Chapter 175 Reckless Power

Boom boom boom boom boom—

The raging flames roared, and the air trembled.

Pitch-black flames exploded in the night sky ahead of us, about twenty to thirty meters away. In an instant, a fierce wind surged, light shattered, and scarlet karma fire ignited briefly before being crushed and scattered by the power of darkness. The screams from the distant crowd grew more chaotic and shrill. But I had no interest in paying them any mind. With excitement, I stepped forward. In the next moment, the man’s distorted figure fell from the sea of black flames, hit the ground, and then stood up again.

“Ahaahaha—”

He let out a manic laugh. His limbs and torso, twisted and corrupted by the power of chaos, were rapidly spreading with large patches of dead black. His bones were so fractured that it was impossible to count how many places they were broken. White, sharp bones protruded from his chest and thighs, blood gushed out, and the muscles on his face twitched from extreme pain—or perhaps it was a smile.

His jaw had fully recovered.

Dead smoke billowed out from the parts of the clown’s body corrupted by the poison. Countless crimson lines like blood vessels extended from his various wounds and spread across his entire body, resisting the spreading black spots. They managed to forcibly halt the spread of the chaotic power.

In mid-air, exploding black flames rained down, landing beside the clown and far away. The erosion of the dead smoke continued to spread. I took only three steps forward, and my vision was almost completely engulfed, turning into vast scorched earth.

The grass not far from my side had long since withered. Terrifying dark mud flowed, lifting the blood droplet that had fallen to the ground, wrapping around it, and twisting back toward me, wriggling in front of my eyes. I stretched out my left hand, and the droplet fell from the dark mud, landing in my palm.

…Sniff sniff.

As I slowly took my fourth step, I gently inhaled through my nose.

The scent emanating from the blood droplet was delicious, sweet… mouth-watering.

Could this be eaten?

“Sloosh—”

My saliva was about to flow…

“Interesting… hahaha… interesting…”

The clown nearby laughed maniacally, bending over with laughter. He seemed indifferent to the blood droplet falling into my hand, acting like a madman who felt neither pain nor fear, hunched over, one shoulder higher than the other, limping on one leg, dragging his broken body towards me, step by step…

Despite being corroded by the dead smoke, the power of karma fire burned once again, enveloping his entire body. Those gruesome wounds healed rapidly in the flames.

“Chaos power… karma fire… What have I seen? How could such a thing happen? Silvyga, what kind of monster are you… interesting, really… too interesting!”

Boom!

Flames suddenly spread out in front of us, colored like blood, instantly engulfing the man who was completely bare. The power of sin surged uncontrollably. In the next instant, a huge, withered arm emerged from the burning flames, carrying shadowy winds, and slapped down instantly!

“Hmph.”

I sneered and took another big step forward. A breeze stirred underfoot, lifting my skirt. Black dead smoke circled around me, and chaotic flames erupted, shooting up to nearly thirty meters high, forming an apocalyptic tornado. A strange white light suddenly illuminated the night of Buckhorn Town. Immediately afterward, at the moment the giant hand struck overhead, a dark green arm shot up to meet it. The slender fingers clenched into a fist and slammed into the palm of the bloodied hand—

Rumble!!!

At the moment the two bizarre hands clashed, a massive sound reverberated through all directions. The shockwave spread outward, sweeping away scorched earth, debris, and destroyed fences, carrying everything in its path, roaring and rolling further away. The burning church collapsed for the second time, turning into ruins amidst the deafening roar.

Less than a second after the collision of brute force, the clash of pitch-black and scarlet flames erupted again from the center where fists met palms. Overwhelming power surged forth, and black and red flames rose into the night sky, like ferocious dragons sweeping outwards!

Bang!

The ground caved in, creating a cracked pit.

“Ahaahaha!”

The clown’s unrestrained laughter reached my ears from less than five steps away. Hot winds blew against my face. I felt joy, and a bloody glow shone in my eyes. My small mouth slightly opened, exhaling. Dead smoke and karma fire surged out with my breath, returning…

The rising abyss mud climbed up his body and solidified in the impact. The pitch-black armor instantly formed.

I had not yet fully unleashed the power of Chaos, but the surge of energy had already far exceeded my original expectations. I could destroy him, destroy the clown… destroy everything… I… want to eat something…

“Time for dinner~”

In the next moment, the blue giant hand suddenly swung aside, the massive fist deviating from the blood hand’s palm. Five fingers formed a claw, grabbing the wrist and twisting forcefully. In the ear-piercing “crack crack” sound, the blood hand was forcibly twisted into a spiral, as if molten lava, like water squeezed out from a towel, splashed around.

In a flash, the second blood hand and blue arm almost simultaneously blasted forward. One punch, explosions, and impacts raged. The clown’s laughter continued, and I felt an indescribable excitement. Saliva dripped down my mouth as I grabbed the blood hand with the blue arm and yanked it back forcefully, pulling the clown’s barely beastified body out of the flames.

“Ahaahaha!”

I heard my own joyful laughter. The blue arm released the blood hand and smashed heavily onto his head—

Boom!

The terrifying force, like a pile driver, smashed the clown directly, making his back sink deep into the cracked scorched earth. His blood hand was already useless, his body still swelling, growing hair the color of blood, and his head changing shape. But the deer antlers hadn’t grown yet. His other blood hand quickly clenched my body, exerting force…

“Cough!”

I coughed up blood, feeling my internal organs instantly mixed together. Something wanted to come out of my mouth, then my throat rolled, and I swallowed it down. The bloodthirsty light in my eyes became even more frenzied, a sweet smile hanging at the corner of my mouth, and the dense black fog spread even more. The blood hand holding me was corroded by the power of Chaos, emitting a “sizzle sizzle sizzle” sound, its color dimming and withering.

Eat him…

Eat his power…

In my mind, there seemed to be a magical voice urging me.

He is my food…

I drove the vast, unrestrained power within me, raising both blue arms high, smashing them down again on the transforming clown—

Boom!

In the midst of the huge commotion, the ground beneath my feet sank further. Fiery black flames burned on the semi-monster’s body. Faintly, I heard countless terrified, heart-wrenching screams, words like “monster,” “demon,” “abyss” drifting to my ears, chaotic… so noisy.

Lifting both arms, smashing down.

Boom!

Lifting, smashing down.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom—

“Hehehe… hahahaha…”

“Ahaahaha~”

Unrestrained laughter, both the clown’s and mine. One was hoarse and strange, the other melodious like a silver bell. The one hitting laughed wildly, and the one being hit also laughed wildly. Two different laughs spread amidst this intense, terrifying clash, sounding extremely exhilarating.

“They saw you, they… saw you… hehehehahaha…”

“Shut up…”

Boom!

Sparks, scorched earth, and unknown debris flew and scattered in the peripheral vision, disappearing in the chaotic, terrifying vortex of power.

The clown’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, his words interrupted by the impact: “You… let them go… look, they’re trying to escape…”

“What are you talking about? Food.”

Boom—

“This is really… a happy thing… do you think you saved them? They will still die… they will die because of you… hehehe…”

“It’s none of my business.”

“Guess how the church will handle this… hahaha…”

“Be good, don’t move, don’t resist…”

“You… hahaha… what kind of monster are you… I’m so interested… ah, feels like it’s getting hard…”

“Saying such stupid things, let me eat you.”

In the midst of the massive shock, the man was almost deeply embedded in the ash. I slightly straightened my waist, feeling a bit bored. This was going nowhere. So, I manipulated the blue arm, plunging it into the scorched soil, grabbing the clown’s head, and with a dull “boom,” crushed his nearly成型、already growing antlers deer head completely.
