Chapter 662: A New Potential Member

Then a limited amount of End Energy broke the connections within the damaged sections.

CRAAAACK!

Several threads of the ninth poison broke apart at the same time.

The Nine-Venom Castellan raised its head, and for a moment, its glowing eyes remained fixed on Lian.

Then the creature let out a loud roar, so deep that even the stones and the entire ground around it began to shake.

The young Vorhelm gave a faint smile.

"What’s wrong? Did I take your food away?"

The monster raised both hands with clear anger, and the nine poisonous rings appeared behind it again, but this time, all of them moved toward Lian at the same time.

The young Vorhelm narrowed his eyes.

’So you finally got angry.’

He opened his black wings.

But before he could move, several remaining Withered approached him from the south.

However, he did not even turn his head toward them and simply slammed his fist into the ground.

BOOOOM!

A crack spread directly along the attackers’ path, and several Withered lost their balance.

Then mana pressure was released from beneath their feet and threw their bodies into the air.

But Lian was not finished yet.

Mana gathered in front of his hand, and a group of hard ice spears formed, then with a movement of his hand, dozens of spears were thrown toward the attackers.

SLASH!

The spears passed through the bodies of several Withered and pinned them to the stone surface behind them.

Another group tried to escape the attack, but the Bloodborne Calamity Domain had already reduced their body’s coordination.

A few moments later, most of the remaining attackers had also fallen.

[You have killed a Level 46 Withered]

[You have killed a Level 39 Withered]

[You have killed a Level 43 Withered]

The EXP messages continued to appear.

But he no longer paid attention to them, because the nine poisonous streams had now reached a short distance from him.

He raised his right hand.

[Thunder Calamity]

Purple and blue lightning moved along his armor, and then Lian used the Wings of God to leave the ground, at the moment the poisonous streams reached his previous position, he flew down toward the Castellan at high speed.

The Unholy creature immediately raised its head, but it was already too late.

[Giant’s Momentum]

The armor’s huge weight gathered along his fall, and Lian’s right fist struck directly into the damaged part of the Castellan’s chest.

BOOOOOOM!

The creature’s four-meter-tall body was slammed into the ground, the stones beneath it were crushed, and several deep cracks spread around the point of impact.

But the young Vorhelm did not allow the Castellan to stand up, he pulled his right hand backward.

[Disaster Suppression Fist]

Mana gathered in several layers along his fist, and the strike hit the Castellan’s chest.

CRACK!

The remaining armor cracked.

BAAANG!

The structures beneath the armor were damaged.

BOOOOM!

A large part of the chest plates was destroyed, but this time, Lian was not satisfied with that and attacked again, not just once, but his fists struck the creature repeatedly, one after another.

BOOOOOOM!

The Castellan’s body sank into a deep crater.

Thick dust covered the battlefield, and for several seconds, even the nine poisonous rings in the sky became unstable.

But the creature was still alive, and that was exactly what Lian wanted.

’Good, you’re still holding on.’

He did not intend to kill the Castellan.

At least not now.

Because from the moment he saw its Unholy rank and nine different abilities, another possibility had entered his mind.

A new member for the colony.

But before that, he had to push the creature to the point where it could no longer fight, and the Nine-Venom Castellan still had no intention of surrendering, from within the dust, a deep roar was heard.

Then the poisonous streams began moving again.

This time, the Castellan was using the last of its stored life energy to repair parts of its damaged armor.

But the repair was not complete.

One of its arms was still broken, a large part of its chest was still exposed, and several blades of its crown were cracked.

Even so, the creature slowly climbed out of the crater, its height was still impressive, and its glowing eyes were still staring at Lian.

And even now, despite its serious injuries, it refused to lower its head.

The young Vorhelm looked at it for a moment and then gave a short smile.

"You’re stubborn."

The Castellan did not answer, but at that exact moment, the colorless stream of the ninth poison spread from around its body.

This time, instead of moving toward the corpses, it approached Lian directly.

The young Vorhelm immediately noticed the change.

’It wants to feed on me?’

Lian did not know whether this poison could extract life energy without killing its target, but he had no intention of letting the stream reach his body just to find out.

He raised his left hand.

[Glacial Reaper Claw]

The ice claw moved quickly toward the Castellan, the creature tried to move out of its path, but at that exact moment, gravity increased around its right foot.

[Core of the Fallen Star]

Its movement slowed, and the claw struck its damaged shoulder.

SLASH!

and one of the long blades behind its shoulder was cut off.

The Castellan roared, but Lian did not wait any longer, his wings pushed him forward.

BOOM!

In less than a moment, he appeared in front of the creature, and his right fist struck the Castellan’s stomach.

BAAANG!

Then his left elbow struck the side of its bone mask.

CRACK!

A deep crack spread from the side of the creature’s face to its chin, and the monster tried to move its healthy claw toward him.

But the young Vorhelm grabbed its wrist and then pulled it downward with huge force.

BAAANG!

The creature’s knees hit the stone, the ground cracked under its weight, and for a moment, the Castellan tried to stand up again.

But gravity increased around its body.

Lian took a step forward, the Glacial Reaper Claw was still active around his right hand, and he held the ice blades in front of the Castellan’s neck.

The sharp edges were only a few centimeters away from the creature’s skin.

The Castellan remained motionless for a moment, the nine poisonous streams were still moving around its body, but none of them attacked Lian anymore.

The young Vorhelm looked at the creature’s damaged face.

"Well."
