Chapter 224
Ellie"s QI blew away Gazef . Her anger kept on increasing, as it fueled her QI . Her eyes seemed to get redder as she looked at her enemy, and she pursued him like a hunter . She moved as if she was kicking air, leaving sonic booms every time she increased her speed . Her QI flared all around her body, and when she arrived in front of Gazef, it exploded as she punched him .
Gazef was sent hurling towards the ground but didn"t seem to have sustained a serious injury . He flipped in the air before he crashed, and monitored Ellie"s next move . Which was, obviously, to pursue him . "Tch…" Gazef cursed Ellie in his mind as he turned around and flew away . He didn"t fight Ellie but instead escaped from her, running around the crumbled castle, while being bound by the Wind Cage .
"Stop running…STOP RUNNING YOU FAKE KING!" Ellie"s anger started to consume her, as she couldn"t cool down after hitting Gazef . She followed after him but was unable to catch him . That is, until, Gazef stopped himself . Ellie increased her speed, adamant on catching him this time . However, due to her anger, she failed to notice something important . Gazef"s arm had regenerated .
"I wasn"t running, you ungrateful bi*ch!" Gazef retaliated by extending both of his hands, trying to bind and choke Ellie . This time, killing her for sure . However, he failed to wrap his hands around her, as her QI burned in a way that made her akin to a small moving explosion . He could not touch her with his bare hands .
"DIE!" Unable to bind her, Gazef was left wide open . Ellie used this chance to drive her fist deep into his face . This time, she was able to feel his facial bones breaking, like salt crackers, under the immense force of her punch . Yet, unsatisfied, Ellie didn"t allow his body to fly away . She caught one of his extended his arms, with her left hand, and continued to pummel him with her right one . Next thing she knew, Ellie"s legs, as well as Gazef"s whole body, were on the rubble of the castle . His face was akin to a liquid/solid slushy made of human flesh .
"I"m not done yet…!" Ellie was trying to charge up another attack, one that would be able to obliterate Gazef"s whole body, she felt sharp pain from the right side of her abdomen . She looked at it, only to see that Gazef"s hand, now covered with greenish black scales, had cut her . Ellie grit her teeth to bear with the pain while retreating to the back . She couldn"t believe that Gazef was able to move with his head being mushed so she kept monitoring him .
Something astounding happened in front of her . Gazef"s hand, as is it was a being on its own, decapitated him . The body, still on the ground started to wriggle around, and then moved as if it was being electrocuted . Ellie felt sick to her stomach by looking at such a scene . Then, as if time had been rewound, a head emerged . Gazef"s head .

Then, as if time had been rewound, a head emerged . Gazef"s head .
"It"s not over yet…" Gazef said as he snorted some blood filled mucus . His whole body started to shine as if it was coated by oil . One by one, small black-greenish scales covered his body, turning into the pattern of a snake . It wasn"t only one snake, but five . Two on each arm, one on his chest, one on his back, and the last one was around his neck .
Ellie couldn"t believe what she was seeing . She had seen Gazef before, and he always looked like a human . It was the first time she had seen someone transform to such a degree . Her pain brought her back to reality, snapping her out of her deep thoughts . She put one of her gauntlet fingers into her wounds, cauterizing it with the intense heat .
"Your face tells me that you"re curious about this transformation . It"s very simple actually . During my younger years, I was able to stumble upon the carca.s.s of a monster, unlike any of this world . It was a five-headed dragon, and each head resembled a long serpent . Luckily, the dragon was turned into stone by someone, or I would have died before . However, the curious thing was that its heart was still beating . So, without even thinking about it, I ate its heart . And, just like that, I fused with its properties . We were compatible since I was a snake beastman . Now, I am the closest thing to a dragon in this world!"
Gazef boasted as he opened both of arms wide . Ellie looked at him a fraction of a second before scoffing at him . "So, what? You"re a dragon? Good for you . I"m a tiger, the only creature that is able to best a dragon! If you were able to attain a higher form by eating the heart of a dead creature, then I"ll do it on my own, without the help of anyone else!"

"I believe it"s time for us to finish this up . I don"t feel the joy that comes from fighting strong beings . Instead, I can only feel annoyance…" Eric, with the head of the gorilla beastman in his hand, said as he looked at the remaining four guards . A peculiar aura was being released from his body . An aura, unlike anything the guards had ever seen before . After all, it was Eric"s personal original technique, one created with the sole purpose of surpa.s.sing Ed .

"You…What are you?" The leopard man said as his ears flattened against his head . The other guards had similar reactions, as their bodies reacted instinctively to the threat that was Eric .
"Me? I"m an Avalon . The strongest second prince of the strongest family in the world . Ingrain this name deep into your hearts . " Eric said as the aura surrounding his body grew stronger . His blond hair turned light emerald green, while cracks of the same color appeared on his body . A dark green fume protruded out of these cracks .
"I"m no longer taking it easy on you guys . You"re too strong for me to win by normal means, so you can"t blame me for going all out . "Ellies QI blew away Gazef .
