RISE OF EROS-Chapter 777 - 776
From that moment on, the beast made no attempt to counterattack. It's true that the disparity in strength had existed from the beginning, but the beast dared to launch sneak attacks, hoping to take Crhono by surprise.
Its method of combat was simple. It first concealed itself and then attacked from the most unexpected places. However, for a person like Crhono, who was very alert to his opponent, it was impossible for the beast to succeed.
Any other demigod could suffer injuries from attacks like these, or even be killed, but not Crhono. He was not only intensely focused on the battle, but also recognized the danger of the beast.
From their first encounter, Crhono never underestimated this beast, for he felt great fear. As a divine beast, it could see things that others couldn't, and that's why it was dangerous. While many feared it, they didn't take it seriously enough. free𝑤ebnovel.com
They thought the beast was only good at hiding and sneak attacks, as no one could sense its presence, but Crhono thought differently. To him, the beast had a terrifying growth rate, and the inability to locate or sense it only made it more dangerous.
Fortunately, he now had a method to track it. This might only prevent the beast from fleeing, but it was a huge advantage. Crhono, so wary of the beast, wouldn't let it escape, and thus, the beast wouldn't be able to develop.
He was much more powerful right now, so it was the best time to eliminate it, so he wouldn't let it escape. It was this relentless pursuit that made the beast fearful. She knew Crhono was more powerful than her, but she still thought that, as she had done before, she could escape.
However, she had been wrong. The beast had only just begun to escape when Crhono was following her. The beast immediately understood that Crhono could follow it, making it impossible to escape. If it couldn't escape and couldn't defeat its opponent, it was obvious it would only be a matter of time before it was eliminated.
The beast's survival instinct kicked in, and alarm bells were ringing in its head. It was between a rock and a hard place, so it was desperate. At this point, the battle was like a cat and mouse game.
The beast was fleeing, and Crhono was chasing it. The disaster spread to different locations and continued to spread. The beast's escape speed was not slow, so Crhono's attacks were destroying everything in its path.
Everyone noticed Crhono moving at high speed, launching attacks everywhere, leaving destruction in its wake. Fortunately, they weren't near settlements, or the casualties would have been enormous. Unfortunately, the beast was beginning to enter populated territories, and there Crhono's strength and impetus would be blunted, and this was making him nervous.
He never expected that, despite being able to track the beast, he wouldn't be able to eliminate it, despite all his efforts. Just when the situation seemed hopeless, a glimmer of hope appeared.
Several of the demigods who were heading to the scene arrived, and Crhono quickly organized a joint attack. With his tracking skills and the help of the others, they were able to form a siege.
The beast could no longer flee so freely, and they felt they could eliminate the beast. Unfortunately, even mice attack when they have no way out. The beast understood that it couldn't escape, and if it didn't fight, it would die. This situation pushed it to its limit, and just when everyone believed they could eliminate it, a great change occurred, causing panic.
The beast, in its desperation, underwent an evolution. Its already grotesque appearance changed, becoming a spawn of hell. If it had been ugly before, it was even more grotesque now.
However, appearance was the least of its worries. The beast's power multiplied enormously, to the point that only Crhono was its opponent. The beast no longer fled, but faced it fearlessly.
After its evolution, the beast stopped worrying about its death and simply charged madly toward Crhono and the other demigods supporting him. The intensity of the battle increased.
The moon shone dimly over the battlefield, but its light seemed useless against the dark presence looming over the land. In front of Crhono, the beast emerged from the shadows, its new body deformed and grotesque, with tendrils of dark energy undulating like whips in the air. Its eyes were incandescent abysses of madness, and its breath corrupted the very space it touched.
Without warning, the creature attacked. A flurry of claws and tentacles lashed out at the space where Crhono had been standing just a moment before. In a fluid motion, he dodged to the side, feeling the air pressure distort with the speed of the attack.
The beast gave him no respite; it appeared in his blind spot and launched a blow straight at his chest. Crhono crossed his arms and took the impact. His body was dragged several meters, streaking across the ground like a meteor before coming to a stop.
"Not bad..." he murmured, with a faint smile. The beast growled, and the darkness around him seemed to vibrate. A second later, it disappeared from view. Crhono closed his eyes. Sensing it was impossible. His ability to hide still worked, but it was no longer a frightened prey.
Now it was a crazed predator. The attack came from above. Crhono reacted at the last moment, raising an arm to block the impact. The force was overwhelming, causing the ground to crack beneath her feet. Before she could counterattack, the beast vanished again.
"You're still playing with invisibility..." Crhono said, raising a hand and unleashing a shockwave of energy. The nearby trees were pulverized, the ground shook, and the sky itself seemed to tremble.
For a split second, the beast's silhouette appeared in the air, dodging the blast. Crhono didn't miss the opportunity. He appeared in front of her in an instant and threw a punch with all his might.
His fist pierced the shadow, but the beast had already vanished again. Immediately, he felt pressure on his back and spun in time to block another devastating blow. It was a dance of shadows and power.
The beast attacked from impossible angles, disappearing before Crhono could respond. Although he was infinitely stronger, the creature turned the battle into an eternal hunt. However, Crhono was not one to play other people's games. "That's enough..." he declared, raising both hands, and the air was filled with indescribable power.
A blinding flash lit up the night, and a circle of energy surrounded the area. Immediately, the beast tried to vanish, but something had changed. For the first time, its presence was trapped in a fixed point.
"I've got you," Crhono said, smiling. Crhono moved with absolute speed. A fist wrapped in energy fell upon the beast, burying it in the ground with the force of a cataclysm. The earth split in a gigantic crater, and the impact sent a shockwave rippling through everything around it.
Yet an instant later, something emerged from the dust. The beast is more deformed, more enraged, and more... inhuman. Its laughter echoed like a cursed sound in the night. The creature, despite its shattered body, rose once more.
Its laughter echoed in the air as its form mutated, absorbing the surrounding darkness and growing even more grotesque. Its tentacles expanded, shooting out in all directions like living whips, seeking to ensnare Crhono.
Crhono backed away, but only for a split second. With a swift movement, he dodged each blow and then unleashed a blast of energy that pulverized the tentacles in its path. However, the beast did not stop. With a deafening roar, it unleashed a wave of black energy that distorted reality itself, causing the space around it to bend and twist.
The force of the blast shook Crhono, but he stood firm. He could not allow this abomination to continue existing. He breathed deeply, and his golden aura intensified. It was time to end this.
The beast lunged at him again, its claws seeking to tear at him, but Crhono was faster. With speed surpassing human perception, he appeared behind the creature and slammed his fist into its back.
A piercing scream erupted from the beast as its body shook with pain. Before it could react, Crhono mustered all his energy and, with a second blow, shattered a significant portion of its torso.
The beast staggered, but still did not fall. Despite its obvious weakness, its madness kept it standing. "Do you still resist?" Crhono whispered, regarding its enemy with a mixture of respect and pity.
Without responding, the beast attempted one last desperate offensive. Its entire body exploded in a flurry of shadows, spreading like a wave of destruction. Crhono was unfazed. He raised his hand and formed an orb of pure energy, bright as a rising star.
"Disappear," Crhono said with contempt. With a firm motion, he threw the orb directly into the center of the dark mass. Upon touching it, divine energy expanded in all directions, destroying every particle of the beast's existence.
