Chapter 1222: Chapter 102: Godslayer, Double Kill! Racing Against Time

Polar Glacier.

In the vast icefield, accompanied by the mournful cry of a large horned deer, a monstrous humanoid beast appeared in the blizzard.

It had a form similar to a Beastman, with blood-stained claws and sharp fangs biting into the neck of its prey. After quenching its thirst with the prey’s blood, the monstrous beast slowly lifted its head, gazing into the Barbarian tribe in the distance.

Another Essence Totem hunted.

After the end of the Saint’s Calamity, Mara’s power was weakened by the ever-growing Lord of Storms, so it had to seek other ways to enhance itself. It first hunted several with Divine-like Power, then killed the God of Crocodiles from the Muerholland Pantheon, shortly thereafter Mara entered the Northern Icefield, eagerly hunting for those Essences with a Divine essence.

Through this series of killings, Mara’s worship was greatly enhanced, and it also gained more worshippers among divine-like beings.

But Mara forgot one thing, too many Essences hunted means they would retaliate.

Mara represents the primitive wildness of nature, its evil side, and its existence is purely for hunting. In Mara’s church, there is a ritual known as ’Noble Hunt’, where the targets are more powerful humans.

In Mara’s eyes, there is no right or wrong, only the primitive jungle law.

Survival of the fittest.

The weak Essence, Mara strong, thus Essence is food.

A wisp of faint bloody Divinity was absorbed by Mara, who easily devoured the remnants of its essence within, extinguishing the small consciousness of the Essence with its primal wildness.

But it wasn’t delicious, nor satisfying.

The time Mara feasted most was when it hunted the God of Crocodiles and the Bear God. The powerful Demigod Power provided Mara with a bountiful meal that restored much of the weakened Divinity.

This Black Blood Beast replaced the face of the Essence Totem, even if just a little worship empowerment, it wouldn’t let go.

The Lord of Storms, Taros, weakened its power.

The reason is unknown.

Even if stripped of a small part of Divinity, Mara doesn’t understand what the Lord of Storms intends to do. The Fury Pantheon is almost entirely dictated by the Lord of Storms, and due to his frequent actions lately, even the evil Ocean Goddess is slightly dissatisfied.

Mara knows only a little, that the Lord of Storms, Taros, might want to ascend a Divine Spirit.

This will happen soon.

Because he has chosen a powerful Mortal, an Undead Creature, Witch Demon.

The Lord of Storms wants to elevate a Mortal to a god, but is unwilling to sacrifice his own power, so he draws a bit of divine essence from the Divine Spirit serving him. Mara is the unlucky one, and although not much was taken, it triggered a chain reaction, prompting Mara to continuously hunt other Divine-like Powers.

Blood transfusion, of course, means drawing from subordinates.

"Hunt another one..."

Mara’s gaze turned to the Polar Glacier, though it actually intended to hunt the Prairie Essence on the Tukan’s territory. However, the enemy there was a bit too powerful, Mara feared alarming the strongest Prairie Spirit.

But as Mara attempted to find the next hunting target.

Suddenly.

It felt an intense sense of crisis, followed by the flickering blood-colored Spiritual Light all around, the power of the Essence, their retaliation had arrived.

"Bringing new prey to me again?" Mara’s lips curved with a bloodthirsty smile.

Essences haven’t gone without resistance.

But they were all killed.

With Weak Divine Power against the collective consciousness of the Totem Essences, Mara’s odds were great, even overwhelming.

"Come on."

"Let me see what prey has come?"

Mara’s figure slowly stood up, transforming into the form of a hunting master. It possessed the domain of hunting, no prey could escape its pursuit in the wilderness, whenever Essence Totems chose revenge, they basically never returned.

But this time, it seemed a little different.

As Mara lifted its head to stare into the distance, its scarlet pupils suddenly contracted. It saw the enemy, not the Essence, not the Totem Spirit, nor a powerful Barbarian leader, but a valiant human standing in the storm, his gaze icy cold, eyes full of murderous intent fixated on this Black Blood Beast.

Human!

Ascender!

Why would the Essence summon a human to avenge itself?

Mara had no time to ponder further because it felt a massive threat, even the surrounding space was sealed for an instant. It was the law of the natural domain, and amidst the swirling snow, a majestic unicorn appeared within Mara’s sight.

One of the most desired prey.

——Unicorn Goddess - Lari (Demigod Power) (Seven-Star Gold)!

Why?

Why would the Unicorn Goddess let a seemingly ordinary Mortal ride her?

Isn’t she exclusively the mount of the Forest Goddess Melikai?

Clang.

A heavy lance appeared in that human’s hand. In the next moment, the Unicorn Goddess’s figure transformed into a stream of light, her eyes filled with exhilaration and hatred, showcasing unimaginable speed that even tore through the fierce winds, dispersing the dark clouds, forming a terrifying sonic boom.

Face the gale!

The stronger the Unicorn Goddess Lari’s hatred, the faster she galloped. The unicorns of the Material Plane were mostly killed by Mara and its church, causing Lari’s hatred to reach the bones.

——Lance Charge!

Dodge?
