Chapter 277 Ogre's Ghoul (3)



After the initial surprise attack, it seemed Gokung wasn\'t able to carry the momentum. By the time Ashton arrived there, the Ogre Ghoul was decimating the gorillan. But then again, unlike the ogre, close combat was never Gokung\'s forte.

The Ogre had locked Gokung in his vice grip and was slowly crushing her. Even if Gokung \'died\' there, she would resurrect in a couple of hours. So instead of helping her, Ashton decided to keep watching the fight.

That way, he would be able to get some insights on which part he would have to focus on while training her. Sadly, it didn\'t seem like Ashton would be able to gain much information as the ogre had wrapped grabbed onto Gokung\'s jaw and was about to tear her head in half.

"Bad move..." Ashton shrugged his shoulders as he knew what was going to happen next.

Gokung did not resist the ogre\'s attempts to kill her. Instead, she charged up and waited for the correct moment. Soon his mouth was aligned with the Ogre\'s face and at that moment, she rained fire upon him... quite literally.

"Got em."

[That hellfire is no joke.]

Ashton nodded and watched on like a proud pet parent. If there was one thing the undead absolutely loathed, then it had to be fire. The element that could annihilate them.

The ogre\'s face was on fire. There was no chance he was going to fight back any time soon. Gokung seemed to be aware of it as well and wasted no time in thrashing the ogre. She employed the same technique she had used to almost kill Ashton and bombarded the ogre with fire.

The searing smell of rotten flesh flooded Ashton\'s sharp nose. Yet Gokung kept on spewing fire at the ogre. In the end, Ashton had to tell her to stop, because he wanted baiter to make an armour from the Ogre\'s skin and cooked skin wouldn\'t have been of any use to him.

"Enough, stand back!" He yelled at her and Gokung immediately stopped attacking.

However, it turned out to be a mistake. There was another explosion, right behind Gokung. A hand raised itself out of the smoking pits of hell before grabbing onto Gokung\'s head and crushing it in one swift motion.

"What the hell..." Ashton mumbled when he saw what could only be referred to as charred remains of a corpse walking out of the crater Gokung had created, "How is the motherfucker still alive?"

[I already told you. It\'s an ogre. A tenacious species that is extremely difficult to kill using generic methods. He wasn\'t dead, that\'s why your gorillan kept attacking him.]

"Couldn\'t you have told me all this before?"

[Maybe you should have used detection on the bastard before engaging him in a fight? As t answer your question... where\'s the fun in spoon-feeding you everything?]

"You\'re screwed up."

[I\'m living in your head, take a guess why am I like this. It\'s not like you can\'t kill him.]

Ashton sighed but decided to let the matter go. After all, the freakshow was walking straight toward him. He needed to handle him before the ogre handed his ass to him.

The ogre yelled once again but this time, Ashton rushed in and punched him right in the face before the ogre could let out his disgusting shriek again. The ogre waved his arms in an attempt to strike back.

However, not only did the ogre fail, but he also gave Ashton a platform to land on and dung Balmond deep within the creature\'s chest. The ogre shrieked in pain, but it wasn\'t enough to kill him.

But the next moment, something unthinkable happened. The ogre spewed Hellfire of his own. The flames completely swallowed Ashton. The force behind the flames was extreme and managed to knock off Ashton who was somehow dangling to the Ogre\'s chest.

Thinking he got rid of Ashton, the ogre raised his head and roared loudly. It almost felt like the ogre wanted the world to be aware of his victory.

His ability to control fire had given him high resistance to fire. That\'s why Gokung had to attack him multiple times to deal with even the most insignificant amount of damage. That on top of his skin, gave him near immunity to fire.

However, the next moment he felt a sharp pain in his thigh.

"So damn noisy..." Ashton mumbled before twisting the blade which was still plunged deep within the Ogre\'s thigh, "Didn\'t your mother tell you not to play with fire?"

The ogre\'s legs gave out and it fell hard on his back with a loud thud. His eyes were locked on the earthling who had the most maniacal and menacing grin the ogre had ever seen.

"Well guess what? Mine didn\'t tell me such a thing either."

You have activated the legendary skill: [Heaven\'s Downfall]

Suddenly a pit of black flames surrounded them. On Ashton\'s command, hell had been summoned on earth and anyone who dared to approach him would get burned in an instant. The pit of fire was Ashton\'s domain and he was the sole ruler of it.

Even though the ogre had high resistance to fire in general, the only one truly immune to Heaven\'s downfall or Seraph\'s flames on earth was Ashton. At the same time, another unfamiliar notification popped up in front of him.
