Chapter 646 Sinister Lava

Date- 31 Mar 2321

Time- 15:10

Location- Sky Blossom City, SSS-Rank Legend Grade Unparalleled Arena

A Series of 70 million tonne punches connected with the devil's dried molten lava exterior before it could dodge as the sudden increase in the weight behind the punch caught it off guard.

Faced with Anna's Giga punch, the dried molten lava exterior of the devil cracked, and hot lava started to ooze out of them. By the time the barrage of 70 million tonne punches ended, the devil's shape was beaten into the arena floor comically.

"That hurt!" Saying that, the devil slowly picked himself up from the floor.

"..." Anna was in a dilemma seeing that even a series of 70 million tonne punches could barely crack the devil's tough exterior.

This discovery made Anna reconsider her plan. Because even if she was lucky and were to roll a 12 using the booster dice card, she did not believe that a series of 120 million tonne punches would be enough to put the devil to the ground permanently.

Until now, Anna has used the strong physique that she had gained due to her unparalleled bloodline to overpower her opponents in the battle. But the same was not possible with the devil, as its physique was outstanding and on par with her physique in terms of endurance, strength, agility, and vitality.

Finally, Anna had met her match. Like her mother used to warn her about. Thankfully she prepared her for this particular moment. Anna's mother already knew Anna's weakness. She always asked what Anna would do if she met someone physically stronger than her. Anna's mother also gave Anna the answer to that question and asked her to practice it as if her life depended on it.

"Lava pool!" The devil summoned a pool of Lava which covered the entire arena floor, reaching its waist in height. Alerted, Anna flew up.

"Lava Whirlpools!" With the devil's command, small whirlpools are stated to form in the pool of lava.

"What the!" Anna almost cussed, being caught off guard by the strong suction force generated by the whirlpools in the lava. Making it hard for flight.

"Girl, come down. Let's play in the lava." The devil was skimming between the lava whirlpools nonchalantly. It did not seem to be affected by the suction force of the whirlpools.

…

'The lava summoned by the devil seems different from regular lava. I sense a dark rule power from it.' One of the thoughts commented.

'So you noticed. That lava is a combination of two meanings of two different rules, lava and dark rule. I do not particularly know what meanings of lava and dark rule can form such sinister lava, but I know the ability of the lava.

That Lava doesn't burn up things. Instead, it sucks their essence out of them. When the items are entirely deprived of their essence, they turn to dust, just like how items turn to ash when wholly incinerated. Therefore unless you experience the power of the law firsthand, you don't know what it actually does. And also, just because it sucks the vitality doesn't mean it doesn't burn. It burns like hell.' The wild thought explained the specialty of the devil Feastus's sinister lava.

'Whoa, so interesting what happens to the essences devoured by the lava? Does the lava use it to multiply, or does it feed the extracted essence to the devil?' An enthusiastic thought asked the wild thought interested in the sinister lava and its working.

'Both depending on the will of the devil. Because of this ability, fighting prolonged warfare with this devil is not recommended. It's like an inexhaustible killing machine.' The Wild thought answered based on its experience.

'How does the extracted essence be made use of by the devil? Other than refiling its stamina.' Asked the thought from earlier.

'Since the essence is a form of life force, it can be used for various bodily purposes like regeneration, and strengthening, both are just the two out of many ways the devil used the essence against me in our fight.' The wild thought replied patiently.

'Then, how did you defeat such an enemy? You didn't even have the advantage of location or the world's suppression, like this girl. The devil must have been more challenging than it is now.' One of the younger thoughts asked the wild thought in awe.

'Since the devil constantly feeds on its surroundings, it needs to keep moving to find a new vitality-filled place to devour. So using that, I tricked the devil into a trap array formation laid by my friends. The trap array formation would seal all the devil's abilities, leaving it with mere physical strength. And making use of the opportunity, I slew it. Thankfully I had good council back then. Otherwise, I would not have made it this far.' The wild thought narrated how it used the help of its friends to trap the devil and slay it for good.

'So, you did not slay it alone. In the end, you had help.' Asked the old famine thought. She seemed to be taking a dig at the Wild thought's inability to defeat the devil Feastus all by himself.

'So, what? I had friends that I could depend upon. They can also be counted as a part of my strength.' The Wild thought was not embarrassed, rather, he seemed to be happy remembering his dependable old pals.

'Don't tell me you believe that crap!' The old feminine thought did not seem to agree with the wild thought that friends can be considered part of a person's strength.

'Why not? If Summons and familiars can be considered as part of a person's strength, then me being able to summon a dependable friend to help me should also be regarded as part of my strength.' The wild thought argued. His reasoning made sense to a few people, but many disagreed. According to the opposition, just because its father is a demigod, the two-year-old child cannot be considered as strong as a demigod.
