Amon, The Legendary Overlord
chapter-256

As Mabel and the others fled hastily, Amon also set himself in motion, following the same path.

Along the way, he created lightning traps, generating explosions that dug small craters in the ground upon detonation. Amon believed that, at least initially, these traps would be able to delay the monstrous creature.

Suddenly, a scream that more closely resembled a wild roar echoed behind them.

"I will kill you!!"

The words chilled the girls' blood. This time, they had a clear feeling that Amon had managed to deeply enrage the centipede aberration. A sense of imminent danger settled among them, making their escape even more desperate.

"Quick, we can't let this creature catch up to us!" Mabel exclaimed, urgency evident in her voice.

"Yes, let's go!" Barbara, seeing Amon join them on the flight, felt a bit more calm and secure.

However, even Ariel and the other girls understood that Amon must have expended an immense amount of energy to execute an attack of that magnitude, which was capable of altering the geographical landscape and incensing the colossal beast chasing them. They realized that, despite the momentary sense of security, the situation was still extremely delicate.

But, to everyone's surprise, Zingringa was not only fine but also showed joy at seeing them all cooperate using their genetic powers to open the way, in an attempt to flee from him.

Seeing Ariel and Mabel using psychic powers, Zingringa's eyes shone with greed. Until then, he was determined to prevent them from escaping in any way, creating dome-shaped wind barriers around them - although smaller, they were extremely resistant.

"Nobody will escape," Zingringa threatened, his gaze alternating between Ariel and Mabel. "Especially you two, with your psychic lineages." He paused, perhaps on purpose, perhaps not, and then burst out laughing in a sinister and uncontrolled manner. "Keke-ahahaha, what wonderful luck I have. Two, not just one, but two psychic lineages! What a splendid day!"

Surprised, Ariel even pointed to herself, but Mabel seemed to have anticipated this...

Mabel bit her lower lip, seeming to make a difficult decision. However, before she could say anything, Amon was the first to act again.

Without hesitation, Amon took out a serum vial containing a dark green liquid and injected it into his own arm. The moment the liquid penetrated his veins, his power began to increase frighteningly.

"What did he do!?" Barbara exclaimed alarmingly, unable to process Amon's impulsive act as something normal.

Mabel, on the other hand, seemed to recognize the serum fluid, expressing surprise in her gaze. "Damn, that's a power booster, a drug that amplifies the user's abilities for a short period," she explained, her face taking on a serious expression. "But it has an extremely severe side effect!"

Green veins began to emerge on Amon's skin, the potent reaction of the serum was intense even for him. Amon resisted the overwhelming agony as the serum took effect, amplifying his power, but inflicting extreme pain in the process. Still, despite the pain, Amon showed no sign of discomfort.

"Oh?" Zingringa expressed initial surprise but quickly gave way to an intrigued smile. It didn't seem that he felt threatened, even in the face of Amon's dramatic change.

Amon, for his part, had undergone a drastic transformation. His current appearance exuded an almost diabolical aura.

When he locked eyes with Zingringa, Amon's pupils already boasted the distinctive subtraction sign. He emanated an intimidating atmosphere, so palpable it seemed almost tangible.

Locking eyes with Amon, Zingringa experienced a peculiar unease, an inexplicable fear. It was hard to believe, as, despite not feeling directly threatened, he couldn't discern the origin of this sense of dread when facing Amon's eyes.

Shaking his head, Zingringa tried to dispel the uncomfortable sensation that invaded him. It felt as if he was trapped in an illusion that made him fear Amon's gaze.

On the other hand, Amon didn't waste time. He summoned an electrical storm in the sky, causing thunderous rumbles that reverberated throughout the space. A curtain of lightning danced in the sky like a chaotic ballet, illuminating the panorama with bright flashes of blue and white light, and the atmosphere vibrated with electrical energy, becoming a spectacle of power and breathtaking beauty.

Coming to his senses, Zingringa only now realized what Amon was doing, and fury overcame him. The lightning was becoming more powerful thanks to the wind he himself had created. This outraged him and he tried to regain control of the wind, but soon found he had already lost authority over the element.

"But what!?" The shock was evident in his expression. After all, how could someone who is only at level 2 of the innate rank control his mutant rank wind?

The whole situation was abnormally bizarre. He felt that Amon was becoming an enigma, a box of surprises, from which he couldn't predict what kind of awe would be revealed next.

Fury Armor, which currently became merged when he advanced to level 2, he used along with Fury Manifestation, and the passive Frantic Fury was activated.

[Frantic Fury] (Upgraded) - This power is activated when the user is attacked, unleashing an overwhelming psychic effect that disturbs the enemy's mind. The mental disturbance can range from simple distractions, such as blurred visions and buzzing sounds, to more intense effects, like hallucinations and intense mental confusion. The degree of disturbance increases proportionally to the intensity of the user's "Fury": the greater the user's anger and fighting fervor, the more devastating the negative effect on the opponent's mind. "Frantic Fury" not only provides an effective defense but also creates an opportunity for the user to counterattack while the enemy is disoriented.

[Fury Manifestation] (Upgraded) - This ability allows the user to materialize their own "Fury" in the form of an ethereal scythe, which carries a devastating damage potential. The "Fury" is condensed and transformed into pure energy, giving shape to the weapon. The greater the "Fury" channeled into the creation of the scythe, the greater the damage it can inflict. The scythe has an intense and pulsating glow, a direct reflection of the intensity of the user's "Fury".

When combined with the [Frantic Fury] ability, "Fury Manifestation" gains an additional layer of strategy and power. Each attack delivered with the scythe not only causes physical damage but also triggers the disruptive effect of "Frantic Fury", making the enemy mentally disoriented. This combination creates a perfect synergy between attack and defense, allowing the user to deliver powerful strikes while leaving the opponent in a state of mental confusion.

Amon clearly didn't expect the passive to activate, however, seeing that the bizarre beast's mind was becoming disturbed, Amon quickly calculated and used this spell that perfectly combined with this passive.
