Chapter 381 Battle Escalates?

"Chong-"

A sharp clang rang out, like metal clashing, echoing throughout the space, deafeningly loud. Sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks exploding, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Seeing that his attack had no effect whatsoever, Meros was not surprised at all, and immediately withdrew.

His wings flapped rapidly in the air like lightning, creating a violent gust of wind. His figure, like a ghost, streaked across the air, leaving a fleeting afterimage, instantly putting distance between him and Fei Bo.

"Tsk, now that you've already made your move, it's my turn."

As Phyllis watched Meros retreat rapidly, a disdainful smile crept onto his lips.

He seemed completely unconcerned about whether Meros would respond, and after saying that to himself, he took action without hesitation.

Fei Bo lashed the whip sharply into the air, and with a crisp "crack," the whip made a clear sound as it struck the ground. Then, he skillfully restored the whip to its most familiar shape and gripped it tightly in his hand.

At this point, Fei Bo's body had completely mutated. Apart from his face, which still showed some human characteristics, the rest of his body had become unrecognizable, making him a monster.

The clothes he was wearing were clearly specially designed and made. Even though his body had undergone tremendous changes and was now four or five times larger than his previous human form, the clothes remained intact and showed no signs of damage.

Moreover, it still fits his thin body comfortably, as if it were custom-made for him.

Even more surprisingly, the garment did not deform excessively due to his body's expansion; its original shape remained clearly visible, as if it possessed some kind of elasticity and adaptability, automatically adjusting to the changes in his slender body.

Fei Bo's current "hands" and "feet" are very similar to his when he was a child, and have completely transformed into the shape of tentacles.

These tentacles are numerous, some with several, some even with more than a dozen, intertwining and entwining to form a unique structure. This variation makes the thin "hands" and "feet" look both peculiar and mysterious.

In addition, the thin whip seemed to have been affected in some way; whether it was because it absorbed his blood or for some other reason, its thickness had increased significantly.

However, this change complements his current form perfectly, making the whip a better match for his body, as if it were an extension of his body.

With a crisp sound, Phibos and Meros clashed fiercely once more. Each collision was like the impact of two powerful forces, producing a deafening roar.

"Pat-pat-pat—"

Just then, the sky seemed to be moved by the fierce battle, and suddenly it began to rain.

The rain came unusually quickly and suddenly, pouring down without warning, as if heaven had deliberately added a dramatic touch to this battle.

"Hahaha, look, this is all God's help!"

Fei Bo looked up at the sky and saw the torrential rain, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter echoed in the rain, sounding somewhat arrogant.

As he finished speaking, the dense jellyfish around him seemed to be under a spell, quickly stretching out their bodies, like plants that had been parched for a long time and were eager to get more rainwater.

After coming into contact with rainwater, these jellyfish swelled up at an astonishing rate, becoming larger and thicker.

Originally, it would take one or two of these jellyfish to barely deal with one of Meros's tentacles, but now, each jellyfish has become exceptionally powerful, capable of fighting a single tentacle with ease.

"is it?"

Meros stared blankly at the scene before him, a faint smile playing on his lips. Yet, within that smile lay a barely perceptible hint of indifference and disdain.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed intently on the dark cloud.

Then, he slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, and a powerful energy rapidly condensed in his hands. This energy was like a burning flame, intense and dazzling, as if it would devour the entire world.

With a soft shout, the energy in his hand shot straight into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, a deafening roar came from the sky, and the energy was like a sharp sword that ruthlessly pierced through the thick dark clouds.

The sunlight, like a golden beam, poured down from the torn opening, illuminating the land shrouded in rain.

As the sunlight streamed in, the torrential rain abruptly stopped, as if stunned by the powerful force. The raindrops, illuminated by the sunlight, shimmered like sparkling gems.

"You've been on Maple Star for so long, and you've actually started to believe in such vague and ethereal things as God? You weren't like this before; you used to scoff at these so-called beliefs."

Meros's gaze fell on Philip, his voice cold and tinged with sarcasm.

When Fibo heard Meros's words, he did not show the slightest anger on his face.

“I don’t believe in God, but what about you? Don’t you? Otherwise, why would you be willing to stay here for several years for a mere human woman? Speaking of which, I don’t even know if that woman is alive or dead now. But looking at how this place has become, she’s probably already dead. Hahahaha.”

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and said without any attempt to hide it.

A faint laugh echoed in the air, tinged with schadenfreude and mockery.

His words were like a sharp blade, piercing Meros's heart and precisely hitting his minefield.

"You don't need to trouble yourself with that."

Upon hearing Phib's words, Meros's anger flared instantly. His face turned extremely gloomy, and his previously peaceful demeanor vanished without a trace.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out the words, each one filled with anger.

Before he finished speaking, Meros launched another attack without hesitation, his body rushing towards Phibos like a bolt of lightning.

Driven by rage, Meros's attack became much more powerful and his speed increased by nearly a third.

The moment Meros charged forward, a strange black aura suddenly emanated from his body.

At first, the black mist was just a thin layer, but as he moved forward, it became thicker and thicker, as if it were constantly gushing out from his body.

The black smoke quickly gathered behind him, forming a dark black ribbon of smoke.
