Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 29


Chapter 29: Battle To Death

With the doubling of health vitality, the power of the Red Lotus True Fire was also doubled.
Coupled with the experience that Lu Yu had gained earlier, he compressed the Red Lotus True Fire and condensed its strength. By doing that, he enabled the overall power to increase several times.
After condensing, the fire beam formed by Red Lotus True Fire shot out.
The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth once again launched its wall of red fiery flames and came charging at Lu Yu.
This time, Lu Yu's Red Lotus True Fire shot through it and struck the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's body directly, leaving behind numerous wounds.
However, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth had dense skin and thick flesh. It didn't seem to be affected much and was still able to continue fighting.
Song Yu, who was not far away, watched all this scene unfold in utter disbelief. This guy was actually able to fight head-on with the class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, and even suppress its attacks! How terrifying was his strength?
This guy was no ordinary Great Martial Master!
Meanwhile, Lu Yu continued to battle.
Although the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth had dense skin and thick flesh, the attack by Red Lotus True Fire earlier had already caused considerable damage.
If the battle continued in this vein, he should be able to defeat the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth very soon.
Like before, Lu Yu deployed the same tactic of doubling his health vitality, then with the condensed Red Lotus True Fire, he launched it at the beast.
At the same time, Lu Yu raised the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and charged towards the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth struggled to fight back. Having just sustained some injuries from the impact of Lu Yu's Red Lotus True Fire, it now faced Lu Yu with his Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
It immediately charged towards him.
However, Lu Yu didn't face it head-on anymore. He activated Shadowstep and dodging nimbly, he instantly arrived at the side of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
This was the location where the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth had been injured by Lu Yu's Red Lotus True Fire. Blood was flowing out non-stop from the wound.
If not for the dense skin and thick flesh of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, it would have collapsed a long ago after losing so much blood.
Lu Yu's eyes were cruel and merciless as he brandished the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and struck out with all his might.
Critical Hit Strengthening was triggered, increase by 60%!
Lu Yu suddenly slashed viciously at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's gaping wound.
As the saber stuck, the enormous Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth emitted a loud wail of pain and anguish.
However, Lu Yu didn't stop. He continued to slash several times, aiming his saber directly and repeatedly at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's wounds.
The wound was less than half an arm's length initially. Under Lu Yu's relentless hacking, within a few strikes it had enlarged to half the size of a human. One could even see the flesh and blood right inside the opening.
Unable to bear it any longer, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth aimed a mighty kick at Lu Yu.
Mobilizing his Shadowstep, Lu Yu nimbly dodged again and reached the other side of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
Over here, there was also a small wound left behind by the Red Lotus True Fire.
Lu Yu repeated the same tactic. With a few strikes of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, he slashed open the existing wound, and blood flowed out endlessly.
The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth wailed and howled desperately. Despite its overpowering strength, it couldn't even touch Lu Yu.
At this moment, Lu Yu was feeling very glad that he had chosen the Shadowstep technique in the beginning.
Compared to other movement techniques of the same level, Shadowstep might not be the speediest, but it was definitely the most agile and nimble within a short distance.
It was just like right now. As Lu Yu utilized his Shadowstep, he could move extremely nimbly and dodge and weave within short distances. On the other hand, with the massive bulk of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, it wasn't able to catch him at all. Even though it had the strength, it was useless against Lu Yu.
Furious, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth kept unleashing red fiery flames at his attacker, but Lu Yu simply evaded them effortlessly.
Lu Yu did not let up on his attacks even as he dodged. Alternating between the Red Lotus True Fire and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, he unleashed a flurry of relentless attacks.
Moreover, whenever there was a chance, Lu Yu would try his best to attack the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's existing wounds.
There was no other method he could deploy. The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's dense skin and thick flesh were simply too tough. If Lu Yu did not focus on his wounds, it would be difficult for him to inflict much damage.
Finally, after 4 or 5 attacks by the Red Lotus True Fire and dozens of strikes by the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth could no longer hold on and collapsed.
There were two huge wounds on the left and right side of his body that kept bleeding endlessly. It was seriously injured.
The impact from its collapse caused the ground to tremble.
Lu Yu didn't dare to lower his guard. He hurriedly rushed forward with the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, and slashed down a dozen more times.
It wasn't until the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth stopped moving and howling, and was confirmed to have died that Lu Yu finally relaxed.
Song Yu, who was hiding on one side, could not believe her eyes. She thought that it was amazing that Lu Yu was engaging the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth in close combat, and had assumed that he would hold on until reinforcements arrived.
Contrary to her expectations, within such a short time, Lu Yu had single-handedly slain an almighty class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth!
Only now did Song Yu realize how badly she had underestimated Lu Yu.
How was this an unarmed, defenseless old man? He was clearly a terrifying Great Martial Master!
At this moment, when Lu Yu verified that he had successfully slain the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, he let out a big sigh of relief. He first used the Blood Emperor Battle Saber to slice off a piece of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's meat, and then used its own condensed flames to roast it on the spot.
It wasn't long before the fragrant aroma of roast meat filled the air. Lu Yu couldn't care less about his image as he grabbed the meat and started wolfing it down ravenously.
It didn't take long for Lu Yu to finish roughly another 20 catties worth of Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meat.
Lu Yu burped with satisfaction as a notification appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the hind leg meat of an class Fearsome Beast, Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. Received: Strength +632, Health Vitality +452, Spirit +345, Red Raging Flames (class)!]
As soon as the notification sounded, Lu Yu felt a warm current flow through his body and a tingling sensation spread through his body.
Immediately afterwards, every aspect of Lu Yu's body experienced an astonishing upgrade.
At the same time, Lu Yu's external appearance changed again.
The few wrinkles that were left on his face faded away, and his white hair gradually turned black.
Before long, Lu Yu's full head of white hair disappeared, and in its place was a head of black hair.
With a wrinkle-free face and a strong, muscular body, he did not look like an old man in his 90s at all. He was clearly a mature man in his 40s in the prime of his life!
At the side, Song Yu let out a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Yu succeed in eliminating the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
She had already been injured earlier on and had been holding out for a long time. After the sense of relief washed over her, she slowly fainted.
Just before she completely lost consciousness, she happened to witness the change in Lu Yu's appearance, changing from an old man to a mature middle-aged man.
Lu Yu was also overjoyed as he sensed the changes in his body.
This was a change brought about by reaching a certain level of strength and having a sufficient concentration of health vitality
Lu Yu looked at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth's corpse again. Earlier, he had only cut off a piece of meat that weighed about 20 catties and eaten it, but with that, he had already obtained a significant boost in strength.
And that piece of 20 catties meat, compared to the whole Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth that was about 4 to 5 persons tall, was merely a drop in the ocean.
The remaining Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meat was a huge fortune for Lu Yu.
Later on, when Lu Yu slowly consumed all of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meat, his strength would definitely receive a massive boost, raising it to an incredible level.
However, the body of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was too big, and carrying it was extremely troublesome.
At this point, Lu Yu recalled that the woman seemed to have an interspatial ring on her hand. He hurriedly walked towards Song Yu.
