The SSS Beast King: Rebirth of the Legendary Predator

And with that, we separated. With his skills, Dusk would fight the giant head-on, using his body as the battleground. This let me breathe but also gave us two separate battlefields where we rule.

Taking into account our ruling natures, sharing an arena would only make us get in each other's way. But now, one dominated the sky while the other attacked from the ground.

I saw how the electricity that had once embraced my body wrapped around his. I couldn't say I didn't feel envious, but at the same time, I tried not to pay attention to this feeling. If I envied him, it would mean envying his beast. It's an unwritten fact that your jealousy of another beast's powers meant you considered their powers superior to you.

I drew out one of the daggers and took a deep breath, letting my muscles tense in preparation for what could be my death. But I tried not to think of this, as every time I did, I could feel a tear on the grasp of escaping my eyes. Yet, mentally, I didn't feel anything. My theory was that the body was feeling these emotions. Fear, it feared death. But how could a soulless being cry?

Maybe, just maybe, it was the boy from which I took this body that was causing these reactions. It made sense, after all, he was still just a kid. Someone who had a loving family and a stable income. Someone who could like their life with no worry.

I'm sure he never thought he'd find himself inside The Core. I wonder, what was he thinking right now? Is he able to see? No, if he wasn't, he wouldn't have these reactions in the face of danger.

Suddenly, I felt a hushed voice whispering into my ear. I could hardly understand what it was trying to say. I could only decipher some words, so it took me some time to understand what he was trying to tell me.

"You dumbass! What are you doing? Fight already!" This voice... it was familiar. I raised my head and saw Dusk on one of the giant shoulders, screaming at me. It had been him who was talking to me, not the boy. And he was right, I couldn't wait anymore.

Around my hand and the dagger, the wind's original direction shifted straight down as a purple flame manifested in the same place. I was finally able to shape the aura into a force, and now, my skill was stronger than ever before. But maintaining this fire also meant that my energy was depleting faster and faster.

I could already feel sweat forming on my forehead. But that only made me even more excited. It had been a while since I last fought an opponent stronger than myself.

With me finally able to keep this flame under my fingers, I took a step back and, with my arm arched as back as it could, gained as much velocity as possible. It was time to test my new toy out.

With this, I threw the dagger into the stomach of the giant. While in the air, the dagger kept accelerating even as some of the momentum of the throw exhausted. With the purple flame around it, I could keep accelerating it until I fell unconscious. Of course, I wasn't going to waste myself on one attack, but the point was that I could control them even indirectly.

I felt the impact in my bones whenever the dagger hit the beast. A monstrous scream escaped his mouth, causing my ears to bleed. I breathed rapidly, trying to calm down as my ears were bleeding out. I could hardly even hear something.

I looked up to see if Dusk had the same damage. But the guy was completely fine. Yet he shot me a confused gaze after witnessing my attack. He surely wasn't expecting such damage, and I, too, wasn't.

I watched how only the hilt of the dagger was still visible, as the rest had penetrated its body, causing blood to gause out like a fountain.

'Hey, look, we're both bleeding.' I laughed sarcastically even though It was evident that this beast was on the dumber side and didn't understand the human language. 'Pathetic.' I murmured.

With this successful attack, I felt a wave of joy drown me with its warmness. Yet, deep down we both knew I wasn't going to be able to use that again.

I ducked, the arm of the giant flashing before my eyes. With this blow, I had attracted its attention, and so I wouldn't have had time to prepare another attack. 'I guess I'll put quantity over quality for today.' I drew a dagger for each finger, and in a fraction of a second, I let my flames corrupt the cheap blade.

I then threw them all, aiming wherever I could. I grouped them all, so controlling was easier. And with this pack of flying daggers, I cut through the air like butter.

Whenever I got close to its body, I disbanded the group, trying to cause an attack that would cover the most area. But as I tried aiming them, I got hit to the side, flying a few meters back.

Luckily, this time my body was prepared for any impact. I spit out any of the blood that had disrespectfully escaped my mouth without permission.

Out of all of the daggers, only three connected. But even those were hardly holding onto the beast.

With the giant running at me, I had to think of something. I examined its movements and came out with a plan. But for now, I had to wait for it to get closer. Which wasn't that easy, as normally a king gets what he wants immediately.

Makes me wonder what Dusk is thinking of at the moment. But as that thought came to me, I saw him diving into the arms of the giant. 'Dusk are you out of your mind!' I screamed out, but it was meaningless, as I horrifically watched a human's death.

But then, I heard the sound of drums, and in the next second, a flying beam of electricity burstred into the body of the giant.

I had forgotten, this guy wasn't human, neither was he a beast. He was a monster.
