Born in Blood

Chapter 395 Explosion

Chapter 395 Explosion

Liam had no clue what he was seeing.

A talking Abomination!

It was huge. Bigger, taller and meaner looking than Ryu.

And it spoke to them!

This wasn't a normal creature by any means, and all of Liam's guards were up.

A small voice in the back of his head told him it was a Rank 5, but he couldn't be sure.

As soon as the swarms of ticks gushed through the Abomination's body like mist, Liam's response came instantly.

Ryu, Verium and Jax were incredulous, but ready to act.

Everyone converged to where Liam was.

A shrieking, crackling noise resounded in Liam's hand as Chaos surged from his body.

BOOM!

Liam threw his sphere of chaos towards the swarm of ticks and bugs, aiming close to the wall.

The filthy mist of insects recoiled instantly, with a huge cluster of them dying on the spot.

At the same time, the wall burst apart, creating an escape from the confined space.

Fire surged and roared as it reached Jax's hand, forming a blazing spear.

A stream of condensed water gathered at Verium's feet, propelling him through the gate.

Ryu raised a clawed hand, and a large, earth-made claw-like structure burst from the stone.

Liam shot towards the opening he made, and his group followed closely while shooting attacks at the massive tick.

WHOOOSH!

The fall from a 12 story building wasn't low at all.

But not a while back, Liam had fallen from the clouds!

This was nothing!

…And, well, Verium, Jax, Ryu, and Orisa could fly.

They pulled him along as though he was some sort of bag, before they gently landed on a patch of flat ground.

It looked to be some playground of sorts, made with harmless, 'cute' Abominations.

As they landed, they were all crushed and turned to mush.

Now, the view was strange.

The Tick Abomination looked at them from twelve stories above, his gaze strangely cold and human, and definitely pissed off.

The entire colony had sprung into chaos.

Explosions and deafening booms resounded from the north, east, west and south sides of the colony.

The fire elementalists filled the colony with explosive colors.

The wind elementalists sent gusts of sharp wind in all directions.

The earth elementalists caused tremors to spread across the ground.

The water elementalists drowned larger Abominations.

And inscriptions were also being used.

Mainly Abyssal Needles, since it was the Temple's fan-favorite inscribed item. That, and Parasite Worms.

Here and there, streams and floods were beginning to gush from individual battlefields.

Buildings were being ravaged.

Abominations produced the eeriest, most disgusting cries known to man.

An array of colors filled the Isolation Barrier, paired with gunshot-like sounds.

And yet, none of that concerned the main group.

The Tick still looked at the five as though they were the insect, not it.

"That has to be the ugliest, most disgusting thing I've ever seen!" Ryu snarled, making a vomiting movement with his mouth.

Nooran, the human-sized tick, chirped in loud intervals.

Mocking laughter, it seemed like, judging by the familiar rhythm.

'Never thought Abominations were capable of human speech,' Liam thought. 'Is it a human?'

'No.'

'No, it's not. I can sense only its body and earthly element.'

Abominations had their own element.

But as Liam found out, their entire being was a center of power.

Elements weren't restricted to cores.

Liam's Chaos Pearl was a perfect example of that.

'It has no mental energy, either.'

'So it's definitely not human.'

'It's just an intelligent Abomination.'

Suddenly, the Tick jumped down.

BOOM!

And dramatically landed on the ground, like some sort of morbid superhero.

Then, it raised its head.

It 'smiled'.

FOOOOOOOO!

Instantly, a cluster of disgusting bugs formed a massive, living hive around the tick, producing a loud droning sound.

BBZZZZZZZZZZ!

At the same time, the horseflies stopped shooting overboard.

They stopped mid-air… slowly turning towards Liam and his group.

They resembled black snowflakes,?covering the sky.

Liam let out a long groan of annoyance.

This was so unfair!

Meanwhile, the hive of insects created solid tendrils around the Abomination.

Then, it shot forward!

Jax didn't wait for it to continue, spreading his arms and forming flaming spears that streaked the air.

WROOSH!

Orisa was charging a wind attack of some kind, pulling back her hands as though she was cocking an invisible bow.

FFFFFF!

Loud popping sounds echoed from Ryu's muscular body, but instead of growing bigger, his muscles simply grew stronger.

Verium began charging the Rank 5 water spear spell he'd used against the Iron Giant.

SHHHHHHH!

Water converged in the sky.

The two forces connected!

An unreal shockwave spread from the point of impact, instantly obliterating a few buildings in the vicinity.

Just as the series of spells connected with each other, the tendrils of bugs exploded too!

'Yeah,' Liam thought with a grimace as he twirled through the air like a yo-yo. 'He's definitely in the fifth Rank.'

There were several indications of Liam's assessment.

Abominations usually had one area of speciality. They could only really do one thing.

But not only could this thing talk like a human, it could also change the functionality of its attacks!

But still, Liam wasn't too worried.

An Abomination was just one center of power.

It was the equivalent of having a Rank 5 body, but a Rank 1 core and sea of consciousness.

Someone like that could easily be defeated by even a Rank 3 cultivator!

Liam wasn't underestimating it, but he wasn't overestimating it either.

Liam firmed his body and landed on the surface of a flea-shaped building.

BANG!

Then, he pushed himself off, ricocheting like a bullet back to the Tick.

Liam glanced at the four Zeniths, and they glanced back.

An understanding formed between them.

'Make me a path!'

SHHHHHHH!

Liam's Rank 2 spell, Chaotic World, crackled in his hand.

50% of his Chaos was used instantly.

Tendrils of the hive were about to wrap around him and crush his limbs, but the four Zeniths used their elements to create a tunnel for Liam to pass through.

As soon as he reached the Abomination, Liam kicked the sphere of Chaos towards it.

The Abomination's hard face twisted as the hive converged in front of it.

A protective wall of sorts against the—

BOOOOOM!

Explosion.
