Chapter 200: Advancing To The Platinum Tier

Nightingale glared at the Moon-eating Sky Wolf as they rushed down from the top of the mountain. She tried her best to teleport to the snowy mountain, and her strength sent the snowflakes on the ground flying.

Pieces of memories invaded her mind.

It had been ten years. She would never forget that year’s winter—a silver-moon wolf had killed her parents. Her parents’ bloodied bodies, as well as the sounds she heard before they died, were still fresh in her mind. She would never forget the magical beast that had killed her parents. The mockery in her eyes was filled with cruelty.

“It can’t be wrong; that Moon-eating Sky Wolf is the magical beast from back then!”

Nightingale gritted her teeth. Despite the fact that nearly ten years had passed and the magical beast in front of her was a Moon-eating Sky Wolf rather than a silver-moon wolf, she was certain that it was the same one that had killed her parents back then.

She remembered the notch-shaped mark on the ear of that Moon-eating Sky Wolf, and she remembered very clearly the broken chain locked on the silver-moon wolf’s right ear. That silver-moon magical wolf appeared to have been trained by someone and had escaped on its own.

She had wanted to take revenge on that magical beast for so many years, and she finally had the opportunity. Hatred blinded Nightingale’s eyes, and her right hand touched the dagger at her waist.

The distance got closer.

Three thousand meters.

One thousand meters.

Five hundred meters.

When she was about 500 meters away, Nightingale’s figure suddenly disappeared from where she was. She had turned into an illusory shadow and flashed forward five times in a row; it drew a lightning-shaped curve. “Gold-tier dark-elemental fighting skill, Lightning Shadow Chain Stab!”

That was her best fighting skill. The moment she released it, the ground was plowed into a deep ravine. Snowflakes danced in the air, and ordinary snowflakes were whisked by her fighting spirit, which contained the aura of a sharp arrow.

She appeared in front of the Moon-eating Sky Wolf almost instantaneously. Nightingale was as small as an ant compared to the Moon-eating Sky Wolf, which was more than 100 meters long and more than 10 meters high. She did not, however, lose her will to battle. When her knife met with the magical beast’s fur, sparkles flew, and a few snow-white hairs were shed. That was all there was to it. A few holes also emerged on her dagger.

The sword only managed to cut some of its furs. Nightingale did not expect the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s body to be so tough, so she stepped back subconsciously.

Roar!

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf stopped moving forward and lowered its massive head in confusion. Nightingale’s appearance was reflected in its bright red eyes.

It stared at her for a long time, and then the confusion in its eyes faded. It opened its mouth and pulled it into a strange arc as if it was smiling.

It was not only Nightingale who had recognized the wolf; it seemed like the wolf had recognized the girl in front of it too. It raised its right claw slowly and then a sharp nail before it slid toward the ground in front of Nightingale.

Nightingale’s face grew pale when confronted with the attack.

She felt as if her power had stopped working, and her body became extremely stiff. Fear lingered in her heart, just like ten years ago when she saw her parents die tragically, but she could do nothing. At that time, she was only a little girl, and she could not face such a powerful demonic beast like a silver-moon wolf. However, things had changed. She was already a gold-tier warrior, and she still could not defeat it.

Even if she used her hatred to suppress her fear, she could not stop her body from shivering in front of a higher-tier life form. She had miscalculated the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s power, and it was too late for her to realize it.

“I’m sorry, Mom and Dad, I could not avenge you. It seems like I will see you guys soon.”

Nightingale threw the dagger in her hand as if someone had ordered her to do that. She had trained hard for the past ten years, and she had learned from the border count. However, all of those were meaningless then.

She closed her eyes in despair. With a muffled bang, she was sent more than ten meters backward. She spat out a mouthful of blood and felt dizzy. She felt as if her body was no longer hers. Then, more than ten meters of snow mist rose from the ground as stones flew everywhere.

That beast had the power to destroy the world with just a flick of its nails—the power of a platinum-tier magical beast was truly terrifying.

After it sent Nightingale flying backward, the Moon-eating Sky Wolf did not seem to be satisfied. Its twelve wings created a layer of air current, which continued to sweep Nightingale higher. The curve of its mouth became wider as if it wanted to watch Nightingale fall from the sky and smashed into pieces.

At that moment, a shadow appeared in the sky. Watson spread the light-elemental combat aura wings on his back and appeared beside Nightingale. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the storm that the Moon-eating Sky Wolf had created.

Watson scowled as he held Nightingale in his arms and gazed down at the Moon-eating Sky Wolf.

He did not know why Nightingale hated that magical beast, which led her to charge at it regardless of the difference in their strengths. He only knew that that magical beast had injured his friend, and it had smiled like a human. It looked cunning, which made him dislike it very much.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf raised its head and looked at Watson. It sensed a threatening aura from Watson, so it was extra vigilant.

It had only felt the same aura from a human once before.

The image of a human that was half bone and half flesh and blood invaded its mind, and it trembled. The Moon-eating Sky Wolf was an existence that was comparable to a dragon. However, when compared to that particular great existence, it was merely an ordinary silver-moon wolf with the Sky Wolf bloodline.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf was born in the Misty Forest more than ten years ago, and it had been an ignorant member of the forest. One day, a demon with purple hair and a body that was only half flesh and blood had captured it. He had brought it to the top of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. The Moon-eating Sky Wolf was not the only captured magical beast there. The demon bound them with some magic tools that weakened their strength so that he could run inhuman experiments on them every day.

Sometimes, the purple-haired demon would feed them some strange black liquid. Occasionally, he would remove some of their organs and replace them with parts from other magical beasts. He would also pit them against each other. Then, he would feel their corpses to some black rats.

Almost half of the magical beasts did not survive the experiment or died because of the low temperature on the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. The Moon-eating Sky Wolf had survived by chance. There was bound to be a reward after a tragic price, and the prize was that it had become smarter. It had obtained a magical ability—Advanced Devouring.

As long as it devoured, it would become stronger.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf could eat trees, rocks, and even other magical beasts, and it would continue to evolve. Of course, the most delicious and nutritious ones were humans. A few years after it was experimented on, the purple-haired demon went out for a trip during the winter. The Moon-eating Sky Wolf had used its advanced devouring ability to bite off the chains and followed the other magical beasts to the outside world.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf had found a village and killed most of the people there. That was the most delicious meal it had ever had in its life. Unfortunately, a man with purple hair, who was different from the purple-haired demon, had saved the little girl. Then, it was captured again and returned to the mountain.

Since it had learned how to devour, it had become a completely different existence from the other magical beasts.

Over the years on the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, the Moon-eating Sky Wolf had continued to devour and evolve until it became a platinum-tier magical beast. Finally, it was released from that cage, and while it was escaping, it had run into the little girl who had escaped its clutches ten years ago. It was another joyous occasion for the Moon-eating Sky Wolf, a reward from heaven for its escape from its predicament.

It was a reward, so the Moon-eating Sky Wolf had to prepare before it would start to eat. However, the child who looked to be a little more than ten years old had interrupted its appetite.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf considered such a child as a human larva. The boy was a protected child, so he must be more delicious than an adult. It could swallow a hundred of such children in one bite.

Even though the child had a dangerous aura, the Moon-eating Sky Wolf had swallowed at least a few thousand magical beasts over the years. It had won many battles, so it was quite confident. Furthermore, the more dangerous the aura, the stronger the person was. It would be an excellent tonic for the wolf.

Gulp.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf stretched its long tongue and licked its wet lips. It could no longer hold its restless appetite. It immediately spread its wings and flew into the sky. At the same time, the Moon-eating Sky Wolf opened its mouth and released the Advanced Devouring ability; it aimed at Watson.

It wanted to consume Watson first and then enjoy Nightingale’s despair and fear, just like how it had swallowed Nightingale’s parents in front of her many years ago. That would be very interesting.

A human’s fear and despair was the most delicious food for the Moon-eating Sky Wolf.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf narrowed its eyes and revealed a sadistic expression similar to that of a human. Its mouth emitted an irresistible smile as it pulled Watson closer to Nightingale. Watson had no reactions during that time and was about to be swallowed.

At that moment, Watson looked at the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s wide open mouth and stretched out his free hand to fan the front of his nose. “It stinks. It seems like you don’t brush your teeth after meals. Furthermore, your roar is too loud. As a platinum-tier magical beast, you have no class and a bad temper! I had wanted to fuse you and bring you back to Blackmoon Castle to expand my strength. Unfortunately, you don’t meet my aesthetic standards. So, you should die here.”

Die there?

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf laughed mockingly. How could the child kill it? The child was the one who should die; he was food. Suddenly, it heard the child mutter something under his breath. “Great Sin Beast, Gluttony Transformation.” Immediately after that, a thick black fog appeared on the young man’s body. It wrapped around him and expanded rapidly before he turned into a strange magical beast that was more than a hundred meters tall.

The magical beast was in the shape of a black goat. The fur on its body was condensed from the black mist, and it had no facial features on its face. One could only see its large jaws squirmed around its body at will. One could also hear the whispers of hunger and see its bright red intestines from its mouth.

That magical beast faced the Moon-eating Sky Wolf, and it opened its mouth almost at the same time.

The Moon-eating Sky Wolf claimed it could swallow the moon because of its wide mouth, and that was almost incomparable to the magical beast that Watson had transformed into. Watson’s transformed beast’s mouth overlapped with the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s mouth that was dozens of meters wide. It was at least ten times bigger than the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s head; it could even hold one-third of the wolf’s body.

Crack!

The giant maw bit off one-third of the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s body, including its head, with a muffled sound. Only a smooth and bloody wreckage remained, which slid back to the ground lifelessly.

The Black Goat was a magical beast that had devoured the Moon-eating Sky Wolf. The wolf made a frightening gnawing noise as its size fluctuated between big and small until it stopped. The dark fog dispersed, and Watson, who was cradling Nightingale in his arms, reappeared. He sighed and complained.

“Such a horrible taste! Also, aren’t you overestimating yourself? You have clearly mastered several powerful platinum-tier spells, yet you’re trying to kill me with the devouring skill. In terms of devouring platinum-tier beasts, is there anything else that can compare to Gluttony?”

Watson’s expression was calm, but his tone was authoritative. Furthermore, his body emitted an aura that surpassed his ability, a sign that showed his advancement to the platinum tier.

He had been at the gold tier for a long time. Gluttony’s ability was to devour everything and turn it into its own power. Since he had absorbed the Moon-eating Sky Wolf’s power, Watson’s body and combat aura were greatly strengthened. He had already touched the threshold of the platinum tier; he was only a step away from advancing to the platinum tier.
