Chapter 284: The Hybrid Awaken [2]
BOOM! BOOM!
The vast chamber was filled with light, shadow, and blood as their magical combination clashed with the pool. A terrifying roar filled the air as the water churned violently and splashed in all directions.
"No matter what, don't let the water touch you!" Aina warned, her voice echoing through the chaos.
From the vantage point, Nox noticed the pool's surface rippling and steam rising whenever an attack struck the water. Even the outline moving inside was beginning to become more restless.
Dozens of blood blasts shot out from the runic bloody pattern hovering in front of Nox, and Shadow Oblivion also left his fingertips at quick intervals. The combination was devastating, and it could be said that his attacks didn't pale in comparison to Eve and Aina's.
Gradually, the pool was being destroyed, and the others could now see the outline of the creature as the water began to drain away, revealing a monstrous being in the depths.
It was a colossal being over twenty meters tall. It was a strange fusion of serpent-like scales and massive, muscular limbs, with fangs that gleamed dangerously in the dark chamber. Its eyes were terrifyingly white. The beast raised its head slightly, and a pair of glowing white eyes pierced the haze, locking onto them with an intelligence that sent chills down the spines of the people who had disturbed its rest.
Shaking the fear away, Nox didn't hesitate to use Analyze on the beast, and its information cascaded down.
[Abyssal Leviathan - Abysee - Lv2 Legendary Tier (60% Dormant)]
Elemental Type: Water
Progress: 40%/100%
Energy: 50%/100%
Descriptive: [The Abyssal Leviathan is a monstrous hybrid created from the fusion of a Magical Beast and a Water Elemental Beast. It's an abomination that shouldn't have existed, but because of the interference of the greatest alchemists from the Elven and Dwarven Empires, it was brought into being. Though its power is currently dormant, this abomination shouldn't be taken lightly. Its presence heralds destruction, especially when submerged underneath water!]
Skills: [Void Roar, Tidal Wraith, Eternal Abyss Armor, Soul Rend, Adaptive Barrier, Ethereal Crash]
[Note: All skills are currently halved by 50%]
"Two emperor-tier magical and elemental beasts fused together." When Nox saw the description of the hybrid, he was stunned!
Even the Yeti back in Snowhelm was just king-tier, and it had been very difficult to deal with. They had to fight for days before eventually taking it down, and yet this was not only a hybrid, it was in the legendary tier, just two ranks away from the mythic sovereign rank.
Aina and Eve also felt the terrifying poisonous aura from the beast. It was just lying there, but the profound aura was capable of crushing the mind of a weak-willed Awakened like paper.
"The only good thing about this is that the beast still seems to be 60% dormant and 40% awakened," Nox told the others, and they didn't doubt him for a bit, knowing that he possessed an ability that could allow him to see everything about a beast.
"If it gets to 100%... this beast would be on par with a legendary-tier beast."
"Do you see any weaknesses?" Eve asked.
Nox activated Beast Sense instantly. He glanced through his retina and informed Eve quickly without a breather: "It's very slow, powerful in water, and it's vulnerable to light-based attacks. But that doesn't mean other attacks would be ineffective against it. Similar to the Yeti, a concentrated attack to its chest could also weaken it."
"Then we attack from all sides," Eve said. "We'll take advantage of its slow speed and dormant state."
Just as they were planning their moves, the Abyssal Leviathan reared its head, anger blazing within its eyes.
Then...
ROOOAR!
Its jaws widened, and it unleashed a thunderous roar!
It was its Void Roar!
The air distorted, and immediately after that roar was unleashed, the sound wave carried powerful force and slammed into the walls of the vast chamber, causing stone pillars erected at the side to crumple.
Rumble! Rumble!
The entire cavern began to tremble.
Nox dived to the side in time as a column crumbled where he had been just seconds ago. As he regained his balance, he fired off barrages of Shadow Oblivion and blood projectiles.
BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Just now, if its Void Roar hadn't been halved because of its dormant state, it could have easily obliterated this mountain, bringing it to ruins." A droplet of sweat glistened on Nox's forehead.
Nox wasn't the only one bombarding the abominable beast with attacks.
Eve also retaliated by firing a barrage of dark fireballs, each one colliding with the Leviathan's scales in bursts of heat and light. But her attacks barely left scorch marks on its armored body.
Seeing this, Eve waved her hand, and a Shadow Portal appeared on the ground. A moment later, under the stunned gazes of a certain observer, a swirling dark portal materialized on the ground.

'Back in the Armstrong Duchy, I wasn't able to use this... but with only Nox and Aina here... I'll no longer hold back,' Eve swore in her heart, her beautiful ruby eyes glowing with an unnatural light. Then she started to chant.
As she chanted, the swirling portal seemed to grow larger, the aura of death filling the chambers. Just moments later, a skeletal hand appeared, grabbing onto the edge of the portal.
"Arise, Harbinger of Dread!" Eve commanded, her voice echoing through the chambers.
Using it as leverage, the skeleton pulled itself out, revealing its skeletal frame reinforced with dark iron plating, and its eyes burned with cold blue fire. Clutched in its bony hands was a massive scythe that seemed to consume the light around it.
Nox stared at the undead with fascination in his eyes. After spending some time in Eve's not-so-comfortable manor, Nox had grown familiar with the undead there. As strange as it sounded, he had even bonded with them quite a bit.
Especially a certain skeleton butler whom he didn't get along with too well. However... this was the first time he was seeing this particular undead. From the terrifying aura that emitted from its body, Nox could feel this undead was bred for battle! It was bred to slaughter.
A cold smirk appeared on Eve's face as she regarded the towering skeleton that stood over 2 meters in height with a prideful look and sneered, "This abomination thinks itself invincible? Harbinger, strike its soul!"
Meanwhile, in the deep parts of the chambers, a figure was silently observing the fight.
"I always knew something was wrong with her," the figure muttered, a slight surprise finding its way into his voice. "So she's a necromancer."
