Chapter 250 - Burn It Down!

Seth's eyes were shinning with blue light and a soul force was exuding out of his body, but Grigor couldn't feel or see it, just be affected by that force.

In the next second, his vision blurred and he was brought to a place where all his memories were uncontrollably passing through his eyes.

He saw Zertis and his

"works

"; he saw the charted routes he always passed through while traveling across the Desolate Scorching Wasteland; he saw where the main base was roughly located and he even saw Barghest and Velgor's forms from afar. Those were all situations he had lived before. They were appearing before his eyes in the form of memories.

However, he felt like they were not randomly appearing there, but they were being picked and seen by someone else.

Crack!

Suddenly, his whole world shattered as his consciousness felt a ripping force trying to shred it to pieces. Seth wasn't even trying to kill him and that was the mere effect of forcefully reading someone's memories.

As he was digesting everything he had seen, Seth released his grip over Grigor, letting that demon fall flat on the floor. His body spasmed uncontrollably, since he was suffering the greatest pain, he had ever felt.

Grigor couldn't even properly scream, since his consciousness was at the verge of collapsing. He felt his vision darkening and his life fading away. It was already too late, but his unwillingness to die made him execute one last action.

The Cerberus Clan was focused on taming demonic creatures from all kinds. Their favorite creature was the hellhound, since it was the ancient hellhound called Cerberus, the one that gave life to their clan. But even though they had seen and tamed a lot of creatures, there were some that even a clan of degenerates like them considered as forbidden.

But even though that creature was forbidden in their eyes, it didn't mean they wouldn't try to create or tame it.

Grigor tried to look towards Seth one last time, while making a sinister expression. Deep inside his chest, at his heart area more precisely, a summoning circle light shone bright.

Pah!

A creature spawned right inside his body, instantly consuming his heart muscles and the Mana inside his energy veins as a source of energy. That creature finished its meal in no time, like it was a carnivorous parasite. After that, it took root at that empty space and instantly took control of Grigor's body functions.

Seth was very pleased that he had found the place he wanted to find, when he suddenly saw Grigor's dead body rising from the ground. There seemed to be something amiss with him, since it was easy to realize the differences on his aura. His new aura was more like an aura of death.

Bang!

Grigor's Mana expanded inside his veins as it suddenly advanced to the Profound Mana Realm. A Mana shockwave suddenly happened, making Seth distance himself from him.

There were many cages on that room, where there were many modified

"creatures

" caged in. With that mana shockwave, most of them were released from their cells.

At that moment, Lan Xue arrived at the entrance of that room as well, just in time to witness the grotesque scene that was about to happen.

The Mana signature around Grigor's body, started to resonate with the energy those modified creatures had. One by one, they exploded in pieces and those parts and limbs started to get attracted towards his body, initiating a bizarre fusion process.

The whole room, turned into a gruesome scenario where blood and limbs were flying towards a certain point, merging together into a horrifying creature.

The scene was so disgusting that it sent chills down the spine of those who happened to see it, not because of the powerful energy fluctuations, but because it was bizarre. Very quickly, a gruesome monster made of flesh and limbs started to form. There were so many arms and legs joined together, that it was past the centipede level already; however, they were not aligned. It assumed a disgusting round form that couldn't even be properly described and the worst part, were the hundreds of human and animalistic heads present around its whole body.

"What the **?

" Seth was totally disgusted by that thing. It formed in less than a minute, but the horrifying impression it gave, would last forever.

Bang!

After it had fully formed, passing over the fifteen meters tall mark, even the ceiling had been destroyed and turned into body material as well. There was another aura expansion, but this one was a bit less powerful. Seth was able to feel it had reached the Profound Mana middle-stage realm after that second aura expansion; however, it stopped there.

GRRRRR!!!

The uncountable number of heads opened their mouths to shout, but the sound it was able to produce should not even be called as a shout, but just a loud disordered noise.

The hundreds of hands and legs started to move forward, crawling their way towards Seth. It wanted to kill him at all cost and absorb him as well.

'What the ** is this creature? It seems to be a deformed undead chimera.'

Seth didn't want to stay near that grotesque thing, so he suddenly vanished in the shadows while leaving a specter behind. His Specter of Darkness run the other way, luring that mindless creature away. That action gave Seth time to thoroughly change his approach. He would be burning that thing down to ashes with his powerful flames.

As the monster was about to attack the specter, it felt hundreds of filaments of fire exploding on its back. Each one of them was just like a powerful blast from a huge fireball.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge chunks of flesh were destroyed by those explosions, badly injuring the monster. Being huge was not necessarily a good thing, since at a time like this, it could be easily hit by any kind of ranged attacks.

GRRRRRRRR!!!

But after its next action, Seth noticed a problematic thing.

The monster made that strange noise and the surviving creatures around the room, exploded once again, forming a shower of replaceable parts for it. Those parts quickly flew towards that round and horrifying body, connecting at those previously destroyed places.

Seth furrowed his eyebrows, after realizing there were many other chimera-like experiments inside the room and it would take a lot of time to take that monster down, if he kept fighting like this.

Seth also realized that there were some things he could do to quickly finish this. One of them was using a massive destruction skill, like the Doomsday. However, he didn't want to use that skill here, since everything would inevitably collapse on them if he did that, so he chose the second option.

Seth's real body vanished once again, appearing in the middle of the room. At the same time, he undid the Specter of Darkness he was using as a dummy, attracting the monster attention towards himself.

Grrrrr!

It started to madly charge towards him, but it was inevitably going towards a trap.

The fire elemental energy around Seth's body intensified, as he prepared to release it inside the whole room. When the grotesque creature was about to arrive in front of him, Seth released it just like Huo Shihong had done inside the Fire Labyrinth.

At that time, Huo Shihong had used the Purifying Flames, burning and purifying everything with flames. That is the effect produced by the Phoenix bloodline inheritors. However, Seth's flames didn't have that effect, since he didn't have that bloodline. His flames were actually bathing in the well of tyranny, because they had affinity to destruction.

Destruction was one of the subproducts that corruption could cause and that's why when his body started to release that fierce flaming aura, even Lan Xue decided to move away. She was rather impressed that a Mana Control peak-stage cultivator, would make her feel like moving away from one of his skills.

BOOM!

The whole area suddenly exploded. The flames consumed everything in front of them, be it flesh, bones, rocks, cages and even the remaining modified beasts. Everything turned into ashes in a single second.

That huge fifteen-meter-tall round and deformed body, burned in flames, turning into a huge pile of charred limbs. But even though it was burning continuously, it still tried to activate the absorption skill, trying to recover itself. However, this time it wasn't able to absorb anything.

Seth knew it was still alive, so he concentrated more Mana on his palm, transforming it into one of the skills Huo Shihong loved the most: The Phoenix Beam.

However, Seth was only able to use it, since he had the Fragmented Law of Fire, the primordial fire law that was the origin of all other flames. But differently from Huo Shihong's skill, Seth's skill was more complete, not only because of the intensity of his Mana, but because Huo Shihong wasn't able to fully bring out the power of that skill.

Like it was a fire breath from a red dragon, a wave of flames decimated the already charred body entirely. A seconds before being hit, a small parasite ejected itself from that ugly creature, but unfortunately, it was already within Seth's calculations. He had seen it inside while using his Soul Sense.

Ghir!

The parasite burned to ashes, alongside everything else inside that room.
