Takker immediately noticed Draco and Eva thanks to his proximity senses through the movement of the sand. The worm didn't even bother to greet as it screeched viciously then rushed over to them like a shark moving through the sea.

Draco and Eva simultaneously cast their mental coercion upon the worm, making him screech with pain as he popped out of the sand and glared at the Evil Duo with his beady eyes.

It then opened its mouth and began sucking in air like a giant vacuum cleaner. The strength of the pull was quite great, and torrents of sand were dragged form all around to enter its mouth.

Draco and Eva became solemn, able to resist the pull, but the sand beneath their feet couldn't do the same. As such, the duo had to manifests wings and take to the air, where the pull became slightly stronger without anything to ground them.

However, Draco and Eva snorted at Takker's stupidity. Fine, if you think you can swallow everything, then eat this!

Eva began condensing abyss energy from her fourth branch, the Abyss branch. This was exclusive to her thanks to the mistake Amaterasu made, allowing Eva to merge the two branches into one inheritance previously.

So while Draco had nominally three branches, Eva already had four. She hardly used the fourth one because it was exceedingly dangerous to play around with Abyss energy at her new power level without having a good grasp of it.

But hey, since they were digitized and within the eternal world, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Draco also began condensing raw Destruction Energy and coiled it around his arms. He no longer needed items or to become a black dragon to use Destruction Energy at his current power level.

The Evil Duo fired off their dangerous energies at the same time, letting it swirl into the body of Takker who was still sucking despite feeling something dangerous from the powers Draco and Eva used.

Since they had infinite energy, they were naturally infinitely converting it into this elemental energy from raw bloodline energy, only that, as usual, the rate was poor. If they had better efficiency, the size of the beams they were firing could be planet sized at the least.

Takker swallowed it all, looking at the Evil Duo with hints of disdain. He believed that with his power of devouring, there was nothing he couldn't swallow and break down. Just watch, once those two cretins ran out of power, they would obediently be sucked into his belly and be turned into nutrients!

Remembering how they were currently besieging his mind with various oppressive abilities, Takker was filled with hatred at the pain,. His little brain was already not working so good, and these two were making things worse!

He couldn't wait until he digested them and processed them into shit. He would mark a special place in this desert and slowly enjoy defecating their remains out, then mark that place as a sacred site for defecating his hated foes!

Takker almost couldn't help but laugh when he imagined such a bright and beautiful future. In fact, his dream was so realistic that he began feeling a pang in his belly and it began to fill up!

Tsk, task, it seemed like his excitement was too much! To even turn thought to reality, Takker realized his hatred was truly limitless.

Hmph, but they deserved as much for causing him such pain!

Speaking of pain, his stomach was beginning to really sting. It felt like he was having a bout of slight indigestion, but that should be impossible. He was literally a fucking devourer, how could he possibly have such a thing?

When Takker investigated, he was shocked and horrified to find that his body was laying flat on the sand, bloated and blackened form head to toe  while still swelling larger per second. Any more, and he might literally explode into piece of flesh everywhere!

Takker couldn't understand how he got to this stage without feeling anything? He was simply lost in his thoughts for one second and then felt a slight pain, but now that he focused, the pain was so much that he actually wished to die.

As a Sand Worm, his life force was almost an Eternal talent in itself. He could basically regenerate from a piece of flesh. However, the strange energies he had sucked were simultaneously corrupting his flesh into some horrific variant, while the other one simply destroyed his cells from the fundamental level.

Long and short was that both of them suppressed his recovery ability and were literally killing him from the inside out. What was worse was that he was still stupidly sucking more in!

Takker wanted to stop his suction, but suddenly a huge wave of mental pressure land on his brain and he lost control of his body.

Takker went crazy as he finally understood. It was those fucking mental abilities! That was why he was thinking about foolish fantasies and the pain was suppressed until it was too late.

Feeling the intensity of the mental pressure, Takker knew that he could have literally been killed while still lost in thought. The only reason he broke out was because the two cretins attacking him wanted him to be aware of how he was played to death before he died!

Takker, through his barely veiled consciousness, could only force himself to tilt his bloated head to look upwards. There he saw Draco and Eva still calmly releasing the energy into his vortex, their smiles full of cruelty and enjoyment as he suffered.

A tear dropped from Takker's eye. He regretted meeting such cruel monsters and fighting against them. If he could return time back to where he started, he would immediately dig into the sand and flee for his life.

He might even try to communicate with them and beg for his dog… err, worm life.

As it were, he could only die in agony as he body finally exploded. Half of the chunks directly turning into nothingness after being tainted with Destruction Energy while the other half became a blackened mass of ugly tentacle horrors that screeched evilly as they fought each other and assimilated themselves.

These were made from the corruption of abyss energy and they become eldritch horrors that would make one scream. Eventually they combined into one giant eldritch horror that formed into a small beholder.

Draco looked at the evil abyssal monster and turned to Eva. "You have control of that thing… right?"

Eva had a conflicted expression. "It knows I am its mother and it loves me, but it so… evil. If left alone, it would ruin the entire universe happily, turning it into an abyssal hell."

Draco smiled. "That's actually quite cute, I was thinking of doing something similar one day."

Eva was left speechless by that and shook her head.

The Evil Duo and the beholder then rushed towards the final monster in the area, which turned out to be a giant rattlesnake that was coiled in a clearing, sleeping peacefully.

Draco and Eva shared a look and inspected it.

The moment they checked it out, their faces changed slightly. This was an illusion based monster, meaning that its mental defenses couldn't possibly be weak! Even if Draco and Eva could exert some influenced on it, it would not be too much given their own level.

However, they also sneered. It was impossible for this monsters illusion to work on them, so the best way to fight was a direct head on battle! As a mental focused monster, its physical prowess would not be too good.

As such, Draco and Eva directly transformed for the first time into their Black Dragon and Light Phoenix forms!

With a roar, Draco flapped his large wings and radiated endless Destruction Energy all over the place, turning the lush desert into a pseudo wasteland easily. Eva likewise screeched loudly while display his wings, causing light to sear and sand in other places, turning it into hard glass.

Parrat woke up scared, thrashing about as he felt the aura of danger. He was just dreaming about having a nice big meal and then he suddenly felt like he was locked on by two ancient behemoths.

When he looked around, he saw a Black Dragon and a Light Phoenix rushing toward shim with claws outstretched and killing intent in their eyes. He was immediately spoke as he hissed with terror.

Out of habit, he shook his rattle desperately, sending waves of sound that would hypnotize the mind of any listened and made them vulnerable for his consumption. That was how he had survived all these years and eventually cultivated to this stage.

Parrat expected Draco and Eva to stop, but they only paused for a split second before resuming their movements. The giant rattlesnake was shocked and even the Evil Duo were surprised. They had already tried to underestimate Parrat's power, but it turns out they had still overestimated him.

As such, they crashed upon the giant python and began beating him to death. Draco grabbed his rattle and tossed Parrat about, slamming him into various sand dunes with ease.

He then brought the rattle close to his maw as he breathed Destruction Energy right upon it, slowly destroying while Parrat thrashed in agony. The giant python's eyes became red from the pain and forgot its fear, filled with fury and the desire to live.

It coiled up and turned to Draco to bite him with its huge and slightly poisonous fangs, but before it could pounce, it was slammed into the dirt by Eva's talons which gripped its head like a watermelon.

Eva then began to dig into its brains by squeezing wickedly, making her talons slowly pierce the scales of the Giant python. Trapped between Draco and Eva, who each had one end of its body and were slowly inflicting pain and death upon it, Parrat's torso could only thrash terribly.

Seeing that this piece of exp still dared to struggle, Eva cruelly brought Parrat's head close to her eyes and made sure they made eye contact. The giant pythons eyes showed fear, hatred and madness while Eva's only displayed callous belligerence.

She then fired intense rays of light through her eyes like Superman, sending them right into the eyes of Parrat, using his own lens within his visual organ to amplify the rays. In seconds, Parrat's thrashing became more intense before coming to a stop finally.

Eva had fried his brain into paste, so how could he still be alive? It could be said that Parrat died gruesomely and undeservedly.

Eva then tossed the corpse aside as it began to digitize. She then transformed back into a human while Draco flew over while slowly changing back. When he eventually landed beside her, he was back in human form.

Draco gazed at Eva with a weird smile. "Tsk, tsk, you need to work on your temper babe."

Eva snorted. "He was making such a fuss and actually dared to try and bite you. How could I let him go after that?"

Draco sighed on behalf of Parrat.

Sometimes in life, it was just better to lie down and accept death rather than fight back.
