Ellie's QI blew away Gazef. Her anger kept on increasing, as it fueled her QI. Her eyes seemed to get redder as she looked at her enemy, and she pursued him like a hunter. She moved as if she was kicking air, leaving sonic booms every time she increased her speed. Her QI flared all around her body, and when she arrived in front of Gazef, it exploded as she punched him.
Gazef was sent hurling towards the ground but didn't seem to have sustained a serious injury. He flipped in the air before he crashed, and monitored Ellie's next move. Which was, obviously, to pursue him. 'Tch…' Gazef cursed Ellie in his mind as he turned around and flew away. He didn't fight Ellie but instead escaped from her, running around the crumbled castle, while being bound by the Wind Cage.
"Stop running…STOP RUNNING YOU FAKE KING!" Ellie's anger started to consume her, as she couldn't cool down after hitting Gazef. She followed after him but was unable to catch him. That is, until, Gazef stopped himself. Ellie increased her speed, adamant on catching him this time. However, due to her anger, she failed to notice something important. Gazef's arm had regenerated.
"I wasn't running, you ungrateful bi*ch!" Gazef retaliated by extending both of his hands, trying to bind and choke Ellie. This time, killing her for sure. However, he failed to wrap his hands around her, as her QI burned in a way that made her akin to a small moving explosion. He could not touch her with his bare hands.
"DIE!" Unable to bind her, Gazef was left wide open. Ellie used this chance to drive her fist deep into his face. This time, she was able to feel his facial bones breaking, like salt crackers, under the immense force of her punch. Yet, unsatisfied, Ellie didn't allow his body to fly away. She caught one of his extended his arms, with her left hand, and continued to pummel him with her right one. Next thing she knew, Ellie's legs, as well as Gazef's whole body, were on the rubble of the castle. His face was akin to a liquid/solid slushy made of human flesh.
"I'm not done yet…!" Ellie was trying to charge up another attack, one that would be able to obliterate Gazef's whole body, she felt sharp pain from the right side of her abdomen. She looked at it, only to see that Gazef's hand, now covered with greenish black scales, had cut her. Ellie grit her teeth to bear with the pain while retreating to the back. She couldn't believe that Gazef was able to move with his head being mushed so she kept monitoring him.
Something astounding happened in front of her. Gazef's hand, as is it was a being on its own, decapitated him. The body, still on the ground started to wriggle around, and then moved as if it was being electrocuted. Ellie felt sick to her stomach by looking at such a scene. Then, as if time had been rewound, a head emerged. Gazef's head.
"It's not over yet…" Gazef said as he snorted some blood filled mucus. His whole body started to shine as if it was coated by oil. One by one, small black-greenish scales covered his body, turning into the pattern of a snake. It wasn't only one snake, but five. Two on each arm, one on his chest, one on his back, and the last one was around his neck.
Ellie couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had seen Gazef before, and he always looked like a human. It was the first time she had seen someone transform to such a degree. Her pain brought her back to reality, snapping her out of her deep thoughts. She put one of her gauntlet fingers into her wounds, cauterizing it with the intense heat.
"Your face tells me that you're curious about this transformation. It's very simple actually. During my younger years, I was able to stumble upon the carcass of a monster, unlike any of this world. It was a five-headed dragon, and each head resembled a long serpent. Luckily, the dragon was turned into stone by someone, or I would have died before. However, the curious thing was that its heart was still beating. So, without even thinking about it, I ate its heart. And, just like that, I fused with its properties. We were compatible since I was a snake beastman. Now, I am the closest thing to a dragon in this world!"
Gazef boasted as he opened both of arms wide. Ellie looked at him a fraction of a second before scoffing at him. "So, what? You're a dragon? Good for you. I'm a tiger, the only creature that is able to best a dragon! If you were able to attain a higher form by eating the heart of a dead creature, then I'll do it on my own, without the help of anyone else!"

"I believe it's time for us to finish this up. I don't feel the joy that comes from fighting strong beings. Instead, I can only feel annoyance…" Eric, with the head of the gorilla beastman in his hand, said as he looked at the remaining four guards. A peculiar aura was being released from his body. An aura, unlike anything the guards had ever seen before. After all, it was Eric's personal original technique, one created with the sole purpose of surpassing Ed.
"You…What are you?" The leopard man said as his ears flattened against his head. The other guards had similar reactions, as their bodies reacted instinctively to the threat that was Eric.
"Me? I'm an Avalon. The strongest second prince of the strongest family in the world. Ingrain this name deep into your hearts." Eric said as the aura surrounding his body grew stronger. His blond hair turned light emerald green, while cracks of the same color appeared on his body. A dark green fume protruded out of these cracks.
"I'm no longer taking it easy on you guys. You're too strong for me to win by normal means, so you can't blame me for going all out."
Hello everyone! Concerning my second novel, I think I'll be able to start the release by November. The reason I'm taking so long, is because I want to set up a patreon that will help with editors and covers in the future. If you guys want a sneak peek, I'll incluse it into tomorrow's chapter. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
A strange feeling permeated out of Eric's body. It was akin to the feeling one would get when one was surrounded by nature. It was a relaxing feeling. However, the royal guards weren't relaxed. Instead, they felt repulsed by Eric, as his presence intensified many folds after his transformation. They remained fixated upon his new visage, as well as rooted to the ground due to fear. But, they would soon come to know the mistake that they had made.
"Even if his presence got a bit stronger, it's not like his cultivation inc-" The Eagle lady, before she could finish her words, felt a change in her surroundings. Eric had appeared in front of her, but she couldn't see him. Even her strong eyes couldn't catch his movements, and thus her brain couldn't process the fact that he was right in front of her.
"You can die now." As Eric spoke, his body started to materialize in front of her eyes. She could see his sword floating in front of him, while he extended both of his hands towards her. One hand in front of her face, and the other in front of her chest. The next instant, the eagle lady felt pain. It was a type of pain akin to having water touch a scab. It was a type of pain that was followed by a sudden peace. By the time the peaceful feeling took over her, her body was lying on the ground, dead.
There were no flashy attacks, nor any extravagant techniques. She simply fell down on the ground, unmoving, after Eric waved his hands. The guards stood in shock after looking at this. None of them could react, as their fear of Eric grew even stronger now. People, since old times, were afraid of the unknown. Now, that fear was multiplied by the fact that it brought death with it.
Eric didn't give them the time to think about their next actions. He moved in an incredible speed again and appeared in front of the mole beastman. Be it the fact that he was stronger than the eagle lady, or the fact that fear brought out his full potential, he was able to react to Eric's appearance. The mole beastman created an earth wall between him and Eric, and sweat covered his entire body. Just as he was about to breath in relief, the wall broke into pieces. Again, he brought up a new wall. However, due to the dust created by the destruction of the first one, he failed to keep track of Eric's movements.
His fear took over his rationality, making him surround himself with walls from all directions. Outside of the wall, Eric stood motionless. The other two guards couldn't move in to protect their fellow guard. They could only look in horror as Eric went with his attack. He thrust with his hand as if he was trying to hit someone's stomach with his palm. A strong gust of wind picked speed, turning into a typhoon in less than a second, blowing away the wall and everything inside of it.
'I need to hurry up…' Eric thought to himself as his hair started to lose its green color. He turned around to look at the remaining guards and rushed at them. Like before, he disappeared and re-appeared in front of the two of them. The two of them reacted at the same time and attacked. They knew the best way to stay alive, was to actually kill Eric. Running, or hiding, was not an option.
A close quarters combat ensued, and the two guards were losing ground. Each time they exchanged blows with Eric, they felt a numbing sensation in their arms. However, they seemed to notice the decrease in Eric's power, so they were encouraged to hang around until they could beat him.
"You're not curious about how your friend died?" Eric said as he jumped to the back, and continued, "Your hands, you can't use them, right?" as he looked at the wolf beastman, whose arms were shaking. The wolf beastman's whole body started to shake uncontrollably, as he thought the same thing that happened to the eagle lady would happen to him. The guards' leader looked at him as if waiting for the inevitable to happen. He then looked at the eagle lady and noticed blood flowing out of her mouth, eyes, ears, and nose canals.
"I'm just kidding. It's too distasteful to use the same trick twice. For you two, I'll use my strongest technique to finish you off. But remember, this was created for the sake of bringing down colossal enemies!" Eric said as he held his floating sword for the first time since he transformed. The sword's color changed to emerald green as well, while wind started to gather around it. Eric held it by his waist while raising it a little higher.
The two guards were confused, but wary at the same time. They knew that Eric would use his remaining strength on this attack, so they planned to wait until he attacks, dodge the attack, and then take him down. They looked at him as he swung his sword. It was as if time became slow, and they could see his movements clearly. But, they didn't see anything attacking them.
However, the next instant that the sword pointed at the wolf beastman, a splat was heard. The leader turned his head slightly to look at what happened and noticed that only blood had remained in the spot where his friend was. Then, he noticed his own arm disappearing, as if a chainsaw was cutting it. 'I can't see anything…' The whole body of the leopard disappeared as well, leaving behind only blood. The whole process happened before the feeling of pain could go from his arm to his brain.
'Haa haaa…" Eric dropped to one knee as he caught his breath. He withdrew a potion created by Ed and drank it. He could feel his QI slowly rejuvenating as he walked towards the Wind Cage. As he flew to the sky, he started to undo it, and the scenery inside started to unfold. He could see Ellie fighting against Gazef, as well as a three-headed Hydra.

Sneak peek of my new novel!
"Try to use some magic," she said while resting on the table. Al tried to use 'Body Strengthening' but couldn't feel his magic power moving. 'Eagle Eye' 'Fireball' 'Fire Lance'…Nothing worked.
"I see that they work, hi hi hi!" Eldrida laughed maniacally as she dragged Al by his collar. Without his magic power, he was even more helpless to do anything. She opened the window and raised Al with one hand.
In the past week, Al kept looking for Eldrida's profile. He had a window dedicated to the people of the world, classed by alphabetical order. As he found her information, he was rather shocked. She donned many titles given to her by people. 'The Rampaging Witch', 'The Crazy Scientist', 'The Calamity Queen', and finally 'The Genius Dhruv Eldrida'. She was banned from Chaka kingdom, a kingdom that existed in the center of the continent, due to almost killing the first prince of that kingdom.
Al, after reading these things, was moved by her abilities and knew that he would be able to hone his abilities under her tutelage. Little did he know, her eccentric character would end up affecting him in the future.
"Don't come back until you hunt something worthy, you shitty brat!" She shouted as she threw Al out of the window. He kept flying until he hit the branches of a tree.
"You shitty granny!" Al couldn't help but shout in anger at Eldrida!
