Out of countless Souls, ten were chosen to be reborn as Monsters into the Higher World. A World much different than ours, filled with Demons, Devils, and Mythical Creatures. Ten Chosen Souls, Ten Chosen Candidates. For what they are Candidates, remains a mystery. "Weaklings shouldn't worry about such things." Indeed, only the strong can survive, which is why, for ten Candidates, ten Dungeons were built. Raise your strength, get used to how things operate in a World of Monsters, and perhaps you, then, will be worthy of the answers you seek. One of those Candidates had been given, in his previous life, the name Mark. But such a name doesn't mean much. After all, he is, in this Higher World, better known by his Titles. The Devourer & The Evolving Monster. -------------------------------- More info in the pinned review below!
'It's focusing on defense. Hasn't gone on the offensive since its first attack...'
The Guardian remained immobile.
'Screeching probably is its way of activating that Skill, just like the Beasts had to roar for their Wind Blast...'
Apart from two wounds from Mark's Dark Corrupting Spears, the Boss Monster hadn't been damaged.
But it hadn't inflicted damage either.
'Right after its next screech ends, go for the counter. Aim for that head.' Mark ordered.
The next second, a reddish Colossal Fire Ball was on its way towards the Guardian.
Screech-
Grey and the Fire Spirit shot their long-ranged attacks the instant the eyeless hawk went silent.
The Boss Monster bent its spine, dodging for the first time.
Mark thought its movements unnatural.
A body that wasn't made to move.
That's what it seemed like.
'Still unsure what other Skills it has... Or what those heads can do...'
