Chapter 2006: Memory Eater EX I
2006 Memory Eater EX I
The pressure from the being in the other dimension made Adrian or any of his allies unable to move. The eye did not stop exerting pressure as the Memory Eater finalized its new form. The humanoid appearance of a human sized goblin with the exoskeleton that looked like an armor. The new Memory Eater was reborn and this time it has fused with the body of its host with the power of an evil god.
[You are in the presence of the Memory Eater EX.]
Monster Name: Memory Eater EX
Monster Type: Extraterrestrial
Monster Tier: Mythical
Level: 400
HP: 50%
MP: 22%
Description: A monster that is born as a parasite but has now fully fused with its host using the unknown power of an evil god that it has summoned through sheer desperation. It now has the full abilities of the First Golden Goblin Lord while having an exoskeleton that is slightly increased defense. It is still weak to physical attacks, but its body is no longer in the realm of normal.
Monster Thought: Destroy the enemy!
"I hate my life." Adrian muttered as that is all he can do since he cannot move.
The Memory Eater EX has the body of a humanoid that is not in perfect shape. Its arms are almost twice as long as its body due to it almost reaching the ground. It also has tentacle-like nerves coming out from its heads that make it looks like it has some sort of long hair. The exoskeleton that it is wearing looks like the previous parasitic membranes of the Memory Eater creating an armor.
The Memory Eater EX does not have eyes as half of its face is actually brain with the lower half just being a large mouth. The thing that terrifies Adrian the most is that it is now capable of coherent speech unlike before. This is no longer just some sort of fusion but the creation of a higher order being and all of it is due to the evil god beyond the destroyed dimension.
"Paradox, any ideas?" Adrian stated but he suddenly saw a large, clawed foot near his face before he got an answer.
Adrian was suddenly sent flying towards the building that Dodu was trying to still destroy. Fortunately for Adrian, he is still in his Netheros True Form which is why his elevated stats made him bulkier. In just one kick, Adrian lost 5% of his health which is already big for one attack. All of Adrian's soulbounds tried to escape the pressure but they were also unable to do so even if they are strengthened by nether energy.
"Great power!" The Memory Eater EX stated as its voice was incredibly screechy as if it was straining its own vocal cords in order to speak.
The Memory Eater EX smiled sinisterly as it suddenly looked at its hands. With one thought, the hands that looked humanlike suddenly turned into sharp membranous claws. The first thing that the Memory Eater EX tested its new claws on was none other than Sirius. Seeing the bloodlust that suddenly exploded from the body of the Memory Eater EX, Sirius tried to let its body sink into the shadows.
Sirius was able to slightly evade the claws of the Memory Eater EX, but its back could be seen injured before his body sunk to the shadows. The Memory Eater EX looked at the strange red color that laced its claws as this is something that is not that common for it. The Memory Eater EX only knew of blood because of the First Golden Goblin King but the blood that the latter had was not red but bluish.
The Memory Eater EX opened its large mouth as a tongue that looked like a tentacle suddenly extended to lick the red blood. The Memory Eater EX shuddered as if it has tasted something extremely exhilarating because it is the first time it has tasted anything. It did not have any need for taste as it only needed a host when it needed to live when it was still a parasitic monster.
"Delicious!" The Memory Eater EX stated as it looked at all of Adrian's soulbounds as prey.
The Memory Eater EX is now accustomed to the taste of blood as it has evolved into a being that needs the flesh of the living in order to live. Adrian tried his best to move even though his body is getting damaged as he needed to seal back all of his soulbounds, but he cannot. The being from the other dimension was looking at him more compared to the others which meant that the pressure on him was greater.
"More!" The Memory Eater EX shouted as it elongated its claws once more and the target was now Kanlaon.
Kanlaon cannot move as well but he was still coiled up and protecting Piggy Bank. Piggy Bank will not die unless Kanlaon dies but he might be next with the sadistic smile of the Memory Eater EX. The Memory Eater EX vanished from its location and appeared in front of Kanlaon as it wanted to plunge its claws towards him. As soon as the claws of the Memory Eater EX touched Kanlaon, the claws bend a little, but it was able to crack some of Kanlaon's scales which meant that they were durable and sharp.
The fact that the claws of the Memory Eater EX can damage Kanlaon to an extent but also get some backlash meant that it has yet to fully metallize its exoskeleton. As long as they can defeat the Memory Eater EX now then they will be able to kill it before it has fully become a hardened warrior. Adrian thought that there was still a chance even though their enemy is strong as it is still fragile.
"I just need to escape from the pressure of that evil god." Adrian thought as he glared at the evil god to look at the dimensional barrier and noticed that it was not resealing itself properly.
The evil god tried looking for Adrian and looked at the flying Memory Eater EX, but he was not there. The evil god thought that Adrian would follow up and attack the Memory Eater EX, but he was wrong. Adrian has already made sure to stop time as he summoned his spear armament. Rage boiled upon Adrian's mind as time flowed back to normal.
10:44
The evil god from beyond the dimension was making sure that the dimensional barrier does not restore itself. It was using some of its own power to keep the small rift from closing up. Adrian knew that the evil god will not be able to enlarge it unless it was waiting for the Memory Eater EX to enlarge the rift for it.
"Arggh!" Kanlaon suddenly shouted as his scales were destroyed and blood trickled down.
"Impossible! How did was the Memory Eater EX able to destroy Kanlaon's scales so fast!?" Adrian thought as he can feel Kanlaon's pain through the soul link.
Adrian managed to look closely to see that the Memory Eater EX is now getting used to its body to a great degree. The Memory Eater EX coated its claws with spatial energy which made it have the penetration enchantment. The fact that it was able to do this at so little time meant that its own intelligence was increasing at an alarming rate. Adrian suddenly felt that he might actually fail a quest as large as this and he was even helping out a friend.
"I should at least save Piggy Bank with all I can muster even if I have to sacrifice a level to cast a forbidden spell." Adrian thought as he knew that Piggy Bank must not die or else the quest would fail.
Just as Adrian was thinking about how to save Piggy Bank, the sound of coins jiggling suddenly echoed in the surroundings. The Memory Eater EX that was enjoying the sight of Kanlaon's blood is suddenly allured by the golden glow that came from inside of the dragon's coil. A burst of golden light and the sound of a thousand of coins clinging is emitted as a golden knuckle met the face of the Memory Eater EX.
"Hundred Thousand Grand Money Knockout!" Piggy Bank shouted as his fist became pure gold and hit the face of the Memory Eater EX.
The Memory Eater EX got sent flying as a result of the powerful attack that Piggy Bank used. The shockwave of the punch also released some sort of golden aura that temporarily released all of his allies from the pressure that the evil god is exerting. As soon as Adrian was able to freely move, he sealed Kanlaon as he was bleeding profusely and vanished from his location.
The evil god tried looking for Adrian and looked at the flying Memory Eater EX, but he was not there. The evil god thought that Adrian would follow up and attack the Memory Eater EX, but he was wrong. Adrian has already made sure to stop time as he summoned his spear armament. Rage boiled upon Adrian's mind as time flowed back to normal.
The evil god finally saw Adrian, but he was now controlling a large spear with all the nether energy that he could muster. With a loud shout, Adrian shot his spear towards the eye that was peeking out as he needed to deal with the evil god first.
