Chapter 503: The World that Throws Challenge after Challenge(7)
“You’ve impressed me. Let me send you to the afterlife,” Kores commented, and his center eye blinked.
The next moment, the space around Oregon started fragmenting into shards. The process continued for a while. Oregon didn’t even understand what was happening to him since he felt nothing.
A few seconds later, the space started to get restored automatically. When it got entirely repaired, Oregon was nowhere to be found. Except for a square card that had appeared out of nowhere, nothing was there.
“Eh!” Kores exclaimed in surprise, seeing the card floating in the air.
The square card looked nothing but ordinary, yet it had survived the ultimate attack of Kores, giving him an expression of surprise.

“NO, HOW COULD IT BE?” Oxen yelled in shock as he suddenly felt an unbearable amount of pain as if someone had ripped out his heart.
Oxen understood the meaning of the sudden arrival of the pain. One of the Void beasts had died in the group.
“Who could it be?” Oxen muttered, with a face full of horror and clutching his heart since he only knew that one of the Void beasts had died, but not who they were and how they had died.
Oxen weren’t the only ones to have such extreme reactions. Talia, who was in the midst of a battle, had the same response as an unbearable pain suddenly attacked her and gave her the feeling of her heart getting ripped out. The sudden situation almost created a chance for her opponent to injure her.
Since Talia was in the midst of a battle, she went crazier. She was fighting her opponent without using the awakened mode since she didn’t need it, but feeling the death of one of her fellow beasts made her go on a rampage.
Talia activated her awakened mode straight away, resulting in her opponent getting knocked back several thousands of miles away.
Before the awakened mode, Talia had a humanoid body structure, with three heads, each having a horn. The left head had a curved horn that pointed at the right, the center head had a straight horn, while the right head also had a curved horn that curled at the left, resulting in Talia’s horn looking like a trident.
Similar to her three heads, she had six hands, with three hands each on both sides.
There was an eye each on her left and right head, with the left eye being entirely black and the right eye being white. On the center head, she had a pair of eyes, with the left eye having a white sclera and black pupil, and the right eye had a black sclera with a white pupil.
The left and right head didn’t contain a mouth, nose, or ears, but only the central head.
If not for her two extra heads and two more pair of hands, Talia looked similar to a human.
Suddenly a blinding white light engulfed Talia as she activated her awakened mode, forcing her opponent even further.
Nothing could be seen what was happening behind the light, and since the opponent had a bad feeling, witnessing the situation, it decided to escape in the air.
A few seconds later, the white light receded, presenting a new Talia into the area.
Talia now only had one head, with trident-like horns on her head. She had two eyes, one being entirely white while the other being black without any other color.
Her three pairs of hands had also turned into one hand each on both sides. Her hands were now even thicker than the combined thickness of six hands, while her size had also grown several folds, reaching more than several billion miles. Even the territory she was on looked to be small in comparison to her body size.
The opponent that had decided to escape in the air felt its blood-freezing cold in fear as now it had nowhere to run.
Talia had no sense of emotions in her eyes as she looked at her opponent. The next moment, countless sharp metallic shards appeared out of nowhere and pierced the entirety of the creature.
There was not even a minuscule body part left unpierced by the metallic shards on the creature.
The creature looked in shock and horror as it was still alive even when it had no severely uninjured body part left, and it didn’t feel a thing when the shards pierced him.
“ARGH!”
The next moment, the creature let out a blood-curdling scream as suddenly it felt an unbearable amount of pain.
It was the metallic shards finally acting. Talia, just like other Void beasts, had superiority over the element of metal.
The metallic shards that had penetrated the creature didn’t cause harm to the physical nature of the person but were spiritual. They were now slowly piercing the consciousness of Talia’s opponent, resulting in it feeling an unbearable amount of pain.
Time flew by.
Metallic shards started slowly disappearing, but at the same time, the body parts it had pierced also faded with them.
With the disappearance of each metallic shard, Talia’s mental strength was getting more powerful since the spiritual power the creature lost got assimilated into Talia in its purified form.
It was just one of the attacks that an awakened Talia had, showing the amount of growth a Void beast would have in this mode.
When all the metallic shards disappeared, the creature had also disappeared.
At the same time, the restrictions that she had already surpassed after awakening also disappeared from her.
After the death of the ruler, there would be a rain created by its soul power in its territory, which would then make the territory return to its optimal situation.
But this time, the rain never occurred as Talia devoured the last bit of the opponent’s soul power, resulting in nothing left for the rain even to take a form.
Even after killing her opponent, Talia hadn’t gotten over the death of her unknown fellow beast, and she continued her rampage.
In only an hour, Talia had reached the central ruler of the territory, and only after killing it did she come around and feel a thing again.
Talia then cursed herself for hoping that it was Oregon that had died, not Oxen, since she had a special relationship with him.
