Chapter 569: Beau’s monsters
Beau faced six 8-star monsters with nothing but her frilly pink dress and her Mithril Relic Cleaver knife.
One of the Elephant-monsters with spiraling tusks charged towards her.
But instead of running away, she faced the attack with just a simple slice from her weapon.
Such a small gesture should have been useless against a behemoth like this monster.
However, above Beau was her Frankenstien Chef Diva, who was moving the knife and the flat pan around as if it was mimicking a real chef.
As Beau’s knife met with the Elephant monster’s tusks, her knife easily sliced through the bone as if it was butter.
The slice continued to penetrate through the tusk and towards the very Elephant itself.
The durability and defense of an 8-star monster was nothing when faced against an Aubility.
Beau’s knife sliced through the elephant horizontally, separating its legs from its body.
But strangely enough, the monster didn’t die nor did it look injured. That wasn’t her goal after all.
She simply needed a way to get inside.
She tapped her knife to her own chest, taking out a piece of visible Light mana from her own ’soul’ and flicking it towards the slit on the elephant’s body.
As soon as the mote of mana entered the elephant’s body, a huge change occurred within the beast.
Its eyes trembled, forcing the monster to blink. And once it opened its eyes, it had suddenly transformed into a piece of frosting!
More and more parts of the elephant’s body continued to morph and change shape, becoming a crude stitching of different pastries and foods. It had become like the Frankenstien Chef Diva!
She had turned the 8-star monster into her own creation, giving her full control over it!
And this wasn’t the only one. The other five monsters were already turning into monsters made out of bread, cream, and sugar.
This was how she got her army in the first place! She used the beasts and monsters inhabiting the Pocket Dimension and used their bodies to create constructs under her control. And it looked like this time, she was going to get the strongest monsters on her side.
A total of six 8-star monsters became completely subservient to Beau.
"I would have had more constructs, but I didn’t expect you to kill all five of them before I could get them under my control," Beau said to Michael, as the Elephant monster used its trunks to get her on top of it.
Now I see why everyone considers her as the strongest Rising Six. She’s practically unbeatable.
He used his [Unity Gun] to shoot at the Elephant monster’s head since it was the slowest. But even so, it ducked under his shot and charged at him with tusks made out of frosting.
He reached down his pockets, taking out an iron switch and placing it squarely on his palms.
At this point, Beau knew about his switch. So, speed was the only way he was going to hit the monster.
He conjured up a magic circle and created a spell unlike anyone had ever seen before.
A solid earth chunk manifested in the air, which suddenly burst into flames as he injected Fire mana into it.
The chunk immediately glowed red hot as it got heated up into a thousand degrees celsius. Eventually, it turned into a malleable liquid material which got telepathically molded into the shape and mechanics of something he saw from his previous life.
The liquid morphed into an open cylindrical shell with the same diameter as his switch.
Anyone from Earth would immediately recognize it as a weapon meant for wars.
It was a cannon!
He loaded up one of the switches onto the barrel and injected it with the four basic mana elements, Lightning, Poison, Dark, and Light. The combination created a miniature explosion that launched the switch towards the Elephant monster.
Its speed was a surprise for all people, including Beau, so it successfully attached itself towards the monster’s head.
The 8-star beast stopped in place for a moment, giving Michael a chance to escape from its charge.
He teleported out and charged up his [Unity Gun], pointing it at its body.
However, just a millisecond later, the switch popped out of the elephant’s forehead and fell to the ground.
His switch could only stop it by a very brief instance!
Damn... that’s the difference between 4th stage and 6th stage.
Because those beasts were now under Beau’s control, they were imbued with her own Aubility.
And despite his unusually strong Diva power, there was a limit as to who he could defeat.
But even though he was disappointed with the results, Beau couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she saw her control over the monster stop for a brief moment.
"How...? He’s just in the 4th stage of Body Formation!"
His Aubility shouldn’t even work on her. Period. Yet it did. It was only for a few milliseconds, but it still overpowered it regardless.
She was forced to consider Michael with a lot more cautiousness than before.
She raised her Cleaver Knife in the air and commanded all six 8-star monsters to bombard Michae with their strongest attacks.
A sense of foreboding caused her to hurry. She wanted to defeat Michael before something bad happened.
...
The monsters attacked Michael with coordination and synchronization, making them a lot more dangerous than the other beasts he encountered.
With Beau at the helm, they strategically hunted Michael down and gave him no chance to escape.
As soon as he tried to teleport out with his shadow ability, there would be a Panther monster lurking in the forest ready to strike at him whenever he reappeared.
Even his Drone was getting hunted. The Colossal Wasp monster used its giant stingers made out of frosting to hunt the Drone and prevent it from using its [Unity Gun].
And since he was controlling the Drone manually with his Supreme Talent, he had to balance his own well-being with his Drone’s at the same time.
This can’t go on any longer, he thought as he conjured a lava wall to separate himself from the Elephant monster’s tusks.
If I want to defeat Beau, I need to isolate her from her constructs.
The best way to do that was to kill them. Unfortunately, his [Unity Gun] was not meant for an area of effect. Meanwhile, his grenade was still on cooldown.
And no matter how many switches he threw at them, they only stopped for a millisecond at most.
His Aubilities were useless against someone stronger than him.
But at this moment, an idea popped into his head.
What if I use my switches on me? ChatJK4, is it possible?
[Your idea has merit. Would you like me to formulate a plan on how to best use it to isolate Beau?]
He didn’t even have to reply as ChatJK4 laid out an extensive plan in his mind. He just had to follow them to the tee.
First, he raised his hand and used his [Unity Gun].
A bright blinding light appeared on the tip of his fingers, alerting Beau and her monsters about his impending attack.
They quickly went on the defensive, putting some distance away from him.
But as the [Unity Gun] reached its peak and shot off, the light suddenly died down, with no white beam coming out of his finger.
Everyone thought he missed or he made an error.
But unbeknownst to them, his target wasn’t Beau or her beast. It was a switch!
