Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

'This blue-flame lion has a lot of perverted abilities! I must hunt it down and get them for myself! Its ice-cold flames and monster realm will be a great addition to my abilities, and it will help me in creating a loyal army that I can bring to my side at any time!' Thought he, who had the most excellent and perverted ability of all in existence but still was greedy for more.

The thing was that upon death, monster lords drop a condensed version of their ultimate move, and as long as one can provide a suitable quality and amount of energy to it, they can use the monster lord's ultimate move for themselves!

But hunting down a monster lord was too dangerous, and the danger level increases by a thousand times if a person goes solo!

Elliot turned to Freya, and after looking at her worried-filled face and feeling the need to ease his worry, he said, "I am guessing that the spider queen found out about my invasion and your betrayal and schemed against us. Taking the fact that we will inevitably use the portal generated by the stone stele into consideration, she changed the destination to this dangerous place. And we played straight into her hands, appearing straight in front of a high-ranked Monster Lord."

The voice he used was loud and full of ease.

The Monster Lord's fluffy ears twitched as it woke up from its slumber.

The blue-flame lion's tail was thick and tall, and it suddenly raised it high.

The moment its tail raised, its eyes also opened up.

The ocean-blue slanted pupil stared right at Elliot and Freya, killing intent burning wildly in them.

It was angry at them, for Elliot had disturbed its sleep, and since Freya was accompanying him, she deserved to die too.

Freya was already feeling troubled, but when the blue-flame lion's killing intent pressed down on her, big droplets of sweat oozed out of her forehead.

Elliot glared back at it and also released his killing intent, causing a pressure so mighty to press down on the land that it cracked, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared all over it.

The lion's thick brows furrowed, and its eyes squinted as it stared at him apprehensively.

His unbridled killing intent scared the shit out of Freya. Although she also had air in her chest, it was not oxygen but a pure manifestation of the fear she was feeling right now. A killing intent so thick could only belong to a man who had killed tens of thousands of beings without shedding a single tear, she thought, realizing that there was more to Elliot than what she thought.

As it now knew that Elliot wasn't a small fry but a being worthy enough to fight it, the blue-flame lion gave him respect by standing up on all four and roared so mighty that its roar produced so many shockwaves that they uprooted the nearby lamps and trees, caused the land to vibrate so violently that it felt as if a volcano had erupted trees and tried to put a debuff on Elliot.

[The blue-Flame Empyrean Lion, king of the twilight forest and the master of ten hundred thousand monsters, had attacked you with its intimidating and mighty roar.]

[You've failed the status check]

[Your stats had temporarily decreased by 5%!]

Elliot was taken aback by the sudden decrease in his strength, but he wasn't so shocked that he forgot to be attentive to his surrounding.

Its roar also almost ruptured Freya's eardrums.

They would've ruptured, but thanks to Elliot's timely intervention, she didn't become deaf, but she was bleeding from her eyes, nose, and ears!

After the roar, the blue-flame lion didn't attack them and only remained standing at its spot, and it was looking down at Elliot with eyes that said as it had already made its move, it was now Elliot's turn to attack!

It was basically so prideful that it wanted to give Elliot the chance to attack him once!

It didn't even bother with putting Freya in its eyes because she was no better than an ant in its eyes, and it could crush her just by stepping on her.

Freya was too weak; the blue-flam lion knew that as its roar had almost blasted her brain like a watermelon.

If it weren't for Elliot, she would be dead by now.

"You mother fucker, you just made me develop a soft side for you in my heart!"

Surprisingly, its actions caused Elliot to develop twisted affection for it!

Whether it was something good for it or not, it will find out soon enough.

"Stay back, and no matter what happens, don't get involved in our fight."

They were too strong and Freya so weak that she would become a casualty even if she didn't partake in their battle and just stand by the side.

He didn't want her to die as it would be like wasting a beauty with all the Bs, beauty, big boobs, and brain!

But how could she bear to abandon her lord and run away by herself?!

"I want to fight beside you." Freya gulped her fear and said with a resolute look in her eyes.

Elliot glanced at her, and she felt a deadly chill creeping into her heart. His eyes didn't contain any warmth, only sternness that forced her to swallow down whatever else she wanted to say and accept his decision.

"Kayn, take her away."

It nudged her onto its back before glancing at its master and then at the blue-flame lion. And right after, it darted away from this place. It knew that even if it returned, it wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on the monster's body. So it decided upon doing its best to protect its master's person from all the other dangers of this place.

Now that only the two of them were left in this place, Elliot, who no longer needed to worry about his companion, directed all his attention on the conceited lion and raised his hand to make his heaven-shattering and earth-rendering move.

"Heaven's blight!"
