Chereads / The lord of life and death / Chapter 91 - 91. Self - Destruction

Chapter 91 - 91. Self - Destruction

Rain again dodged the foot of the monster, the monster wanted to squash rain under his foot. Vale after turning into a monster looks like a red troll with no skins grew taller and now Rain reaches only the waist of the monster. 

Rain again dodged this time a slap, Rain attacked multiple times but the monsters showed no reaction, and now Rain's full strength could only land a shallow cut on Vale. Before he deliberately left shallow cuts on Vale's body to torture him and now even though he tried he can only leave shallow cuts on Vale, which are instantly healed.

This is the second time Rain's overconfidence leads to a bad situation. First, he got out of the dilemma because of the rain now he cannot think of an effective solution. He tries to use his soul power to influence the monster but does not work and using illusion to make himself vanish works but the monster starts to return to where his friends are.

He became an alchemist in only a day, even though he reached the second realm of Alchemist- The phantom crown realm, he was still crude in the manipulation of soul power and he still lacked knowledge of how alchemists fight.

Rain can last against the monster and does not receive any injuries, where he is 10 times weaker than the monster because after Vale transforms into the monster, his intelligence disappears. Rain again dodged this time a carriage was thrown at him, Rain again scanned the monster with his soul power and noticed the vitality of the monster was less than when Vale transformed into the monster.

Rain asked the soul chip to calculate when all the vitality of the monster will be consumed. 

And receive a reply - 2 hours as he dodges another attack. So, I will have to dodge for 2 hours more against the monster to win the fight but he himself is tired as the injuries still affecting him, and running and dodging consume his energy too. 

Rain looks at the forest ahead and decides to enter the forest. In the open ground, the monster has a clear sight at him to attack. Inside the forest, the tree will help him to create obstacles from the monster's attack. 

With that Rain runs toward the forest and the monster chases behind him inside the forest monster follows uprooting trees along the way. Because of the downpour, all the animals in the forest are hidden under the shade of trees but after the monster chases him inside, some animals run alongside him escaping the monster. The trees slow him down as the monster did not attack him.

Rain thinks, 'Why is there no sound behind me?' and glances behind him toward the monster because he does not hear the monster's heavy footsteps and the sound of trees uprooting as the monster chases behind for a moment and glancing sees the monster holding a tree and throws toward him. 

Rain seeing this bent down and the tree flew above his head and the tree landed on animals running from the monster. Rain stands up and is ready to run and then sees a bizarre scene of the animals crushed by the tree. From their dead bodies' blood flew toward the monster and Rain turned to see that the blood landed on the body of the monster and was absorbed by the monster.

Rain cannot make anything of the bizarre scene and dodges again when the monster throws a tree again, this time the tree does not harm anyone. Except for him standing and watching the monster all the animals ran without stopping. 

Rain starts running again, and then the sound of the soul chip sounds in his mind." Vale's vital energy increases now, and for him to consume all the energy required is 2 hr 17 minutes. Rain dumfounded sends back," Why." the soul chip. When he led the monster inside the monster, the time to consume entire vital energy was 2 hrs. ' So what happened?' At the same time as the chip answered, the reason also came to Rain's mind," The monster absorbed the blood of animals. 

Rain murmurs,' I have to lead the monster back to the clearing. The forest is filled with animals. Even all the animals are running away from the monster.' The monster chasing him in the forest increases the chance of the monster to kill other animals and replenish his vital energy.

Rain starts to run toward his left. He cannot directly run back; otherwise, he will collide with the monster. Rain does not even turn to see the monster following him. The monster's heavy footsteps give him away.

Rain stumbles as his legs truck inside muddy ground and curses," shit." The downpour still falling around him, it made the ground muddy. The mud reached up to his knee with difficulty Rain crossed the muddy ground. As Rain ran toward the clearing suddenly Rain heard a boom sound from behind and the ground shook like an earthquake. 

Rain glances behind to find the monster's fallen with his face on the ground and it is having difficulty getting up. Rain thought the monster had fallen because of the muddy ground. But in the back of the monster is another monster because of its vision with a dear head and body, legs of a night leopard, wings of an eagle, and skin of a snake. 

'It's a chimera combination of various animals.' Rain found the chimera looking at him carefully, Rain found the eyes of the chimera are similar to a tree spirit race with green pupils surrounded by golden rings. 

Rain understood tree spirit race sent someone to rescue them, Then the chimera was not a monster but a tree spirit of changer profession.

Then the two started fighting, The changer had the upper hand as it could fly so the monster could not attack.

The soul chip,' 1 hr 57 minutes.' ' 1 hr 43 minutes.' every attack of the changer consumes the vitality of the monster at rapid speed. And the monster cannot even land a hit on the changer. The huge size of the monster for Rain became an obstacle to defeat the monster but now the size become a living target against the speed of the changer.

Rain from Glenn's mother is also a changer but only the first realm of changer and the changer fighting the monster is a second realm changer. From Glenn's memory, there are six realms of 'changer profession'- 

The first realm is ' Transform'- In this realm, one can transform any animal after they understand the animal. 

Second realm ' Chimera'- One can combine various body parts of the animal they understood to create an extraordinary animal. 

Third realm ' Arbor' - Now with animals one can transform into plants and trees and combine with their extraordinary form. 

Fourth realm ' Terra' - One can transform into stone, metal, water, and anything that has a material form. 

Fifth Realm ' Elementis' - One can transform into any energy they comprehend. 

Sixth Realm ' Demon' - Changers after transforming into their Extraordinary form will have their extraordinary power but after reaching 'Demon' one does not need to transform the extraordinary form is combined with their body creating a sub-race of 'Tree Spirit'.

That reason is many sub-races of tree-spirit but their treatment is different from the sub-race born from children of human and tree-spirit. As those sub-races are pure tree-spirit after they advance the demon realm which is one realm below the god. And from birth, the children of Demons are extraordinary as they inherited the genes of their parents.

Rain hears a roar released from the monster and the soul chip vital energy of the monster can last for less than half an hour. The monster starts to shine with a red light and fills up like a balloon. Seeing this Rain starts running from the monster as senses smell danger from the monster and sees the monster fill up like a balloon he understands it is going to self-destruct. And when this happens Rain does not want anywhere near the monster. 

Rain felt the wind blowing near him and saw the changer flying beside him. Rain looks at the deer head of the changer signaling Rain to hold him. Rain then jumped on the Changer's back as it flew above and then they heard the sound of the monster self-destructing. 

In the air, Rain felt the force of self-destruction and then the changer started to descend beside the camp. After the changer landed, Rain climbed down from his/her back. And then watch the leopard legs turn into the hands and legs of a tree spirit. Rain sees this turn around because when Changer transforms their clothes are destroyed in the process and after they change back they will be naked. After a few seconds, Rain hears a familiar voice, " Turn around." 

Rain turns around to see Glenn's mother now also his mother, "Ma."
