Chapter 81 A King-Tier Beast
In the next moment, my eyes flash with golden lights, and I start to see things that I have never seen before. I can see things that mere mortals can't and even things that the supernaturals cannot see, despite their heightened senses, nothing can hide from these eyes, the 'God's eyes'.
I'll take revenge for my woman and make whatever attacked us suffer a thousand times more.
Using my eyes to scan the area, my eyes suddenly spot the origin of the attack.
There you are….huh~
A frown forms on my face the moment I see the cause of our problem. It is a mere beast.
★[Inspect]

So you are the one who hurt my woman huh?
My anger surges again as I inspect this beast.
In the next moment, I deactivate God's eyes and wear the black gauntlet inside my space ring.
The moment I wear this gauntlet, I start to feel a lot of power surging throughout my body.
This is the power of an emperor-tier beast.
"Husband! Come back here!!" Abby yells the moment she sees me wearing the gauntlet. Her hands are bloody from wielding the sword for so long and her movements are rapidly getting sluggish.
Losing concentration again, a vine slashes her on her chest region, tearing through her robe and bra and grazing her breast.
Fuck!....Not the breast man…
This time, I dash forward in pure rage and throw my fist into the air, using all the strength I can muster.
"Shadow punch!" I shout in rage.
In a flash, my fist suddenly teleports and lands on the body of the beast where it's currently disguised.
*BANG!*
A loud sound echoes throughout the area my fist lands on the beast, sending it a few meters away from me.
Now, all the rest of my teammates are already free and they seem to be looking at me with their mouths hanging open.
Even Abby is looking at me in surprise, like she can't wrap her head around what just happened.
"Just how strong and how much cool stuff does Vincent have?" Russell mutters in admiration as he has no idea how the gauntlet came to be.
The only person who knows the origin of this gauntlet is Abby, and she seems to be regretting her previous assumption about its powers.
Right then, the beast seems to gain its momentum as it stands up again and looks at me with an expression of disbelief on its face like it was completely stunned by the attack.
Currently, the beast is in its humanoid form which is made out of vines. It has large dark eyes and rotting plants on its head which look like hair.
This beast looks like it is about to take the shape of someone amongst us, as it carefully shape shifts and gives itself the appearance of Kurt who's body is like that of a bodybuilder.
"GRRRRRRRR!!!!!"
The beast suddenly lets out a deafening roar. If it runs off, I will have to leave it, but for some reason, it looks like it's guarding the sacred Lotus.
"So it was the one that roared that time huh?" Russell mutters.
Suddenly, the beast starts to charge toward me, launching five sharp vines at me at an alarming speed.
"Watch out, Vincent!!" Abby suddenly warns me.
I would have had only two active skills left on this gauntlet, but fortunately for me… the third skill, shadow punch, has cooled down after one minute, leaving me with three active skills again.
With the vines moving towards me, I activate shadow punch again.
*BOOM!!*
My punch teleports again and destroys all the vines. The beast looks at me, slightly frustrated, but it suddenly has a mocking expression on its face.
In the next moment, it starts to intertwine a bunch of vines into forming something that looks like a missile vine.
Fuck!.....this stupid beast….
Although I still have two active skills, I can't use them because I will have to go near the beast to use mana drain which could also drain its life force.
And as for the third active skill, I don't even know what it does….dammit.
In a flash, I start to dash toward the beast in order to close the distance between us…however, it's too late.
The beast launches the missile-like vine at me which is coming toward me at an alarming speed, at the same time it also sends tons of sharp vines after the huge vine missile.
Fuck!...The beast doesn't want to engage in close combat.
"Fireball!" I mutter.
Suddenly, a burst of fire erupts from my palm, I increase the size of the fireball, making it two times larger than a soccer ball, and then I toss it at the incoming vine.
[-10 mana points]
[Remaining 10 mana points]
*BOOM!*
The vine explodes upon making contact with the fireball. At the same time, I deflect the rest of the vines by simply punching them away with the sheer strength I got from the gauntlet.
The beast looks defeated right now like it has given up hope but it still doesn't make a run for it.
Wasting no time after my shadow punch skill cools down, I throw my fist into the air very hard again and teleport it to the beast.
However, to my surprise as if the beast knows where I am going to teleport the punch, it suddenly evades it.
Fuck!....
The next moment, without letting the beast gain its momentum, I charge forward.
In a flash, I appear in front of the beast and slam my fist into its chest.
*BANG!*
The beast also retaliates…..by punching me in my chest too. The blow was so fast that I didn't even notice until the pain seared through me.
*BOOM*
Both of us are sent flying in opposite directions the moment we land a hit on each other, then we crash into some plants and a tree.
Right now, I feel as if my rib cage has been crushed and my lungs have been pierced the moment my back hits a large tree.
"GAH!!" Black blood spurts out of my mouth the moment my back hits the tree.
[-15 Hp]
[15/30 Hp]
[Your lungs and rib cage have been damaged. You have sustained a fatal injury…]
[Regeneration Activated]
[-10 mana points]
[You have no mana left. Fuck some holes to recover your mana]
[Your hp has increased]
[25/30 hp]
Fuck…
I curse out the moment I see this notification. If I didn't have regenerative abilities, I would have probably died by now.
In a flash, an unbearable pain suddenly overwhelms me when my lungs and rib cage start to repair themselves, but it is not enough because of my low mana points.
I want to take some elixirs right now so I can finally heal my wounds but the beast starts walking toward me and then forms its hand into a sharp vine that is ready to cut anything in its path.
There is only one option left for me, but it's a gamble.
I glance at the gauntlet and take a deep breath.
"Soul intent!" I mutter.
