Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 155: 155: Caleb vs Tier 8 Apokalips

Your journey continues with M V L

Caleb walked nearer to the direction of two tier 8 Apokalips, the leader of the horde. He knew that they wanted to escape; they needed to defeat the one that commands the hundreds of Apokalips. He was aware that he needed to finish the battle quickly or the team that he leads would get overwhelmed by the sea of Apokalips anytime soon.

As the team leader of the team. He's still responsible for them, after all. Every life on the team was on his shoulders. Although he doesn't want it. He wants to have a peace of mind. So, he needs to do his damn best this time!

They can only escape by themselves now. No aid would come since Shu, who they'd sent, was the traitor. What's more, they actually need to watch for their back. Who knows, Shu would suddenly sneak attack one of them while fighting with the Horde. After all, they didn't know where Shu was now. If he was hiding or currently watching them from afar.

There's still hope that Roger and the other teams would notice the abnormality. However, it was rather slim and Caleb wasn't the one to put his hope to others when it concerns his damn life.

Shu is a dangerous foe that was ranked number one on his threat list. As he thought of this, Caleb sighed. In the end, he hadn't expected that Shu would become an enemy so much earlier. He hasn't gathered enough weaknesses or vulnerabilities of the latter yet.

Until now, he couldn't wrap around his head why Shu would betray them. He was caught off guard. However, just like what he always firmly believes, anyone, even your friend, can become an enemy, anytime.

It can be said that Shu might have something to gain from this or he just belongs to some kind of organization that treats the Scout Regime as an enemy. No matter what, Shu was now an enemy. He won't hesitate to kill the latter once they fight. Yes, they became close after a year. But he wasn't naïve enough to think that Shu treats him really one.

Just like that, Caleb stopped three meters away, opposite the two tiers 8 Apokalips who now had their attention on him. Caleb studied the enemies in front of him with wonder. It was now the second time that he would be encountering tier 8 after the Spider Queen... The ones in front of him weren't as big as the Spider Queen, but their bodies were still 15 meters huge.

"Still, what kind of disgusting shits are these..." Caleb sighed.

Certainly, here's a terrifying and hair-raising monster that will send shivers down your readers' spines:

The two creatures stand at a towering height, their emaciated, hunched forms covered in rotting, mottled flesh. Their limbs are unnaturally elongated, ending in razor-sharp, bony claws that drip with a noxious black ichor.

Their heads were a macabre spectacle, a deformed amalgamation of multiple human and animal faces, each contorted in a never-ending scream of agony. Pus-filled eyes, pale as death, glare out from sunken sockets, following their every move. They had a gaping maw, lined with serrated teeth, that seemed to twist and warp as they emitted a cacophony of horrifying, otherworldly screams.

Their skin is etched with grotesque, oozing lesions and patterns that seem to shift and writhe, as though a living, breathing nightmare itself. The air around these two monstrosities was thick with the stench of decay and fear, and a suffocating miasma.

Not to mention, the two had a grotesque, disjointed figure, their limbs contorting and bending in ways that defy the laws of physics. Shadows seem to cling to their form, and their presence casts a deep, impenetrable darkness that swallows all light.

In front of them, in terms of size, Caleb felt like a damn ant. In the case of power, however, he knew that he might just be equal to them. In the end, he was a combination of a grade 2 taboo fighter and a destiny. The merging of the two power systems wasn't as simple as 1+1 equals 2. No, it was more than that.

In his observation, he determined that most tier 9 destiny's physique attributes were in the range of 70-80. For example, those in the hunter paths who specialize in strength were mostly 80... While those who walked the Shinobi path were in the range of 70 to 75. Of course, these were just his rough estimates. He had in no way to truly quantify their date like how the time slime could accurately quantify his. Still, having a 125 physical attribute was a huge anomaly caused by the combination of the two power systems that he had accessed!

"It's time to play..." A shit-eating grin appeared on Caleb's face before he bent down and picked up a rock. "Since you look down on me. Let me give you a gift."

Caleb channelled a huge amount of taboo energy on the rock 65% of his reserves, specifically. Just as he did so, he felt uncomfortable. Such a huge consumption at once was still too much for him. Now, he was quite curious if with his physical strength plus Grade 2 quality taboo energy, was enough to kill a tier 8? It was a gamble, but he needed to take down one of them fast enough. He couldn't afford to fight two giants at the same time.

Following all this, the stone on his hand glowed brightly with a purple light. The air around the stone parted visibly due to the terrifying pressure it exudes.

Feeling it was harder and harder to contain. Caleb quickly engaged the muscles on his back, shoulders, and biceps. Due to exertion, veins visibly appeared on the surface of his skin. Blood also leaked out from Caleb's nose at this moment.

This alerted the two tier 8. What they thought was an ant turned out to be something that could threaten them. Clearly, they are far more intelligent than the tier 9 Apokalips. However, it was still too late for them as Caleb already launched the stone toward them.

BOOM!

The echo of the sound barrier being broken reverberated throughout the entire area. A straight, beautiful streak of purple light appeared in the stunned gazes of both tier 9 Apokalips and the three teams. They stopped what they were doing and saw the purple straight line come in the direction of one of the two leaders of the horde!
