Demon beast part 3

"You! I thought I killed you!"

Gorb looked at me with a shocked face. "Wait you can't be him, his body is over there. You are his brother then?"

Don't know where he got that from and I really don't care. I give the root creatures around me a simple command in a calm collected tone "Kill him!"

The root creatures roar as they begin to charge towards him roaring at him. In response Gorb roars as his body turns to stone once again and his hands turn into drills. He runs towards the root creatures and the two sides collided. J could see several of the root creatures get flung into the air while some were pummeled into the ground.

As more of them attacked Gorb, more of them got destroyed. From what I could see they were doing nothing to him "Welp, since over running him in number didn't work then it's time for Plan B."

Plan B was supposed to be used if Plan A, over run him with numbers, didn't work. Plan B was basically "These dumb glowing hands are back! And in more number!" Yelled Gorb as he was getting stabbed by specter hands that were coming from the deltas.

There were fifty deltas and five alphas originally. But due to Gorb being strong and resilient to attackes, he was able to kill most of the deltas and two alphas. So we only had about thirty deltas and three alphas remaining.

So there basically sixty hands stabbing into him as well as three ghost humanoid beings attacking him. Of course just in case this wasn't enough to kill him I made more deltas.

"Gragh!"

Gorb roared as he ignored the pain and began to mow down my deltas once again. As he mowed down the deltas, the three alphas were walking towards me due to my commands. "I think it's time to make a new creature" I said as the three alphas and nearby roots and flowers began to merge together.

After a couple seconds the new creature I made was finished. It was as tall as a three story building, had four long arms with sharp claws at the tip, had two bulky legs, two tails to keep it balanced, and it had a head that almost looked like a gator but more smooth and less bulky. It also had a ton of flowers in its body.

"I'll call your kind Goliath" I said to my new creation. "Now to give you your skills and power you on."

[Host has given Goliath the following skills]

[Decay Beam, Soul eyes, Digestion, absorption, Mana absorption, and Reaping]

I gave the Goliath Reaping to see if whatever it killed with it, their souls would be given to me. If it doesn't, then the Goliath has a powerful skill.

"Ok your first task is to kill him" I say while pointing towards Gorb, as he just ripped a delta in half and threw it's corpse at two other deltas. Causing their bodies to break.

Listening to my commands the Goliath roared and began to slowly march towards Gorb. Every step it made caused the surface to shake.

***

Gorb, who was distracted at the moment, began to pick up another delta by piercing it with his drill hands. "Hahaha weak creatures are should only know to bow before the strong and grovel at our-" before he could finish his sentence he felt a hard impact to the left side of his body and could soon see the top parts of the nearby trees. He then realized that something just launched him into the air.

He soon crashed into to ground as quickly as he was launched into the air. It took Gorb a minute or so to get up, but he felt another impact on the right side of his body launching him towards a section of trees, destroying the trees in the process.

"Gah" Gorb said as he tried to get up, but felt really weak for some odd reason. He looked up and finally saw what hit him both times. He could see the Goliath slowly walking towards him. "Dang it" he said as he tried to get up, but for some reason couldn't. He looked to where his hands and feet were and could see several roots holding them down.

He knew instantly who was the one that did this to him. He looked around and finally saw the flower faced man that he was sure that he killed. "This ability is yours isn't it" Gorb said as he looked at the flower face man that was looking at him. The man looked away after hearing Gorbs response.

"I can't die now, I have to get stronger so I can sit on the throne of the Demom Lord" Gorb thought as he spinned his drill hand, trying to tear the roots off. The roots snapped and he quickley moved his drill hand towards the roots that entangled his feet.

The roots that were restricting his feet were now gone and he soon got up. Before he could celebrate he was soon hit by the Goliaths hit launching him up into the air once more. "Damn it I guess I have to use that abi-" he was soon hit by a gray beam that interrupted his train of thought.

The beam pushed him up higher into the sky. Before he could do react to the situation several roots grabbed onto his leg and quickly dragged him back down to the surface. Upon impact with the surface a loud boom was heard followed by a big puff of dirt rising to the air.

Once the smoke cleared Gorb could be seen in the middle of a small crater. One of his arms is seen to be broke off while he lost half his face. This is due to his body now being made of stone.

"Gasp*" Gorb tried to take as much air in as he could. After the big take of air he discovered something that he couldn't believe in his entire life "I'll die if I keep fighting this thing."

He looked and soon saw the Goliath walking towards him menacingly. The Goliath then got on all six and was soon charging towards him at a rapid speed. The sight of something that big heading towards him so quickly made his heart skip a beat.

Gorb tried to get up as last time roots were keeping him down. He tried to drill the roots only to realize that he lost one arm and his other drill was broken. He look at the Goliath charging st him with fear in his eyes. The Goliath opened up its mouth and slammed it shut onto Gorb sealing his fate.

[The host has gained 10 souls]

"So I do get souls when my Root creatures use [Reaping] on an enemy creature and kill it. Maybe I should give them all [Reaping]."

I look back at Gorbs dead body and see just a bunch of stones pebbles where he once was at. I look at his remains and suddenly remember my first death.

"You fought well, but not well enough" I then walk towards the camp site and absorb all my Root creatures mana to boost my bodies mana. As I make my way back to the camp I look at my stats to see any changes in my skills and stats.
