Chapter 490 - Lightning And Thunder Horror



'Hivemind?'

Noticing the Overseer's species which appeared before me for the first time, my interest was slightly aroused. However, while 'hivemind' hinted towards great abilities, 'Quick Thinking' and 'Calm Thinking' were the only skills shown by the 'Eye of Knowledge'.

'Perhaps they have more 'natural' abilities…?'

Just like my basic ability to hear, see or move my body wasn't listed as a skill, it made total sense for the 'hivemind' species to have more abilities that didn't count as skills. The most basic ability that came to mind was 'information sharing'.

'His silence was comforting, but he seems more troublesome than he appears to be…'

If it wasn't just a random species name, then it was possible that everything that occurred in this throne room was already known by other 'minds' in the 'hive'. This ability also perfectly suited the position of an Overseer, relying on intelligence and communication to guide his 'army'.

'Well, it's not like I have much to hide at this point.'

After the direct 'Corruption' attempt that took place not too long ago, I was already on the demons' radar. Besides, this whole battle was 'played' in 'invisible' mode, the only part of me that appeared was my 'Dragon Helmet'.

At the very most, other demons would know that this base had fallen, and that was an inevitable outcome anyhow.

'It's not like I plan to show everything, but at this point, I can come out more aggressively.'

As annoying as getting found out was, there was definitely a satisfying liberation to it!

'Shall we get ready?'

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap…

I could already hear the footsteps being at the door of the castle. However, I had no intention to leave, rather, I pushed away the Overseer's body, giving it a quick clean using Water Elements before sitting down myself.

Instead of facing an army like this out in the open, I was more comfortable using the relatively narrow space of the castle to cut down their numbers instead.

"In the throne room!"

As I heard the shout ringing from the corridor, my elements were circulating in a pair of channels that I carved in the Corruption Space!

While the situation might seem dire to some, I didn't plan to let go of another chance to explore the uses of my abilities to enhance my future plans!

"Here…?"

The demon army directly swarmed into the throne room like a flood, but the first demon to look in the direction of the throne had his jaw wide open…

'All the more to 'Invisibility' fun!'

In that demon's eyes, the throne room was simply empty of living beings. All he could see were the four corpses that I had yet to retrieve, leaving him absolutely flabbergasted!

"What happened here?"

"Where is the intruder?"

"How…"

As the demons dumbfoundedly turned to each other, asking a stream of endless questions, their collective voices soon blended into an annoying buzz. However…

Rumble! 

Their sound was suddenly overshadowed by an even louder sound, blood could be even seen dropping from some of the demons' ears!

In reality, this was nothing but the sound of my 'Thunder Dragon' coming to be! Moreover, 'he' didn't appear alone!

Swoosh!

[ You have absorbed… ]

[ You have absorbed… ]

[ You have absorbed… ]

The eye-blinding 'Lightning Dragon' simply did a claw swipe along the disorderly lines of demons, but the outcome was no less than a char line made out of demon corpses, resulting in a stream of endless notifications!

'Let's see if it works…'

The demons that were taken by surprise were rooted in their positions, questions seemingly piling up in their muscle brains as they bore witness to my newest experiment…

As the 'dragons' hovered in the air, the electricity that was spewing out of the Lightning Dragon's body connected into the illusory body of the Thunder Dragon, at this point, I had yet to even start my experiment!

'As expected!'

I originally planned to intentionally make the two dragons act connectedly to see if it was possible to achieve some form of synergy, but it seemed that the close relationship between Lightning and Thunder was beyond that!

Just like the lightning 'snakes' connected into the Thunder Dragon, the sound waves that were barely visible to me made contact with the bright Lightning Dragon. Without any prior notice, both actions simply intensified!

Rumble! 

The ear-bleed inducing sound only grew harsher as the pair of 'dragons' grew closer through magnet-like attraction, in mere seconds, both were already occupying the same 'space'!

"Is this… the enemy?"

A smile slowly climbed into my face as I witnessed the fearful expressions that decorated the throne room, this experiment was undoubtedly a great success!

At this moment, there was only one 'dragon' left. However, it looked far more majestic than the ones that 'disappeared', just its overwhelming presence seemed to suffocate the demons before…

Roaaaaar!

One last loud rumble announced the start of the massacre!

[ You have absorbed… ]

[ You have absorbed… ]

[ You have absorbed… ]

"D-don't falter! We have the advantage in numbers!"

Even in the middle of the slaughter, some 'Demon Commander (Mid-Tier)' straightened his back as he tried to lead the disorderly army, but…

"We just need to overwhelm-"

[ You have absorbed… ]

His attempt meant nothing more than an early death! 

Naturally, since I couldn't maintain this 'dragon' forever just by relying on my Elemental Pool, I had every intention to make this battle as quick and easy as possible. Such resistance only served as my tool to strike more fear into the unknowing demons!

"Aaaaah!"

"Ugh…"

"..."

Before a few minutes had passed, the screams of the demons had gone beyond the throne room, the demons in the backline were thrown into deep confusion as they pushed ahead, seemingly seeking some understanding, only to be met with the grim fate that their 'colleagues' had experienced a few seconds ago…

After the annihilation of half of the army, the rest finally noticed that something was wrong as they rushed to get out of the castle, running without any apparent destination.

Just in time, the 'Thunder-Lightning Dragon' slowly dissipated after eating away a huge chunk of my elemental reserve, as the first stage of the battle played out as perfectly as possible, it was time to move to the last step…

'Should I get some more physical training as well?'
