Chapter 508: Mutation (1/2)
Duna was surprised by Leon's straightforward answer and wondered if she should have demanded more.
However, it was too late to change her mind since Leon had already accepted. Besides, she was not that unscrupulous.
”Alright.” Duna nodded.
Shortly after, the power of destruction manifested in her palm before she waved them at the approaching tentacles.
The fleshly red tentacle arms and legs were immediately vaporized into ashes when they came into contact with the wall of destruction before it continued onwards, straight towards the fleshly abomination's main body.
Kriiiii!
The fleshly abomination exhibited its fear before retreating from the invisible wall of destruction advancing towards it.
However, its main body was incomparably slow compared to its tentacle limbs and failed to outrun the destruction wave before half its main body was cleanly shaved away from existence.
Kriiiii!
A piercing scream was heard, resounding throughout the underground space before the other half of the fleshly abomination quickly attempted to regenerate its missing half, albeit at a much slower rate than it had previously showcased.
”Duna, quickly finish it off!” Leon shouted with a frown. He was concerned that the fleshly abomination's cry would attract more powerful enemies towards them.
”I know! I don't need you to tell me what to do!” Duna responded unhappily with furrowed brows, not expecting her first attack to be insufficient.
The slight crack on her hand expanded, spreading through her fingers as a result of wielding the Destruction Law. Nevertheless, it was far from reaching the same level as last time.
Another wave of destruction was birthed into existence, gathering around the tips of her finger with a gloomy crimson glow.
Evidently, this concentration of destruction was greater than her previous attack as its form could be partially seen like a black hole, except eerily crimson in color.
At the same time, the tips of her fingers cracked at an accelerated rate.
However, Duna did not hold the power of destruction for too long and sent it shooting towards the escaping fleshly abomination.
Kriii—!
The fleshly abomination was struck as the power of destruction shaved off another portion of its body before making its way towards the standing energy conversion tower and disintegrated it into dust.
”Tch!” Duna snickered at her unexpected miss.
Before she could summon the power of the Destruction Law again, the fleshly abomination collapsed to the ground with a thud.
”Did it just die?” Duna gazed at the motionless corpse that started rotting as black blood flowed out of its body.
”It seems this thing had a weakness hidden somewhere in its body, and you had inadvertently destroyed it,” Leon spoke after analyzing the fleshly corpse.
The internal structure of the fleshly abomination was not much different from humans. In fact, its flesh was also made from the same components as humans.
The only difference about its internal structure—which was also the most significant difference, was that it had far more organs than a single person should have.
It was like numerous people had been fused together through some sort of diabolic means to produce such a grotesque abomination.
However, of all the organs Leon detected with his divine sense, the heart was missing, and only half a brain remained.
”What kind of weakness could it have? With its powerful regenerative ability, I wouldn't be surprised if it can regenerate its missing organs.” Duna said.
