Chapter 257: Self Regeneration

Jacob pulled his hand out of the gaping hole that now showed through her abdomen, his fist covered once again in the purple goo that made up her entire physical structure.

He wrung his hands like a pair of clothes, wearing a disgusted expression on his face as the pieces of goo fell onto the ground and instantly dissolved into the air.

The young woman stood there with an expressionless face. Then she turned around, picked up the piece of her that had fallen almost lifelessly to the ground, and put it back in place. The entire sequence looked as natural to her as anything else in the entire world.

“How do you even live like this?” Jacob inquired with a confused expression. He wondered how the young woman could go so long without possessing a natural human body, even while looking just like a human.

“To be honest, it’s rather convenient. I don’t get sick or injured, and whatever I eat just gets dissolved and added to my strength,” Leena responded casually, swinging her bladed hair in the air multiple times with a faint glint in her eye.

Jacob could end this battle in mere seconds, but he was momentarily concerned with conversing more with the young woman, hoping to see the world from her perspective.

“Having to pick up parts of your body all the time can get exhausting, no?”

“You can say tha—wait! Don’t derail me, you bastard! Why are you making me have a conversation with you?”

“You’re right… there’s no reason to be having this conversation right now, but I just want to know. What happens if your head is ripped off?” Jacob smiled mischievously, with a gleam in his eye.

Leena gritted her teeth in annoyance. Was this runt really just threatening to rip her head off? Certainly not.

She dashed at Jacob for the umpteenth time, the ground breaking in two as she moved through the sound barrier, defying the wind as she closed the gap in less than 0.2 seconds.

But no matter how fast she was, Jacob was faster. Just before she could connect with two swinging blades, she completely paused in the air. Frozen in place, without even the ability to move her mouth. Jacob had not even raised a single hand or moved a single muscle in his body.

She stood there, twitching lightly, her body compressing extremely tightly as her eyeballs appeared almost bloodshot.

Jacob was controlling the young woman’s movements with his mind alone.

Much as Leena struggled, she couldn’t seem to gain control over herself. Jacob felt as though the battle had gone on for too long, and even though Leena appeared to be someone with an interesting backstory, she clearly did not have enough power to accomplish that which she had set out to do.

He found himself lifting her gradually into the air, her body held tightly in place with the power of Jacob’s will alone.

…

When she was about 10 feet above the ground, she suddenly felt a heavy pressure pressing down on her from above and pulling her down rather aggressively and quickly.

It felt as though gravity had multiplied a millionfold as she crashed violently into the earth. The impact sent waves that spanned for miles.

BOOM!

The ground was instantly shattered by her body as Jacob caused her to crash like a meteorite onto the earth. The crater formed as a result of the impact was splattered with purple goo, the young woman’s face half-depleted due to the impact of that slam alone.

“Uhhh…hh….” She groaned lightly as she stretched an arm out. But Jacob had not yet finished with her. She was instantly seized by his mind and raised into the air. This time, she was raised to a height of about 15 feet.

Jacob merely watched with a flat expression as the young woman was lifted into the air over and over again, slamming onto the floor and creating a deeper hole in the ground every time her body hit the ground.

SWOOSH!

BOOM!

SWOOSH!

BOOM!

The sounds echoed all over the arena as Leena was left breathless and powerless by every impactful crash into the red earth. After about five minutes, Jacob finally decided to stop, right after the young woman’s body was completely broken down into pieces, and tiny shreds of her purple, gooey body were spattered across the inside of the large ditch where whatever remained of her now lay.

“I’m very curious to see how you put yourself together.” Jacob squatted at the edge of the large hole in the ground and watched her with a playful smile and a glint in his eyes, his hair waving beautifully as the wind around him blew against his face.

…

Elyssara had already started to get hot once again as she watched Jacob slam Leena into the ground multiple times with nothing but his mind.

“Ughh! He definitely knows how to pound a woman!” she muttered out loud and hit her index finger in a seductive manner, revealing a set of pristinely white and polished teeth.

Her eyes shone faintly as she watched the battle keenly, her next plan to lure Jacob already well thought out in her head. This time, she would hit him with something that he would not expect at all.

…

Jacob watched and listened as Leena groaned while her half-destroyed body lay near lifeless in the hole.

Then suddenly… all the parts of her that had scattered across the floor began to vibrate rather violently, smushing against each other as they began to slide back toward where the main head sat.

The body was self-regenerating.

Jacob smiled because he found this rather interesting. All this time, she had tried to make him believe that the only way her body could regenerate was if she manually did it herself, but any broken or destroyed parts of her always returned to the main body.

The pieces of goo started to attach themselves to each other once they had reached the main body, reforming the young woman’s entire body makeup from scratch as she groaned lightly. First the neck, then the arms, then the feet. Before long, she was whole again, just lying there and breathing heavily as she slowly raised her head and forced herself to rise to her feet.

It was not long before she caught a glimpse of Jacob squatting at the edge of the hole and watching her with very keen eyes. There was a smile on his face that showed her that he was not surprised by anything that had just happened here.

“I knew you were pretending the entire time, though. Just saying.” Jacob joked, making a few gestures with his hands.

“That’s why you went and gave me a headache.” Leena rubbed her head lightly as she jumped back a couple of meters until she was out of the hole and level with the opposite end of the hole that her body had created. She knew not to go near Jacob again, especially when the power of his will clearly surpassed anything she could do with her physical body.

“I thought you said you couldn’t feel pain,” the young man said.

“Doesn’t mean it’s convenient, you know, trying to kill a young woman here.”

Jacob had only slammed the young woman into the ground multiple times just to see what happened if her entire body was broken down into pieces. And he only did it in that way to display an overwhelming gap in power between them, but it seemed as though the young woman still hadn’t gotten the memo.

It was no matter anyway. Jacob already knew what he would do next, and if he went through with it, then the young woman might actually die.

The thought of it sent a surprising wave of excitement through him, like blood coursing through his veins.

This might be the first person he killed in the tower. He didn’t like the fact that it was a woman, and especially the fact that it was a woman who had never felt any form of affection throughout her life.

Still, he would do what he had to do.

If she was tough enough to withstand what he was about to do, then she was definitely a warrior fit for the Tower of Sun.

If she could not, then she was not worthy enough to be here in the first place.

…

Romstad had a flurry of emotions flash through his mind throughout the battle, although he did not show them on his face. He really wanted to see how this battle would turn out. That would tell him how he was going to follow up on this young man who seemed rather interesting.

“I like the telekinesis move, but show me something, Jacob. Show me something. I’m dying for some action.”

…

Elyssara had openly begun to pleasure herself at this moment. Her eyes had rolled into the back of her head as her wetness filled the entire seat and the floor below her feet.

“Come on, Jacob, kill that bitch and come pound me instead.”
