Chapter 1079: Advances Across Demon Ranks
The male Hell beast was led away, and as it was, the Mother hell beast had no choice but to follow after calling to her babies again and again, but not one of them answered.
Another person had also survived. With no surprise there, it was the devil that had wanted to feast on Athena’s flesh. It survived the boulders, climbing out of the heap of stones.
It frowned at the sight of what happened all around. However, it hastily rushed to check within the boulders for Athena, moving the heavy huge boulders and throwing them to the side.
However, all it found was a crushed arm.
Its face contoured in anger, and it screamed smashing the rocks by its side. It was obviously unhappy with the current result of things.
After a moment of displaying its anger, it turned around and went away.
Meanwhile, unknown to it, Its prey was buried deep within the boulders. Yes, Athena was alive.
What had happened was a simple one. All she had done was to play a visual trick on the Devil. On the moment of impact by the boulder, she had severed her own arm, and that was why there was blood all over the place.
At the same time, she had rushed for the Hell beast that had been attacked earlier on and had its entire rear end blown up.
What Athena had done was to dig into the Hell beast’s body through the gapping wound in its rare.
Meaning that right now, she was buried under a hundred feet of heavy rocks, all over while she was in the body of a dead Hell beast.
Of course this move of hers had secured her life, however, being alive was different from living.
Even if she were to scream, no one would hear her. Then again, she would not do that. This hell was better than the hell out there. basically, some bads were not that bad.
And this was a fine example of that.
And so with no choice, she stayed within.
Luckily for her, that blast to the rare of the hell beast, had happened if not, she would not have had a secured place to hide.
However, all wa snot hopeful At least not yet. After all, this was the body of a hell beast. even though it was now dead, it was still a very unique space, much different from normal animals.
Firstly, the bacteria and parasites in its body had began to move, searching for a new viable host. There was nowhere for them to go except into her body which was warm and inviting.
However, if parasites that would normally survive in the body of a hell beast were to enter her body, she would most definitely die.
After all, Hell beasts literally fed on the souls of the damned.
And she was a person, having a soul. Meaning that she was a very attractive source of nourishment.
However, sensing her immediate environment, Athena could already figure this out. Therefore she wrapped her body with Darkline magic.
Naturally, Darkline magic consumed a lot power and she was soon in need of sustenance. She had long already ran out of the shit from the Hell beasts, but fortunately for her, she was in the source of food itself.
And so she brazenly fed on the insides of the hell beast. This was something that she would have never thought she would do as there was no way to do it before.
Back then, she did not have what it took to break the creatures skin that led to its juicy meat. Secondly, even if she could, there was no way she would have been able to do it. At least not with its mother around.
And so, in this manner, she remained in its body for many many days.
During which all she did was feed on the meat of the hell beast and then regulate the energy and magic it provided in her body, again and again.
There is a saying that there was always a silver lining in stormy clouds. This was one such silver lining. As she fed on the body of the hell beast, she not only absorbed its essence, she also took in its natural runes.
Many of them were still unripe because of the creature’s age, but it was no matter for her body.
In only the first week, Athena had broken through into the Deep demon realm, and another two weeks later, she had broken through again.
in under a month, she had reached the third rank of the Deep demon rank.
At this time, she had run out of food, and had no choice but to leave.
Initially, not aware of the extent of her new found strength, she thought that rising would be difficult for her, but it was absolutely easy.
She dug her way out of it. her clothes were a mess, and she had never wanted a shower as badly as she did now.
However, there were other things to do first. She decided to use the corpse of the Hell beast child she had been hiding within to make temporary clothes for herself. Of course the hide was dangerously thick.
But Athena had also gone through a peculiar kind of evolution.
She willed and one of her fingers elongated, becoming like a knife, and then she cut into the body of the hell beast like scissors tearing apart paper.
Athena did not even realize that what she was doing was virtually impossible for her to do before.
But here she was ripping apart flesh that was as hard as steel like it was paper.
Just when she was done working, creating new clothes for herself, she turned to leave, but paused.
And then she turned about. She could hear growling sounds. like something was here, growling in pain.
It was low, carrying in its cries intense sufferings....
