Chapter 844 - 844
A scorpion-tailed tiger enveloped in purple flames and a remarkably tall silver-armored beast appeared simultaneously before the Primordial.The moment Eiji landed, he charged straight toward the Primordial!
The two Beast Vassals quickly adjusted their combat stances, preparing to attack simultaneously.
The scorpion-tailed tiger's eyes glowed, its entire body brimming with magical energy ready to be unleashed.
But in the blink of an eye, the enemy vanished from its sight.
It froze in confusion.
This meant it had already lost the opportunity to strike.
Only when Eiji appeared right before its eyes did it finally react.
To the Primordial, this looked like the beast had spaced out, earning a look of disdain from her.
The scorpion-tailed tiger wasn't very skilled in combat—it must have grown too complacent from peaceful days, becoming this absent-minded!
She would definitely discipline it properly later!
Beast Vassals possessed will.
They could make choices, had experiences, and understood human speech.
This meant they were intelligent beings themselves, capable of thought processes similar to humans.
As long as they were constrained by such thought processes, they couldn't evade the technique of Fleeting Shadow.
"Slice!"
Caught off guard, the scorpion-tailed tiger's body was severed in two.
Before it could even display its abilities, it dissolved into pure magical particles with a stunned expression and returned to the Primordial's body.
Meanwhile, the armored beast remained unaffected and launched its attack immediately.
Thick mist emanated from its body, densely enveloping Eiji's entire form.
In that instant, Eiji sensed a force attempting to influence his body.
It was the mist!
He instantly understood—the mist sought to assimilate his body!
The power of the Fourth Beast Vassal, Armored Silver Mist, was an amplified version of a vampire's ability. It could vaporize both living beings and matter, causing them to instantly lose their original form!
Eiji's gaze sharpened.
His formidable will, like a general's command, suppressed all affected parts of his body as if they were soldiers. His physique solidified into unshakable rock in an instant, swiftly shaking off the vaporization effect.
A demon's body wasn't so easily assimilated!
Facing the armored beast that stood at least fifty meters tall—comparable to a skyscraper—Eiji grinned.
He swung his sword!
The armored beast immediately vaporized, attempting to evade the sword energy's damage.
"Groooaaaaah——————!"
A long, pained howl echoed.
The surrounding mist rapidly coalesced, reforming into the armored beast that had been severed by the sword light, its shattered body soon vanishing completely.
"Why?"
The Primordial stared in stunned disbelief, feeling that there were far too many incomprehensible things happening today.
Hadn't the armored beast vaporized?
Theoretically, shouldn't it be immune to all physical attacks?
Why was it severed by mere sword energy?
There wasn't even any scent of anti-magic power like the Holy Lance on that demonic sword!
"Just some mist—is it harder to cut than ghosts?"
Eiji looked quite pleased.
Cutting down several giant monsters in succession had put him in an excellent mood!
The Primordial glared at him furiously.
But within her anger, there was also a mix of fear and viciousness.
She didn't understand anything about slashing or not, but while the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger and Armored Beast bought time, she had already summoned her trump card!
"Come forth—Number Eleven, Sadalmelik Albus (Water Spirit's White Steel)!"
"Kekekeke...!"
An eerie laughter echoed.
In the blink of an eye, a gorgon appeared before the Primordial.
She had the upper body of a beautiful woman, while her lower body was that of a bluish-white giant serpent. Her long hair was composed of countless snakes, resembling the Greek mythological gorgon Medusa.
The moment she appeared, she poured out an endless stream of water.
The water flowed as if from a treasure vase, transforming into a vast ocean that completely submerged the surroundings.
Looking around, the marble floor gradually eroded, glass fragments turned into sand, and the soil turned pitch-black... Everything seemed to revert to its original state as if time were flowing backward!
The Primordial immediately leaped away, escaping beyond the gorgon's reach.
"Did it work?"
She hurriedly glanced back at the spot.
The eleventh Familiar, Water Spirit's White Steel, possessed an amplified version of a vampire's regenerative ability. While it could restore objects to their original state, it also had a destructive healing power that could revert things to their initial form!
For example, it could heal an injured person, but it could also reduce that person directly back to a fertilized egg!
"Did he escape?"
The Primordial grew furious.
She clearly saw that the moment the gorgon appeared, Eiji had already leaped away, showing no intention of making contact, as if he had sensed the danger in advance.
There was no trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, so it couldn't be the power of foresight. It was likely due to his own sharp intuition.
Immediately after, he swung his sword in a backhanded motion, and a massive blade of light instantly sliced the gorgon in two, causing her to vanish with a pained scream.
This left the Primordial deeply disheartened.
Among the nine Familiars she currently possessed, only the Twin-Headed Dragon and the Gorgon had abilities that were beyond conventional understanding, defying normal logic. The Golden Lion, Twin-Horned Horse, and Armored Beast, among others, operated within normal power limits.
Now, five of her nine Familiars had been slain by him and were temporarily unusable, leaving only four at her disposal!
Among these four, one had turned traitor and was restraining another.
Theoretically, she now had only the Great Sword and the Diamond Ram left to use!
"I can't win!"
This realization dawned on the Primordial.
If even the Twin-Headed Dragon and the Gorgon couldn't defeat him, the Great Sword and the Diamond Ram stood no chance!
"Damn it! Why is this human so strong?"
The Primordial simply couldn't comprehend it.
This guy's strength couldn't even be considered human!
Even legendary dragon slayers among humans would likely be nothing in his presence!
Even as an enemy of hers, the Fourth True Ancestor, he was far too overpowered!
Instead of reveling in her revival, she was being suppressed and beaten down. Her frustration was palpable!
"The only way now is to find a way to reclaim the powers of the Sixth and the Tenth. Only then can I repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!"
The Primordial secretly resolved.
The Sixth could sever everything in the world, even the laws of causality, while the Tenth possessed the power of enchantment!
If she could retrieve those two beast spirits, she was certain she could defeat this man!
However, neither of the beast spirits was currently by her side.
The Primordial One could faintly sense that those two vessels were at least a thousand kilometers away—there was no way to retrieve them in a short time.
"Retreat for now!"
Her unwillingness burned so fiercely it felt as though it were scorching her internal organs.
Yet even so, she understood the principle of knowing when to concede.
For now, she had no choice but to suppress her pride and frustration, letting her desire for complete power take precedence.
This wasn't running away—it was a tactical withdrawal!
"Once I regain my full form, I'll settle the score with you!"
After leaving those words behind, the Primordial One turned and fled.
