Chapter 4225 Evolution VS Change
As the air cannon exploded forward due to the surge of spiritual energy, lightning ripples slammed forward like a giant hammer. Tiny sparks danced in every raindrop in front of Shad, and the ripples formed by the raindrops even vividly depicted the power of this palm strike.
Lei Mingbo collided with the charging monster, followed by another loud bang as the double-barreled shotgun fired, this time spewing out two balls of crimson flames from the muzzle.
The monster, paralyzed by the lightning in mid-air, was immediately engulfed by two balls of fire. But amidst the deafening roar, the bluish-gray monster, its skin only slightly charred, broke through the fireballs and continued to crash into Shad.
"go with!"
The Soul Chains pierced the monster's body once more, slowing its movements. The time Lady Handel had bought was enough for Shad to complete the final charging of his magic—
"Remnants of chaos!"
The massive, dark red fireball was held and compressed in the palm of the hand, then thrown and struck the bluish-gray monster. The resulting heatwave from the explosion even caused the surrounding land to dry out completely for a brief period.
Moreover, the soil in the area hit by the magic was transformed into molten lava, and this time the monster was unable to completely withstand the flames.
With a "croak," it dragged its body, half of which had been blown apart on the left side, and tried to escape to the left, but the cursed soul wrapped in a black robe suddenly emerged from the ground.
Joey Barton reached into the monster's chest and pulled out a small, writhing black mass. Shad instinctively knew it was human flesh. The monster's appearance remained unchanged, but it seemed even weaker.
"Croak~"
It cried out again, and then its entire body turned into a puddle of rainwater that merged into the wet ground.
"Be careful, it has not yet been banished; this is its special form. Once it enters this form, it will no longer be able to push its characteristics to stage three."
Mr. Finch reminded them, and the three of them, along with a spirit, looked around warily.
Soon, Xia De's keen dynamic vision noticed that the surrounding rainwater was abnormal. The normally normal raindrops had grown "little tails" one by one. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly turning into tadpole shapes.
The raindrops, densely packed, landed with the wind and surged freely along the slippery ground. Each one was only the size of a fingertip. After landing, they changed from completely transparent to a translucent grayish-blue color. Their tail fins were covered with fine, shimmering mucus, leaving fleeting wet trails on the ground as they moved.
Flames, thunder, and the aura of death attacked the surrounding rain, but they could not completely wipe out the dense, strange tadpoles.
They all converged towards Xia De and his companions, then stopped about three feet away from them. They densely covered the ground, clung to the walls of the construction site, and even floated in mid-air, weaving a murky, writhing curtain of rain.
However, compared to what I saw at the [Leather Goods Hall], this scene was only slightly strange.
The rain tadpoles allowed the ring sorcerer's attacks to destroy their companions. As the rain continued to flow, so did the rain. Unable to interfere with the heavy rain caused by the appearance of the relic, they could not be completely eliminated.
The rain tadpoles then began to change. The outermost tadpoles' tail fins gradually contracted and hardened, their originally translucent bodies became thicker, and dark green veins showed through their grayish-blue skin. Tiny limbs protruded from the sides of their bodies, and faint traces of webbing were visible between their toes. When their newly formed tiny claws scratched the ground, they made a harsh scraping sound. Their originally eyeless heads gradually developed two cloudy little dots, like the rudiments of frog eyes.
"Thunder Wave!"
Each strike of the wide-ranging electric light could wipe out thousands of "rain" droplets, but the number of tiny monsters that kept appearing was still astonishing; they were evolving and devouring.
The slightly larger tadpole suddenly pounces on its companion that has not yet fully evolved, swallowing it whole. Its own size swells up a bit, and the raised granules on its skin become more prominent.
As the group attacked and the tiny monsters devoured each other, most of the originally dense rain tadpoles disappeared. Those that remained, covering the ground, had grown into small frogs the size of a thumb, their strange "croaking" sounds echoing all around.
Then, these translucent things began to converge in the same direction until they turned into a dark green paste, which took on a human-shaped outline and eventually transformed back into the frog-like monster from before.
It returned its severely injured body to the rainwater, and in the rain, it began its evolutionary process anew from a tadpole. When it reappeared, its strength was not as great as before, but at least all its injuries had been healed.
"Gugua~"
The water curtain blocked the flames and lightning, and the gunshots failed to shatter the water barrier. The raindrops falling on it still resembled tadpoles, which it quickly absorbed, making it grow stronger and stronger.
Even without Mr. Finch's explanation, Shad could see the other party's current situation. It abandoned the power to influence the surrounding area and instead concentrated all its power on itself, thus gaining the ability to absorb abnormal rainwater.
Because of the change in characteristics, the rain at this moment has become turbid and has started to smell rotten. It is the stench of amphibian mucus mixed with the dampness of the rain.
The monster quickly lay down again, bracing itself on its arms and arching its back. With another low "gurgling" sound coming from its mouth, the monster leaped up as if it could smash mountains into pieces.
Shad knew he couldn't delay any longer; this thing would absorb more rainwater and become stronger over time, and now was the best opportunity to deal with it.
"I'll do it!"
As he spoke, he charged headlong into the giant frog monster that had leaped up. As he ran, his body was enveloped in silver moonlight. Then, to the astonishment of Mr. Finch and Ms. Handel, the moonlight dissipated, and the unicorn appeared.
The pure white unicorn, transformed into a streak of light, collided with the gray-green figure in the rain, creating a loud bang that accompanied a visible shockwave that spread outwards from the rain curtain.
The pure white unicorn nearly cleaved the gray-blue shadow in two, but when the unicorn turned around to look back, the heavily injured monster's body liquefied again. Then, the frog's body lay flat on the ground, as if it had degenerated and lost its forelimbs. Its body shape also changed to something like a half-tadpole. It quickly swam towards the silver unicorn along the rainwater on the ground.
Unicorns are indeed not easy to attack targets close to the ground, so the silver moonlight enveloped him again. As the moonlight clinging to the ground dissipated, the slender silver snake was rapidly growing larger with its "Body of Courage".
Then, the silver serpent became entangled with the liquefied half-frog, half-tadpole monster in the puddles on the ground. The serpent itself had a biological instinct to restrain the frog, and as the two were entangled, the silver flames spewed by the silver serpent continuously melted away the monster's greenish-blue figure.
So it liquefied its entire body again, and at the same time, the "degeneration" proceeded again. Every drop of liquid that the relic had turned into became liquid tadpoles, which swarmed towards the silver snake.
Suddenly, the silver snake's body glowed, then exploded into a swarm of red butterflies dancing in the rain. The rain did not affect the red butterflies; those with faint silver edges on their wings fluttered in the rain like clusters of sparks.
Red specks of light danced and flowed in the rain, then tadpole-shaped water droplets silently collided with the fiery red butterflies.
The foul-smelling mist immediately spread outwards, but large swarms of fiery red butterflies could still be seen fluttering within it. Although the number of water droplets far exceeded the number of red butterflies, the fighting power of a single red butterfly far surpassed that of a single water droplet.
Not to mention that this red butterfly form comes from the angel-level relics Grace and Helen, who are inherently far stronger than the sage-level relic [Rain Man].
Large swathes of tadpole-shaped water droplets evaporated and dissipated, causing the rainwater in the air to quickly gather, like a funnel, collecting all the precipitation from the surrounding area into the ever-rising mist.
Seeing that even the change in state couldn't defeat Shad, the tadpoles gathered together and transformed back into frogs, only the grayish-green water clumps grew larger and larger. Until the greenish-green frog figures reached a height of ten meters, then the giant opened its mouth, and its grayish-green tongue, bearing traces of rigor mortis, shot out, as if to hook all the red butterflies flying low into its mouth.
But it didn't have that opportunity.
The tongue collided with the ever-growing silver orb of light. As the moonlight faded, the dragon's claws gripped the tongue, and then the silver moonfire spewed by the moonlight dragon struck the monster's body directly.
Shad rarely appears in his ten-meter-tall Moon Dragon form; he usually reaches a height of at least fifty meters. However, the reduction in size does not affect the power of his dragon breath.
This time, Shad mixed a small amount of the Crimson Moon's power into the Moonfire, and the red moonlight seemed to prevent the monster from transforming again. The enormous monster's body shrank and melted continuously in the dragon's breath until it reappeared in the rain as the true form of the human mummy.
"I want a coffin!"
Having regained his human form, Shad spoke telepathically to his companions. Joey Barton, a black-robed, spirit-like figure closest to Shad, raised his right hand, and an ancient gray stone coffin emerged directly from the damp earth.
Shad forcibly pressed the mummified corpse, still scorched by the moonlight, into the coffin—
"Thumbs of magic: Coffin of the Underworld!"
A black skull appeared out of thin air, displaying the holy emblem of the [God of the Grave] on the ground, and then embraced the coffin from above, completely sealing it. As the seal ended, the previously violently fluctuating whispering elements slowly returned to normal, and the rain no longer carried that foul odor.
