Gluttony was hungry.
It had been a while since it had last gotten a proper meal, not since it had tasted that bit of power from the Void.
As a Gluttony that had been shattered and reborn by Ye Qiyan, it didn't know what its predecessor had been like before its birth.
All it knew was that what its master fed it had to be better than what the old Gluttony had ever eaten.
Things like the Goblin First Apostle, the Champion King, and even the power of the Void itself.
Had its predecessor ever eaten any of that?!
Absolutely not.
Its palate had already been spoiled rotten by Ye Qiyan~
Even if something tasted bad, no matter how hungry it was, unless its master commanded it, it would rather go back to the train and eat the useless garbage its master told it to consume.
【So hungry】
【Want to eat so badly~】
【That thing looks pretty delicious!】
【Eat it, convert it! Become master's new asset!】
Slime conversion! Gluttony's army crazily charged toward the giant lizard Mogruth.
With Eve locking on, there was no need to worry about the thing hiding within the black mist.
"Strange, tastes bad! Die!"
Mogruth swung the chains bound around its wrists.
With a single strike, it smashed a Level 9 Dragon Beast into pieces.
Its vicious, savage swings pierced through the endless stream of monsters surging toward it.
"Eat you!"
It bit through the Goblin Champion King's throat and swallowed it whole.
Even though it had no sense of pain or taste, it felt an intensely powerful revulsion churning in its stomach.
Nausea! Utter nausea! This nausea wasn't from flavor, but from the spirit, from the soul!
"You, what are you?! Not tasty! Not tasty!"
The Gluttony Army pressed forward wave after wave, caring nothing about losses.
One batch died, another batch took its place.
Convert! Convert!
Unlimited conversion!
【Want to eat! Want to eat!! Want to eat!!!】
Gluttony's appetite reached its peak.
The power of the Demon Card · Defiance was also brought out by Ye Qiyan and applied to Gluttony.
Mogruth spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Along with it, the flesh it had just swallowed that it absolutely could not digest.
The flesh hit the ground, turned into slime, and returned to Gluttony's body.
Mogruth was strong, stronger than any of the previous nine trial opponents.
But Gluttony was hungry, hungrier than it had ever been!
It didn't care if its body shrank.
After one wave of monsters was wiped out, it directly consumed a tenth of its own body mass to make the just-slain monsters reappear.
Its vicious, frenzied swings pierced through the endless stream of monsters surging toward it.
Endless, utterly fearless.
Mogruth had never seen an opponent like this.
A headless goblin it had just killed a second ago would charge at it again from behind.
It was furious.
Its vicious brutality erupted, but it only cleared the field for less than five seconds before being surrounded and attacked once more.
"Get lost!"
Mogruth roared madly, strange runes surfacing one after another beneath its scales.
The evil ritual was slowly driving its consciousness into madness.
And just before it went completely insane.
A crisp whip crack sounded through the air.
【CRACK!】
The moment that sound appeared, Mogruth's body stiffened. Having just focused all its attention on the Gluttony Army, it seemed to receive some kind of command, finally remembering why it had come to this trial ground.
Kill Ye Qiyan!
That was the only thing it needed to do!
"M-master! I will kill him! ROAR!"
Mogruth let out another roar, the runes beneath its scales fully solidifying, its body swelling in size. Ignoring all of Gluttony's attacks, it endured the Hellhound's hellfire head-on.
At the cost of its body being scorched black, it charged straight toward Ye Qiyan.
【!!!】
BOOM!!
The Steam King instantly transformed! Blocking Mogruth's path.
"Get out of the way! Weakling!"
"WHIRRRR—!!!"
The Steam King let out a blazing roar. Despite being only Level 8, with Gluttony's full concentration of power, it actually managed to hold Mogruth back.
Even though it was only stopped for a few seconds before being smashed to pieces.
But.
It had truly done it.
Gluttony wanted to continue stopping it, but it heard its master's voice coming from the Card Sequence.
"You did very well. So, tell me, you want to eat it, right?"
【Yes!】
【So hungry!】
【Want to eat! Want to be able to convert more and stronger things!】
"Then wait for dinner to be served."
Ye Qiyan, who had been standing still all along, grinned.
All the Demon Cards shone brilliantly.
Red Tears, Death Omen, Decisive.
They materialized beside him.
He sat back, the shattered throne of Defiance already waiting for him.
Red Tears tiptoed, removing the Crown of Corruption from the shrinking Inverted Cross, taking two quick steps, and expressionlessly placing it into Ye Qiyan's outstretched hand.
"Remember, leave the corpse intact."
His five fingers grasped empty air, and the Crown shattered!
Black light patterns of the Inverted Cross appeared across the bodies of all the demons!
On Red Tears' chest, in the eyes of the Raven Duo, on Decisive's shoulder.
Different locations, but the same result.
【ALL ABILITIES ENHANCED!】
Decisive and the Raven Duo shot out first. The former transformed into its massive form and threw a punch at Mogruth.
A fist wreathed in demonic flame collided with Mogruth, who treated it no differently than the Steam King!
BOOM!!
Mogruth was forcibly stopped in its tracks!
"ROAR!"
It tried to break through Decisive, only to find that this mech-soldier's strength and durability far exceeded that of the previous one.
And what about that malevolent flame clinging to its body!?
As an Evil Seed creature, why did it feel discomfort from this malice? Why was it even being burned by it?!
Before Mogruth could figure out what was happening.
The Black Feather Storm had already engulfed it completely.
The Demon Raven watched it with a mocking gaze, like it was eyeing the most delicious part of a fat roast lamb.
It wasn't hungry~ It just, liked to eat~ And it only ate the most delicious part~
"CAW!"
The shrill cry pierced through the dark canopy that shrouded everything.
Even the spectators outside couldn't help but have their hair stand on end, cold sweat dripping down their backs.
They felt as if they were about to die right here.
But for the audience, this evil and terror was something that giant lizard Mogruth had created.
They couldn't imagine what kind of horrifying, evil, and insane monster Ye Qiyan was facing within that darkness!
Ye Qiyan carried their hopes.
The spectators didn't want to see Ye Qiyan fail.
In this fear of death, someone gathered their courage and, weeping, shouted toward their Hope:
"Y-Ye Qiyan! Keep going! Defeat that monster!"
Where there was one, there came a second, a third...
"Go, Ye Qiyan!! Don't lose to that monster!"
"Yeah! You have to win!"
He heard their cheers.
They just didn't know.
At this very moment.
Within this darkness.
The moment Red Tears joined the battle, Mogruth was like a rubber ball, endlessly toyed with and trampled by Ye Qiyan's demons.
Mogruth, this monster without pain, knowing nothing of death, the moment the Demon Raven also let out its shrill cry at it.
For the first time in its life, it felt the fear of something called Death.
