Chapter 459: [ Soul Essences ]

Allen smiled at her action and his hand reached out, caressing her brown colored hair lovingly. He then discovered that her face had started to turn red, revealing an expression that a blushing normal girl would have. All in all, she had become even more adorable than before.

Allen chuckled, causing Grafilia to hang her head down in shame. Although she was embarrassed but deep within her heart, she was filled with sweetness and happiness causing her lips to curl upwards.

Usually, only in a full moon can she show herself and be with him. After all, her size was unchangeable… but now! She can be with him, whenever she wanted, just like Baishe and the others!

Lastly, Fiona, Allen’s Griffon. She has the strangest evolution.

From a beast that has an upper body of an eagle and lower body of a lion, Fiona transformed into a bipedal humanoid beast. It was different from Grafilia who had acquired human form as Fiona was a female human with a lower body of a lion. She has arms in a form an eagle’s claw and behind her was a pair of large eagle wings, almost reaching her overall height if unfurled and a long tail of a lion.

Her brown feathers had tinged with crimson hue. She was almost naked as only a small skirt like fur covered her waist and breast. Though, it was more of a pareo made up of fur rather than a short skirt.

She was beautiful. Allen can even see several feathers hanging on her black colored hair. The supple and protruding chest was proudly revealed from the small piece of cloth covering them. Under the faint red colored light from the Lava Rivers beneath them, her appearance was both lovely and enchanting.

If one looks closely, she has red lining around her eyes and mouth, looking as if she was using a red lipstick. The beautiful rhombus shaped eyes contained traces of passion filled moisture. Attractive but had a scent of danger…

The moment she appeared, her piercing but attractive eyes found Allen and suddenly smiled. Her smile was extremely beautiful. However, unlike Grafilia who had kneeled in respect and affection, Fiona was much more direct. She immediately flew in front of Allen and throws herself on him. She basically didn’t put up any guard against him. When she reached, she rubbed her face at Allen’s chest like an affection-seeking cat.

Allen smiled wryly. “I’m sorry to call all of you all of a sudden. But I need your help,”

“What master’s will, this servant will surely fulfill them!” Grafilia said firmly.

“Master can call us anytime!” Lan also added as she flew beside Allen.

“That helps me a bit,” Allen stroke Fiona’s head and turned his head towards the surrounding monsters. All of the summoned beasts followed Allen’s gaze and the moment they saw the monsters, all of their eyes immediately narrowed.

Killing intent poured like a broken floodgate.

Kill!

Kill them all!!

“Play for a bit~” Allen chuckled at their expression. After saying that, the eyes of the tamed beasts instantly gleamed with an excited ray. They seem like children who had found a chest full of toys and sweets and become extremely excited.

For master!

These silly fellows, from beginning to now… and to the future, will always have only one thought in their minds—only one belief!

For Allen, they would kill everything that would stand in front of him!

Even if it’s the entire world! That belief became stronger than ever the moment they achieve their newest evolution!

“Go,” After speaking, apart from Lan, Qin, Grafilia, and Fiona, all of the tamed beasts immediately dived down and entered the chaotic battlefield.

Seeing their excitement, Allen shook his head in helplessness. These guys, they really love fight… even his originally cute and adorable Lightning was now tainted by evil—though because of that, they slowly reached this stage and can now be said to be real powerhouses!

If they live in the mortal realm, who would still dare fight them…?

Tilting his head, Allen’s gentle and warm expression turned ice cold. He icily stared at Hanjin who was also being protected by several beasts while he was undergoing some kind of power-up.

The same status… the same title…

But! Both of them had one special different!

That was, the monsters around them! Hanjin’s people were ruled by fear and power, one just needs to show their attitude and expression. While Allen ruled with love and affection.

One was a tyrant; one was a benevolent king…

Who will emerge victoriously…?

“No matter what kind of power-up you have, you will still suffer defeat,” Allen smiled confidently. In front of his family, showing weakness is not an option!

—though, in actuality, he was only benevolent to his family! But in front of his enemy—he was a malignant!

*** ***

On the opposite side, Hanjin slowly his body being covered by a hot magma as he slightly swung its huge fiery tail. Each time the huge fiery tail swung, it would create quite a strong wild wind in the sky, sweeping a large area of trees. It could be imagined just what kind of terrifying force was contained within that huge tail.

Hanjin was powerful… even Allen admit that! He was far more stronger compared to him!

Thanks to Allen’s numerous OP abilities, especially his Physiques, he had confidence in physical combat. But Hanjin seemed to surpass even him in terms of brute strength and endurance… just slightly though…

A beast surpassing that of the strongest race? What a bad joke to hear but too bad… it was real! Pair that with his monstrous perception that even equaled his after stacking various OP abilities, and it becomes a giant pain in the ass.

Allen sighs.

“Master, please let me help you,” Along with Grafilia, Qin floated beside Allen. Her piercing cold gaze glared at Hanjin hatefully. Her master’s enemy is her enemy!

Allen heard Qin’s voice and turned towards her. She was a couple of inches taller than his usual and normal appearance. He was just taller compared to him right now because of his Demonic Trigger and horns. But if he undoes his transformation and returns to his normal appearance, she would certainly be a bit taller.

She has a figure almost similar to Mireya or Grafilia but a bit inferior to a perfect and ideal ‘S’ form of snake people like Baishe and Lama. She also had slightly longer, straighter and beautiful red colored hair than Lama.

Right now, Qin has one of the highest ranks among his beasts— Mid-Queen Class monster. With the power that can control both flame and lightning—[ Thunderblaze Qirin ] a variant class monster.

She was quite slender with an athletic build. Her breasts were quite small compared to Baishe and the others, yet firm and she had a nice, shapely ass in her black stretch pants. She had become even more beautiful and attractive after her evolution!

This sudden thought startled Allen. Damn! He couldn’t help but cursed inwardly. What is he thinking in a middle of a dangerous battle…?!

However, he can’t really be blamed as the moment he entered, Demonic Trigger, Allen’s evil thoughts will found a pillar to cling on and they would surely launch a rapid assault on his mind, slowly influencing him to act on his deepest desires. And because, whether it was to kill or to feel pleasure, it will certainly crash on his mind even if he didn’t like it.

Allen sighed and smiled wryly. Staring at the guard-like monsters around Hanjin, he thought it wouldn’t be that bad to let them handle these monsters. In any case, the abilities seemed to be just about the same, just that, among the three monsters guarding Hanin, two of them were clearly emitting a peak Emperor Realm power and almost a Lesser Deity!

Well, if something really did happen to them, he could just back them up. Sometimes, they needed to have an opponent like them, so that they can gain much experience than bullying scraps and small fries. In this way, they can also dig much deeper into their potentials!

“Alright, but be careful!” Allen smiled faintly.

“Defeat? Ha ha ha,” Hanjin seemingly heard Allen’s mutter and couldn’t help but glanced at him and his servants who did not make any move. The laughter of he burst out was like rolling thunder that billowed throughout the sky without resting. “Little monster king, I indeed greatly underestimated you time after time… however, as for who will be the winner between us, it’s already engraved in stone ever since the fight began. In this world, I am the King… I am God!”

“… …”

“Four hundred and twenty-four years ago, during my battle with the Monster King of Cheery Slaughter, that time. That abominable woman had almost killed me, but fortunately, I managed to escape quickly. But even at that time, I didn’t feel as much danger as today…” After saying this, Hanjin’s huge tail swing slightly.

His gaze stared intently at every action Allen made.

“… You are the first person that could threaten my life to such an extreme. I would never have thought that I would suffer defeat by your hands much less die… Just a little, if you were stronger by just a little bit more, I would definitely be in danger today.”

“But now…!! I will make sure I can kill you today to spare myself for future trouble!!” As he said that, Hanjin’s body slowly expanded in size. Then his body which was covered in magma burned in flames. The flames were high that it was more than 4-5 meters tall.

As he changed his hand seals, the flame formed itself into a giant torso that covered Hanjin’s entire body.

Seeing this transformation, Allen’s brows can’t help but twitch. What is this…? Susano…?

A tiger-like beast made up of magma and flames appeared before Allen.

It looked like extremely powerful with hard muscles and it had realistic features which included its eyes, horns, tail, four legs as well as other details. It looked like a sculpture that was sculpted by a master.

A beast form of a Susano…?

When did they transport into a Ninja Universe? More so, to find that this monster had the bloodline of the Uch*ha’s… Ha ha now this is interesting… Allen’s grinned.

Grrrr—!! “Feast your eyes; this is my Magma Beast Form, Hell Blaze Tiger King!!” Hanjin howled excitedly.

“Then, it’s my turn…” Allen snorted. “Don’t think you’re the only one who can do something like that!”

Allen’s eyes stared intently at Hanjin’s new form. The thought that he was struggling with in his heart was suddenly set down. His hands slowly extended out of the black windbreaker. The long white hands of his were like that of a lady’s and appeared to not possess any strength.

“Hee extremely stubborn! You still not willing to give up? You may possess quite an ability but in my current form, the chance of you winning has already burned out!” Sensing Allen’s action, Hanjin immediately stopped his moving body. His ferocious eyes stared intently at Allen and were somewhat irritated as he laughed coldly.

“War? Defeat? I had experienced those things many times to the point that I had already lost count. Pain, death… everything around you stands still, as if the world stopped for a moment, then slow down—the feeling of despair. Then, before you knew it, everything was over… such things always happened. However, what’s the use of giving up? Pain and fear make us feel that we are alive… that we can still fight!”

“Then, that makes the situation not that bad…!” Allen grinned evilly. “You’re alive so you can fight! The sound of agony! The cries of despair—all this knowing that you’re a survivor, especially from a hopeless situation—it always feels great!” Allen growled towards Hanjin, the mark on his cheeks, spread again, almost covering his entire face. His red eyes gleamed brightly, “Don’t look down on me, stupid! I had my share of despair as well! I’ve killed people like crazy, survive countless hopeless situations and grow—just to survive!!”

“…!!?”

“You’re powerful than me, true—but let me give you one piece of advice, victory, and death go hand in hand. Don’t let your guard down, until your opponent is dead. You don’t know, the end might not be what you expect it to be!”

“… …” Hanjin’s magma beast form showed a frowning look. “If that’s how you talk, then show it to me…” Show me what a weak human who was masquerading as a Monster King like you, can do!!

“Master…” Fiona and the rest gathered around Allen, their faces solemn and serious.

Allen smiled warmly at them, though due to his current appearance, he looks rather intimidating and devilish. “No need to worry, as a man, you have to do something like this from time to time~”

For master to say something like that…

He sounds COOOL!!!

--Although he sounds, no he was cool but…

Unlike the starry-eyed Fiona and Lan, Grafilia and the rest still felt worried.

“Wishful thinking, hmph! I will show you the difference in our positions very soon…!”

*** ***

Wooosh.

Ignoring Hanjin’s mocking words, Allen’s hands were placed in front of him facing the sky. He was slightly quiet. A cold chilling small lotus rose on his left hand.

At this moment, the surrounding temperature around Allen descended. It was so cold that the air around it seemed to have frozen in an instant. A faint icy cold feeling began to shroud the tip of Allen’s finger, causing the joint of his fingers to become slightly white.

“Hm…?” Feeling the sudden change, Hanjin growled, clearly at a loss. At that moment, his expression abruptly changed drastically as the following development caused him to be unable to believe reality. His eyes, which were staring at Allen’s every movement suddenly shrunk.

At Allen’s palm, he appeared to have vaguely seen a somewhat white colored thing. Moreover, a coldness was actually slowly seeping out from it.

Hm? Coldness…? Hanjin sensed the temperature of the entire open ground had suddenly fallen and his expression changed once again. Soul Essence!!

That is certainly Soul Essence with Ice-type energy!

As Hanjin was shocked to see the white lotus, soul essence of Allen’s beloved Ice Queen, it suddenly noticed a cluster of blood colored flame suddenly rose on Allen’s right hand. And in an instant, Hanjin’s enormous tiger eyes abruptly shrunk. An unknown and extremely horrified emotion appeared in the tiger’s eyes in a human-like manner.

“This is also a soul essence?! Dammit, dammit! So that’s what it was!! So that is the reason why you are able to showcase extraordinary strength in terms of Ice and Fire energy!!” Hanjin’s face showed as if he was enlightened by something. Then, it changed into a confused expression.

“… But, that’s impossible. How can this be possible? How can you possess two types of conflicting soul essences inside your body? Why does your body still remained intact!!? Why are you still alive!!?” Sensing the terrifying temperature that the snow lotus and the blood colored flame emitted, Hanjin was momentarily stunned. He let an exclaimed voice full of question and disbelief.

The Ice Soul Essence and the Blood colored Flame Soul Essence seems to be both high-level soul essences and yet, how is it possible to coexist inside a single body…?!

“This is impossible!!” Immediately, Hanjin’s beast body trembled as though someone had stepped on his tail. His sharp voice was corrupted as he gasped in the sky.

It was unscientific!

If Allen was cultivating these two conflicting elements, in the beginning, using his own body then, Hanjin would somehow accept it. Although it was extremely difficult it wasn’t impossible!

However, absorbing conflicting soul essences of such high-level essence from external sources, Hanjin just couldn’t understand how it had succeeded! One must know, these soul essences weren’t originally coming from a single body but—soul essences of high-grade beasts!

The aura coming from it speaks of their own existences!

As a beast himself, how could he not realized it…?

Looking at Allen’s hands, Hanjin couldn’t help but inhale a deep breath of cold air. His heart was in total chaos. In his rich experience, he had never heard of anyone who could possess two types of soul essences much less, two conflicting soul essences at the same time.

One should know that the nature of a soul essence was overbearing and they possessed a great destructive ability.

They are basically beasts in nature!

They were ferocious and savage. Thus, these soul essences will also contain these beasts’ natural instincts!

Consuming it was like inviting two ferocious beasts inside one container!

And if that happened, what do you think will happen?
