BXBX NOVEL Chapter 287 - Against Grotesque Flesh Trees 3
-----
Noah tried his new Skills, seeing that he could now shapeshift his body a bit more freely, while also acquiring the ability to shapeshift tentacles and divide his flesh into small monsters or "clones" although these clones possessed hideous appearances. Perhaps with some more practice, he could be able to perfectly create clones.
The small abominations that surged from pieces of his self-regenerating flesh resembled the limbs of the dragon form he had, with tentacles and jaws everywhere, they were as strong as S-Rank monsters but were easily crushed by the Flesh Trees if they were overwhelmed in numbers.
Also, as these were made improvised, they were not the smartest and could be qualified as stupid creatures, acting by instincts, and barely possessing any intelligence, even more as they were soulless as Noah didn\'t give them any split soul.
These creatures were able to obey his mental commands, however, and quickly gathered into a small army to kill some Flesh Trees, but more and more of these monsters appeared too, so they ended being crushed at the end and devoured.
However, to Noah, this was all but mere experimentation, a way to discover the potential of his powers. So he was learning a lot from this.
Perhaps with this, he could make his Blood Servants into flesh creatures as well? And if he could add the self-regeneration factor of their blood souls, but with physical flesh, perhaps they could become even deadlier.
Noah\'s Blood Servants were already spread through the battlefield, slaughtering Flesh Trees by ganging on them and then converting these trees into Blood Servants as well, increasing their numbers exponentially.
But what if Noah could find a way to completely convert the corpse and soul into a Blood Flesh Servant or something like that? He had indeed tried before, but it didn\'t sustain itself enough.
For now, Noah decided to continue the massacre with everyone else, while Iris was accompanied by his second body, which also had his soul on it, using two bodies with the same soul, so this "clone" was not technically a clone but just a second body he could use at the same time.
He used this body to be overprotective of his pregnant wife and destroyed anything that got near her with great accuracy, although this left not too much fun for Iris, she understood that he didn\'t want her to even get a scratch.
Noah continued to consume more Flesh Tress, but he didn\'t get any more Skills, it seemed that he had hit a limit or cap, perhaps.
However, he continued to relentlessly the creatures on his path with ruthlessness, destroying the beasts in front of him as a sea of Loot continued to grow bigger and bigger.
Everyone also practiced their abilities and learned how to better use their souls, SS-Rank monsters were a joke for all of them, as they were already at SSS-Rank, but they were nice punching bags to practice their power and get more accustomed to it and proved to be a decent challenge due to their resiliency.
BOOM! CRASH! CLASH!
Tremors resonated through the entire poisonous forest, as beasts from across the dungeon began to watch the scene unfold, some tried to trespass into it but were blocked by the invisible wall.
"Oh! Master, it is approaching, the Boss!" said Jon.
"Oh? Maybe the Hidden Boss was mixed in between the massacre…" said Noah, thinking that the hidden boss might have died without him realizing it was a hidden boss, as the real boss, the final boss, began to suddenly emerge from the ground, shaking the entire dungeon!
BOOM!!!
The gigantic flesh tree expanded its tentacle roots across the soil, reaching upwards and expanding its gigantic trunk with many branches releasing bloody secretions. Its many eye-fruits opened, beginning to gather crimson-red energy from within and suddenly firing it at Noah, the biggest threat it could see!
The final boss was a grotesque eldritch-like flesh tree the size of a skyscraper, with tentacles everywhere and enormous eye-fruits that fired lasers at Noah!
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
Noah quickly rushed in, as he generated a barrier fusing several skills, of wind, blood, darkness, and soul, materializing it into a gigantic aegis that protected him!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The lasers were easily reflected into different directions, as Noah was merely trying out how this powerful barrier could resist!
However, as more lasers fell over it, the shield quickly shattered, as all the lasers reached him before he could reach the flesh tree in time!
BOOM! BOOM BOOM!
Noah\'s entire body was bathed in rays of crimson-red lasers, as he tested the several stacked layers of scales he made, the lasers were able to easily penetrate the first layers, but ended stopping at the fourth layer, proving that Noah\'s powerful scale armor could even survive lasers as deadly as those of an SS-Rank monster!
Noah quickly flew into the air, flapping his bloody draconic wings and falling like a crimson-red meteor over the Flesh Tree Boss, crushing it into the ground and taking away large chunks of flesh off it!
BOOM! CLASH! SLASH!
Noah decided to go all out to see how it could take his max power, the monster had outstanding regeneration abilities and was immense, so he hoped for it to be a nice punching bag!
"Show me how far you can take my hits, I really need to test the full extent of my power!" laughed Noah with a monstrous voice, as he activated the Ancient Scion Transformation and his draconic body suddenly turned a bit more humanoid, and immensely muscular and eve more demonic-looking, he resembled an Elder Dragon of Blood and Darkness, as black winds rushed around his body through the power of the Wind Dragon Vayu he had absorbed before!
He truly looked like a monster that could end the world if it desired! Even the animalistic and stupid Flesh Tree Boss felt utter fear as the monstrous Noah emerged, quickly trying to retreat into the underground, but being stopped by a rain of punching attacks and jabs, as Noah began to use his Exceed Arts to increase his damage dealt with each successful hit!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"GRRRYYAAARR…!"
