Bellerophon, the hero who devoured his own soul till he died after killing the Chimera. There was a lot of story about him and the most famous was his arrogance of using the Pegasus that Zeus greatly cherished.

……

…

The Manticore had a power, a curse to be exact, his eyes could devour the souls of the life he saw. He was a feared creature and the only one who could tame him was the Queen of Methuselahs, Lilith.

The Manticore couldn't absorb her soul because Lilith had an enormous soul. On top of that, Lilith won't die even if her soul was taken. Instead, she would be reborn to her offspring, the Line of Succubus, the species she created consisting of women only.

That was the reason why Manticore couldn't kill her, she won't die no matter how or what he did. Even in terms of strength, the Manticore would lose. He didn't have a chance of winning so he decided to be under her and served her, that was his role.

However, this man was different. The Manticore didn't feel a soul coming out of his body. The Manticore felt that the soul won't go out no matter how much he stared at him.

"Girrrraaahhhhh!!!"

He dashed as his body rampage and wrecked the ground, his feet stomped he was mad. He opened his mouth to eat him whole, since he couldn't eat his soul, he would eat his body instead. His sharp teeth glimmered destructive glow, his disgusting drool was visible making Mikael goosebumps.

"Eeewww!"

Mikael raised his empty hand, he resummoned his Lightning Void Spear. The weapon materialized in his hand creating jet black lightning. It rumbled devastating his surroundings, he held his weapon with his two hands grasping it tightly. The dashing monster saw the crackling of lightning but he didn't stop, it was too late anyway.

One meter away from each other, the Manticore witnessed that Mikael faded transforming into a bolt of lightning. His eyes tried to follow the lightning but it was too fast, a massive force slammed him. His vision was spinning, the Manticore realized that he flew in midair, his body was rotating. He wanted to gasp but excruciating pain pierced him, he was struck by Mikael. He landed on the ground flattening it, his gigantic body rippled upon impact.

"Hm, you are strong and big but you don't know how to use it. You can't even halt your body when you realized that I became lightning, what a waste, you have a strong body but you can not use it well."

Mikael appeared on top of him, lightning crackled around him as he pointed his Spear at the Manticore. The monster couldn't understand his words but he felt like he was being insulted. He roared in madness as the pain in his body lingered.

"Grrraaaggghhh!!!"

He violently moved, he tried to raise his hand but nothing move. He then realized that his hands were actually on the ground dismembered, he didn't have hands to attack him!

"Are you looking for your arms? I'm sorry but that's what I target, I slashed your hands and blasted you up."

"Grrraauuuhghhhgg!!"

Mikael's Spear sunk into the Manticore's body and activated Shock. The monster screamed as potent lightning electrocuted his inside, he shuddered terribly, and smoke slowly sipped out of him. His body was cooked, he kept screaming and begging but the lightning continued roasting him. Mikael stared at him, the Shock won't stop as long as he didn't want to stop it.

"Hoh… you have a strong regeneration. It's keeping up with my Shock, making you alive. Well, how long will it take to kill you if I do this…"

"Gggggrrrrrrraaaaaaaooooo!!!!"

Mikael put more mana in his Skill, the Shock became stronger to cook him faster. He was astonished, the Manticore's regeneration kept healing him despite Mikael putting in more power. The monster healed the burned part of his body and fought the Shock, this was the first time that Mikael experienced this. Usually, when he switched on his Shock, the monster would automatically die.

Shock was his first Skill, and it was the most fatal, that's why he didn't use it most of the time. His Shock was dangerous when touched, lightning would crawl and obliterate the opponent with its sheer voltage.

However, the Manticore didn't die. He suffered and cried as the Shock writhing inside and outside of his body, electrocuting him. Mikael started widening his eyes, this monster was different, he didn't die no matter how much mana he put in. He grinned and acknowledged that the Manticore was on top of other monsters.

"Then, let's do this!!!"

Mikael sunk the Spear deeper inside the monster, he called for more mana and cast his Lightning Spear! An outburst happened in the monster, the Manticore screeched as blood spurted out of his mouth, his organs exploded and even his stomach was ruptured. Tears flowing from his eyes as he struggled to fight the powerful lightning.

"This is…… Kuhahahaha! I see! My Lightning Spear didn't kill you, you are one of a kind, I tell you that!"

Mikael started cackling when he found that the Manticore didn't die even though his organs were destroyed.

"Then how about I do it twice!"

Mikael clenched his weapon and tried to cast another explosion. However, he stopped when the Manticore's tail tried to stab him. The tail lifted and went into him, forcing Mikael to release his Spear to parried it. He succeeded in parrying the tail but the Manticore was freed of its suffering. The monster crawled and opened his mouth to bite him.

Mikael decided to back away but the Manticore's teeth already got his left arm. Mikael grunted and generated lightning around him, the Manticore was hurt by the lightning and released him.

Mikael jumped away from the monster and landed on the rubbles, he looked at his left shoulder, his arm was missing and blood gushed out. Yup, it seemed like the Manticore got his revenge, he glanced at the monster and smirked when he saw the monster gulping his arm. The Manticore ate his arm, he licked his lips after tasting him.

"Oya, how is it? Is it delicious, my arm? Savor it because it will cost you a lot."

Mikael grinned with a fierce expression, his shoulder was aching and now the monster further annoyed him by eating his arm. Mikael was grinning but his eyes were releasing a vicious gleam.

Fucking angry, the monster made him fucking angry. He breathed a mouthful of air and took out a healing potion, the content of the potion quickly disappeared as he gulped it down.

"Now, let's see how great is this armor!"
