Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 438 - 44: Eldritch the God-Eater 2

Plop! Plop!

Some eerie, mud-like viscous creatures fell down, their black-brown bodies covered with disgusting substances, no one knew what they were.

However, fortunately, these enemies are not particularly difficult to handle.

As long as one is careful not to be ambushed when they fall from the ceiling, their slow wriggling speed poses no real threat.

"It's inside," Fried the Nun said softly.

After speaking, she lowered her voice again, "The entrance to the Painting World is likely nearby."

This is the royal city of the Divine Race.

The entrance to the Painting World is said to be a painting, but no one knows its exact location.

Before Su Ziyu could take action, You'Er Xia stepped directly into the hall. The two had to quickly follow, lest the half-dragon girl be killed by Eldritch.

"Brother?!"

Inside the hall, a voice full of surprise was heard first, followed quickly by a desperate cry: "Brother!..."

At this moment, Su Ziyu also entered.

In his sight appeared a slender figure wearing a Golden Sun Mask, dressed in a black robe, holding a long spear emitting a dark purple light. At first glance, the figure seemed feminine, but upon closer inspection, one could tell it was actually a male. The entire hall showed severe signs of corrosion, the ground littered with mud and many disgusting fluids that oozed in and out, while the marbled floor was dotted with pools of nasty viscous liquid.

Is this the Shadow Sun - Gwendolin?

The child raised as a daughter by the Sun King - Gwyn?

Where is Eldritch?

Just as Su Ziyu was warily observing ahead, the body of Shadow Sun - Gwendolin suddenly floated up, and then the lower half hidden under his disheveled robe was revealed.

It was an eerie creature resembling a massive black maggot.

The lower body of Gwendolin had been completely devoured, with more of the body hidden underground. As the group walked in, the upper half of Gwendolin immediately began to wield the long spear surrounded by dark purple light and made a sweeping attack, while simultaneously summoning a barrage of dark energy arrows.

"He's already dead!"

"Half of his body has been digested by Eldritch!"

"Watch out for the ground!"

Fried the Nun, her expression grave, tightly gripped her gigantic scythe and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Eldritch has taken control of Gwendolin's corpse."

The creature before them had an upper body with the appearance of a beautiful person, a remnant of Gwendolin's body, but the lower body was a giant black maggot, which is the true body of Eldritch the Saint, a monster infamous for devouring humans.

"No!"

Nearby, You'Er Xia suddenly let out a shrill scream, her figure darting towards Eldritch with explosive speed. This time, Su Ziyu truly felt the humanity slipping away from the half-dragon maiden, a peculiar sensation allowing him to acutely sense her emotions ebbing away, as well as a part of her rational mind.

Bolts of dark purple energy arrows shot towards You'Er Xia.

This isn't good!

Seeing the situation deteriorate, Su Ziyu immediately lunged forward, knocking the half-dragon girl seven or eight meters away, while he quickly rolled aside, taking cover behind a stone pillar.

But the attack didn't stop because the summoned energy arrows could actually curve.

FUCK!

—"Flashing!"

Su Ziyu was forced to flash to evade the attack. At this moment, he had no choice but to focus entirely on evading the relentless energy arrows. Almost appearing like a blur, he swiftly dodged around the hall, only managing to evade the attack after a full circle. Behind him, thousands of energy arrows were embedded in the ground, slowly disappearing after a while.

"His weakness is his lower body!" Fried the Nun's scythe ignited with black flames as Eldritch attacked Su Ziyu, she found an opportunity to strike, slashing down on the maggot-like lower body.

A wail of pain echoed out.

With a heavy thud.

Eldritch controlled Gwendolin's body and withdrew underground, leaving the hall empty and echoing.

"Where is it?"

This was the first time Su Ziyu faced an opponent that could burrow underground, and it was a formidable Lord of Cinder.

Bang.

Not far behind Fried the Nun, a pale figure suddenly burst from the ground. The long spear that was dark purple now shone with flames. The upper body of Gwendolin wielded the spear in a sweeping motion, while Eldritch's maggot lower body suddenly spewed large amounts of murky, dung-colored liquid.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Corrosive damage detected! Toxic damage detected! Negative Energy Erosion detected!..."

The nauseating maggot-like lower body spewed venom continuously. The ground filled with a disgusting viscous substance, whose smell alone was unbearable. Fried the Nun could bear it slightly better as she was Undead, but Su Ziyu felt dizzy just from a sniff.

—"Sunlight Spear!"

Without a second thought, Su Ziyu summoned a Sunlight Spear and hurled it as Eldritch attacked Fried the Nun.

With a booming clap.

The hall was illuminated by flashing thunder as Eldritch let out another painful scream before burrowing back into the ground.

The foundation beneath this palace was likely riddled with holes, having long been corroded into its nesting ground.

Gulp.

Fried the Nun stepped back and took out an Elemental Bottle and drank, standing back to back with Su Ziyu for mutual protection. She said in a deep voice, "Its weakness is below the waist."

"It only consumed the lower limbs of Gwendolin."

Bang!

The ground beneath their feet suddenly shook, and the two unhesitatingly retreated to the sides.

A long spear engulfed in flame pierced forth.

Gwendolin's body reappeared, but Eldritch's figure was nowhere to be seen. Not far from Su Ziyu, a sense of intense danger surged in his heart. Without hesitation, he pulled out a Dragon-Hunting Spear, imbued it with rippling golden lightning, transforming it into a dazzling Thunder Spear, and thrust it into the ground.

Boom!

A massive black maggot burst from the ground, spewing forth its disgusting, toxic venom. Engulfed by the corrosive poison, Su Ziyu simultaneously drove the Dragon-Hunting Spear deep into the maggot's rear, splattering a horrid mixture of dark yellow blood.

Severely injured, Eldritch withdrew underground once more.

Its main body is likely over ten meters long, resembling a hideous, gigantic maggot, capable of writhing like a pile of rot.

Most of this Lord of Cinder's body was underground, with only the part of Gwendolin's form that wasn't consumed exposed, yet it could also control Gwendolin's corpse and cast his Magic.

This enemy is rather troublesome.

—"Sinful Greatsword!"

Crimson flames flared up within the hall.

Seeing Eldritch burrow underground again, with the palace filled with its corrosive venom and erosive negative energy gases, Su Ziyu hesitated before drawing out the Sinful Greatsword he had acquired earlier. The Dragon-Hunting Spear remained lodged in Eldritch's venom-spewing lower half, rendering his other weapons ineffective against it. Now, he could only hope to test the might of the Sinful Greatsword.

Buzz. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

A barrage of arrows rained down again, this time targeting Fried the Nun.

Su Ziyu took a deep breath.

He silently watched every change on the ground, cautiously aware of the energy arrows summoned by Gwendolin's corpse, quietly searching for the location of the enemy's true body.

Suddenly the ground trembled slightly.

Now!

As Eldritch's grotesque, nauseating maggot body emerged again to spew poison, Su Ziyu unhesitatingly gripped the Sinful Greatsword tightly with both hands and charged.

—"Time Acceleration!"
