

I wasn’t so helpless anymore..

With that thought, I willed myself forward..

Boooom!!!!!

The air parted as I swung my sword upward..

Swoooooshhhh...

A claw strike descended like judgement from the skies...

The clash looked comical, like an ant trying to shake an elephant..

And truly, I was an ant, but only in size, because the moment out attacks collided...

Booooom...

The sky ruptured...

Booom...

The surrounding terrain shifted...

What was once a majestic mountain range had been turned into a field of pure carnage and destruction...

We didn’t care..

We moved..

Faster than sound..

Faster than thought..

Each strike seemed to strengthen my next attack even more, yet it wasn’t enough...

Boooom!!!!

My sword met its claws...

The impact folding the air like paper...

Boooom!!!!!

Its tail slammed into my side..

I was sent flying..

willing the atmosphere to sustain my flight..

I had lost my leverage with

being too weak to matter, but this skill made up for it...

Yet, although it was powerful, it had one flaw that set it apart from my talent..

The cost..

I could feel my energy dropping faster than it’d ever had..

I had always felt like I had a monstrous energy tank but this.. this made me feel the drain..

’I need to end this fast..’

Better said than done when you had a prehistoric behemoth swinging a house sized tail at you...

Fwoooosh....

I swung my sword, trying to parry..

Boooooommmmmm!!!!!!!

The clash was apocalyptic.

Sound vanished for a heartbeat.. then everything collapeoay once..

I was sent flying back...

Rooarrrrr!!!!!!! The creature’s frustrated roar rang out once again...

"Damn it..."

Somehow it felt worse knowing I was disappointing this creature than it did being beaten..

"I’m not done yet.."

I attacked...

And attacked...

The creature merely responded..

A claw swipe here...

A tail bash there...

Nothing was working...

was about as effective as as snow against lava..

This thing was shrugging it off like it was nothing...

Rooooooarrrrrrrrr!!!!!

The atmosphere shifted with that roar..

I could feel it..

The storm had returned....

The creature’s massive wings spreading out..

They beat once..

Wooosh....

The storm responded..

The atmosphere turned dark...

The air got heavier...

I felt myself trapped...

The earlier power surge from

trying and failing to keep me steady..

The skill was powerful. Incredibly so..

But it wasn’t enough...

Not against THIS...

The creature’s gaze turned towards me as it opened its maws....

I could feel a dreadful amount of power gathering within those jaws....

A swirling mass energy condensing within it, lighting raged, winds lashed out, the sounds of heavy waters crashing against shores deafening..

A torrent of atmospheric forces plunging into the creatures body as its power spiked even further...

It was done playing..

I could see it in its cold gaze..

Since I couldn’t give it the satisfaction of a challenge, then I’d just be erased completely...

Rooooooarrrrrrr!!!!!!

Woooooooooshhhhhhhh

With a thunderous roar the energy crashed towards me..

A beam of pure carnage and destruction..

I tried to move, but it was futile.

Its grip on me was final..

Booooooom!!!!!

The attack struck true...

And I felt it instantly...

It tore right through my torso, tendrils of the condensed energy spreading throughout my body...

I could the essence of the attack slowly undoing my very being..

This wasn’t an attack..

It was an unmaking....
