Giant Beast

Translator: 549690339

Boom!

Under the water, at a depth of a hundred meters, the sea was in a violent turmoil as two marine giant beasts fought ardently against each other.

A gray squid with a body length of seventeen meters, flailed its tentacles wildly. Each of its eight tentacles were as thick as a bucket, and covered with dangerous-looking suckers lined with sharp teeth.

Each strike of the tentacles unleashed incredible destructive power, churning the surrounding waters into a muddy mess.

Right now, it was on the defensive.

The other beast, slightly larger, almost ten meters long and black, resembled a fierce dragon. It circled the Mutated Squid at an alarming speed, continuously launching attacks.

Each swipe of its claws would leave a horrifying wound on the squid’s tentacles, occasionally even tearing off a piece.

Consequently, within a short amount of time, the blood of the squid turned the surrounding seawater even deeper blue, driving the Mutated Squid into a frenzy. Its two longest tentacles swept across like giant pythons.

Bang! Bang! The thick tentacles caused the water to burst, but utterly failed to catch the Sword Armor Beast, which in turn ripped one of the tentacles apart with one of its claws.

These two main tentacles differed from the other shorter auxiliary tentacles of a few meters in length. They served as the primary weapons for hunting and fighting for the Mutated Squid. The sword Armor Beast tearing it apart caused it to emit a piercing scream, almost like that of a baby.

Squelch!

At that moment, a rich black energy surged out from beneath the Mutated Squid, enveloping the surrounding area within several tens of meters in a blanket of darkness within the blink of an eye.

Inside this range, the Sword Armor Beast could not sense the movement of the water, nor see a thing. It could not even feel the touch of the seawater as it moved its limbs, as if it was in a dead, silent domain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sword Armor Beast finally sensed the vibrations. Within the darkness, giant tentacles coiled around it, wrapping it up like a rice dumpling and dragging it towards the squid’s gaping maw.

Originally, the squid used ink to escape, expelling a large amount of black ink to obstruct its enemy’s view while making its getaway.

However, after numerous mutations, the function had become a special ability that temporarily shrouded the prey’s senses, including vision and even awareness.

Within the range of this dark energy, the squid could move freely to quickly capture its prey, then use its strong tentacles to constrict and suffocate it before slowly devouring it.

But today… Roar! Accompanied by a roar that was reminiscent of a tiger’s, the Sword Armor Beast’s muscles surged, and it struggled with a terrifying burst of power.

Crack! Crack! Crack! With a hundred-fold power, the Mutated Squid’s tentacles were snapped apart one-by-one by the Sword Armor Beast. It extended its claws and grabbed the Mutated Squid’s body, tearing it right apart.

Squelch!

The seven-meter-long body of the Mutated Squid was almost torn in half by the Sword Armor Beast, gushing massive amounts of dark blue blood that turned the surrounding seawater dark blue in an instant.

This was far from the end though. At that moment, black bone spurs shot out and stabbed through the three huge, wriggling hearts within the flesh, thoroughly killing it.

In that instant, the darkness in the sea vanished, revealing the ferociously twisted form of the Sword Armor Beast that had caught hold of the two halves of the squid’s corpse. It exuded a terrifying, murderous aura.

The battle was now over. Next, it was time to eat.

Clutching the corpse of the Mutated Squid, the Sword Armor Beast began to tear huge chunks from it, chewing and swallowing the massive tentacles as if they were spicy sticks. Despite its cold-eyed demeanor, its gaze appeared deep in thought.

These Mutated Beasts, exceeding Level 4, all possessed a power relating to energy attacks. Like a talent, their powers would increase along with their strength.

Now that its physical enhancements included strength, defense, and agility, the Sword Armor Beast needed to acquire an energy category for its Fourth Evolution.

Otherwise, it would be at a disadvantage when facing Level 6 or higher mutated beasts, let alone the mobile disasters known as Giant Beasts.

However, it now faced the problem of which power to choose next.

At present, the energy talents it could think of included the electric power of ordinary electric eels and the blue cold light of Crystal Corner Mutated Fish.

Though it had encountered other mutated creatures with abilities recently, such as the sawtoothed fish and mutated beasts capable of controlling deep-sea vortexes and bubble bombs, these abilities were quite average.

Furthermore, in order to absorb the genes of other creatures, it required the creature to be devoured whole during their evolution. This imposed certain limitations.

For example, creatures that were too large could not be consumed entirely within a short period of time.

As such, the electric eel became its top choice — not only could it be purchased, but its electrical power was also quite potent in water.

However, Jack Clark had reservations about choosing the electric eel.

Jack Clark’s concern was that the ‘electric eel’ was too weak. This weakness refers to the creature’s innate characteristics.

For example, the Unicorn Beetle could pry objects hundreds of times its own weight, while the Iron Beetle boasted a defensive structure that could withstand pressures up to thirty thousand times its own body weight.

There was also the Tiger Beetle, whose speed was so fast that even he could not keep up with its instantaneous movement.

Of course, insects could achieve such absurd power only due to their small size and unique structure. If translated to human size, they might crush themselves under their own weight.

However, this didn’t matter for the Avatar.

The Avatar possessed the ability to fuse, optimize, and selectively choose gene traits when evolving. Therefore, Jack Clark was only concerned about the strength of that specific aspect.

Compared to insects that could surpass their own limits, the electric power of the electric eel seemed quite average.

This was the reason behind Jack Clark’s concern – what if, after the Fourth Evolution, the Sword Armor Beast absorbed the electric power of the electric eel, but the power was not strong enough to condense into a talent? Then it would be a huge loss!

Alternatively, should it search for a mutated electric eel or another low-level mutated creature with a special power to devour?

Just as the Sword Armor Beast had almost consumed the seemingly long but not very meaty Mutated Squid, it suddenly felt a terrifying aura approaching from a distance.The strong aura even miles away made the Sword Armor Beast instinctively want to flee.

Boom boom boom!! The sea water in front of it exploded, countless marine creatures frantically swarmed from a distance, passing by the Sword Armor Beast.

There were all kinds of fish and even mutated whales twenty to thirty meters long fleeing as if a terrifying creature was chasing them.

Such terrible power made the Sword Armor Beast tense as well.

However…

Bang bang bang!! The Sword Armor Beast shot towards the sea surface like a black shadow, hitting all ordinary fish in its way into bloody foam.

In just a blink of an eye, the Sword Armor Beast crossed a hundred meters and appeared on the sea surface.

Then it saw the sky had darkened somehow, with dark clouds rolling in the distance, lightning flashing, and raging winds causing tsunamis of tens to hundreds of meters high.

In the towering waves, many marine creatures that could not escape in time fell with the waves and were killed by the terrifying force, becoming floating corpses on the water.

Such a terrible scene was like the coming of the apocalypse.

Boom! At this moment, a huge thunderbolt descended from the sky, like a Thunder Dragon winding between heaven and earth, striking the sea surface and splashing water everywhere.

Under the glare of the thunderbolt, the Sword Armor Beast vaguely saw a terrifying giant beast wreaking havoc in the sea far away.

Even tens of kilometers apart, the giant’s body was visible, like a fortress in the sea, with a slight movement causing gigantic waves.

Deep Sea Forbidden Zone!!

Instinctively, this word appeared in the Sword Armor Beast’s mind.

During this time, after temporarily letting the Crystal Corner mutated fish go, it had been hunting in a certain direction, staying between one to two hundred meters deep underwater.

Through its research during this time, the Sword Armor Beast discovered that the deeper the sea, the thicker the Heavenly Energy, and the stronger the mutated creatures that roamed and lived there.

It was not clear why for the time being, and it could only investigate further when its strength improved in the future.

But unexpectedly, it had unknowingly approached a deep-sea forbidden zone and encountered the terrifying giant beast coming out to sea.

Feeling the terrifying aura that surged like a storm from a distance, the Sword Armor Beast suppressed its body’s instinctive impulse, took a deep look at the terrifying giant beast, and then turned away.

It seems that it still cannot go too far from the coast at present, and should hunt within two to three hundred kilometers of the coast in the future.

The Sword Armor Beast mixed in with the fleeing marine creatures, and as the distance from the giant beast’s activity range increased, the terrifying aura gradually weakened, until…

Boom!

Suddenly, the ocean began boiling again, and numerous predators launched their attacks on the surrounding prey.

Including the Sword Armor Beast who had its eyes on a fifteen-meter long, sharp-spiked Adapted Bannerfish. Its double claws, like falling pillars, crashed down.

Bang!

In an instant, the seawater rolled, and a terrifying force created a huge vacuum impact bubble deep in the sea. The Adapted Bannerfish’s head exploded under the double claws.

This was the terrifying power of the Sword Armor Beast now.

With its growing size, its Talent of Hundred-fold Power Burst was ever more formidable.

Combined with the instantaneous burst speed of Agility Talent, a mutated beast one rank higher than it would be instantly killed if caught off guard, making its combat power terrifying.

Evening.

On the balcony outside the ward, Jack Clark’s aura grew heavier as his body temperature increased.

However, his Spirit Power immediately surged, covering his whole body, and the heavy aura caused by his terrifyingly dense flesh instantly vanished.

Withdrawing his attention from the Sword Armor Beast, Jack Clark looked at the scripture in his hand, rubbing his forehead with a sigh, “As I thought, these scriptures are not for ordinary people to read.”

Although he had been paying attention to the Sword Armor Beast most of the time, Jack Clark had flipped through the Clearing Heart Sutra several times during the afternoon.

Even though he recognized all the characters, he found the content very confusing when they were combined.

However, there were some gains. For example, after quietly looking through it for an afternoon, Jack Clark’s mind became calmer, and it seemed to be somewhat effective.

Knock knock!!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, then a middle-aged female doctor in a white coat and a nurse entered the ward. Seeing this, Jack Clark got up and went inside.

There, Freya Louise had already woken up.

“Ms. Louise, I’ve looked over your test report today, and your various indicators have returned to normal, although your cardiovascular function is still a bit weak.”

“You’ll need to stay in the hospital for observation for two more days, and if there are no abnormal changes, you can be discharged.”

Freya Louise nodded slightly, “Thank you, Dr. Elie.”

The middle-aged female doctor shook her head, “It is us who should be grateful. If it weren’t for the Federation’s intervention, Koroya under the rule of the Evil God Sect would have become hell.”

Following that, the female doctor gave a few more instructions before politely leaving.

Seeing this, Jack Clark smiled..
