"Well said." Guarba laughed heartily. "Therefore, I shall give you one more chance. Immediately abandon all your strength and submit to me. I'm not lacking in strength, but I lack an astute assistant like you!"
All of a sudden, Hecaosi's parasitic arm lifted up, and spat out venom towards Guarba with its malevolent mandibles. Although it didn't directly hit Guarba, the venom sizzled as it splattered onto the ground. In a flash, several large pits were corroded into the ground, and an unbearable stench permeated the air.
Guarba snorted and replied.
"What a pity, is this your foolish answer?"
At this moment, Hecaosi abruptly charged forward. He could already sense that Guarba was stalling for time. Now that he had recovered to his optimal state, he wasn't willing to delay any longer. Once he struck, he wouldn't show any mercy!
After nearing Gu Erjia, Hecaosi felt as though his blood vessels were boiling and boiling. 'Pa!' The beast hide covering his body had already been ripped apart by his bulging muscles. One could see the ghastly crisscrossing scars where the parasite's arm connected with his body! Massive amounts of blood vessels and arteries were sewn together like surgical threads, as the surging energy within his body was transferred to the parasitic parasitic arm!
The malevolent parasitic mandibles expanded to their limits, as the ring-shaped teeth within rapidly squirmed. Even Sheyan who was crouching far away felt as though a vortex was concealed within those mandibles. An inexhaustible suction force was emitted from those mandibles, as it drew in the surrounding air! If Sheyan were to stand in front of those mandibles, the price he would have to pay would be to be pulverized into minced meat!
Guarba cackled maniacally, as his right hand abruptly pressed forward towards Hecaosi's parasitic arm!
Sheyan could distinctly observe the illusion of Guarba's entire body swelling up. At the tip of his right hand, an exceedingly distinct air undulation could be felt; akin to the air undulation produced by a bonfire. Yet, it was much more ferocious, as though space itself was warping and trembling!
Violent explosions reverberated through the air. Under the intense shockwaves of air currents, Guarba's' Grand Lion Waistcoat 'fluttered violently, revealing his sturdy and robust physique. Instantly, Hecaosi's pupils contracted, as his heartbeat accelerated. One could distinctly observe that amidst Guarba's maniacal laughter, his massive and sturdy right shoulder rapidly swelled up. Under the concealment of that massive and ferocious lion's waistcoat, was actually concealing such a terrifying.... strength!
*****
It was an eye, a huge blood-red eye!
This gigantic eye was at least 70 cm in diameter, occupying the greater half of Guarba's right chest. The height of his shoulder blade was even close to his head! The eyeball was surrounded by thick blood-red blood vessels, forcefully connecting this strange organ to the torso. The skin at the junction of the eyeball and the torso seemed to have completely burst, and the thick blood-red fibers of the muscles were clearly visible.
The sclera of the giant eye was a pale gray, and it was densely covered with a large amount of blood vessels. The fist-sized crimson pupil was as deep as the boundless ocean, and the glaring sunlight seemed to be completely swallowed by it!
Under the watchful gaze of this sinister gigantic eye, Sheyan could distinctly sense rings of tangible ripples of spirit force rippling out from it. These ripples of spirit force were incomparably hot, as it diffused out from the pupil of the gigantic eye. Finally, it converged onto the golden scepter in Hecaosi's hand.
In just a few seconds, the Golden Scepter actually rotated 180 degrees on its own. Then, with lightning speed, it directly triggered the mechanism inside. Unable to react in time, Hecaosi could only forcefully endure it!
In this instant, Sheyan felt an exceedingly bizarre sensation. It was clearly the middle of the day, yet the entire sky seemed to have transformed into the darkest night in an instant. It was as though all light rays had been thoroughly absorbed by the golden scepter!!
Although this bizarre phenomenon only lasted for two seconds, when Sheyan regained his senses, Hecaosi had already bluntly slumped down. His entire body was charred black, with multiple severe burns covering his body. Smoke and charred fumes curled up into spirals as he collapsed. His body even stirred up charred ashes and dust. Such a sensation was simply like a piece of charred firewood that had just been pulled out from a stove!
Guarba sneered in disdain.
"The golden scepter that has been passed down for 1530 years by the Sun clan. Its history is even older than the most ancient charred wood. How can it be so easily snatched away by an outsider? Those who vainly attempt to affront the majesty of the Sun God, shall atone for their sins in the raging flames! "
Under the scorching sun, Guarba's body expanded as he grasped the golden scepter. Complementing that queer gigantic eye on his right shoulder, his tall and sturdy body actually added an indescribable bewitching charm to it. It was as though he wanted to suppress all forces, individuals, and even their wills into the deepest recesses of their souls!! Then, they would be incinerated into ashes by the scorching sun!
Facing such a horrifying freak, Sheyan very bluntly feigned death. He deeply sensed that this Guarba might very well be an existence of the same level as the final boss of the Licker! Asking him to slay this freak was no different from committing suicide.
All of a sudden, Hecaosi noiselessly sprung up from the ground. His expression was malevolent, as though he was staking everything on a single throw! His thick parasite left arm once again aimed at Guarba. Then, the parasite's swollen mandibles expanded to their limits!
Within the parasite's mandibles, rings of razor-sharp fangs could be clearly seen and densely packed with blood vessels. Yet strangely, not a single sound was emitted. Instead, a blood red glowing sphere was forming and expanding unceasingly.
In the instance that the glowing sphere soared towards Guarba at high speed, although Hecaosi's body was as lofty as before, one could distinctly sense his previous domineering aura. That blood red glowing sphere seemed to have sucked away all his vigor!
As for Hecaosi's parasite arm, it drooped limply and shriveled up. In fact, it appeared much smaller than an ordinary arm, as though it was a deflated balloon.
Witnessing Hecaosi's desperate strike, Guarba's expression instantly changed. He raised his golden scepter and roared, while the pupils of the gigantic eye on his shoulder contracted even more intensely. Then, he extended his right hand and pressed it against the blood-red glowing sphere.
Nevertheless, after a few seconds of deadlock, Guarba felt his body weakening to the point of being unable to resist. Instead, the pressure from the blood-red sphere remained as tyrannical and ferocious as before, as though the energy contained within was limitless!
Despite being at a disadvantage, Guarba didn't reveal any flustered countenance. Instead, he breathed in deeply, as the gigantic eye on his shoulder suddenly made a blinking motion! To most people, such a motion couldn't be any more ordinary. However, to Guarba's bewitching gigantic eye, an indescribably bizarre sensation was transmitted over! Furthermore, it was doubly horrifying.
The sunlight disappeared in an instant. Darkness dominated this area with its full power. Under such a scorching sun, one could feel that all the sunlight in the vicinity was rapidly sucked into the pupil of that gigantic eye. Obviously, after accumulating power like this, it was very likely to unleash an earth-shattering blow! A concentrated shot that would obliterate everything in its path!
Yet at this moment, a hoarse and gloomy voice abruptly boomed in.
"Guarba, you're as filthy as a hyena of the plains, as avaricious as a serpent of the forest, as disgusting as a sandworm of the beach, and as foolish as a turtle of the river."
"That year, you failed in your attempt to absorb the energy of the 'Stairway of the Sun'. When you were about to become a sacrifice to the gods, it was the almighty Ouroboros who utilized its omnipresent strength to rescue you from that dreadful nightmare; allowing you to possess the terrifying might of the 'Stairway of the Sun'. Yet now, you actually dare to utilize such strength to deal with a loyal follower of the Ouroboros, a descendant of the almighty Jemengard?"
Upon hearing that voice, Sheyan's heart shook violently. He couldn't help but glance over, only to discover a person had unknowingly appeared by the side of the Ouroboros statue on the fiery plaza.
Mbenga!!
Although Mbenga's external appearance hadn't changed, the blood red scar on his forehead had faded to the point it couldn't be seen. His entire demeanor had undergone a thorough transformation. At present, if any native of Port Qom were to arrive here, they definitely wouldn't be able to recognize the originally insane and honest Mbenga!
This signified one thing – the chieftain of the Ouroboros subtribe, the true successor of the Ouroboros subtribe, the successor of the almighty Silver bloodline, the Gundazan, had finally broken free from the shackles of Mbenga's vengeful spirit, and regained control over his own body.
Evidently, such a variable was beyond Guarba's expectations!
As the brains of the party, Sheyan was extremely clear on one point – no matter how meticulous a plan was, there would always be a massive flaw in the implementation process! Ultimately, human strength couldn't pry into fate. Evidently, the fact that the Gundazan awakened so abruptly and quickly, was completely out of Guarba's expectations. This was an absolute flaw in his plan!
Guarba didn't respond. In fact, he wasn't even listening to the Gundazan's words. Instead, he noticed that the Gundazan had unknowingly appeared by the side of the Ouroboros statue, and a monumental sense of crisis welled up in his heart. This sense of crisis was so intense that it could determine his life, death, survival, and death!!! (To be continued.)
