Wholly Undead 162 A Scream, Not So Silen

As he watched the emergence of the Angel, the old hermit raged, as he shouted, "Oo! Uh! So, what!" The Mountain Ape Hermit pounded his large chest, as his form rippled and expanded, growing by the second.

[Oh... s.h.i.t... Now I know which one was his boy...] Jack remembered crushing some type of animal creature in front of Verruca in Zitergall. He continued to watch the increasingly enlarging form of the Mountain Ape Hermit, as he grew well over fifty meters tall.

Jack helplessly watched the hermit change in front of him, as he directed the only part of the Angel of Death that was physical... The very tip of the scythe, just as it was with Boss Crag.

The Angel of Death was fully emerged and could be seen from all around the Ruined Continent! It raised its blade, and it came down quickly and swiftly landing into the back of the old hermit, just as he finished his transformation.

"Shiiink"

A low sound of a blade cutting into flesh sounded from the Giant Apes form, as he was sliced by the Angel of Death's Scythe.

"Oh-Oh! Don't think I can't beat chou!" The hermit's ma.s.sive form was quickly rolled to the side from the next attack, and even with his large size, he was still agile as before.

[d.a.m.n... f.u.c.k my unlife... Bat man tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate me, I have to deal with a yandere Vampire...] Jack had unknowingly reached into his tattered robes to touch the heart in his rib cage.

Standing on top of the Holy Palace watching the fight from afar, Princess Eris touched her chest just above where her heart resided... She watched on, as her other hand held onto a veil of crimson blood.

[Should I... help? But... I don't know if I can still drink regular blood...] Princess Eris looked down at the veil of her mother's blood she was clenching hard that would give her the power of a High-Rank Emperor for a limited time.

[Shhhhhhhit....] Jack had forgotten that he was housing the true heart of the Vampire Princess and had to be extra cautious.

While thinking up what was his next step to buy time for the prayers of Souigak to reach him, Jack watched as the old hermit launched itself into the air toward the Angel of Death, howling madly!

[No... No...! NO!] Jack watched over his head, as he saw the large Gorilla flying through the air using a palm technique to shatter his hologram! Jack had expected it to last a bit longer!

The illusion shattered and shards of light cascaded around Jack as it rained from the sky. Now with the illusion broken in the sky, the Giant Ape turned to face Jack again, with a more guttural voice, "Oo, Oo! I always knew Me stronger than Death Sparkler!"

The old hermit crossed the distance of a football field to in front of Jack in seconds, as he lifted his boulder-sized fists aiming at his target, the G.o.d-King of Deagoth.

Jack hastily raise his arm to block, as he lifted his Femur Ferula to hum his next holy spell, "Segex!"

Quickly an eave of light was summoned to surround Jack protecting him in a shielded bubble of radiance. This was Jack's most powerful defensive spell he had created so far, though he had not had time to see if Tux could improve it.

The ma.s.sive fists of the old hermit slammed into Jack's bubbled that near buried him into the thick and cracked earth of the Underworld.

Jack felt faint, as more and more of his power was drawn from his to sustain the shield. This was the major drawback of the shield, it had to be sustained. If used in precise instances, it wouldn't have such a drawback. In fact, Jack could be considered a genius of genius for creating a King rank spell that could block an attack from an Ancestor Ranked Cultivator!!!

A large hand shot forth into the created hole that Jack was now set into by force.

The old hermit brought the golden bubble of the G.o.d-King before his face as he tightly gripped the shield, "So much like an egg... Let's crack chou!" He then drew back and threw Jack with all of his force toward the walls of Saigunrai.

Being launched with such force, Jack could see the ground rapidly moving around him, as he saw the quickly approaching wall of Saigunrai.

Jack braced for impact, as he slammed through the wall cleanly, causing it to collapse between two towers, as he hurled through several buildings in the city.

Jack landed harshly as his bubble reached its end, and he fell to the ground.

[So kinetic energy isn't dispelled by my defensive bubble... Good to know...] Jack thought within his mind, as he attempted to lift himself from the ground to get on all fours, as his bones issued popping sounds from his joints.

Eris took long breaths as she stood atop the Holy Palace watching where Jack just landed holding on to her chest. She felt as if she was just slammed into the chest with a sledge hammer.

[I followed the prophecy... Did... Did I find the wrong one???] Eris began to doubt her conviction.

[He's coming back into the City!] Leslie's voice now echoed into Jack's mind.

Jack staggeredly got to his feet and haphazardly walked to a small merchant's shop he had face planted next to entering into the shop to buy more time.

After just clearing the doorway, a rumbling tremor was heard and felt through the ground, as the old hermit had landed where Jack had been previously. He was immensely pleased with his bodies' transformation. He hadn't gotten a chance to really let loose like this in many many years.

He looked into the crash site of the G.o.d-King but didn't see his target. Looking at the cobbled roads surrounding the impact crater, the old hermit scratched the back of his head wondering where the G.o.d-King got to... He looked in the sky, and around him in vigilance after another thought!

"Sneak attacks won't work on ME!" The Mountain Ape Hermit slammed his large fists into the ground many times shaking the city as a whole, as some of the buildings that were already unstable due to Jack's previous impacts, caused them to cave-in now due to the tremors in the ground being issued.

As the old hermit continued his displays of fierceness outside of the now nearing collapse shop, Jack leaned himself up against the merchant's counter inside. Jack had seen various goods scattered within the shop, from meats and hanging cheese wheels, at least that's what they looked like, to clothing.

[I guess this is a general store?] Jack didn't get out much, as he wondered how long was it going to take for Jordan to get the faithful to prey... [That f.u.c.king wheel is going to spin again, if Jordan doesn't hurry the h.e.l.l up!!!] Jack roared in his mind.

Outside the Mountain Ape Hermit had finally confirmed with his senses that there were no impending attacks in the sky, as he couldn't feel any gathering of magic. He couldn't feel the G.o.d-King either... Then again, he couldn't feel him, to begin with...

beating his fists against his chest, the old hermit took large strides around the area, when a thought struck him...

"Sparkle King! Shamelessly hiding from chour Ape Daddy! Get out here and get crushed like you crushed Me boy!" He reared back and bellowed to the four corners of the City.

[So, that's why he is h.e.l.l-bent on pounding me into the ground instead of pulling me apart!] Jack now heard the reason why he wasn't plucked apart.

A few minutes of the big ape stomping around in the streets, and the old hermit had reached the limits of his patience.

"Fine! Say goodbye to chour City!" A large fist smashed a small building on the other side of the street from Jack, as Jack tried to replenish his strength. He found it hard to concentrate while his life was endangered and couldn't properly connect with the plane of light like previously.

Another building was smashed, then another, then another. As the Giant Ape was slowly clearing the area of buildings and was increasingly getting closer to Jack's location!

With another crushing sound, the building around Jack fell into ruins, as he heard above him.

"Oh! Oh! So here chou are!" A large fist smashed itself ruthlessly into Jack's body causing him to go through the floor and slam into the bas.e.m.e.nt below.

"Hahaha! How weak chou are! Me heard rumors chou were stronger than this! Me even thought that the Death Sparkler was powerful, but it was nothing all along! Haha!" Another fist slammed into Jack from above, as Jack finally groaned in pain. Jack wrapped his arms around his rib cage to protect the squishy heart inside.

"Ugh!" Jack couldn't take the pain any longer. The first few hits weren't a problem, but now his bones continued to ache with each pa.s.sing hit. It was a testament to his bones for holding up against an Ancestor's physical strength... Especially an Ancestor that focused purely on physical strength...

The old hermit looked into the whole to expect the G.o.d-King to be in many pieces found him still intact, only groaning slightly as it appeared, he was going to get out of the hole.

The old hermit reached in and grab Jack by his legs and slammed him into the ground while still holding him. He slammed him again, and again, and again into the ground left and right attempted to break him.

He lifted the G.o.d-King to his eyes to see him in nearly no robes, as they had been almost disintegrated from his beating...

"ARAH!" The Giant Ape cried out as he slammed Jack into the cobbled road sending rocks flying in various directions forming yet another crater.

The old hermit jumped over to where Jack formed a new crater from his impact as he sent another wave of punches into the hole to break the G.o.d-King.

As punch, after punch was sent, the old hermit was cursing and raging!

"Why!"

Another punch was sent into the hole.

"Won't!"

Punch.

"Chour!"

Punch!

"Bones!"

PUNCH!

"BREAK!!!"

Eris kneeled down to one knee holding on in pain, as she helplessly watched her Owner getting pummeled. She steeled herself to drink her mother's blood to help! She wasn't sure what would happen, as she thought of some of her body's changes, but she would take this chance for her G.o.d!

The Mountain Ape Hermit continuously pounded into the area where Jack was now being buried further into the ground deeper, he went, as he could no longer hold back, as he groaned in pain from each blow. This pain was slowly building up in him, and it threatened to cause him to blackout first!

As Jack was taking blow after blow further entombed into the ground, from behind the Mountain Ape Hermit a heart rendering ground cracking sonic scream was issued!

All the windows in the Holy City of Saigunrai instantly shattered, as ferocious winds howled in its wake!

Just as Eris had put her veil to her lips, it shattered, spilling the blood within to scatter in the winds and paint red droplets along the room of the Holy Palace, as he hand quivered as she watched it sparkle in the limited light of the city.
