Chrysalis

Chapter 1152

As it turns out, Al is not doing all that great. The amount of fire mana the eyeball can bring to bear is absurd, and the concentrated beams he produces would punch a hole in just about any monster I’ve ever seen.

But Somonax just doesn’t seem to care. Whatever the hell those wires on her back are, she can work up some serious momentum as she whips her thousand blades about. As far as I can see, those sword-like appendages have a few effects built into them.

For one, they can obviously cut through mana with ease, since she’s gleefully slicing everything Al sends her way. For two, whatever they and the wires are made from, it sure as heck isn’t a material native to the third. I refuse to believe something that advanced isn’t more expensive than what a demon is given naturally. Third, and I’m not sure how she does this, but she can clearly control them independently.

All thousand of them.

Luckily for me, they appear to only have a range of fifty metres or so, otherwise, she could probably be slicing up me and Al at the same time. If I were to hazard a guess, Somonax has a rather large chunk of brain matter hidden away in her demonic pocket dimension, similar to Invidia, but unlike Invidia, all that grey matter is devoted to whip and blade control.

It’s an incredibly straightforward strategy, one I’m sure she’s poured a ton of her evolutionary energy into. Many blade, blade cut good, more blade, more slashy.

It’s like if Tiny were obsessed with swords instead of fists and muscles.

Somonax probably has more going on under the hood than just this, but I don’t have the time for a more in depth examination, since Torrifex has spotted me again.

POW! POW! POW! POW!

Now that I’m in range and Pyrixan is still refusing to move, I oblige her by resuming my rapid fire bombardment of acid in her general direction. At this point, she’s surrounded by a disgusting, bubbling mass of acid and ash, like a particularly noxious swamp. The acid approach was my best approach by far, but I can tell that I’m losing the battle. The demon probably doesn’t feel the need to move since she feels all she has to do is sit and pump out ash until she eventually has enough that I can’t fight back.

As aggravating as it is, I don’t have the time to devote to slowing her down, since Torrifex is about to blast me with another fireball of doom.

Give me a break already!
