Chapter 735 735- Abomination Vs The Adventurers

That person was not his friend, but rather his enemy, the one who cornered him and pushed him to the brink of madness. How long had it been since he last saw him? He did not think that he would see that person once again.

Simon was trembling in excitement, rage, delight and amusement. He would finally be able to take his revenge. Although he had cut the limbs of the Sea God's Trident Guild in the last expedition when they came diving inside his dungeon, high ranking members such as Godwin, Raven and Benny Beckermann were missing.

 With them still present, the Sea God's guild would never truly be wiped out. If it was any of the other top five guilds of the kingdom of Ellesmere, Simon wouldn't bother too much with them as long as they did not overstep their boundaries.

However, the Sea God's guild had repeatedly crossed his upper limits, attacking and invading his dungeon at every point. This caused them to become irreconcilable enemies.

 What's more, they even knew about the secret of the forest spring spirits residing inside his dungeon. They have to die no matter what or else Simon wouldn't be able to sleep or eat properly.

They cannot live under the same sky, one of them has to be eliminated. That said, although Simon's blood was boiling in indignance as he remembered the scene from the past, there were also traces of gratitude mixed within his emotions.

He was thankful that he had gone through such an experience as it had opened his eyes. It made him finally accept him for who he was and let go of all naïve and idealistic thinking.

He was a Demon Noble in this life, he cannot cling to the way of thinking of his past life. Thanks to the experience he could break out of his shell and become a true Demon Noble.

 "I will let you experience the despair I experienced all those years ago" Making a wicked smile, Simon resolved. He did not attack immediately but instead formulated a plan in his head.

He used appraisal on his Target and Enemy.

<nullb>Name- Subject 2777

<nullb>Race- Unidentifiable

<nullb>Level-740

<nullb> Skills- [Herculean Strength], [Ultra Enhanced Defence], [Enhanced Agility], [Super Enhanced Magic], [Ultra Enhanced Endurance], [Ultra High speed Regenration], [Body Reinforcment], [Frost Magic Resistance], [Flame Magic resistance], [Lightning Magic Resistance], [Tremor Magic Resistance], [Gale magic Resistance], [Blunt Damage Resistance], [Poison Immunity], [Intimidation Resistance], [Frost Magic Mastery], [Flame Magic Mastery], [Lightning Magic Mastery], [Tremor Magic Mastery], [Gale Magic Mastery], [Chaotic Mind], [Parallel Thinking], [Atrophy Gaze], [Rampant Roar], [Nethermaw Devour], [Chemeric Fury], [Voidfire Breath], [Ethereal Scales], [Aspect Anomaly], [Abomination's Charge], [Fury of the Multitudes], [Altered Form], [Origin Form], [Transmutation Surge]…

It was as he had thought, the Abomination was the Abomination he had in his head. The monstrosity created by the greed of humans, subject 2777 also said to be the greatest creation, there was no mistaking it.

That aura, that gaze and that appearance that gave one chill right down to their spines, should he say as expected of the Abomination? It was downright terrifying. There was also its long list of skills, it was not without reason that those humans believed that it was their greatest creation.

The Abomination had resistance to all five basic attributes. Not only that, it also had mastery over the intermediate tiers of all the five basic attributes. It begs mentioning that all the five basic attributes need different talents and affinities to master.

Someone who could use all five basic attributes were exceptionally rare, one might even be able to count them with their fingers.

Even Simon was unable to master all the five basic attributes. He only possessed affinities for fire, electro and wind and no matter how much he tried to learn the other two attributes, it was simply impossible.

 "No wonder they said that it was their greatest creation and their greatest failure" To be able to utilise all five basic attributes of magic, what kind of concept was that? Simon did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Then there was also some dangerous sounding skills in its arsenal like the [Chemeric Fury], [Voidfire Breath], [Transmutation Surge] and so on and so forth. There was no doubt about it, these were rare and lost skills, and their tiers were also very high, at the very least it should be at the Ancient tier.

The more Simon glanced at the Abomination, the more speechless he became. It was a good thing he did not attack it, even Simon was not absolutely sure that he would be able to bring it down.

After appraising the Abomination, Simon shifted his attention onto the man standing not far away from it. To his surprise, the moment he tried to use [Appraisal] on Godwin, his skill was blocked.

He was unable to see anything regarding this man.

 It needs to be said that the [Appraisal] skill can only be blocked during two instances. One when there is a large difference in level between the two parties and second when the other party is in possession of something that blocks all prying skill.

Simon did not believe that there was a large difference between him and Godwin. He was even able to appraise the Abomination which the latter was struggling against. Which meant that Godwin wasn't stronger than the Abomination.

Simon recalled that the first time the two of them met, his skill was blocked just like now. However, at that time, he attributed not being able to see the other party's status to them having a large difference in level.

However, what about now? Not only had he gotten a lot stronger since then, but even his [Analysis] skill had evolved. Simon knew that his growth speed was exaggerated and that no one in the world could match his speed after all he possessed the Fragments of Pride.

However, even after all this, he was still unable to pry at the other party's status. This meant only one thing, it was not due to the level difference but because of a certain thing that Godwin possessed.

 Simon wasn't surprised, this aligned perfectly well with the conjecture he had drawn when he learned that there were other challengers at present in the sixth trial.

"He should be the other challenger recognised by the master of the forbidden grounds" Simon was curious, he didn't think that he would encounter his enemy much less them being able to gain the recognition of the master of the forbidden grounds.

Well, no matter what the case was, it did not change the fact he needed to defeat Godwin. It was a good thing that the other party also possessed a formidable card. With that, they should be able to resist the Abomination for a while.

 Be it the Abomination or Godwin, both of them were very strong forcing him to change his plans on how to approach the situation.

 He did not think that the battle would be decided anytime soon, from what he could see both the parties looked very alive and kicking. As such, Simon decided not to meddle and see how the situation develops. It would be best of both of them tire each other out.

.

.

On the other side of the battlefield, the adventurers have regrouped back together. Thanks to the earlier outburst of the creature, all the monsters in a nearby area had died. The adventurers barely managed to safeguard themselves at the critical moment.

They downed a few vials of potions and stood their ground. Just as they planned to attack the creature, Godwin raised his hands and ordered them to back down. He did not say anything else and swiftly charged towards the creature, golden light enveloped his body, raising his strength to unknown heights.

With a speed that defied his build, Godwin crashed into the creature forcing it out of the aura storm. At this moment as the creature's form came into view once again, everyone realised that something was wrong.

The creature hadn't gone into a state of berserk like they thought but instead, changed forms. That's right, after those peculiar markings and runes appeared on the creature started transforming.

The Abomination had gone into its [Altered Form]. It now had a serpentine look, its three pairs of legs were reduced to green tipped spikes and barbed thorns protruded from its tail. Its upper body had also become extremely muscular to match its current build.

Hard outer shell grew out of all of its three heads and covered its entire face like a helmet, it separated vertically like an insect mandible. The wings on its back expanded and branched into three parts each, looking all sinister, like feelers.

Looking at the abomination, no one would be able to tell that it was the very same creature they were fighting just a moment ago. The Abomination did not wait for the adventurers to come out of their stupor, its three heads quickly conjured various magic and threw it at them.

Almost a the same moment "Get into formation" Godwin roared. He wanted to block the magic targeted at his team. However, before he could help them, an enormous tail with sharp barbed thorns growing out of the end, came smashing towards him, forcing him to stay.

<nullb>BANG… BANG… BOOM…

Sharp spikes of earth protruded out of the ground, razor sharp winds blew everywhere, lightning flashed and fire and ice wreaked havoc everywhere. The adventurers could only protect themselves, forget about participating in the battle. They could only leave it to Raven to aid Godwin.
