Chapter 2057: Black Tears
In Su Xiao's judgment, the Gluttony Monarch was definitely not Kuska's opponent. Although the Gluttony Monarch devoured many Diba Tribe warriors and its aura became stronger, even so, the gap between the two could not be bridged.
The Gluttony Monarch gave people the feeling of being cruel and twisted, while Kuska was simply powerful.
Kuska didn't have a tall body, nor did he have an oppressive force that made people breathless, but he just stood there, giving people a feeling of being invincible.
Strength and defense didn't need to be mentioned. In terms of techniques, Bare-handed Combat Grandmaster lv. 35 was not for show, and he had super strong recovery ability. After activating the ultimate skill "Twin Coexistence," he recovered 10% health per second, with the effect lasting 30 seconds, during which he couldn't be knocked back.
As for mid-range combat, the power of Death Roar was extremely terrifying. This was a double roar. When Kuska's main body roared, it carried physical damage (780 points), and the roar of the Dibamu sub-body inside his body carried 590 points of real virus damage per second.
Even with Su Xiao's body resistance, he would receive nearly a thousand points of damage per second. If Kuska roared for the full 12 seconds, the damage intensity would exceed ten thousand.
What was even more troublesome was that both Kuska's and the Dibamu sub-body's roars carried control effects, totaling six types. Bearing any one of them would make one unable to move.
This was the ability Su Xiao already knew. Kuska had seven abilities that were still in an unknown state. Heaven knows if there were even stronger abilities among them.
Su Xiao hid at the corner of the entrance corridor. Kuska and the Gluttony Monarch were located in the "outer greenhouse." Only by passing through the stone door on the inner side could one enter the location of the transcendent plant · Dibamu. And before that, Kuska needed to be solved first.
Sunlight shone diagonally from the holes in the cave ceiling. Kuska and the Gluttony Monarch stared at each other. Perhaps it was because of clouds drifting in the sky, the sunlight inside the greenhouse gradually darkened.
Boom!
Gravel flew under the Gluttony Monarch's feet, and a black afterimage flashed past. It rushed directly in front of Kuska.
Hum~
Gray dust particles expanded with the Gluttony Monarch as the center, surging toward Kuska. These dust particles crackled as soon as they touched Kuska's body surface.
"Oh? This one is
Kuska tilted his head slightly, dodging the long tail thrust by the Gluttony Monarch. His right hand slowly clenched into a fist, with several plant roots clinging to his knuckles.
With a bang, an air explosion spread out. Kuska threw a punch; the speed wasn't fast, but the angle was extremely tricky. The Gluttony Monarch had no room to dodge and could only arch his arms to block his side.
Thud!
The undead cells throughout the Gluttony Monarch's body trembled, and the ground beneath his feet cracked extensively. His arms bent backward at an unnatural angle, completely unable to block Kuska's understated punch.
With a whoosh, the Gluttony Monarch broke through a wave of air and flew backward to the side, finally slamming into the stone wall. His entire body sank into it, leaving a hole, with splashes of black blood distributed around the hole.
"Why come here to die?"
Kuska shook the black blood off his hand. He stepped on the ground, and a pebble was shaken up. After it flew in front of him, he grasped it in his hand.
Hiss~
The surrounding sunlight began to converge into Kuska's hand. His thumb hooked the pebble, and his entire fist turned scorching red.
Bang!
Kuska flicked his thumb, and a line of fire shot out, blasting into the hole where the Gluttony Monarch was.
After a roar, a large amount of flame surged out from the hole, followed by a pungent, charred smell.
When the flames dissipated, the Gluttony Monarch walked out of the hole. At this time, there was a bowl-thick penetrating wound on his head, with sparks flickering around the wound.
"Isn't it bad to play dead inside? Mogro, this is fate. What we chose to bear in the past is not something we are qualified to carry. Two young lads, what stupid things they did. However... Veronica, she is really quite good. No wonder you were so obsessed with her before. Hehe, hahahahaha..."
Kuska was clearly in a somewhat manic and delirious state, but the name Veronica clearly triggered the Gluttony Monarch, Mogro.
"Roar!!"
The Gluttony Monarch roared, black liquid flowing from his eyes, which, combined with his current appearance, looked exceptionally insane.
"Sorry, I triggered you. Veronica was thinking of you before she died. Really sorry, I was careless, and she died. Don't you agree, Veronica?"
Kuska tilted his head slightly, and a plant broke out of his shoulder, eventually forming the shape of a head.
"Ah!"
A hoarse roar came from the Gluttony Monarch's mouth. He got down on all fours, and the muscles on his arms and legs bulged rapidly.
"So noisy. If you want to roar, do it like this."
Kuska took a deep breath. Seeing this scene from afar, Su Xiao grabbed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang by the back of his neck and turned to rush toward the small pond in the back.
In the clearing, Kuska leaned back slightly, not caring at all about the Gluttony Monarch pouncing on him.
"Roar!!"
Kuska and the head on his shoulder roared simultaneously, the sound waves mixed with black-purple air currents spreading to the surroundings.
The skin on the Gluttony Monarch's body shattered instantly, but he still charged forward with all his might, one clawed hand pushing against the air current to grab Kuska's head.
Rip~
The flesh and blood on the Gluttony Monarch's arm were rapidly stripped away, and the ground beneath his feet shattered, causing him to lose his footing and fly backward.
The sound waves in the air mixed with the black-purple air currents continued to spread, and cracks quickly appeared on the surrounding stone walls.
Seven seconds later, Kuska stopped roaring, and the head formed by plants on his shoulder withered.
The Gluttony Monarch lay in a pile of rubble, his skeletal fingers twitching once. The next moment, the Gluttony Monarch stood up.
Just as Kuska was preparing to finish off the Gluttony Monarch and return to his miserable, death-like slumber, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"Hmm?"
Kuska looked toward the entrance of the greenhouse and didn't see anything, but he did indeed feel a sense of crisis.
"Mogro, hold him for 20 seconds."
Su Xiao walked out from behind the corner of the entrance, holding his blade in his right hand and an activated Apollo in his left. After a preliminary weighing of pros and cons, he decided to strike. It was clearly impossible to sit back and reap the benefits; in a battle against the overlord-level creature Kuska, Mogro would be hung up and beaten.
Kuska's eyes narrowed. He tapped his head with his fist; the previous "warm-up exercise" had made his thinking much clearer.
Undead cells surged, and the red-eyed Gluttony Monarch, Mogro, stood up and charged at Su Xiao.
"Beaten stupid..."
Just as Su Xiao was about to throw the Apollo to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Mogro, who was charging straight at him, stopped abruptly. He seemed to have regained some sanity and turned to charge at Kuska instead.
Kuska didn't even look at Mogro, but kept his eyes on Su Xiao. The thing in the opponent's hand made him feel danger—very dangerous.
