Chapter 151: Bloody Nightmare's nightmare (b)
Has it gotten so old that its senses had started to dull?
Or was it too pleased after hunting and devouring a prey for the first time in a hundred years that it forgot to stay alert?
Right after, the tree caught the blue speck that was floating towards it ever so gently in its sight.
“Huh, what is that?”
At first, it felt apprehensive, but after a moment, calm returned to it as it realized that it was merely a harmless speck of light; that’s what its senses told it.
“What a joke!”
It nearly laughed seeing the speck of blue light.
How could someone even begin to imagine that something so little would be able to harm something as sturdy and thick as him? The nightmare tree tagged Elliot as a mentally handicapped person
‘His intelligence is lacking,’ it thought as its mouth changed into a human-like smirk.
Though, it must admit that he was far cautious than the person before who came charging at it, only to get all of her bones crushed by it.
Anyway, its guard lowered as it thought that his attack wouldn’t be able to even leave a scratch on the surface of its body!
However, it was too arrogant and didn’t want anything to blemish its unholy body.
One of its branches stretched and came charging towards the blue speck of light.
A moment later, it whacked it, and then chaos ensured!
“Bam!” The moment its wooden branch came in contact with it, a metallic vibration rang in the air.
Many things happened in that very second.
First off, the blue speck of energy released shockwaves, which blasted off the wooden branch of the bloody nightmare as they permeated the surroundings and spread out.
Everything that the blue shockwaves touched, from the wooden branch to the nearby trees, were pulverized!
Elliot managed to run out of the range of the shockwaves, but the spirit tree got hit by three of them, and its exoskeleton shattered apart, turning into fine grain of dust!
Then, the blue speck of light vibrated so intensely that a void appeared in its place.
It sucked in the things present around him, from the purple light and moonlight to the soil, branches, leaves, uprooted trees, and even swallowed them as a whole, as if it was some kind of black hole.
The pressure in that void was so great that whatever it sucked was smashed into pieces into an instance of a second, becoming a part of it.
In the nine-tenth of that very second, it grew bigger and bigger until it could no longer as if it had reached maturity.
The bloody nightmare watched all of this in horror, and it was pulling out its root from the ground to make a run for it as it knew that it was going to explode.
Before it could do so, though, the void exploded!
“Bomb!!” It sounded as if the entire world was going to come to an end.
The energy it was made of, as well as everything inside of it, blasted outwards at a sound barrier-breaking speed.
A resounding reverberation spread throughout the forest as the rays of light and shards of many other things smashed everything in their paths, blasting apart the clouds in the night sky and destroying a wide enough area of the forest.
One such beam charged straight towards the monster. The rays of Sapphire light blinded it entirely from what was happening, and it didn’t even get the chance to make a run for it before it passed through it, pulverizing it to the roots.
Whoosh!
[A particle of soil had grazed through your right cheek]
[-3 HP]
[Remaining HP: 97/100 units]
Meanwhile, standing far away from the point of explosion, sweat trickled down Elliot.
He narrowly escaped death!
A shard of wooden went past him so fastly that he didn’t even notice until clouds of dust raised near him, and it shattered apart several trees before disintegrating due to high velocity!
Only then did he realized that something passed by him!
[You’ve slain more than a dozen Nightmares, eighteen in total]
[You’ve completed the first of the hunting list]
[You’ve pulverized contestant no.59]
[You’ve completed 1-3rd of the second part of the hunting list]
[You’ve destroyed the main body of the bloody nightmare. You’ve earned the right to extract its essence of life]
[You’ve destroyed a portion of the forest and unearthed several treasures]
A few notifications popped up in his mind as he released a blast made out of five units of God’s Qi to blast away the clouds of dust surrounding him and blocking his vision.
“Holy Cross, I did a lot of damage! How the hell did it gain so much destructive power? What the heck did I create while following my heart?!!”
Elliot cussed out in shock as he looked in front of him with wide-opened eyes that were expressing his disbelief.
His gaping mouth expressed his bewilderment.
The scene in front of him represented devastation caused by a nuke.
However, he was sure that he didn’t use any bombs!
To begin with, he didn’t have any.
There were long gashes on the depressed ground as the explosion pulverized many trees; split apart several dozen into pieces; blasted apart an equal amount into chunks.
“It’s as if a titan had descended from the seventh sky and stomped on the ground to vent out its frustration! I nearly escaped that devastation!”
He, himself, was shocked by the devastation brought about by his attack.
[Congratulations! You managed to self-create an offensive spirit technique]
[Spirit Technique Name: Spiritual Energy Nuke]
[Description: Once the challenger condenses 1000 units of spiritual energy into a speck similar to a grain of dust, an extremely volatile explosive will come into being. Its explosion will pulverize everything in its vicinity, and even things far away might get destroyed]
Clarification and pleasant surprise flushed Elliot’s eyes as he felt happy after going through the notifications.
“Although it’s extremely powerful, I am better off not using it as even I can get caught up in the explosion.”
Immediately after, his sharp gaze caught something suspicious, and it was running away from him.
