Chapter 1024 Gluttony

Chapter 1024 Gluttony

-----
Greenwood looked into the scene through a holographic window, his face seemed to be smiling wickedly. Although seconds ago he had been completely overpowered by Drake and his entire plan went downhill, right when he almost had them all in his bag, he now was smiling as if he had already won… And it was because of the aberration he had freed.
"You forced my hand, Dragon." Said Greenwood, as he looked at the aberration when it emerged out of the underground from within the facility he had built below Heaven Port, several years in the past. "This monster has no limits; it was a trump card I prepared in case the worst possible outcome happened. Now you've not only condemned yourself, but even the entire town of Heaven Port! Rank 8 or not, this thing was something not even I could stop. Hell, perhaps you've even completely doomed the entire continent!"
Greenwood was not exaggerating in what he said. The monster in front of Drake was a being that Drake had yet to ever see in his entire life, but that was not something normal at all. A being that was… without a doubt, also a reincarnated soul.
But why?
Why did someone reincarnated into such an aberration?
"A Reincarnated Person…?" Drake wondered. The moment he tried to look at this aberration stats, he only saw strange numbers and signs, it was completely glitched. "I can't see its stats even…?! Does it has a Unique Skill that doesn't let someone see through its own stats? But how?"
Drake was the only user of a System in this world from all he knew, someone capable of hiding their own status abilities was impossible as nobody else had a system to know he could even do such a thing, yet this monster defied such previously stablished logic within Drake's mind very easily.
Alma, Hermes, and the twins stayed behind Drake, without running away with the rest of the Unique Skill Users they were trying to rescue. They wanted to stay and help however they could. However, the moment they saw that monster, they seemed surprised.
It was an aberration beyond their wildest dreams. A mass of flesh, jaws, eyes, and countless limbs. And such limbs didn't even seem to belong to this monster. Each limb was of a different skin color, meaning ice giants, humans, elves, and even other races were thrown into this monster, and somehow, it absorbed them into its own body… like a vicious mass of cancer cells that assimilated everything.
"I haven't seen something this surprising since I meet Benladann for the first time…" Thought Drake. "This monster… Just like Benladann had the Mold at the beginning, it could be related to this person's Unique Skill, but such an Unique Skill… I cannot even see it!"
"I present to you Gluttony, dragon!" Laughed Greenwood.
"Gluttony?" Drake asked.
"It is its code name. The first time I meet this monster, it had the shape of something resembling a man… a human, perhaps. But it had become such an aberrant chimera that there was no way I could see what exactly was." Said Greenwood.
Drake felt something dreadful as he heard Greenwood speak so leisurely, without a worry in the world. In fact, it made him mad as well, thinking that this knife eared bastard was laughing at him while sitting over his chair, at the security of his base.
"GRUOOOHHHHHH…!"
The monstrous aberration immediately roared the moment it saw other living beings. Its gigantic aberrant mass started wiggling around, shapeshifting an enormous, humanoid-shaped form of some sort, resembling a large and mad wolf with several arms and legs, tails, and the heads of several beasts and monsters…
"GRAAARRR!"
FLASH!
Without even hesitating, it immediately attacked Drake, even though he was giving off the aura of a Rank 8 God, even when he was merely using a Doppelganger made out of hundreds of slimes.
CLAAASH!
Drake intercepted the aberration's claws surging from its body and its body slam using his Divine Weapons and unleashing a powerful parry with a bit of divine energy and great amounts of Mana!
SLAAASH!
The monster was sliced in four halves as Drake unleashed the power of his two weapons at once. His Draconic Scales began to glow bright silver as they exuded slight amounts of divine power.
"GRAARRR!"
However, Drake was suddenly surprised. And as the monster despite being sliced in four pieces, reassembled itself and then jumped straight towards his face, shapeshifting now in what resembled an aberrant wolf-like jaw with countless tentacles, opening wide and aiming to bite through his head off!
FLASH!
Suddenly, Skadi's [Endless Thirst For Blood] and Uller's [Berserker Blade] Abilities activated in unison, as Uller's enormous blade grew blacker with a hint of red, and Skadi's spear gained a red aura as well.
Drake quickly conjure the power of his techniques he had learned long ago, converging them all together into a combined barrage of slicing and freezing attacks against the aberration!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Vertical, horizontal, and piercing attacks all were unleashed in a matter of seconds, reaching the monstrous entity, and beginning to slice it into pieces, each part of its flesh freezing in an instant!
"I won't have mercy."
Drake mercilessly, froze and destroyed Gluttony in mere seconds, as countless pieces of frozen flesh fell into the ground, shattering into even smaller pieces…
CRAAASH!
Alma, Hermes, and the twins looked with eyes wide open at the scene, surprised of how Drake had dealt with everything so fast! Was there any need to even worry?
"Is it done?" Alma wondered. "Well, that was surprisingly easy…"
"This…?!" Drake, however, had another reaction compared to their own. "RUN! You can't fight this thing head-on, RUN!"
"What?!"
FLUOOOSH!
Drake immediately conjured an enormous gust of winds, sending away the group of four elves from getting into his way.
Greenwood smiled from within his hideout, looking at the scene.
"So you've realized, haven't you? No matter how hard you try, you'll only make Gluttony grow stronger."
