Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 18: The Battle Between the Strong (1)

No one understands better than him what the consequences of losing touch with the ontology entail. The divine power in his body will not be replenished, and he will use a little less. His abilities would also be greatly diminished, as all he had in his body was a small fragment of his soul.

If he was able to exert the same power as a god just now, then now that he has been cut off from the main body, he can only be regarded as an ordinary legendary-level existence, not even a demigod.

Because he didn't have enough strength in his body at all, it was just the ones he had just devoured.

Obviously, this is a trap, a trap aimed at the blood god Haka. And his main body, the blood god Haka, who had not yet completely broken free from the seal, was blinded by the various illusions before him and jumped headlong.

And he will pay dearly for it!

In the midst of the lightning, the Haka clone, who understood all this, finally suppressed the shadow power in his body, struggled to stand up, and made a defensive gesture towards the shadow giant wolf.

The gray power that had severed the connection between him and his body was completely obscured by him, so Fenrus the Devourer didn't notice anything unusual at all, and as for the voice, no one could hear it except for Haka's clone.

The Hakka clone who knew that he had fallen into the trap knew very well what the guy hiding in the shadows was thinking, and the other party was obviously the same as Finus the Devourer, wanting to obtain the divine power on his body and the soul fragments of the gods, especially the latter, as long as it was used properly, it could find the secret of igniting the divine fire and becoming a god, which was full of attraction for those who had been stagnant at the mortal level for many years.

Therefore, the Haka clone knew very well that the guy who was hiding in the dark was completely interested in the idea of taking advantage of the fisherman. He couldn't convince Fenrus the Devourer to give up his hostility to each other, so there was only one thing he could do, and that was to get the shadow wolf out as quickly as possible, and then deal with the one who could appear at any moment!

Fortunately, he didn't have much to worry about it. The gap between gods and mortals is something that those fools can't understand at all, even if he is just a doppelganger of a god, but with the divine power in his body, Haka's clone is also confident to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him.

Facing the shadow wolf, the Haka clone opened its mouth and let out a roar, then spewed a blood-red energy projectile at the opponent. He knew very well that his current body had already been manipulated by the other party, so he didn't dare to use the slightest shadow power in his body at all, and could only use the divine power of the blood god he possessed.

Fortunately, the sacrifices he devoured before also provided him with some blood power, and as a doppelganger of the blood god, he was also very good at using this evil power.

The blood-colored energy projectile exploded in mid-air after hitting a shadow energy projectile of the same size, and the blood with evil power splattered out in all directions, instantly turning the ground into a puddle of dark red mud. A few hapless trolls and shadow werewolves accidentally got contaminated with the blood, and in an instant, they were corroded into a pile of rotten flesh that emitted a strong rancid stench.

With the cover of the blood rain, the Haka clone rushed forward, although he could not use the shadow power in his body, but the powerful body of the shadow dragon could still be used to launch attacks, at this point, he was glad that he had this body, if those trolls were preparing the body of a wind snake, then he could only choose to distance himself now and use spells to bombard Fenrus the Devourer.

This is definitely a bad idea! The reason why Fenrus the Devourer is called the Devourer is because he can devour almost all the elemental power, and the corrosive properties possessed by the Shadow Power are almost exerted to the extreme in this shadow giant wolf, so he doesn't dare to spell spells with the other party at all, it is not an attack, it is completely delivering food to the other party!

Facing the Haka clone that pounced on him, a very obvious tyranny appeared in the eyes of Finus the Devourer. As one of the few most powerful creatures in the Shadow Plane, he was born with other creatures as his prey, and in his eyes, everything was divided into those who wanted to eat it or didn't want to eat it, not whether they could eat it or not. Not to mention that the shadow dragon in front of him was originally an unlucky egg who was devoured by him.

Raising a front paw, Fenrus the Devourer slammed into the haka's clone that pounced on him, the sharp wolf claws brought out four cold rays of light, as if the powerful force could cut through the entire space.

The bite of the Shadow Dragon and the claws of the Shadow Wolf intertwined, with the Haka clone nibbling a mouthful of wolf hair from Finrus, who left four deep wounds on the Haka's body.

Unfortunately, the body of Haka's clone was still not technically a living thing, so the four wounds had no effect on him at all, and of course, the wolf hair in his mouth was nothing to Finus.

Two successive failures didn't make the Haka clone lose his composure, and he opened his mouth for another blood-colored energy bomb, followed by a blood-colored breath, and a tail-flicking attack.

At such a close distance, it was almost impossible for Fenruth to avoid these attacks, so the shadow giant wolf simply stopped dodging, but swung another wolf claw towards the Haka clone regardless of it, and at the same time controlled the shadow power in the opponent's body to riot again. For Fenruth, who stands at the fixed point of the shadow plane, commanding these shadow forces is as simple as eating and drinking.

But he clearly underestimated Haka's doppelganger's ability. As a blood god Haka who has existed since ancient times, experienced countless battles, and finally succeeded in igniting the divine fire and becoming a god, even if it is just a clone, it also has the combat experience and skills it has accumulated over countless years.

The blood-colored energy projectile that looked the same as before immediately revealed the hideous minions inside after hitting Fenrus, ordinary blood energy may not be able to cause damage to Fenruth, a shadow giant wolf, but the effect of blood energy with divine power is completely different.

The evil divine power instantly corroded a large wound on Finus's left shoulder, and the blood-colored energy stained it, constantly melting the flesh inside, causing Finruth to let out a wail. But soon, a large amount of extremely rich, liquid-like shadow power poured out from Finruth's body, quickly annihilating those blood-colored energies, and then covering the surface of the wound with a layer of shadow armor.

Fenrus, who was hurt, was afraid that the blood-colored breath that followed would also carry divine power, so he chose to put away his claws and retreat, but his choice had already been guessed by the Haka clone, so the blood-colored breath turned into a blood-colored net halfway through, covering Fenrus in it.

In the face of this change, Rao was unable to escape from the shroud of the net in his eagerness, and was firmly bound to the ground. Then, the dragon's tail, blessed by divine power, struck hard at the wound just now, directly shattering the shadow armor and shattering Fenruth's entire left shoulder blade into a deformity.

Replaced by an ordinary giant wolf, under this kind of injury, there is no doubt that the entire left front leg will be crippled because of this, so that his combat effectiveness will be significantly reduced. But the Haka clone is facing a shadow wolf, and Finruth is fundamentally a shadow creature, and shadow creatures have no fixed form. The reason why he appeared in the posture of the giant wolf in front of him was entirely because Fenrus was active in the main plane and needed a body to restrain the shadow power in his body.

After all, the main plane is not a shadow plane, and if there is no physical body to bind it, the shadow power in his body will continue to escape, and then merge into the elemental cycle of the entire main plane.

But that doesn't mean the body will be a weakness for Finus, and if necessary, he can still regain his true form as a pure shadow creature.

Just like now!

The successful and effective counterattack of the Haka clone finally angered Finus, for this shadow wolf, there is nothing in this world that he cannot devour, whether it is those powerful creatures living in the shadow plane, or the so-called god clone in front of him! The Haka clone went back to consider the level of the soul to determine whether Fenrus could devour the soul fragments in his body, but for Finus, there was no need to be so troublesome at all, just swallow it!

As for whether it can be digested, that's something to consider after swallowing!

That's why he joined Nandus to fight the idea of the blood god Haka. As long as you can eat the clone of the blood god Haka and swallow the soul fragment, you only need to spend time slowly studying how to digest the soul fragment.

The important thing is to swallow it first, if you don't even have a chance to swallow it, let alone digest and absorb it!

In the face of Haka's clone who was unwilling to be captured, Fenruth, who had been hit hard, was finally completely angry! Powerful shadow power erupted from his body, forming patches of shadow flames on the surface of his body, and the appearance of the giant wolf revealed by Fenruth slowly blurred under the blessing of this shadow flame, and finally completely lost his body and returned to a pure shadow creature.

Pure shadow creatures have no fixed form, as they are technically a mass of shadow forces. The reason why Fenruth is called the Shadow Giant Wolf, in addition to the fact that he appears as a wolf most of the time, is mainly because of the cunning and cruelty of this shadow creature, which is exactly the same as a wolf. In addition, Fenruth sheltered the Shadow Werewolf clan all year round, and over time, the name of the Shadow Giant Wolf spread.

Fenruth, who had regained his shadow form, easily escaped from the blood-colored web, the shadow creatures were disembodied, so ordinary restraints had no effect at all.

The Haka clone also knew that the next moment would be the most critical moment, as it would be crucial for him to defeat the shadow creature, and even determine whether he would succeed in escaping the trap in the end. Therefore, he did not hesitate to burn the divine power in his body, temporarily restraining the shadow power in his body, so as not to make trouble for himself at a critical moment. The blood-colored energy also took the form of a flame on the surface of his body, no longer looking like a shadow dragon, but an elemental flame dragon composed of flames.

One purple and one red, the two figures scuffled and bit together like beasts, at this time, the so-called magic was meaningless to both sides, Fenruth's shadow form was almost immune to all magic damage, and the divine power flame on the surface of Haka's body was able to block all magic without divine power, in this case, the only thing that could decide the outcome was the most primitive and direct way.

You take a bite, I clap a claw. Fragments of Shadow were torn off Fenruth's body by the Haka clone, and he himself was equally uncomfortable, Finrus, who had no fixed form, fully embodied his cunning and cruel characteristics, as long as he didn't pay attention, the extremely condensed shadow power would suddenly drill out of a corner, stab into his body fiercely, and then wreak havoc in his body.

Haka's doppelganger sadly discovers that what he originally wanted to do quickly has now turned into the most brutal, bloodiest, and worst war of attrition. Hesitation lost the connection with the body, the divine power in his body was constantly consumed every minute and second with the burning of the divine power flame, and Fenrus was not comfortable, after all, this was the main plane, not the shadow plane, he could hardly get any replenishment from the surrounding environment, and could only rely on the shadow power he had condensed to continuously consume.

But in terms of the level of strength, these shadow powers are not comparable to divine powers after all, so such a war of attrition is obviously more disadvantageous for Finus.

Naturally, the Hakka clone also noticed this, and he very much hoped that the shadow creature in front of him would choose to retreat because of this, so that he could save as much divine power as possible to use against another enemy who was hiding. But for some reason, Fenruth the Devourer seemed to be completely unaware of this, and still desperately launched an attack on him.

Soon, the Haka clone understood the reason why the other party did this!

Because Nandus didn't know when he had joined the battle with Finruth, the wolf king of the shadow werewolf also reverted to the form of a shadow creature, seizing the opportunity created by Finrus to launch a constant attack on the body of the haka's clone under the divine flames.

Haka's clone looked around, it turned out that those Dark Pine Trolls had fallen into a desperate situation under the siege of the Shadow Werewolves, and the Troll High Priest had been slain by Nanduth, and the corpses that had reverted back to the form of trolls were thrown to the ground like rags, and were constantly trampled by those Shadow Werewolves.

As the trolls continue to die, more and more Shadow Werewolves are finally able to free up their hands to help their leader. One by one, these shadow werewolves reverted to their shadow form, like Nanduth, and then merged into Finus's body.

Fenruth, who was replenished in this way, became even more aggressive, which made the speed of the haka's avatar's divine power consumption increase again, leaving him very angry and speechless.

Despite this, the fierce battle still lasted for more than an hour, and the divine power flame on Haka's body was finally exhausted. Facing the almost bruised and dying Haka clone, Fenruth the Devourer let out a grieve of satisfaction.

Of course, in order to do all this, the Shadow Werewolves also paid an extremely heavy price, not only did all the elite Shadow Werewolves who participated in this operation almost lose everything, but even Nandus, the wolf king, also lost his strength again because he consumed too much strength, and fell back from the Legendary level to the Hero level.

But Fenrus the Devourer and Nandus, the Wolf King, don't care about this, for them, as long as they can successfully devour the clone of the Blood God Haka this time, and analyze the power of the Blood God Haka from the soul fragments, the Shadow Werewolf Clan will be able to firmly establish their heels in the main plane, and the race will have a chance to grow again!

Wrapped in the tumbling flames of shadow, Fenruth the Devourer pounced on the Haka's clone lying on the ground, and he couldn't wait to devour the "delicious" prey.
