Chapter 77 77: Devouring The Elephant Demon

?

The moment the Elephant demon switched its attention to stopping the Armored Elephant demon's spiritual energy from slurping its spiritual energy it felt two forces devouring its spiritual energy. When the Elephant demon's spiritual energy turned its attention back it saw the Serpent demon's and Three-Headed Fox's spiritual energies munching on its spiritual energy.

Anger flowed through the Elephant demon's spiritual energy as it tried to counterattack by focusing on the Three-Headed Fox demon's spiritual energy. This spiritual energy had been the most annoying for the Elephant demon spiritual energy as it would vanish and take a bite before vanishing again until the Elephant demon shifted its attention.

The sudden burst of aggression caught the Three-Headed Fox demon's spiritual energy by surprise and it lost a chunk of its spiritual energy which was devoured by the Elephant demon. However, before it could enjoy its victory the Elephant demon's spiritual energy felt three massive chunks of its spiritual energy being devoured.

"Roar!!!" 

The pain of losing so much spiritual energy nearly made the Elephant demon's spiritual energy go insane. The pain of feeling your spiritual energy being devoured was on the same level as being eaten alive. 

The angered Three-Headed Fox demon's spiritual energy was even more brutal and cautious when it attacked and hid far away from the Elephant demon's spiritual energy only coming back once it confirmed that it was safe.

The brutal war between spiritual energies raged inside Yoze's body as he witnessed everything. He felt a bit anxious for the first few minutes but calmed down as he saw that the flow of the war was going in his favor. 

An hour passed by as the elephant demon's fought back with everything it had but it wasn't enough. As it grew weaker Yoze's spiritual energies became stronger. 

This was most evident with Yoze's Armored Elephant demon spiritual energy as it didn't need to go through trying to convert the foreign spiritual energy. It simply added it to its body without doing anything and just enjoyed growing without limit.

It was the smallest and weakest out of the three spiritual energies but with the help of the Serpent demon's and Three-Headed Fox demon's spiritual energies restraining the Elephant demon, it was able to eat and catch up to them. 

Though the Serpent demon's and Three-Headed Fox demon's spiritual energies weren't as easily able to convert as the Elephant demon's spiritual energy into their own, they had an infinitely better time compared to their enemy. 

The Elephant demon's spiritual energy could only stop the converting process of the spiritual energy it had captured as it did not have the leisure to convert the spiritual energy without losing more.

An hour into the battle, the Elephant demon's spiritual energy had grown so weak that it was weaker than any of Yoze's spiritual energies. At that point, its death was sealed as Yoze's spiritual energies attacked together to finish it off.

"Roa..." The Elephant demon's spiritual energy tried to let out one last roar of injustice before it was completely devoured.

With the last strand of the Spiritual energy devoured and converted the three Spiritual energies stared at each other with the same level of hatred and desire to devour as they showed the Elephant demon's spiritual energy. With their foreign invader gone the war for dominance over Yoze's body restarted with even more brutality than the previous.

The battle quickly transformed into the Serpent demon's and the Three-Headed demon's spiritual energies ganging up to bully the Armored Elephant demon's spiritual energy. They both tried to rip apart this newcomer and worked together but the Armored Elephant demon's spiritual energy wasn't a slouch either as it pushed back.

Even though the Serpent demon and the Three-Headed demon's spiritual energies worked together, their distrust for each other made it impossible for them to put their full effort into attacking the Armored Elephant demon's spiritual energy. The battle quickly stalled as the battle came to an end. With each of the spiritual energies returning to their paths, but the number of conflict spots in Yoze's body quadrupled.

Finally regaining some control of his body, Yoze used his left arm to push his nearly cut-off right shoulder back in place. 

He waited for his Life Attraction, Regeneration, Slower Muscle Deterioration, and other physical talents to connect back his shoulder and arm to his body before he stood up to look at the Elephant demon's lifeless body.

"Crack" Once Yoze stood up the Elephant demon's lifeless body took a step back accidentally stepping on a stick.

"You are still alive even after I took all your spiritual energy?" Yoze felt shocked by how difficult it was to kill grown demons. 

Even after having lost half of the flesh and muscles of the head, turning into a bloody skull, and losing the entirety of the spiritual energy they were still able to live on.

"Don't you dare think of leaving," Yoze growled as a burst of deep blue spiritual energy left his mouth and crashed into the retreating Elephant demon's body.

With all of its spiritual energy that flowed through its body gone the remaining spiritual energy in the Elephant demon's flesh wasn't strong enough to resist the crushing weight of Yoze's spiritual energy.  

"Boom!"

Under complete suppression, the Elephant demon's body crashed into the ground it could only helplessly watch with horror as Yoze stepped closer. Staring at Yoze's eyes and seeing the multi-colored sparkles in his gaze made the Elephant demon tremble.

Feeling how natural using the Elephant demon's technique against it, Yoze once again felt that there was more for him to learn about the nature of Spiritual Energy. 

But that was for later right now Yoze was considering whether he should kill the Elephant demon right here and now. Or should he take a risk and wait until his talent mark is refreshed and take the Elephant demon's Spiritual Manipulation talent?

"This demon has caused so much pain and suffering that killing it would be the right thing to do. It would be better if the villagers came and took the demon's life but with their strength, it would be impossible." Yoze said out loud not caring if the Elephant demon heard him.

"But they can take revenge by eating its flesh and use that as retribution for the fallen people of Rockbell Village."
