Reborn As An Evolving Monster-Chapter 57 Aurora Borealis, Freezing Spear

As the lioness roared, a blinding light was exuded from her body.

A high amount of Mana was condensed above the Moonlit Feline.

It quickly started taking form.

Noticing that, the Lower Demonic Giant raised its body up.

The pillars of fire and lava immediately seized rising from the ground.

'So its fists need to be in contact with the ground, huh? Interesting Skill...' Mark thought.

The Lower Demonic Giant raised its open palm in the lioness' direction.

Immediately, a huge amount of dark red Aura surrounded Mark's body.

With insane strength, he threw his Dark Corrupting Spear toward the Monster.

The Lower Demonic Giant, whose right eye had been injured, could not see the attack coming.

Mark's spear hit the shining circle on the Monster's chest.

Its whole body shook.

The Lower Demonic Giant took a step back.

The next second, a tear of black blood flowed down its injured eye.

'So the Corruption is working now? That circle is its weak point, isn't it? Mmm...'

The lioness' Mana solidified.

It took the form of a giant spear made of ice.

Although it looked more like crystal than ice.

Focused on his thoughts, Mark did not realize that the Lower Demonic Giant's arm was not lowered.

A ball of fire appeared in front of it.

Aiming at the Moonlit Feline, the Monster used its strongest offensive Magic Skill.

The fire ball became darker and darker.

Its size grew and grew.

Flame Of Chaos, Colossal Fire Ball.

'Shit-'

Before Mark could react, the burning sphere was launched at the Moonlit Feline.

At the same time, the latter launched an attack of its own.

The freezing spear pierced through the air.

Since the Moonlit Feline was not an Underling that was completely under Mark's control, he could not see the lioness' list of Skills.

Had he known the Skill's strength, his heart wouldn't have been beating so fast.

Just like the Lower Demonic Giant's "Flame Of Chaos, Giant Fire Ball" was a Sub-Skill of "Flame Of Chaos", the lioness' attack was a Sub-Skill too.

Aurora Borealis, Freezing Spear.

The two ranged attacks were about to collide. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

The outcome surprised Mark.

As the two attacks collided, a giant explosion that almost burnt Mark took place in the middle of the battlefield.

A fog of black smoke covered the area halfway between the Lower Demonic Giant and the Moonlit Feline.

It was caused by the explosion of the "Flame Of Chaos, Colossal Fire Ball".

An [A-] Ranked Magic Skill.

The next second, something emerged from that fog.

It pierced the Monster's body.

A surprised smirk appeared on Mark's face.

Aurora Borealis, Freezing Spear.

Rank [A].

It was a Magic Skill that used up 100% of the Moonlit Feline's Mana Points.

The freezing Mana started spreading through the Lower Demonic Giant's body.

A layer of frost solidified over its body.

The Monster spread its arms wide and a burning fire started covering its body.

Unaware of its surrounding, the Lower Demonic Giant focused on fighting off the frost.

Meanwhile, Mark was in mid-air.

In front of him, was the Monster's chest.

In front of him, was the ring of fire that was shining brighter than ever.

Mark's whole right arm was covered by red Aura.

'I'm always underestimating...'

A fierce punch landed on the Monster's weak point.

'Your strength, aren't I?'

On the already damaged ring of fire, multiple cracks appeared.

The Lower Demonic Giant was forced to take a step back once more.

The next second, it tried bringing its hands together to squish Mark like a bug.

'Now.' Mark ordered.

Only then, did Levi act.

For a while, he was hanging onto the ceiling, just above the Lower Demonic Giant.

Levi let go of his grip and started falling.

The next second, his body changed.

BAM-

A great Leviathan suddenly fell on the Lower Demonic Giant, pinning it to the ground.

The Monster roared as it tried to push itself back up, but the weight was more than it could handle.

As the Lower Demonic Giant got more and more agitated, the Corrupting Poison spread faster and faster.

The burning fire that covered its body disappeared, and the frost spread.

Mark folded his wings and landed.

Right in front of him, was the Lower Demonic Giant's enraged and gigantic face.

It opened its mouth and a fireball appeared in front of it.

But before it could be launched, Mark's claws pierced through his foe's left eye.

The Lower Demonic Giant was completely blinded.

Not that it mattered to Mark.

He thought of his victory as certain already.

'Weak points. Yeah... Gotta look for them more often.' Mark thought as a high amount of Mana was condensed in front of his arm that was still embedded inside the Monster's head.

An explosion ensued.

[You have defeated a Lower Demonic Giant. 45'000 Gold Coins and 90'000 Experience Points earned.]

[You have leveled up!]

The Lower Demonic Giant's head had been blown up to pieces.

Levi returned to his humanoid form while Mark was busy dusting himself off.

'Still gross.' Mark thought as he lifted what looked like part of the Lower Demonic Giant's brain off his shoulder.

"A strong foe, this one." Levi commented while looking at the dead Monster in front of him, before looking at the great doors beyond it.

'Sure was. Good work.' Mark said as he approached what remained of the Lower Demonic Giant's body.

[Do not consume the Lower Demonic Giant yet.]

Mark was surprised by the sudden message.

'You're saying I should revive it? Since when are you giving advice anyways?'

[Do look below the ring of fire on its chest.]

Mark was puzzled by the message.

After both Mark and Levi struggled to turn the giant around, Mark got on top of its chest.

Using his sharp claws, he dug through its body.

Under the ring of fire, at the place of a heart, a red gem was found.

[Fire Giant Core: [S] Ranked Item.]
