Chapter 1099: Chapter 198: The Butcher and the White Meat Chapter 1099: Chapter 198: The Butcher and the White Meat The first contestant sent out by the Demon Team was this chubby white boy whose Human Form was somewhat adorably goofy.
But when Han Dong viewed him through the Demon Eye, he almost threw up everything in his stomach.
Beneath the round, white belly were layers of devouring mouthparts,
with various large and small worms crawling between gaps in teeth and flesh,
every tiny worm possessing a complete set of devouring apparatus,
assembled together in the fatty bodyâs digestive organs in a âstackedâ, âoverlappingâ manner.
Disgusting as it was, a close observation and analysis revealed that these digestive organs were extraordinarily âexquisiteâ and integrated in an optimized way to perform the most efficient digestion.
âCount, what is this?â
âIt appears to be a Giant Devouring Worm of a high tier⊠In my understanding, itâs rare for Giant Devouring Worms to reduce to such a size and still maintain such a perfect Human Form.
Even apart from its Special Traits, being accepted by two Element Bodies is already quite extraordinary.â
Curious, Han Dong asked, âShrink? Is its True State very large?â
âA Newborn Worm can reach the size of your human ordinary skyscrapers, and with every tier of growth, its size can increase ten to fifty times.
Rumor has it that Mythic Body worms are forcibly exiled from their home planets because their size directly exceeds the endurance limits of a standard life-supporting planet, and they are only allowed to inhabit certain large planets.â
âHuh? Arenât some of the Old Kingâs True States even bigger?â
âBeing large is indeed a display of power, but itâs only a part of it⊠Some Old Kingâs True States are only a little bigger than you humans.
Of course, this worm is truly powerful, especially in the aspect of âDevouringâ.
This match should be very interesting.â
Han Dong stroked his chin, âSpecial as it is, winning is still going to be tough⊠The last Craftsman team definitely has some trump cards.
If the Craftsman squad were to be completely wiped out during the combat matches, the pride of their Holy Level World would be utterly compromised.
Having witnessed Eugenesâ terrifying power, the Golden Saint would surely resort to some âcheating-likeâ methods to save face⊠Putting the wormy boy in the first match is the right choice, we should be able to discern some clues.â
Han Dong cast his gaze towards the last remaining Craftsman team.
The team consisted of two men and one woman, their characteristics very pronounced due to their Craftsman titles, making them easy to distinguish.
The womanâs body was wrapped in Five-colored Silk, some of which floated freely around her, suggesting she was a Dyer Craftsman.
Perhaps because of her love for beauty, although the head was not particularly important for Craftsmen, this woman still sculpted a perfect head, applying a geisha-like pale makeup that looked quite chilling.
The other two men.
One was full of flabby, thick flesh with arms, about the thickness of an ordinary personâs, from which hung various styles of Butcher Knives, embedded into the flesh through curved hooks.
His head was a mass of randomly piled butcherâs offcuts, secured with iron rings,
with multiple eyes and ears embedded among the rotten flesh, perfectly executing both vision and hearing.
Overall, he looked every part the [Butcher].
The other man appeared more secretive, resembling a snail.
Always carrying a stone house on his back, about ten square meters in size⊠when moving, two sturdy legs would extend from the bottom of the stone house, while his upper body always stayed inside the house.
Currently, he was completely retracted into the stone house, resting, seemingly not the first to enter the ring.
âThe third round of the combat matches begins
[Frontline] White Rimu versus the Butcher, Menlu (Meâlu).â
When the plump, white Rimu walked onto the stone stage,
the figure that approached from the opposite side was a similarly built Butcher, though relative to Rimuâs obesity, the Butcherâs was a higher grade of corpulence.
Even below the stage, this Butcher named [Menlu (Meâlu)] had already taken a liking to Rimu as âprime materialâ; his Butcherâs intuition could sense that Rimu had the most âmeatâ, which would give him complete satisfaction.
âYour flesh⊠looks plentiful?â
Menlu, caught up in the excitation of the dialect from the Holy Level World.
Immediately, a mass of rotten flesh proliferated from his back, and under a special energy construct, formed an extra arm of a different skin color⊠he now had a total of six arms.
Any living creature slaughtered by Menlu would have its flesh stored inside him to some extent, which he could then use, along with his âCraftsman Spiritâ, to construct any tissue and exercise corresponding powers.
As the six arms formed, each gripped a different meat-chopping tool.
Stepping with heavy yet incredibly swift strides, he went on the offensive towards the plump White Rimu.
A strange scene unfolded.
Bursting with intense Evil Qi as Menlu was about to execute the Rimu, a flicker of dread passed through his eyes, and he suddenly stomped his foot into the ground hard, using such an action to forcibly break his own forward rush.
The current gap was two meters, and Menluâs back was already oozing some sweat.
There were two reasons.
First, was Menluâs professional sense. Just for a moment, he smelled an agitation from the flesh, as if he were about to be devoured by it.
Second, the domain.
Under the influence of the White Rimuâs domain, the surrounding ground too was covered with a layer of soft white flesh, severely hindering his movements.
Moreover, in the clash of domains, Menluâs [Butcher Knife Domain] was unexpectedly unable to restrain the Rimuâs [White Meat Domain]⊠Normally, a multitude of butcher knives should have sprung from the ground, but now they were firmly suppressed beneath the dense white flesh.
âIndeed very powerful⊠Those who come here must all be Demonic Elites of the same tier, right?
Luckily, we were in the later group, and received the âGolden Liquidâ from the Sanctifier. Otherwise, I would have indeed lost⊠Your white meat will definitely fetch a good price.â
Menluâs thoughts shifted.
Pure, flawless streams of Golden Liquid flowed from his heart, quietly traveling along his blood vessels towards one of his arms.
This internal energy activity, paired with the obfuscation of the coarse flesh and butcher knife, was not visible to outsiders.
The slightly paused Menlu then displayed a fierce aspect again, stepping forward to come right in front of the White Rimu.
He also entered the attack range of the White Rimu.
The seemingly plump Rimu immediately showed the nature of a Demon, collapsing in form.
Worm-like hyperplastic tissues grew from various areas of its body,
the abdominal cavity turned into a nine-layered, circular huge mouth,
instantly transforming from a 1.7-meter-tall chubby kid into a several-meter-tall devouring monster, revealing a bit of its True State prototype.
Once inside Rimuâs attack range, even an Element Body would find it quite troublesome.
This type of Giant Devouring Worm is a typical close-range, high-attack Demon⊠the Devouring damage was very high, accompanied by a Demon Mystery that could disintegrate all flesh.
Enveloped by the worm tissue and devouring energy, Menlu was quickly stripped of a large amount of his flesh.
Chunks of his bellyâs coarse flesh were ripped off, exposing stark white bone⊠of the six arms holding butcher knives, five vanished into thin air.
ButâŠ
One arm remained unscathed and even managed to shatter the wormâs teeth in reverse.
âOw! That really hurts!â
Under the influence of the âGolden Liquidâ, this arm became indestructible.
Moreover, the power it exerted was several times its original, and it also possessed a âSubduing Demonâ special effect, slashing down with a single blow.
Whoosh!
Along the way, the proliferating worms were uniformly severed.
The body of White Rimu, like the flesh usually cut by the butcher, was cleaved in twoâŠ
