Chapter 1024 Prelude to Greater Disaster

Without a doubt, the thing that was trying t squeeze its way out of the abyss opening was a fleshly abomination.

However, the fleshly abomination was bigger than any fleshly abomination Leon had ever come across.

It was still severely underestimating its size to say that the fleshly abomination was a hundredfold bigger than the previous fleshly abominations; it was at least a thousandfold bigger.

"What is that thing? How can it be so big?" a Paragon-level Golden Suanni near Leon exclaimed with disbelief. "Can something like that be beaten?"

"Bigger doesn't necessarily mean stronger," Leon casually said before adding, "Nevertheless, that thing is most likely powerful for those white fiends to fear it like that."

That being said, Leon wasn't in a hurry to join the battle. He stayed on the tree branch and observed the gigantic fleshly abomination from afar.

At the same time, the gigantic fleshly abomination finished squeezing its way out of the abyss. When that happened, the Whitebone Fiends became even more frantic.

Skree!

The Whitebone Fiends screamed desperately as if they had truly lost whatever reason they had to fear. They fled from the gigantic fleshly abomination with all their might.

However, the gigantic fleshly abomination had no intention of letting any of them escape.

Numerous fleshly tentacles were shot out from the gigantic fleshly abomination's slime-like main body to catch the fleeing Whitebone Fiends.

Surprisingly, the fleshly tentacles did not wrap around their prey. Instead, they directly penetrated straight through the Whitebone Fiends' bony bodies.

The fleshly tentacles were more like muscles, while their tips had a silvery-metal shine.

Then, they continued to catch hundreds of Whitebone Fiends in the same manner before pulling them all back into the gigantic fleshly abomination's main body.

"Everyone, back!" Dawnchaser shouted.

The Paragon-level Golden Suannis immediately retreated and created some safe distance from the gigantic fleshly abomination's tentacles while fending off the frenzied Whitebone Fiends.

"What the hell is that thing?! Are they not on the same side?!" Goldblazer wondered with great shock.

The Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons watched as the gigantic fleshly abomination devoured hundreds of Whitebone Fiends at a time with each of its tentacles.

And each time it did so, the gigantic fleshly abomination's size would increase.

Dawnchaser and the others did not know how to defeat such a monstrosity as they felt its monstrous lifeforce; it didn't seem like something that could be killed with ordinary physical attacks.

"This monstrosity… I don't know how strong it is, but that overwhelming lifeforce isn't something a Transcendent would have. This thing's regenerative abilities must be on the same level as the Divine Beasts…!" Goldenstride analyzed with a solemn look.

"Lord Cindertail, do you have any good ideas on how to defeat this monster?" Dawnchaser turned to Cindertail for answers while smacking away dozens of Whitebone Fiends in front of them. New chapters are published on (f)ire

"I don't!" Cindertail replied honestly before adding, "However, I don't think we should approach it carelessly without understanding the full extent of its abilities."

"But if we don't, that monster will continue to feed on the Whitebone Fiends and grow stronger," said Dawnchaser with a deep frown, full of worries.

"Hah, but if we try to stop it, we will become its food instead," Goldenstride added.

"Furthermore, if we break formation, the Whitebone Fiends will breach our defensive line and flee into the jungle. We can't let that happen."

Once that was said, Dawnchaser and the others could not help but agree.

They could only watch the gigantic fleshly abomination grow.

At the same time, the gigantic fleshly abomination inflated upwards like a balloon that was about to pop.

Poof!

The gigantic fleshly abomination burst, shooting out countless objects into the sky like a powerful rapid cannon.

The objects that sprung out of the gigantic fleshly abominations were… Whitebone Fiends!

However, the Whitebone Fiends had all undergone a change in their appearances after being devoured by the gigantic fleshly abomination.

They all had a layer of flesh!

Shree!

The Whitebone Fiends screeched with fear.

As it turns out, they didn't really fear the gigantic fleshly abomination. What they actually feared was heights, which was quite strange.

"The Whitebone Fiends fear heights? This doesn't make sense," Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis were immediately puzzled by the discovery.

At the same time, they were also confused by the gigantic fleshly abomination's objective in launching the Whitebone Fiends into the sky.

Leon and the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragon observed the Whitebone Fiends ascending into the sky with great momentum.

The Whitebone Fiends disappeared into the black clouds shortly after.

"Lord Dawnchaser, take a look! That giant monster looks like it is dying!" Goldblazer's words brought Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis' gazes back to the ground level.

At that moment, the gigantic fleshly abomination was like a man's dying mushroom that shriveled after unloading all its energy; it shrank to a certain point before decaying like crumbling old rubbles and turning into dust.

The biggest threat had unknowingly killed itself—or so Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis thought.

However, the worse had yet to come.

As Leon witnessed everything unfold from the tree branch, his brows knitted into a big frown. The scene had been too bizarre.

"It looks like we won't have to intervene, Master," Rainshine stated.

"No, I don't think it will end with just that," Leon furrowed his brows and said, "That giant monster exhausted all its lifeforce and energy to send those white fiends into the sky. I doubt those white fiends will die even if they fall back to the ground from such heights."

"But those white fiends were obviously afraid of heights. Why would that giant monster do such a thing, even at the cost of its own life? What is it trying to accomplish?" Rainshine wondered with a puzzled look.

"It was trying to…." Leon slowly uttered before his eyes suddenly widened in realization with great alarm. "Oh, no. It looks like a greater disaster is about to befall the Golden Suanni Clan."

Nevertheless, the situation was even worse than Leon imagined.

Shortly after the Whitebone Fiends disappeared into the sky, gaps started to appear in the black clouds, allowing sunlight to pass through and shine down on the abyss.
