Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 48: Slowly Melting

The tail of the monster cut through the air, accompanied by the deadly inferno.

Both of them moved with staggering speed, targeting Lily.

"Oh no, you fucking don’t," Roran spat as he managed to twist his body at an unnatural angle to dodge the tail of the three-headed beast.

At the same time, he commanded three of his swords to stand between him and the deadly inferno, effectively creating a shield.

Roran took a step back, with Lily safely in his arms. He was trying to put some distance between himself and the beast.

Growling, the beast moved its three heads, glaring at Roran, unwilling to let him go.

But in doing so, it seemed to forget the enemy already within arm’s reach.

Zack, after missing his initial attack, dashed forward, closing the distance to mere inches from the beast, and slashed horizontally.

His sword tore through the monster’s tendons and muscles, making a shallow wound.

But that was enough.

Suddenly, the crimson blood of the monster began to slowly move in the direction of Zack’s sword, making his sword expand and grow larger.

Another ear-piercing roar echoed from the sky.

Luna, using her massive wings, flew even higher, making it easier to strike the giant bird.

Her dragon form was entirely made of bones, including her wings. Normally, she shouldn’t have been able to fly…

And yet, she did. Despite being weakened to the level of an Epic beast, she was a mythical creature at heart, meaning her will was enough to bend the laws of the world.

Opening her jaws again, the inside of her mouth shone, and a second later, another inferno was fired at the bird-like creature.

The beast responded with a roar of its own as it flapped its wings harder, increasing its speed even more.

Thanks to its bird-like body and giant structure, just a flap of its wings seemed to shake the nearby trees, as if they were about to be blown away by the sheer force.

Using its momentum, the beast passed through Luna’s flames, getting ready to attack with its beak.

Luna responded in kind, slashing forward, preparing to intercept the attack.

Most creatures would feel threatened seeing a giant dragon slashing with its massive claws, but the beast did not.

It seemed confident that its body, made of metallic feathers, would be able to withstand the attack.

The next second a large, tunning sound was heard as Luna’s attack connected with the beast, it seemed she wasn’t able to pierce its metallic body just yet.

The bird got closer and managed to strike the Luna’s skull—or more accurately, her eye.

It probably thought that piercing the eye of the dragon with its beak would effectively kill it, and it would have been correct in normal circumstances…

But it seemed that the beast had missed one little detail.

Luna would have smiled if she were in her human form.

’I am already dead, you fool!’ she thought to herself as she moved her claws, catching the bird that had its beak stuck in her eye.

After securing it in her claws, she moved her head and opened her jaws.

’You might be able to take my breath from afar…’

Suddenly, the body of the bird beast shuddered as it sensed the incoming danger.

’But what about an attack from close up?’

As the inferno attack left Luna’s mouth, it collided with the bird at close range. Perhaps its feathers would have held up in normal circumstances,

But Luna’s breath didn’t stop as she didn’t let up with her attack. It was like her mouth was an abyss, capable of firing an infinite amount of fire attacks at no cost at all.

Having to bear the attack for so long and at such close distance, the feathers of the bird beast slowly began to heat up.

First, their tips became a lighter shade of red,and then, slowly, the red became more intense as the heat spread throughout the base of the feathers.

They were slowly melting.

"What is the matter, Zaroth? You don’t look so well!" Eryndor spoke, having managed to free himself from Silverfang’s jaws.

He had taken a step back, placing both Zaroth and Silverfang in his line of sight.

His leg was broken, so his movements were limited, yet he smiled as he looked at Zaroth.

Despite looking like he wasn’t feeling anything, his face had become red, most likely due to the fatigue he was feeling.

’He must be using an absurd amount of mana to support the body of that dragon. He will soon run out, and then he’ll be left without a beast.’

Eryndor was already making plans to celebrate his victory until he shifted his gaze upward, and his eyes widened in horror.

His Epic beast had been caught in Zaroth’s dragon’s embrace and was currently being melted by its breath.

"Fuck, don’t you dare die!" Eryndor cursed as he sent a mental command to his three-headed beast.

The creature, as soon as it received the command, changed its movements, seemingly unbothered by the brutal assault on its body by Zack and Roran.

It grabbed the largest tree on the ground with its three mouths and tore it from the earth.

The next second, it threw the tree, targeting Luna.

Being hit from the side by a thrown tree wasn’t something that Luna had expected, so she accidentally let go of the beast she was holding.

She would have cursed under normal circumstances, but seeing the body of the bird beast, all she could feel was a smile… well, she would have if she were in her human form.

The bird beast had clearly distanced itself from her, as most of its feathers seemed to have melted all over its body, causing liquefied metal to spread across its form, no doubt filling the creature with pain.

Yet rather than showing any signs of pain, it locked eyes with Luna as its gaze seemed to shine with malice.

It looked like the bird creature had come up with a plan to defeat Luna.

Sensing that as a challenge, Luna thought mockingly, ’Let’s see what you got!’ as she fired another breath at the beast.

The bird beast took the flames, but rather than quickly getting out of them, it seemed to stay in position…

And then it turned, rotating its body dozens… hundreds of times in a second.

The action seemed to have moved the air enough to change the direction of the flames, and in the next moment, a giant tornado formed over the forest from the menacing green inferno of Luna.
