Chapter 1102 A Bite To Die For.
The fountain of life repeated what it did earlier since it worked so well. It swooped down to grab Ragnarok.
Ragnarok welcomed the attack in the same way. He grabbed the claws and pulled the fountain of life to the ground. Then he bit the thick thigh of the fountain of life instead of trying to drag it down.
He opened his jaws which were lined with black teeth. The red runes on the teeth glowed brightly for a brief moment before he clamped his jaws shut on the fountain of life. His teeth sank deep past the thick metal-like defensive scales. They broke like fragile glass under the force of his bite.
He tasted the sweet flesh beneath the scales. Then he swallowed. The devouring ability of his concept was activated within his mouth. A loud roar came from the fountain of life in response to the bite.
The fountain of life had also bit into him. But it is not in the mood to use its dragon fire like it did last time. All it wants is to get away from Ragnarok immediately. It tried to push him and clawed at him to push him off. But Ragnarok held on tightly as he devoured the life essence of the fountain of life.
He brought up his tail to help him in this endeavor. The ten of them latched onto the fountain of life tightly. They acted like tentacles that he used to keep his hold on the fountain of life.
The fountain of life roared again in anguish.it demanded with a shout, "Let me go."
Ragnarok offered in good spirits, "I think my Dragon friend will be very strong."
He truly thinks the dragon clone will be strong. He is not just saying that to distract the fountain of life.
The fountain of life roared again, "Let me go you rabid mutt."
Ragnarok advised, "Don't be so reckless or I might tear your thigh away. We wouldn't want that now would we?"
He is sincere with that advice. Tearing away the thigh of the dragon will tear away a part of the consciousness of the fountain of life and injure it severely. The fountain of life shouldn't want that. Even if it does, Ragnarok doesn't want that to happen because he needs the thigh that he is biting to remain a part of the fountain of life so that he can continue siphoning the life of the dragon.
The fountain of life didn't listen to his advice. It struggled in his deadly embrace with all of its might. The two of them fell to the ground in this struggle.
His ten tails are powerful but they couldn't get past the defense of the scales of the divine body. So he just used them to hang onto the fountain of life. Meanwhile, he continued to feast on the body, soul, consciousness, memories, and even the concept of the fountain of life.
It is a very painful experience to have the essence of your existence leak out of you uncontrollably. It is almost as if the fountain of life is bleeding which is something that titans of law don't do. Even transcendents don't bleed. Not unless a vampire bites them of course. Then they will be made to bleed.
Some have said that a vampire's bite is pleasurable. But this is nowhere pleasurable. There's no way that Ragnarok can mask the pain of feeling one's existence actively broken down and siphoned. It is not a wonder why the fountain of life is willing to pay the price of a thigh and the massive injury the loss of the thigh will cause to it just to get away from Ragnarok.
Ragnarok wouldn't even bother to mask the pain if he could. He is not a Vampire. He won't make his prey feel good. He is better than them. Even Vampires are his prey. He has devoured too many of them. Instead of trying to make the experience pleasurable or just mildly painful, he chose to maximize the devouring power of his jaws.
The fountain of life roared. It opened its jaws and ejected its dragon fire at him in desperation. A torrent of white flames poured out of its jaws onto him. The fire didn't burn him physically. It targeted his own life force and began burning it.
The defense of the bone armor didn't block the white flames at all. The white flames got into his body and used his life force to fuel and grow itself. Soon his entire black and reddish body was covered in the white flames.
It is painful. But he doesn't care. His life force is being replenished faster than it is depleted. He has numerous sources of life force to dip in. First is the world that he devouring even now. Next is the origin energy from Legion-1's inner world. Then there is the divine life energy from the tree father.
But he hasn't needed those yet. He gets more than enough from the fountain of life to heal faster than he is being damaged. So the fountain of life is just burning the life essence that he stole.
It made him complain, "Some people don't have the good sense not to waste things."
The fountain of life didn't defend itself. It even increased the intensity of the dragon fire. The two of them tussled over the earth. They rolled about and crushed mountains. They remade the landscape into a total mess.
Their fight was not without interference. Ghouls swarmed them as they fought. They tried to get to Ragnarok but their bodies broke apart whenever they came close to him. Then they were swiftly devoured by his tails. The darkness around him is a death zone for everything both living, non-living, and undead.
The way the ghouls died and the sight of their meaningless struggle while being destroyed frightened the fountain of life. Their fate will be its fate if this continues. After all, it is also within the influence of the darkness.
