With a boom!
The rock-hard crab shell was instantly covered in dense cracks, like a shattered spider web, with fresh crab meat faintly visible through the fissures.
The heavy impact was unstoppable, its momentum undiminished, directly piercing through the Heavy Crab's mountain-like body!
The astonishing force passed through the Heavy Crab's body and slammed heavily onto the rock beneath it!
In the blink of an eye!
The rock was gouged into a huge and deep crater, with gravel splashing at the edges!
"yaaaaa—"
The Heavy Crab raised its head and let out a shrill, long howl, the sound sharp and full of pain, like a sharp blade stabbing directly into the eardrums.
Asuna Yuuki and Hitagi Senjougahara felt a wave of intense stinging pain, as if their eardrums would be torn apart at any moment by this shriek.
Following that.
The starlight fire on Lynn's foot was like a bone-eating poison, instantly spreading to every corner of the Heavy Crab's massive body!
"Roar—"
The Heavy Crab roared, its body beginning to writhe in pain!
The entire underground cave began to shake frantically, as if it were about to collapse in the next second!
Seeing this, Lynn directly increased the dosage!
Whoosh!!
The sound of flames rising suddenly rang out!
A pillar of fire shimmering with starlight shot straight up into the sky!
The stalactites overhead could not withstand the scorching high heat and melted instantly!
Soon, a skylight opened up!
The dim, yellow sunlight immediately poured down through the skylight!
A few seconds later.
The screeching of the Heavy Crab gradually subsided, and its massive body stopped struggling.
Seeing this, Lynn spoke up: "Luna."
"Coming, coming!"
As the words fell, the phantom of a little loli with long, light blue hair like a jellyfish landed on Lynn's shoulder.
She gently pushed off with her hands, then floated above the head of the Heavy Crab and raised her hands.
Hum—
Like a mysterious movement played by the universe, a dazzling star map slowly unfolded in her palms.
On the star map, stars twinkled, seemingly containing endless mysteries and power.
The next second!
The center of the star map began to twist, as if space were being torn apart, and a deep black hole slowly formed.
A powerful gravitational force emanated from the black hole, slowly sucking the massive Heavy Crab before them into it.
"Ugh..."
After successfully devouring the Heavy Crab, Luna couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
She clearly felt that her essence seemed to have undergone some subtle and profound changes.
At the same time, the system's voice rang in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! Your Zodiac Pilgrimage has undergone a subtle change!]
Lynn raised an eyebrow and opened the [Zodiac Pilgrimage] skill.
He glanced at it, then looked at the Crab.
[Crab Pivot]
Summon stardust to form a cocoon-like barrier, healing internal injuries.Power of the Heavy Crab(obtained the concept of 'Weight')
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Did the Crab gain the power of the Heavy Crab after devouring it...?
"Could it be..."
"Can the Zodiac Pilgrimage evolve by devouring things related to its concepts?"
The change in the Crab made Lynn feel a bit concerned.
Furthermore...
Lynn's consciousness entered the space of the [demon chess pieces].
Then, he felt his body sink.
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
"The space of the [demon chess pieces] has weight?"
Is this the effect of obtaining the concept of 'Weight'?
However...
Lynn looked up, gazing at that faint crimson color before the starry sky.
"Just like the concept of the'Sun', the weight isn't enough..."
Lynn was lost in thought.
The weight of the universe?
Could it be that he would have to collect the concepts of the four fundamental forces of the universe in the future?
Hiss—
Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but gasp.
[demon chess pieces], what on earth are you trying to do!
From the moment this space was conceived, Lynn felt that the [demon chess pieces] skill was a bit wrong.
The chess pieces for his kin were acceptable.
But...
now there's the zodiac, the sun, and weight.
Is this something that a [demon chess pieces] skill should be doing?
Just as Lynn couldn't help but speculate, Luna also returned to the space of the [demon chess pieces].
"Master."
Lynn came back to his senses, then looked at Luna and asked: "How do you feel?"
Luna smiled slightly, then raised her arms and said happily: "Better than ever!"
"And I think I've gained an extra ability to control gravity!"
Luna waved her hand in the direction of her star palace.
But...
nothing happened.
Luna: "..."
She pouted and muttered: "It seems useless..."
Lynn chuckled and rubbed her head, comforting her: "It might be because this space is quite special."
After comforting Luna for a bit and lingering in the [demon chess pieces] space for a while longer, Lynn withdrew.
What came into view was the devastated underground cave.
"Dead, it's dead?"
Asuna Yuuki stared at Lynn's figure, her eyes dazed, still feeling a bit unreal.
Everything ended too quickly, even giving her the illusion that it had just been a hallucination.
But...
that Heavy Crab, which was full of oppression and caused the ground to shake just by moving its feet, had truly existed!
Just standing there had already made her feel weak and powerless all over.
Yet...
this terrifying creature was actually easily... solved by Lynn with a single kick!
Gulp!
Asuna Yuuki swallowed her saliva, her gaze towards Lynn filled with awe.
Like a god!
That was the only feeling in her heart!
At the same time, Asuna Yuuki also felt a bit embarrassed, finding her previous thought of wanting Lynn to use teleportation magic to run away ridiculous.
"Is this what a demon is..."
Hitagi Senjougahara murmured.
