MONSTER PARADISE

1581 - 1600

Nine Gloom was fast, but the flame giant was even faster.

In merely ten minutes or so, the flame giant had caught up with Nine Gloom.

The sole of the giant’s massive foot came stomping down without hesitation, and the entire surface of the ground collapsed.

The cracked ground rapidly began to soften, turning into dark red molten lava that began spreading in all directions and contaminating the area.

The stomp was vicious, but Nine Gloom managed to dodge it in time. Right as the flame giant’s foot came down, Nine Gloom wormed his way out from the ground and just managed to evade the attack.

However, his evasive maneuver had completely exposed his form.

It was a black vine resembling a giant python, with a reflective surface that looked like snake scales.

Just looking at him on his own, Nine Gloom’s size was indeed quite massive, over half a meter thick and at least a hundred meters long. However, right now, in the presence of the flame giant, he was not so different from a mudfish.

At this moment, fisherman and mudfish seemed to have exchanged positions.

Nine Gloom knew that he could not escape now.

While he observed Silver Armor’s altered form quietly from close range, he also rapidly checked the revenants’ imprints, attempting to summon them again.

“Silver Armor, why don’t we just end the battle here.” Nine Gloom tried to buy himself some time. “Look, we’ve shown all of our trump cards. If we continue battling it out, it will be a fight to the death. There’s no need to go to that extent…”

However, the flame giant completely ignored what Nine Gloom said. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the huge palm of flame came down in the direction where Nine Gloom was.

The sky seemed to collapse as the massive palm hurtled down.

Nine Gloom did not dare to mount a direct resistance and swiftly teleported once again.

He could not outrun this current Silver Armor, but he could at least teleport a short distance to avoid any attacks.

The flame giant flew into a mad rage when the attack missed and began striking wildly at everything around him. Nine Gloom’s mind loosened up, and he began to think.

Silver Armor’s mind was obviously immature when he was in this state. One could even say that he was completely functioning on battle instinct alone.

Although his opponent was very powerful in this state of being, for Nine Gloom, there was a fatal flaw in it.

This was because when fighting while being controlled by instinct, Silver Armor did not have the ability to be calculative. He could only function in a very straightforward manner, and all of his actions could be predicted at a glance.

This relieved Nine Gloom’s mind. He did not hurry to escape; instead, he remained where he was and dealt with the flame giant.

While dodging the flame giant’s repeated attacks with ease, he planned his next attack.

The sudden explosion caused by Silver Armor’s transformation had destroyed almost all of the revenants that Nine Gloom had summoned.

Most of them had not only been destroyed on a physical level, but even their soul imprints had disintegrated as well.

At this level of obliteration, Nine Gloom had no way of summoning these revenants again.

However, fortunately, there were still a handful of revenants that had only been destroyed on the physical level—their soul imprints were still intact. Not only that, the few that remained were the most powerful of the lot.
