Chapter 272
by fanqienovelChapter 272: Decapitation by Death Roll!
"Great assist!"
Trilobite watched the giant Kunpeng Pterosaur’s dive and kill with great joy.
Seeing the Moschops fall right into his mouth was certainly delightful, but that was merely one pleasant aspect.
It wasn’t even what pleased Trilobite most.
Though he’d already expended considerable Magic Power earlier—creating the giant Kunpeng Pterosaur during his "pterosaur evolution lecture" for the customer, plus casting ten magic shields and five middle fingers—his reserves were nearly depleted.
Just over 1000 Magic Points remained.
Still, that sufficed for ten more middle fingers and ten rounds of cursing "son of a thief."
He harbored no fear of the creature escaping him.
The giant Kunpeng Pterosaur’s assist felt like icing on the cake.
What truly thrilled him was witnessing his labor bear fruit—observing an evolutionary marvel ruling the skies!
Of course, the paramount joy came from the customer actively aiding him.
What did that signify!?
"It means I’ve forged unbreakable trust with this customer!"
"A reliable meal ticket—no, a fiercely loyal patron—has emerged!"
"Hahaha…"
With triple reasons for celebration, how could Trilobite not rejoice!?
"Ah, but the most pressing delight now is…"
"Ah—woah—!"
Trilobite’s giant jaws gaped wide!
Though his calcite-cluster eyes offered poor resolution, tracking moving targets posed no challenge; his motion-capture capability surpassed most species.
His massive skull tracked the Moschops’ falling trajectory…
Then…
"Thud—!"
His giant jaws clamped down on the plummeting body, emitting a dull impact!
The sound and sensation made Trilobite’s heart lurch.
"Disaster!"
Dread washed over him.
"My saber teeth hit bone—vertebrae, perhaps?"
"This thing’s bones are sturdier than I thought! Can’t sever them in one strike!"
"Hmm…"
“Totally different from the fellow that died with one bite; I actually couldn’t kill it in one go. I needed to take it seriously.”
Trilobite focused.
Sure enough, at that moment…
“Roar—!”
The Moschops, almost the size of a cave lion, suddenly thrashed, roaring as it sent up a massive splash of water.
“Rip—!”
A piece of flesh tore away, but it escaped!
“Decisive.”
“Like a gecko shedding its tail!?”
“Ah… ugh…”
Trilobite didn’t care about any gecko tail; even a real gecko’s tail was still a piece of meat, right?
He swallowed the flesh he had torn from the Moschops’ back.
“Taking decisive action.”
“Impressive!”
“Well then, I’ll show all of my true abilities!”
—-
“Uh—!”
“What… what kind of monster!”
Agareth felt no hope or luck left inside.
Only endless terror!
He sensed those terrifying saber teeth piercing through his back, nearly shattering his Divine vertebrae with overwhelming power!
His bones creaked with a horrible wail as intense pain surged, making him thrash desperately.
Even more terrifying things awaited him!
“Damn it!”
“What’s this guy injecting into my body!?”
“My magic… my divine body functions are failing!”
“I… I’m the number two chaos councilor!”
Agareth felt the liquid clinging to the teeth slowly dissolving his divine muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. His once-mighty surge of magic power scattered like snow under blazing sun or darkness exposed to light—
shrieking, howling, dispersing everywhere.
This wasn’t just etheric liquid interference anymore; it was pure terror of the Giant God’s power!
“This is bad!”
“It’s over!”
Despair gripped Agareth tightly. He had mocked Lady Xidi earlier, laughing as she fled in panic from the Cricket Giant God, losing Bubble Worlds one after another, completely without the dignity of a core councilor. But now, when the Giant God’s terrifying saber teeth bit into him, Agareth realized that it wasn’t the Giant God who was the cricket; he himself was the cricket!
"No… no chance of winning… I must escape!"
"Run away!"
"Flee!"
"Roar—!"
As a Chaos Demon God, he knew the wisdom of cutting off a limb to save oneself. Besides, this time, he wasn’t losing an arm but just a chunk of flesh from his back. If he could escape, he could recover after some rest.
"Run—!"
"Quick… swim forward!"
As he moved intensely, the wound on his back kept tearing and stretching, his divine blood staining the whole Sea of Ether.
"Hiss…"
"Whew…"
Countless etheric worms and strange Outer Gods surged from the Sea of Ether, Primal Mud, and the void. The divine blood of core councilors had strong magical powers, greatly aiding their training, even as a rare chance. Yet, none dared to approach now. The God’s War between two core councilor deities wasn’t something these small fry could meddle in! And if they got too close…
"Boom—!"
A huge shaking and crashing sound erupted again!
"Whew—!"
The Sea of Ether stirred up massive waves!
"Roar—!"
"Aaaaah—!"
The etheric worms and tiny Outer Gods screamed, swept away by the flood of ether, carried far off.
"No!"
"Help!"
Outer Gods flying too low were hit by ether waves that rose kilometers high, plunging into the Sea of Ether. They struggled but drifted helplessly with the current. Below them, Outer Gods from the Ether and etheric worms watched hungrily. If they couldn’t get divine blood, eating some Outer Gods would do. Before such a large-scale God’s War, even lesser deities felt small. Only those like…
"Yah—!"
Gimmerly, who held the authority of the void, circled again and dove down!
"Bang—!"
A huge claw pinned Agareth back into the water.
"Now’s the time!"
Trilobite seized the chance and swam quickly to the side of the Moschops. Its blood-red jaws gaped wide again!
"Roar—!"
"Bang—!"
He bit down on the Moschops’ neck. Then…
"Glub glub—!"
The Sea of Ether churned violently! Trilobite was rolling his divine body! It was a death roll!
"Splash—!"
A flood of divine blood burst out, quickly dyeing everything red.
"Yah—!"
The Kunpeng Pterosaur cried joyfully as it flew high. It held a skull in its claws—Agareth’s skull!
