I Can Devour Monsters' SSS Talents

Chapter 378: Battle With The Calamity IV

And now, by trying to cut the bond and expel it, he was trying to scare it enough that it would have no choice but to return to him.

He knew... he knew that for the Black Silence, which had not yet been able to return to its peak, this world was very important and it could not accept being expelled from it.

Because of that, it would surely be willing to abandon that human’s body and accept his body as its final vessel.

The plan to destroy the other worlds that he had made? He would either give up on it or find another way, but he could not just stand there and watch all his hopes and goals be destroyed.

A very old mark under the skin of Cindar’s chest lit up.

The light was black, but red lines flowed through its center, and when it activated, the bond began to be destroyed and unless it was stopped in the middle of the process, the bond would be destroyed and the Calamity would be expelled from the world.

The four undead slowed their movements for a moment.

The swordsman turned his head toward Cindar.

The root controller also stopped for a moment.

Even the mage lowered her hand for a moment.

The process of cutting the bond had begun.

Cindar smiled, not the satisfied smile from before but something more twisted, more possessive, he was going to take the Black Silence back, the grave of all his other plans... he could not allow the Calamity to leave him.

A black strand came out of his chest.

Then a second.

A third.

All of them stretched through the air, toward Lian.

Seris raised her sword again, her body was still shaking from the end of Swordheart Override but before she could attack—

Lian stopped and the evil smile on his face stayed still for a moment, then the purple light in his eyes trembled.

Seris frowned.

Black strands were pulled out from behind Lian’s body, toward the distance, toward Cindar.

His body resisted against something that was pulling out what was inside him, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Something appeared in his purple eyes that Seris had never seen from the Calamity until that moment, disbelief.

Cindar was holding his hand against his chest in the distance, black strands were stretched between them and a smile was on his dry face.

"You belong to me." he said in a quiet voice filled with possession and pressed his fingers against the mark on his chest.

[The process of cutting the Anchor and Calamity bond has begun.]

[After the process ends, the Calamity will be expelled from the world.]

[: 1%]

More blackness was pulled out of Lian’s body.

[Expulsion: 3%]

The purple light in his eyes trembled.

[Expulsion: 7%]

Seris only watched for several seconds, even the battle around her became blurred.

The Black Silence slowly turned his head, very slowly, his gaze moved away from that girl and fixed on Cindar.

And for the first time since he had been born again, the Calamity truly looked at his First Anchor.

[Expulsion: 7%]

Seris stood still and watched the scene, the Calamity was staring at the Founder of the Cindari but that look was different from every normal look.

The Black Silence did not look at Cindar like an old servant, an important enemy or even an equal being.

That look was more like the look of a predator that had suddenly realized that a small insect had dared to pull its food out from between its teeth.

The ground under Lian’s feet cracked.

Not because of any movement from him, his presence had simply become heavier.

The pieces of ancient bones around him began to crack without anything touching them. A few seconds later, their surfaces collapsed and turned into white dust.

The sky above the graveyard also slowly became darker.

There were no clouds.

There was no shadow.

It was as if the light itself did not want to remain around that body.

Even the giant body of the Titan trembled for a moment, its fingers moved a few centimeters and the ground under everyone shook.

Seris narrowed her one healthy eye.

This was the first time.

The first time she truly saw the Black Silence angry.

Not human anger, not the anger of someone who wanted to shout, insult or break something.

It was the anger of a creature that believed nothing in the world had the right to resist its will.

The panel changed again.

[Expulsion: 9%]

The black strands became thicker, Lian’s body was pulled forward for a moment.

"What...are you doing?" the Black Silence said in a very low voice and something like hatred flowed through that familiar voice of Lian.

"I’m reminding you that you are only here because of me! You were freed because of me! And now you are acting like I’m no longer useful and you want to throw me away!" Cindar roared angrily.

This was perhaps the first argument that had ever happened between the two.

"This is the only warning I will give you! Abandon that human and accept me as your final vessel." he then added with madness.

Being chosen as the final vessel meant losing one’s awareness...or at least that was how it was for others.

He was sure that even after becoming the vessel, he could keep his awareness, he had prepared for this for all these years.

"You did something you should not have done." the Black Silence continued in a frighteningly calm voice and his gaze did not leave the mark on Cindar’s chest.

Cindar’s smile had still not disappeared, in fact, it may have become even deeper.

"Really?" he asked with clear mockery and pressed his fingers harder against the mark on his chest.

The dark strands trembled.

"I was the one who opened the way for you."

"I was the one who waited hundreds of years for you."

"I was the one who prepared this world for you."

"You belonged to me from the beginning." Cindar finished with a possessive tone.

"As long as you agree to abandon that human’s body, I will allow you to remain in this world."

For a moment, the entire graveyard became silent, even the sounds of the battles around them seemed farther away.

The Black Silence’s face did not change at all, but the ground under his feet suddenly sank several meters, the pressure of his presence passed through the area like an invisible wave.

Seris slid one step backward, One spread her legs wider, several Cindari farther away were forced to push their weapons into the ground to keep their balance.

Cindar still did not stop the process, he could not, all his focus was on the old Anchor, if he removed his hand from the mark, the expulsion would stop.

But the Black Silence was also in a strange situation, the strands were not only pulling darkness out of Lian’s body.

The bond was connected from both sides.

Every time the Black Silence tried to strengthen its existence inside Lian’s body with more force, the expulsion also became stronger for a moment.

If he released all his power and attacked Cindar directly, there was a risk that more of his existence would be pulled along that same bond.

And he could not kill the Anchor, as soon as he killed the Anchor, he would only be able to remain in this world for a short time and after that he would be expelled.

Rules were rules.

If he had been complete, if the part of him remaining in the Titan were released, he would not care about being expelled, even if he left this world, he could make his way to another world...Earth.

But it was still too early, he was still incomplete!

The two beings were trapped in a temporary deadlock.

Cindar could not fight, the Black Silence could not attack freely.

And Seris saw the chance, she had no idea why the relationship between these two had suddenly become hostile and why they were now against each other.

Of course, she did not care either, but she could not let the Calamity be expelled from this world, if it left this place, it would surely come after their world.

She had to kill the Calamity here!

Her eyes moved from the dark strands to the mark on Cindar’s chest.

The Anchor, this was what the system had mentioned, she did not know what an Anchor was, unlike Lian she had not seen the memories and she did not even have any information to use for reasoning.

But she also had no idea how she could forcefully stop the process, was such a thing even possible?

’Maybe if I kill Cindar, it will stop.’ she thought to herself, that was it, she felt that this might be the best way.

She turned her head toward the battlefield.

"Rindo! Cassian! Anyone who can hear me, kill Cindar!" Seris shouted with all her strength.

Unfortunately, she did not know that her idea was ridiculously wrong.
