Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 909 Symbol Of Gluttony



Landing on top of the Black Calamity, the Versatile Weapon's Shadow Dragon firmly closes its large mouth to the neck of the Black Calamity.

The Black Calamity seems to have felt the danger that it immediately started thrashing around just to get rid of me. But I held my ground firmly into the Versatile Weapon and let the Versatile Weapon do its job.

While absorbing its stats to convert it as mine, the Versatile Weapon's passive started to activate as well, allowing me to perform a Lifesteal and slowly heal my HP. I lost a lot of my HP and only have 1 HP remaining after activating [Blood Weapon] but thanks to the Lifesteal, I can recover it slowly while still focusing all of my all on bringing the Black Calamity down.

The Black Calamity continues to thrash around, trying to shake me off. It's not easy to keep holding to the Versatile Weapon but I keep on gripping the hilt as tight as I can.

It didn't take too long for the Shadow Dragon to finish its absorption. It tried to chomp off a little bit more to the Black Calamity but this time around, the Black Calamity is successful at throwing us into the distance.

"Ah crap, I wanna eat this b*stard, but hell... he is one tough cookie! Wielder, do your thing. Soften up this guy then I will devour him!"

I didn't respond just yet. The pain in my body barely left and I am still trying to recover even though all of the stats in my body have risen up as a temporary boost. It is still pretty painful now that I used it on my body and underestimated the pressure it can deal in just doing that.

Rika and Zena immediately spring to action as I slowly recover my HP by drinking HP potions. Riko and Lucia also keep the Black Calamity busy as well by annoying it with range attacks. My skeletons are doing a good job of keeping the demonic dogs at bay and that is good enough.

With the temporary stat boost, I stood up and ready my weapon. "Time for round 2, you little sh*t..."

As soon as Rika and Zena saw me running towards the annoyed Black Calamity, the two also started running beside me. This is a tactic we developed when we were trying to deal with big monsters back in the Dark Sea and it works most of the time. Zena just recently learned it but based on how she is doing now, it seems she is adapting quite well.

Riko and Lucia also saw our actions and they also understood what we were about to do and decided to continue firing their strongest spells one after another. It is something that they have to do to keep the boss from attacking us so early. And since it is now totally annoyed, it keeps on stopping all of its attacks and has failed to see us rapidly approaching.

I looked at Zena and Rika and nodded to give the signal which the two immediately received. As the Black Calamity tried to swat off the fireball attacks that were hitting it, I immediately went to its front left paw which I noticed to be what the Black Calamity always uses.

The moment the Black Calamity put down its front paw to the ground, I immediately sliced it in rapid, consecutive cuts. They might not be that deep but they definitely made the Black Calamity roar in pain. Adding the stronger weapon form and the enhanced stats of mine, the attack was too effective for the boss to like.

While I was busy attacking its left paw, Rika went to its right paw which it doesn't use much, lessening the danger of her current task. She immediately stabbed its right paw before activating the sword's flame and electricity and then charging it straight into the Black Calamity through the stab. The Black Calamity didn't notice the attack that happened when it was stabbed but the moment the electricity and flames started to run wild, it immediately roared in pain and raised both of its paws up into the air to get rid of both of us at the same time. That's when Zena decided to move.

Using her momentum, she charged forward and then leaps towards the Black Calamity charging up her punch for a stronger punch. Just when the Black Calamity is about to go back down, that's when Zena transforms her entire arm that is about to punch into her beast form to add more power to her punch.

"GRAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Unleashing her inner beast, Zena punches the Black Calamity and sends it flying to the nearby wall. It's not really a successful attack, but it did send the monster packing and injured.

Seeing that it is now staggered, I didn't waste my time and rush forward. Now that the Black Calamity is staggered, I have to attack.

"Shadow Dragon, you want to eat this guy right? Then how about slowly nibbling through this guy and devouring it piece by piece while I am attacking? Not only will you get to eat this guy but it will also last long enough for you to keep on eating it."

The shadow dragon frowned but it didn't reject my idea. "Although I like to eat them whole, if this going to make this b*stard a lot softer and easier to swallow, then I will not complain in this method."

Knowing the Shadow Dragon would now assist me, I took advantage of the staggered boss and attacked it relentlessly on its abdomen. While I am doing that, every swing of the Versatile Weapon, the Shadow Dragon gives the Black Calamity a bite and devours a small portion of the boss slowly and opens big wounds from it.

The Black Calamity noticed this and tried to stop me from doing so but I swung my sword once more to the paws that I sliced before. It wasn't that injured but it is shown to have a few slice marks on it. If I tried my hardest, I could cut off its left paw entirely but since I am just doing my best way to keep the boss from using its paws properly, I couldn't easily deal with it. However, the Shadow Dragon has already decided to deal with that matter.

One of my swings landed on its paw and before I knew it, the left paw disappeared all of a sudden. It was so quick that the blood of the Black Calamity was also delayed after the disappearance of its paw. But when it did, blood spurted out of the Black Calamity, and the Shadow Dragon laughed like a maniac.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Damn, that was a good piece! Too bad I already swallowed it, but this is indeed a lot more fun than I thought."

I didn't stop my attack and stab its abdomen with the Versatile Weapon and the Shadow dragon bites into the flesh and cuts off a large portion of its flesh as a result. The Black Calamity is helpless as its body parts are slowly disappearing as the Shadow Dragon devours its body piece by piece. Seeing that it is now unable to stop the Shadow Dragon, the Black Calamity opened up its mouth and the demonic dogs that were attacking the skeletons I control are being absorbed by the Black Calamity, devouring them all without any restraints.

"Looks like it is trying to heal itself by using its authority to heal every time it devours. Wielder, don't let this b*stard do anything unfunny. Now that it is on its last legs, and you are on your final minute of a burst of power, take advantage of all of that. We will perform a big finale to put this guy to a stop.

I grip the hilt of the Versatile Weapon before I charge forward to the devouring Black Calamity. There is only one way to bring this monster down before it does its complete reversal and recovery. If it tries to become the embodiment of Gluttony, then we will devour it all.

"[DEVOUR]!"

The Shadow Dragon appeared and turned a lot bigger, big enough to contain all of the Black Calamity into its mouth, and before the Black Calamity could even react, a huge void of endless pit appeared before it, howling before it was fully devoured by the Shadow Dragon.

CHOMP!

The largemouth fell onto the ground as the figure of the Black Calamity disappeared and the Shadow Dragon slowly chewed its food before gulping it down in one go. The demonic dogs that are being swallowed also fall from the air and land on the ground. The skeletons tried to attack the monsters that fell but before they could do so, the demonic dogs fell and died before they turned into a mist of smoke and mixed into the air, disappearing like dust.

I sighed in relief and fell to the ground as everything came back to bite me. All of the fatigue that accumulated during the combat decided to rush into my body and now I am totally exhausted. The Shadow Dragon also went silent as well, which might be due to its newly devoured monster. My bet is that it is now in slumber once more as it tries to digest what it has eaten.

But now that it's over, I think its for me to take a good nap.
