Chapter 9: The Divine Assist from Bubu Wang
“You actually killed Laster, ah!!”
The usually cute and chubby Gluttony suddenly went berserk, roaring toward the sky.
A fissure appeared on Gluttony’s round belly, like a massive mouth, its edges lined with sharp teeth.
The center of the fissure was pitch black, and an eye suddenly opened within it, very similar to the eye inside the Gate of Truth.
“Eat you, I must eat you!”
Gluttony’s voice turned hollow, and the fissure on his abdomen spread all the way to his neck.
Su Xiao’s entire body tensed up. This was the true form of Gluttony.
Compared to the change in form, the change in Gluttony’s personality was even greater.
“Eat, devour.”
The large mouth on Gluttony’s chest opened to its maximum, the surrounding fangs extending outward.
Riiip~.
Red electric light flickered inside the mouth, and a circular vacuum wave spread forward, heading straight for Su Xiao.
Su Xiao sidestepped, barely dodging the vacuum wave.
Boom. Dust surged.
A trench appeared on the ground, and the building directly in front of Gluttony now had a circular hole.
Su Xiao looked at the area Gluttony had devoured.
“Range: ten meters long, two meters wide.”
This area wasn’t shattered—it had vanished into thin air. More precisely, it had been swallowed into Gluttony’s stomach.
Neither the Realm Severing Thread nor the Dragon-Slaying Flash could withstand this kind of devouring.
At the edge of Gluttony’s devouring range, there was spatial force. Although the Dragon-Slaying Flash was exceptionally sturdy, it couldn’t resist the cutting of space.
Su Xiao quickly charged toward Gluttony, who launched another attack.
Boom!
Another area disappeared, swallowed into Gluttony’s belly.
Taking advantage of the gap between Gluttony’s attacks, Su Xiao circled behind him. Facing Gluttony head-on was extremely dangerous, but getting behind him was a different story.
Gluttony immediately tried to turn around, but his speed was too slow.
The Dragon-Slashing Flash thrust forward, the long blade sinking into Gluttony’s body.
Pfft, the long blade pierced through Gluttony’s body, entering through the back of his neck and emerging from his chest.
The Dragon-Slaying Flash stabbed through the eye on Gluttony’s chest. Pale blue electric arcs surged, and Gluttony let out a scream.
“It hurts so much. What do I do?”
The eye on Gluttony’s chest showed signs of closing. Just as Su Xiao was about to widen the wound, he noticed Gluttony take a deep breath.
Su Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly withdrew the Dragon-Slaying Flash from Gluttony’s body.
Boom!
Gluttony’s devouring ability activated. If the Dragon-Slaying Flash had still been stuck inside Gluttony at that moment, a third of it would have been devoured.
Checking the blade of the Dragon-Slaying Flash, he found no damage. Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Though it was dangerous, Su Xiao had discovered something: after the eye on Gluttony’s chest was attacked, it would noticeably close a bit more.
As the eye closed, Gluttony’s devouring range decreased.
Realizing this, Su Xiao thought of a way to deal with Gluttony: attack that eye first.
A frontal attack was clearly not an option. If Gluttony activated his devouring ability while he attacked, Su Xiao would be swallowed into his stomach. Attacking from behind was different.
Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Flash and pulled out another long blade. This one was White quality, with a rating of only 3 points.
He coated the blade with Cyan Steel Shadow Energy and quickly circled behind Gluttony, stabbing him in the back.
Pfft, there was noticeable resistance, but with the enhancement of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy, the long blade still pierced through Gluttony’s body.
“Ah!”
Gluttony screamed in agony. The burning energy of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy increased, indicating greater pain inflicted.
Boom!
The devouring ability activated. The White-quality long blade in Su Xiao’s hand snapped, the front third of it disappearing.
A White weapon breaking was nothing to Su Xiao. He immediately pulled out another wooden spear, also White quality.
Every time he stabbed Gluttony, Su Xiao consumed a weapon. This was why he had put away the Dragon-Slaying Flash—these White weapons were his emergency supplies.
After consuming six weapons, the eye on Gluttony’s chest was riddled with holes, narrowed to just a slit.
The devouring range had clearly decreased, from the original ten meters long and two meters wide to less than two meters long and half a meter wide.
Gluttony’s threat was diminishing rapidly. When that eye fully closed, Gluttony would pose no more danger to Su Xiao.
Although Gluttony’s intelligence was somewhat low, he understood the situation. His ability was about to disappear.
“I have to avenge big sister. I can’t close my eyes.”
The Ouroboros pattern on Gluttony’s tongue glowed. He stuck out his tongue, and the Ouroboros suddenly emitted a red light.
“Black Hole.”
Gluttony roared, and the eye on his chest, riddled with holes, suddenly widened.
Boom!
A vacuum wave spread out, covering a large area. Su Xiao was caught within it.
Su Xiao’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected the enemy to have such a move.
Just as he prepared to brace for the devouring, the anticipated devouring didn’t occur. Instead, a powerful suction force appeared.
Gluttony couldn’t devour such a large area. The vacuum wave earlier wasn’t devouring.
Su Xiao’s clothes fluttered violently as wind pressure hit him head-on. The Dragon-Slaying Flash appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it into the ground. Yet he was still slowly being pulled toward Gluttony—the suction was too strong.
Trees were uprooted, flying toward Gluttony, where they were disintegrated and devoured upon reaching him.
Su Xiao shot out the Realm Severing Thread, but before it could wrap around a building, it was affected by the suction.
Su Xiao used Shave, but after a few meters, he stopped, still within the suction’s range.
Rumble.
Even the ground was sucked into a large pit. Buildings collapsed and were pulled toward Gluttony. The eye on his chest seemed to have turned into a black hole.
Su Xiao gradually approached Gluttony. Though the situation was urgent, he remained calm under pressure. He pulled out the Shattered Elf and fired several shots at that eye.
Bang, bang, bang…
The bullets were disintegrated before they even hit the eye.
Five meters, three meters, two meters. Su Xiao was getting closer and closer to Gluttony.
Just as Su Xiao was about to make a desperate last stand, his peripheral vision caught a sneaky figure approaching Gluttony.
That figure was black and white, covered in mud. Su Xiao looked closely—wasn’t that Bubu Wang?
Bubu Wang must have burrowed underground earlier, otherwise he wouldn’t be covered in dirt.
Bubu Wang rushed to Gluttony’s back, bit down hard on his fat butt, and pulled backward with force.
Gluttony lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
Boom!
A large pit appeared in the ground. Gluttony and Bubu Wang fell into it, and the eye on Gluttony’s chest fully closed.
The suction disappeared. Su Xiao got up and jumped into the pit.
Bubu Wang’s bite was a stroke of genius. Otherwise, Su Xiao would have been in serious trouble.
Jumping into the pit, Su Xiao saw Bubu Wang biting Gluttony’s head, swinging it left and right. Gluttony screamed in pain from the bites.
Seeing Su Xiao jump into the pit, Bubu Wang looked at him, his gaze seemingly saying: ‘Master, see how brave I am?’
“Well done, Bubu.”
Su Xiao rushed forward quickly. Without his devouring ability, Gluttony was just a paper tiger.
Ten minutes later, Gluttony lay on the ground, covered in slash marks.
