1295 Dark Behemoth: the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast!
Translator: Henyee Translations
Devil Armor!
w.a.n.g Teng was wearing the devil armor and became three meters tall. His armor looked savage and there was dark force surrounding him. The devilish aura made him look like a real devil king.
No one would think he was a human.
Two red glows of light could be seen where his eyes should be, exactly like a devil armor dark apparition.
!!
He then stepped forward from his hiding spot.
The leader of the devil armor apparitions on patrol noticed him and instantly shouted, “Who’s that? Stop right there!”
w.a.n.g Teng moved calmly, pa.s.sing through the mist to stand before them.
“I went out on Sir’s order.”
It was a hoa.r.s.e and cold voice coming from within the armor. w.a.n.g Teng was speaking in the dark apparitions’ language. He merely replied with a simple sentence, not giving much information.
This was normal among dark apparitions.
The low-tier devil emperor sized him up, not suspecting a thing. He only asked the normal questions, “What’s your name?”
“Justin,” w.a.n.g Teng replied instantly.
This will be my new ident.i.ty!
“Justin? This name sounds… strange,” said Jeroff, the low-tier devil emperor.
“My name is not strange!” w.a.n.g Teng replied indifferently.
“Erm… All right, you can go in.” Jeroff only felt that the fellow was odd but he couldn’t pinpoint the reason why. Thus, he coughed and allowed w.a.n.g Teng to go in.
There was no suspicion whatsoever.
After all, w.a.n.g Teng looked exactly like a dark apparition, and he spoke in their native language.
He looked more like a dark apparition than dark apparition themselves.
w.a.n.g Teng remained calm as he walked past those creatures. He remained as composed as he could.
“So many people went out following orders today. One of them just came back,” Jeroff muttered.
w.a.n.g Teng perked up his ears. He felt that he had just heard something critical.
Just came back?
Was it the devil mind apparition?
w.a.n.g Teng turned his head and asked, “Was it one of the devil mind race?”
“Oh, do you know him?” Jeroff was surprised.
“Of course.” w.a.n.g Teng chuckled. Then, he brushed the fellow off and walked into the mist with the wave of a hand.
“Strange!” Jeroff shook his head, then dismissed all thoughts about w.a.n.g Teng altogether.
The latter entered the dark apparitions’ territory with ease, and even obtained important information.
The devil mind apparition did run off to this place.
He was certain it was the very same creature who shook him off earlier. It would be too coincidental if another of his kind would have just returned, too.
w.a.n.g Teng delved deeper into the mist as he pondered about his next step.
The most important thing was to find the sneaky apparition and save Moira.
As for the devil ovum, he would destroy it if he could. He had absorbed its Origin of Darkness, but he wasn’t sure if there were any revival methods.
Lastly, he could use that chance to investigate what the dark apparitions were up to.
He had a bad feeling that those creatures were up to no good.
Tap, tap, tap…
Another group of patrolling apparitions walked over from a distance.
That was the third encounter. The deeper he went, the more patrols he would meet.
The tight security was making his curiosity grow.
However, the guard’s ignorance robbed him of any sense of achievement for sneaking in. There hadn’t been any difficulties, at all.
Round Ball was alerted. Its voice echoed in w.a.n.g Teng’s mind. “You’re really bold.”
“Look at me. What do you have to worry about?” w.a.n.g Teng asked back.
“I have a question deep in my heart. I wonder if I should say it?” Round Ball said.
“Since you’re asking so sincerely, I will be kind and tell you the answer,” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
Round Ball became silent. In the end, curiosity won so it asked, “Are you a human or a dark apparition?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m a…” w.a.n.g Teng paused for a moment.
“What is it?” Round Ball probed.
“Of course I’m a human.” w.a.n.g Teng laughed in his heart. “What a stupid question. How could I be a dark apparition? It’s impossible.”
“Who knows? Who’d believe you weren’t an apparition if they laid eyes on you now!” Round Ball felt at a loss for words.
“You can consider me as a special person,” said w.a.n.g Teng with a smile.
He stopped and squinted the moment he finished talking.
A huge valley shrouded in black mist appeared before him. There were numerous dark apparitions patrolling and a strange, large building was practically lying p.r.o.ne within the black mist. It was a majestic sight.
Round Ball was also silent. It had obviously seen that scenery and was flabbergasted.
“There’s indeed something strange here,” w.a.n.g Teng muttered to himself.
Who would have thought that the dark apparitions silently build a base right there!
They must have some plans up their sleeves!
So many attribute bubbles! w.a.n.g Teng regained his composure and noticed countless bubbles floating around the large and strange building. His eyes lit up.
The bubbles were floating amid the black mist, and wouldn’t have noticed them if the mist hadn’t scattered a little.
They were a little far, so he didn’t use his spiritual power to avoid the risk of being discovered.
A human’s spiritual power was different from that of dark apparitions. Theirs were a little chaotic, possessing certain dark attributes. On the other hand, the human’s was pure.
To use his spiritual power, he would need to process it.
w.a.n.g Teng went closer before he could see the attribute bubbles clearly.
There were indeed countless of them!
Those objects filled up the s.p.a.ce around the giant building. He wondered where they came from.
He didn’t know that buildings could produce attribute bubbles.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t dwell on it; collecting the attribute bubbles was more essential. He instilled some dark force in his spiritual power. It would be safer and less eye-catching.
Then, he released his spiritual power and collected the attribute bubbles.
Constellation Force (Dark)*300
Constellation Force (Dark)*500
Constellation Force (Dark)*200
Constellation Force (Earth)*300
Constellation Force (Fire)*650
Divine Level Dark Talent*100
Constellation Force (Earth)*600
…
“Huh? Constellation Earth Force?” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned.
He thought that there would only be dark element bubbles, yet lo and behold, there was constellation earth force.
This isn’t right!
Why would there be constellation earth force in a place filled with dark force?
It was unexpected.
w.a.n.g Teng was confused. All of a sudden, he felt his head become numb, as if someone was staring at him.
Swoos.h.!.+
He instantly peered upwards, clearly feeling that the gaze came from somewhere above him.
Indeed, once he looked up, there was a pair of giant, crimson eyes pa.s.sing through the black mist and staring into his eyes.
w.a.n.g Teng’s pupils shrank. Cold sweat started to drip down his forehead inside the devil armor.
Scary!
Terrifying!
He felt as if he was being eyed by a frightening presence. Gooseb.u.mps appeared on his head and a chill ran down his spine.
It was the same feeling he had when he met the Devouring Nihility Beast in the past.
Out of reflex, he wanted to use his bonded beast’s power.
Only that beast’s powerful bloodline could stand up against an unknown presence.
However, he quickly dropped the thought.
It would be too conspicuous if he revealed his special skills in front of that powerful presence.
Fortunately, his mentality was strong enough. He wasn’t afraid when facing universe stage martial warriors, so he managed to calm down after a moment of shock.
The powerful presence didn’t care about him, either. It just spared him a glance, then gradually closed its eyes after not noticing anything abnormal. The crimson eyes disappeared inside the black mist.
Lucky! w.a.n.g Teng heaved a sigh of relief and stared at the giant structure with a troubled gaze.
That was not a building. It was a terrifying dark behemoth!
No, it was also a building.
It was a building that grew on its body.
“What is that?” Round Ball swallowed saliva. Its voice was filled with disbelief and shock.
“I don’t know,” w.a.n.g Teng said grimly. He paused before adding, “Let me take a look.”
He searched through the Devouring Nihility Beast’s memories for some time; then, his gaze lit up. He looked at the behemoth again and exclaimed in surprise, “If I’m not mistaken, this is the legendary dark behemoth, the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast!”
“The Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast!” Round Ball was stunned. It continued awkwardly, “I’ve never heard of it.”
w.a.n.g Teng felt at a loss. “Being among the intelligent lifeforms, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Round Ball went silent and said dejectedly, “Should I retire?”
“Cough, all right. Just joking.” w.a.n.g Teng coughed awkwardly and explained, “The Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast is an extremely powerful dark behemoth. It lives in areas with dense and thick dark force, and possesses both earth force and dark force, plus it has many amazing battle techniques, on par with universe behemoths.”
“On par with universe behemoths?!” Round Ball was dumbstruck. The little guy asked, “It… can it get bigger?”
“That’s right, this giant behemoth can grow bigger,” said w.a.n.g Teng, nodding sternly.
“Gasp, it means that Defense Planet No. 29…” Round Ball gasped, not daring to continue the sentence..
“No matter what the dark apparitions’ goals are, we need to go back and send that piece of news,” w.a.n.g Teng said in his heart.
No longer hesitating, he walked around the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast to collect attribute bubbles.
w.a.n.g Teng had ma.s.sive gains from that walk.
His constellation dark force rose from the eighth level celestial stage to the ninth.
Constellation Dark Force: 800/90000 (celestial stage ninth level)
It was incredible. His constellation dark force was at the start of the eighth stage, but now it jumped straight to the ninth level. This meant that the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast had dropped more than eighty thousand points of the constellation dark force.
His earth force had also leaped to the ninth level of the celestial stage.
Constellation Earth Force: 1200/90000 (celestial stage ninth level)
Simultaneously—He felt the changes done to his dark and earth talents after a few special attribute bubbles merged into his body.
Divine level!
It was a stage above the imperial-level!
w.a.n.g Teng was both shocked and elated, being able to feel the obvious change in his dark and earth talents. His sensitivity towards those two forces increased. It seemed that he could merge those two forces.
He had the same feeling when his wind talent reached the divine level. However, now, he was experiencing twice the effect.
w.a.n.g Teng was truly overjoyed.
However, his happiness only lasted a few seconds. His face quickly became grave.
This was obviously the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast’s talent.
How scary was that creature, to actually possess those talents?
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t even dare to imagine.
