Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s disappointment, the Faceless quickened his attacks, his heavy punches crazily pounding on Ibira’s skin.

Defense capabilities always have their limits—after countless punches, Ibira’s skin suddenly cracked, the mucus on his body dispersed by great force, and the Evil Currents Defense was shattered without needing attack.

At this moment, Ibira barely kept up with the Faceless’s speed. He twisted his body, and the snake torso, along with eight octopus legs, brought Ibira unimaginable agility!

When the Faceless swung another heavy punch, the remaining mucus on Ibira’s body suddenly expanded and instantaneously turned into a bubble, which enveloped the Faceless with astonishing speed, and in the next second, the Faceless was looking into Ibira’s frenzied eyes.

”Die, worm!”

The Faceless squinted his eyes but made no significant move—winning the fight wasn’t the goal; discovering Ibira’s trump card was the Faceless’s mission.

So, he didn’t intend to break the bubble; he was simply standing, waiting for Ibira’s next move.

Yet, this action utterly surprised Wen Yu...

...

”Boom!”

In Wen Yu’s line of sight, Ibira’s body briefly straightened, then with a direct leap, he sprung high like a big spring. Subsequently, Ibira opened his mouth wide, diving downward, and instantly swallowed the Faceless into his stomach.

Honestly, all this seemed like a slow-motion replay with no life to Wen Yu—there was such a vast disparity in power. However, the feedback from the Faceless in the next second left Wen Yu dumbfounded!

”Boss...help me...”

A mere four words seemed to illustrate what kind of predicament the Faceless was suffering inside Ibira’s stomach.

Without a second thought, Wen Yu immediately summoned the power of the Soul Realm to pull the Faceless back. When Wen Yu released the Faceless once more, he found that the Faceless had already reverted to his original form.

In other words, the Faceless in Fang Yuqiong state just now was dead...

”This...”

”Conceptual lethal ability, that’s definitely it. Just entering his stomach, I encountered some irresistible force, which instantly tore and shredded me. If it weren’t for your quick reaction, boss, I would probably had to use Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives.”

The spiritual fluctuation from the Faceless explained Wen Yu’s confusion.

Hearing the Faceless’s response, Wen Yu instantly smiled.

”This time, it’s finally a bit interesting.”

...

Star Swallow (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skills): Swallow, crush, transform into nutrients, enhance oneself!

The host can devour any organic matter, creating an absolute lethal effect, and extract nourishment from the devoured objects to transform into a powerful upper limit of physical quality and nutritional value for species innate talent.

Note: This skill has no cooldown time. As long as you can swallow, the skill will activate. In other words, the activation frequency of Star Swallow depends on your speed of opening your mouth.

A super ability that integrates attack and limit-break! Hundreds of times difference in physical quality can still produce a one-shot effect, which is the strength of conceptual capabilities.

However, this skill also has some limitations.

Its initial condition for activation is ”swallow,” and just now, the Faceless merely wanted to test Ibira’s limits, which is why he ”semi-actively” endured the blow from Star Swallow.

Against enemies weaker or equivalent to oneself, the one-shot ability of Star Swallow is naturally invincible. However, facing enemies significantly stronger than oneself, this skill isn’t as promising. Nevertheless, overall, this capability is still far superior to the three skills Ibira showcased previously.

Yet, Star Swallow isn’t of much use to Wen Yu—with Wen Yu not having as large a mouth as Ibira, even with this ability, Wen Yu could only swallow rats.

...

Star Swallow successfully activated, the Faceless was killed in one strike, but the subsequent ”transform into nutrients” phase was abruptly halted.

The Faceless’s state itself is special. The Faceless solely consisted of a drop of Fang Yuqiong’s blood, providing little energy upon digestion. Consequently, it only marginally enhanced Ibira’s physical quality.

Just a few hundred points.

This doesn’t affect the current situation, but the game rule Wen Yu previously set has been fulfilled by Ibira. At this moment, Ibira twisted his body to look at Wen Yu, a trace of pride appearing in his eyes.

”How about it? Afraid? Hurry up and let me go, or I’ll swallow you whole!”

Ibira spoke arrogantly, yet his body humbly retreated to the edge of the Pitch-dark Screen—exhausted, he only managed to eliminate the dough the opponent crafted...

If Ibira couldn’t see the situation clearly now, he might be deficient in brains.

However, Wen Yu merely reopened the 4th Soul Realm with interest, and retrieved a bottle of blood from the space ring. As the blood dripped onto the Faceless’s body, Ibira’s eyes widened in anger, while Wen Yu offered an apologetic smile.

”See, he’s not dead, and you haven’t won, so the game continues.”

In the next second, the Faceless’s body suddenly swelled to a giant dragon of a hundred meters!

...

Star Swallow indeed is powerful, but when the Faceless transformed into a hundred-meter long, pitch-black scaled dragon, Ibira immediately felt liver pain.

The thirty-meter long Ibira, facing the immense Star, seemed pitifully helpless like a little brother. Even if Ibira dislocated his jaw completely, he could not fit even one of Star’s giant legs...

Unable to swallow, Star Swallow fails—at Level 5, Ibira’s size was enough to be considered massive. However, facing the Level 8 Star, Ibira’s lethal technique entirely became useless.

After the Faceless completed the transformation, he merely stood quietly in place, those yellow vertical pupils tightly fixed on Ibira, bringing incessant pressure to Ibira.

Under this pressure, Ibira completely lost words.

Compared to Fang Yuqiong, Star’s power is undoubtedly far stronger!

”I can’t win, you might as well kill me...”

After a while, Ibira finally smiled bitterly, and then he lay on the ground, adopting a resigned pose.

Until a crisp sound echoed throughout the cave.

”Snap.”

Wen Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and subsequently, in Ibira’s surprised gaze, in the Star state, the Faceless’s physical stats decreased repeatedly, lowering to around 65,000 in a short time.

A figure comparable to Ibira!

”This time, shouldn’t we have a fair fight?”

After saying this, Wen Yu saw Ibira still remained silent, and added another sentence.

”If you can’t win, you die. If you win, you live... and I’ll grant you a magnificent fortune!”
