Chapter 288 - Against Grotesque Flesh Trees 4: Boss!
-----
Noah shapeshifted into a gigantic, armored dragon with crimson-red and black scales, coated in shadow winds and a bloodthirsty aura. His muscles bulged with great power within, as the strength of several Skills stacking up with the Ancient Scion Transformation Skill made him even more terrifying, his power could be more or less comparable to a being even above his Rank!
With such terrifying power, he began to blast the Flesh Tree into pieces, punching it with his gigantic draconic claws and using Excalibur to slice through it cleanly. His dragon breath left enormous holes that were barely regenerating over the monster, as its tentacles tried to catch him, but he easily sliced them into pieces and devoured them!
His attacks continued to get stronger and stronger, as his sharp tail was used as a spear, crushing the creature with dozens of piercing attacks unleashed consecutively.
CLASH! BOOM! CRASH! SLASH!
"GGGRRRYYAARR…!"
The flesh tree boss roared in agony, as Noah laughed maniacally, his full strength couldn\'t be taken by this immense beast with powerful regeneration, as its entire body began to be pulverized into the ground into many pieces!
Noah charged a powerful amount of his soul, aura, and mana into his throat, releasing a gigantic breath attack and decimating the monstrous Flesh Tree into a pulp, splattering it all over the forest!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The pieces of flesh and the blood began to shower over the entire place, making it for a bloody scenario… Although all the Vampires and Blood Servants found it rather pretty and comfortable. Reminding them of the times when inside of Noah\'s Divine Realm, there would be a very tranquil blood shower that calmed down the people.
Poof!
Suddenly, several piles of items emerged, which Noah quickly saved inside his Divine Realm.
"And we are done, let\'s quickly leave before things disappear," said Noah through his second body at the side of Iris.
"Eh? So fast… it took like 20 minutes," chuckled Iris.
"Well, it is an SS-Rank Dungeon, nothing much," said Noah.
After having gathered everything, from corpses to items to magic materials, the party quickly flew away from the gate, and then it slowly disappeared.
As they came out of it, they saw several other teams delving into lower-ranked dungeons, slowly cleaning them all.
"That was a nice warmup exercise," said Arthur.
"Indeed, it was a bit of fun I suppose but after battling the beasts inside of Master\'s Divine Realm, monsters inside dungeons become quite dull…" sighed Timassa.
"Master, have the trees begun to grow inside your divine realm?" asked Jon.
"Indeed. It is just as I thought, eating strong monsters will make them emerge inside my Divine Realm as endemic life… Although they seem bloodier than before and redder," said Noah.
"Interesting. I wonder if Master eats humans, will humans popup?" asked Clementina.
"That\'s an interesting question, I never thought about it… I might as well try eating one in the next sector," said Noah.
Noah quickly flew inside his Divine Realm alongside everyone else, as he flew into the area where he had left all the corpses and dropped items.
Several Maids and Butlers began to quickly cook the meat and made a large feast using the flesh tree meat, the steaks were red and juicy, and some minced the meat and made delicious meat loaves, while others did meatballs and soup, and even hamburgers.
Noah had become rather interested in eating cooked monster meat even more than before, just to pass time, it had become one of his "hobbies", even more, that he had realized that the better the meat was cooked, the higher the quality it would be and the more chances for a Skill to be obtained there would be.
It was all connected, to an extent.
Noah and his party sat down around a large table in the middle of a beautiful Blood Rose Garden, right below the shiny crimson-red moon of his Divine Realm, as they did a toast with fine wine, the most expensive Noah could find between these two sectors.
"A toast for a bountiful harvest in our next dungeon explorations. And well, for the conquest of the world!" said Noah, charismatically inspiring his servants and wife, as everyone cheered and drank the wine, as they started to dig in.
Despite the hurry they were, and how malicious and monstrous they might seem, they seemed to enjoy life a lot and knew how to enjoy it to their fullest. Noah had learned to relax and take a break sometimes, speeding through everything wasn\'t completely necessary when his Divine Realm\'s time went faster than the outside world, so he had extra time here to assess things slowly and correctly while calming down his mind.
"Oh my, you\'re quite hungry today!" chuckled Iris, as she saw Noah finish his 104th plate of food in this dinner, asking for yet another one, with several extras.
"You are also eating a lot, despite not being as much as me, that\'s your 50th plate," said Noah.
"Oh! Yeah, the babies are asking for nourishment after all! I-It\'s not like I am fat or something!" said Iris while blushing a bit, she felt a lot of hungry after seeing all those bloody corpses, and it seemed that the twins inside of her womb were draining a lot of her energy while developing faster, so she needed to make up for all of the energy lost by drinking a lot of blood and meat.
Oh well, there were also special vegetables that grew in the Divine Realm, which were all Blood Attribute Divine Materials, which even Vampires enjoyed despite that they would usually find vegetables and fruits not so tasty after drinking blood for the first time.
Noah continued to eat while enjoying the day with his wife and his subordinates.
The more plates brought to him, the more he devoured everything in a single gulp, surprising the maids and butlers that were frantically cooking more and more food to please their lords. There was even an internal race between the many servants, trying to cook the food the fastest to gain more favor…
After a lot of eating, Noah quickly realized he gained a few Skills!
