Subscriber of the Gods Chapter 419 - Primordial Evil (2)

Whip! Whip!

Ethan attempted to tame while dodging the tentacles left and right.

-Taming failed.

-Taming failed.

The taming kept failing, and the impact was transmitted to his hands, but it was fine.

“A superior tamer never gives up.”

However, the repeated taming attempts continued to fuel Kethrun’s anger.

Boom-! Boom-!

Kethrun had already recovered from the wounds Ethan had inflicted.

As a result, as time passed, it moved its tentacles faster and faster, attacking Ethan.

But Ethan wasn’t weak enough to allow Kethrun’s attacks in the subterranean world where darkness had disappeared.

Countless experiences.

Countless preparations.

And the skills he had built up were now alive and breathing in every movement Ethan made.

Swish-!

Ethan lightly dodged the attack while simultaneously cutting off the tentacles, blocking all of Kethrun’s attacks.

There were clearly thousands of tentacles. Yet those thousands of tentacles couldn’t catch Ethan.

But that was only for a moment.

Although Ethan had been perfectly avoiding and blocking all attacks, he eventually couldn’t withstand Kethrun’s mass offensive.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. Among the countless choices Ethan could make, one movement that Kethrun’s tentacles had learned and predicted hit accurately.

Swish-!

A powerful tentacle attack flew in.

Of course, Ethan had many defensive techniques, so he could have blocked it and continued his counterattack.

But Ethan didn’t do that.

‘I should show superiority.’

The most important thing in taming is to make the hierarchy clear.

This side is the master, and that side is the pet.

These two things need to be clear, and to do this, showing superiority was the fastest way.

‘I’ll show more clearly that I’m strong.’

Ethan used super speed.

Originally, he should have been hit, but when Ethan raised his speed even further, the tentacle just sliced through the air.

“Ah, I can’t see.”

Sandar let out a sigh.

Until just before, he could somehow see their fight. But now, leaving only sound behind, he could only remain silent at the fight between Ethan and the Primordial Evil, which didn’t even leave an afterimage.

The only thing he could do now was just watch, but now he couldn’t even do that.

“How fast can he move…?”

And how on earth does the Primordial Evil perceive such movements and swing its tentacles?

Moreover, it’s not just simply swinging tentacles.

“The tentacles are creating magic circles…”

The abilities of the Primordial Evil were endless.

Thousands of tentacles become thousands of hands and thousands of entities with will.

These entities gather to instantly create magic circles and shoot magic.

This couldn’t be seen as simply a monster.

“It’s a disaster itself…!”

What if this Primordial Evil rises to Tartaros?

Could his brothers defeat this monster that sprinkles mental magic with thousands of tentacles, shoots magic, and looks down with hundreds of eyes?

The equipment made by his brothers are armor and shields that can block any attack, and sharp weapons that can cut even such hard armor and shields.

But he couldn’t imagine it at all.

The sight of that Primordial Evil falling.

He couldn’t imagine any of his brothers inflicting wounds on that Primordial Evil.

The only thing that came to mind was total annihilation.

No one thinks they can stop a typhoon when they see it.

No one thinks of blocking a flooding river when they see it.

It’s just a natural disaster to evacuate from. It means the way to quell that anger is not to confront it.

“But why isn’t magic being cast?”

The Primordial Evil kept moving its tentacles to draw magic circles, but no actual magic was being cast.

“No way.”

Could Ethan be blocking it?

“While fighting like that, he’s simultaneously nullifying hundreds of spells? Impossible!”

However, magic circles kept failing to form.

Eventually, the Primordial Evil seemed to give up on using magic and directed all its tentacles to attack Ethan.

“If it’s Master Ethan Whiskers…”

It seemed like he might be able to subdue this disaster.

If this scene were to be conveyed to someone exactly as it is, would they believe it?

“Even I, who’s watching it now, can’t believe it…”

While Sandar was marveling at the unbelievable sight, the Primordial Evil Kethrun was under considerable stress in this situation.

Because of that flame floating on the ceiling, its entire body was exposed, rendering its main weapon, darkness, ineffective.

It kept trying to touch the flame, but the flame didn’t even budge, as if it had been there for thousands of years.

“Kirruk.”

Then there’s no choice but to attack the arrogant human who created that flame with stronger force.

It must make him kneel!

Shaaaak-.

Kethrun shook its tentacles.

Then, powerful energy masses began to form.

“It forcibly entered phase 2?”

Ethan looked surprised at the energy masses being generated from Kethrun’s tentacles.

This wasn’t Kethrun’s normal pattern.

He still perfectly understood Kethrun’s patterns.

‘The phase changes according to health.’

But now, with its health fully restored, Kethrun was simultaneously showing patterns of phase 3 and 4.

The energy masses being generated from those writhing tentacles.

This was one of the attack patterns that completely annihilated the expedition team that was with Ethan in MePan.

‘It explodes on contact. It’s a very simple mechanism, but it’s not just a simple explosion.’

It absorbs all the mana in the surroundings simultaneously with the explosion.

And its power increases as much as it absorbs.

‘To block that explosion, mana is needed, but the explosion steals the mana.’

It’s a problem even if you anticipate and defend against it. Because that defense is also made of mana.

‘The only way to block it was artifacts.’

At that time, only Ethan had artifacts of high enough grade to block that explosion.

‘But it’s easier to block now than it was then.’

It was a very simple story.

‘Because there isn’t that much mana.’

There’s no mana to be stolen anyway.

‘And there are many defensive techniques that can block it.’

Kethrun began to spread the exploding spheres.

The energy masses gathered on ten tentacles combine to form one sphere.

Hundreds of such spheres began to float up.

Kethrun was certain.

That it would punish this arrogant human.

No matter how strong that human is, all humans basically gain power through mana.

Without mana, humans are infinitely weak.

It’s because they were born weak.

Kethrun thought it could crush that human with this attack.

Whoosh-.

The flying sphere exploded. And simultaneously, other spheres began to explode, stimulated by it.

Kethrun freely controlled the spheres, concentrating firepower to completely erase any place for Ethan to escape.

Boom-!

An enormous shockwave spread through the subterranean world along with a thunderous sound.

“Kirrrrruk.”

Kethrun growled lowly. This sphere had enough power to injure even Kethrun itself.

But thinking this level of power was enough to kill Ethan, Kethrun continued to make growling sounds.

As if laughing.

“Ma-Master Ethan Whiskers!”

A flustered Sandar shouted.

It was a tremendous explosion. Even Sandar, who was quite far away, suffered internal injuries from the shock.

“Cough.”

To suffer this much injury just from the shock at this distance.

Sandar wiped the blood from his mouth.

“No, no. This can’t be.”

Ethan, who was engulfed in an explosion of this magnitude at close range…

Sandar cried out in a despairing voice.

However, after the aftermath of the explosion subsided.

Ethan was standing in that explosion that had blown everything away.

“Huh…?”

Sandar’s expression brightened again.

Ethan, who emerged from the explosion, didn’t have even a small scratch.

“Try it one more time.”

“Kiruk.”

Kethrun could no longer contain its anger.

It frantically swung its tentacles and entered phase 4.

This was something that should never happen normally, but Kethrun momentarily felt something indescribable from Ethan.

Kethrun appeared uninjured on the outside, but it was now covered in wounds.

It had been cornered.

“So it’s phase 4.”

It wasn’t the situation he wanted, but this was even better.

‘I’ll firmly instill the hierarchical relationship.’

“I’ve been saving this until now. But this is when I should use it.”

Ethan raised his index and middle fingers.

“Call Ditrinir.”

Then, a magic circle was drawn at Ethan’s feet, and a pitch-black dragon was summoned.

“You called!”

Dragon Ditrinir roared as it floated in the air.

Then it looked alternately at Ethan and the enemy in front of him, blowing air through its nose.

“What on earth are you fighting!”

The summoned Ditrinir was greatly surprised.

It was ready to fight any enemy for its contractor. If there was anywhere he wanted to go, it could take him there with these wings.

But that horrible being was unexpected for Ditrinir.

“This is the subterranean world, and that’s a Primordial Evil.”

“…This is the subterranean world?”

For winged beings, the subterranean world wasn’t a very good place.

But this subterranean world is much wider than the land above. That’s why Ditrinir could fly around as much as it wanted.

After all, it’s a place where the gigantic Primordial Evil lives.

“Give me your orders.”

“I’m going to subdue that thing.”

Ethan climbed onto Ditrinir’s back.

“One strong breath attack, please.”

“Understood.”

Whoosh-!

Ditrinir, carrying Ethan, flapped its huge wings and flew high.

At that moment, the Primordial Evil swung its tentacles to knock Ditrinir down. But Ditrinir easily dodged the tentacles and gathered its breath.

Shaaa-.

“There, aim at that eye!”

With hundreds of eyes, it was impossible to know which eye to aim at.

“All of them!”

At Ethan’s words, Ditrinir shot its breath widely.

Shaaaaa-!

Simultaneously with the breath being discharged, Ethan created the Ghost-Slaying Sword.

‘Part of the Primordial Evil is a spiritual being. Bihyeongrang’s power works.’

Then he imbued the Ghost-Slaying Sword with the power of infallibility and threw it at Kethrun.

Stab-!

“Kirrrrruk-!”

It was quite a reaction. But Kethrun’s reaction was somewhat strange.

“It’s coming.”

Hundreds of eyes looked directly at Ethan.

The most powerful attack in phase 4 was ready.

-No one can prevent death.

It was the Primordial Evil Kethrun’s instant death technique.

Kethrun’s voice was heard directly in Ethan’s mind.

“I know.”

Ethan said.

“But I can run away.”

Death will come someday.

But it doesn’t have to be now.

“Forever.”

Ethan expanded Extinction immensely. It was a big burden, but to swallow the instant death curse that Kethrun was casting, the power of Extinction had to become stronger.

-Survival probability decreases!

-Survival probability decreases!

-Strength is draining.

‘Damn.’

But now he had reached the final stage. The decrease in survival probability was only temporary.

“Now it’s the finishing stage.”

The Primordial Evil was one of the pinnacles of evil on the continent.

‘Among the many evils of the continent, including evil gods, it’s so strong that it’s difficult to handle. But.’

Ethan clenched his fist.

‘Now I’m wrapped in the power of two gods.’

The God of Thunder and the Moon Goddess.

Crackle-.

Sha-a-a-.

Ethan infused power into the Frost Sword and Thunder Sword.

‘I can do something outrageous.’

If someone saw it, they would say it was impossible.

But Ethan has been making impossible things possible until now.

“It’s the same now.”

You never know unless you try.

Ethan whistled.

“Ditrinir! Go higher. I’m thinking of striking down from above.”

“Understood.”

Ditrinir was also quite wounded in pride.

“I can’t be beaten by a bottom-feeder using tainted magic.”

Shaaaaaa-!

Ditrinir shot its breath at the position Ethan pointed with his sword.

And simultaneously, Ethan jumped down, holding the two swords in reverse grip, and struck down at Kethrun.

Crunch-!

“Kirlalalalalak-!”

Ethan Swordsmanship 4th Form

Eternal Frost of Trust

The Frost Sword and Thunder Sword were stabbed right into the body part.

At the same time, Ethan left the swords as they were and picked up the whip.

-Taming successful!
