Omega Summoner

Chapter 441: Chaotic Body

The body that was reformed due to a potion finally started to break down. Adrian knew that it would be the case even if Cristobal used the ultimate binding agent which is the blood of an Asmodian. Cristobal or rather the entity inhabiting Cristobalʼs body might have succeeded if he opted to become a mutant rather than a perfect Asmodian.

The reason for the body breaking down is simple. The reason being the blood of an Asmodian is perfect as they are the first creatures. Only fellow Asmodians or descendants of Asmodians could ingest said blood to become a version of the perfect being.

Adrian always asks Jianna about alchemy whenever he buys potions from her. Adrian curiously asked what would happen if Asmodian blood is mixed with ingredient. Jiannaʼs answer was it could either become the greatest potion that could revive the dead or the greatest poison that leads to death.

Based on some of the papers left regarding Asmodian blood, it was a volatile yet powerful binding agent. The only problem was that only similar transcendent tier materials could be used to craft a potion with it. She also stated that no Asmodian descendant will waste the blood on a potion and would rather ingest it.

Jianna stated that Asmodian blood is much more precious towards Asmodian descendants. It is important because the blood sometime contain information or knowledge. It was also a custom of Asmodians back then to put some of their blood on vials to pass their knowledge to newly born descendants.

Ascalor told him that Asmodians cannot reproduce normally as there are only first generation Asmodians. They had no will to carry on their genetic codes all the time as they are timeless. They only started to care when the five races were born through their own efforts without aid of the gods.

From the start, Adrian knew that Cristobal would not really become an Asmodian through this method. There are some things that only you could get by being born and this is one o them. Still, Adrian is wary because that does not mean Cristobal or whatever entity is before them will die.

”What would happen if the greatest poison does not kill the person who drank it because of their strong will to live?” Adrian asked Jianna once as he was curious at the time.

”Individuals with strong will to live would of course use every fiber of their being to deny death. That goes without saying they will transform into something horrifying like a freak of nature.” Jianna replied.

”Are variant species freaks of nature?” Adrian asked but it was the person behind him who answered.

”Mutants are not freaks of nature but natureʼs hiccup. Think of them as a wonderful surprise gift. But if you defy nature then it will let go of your blessing and turn you into an abomination.” Pann explained as he gave Jianna a bag of manure for growing her herbs.

”He is turning like his experiments…an abomination.” Adrian uttered as everyone got ready to fight.

They are not getting close to the bloody mess that is Cristobal because he is creating multiple pockets of compressed gravity around him. Not only was his body deteriorating but his powers were also running amok. The raid party did not want to risk attacking and get caught up in one of the stray attacks.

”What should we do?” Alder asked Anastacia as she was calmly observing the situation.

”We cannot carelessly charge as it is dangerous. The only thing that we can do is try long range attacks.” Anastacia stated as she found it to be the best course of action.

Every range attack that they could do is used. They only used skills that have short cooldowns to test the water. About 20% of the attacks hit but the remaining 80% failed. It seems the compressed gravity is redirecting and destroying some of the incoming attacks. Still, those who can do it often resorted to this method despite the low damage.

”Ah! What is happening!?” The entity possessing Cristobal screamed.

Cristobalʼs body no longer bore its perfect humanoid appearance. The body is now a mas of wriggling bone, flesh and muscle that no longer bear any resemblance to being human. The mouth that the entity used to speak emits cries while its whole body is deforming and reforming at a rapid pace.

”This cannot happen! I am a god!” The entity stated as it experiences excruciating pain.

The will to live for a god is much greater than a normal human because gods could not be easily killed. They are not easily killed just because they are gods but due to the fact, they can leave remnants of their will.  As long as a foolish individual that has so strong sense of self touches it then gods are basically immortal in a sense.

The entity that possessed Cristobal has this strong will which made it fight the looming shadow of death. It was now turning itself into an abomination. The aura of the dark god infesting Cristobal is not the reason why the potion failed but it is his constitution.

The bones, flesh and muscle that were wriggling bout suddenly started to form itself into a shape resembling a humanoid. The only difference is that the humanoid appearance also started to become monstrous.

The first to form is the lower body with the feet of a werewolf. The next part to form is the torso where it looked like it came from a stone Jotunn. The next body part is the wings that sprouted as it is wings on an imp. The head started to form as well as three horns could be seen growing from it.

The face that formed is that of a tiger beastkin with giant fangs. The arms of the abomination also formed after the horns. The arms are two thick bundles of large vines that could easily crush rock. The abomination that was formerly Cristobal looked hideous. The name even describes it for itself. The individual in front of them is no longer an NPC but labeled as a monster.
