Chapter 267: Something Demonic...!
The abilities gave The Great Maw a new facet of usage after being absolutely tamed by First Might.
[Mobility]
[By the will of the Tome Of Silence owner, Great Maw can manifest on the part of his body or items.]
[Great Devourer]
[Great Maw's main ability is to consume living things but Great Devourer can devour every other thing but with some damage.]
[Immortality]
[Great Maw is alive as part of The Swimmer but immortal alone]
_____
With the Great Devourer Abilities Seth made The Maw consume the attacks and it worked. Not only that, consuming the attacks made the attacker feel they lost something.
Ding!
[Great Maw is destroyed]
"Haha!" Seth chuckled as he felt The Swimmer squirming as the Maw resurrected on it.
The tribesman that sent the column of fire had already moved away to avoid the incoming chakram, strangely it followed him as if it had its mind while Seth was dealing with the dragons.
The tattoos and silver body they gained increase their strength, stamina and defence but the chakram and the hidden weapon can cut through them with ease.
But they aren't hunters for no reason, they have watched and tracked the sinner and have special eyes to see what this Sinner is capable of and prepare for it.
One of them raised his hand, the energy on his head was silver and the power was related to silver and metal. He began accumulating force while the others were attacking Seth methodically.
"Metal grab!" he shouted as he clenched his hands, intending to pull the chakram and the other hidden weapon.
Suddenly, another chakram appeared as the hidden weapon, it can shrink to coin size and also expand very fast to deliver a very sharp cut.
Unlike the other chakram they were actively watching and evading, this one was just a sharp ring.
The tribesman pulled, and the chakram device resisted but the normal ring was pulled fast. The tribesman raised his flank preparing for something. However, then he realized something was amiss and it was too late.
The chakram embedded itself in his chest and cut through by rotating its sharp edge before it was yanked back and blood followed by splashing out in a crimson spray.
He grasped that he wasn't the one that pulled it but it came to attack him. There was a fleeting glance from the sinner and that made a chill run down the spine of the tribeman.
When that was happening, Seth already pulled out short knives and prepared them for something. At the same time, a single blade of empyrean steel was dashing around and attacking the tribesmen, preventing them from coming close to him.
The dragons woke up a second after they rammed the ground, they shook their dizzy heads but even so, they were confused about what happened.
Two of them transformed into human form.
The dragons looked toward the sinner and their eyes dilated, they saw the flow of some dragon energy within him and one of them blew a wind from his mouth which directly impacted Seth Aspectos.
However, he was in Battle Might Mode, facing against people who wanted to tear him down. He didn't notice the inconsequential ability.
The other dragon snorted at its brethren's lackluster attempt and it slammed its foot on the ground. A shockwave revibrated toward Seth.
The other tribesmen trying to attack him all jumped back. Unfortunately, one of them left behind his cleaved leg by the ankle and he screamed but still moved away wondering when was he cleaved.
The ground Seth was on shook and the tremor seeped into his body. He frowned and his eyes became dazed…moment later he smiled and turned to look at the dragons.

Seth defeated 4 permanently and now he was eying the dragons.
The tremor dragon and clamor dragon sense a chill down their spine and their mind become hazy and they feel the need to leave.
They can already sense that he has defeated others like them and they will be next. The clamour dragon who whispered before and tried to affect Seth Aspecto but failed took a step back.
Suddenly, two tribesmen block Seth's vision and the two dragons break away from their mental hold. They shook their heads and then anger clouded their judgment for being dominated by a human. Their speed skyrocketed with wing flaps and their legs dashed toward the sinner.
Each one of them with their wide maw opened to tear him apart.
"No…" the leader of the tribesmen shouted. Alas, it was too late, the two dragons had lost their composure.
What they didn't know was that they were somewhat influenced by [Confusionist] Skill. This skill in the right situation messed with reasoning and influenced irrational actions.
Seth used it to confuse tribesman to attack another tribesman in the Crystal Dragon Court. And now he used it to provoke dragons' pride and make them attack him recklessly.
No one noticed when Seth released his staff and it shrunk further and when the dragons reached him, his smile widened. His eyes glowed with Preeminence Gaze, adding more [Comfusionist] Skill to his plan.
Clasp!
Clasp!
The two dragons slammed their maw at Seth, each one believed to have bitten him but Seth's visage blurred away.
In reality, they weren't aiming at him directly but just a space beside him.
He was now standing between the two dragon heads and they immediately grasped the situation and their pressure descended, attacking violently.
"Haha!" he chuckled. Seth decided to test his Red Stripe Dragon Pulse.
Booommmmm….
He knew he played in their game, they wanted him to use dragon-related abilities. True to his assumption, his cape became heavier but also his attack was potent as he smashed their body on the ground creating small cracks.
While that was happening, the closest tribesmen were pushed away and Staff Of Elevation was free to issue its own carnage.

Seth frowned, those additional defeats came from the tribesmen, which means he didn't completely incapacitate the dragon.
Before he could think any further, his body floated up, suddenly he was 100 meters up, while his body was rotating, he heard sharp orders given out from a certain direction.
It was the dragon transformers, they were awake and angry. One of them, a hulking man with dark skin and brown eyes glared at Seth with rage.
The other has pale skin and white hair, he is raging too and is the one pulling Seth up in the sky to push him away from the unconscious dragons.
Then the pale-skinned tribesman dashed under Seth and slammed the ground with his hands. Immediately, the place spotted a marble ground.
The moment the place appeared, the dark-skinned tribesman jumped high above Seth, and a giant hammer with a head the size of a human being appeared in his hand.
With a cruel smile, he slammed down viscously.
Seth understood something, he had become vulnerable to their floating ability because he used Dragon Pulse. The evidence was that the flank the human held was glowing and their power was directed at him.
Before the hammer connected, he folded himself and his cape wrapped around him.
Boooooom!
The impact created a shock wave and Seth was hurled down at supersonic speed. The marble glowed eerily and gravity on it doubled further increasing the falling acceleration.
But right as he was going to slam at the marble, 'the caped-wrapped sinner' seemed to have come to a forced stop. The marble gravity effect was opposed by some other force.
Bang!
A heavy sound echoed as if a strong metal beam was slammed at a stone.
Bang! Shattered!
The second sound which made people reel back, cracked the marble and immediately the effect vanished and the sinner unwrapped and stood unharmed.
It was the Staff Of Elevation that attacked the Marble.
The pale man smirked and his hand stretched the moment he saw Seth's face and clapped. An echo of sound moulded toward him.
Cracked!
Azure Attire force field shattered to protect Seth and his eyes were saturated with aura while he reactivated Preeminence Gaze, immediately the pale tribesmen was dazed for a second.
That was more than enough as Seth used Velocity and Momentum Aspecto to reach him, his hand stretched to grab the tribe man's face.
Seth no longer referred to the Aspectos with the dragons he got them from.
But upon touching him, the man recovered and pulled back. At that very moment, the black tribesman with a hammer was just above Seth sending another strike.
Crack!
Azure Attire protection activated and Seth didn't even look up despite knowing he was there.
Tens of meters away from them, Staff Of Elevation was dancing amidst tribesmen but it suddenly expanded to 39 meters long very fast and its weight doubled every meter.
The black man was readying for the next attack when his pseudo-dragon intuition alerted him but when he realized, it was too late for him to move.
However, there was a looming shadow already by his side. Tremor dragon slammed at the side of the expanding staff, its shoulder broke but managed to push away the staff from the black man's face.
But the wind grazed his face and destroyed his ears. The staff contracted as fast.
All this happened just seconds after Seth used Preeminence Gaze and tried to grab the pale tribesman.
The tribesman pulled back and avoided the hand by just a tiny hair distance but Seth clenched his hand with all the strength he could muster…that was when he heard the sound of…
Bang…crack!
It was when the dragon protected the black tribesman.
Seth wasn't distracted the least as he muttered something imperceptible to anyone but him.
The pale man was four meters away now, torn between looking at the black tribesman's dazed realization and the sinner he had just escaped but then he felt his mind dizzy and he looked up… to his horror, he saw something demonic.
