Chapter 869 - Nevermore: One Tanky Bastard
🕑 Added 2024-03-12 11:59:32 +0000 UTCFrom the very first moment Jake laid eyes on the ritual circle, he knew there was no way the Twinhead Emperor would be capable of absorbing all the energy contained in the bone spheres. Each sphere held the death energy and curse energy of hundreds, if not over a thousand, dead C-grades alone. This wasn’t even mentioning the uncountable D- and E-grades who had also senselessly fallen in the conflict created by the Twin Emperors.
Even if the boss did then filter a lot of energy out to only absorb the pure Records, there was still a lot left over. This energy had all merged into the semi-intangible ritual circle, which remained mostly untouched despite all the physical destruction.
Now, the Twinhead Emperor was going to reclaim this energy as he stood in the center and raised his staff high. In their initial plans, they had expected the Twinhead Emperor to absorb the energy to help heal. This was still part of the boss’ plan, but Jake realized they had once again underestimated their opponent.
As the Twinhead Emperor reactivated the ritual, two things happened at once. Firstly, a few new runes appeared on his body as death energy began entering through these runes to heal, while secondly, a massive rune was summoned in the air, drawing in all the curse energy.
“Those runes on his body… they are reversing the concept of death into pure life energy,” Dina said, sounding a bit perplexed.
“Even better,” Jake grinned… because, in this rare instance, underestimating the boss had come to their advantage.
The boss had erected a barrier just around himself, as he couldn’t cover the entire ritual circle. As the Twinhead Emperor had just begun to absorb death energy and he condensed some curse magic, a raindrop fell upon the barrier. Soon, more began to fall all over the ritual circle, each drop containing the energy of time.
It took him a moment too long to notice something was off as Jake mentally activated their little trap. Before the two Twin Emperors had begun their ritual, Jake and the Sword Saint had spent a bit over a week doing some slight modifications to the ritual circle the boss had created. It was very minor ones they had overlaid on the other ritual circle. Without power, it had been borderline undetectable, but now, it was getting fed plenty of time affinity energy, which would be one fuel source.
The other? The power of pure hunger.
In the middle of the ritual circle, forgotten entirely by the boss, was a black piece of metal sticking out - a lone katar thrown by Jake’s Eternal Shadow right at the beginning of the fight. Now, this katar suddenly began to hum with power as it became one with the ritual circle.
“What have you-“
The Twinhead Emperor didn’t get further as he suddenly stopped, feeling the effects of the ritual. He had merged himself with it to absorb its energy… created a direct connection between himself and anything inside said ritual. And now, there was a very hungry katar, further empowered by the concept of time, that was more than happy to tap into this delicious connection.
“YOU! Lord of Hunger!” the Twinhead Emperor roared, Jake grimacing as he was still descending down from above. He really didn’t need to be reminded of that nickname.
Not that the ogre was wrong, as it was the energy of the Sin Curse that was suddenly overwhelming the entire ritual. It was so dominant that black intangible and semi-translucent tendrils rose from all over the circle and sought the Twinhead Emperor with pure hunger.
The tendrils began to latch onto the cursed rune above the ogre as they also pierced into the runes on his body, sucking out energy like leeches. Jake happily controlled it all as best he could, feeling the delight from the mythical weapon as it ate well from not only the ogre but all the remnant energy from the ritual itself.
Realizing he was not winning this fight for control, the Twinhead Emperor made a quick decision. The rune above him promptly exploded, releasing a black wave of energy that was mostly pulled in and absorbed by Eternal Hunger, but Dina did have to block the rest.
“Fine, have it your way,”the ogre said with anger as he raised a foot and stomped hard. Jake, flying above, saw cracks spread out from the Twinhead Emperor below. Dozens of them spread in moments from his position, hundreds of kilometers in every direction before he stomped a second time.
The cracks instantly shook and fractured further. A massive earthquake shattered the terrain below, the sheer power enough to finally dismantle the entire ritual circle for good, dispelling all the tendrils. Giant masses of land began to rise, and others fell as the world looked like it split open. Jake also felt Eternal about to be buried deep beneath the ground, but with a mental command and some focus, it dispersed into black energy before reappearing within his Soulspace a few seconds later.
“Everyone okay?” Jake quickly tried to check in with his party, but before he even got an answer, he pulled his bow back out.
“On me,” the Sword Saint responded, Jake having already spotted them. In the chaos, the Twinhead Emperor had singled out the Sword Saint and was now engaging him in a one-on-one. The two of them were rapidly moving through the deep ravines, the old man clearly at a disadvantage but holding his own pretty well, his new skill definitely getting put to use as water clones were destroyed in spades.
It did help when an arrow suddenly pierced out from one of the ravine’s walls, hitting the ogre in the side. A second arrow shot down from above just after before a third came from yet another unpredictable angle. The boss was already damaged quite a bit, which was part of why he was slowed down, but annoyingly so, he was still healing even if they had stopped the ritual. One thing was for sure, though… the boss was using up his energy damn fast.
Once the three others – maybe except for the King as he was not in the best state – joined them, they should be able to-
“Elementals!” Dina suddenly yelled through the Golden Mark, Jake cursing internally as he released a Pulse of Perception to check out the situation.
Just as she had said, out of the deep walls of the ravines, elementals had begun to crawl out, made up of the stone itself. Jake counted a dozen of them, each more than ten meters tall and made up of pure earth. Using Identify, Jake cursed even more.
[Summoned Earth Elemental – lvl 320]
“Hunter, continue to assist the swordsman, the dryad, and I shall deal with these elementals,” the Fallen King said quickly.
“Ree!” Sylphie also added as she swooped in from above the crevice, crashing into an elemental that was closing in on Dina. The Fallen King also quickly made his way to the dryad, as Dina knelt down and focused while protected.
Jake continued helping the Sword Saint while flying down. Every one of his arrows gave the Twinhead Emperor pause or forced him to take damage, giving the Sword Saint enough space to not be wholly overwhelmed. The pressure on him was still intense, as the ogre used both staff and sword to try and take him down, but the elementals the shaman had summoned seemed to have taken a lot out of him as the magic coming from the staff was limited. It also didn’t help that the shaman’s head wasn’t fully healed yet from Jake’s nice opening arrow.
The poison inside the Twinhead Emperor also only got worse and worse with every arrow, the first one having naturally come with a nice payload. Annoyingly so, his poison didn’t work as well as he had hoped. The Heartrot Poison was very rooted in the concept of death, which the ogre had a high natural resistance to. The poison was still working, just not as well as Jake would have liked.
Soon, as Jake was still shooting arrow after arrow, he felt a green aura spread from the deep crevice with Dina in as she was finished with her magic. She, too, had made her preparations before the battle, which took the form of quite literally planting the seeds for a big upcoming spell… one she used now.
A deep thrumming sound came from beneath the ground everywhere as suddenly the ground erupted once more. Thick roots pierced out of the walls and floor of the deep valleys formed from the earthquake, quickly entangling all of the Summoned Earth Elementals at once. The Twinhead Emperor himself also wasn’t spared, as he suddenly found himself surrounded by thick roots that began to promptly sprout vines that whipped toward him, entangling both his arms.
Finally, the Sword Saint could get some distance… except he decided to use this chance to attack instead. Barely taking a step back, he raised his sword and took a stance, not allowing the many wounds marring his body to affect him. As he took a deep breath, his body exploded with power, and for a moment, his entire form changed into one of his younger self as he stabbed.
“Glimpse of Spring: Erosion.”
Entangled, the ogre couldn’t fully respond as he tried to fire a beam from his eyes at the water stream. The thin stream was too fast, and even as the eyebeam hit, it was simply parted in two as the stab continued forward into the chest of the Twinhead Ogre.
Jake saw the torrent of blood shoot out of the ogre’s back as his own arrow rain also arrived, a dozen piercing into the arms and shoulders of the boss. In his chest, a hole big enough to pass a basketball through had opened from the Sword Saint’s Glimpse of Spring, dripping with blood and water. Jake quickly charged another Arcane Powershot, aiming to hopefully take the boss down for good or at least blow up one of the heads again.
Yet, right as Jake began to charge his powershot, a sigh echoed in his ears, the ogre’s aura changing once more. Below, he saw the Sword Saint rapidly retreat as Dina sent yet another message.
“Watch out… I feel a powerful energy of death. Make distance.”
Jake still kept flying down despite the warning but wouldn’t go all the way. He saw the Sword Saint quickly make his way back toward Dina and the others, who were quickly finishing off the Summoned Earth Elementals, which were still entangled in dense and powerful roots.
Right then, the roots began to decay. It started from the ones surrounding the Twinhead Emperor but quickly spread from there, soon making the entire huge root network rot from within. A dark mist spread from the boss, one that gave Jake a powerful response from Sense of the Malefic Viper…
It was poison mist. A natural poison of pure death, born from decay, further infused with a powerful curse. The form of the Twinhead Emperor had turned gray within the dense mist as the ground itself began to lose all color, and with heavy steps, the ogre began to walk toward Dina and company. With every step, the mist grew stronger, the Twinhead Emperor walking with his thick blade over one shoulder.
Then, the ogre suddenly shot forward as he sprinted toward Dina. The staff was gone… which was also when Jake noticed. The head of the shaman looked as if he was knocked out. His eyes were closed, and he didn’t do anything. Jake was confused, but luckily, his confusion didn’t last long.
“One soul… is purely assisting the other,” the Fallen King warned. “We face only the warrior as of this moment, limiting the diversity of skill for power. A temporary empowered state, we should aim to buy time.”
The message was instant, courtesy of telepathy. Jake saw the Twinhead Emperor close in on his party, the Sword Saint having just made it back to them, pretty injured, along with the Fallen King. For them to enter this domain of death wouldn’t be good, and in their injured states, they were simply too slow… so he made a split-second decision.
“Dina, focus on fixing up the two oldies, Sylphie, make sure the poison doesn’t reach them… I’ll keep the big guy busy,” Jake said as he focused while stepping down, Pushing One Step to its limits. As a minor fuck you to the Fallen King, Jake also finally passed a barrier as he, with a single step, traveled more than a hundred miles. He appeared on the ground, right between the charging ogre and his party, who were still making some good distance.
“You…” the voice of the Twinhead Emperor spoke. “Deceitful rat. You are no Lord of Hunger!”
“That,” Jake said, getting into a stance with katars drawn, “we agree on.”
In the very next moment, the wave of pure, deathly mist washed over his body. Jake hid his smile as he took a deep breath through his nose, really experiencing the poison. To breathe a naturally born poison, mixed with curse energy like this… was actually surprisingly tasty.
Honestly, poison and curses… yeah, it was quite an unlucky matchup for the Twinhead Emperor.
Jake charged toward his opponent, too, Arcane Awakening already fully activated as no matter how good the matchup, he could not afford to hold back in the slightest. The two of them clashed in the middle of the deep gorge, the large two-handed blade swinging with the intent to cut Jake in two.
With a light jump, Jake dodged the blow as he stepped down while just above the blade, double-jumping in the air to get behind the large ogre. The Twinhead Emperor quickly spun around, trying to backhand Jake, but he was faster as the fist of the ogre met an outstretched katar that pierced into his flesh.
Groaning once more, the ogre continued his blow, sending Jake sliding back from the impact with his wrist hurting. Without pause, the Twinhead Emperor continued his attack, aggressively swinging while making sure to keep Jake close. The curse and poison were being subtly controlled throughout the fight to congregate around where Jake was to affect him more… something he truly didn’t mind. In fact, he found it kind of nice to have increased resource regeneration from Palate working overtime, with even Eternal Hunger getting in a good dessert after the ritual.
Jake tried not to let this slip as he attempted to fight in an almost desperate fashion, constantly staying on the offensive. In truth, he was very much playing things safe, never overcommitting or going too far, as he battled the far more powerful opponent. The punches alone were enough to send him flying, and he definitely didn’t want to take a blade head-on like the Fallen King had done a few dozen times, so he stuck to dodging and weaving in between the swings.
It ended up taking over a minute before the Twinhead Emperor noticed something was wrong. Jake had tried to fake being affected by the poison, but he simply couldn’t do it convincingly enough while also staying fast enough to not lose a limb.
“I understand now,”the Twinhead Emperor said as he suddenly stopped attacking. “You are the Lord of Hunger… or at least the one who pretended to be. I do not know which trickery you used or how you knew of that old forgotten legend, but you truthfully had me fooled.”
Jake was staring blankly at the boss after hearing those words. What the fuck kind of old forgotten legend was he walking about? Jake had just picked a generic name he thought sounded kinda cool and rolled with it. Well, not like he was going to complain about tapping into some old legend to sell the story more convincingly.
“Perhaps you are our trial to reach beyond… a lesson by the multiverse for the two of us to realize our foolishness in trying to no longer stay as one,” the ogre said with a thoughtful voice.
“You got it mixed up… you’re our challenge to reach beyond,” Jake shot back, happy to keep the boss talking for a moment.
“I do not believe those two statements to be contradictory,” the Twinhead Emperor shook his head – the one who was actually awake. “But I do find it questionable of you five … to have chosen a challenge you cannot hope to overcome is truly foolish.”
As he said this, the poison mist began to fade as it flew toward the boss. The runes that had tried to absorb energy from the ritual earlier appeared again, sucking in all of the mist and infusing the ogre’s body with energy.
Jake cursed under his breath as he once more saw the boss heal, the hole in his chest even regenerating at visual speeds. Sure, he was using up his resources, but due to his soul mutation, the boss had way more than could be considered normal, and he was also absorbing energy from the environment at an unnatural pace.
It truly made for one tanky bastard that was ridiculously hard to put down for good. Jake just hoped he didn’t have too many more tricks up his-
Slamming the two-handed blade into the ground, the Twin Emperor’s body exploded with power as a pillar of black light fell upon him.
“Arise, cursed spirits of the fallen.”
Oh, you gotta be bloody kidding me…

New earth is about as big as the sun pre-system so about 2,700,000 miles in circumference. It would take 27,000 100-mile steps to circumnavigate the planet. We don't know exactly how long it takes Jake to string these long steps together, since he usually takes shorter steps. To make it easy, let's say he can take 27 steps in a minute. It would take Jake only 1000 minutes or 16 hours, 40 minutes to circumnavigate earth or at most half that time to get to travel from Haven to any random spot on earth. When EH sent him to the other side of earth, it took him months to get back and he didn't even manage that on his own power.
Travis G
Zogarth I love you and please keep writing this story 🙏 This shit is rad as hell and you're doing a great job!
Vinstro
Phase 4...complete. Begin Phase 5. Player, please stand-by while we provide this unlocked cutscene. 😀 But really though, I do enjoy a well described boss fight, feels like a great Toriyama tribute too (big fight / attack buildups).
Allan
Did you possibly forget the one very powerful skill Jake had upgrade in Nevermore which was the protean arrow? Quite literally it is an arrow that will be made to suit the target it will be used on, meaning it is a specialized arrow suited for opening and finishing moves which is way more useful. Also EH is very useful as a melee weapon due to it’s durability and unique ability to eat energy. Very useful for blocking and eating away at the opponent for poisons as well. Perhaps during ranged fights you could use embed the blade in the opponent but if that’s the case then it’s probably not even worth fighting for Jake.
Kyler
Could he turned eternal hunger into an arrow to be shot?
Jeff McCulley
Aside from the ogre.

Hello, Jake? TRY A DIFFERENT POISON!

Nah, it's not Minaga's turf

I like how you bring out the ISS for comparison
Ty Cooper
Yes
Jeff McCulley
Nah. “Tanky” is a red herring.
Amathew2
“Jake just hoped he didn’t have too many more tricks up his-“ Jake should have known better then to think anything along the lines of ‘it can’t get worse’.
Micah Molina
I honestly thought it was like Minaga changing the lore on the fly to mess with Jake.

Too bad our supply of Jake juice is limited. A this guys startin to look a lot like a elden ring boss. Fucker just won’t stay dead
Zizawah
Can you point out where the homage is as I am ignorant about popular culture in general.
Sam Rosenberg
Do we think everyone will survive?
SmokeJam
Well if he could use arcane powershot with it, it would be a hilarious opener :D But idk how his hunger curse interacts with arcane mana. I personally don't believe he could wrap it in stable mana as the curse would just try to eat it constantly. So I don't think he can cheat his way into using it as a pseudo-arrow. And the comment about arrows being spears and so on: the only big arrows he ever shot were from his skill. Those inherently will still keep characteristics of normal arrows, which are miles different to spears, even thrown one. Balancing, flexibility etc are completely different.

No, palate doesn’t make one immune just gives one high resistance. Poisons still do work him when it’s injected. Palate just gives high understanding of toxins. In simple terms, you will instantly know when your body’s been invaded by a virus, and will immediately take action through the best possible course of action giving you an immune system that’s completely bonkers. When translated to system fuckery though, it means that poisons without a will guiding it like Jake does with his poison will almost never work on him. The twin headed ogre is just controlling the most so that Jake breathes it in and isn’t controlling it inside of the targets body like Jake is. Eternal hunger just eats everything except itself, it considers Jake itself and boom. Not that hard to understand. You would just need something hard to eat to fight Jake, and that would have to be a stronger curse. Curses of the same grade will compete to see who is superior with the winner consuming the loser. And eternal hunger has so much power that it would most likely have to be a B-grade focused on curses to have to match or beat Jake when it comes to curse energy.
Tucker Longstroth
All solid points. I never meant to imply swapping to exclusively using EH as an arrow, but there are certainly situations where it might behoove Jake to use it. For example, he could use it in his opening barrage when hunting since he is not in melee range anyway, just to front load more dps. I would imagine it could also be used to remotely remove the power from enchantments or rituals.
Allan
Well it’s more like it consumes energy to create more curse energy to expand it’s already massive well. It doesn’t generate it on its own and instead consumes other energies to further its own power. It consumes everything to expand its self. Kinda like those games where idle games where you get better to do better stuff and replaces it with consuming everything.
Allan
I’m pretty sure eternal hunger can take the form of any weapon just that it’s not very useful as arrows. It will eat the poison, which is one of Jake’s greatest weapons and force him to lose a powerful melee weapon. It’s also tiring to have to constantly call back the weapon after it’s shot. Once or twice is probably fine but ten and more? Now that is just spending energy for no reason. Also, what if the opponent could somehow temporarily seal it using some obscenely powerful skill or item? Most arrow skills might not even work, arrow rain won’t work, you can’t explode it, you can’t poison it, and some skills might not even recognize the thing as an arrow. Jake has an arrow making skill for a reason as they are made from his arcane affinity and especially suited towards him.
Thenais
😍 nice homage to Toriyama
Mat
It can change it into any weapon including bow but during testing of Eternal Shadow skill he noted that a regular bow is more effective
Ty Cooper
Lol yeah. Took me longer it it should have to figure that out.
Ty Cooper
Or it's the final boss for B-grade Nevermore
Ty Cooper
Bet he asks Villy
Grine
In our earth space officially start at 100Km. 100 mile would be +/-160km (also the ISS is at +/-400Km above earth). So yeah that's quite mind blowing.
Ty Cooper
Let just be real. Palete and Eternal hunger eat anything between the two of them. In creating EH it ate anything with energy, mana included.
Zizawah
Jake would have been immune to miasma except that is a skill and he didn’t have that skill in the colosseum
Nate Oppy
THO = two headed ogre
D.Pidge
Typo: "like the Fallen King had gone a few dozen times" Should be 'done' instead of 'gone'.
Ty Cooper
Eternal Hunger absorbs records for sure which is an impatient on its own. I believe that makes it stronger. It also absorbs parts of everything's soul to use but Jake hasn't used any of the souls yet. Jake has barely touched the surface of what it can do. Duskleaf even advised him to use it in rituals. What I am very unsure of is if Eternal Hunger get more records back after the use like Jake Juice in creating the bee queen ritual. Is it the same, I have no clue.
Ty Cooper
I am hoping SS uses his new skill to take out all the undead adds. I am not sure if he will fully activate his transcendent. Would be epic if Jake had to go all out like with Valdy and SS fully unleashed, but I don't think this is that fight. I think that will be the primo guardian fight
Tyler S.
He could keep it looking like a Katar and just wrap it in Arcane energy to form the shaft of an arrow into it, like another big ass arrow hes shot before
Roguewave1737
I seem to recall the restriction was relaxed to "blades" or something as an explanation for why it couldn't be an arrow. I could however see it getting added as an arrowhead to a large arrow made of arcane energy.
Or maybe it's Villy😜
Kenneth Welever
I could be wrong but I thought that limit was removed when it was fully merged into a single weapon since none of the nine were katars either. Also what is an arrow but a small spear. Which he can change it into. If limited to a spear in size that didn't limit him much either.
Bunny Waffles
Everyone knows that activating the super secret Hard Mode means the boss gets extra phases.
SmokeJam
No. It could never change into another form than the ones provided by the vampire chimera weapons. And an arrow isn't a melee weapon. Neither could it change into a usable bow. And again, I'm not completely sure about it, but since sim-Jake the katar never adopted another form. Either katar or curse energy mist to be called back afaik.
Kenneth Welever
Eternal hunger was made from an enchanted chimeric weapon that can become any weapon he could think of. It was just slow to shift and he isn't a weapon master so he learned sim- Jake's katar skills and stuck with that.
Aerlevsedi
Oh dear. We're going to have villy tease Jake about impersonating an actual curse God after this aren't we?
SmokeJam
Difference between eating/absorbing (palate and weapon) vs simply withstanding malicious energy. It's not so much that Jake becomes immune (only to poison and even that can get tricky), he and the Viper have just a knack for abusing the system. If the Ogre would've used death in miasmic form, palate wouldn't do anything (see the fight vs the undying general in the collisseum, Jakes first death there)
Zizawah
Only into forms it had before they were merged I believe
Tucker Longstroth
The weapon can change forms, so he could change the katar into an arrow
SmokeJam
And how exactly do you expect a katar to be shot from a bow? Accurately no less, as I can't imagine his archery skills to work on a melee weapon which is quite obviously not a projectile. And I'm not too sure, but I think the weapon lost its ability to shapeshift after sim-Jake fucked around with it. So while I understand where you are coming from, the story tries to still move in a realm of logical magic and skill usage. His arrows are simply way better to shoot around than the mythical weapon he would need to spend way more focus on and recall it every time too, while it doesn't bring the same flexibility and utility like his arrow skills.
SmokeJam
Phase 3 let's go! I hope they remember to always kill the adds before the boss :D
Kaibutsu
Arise! ^^ hehe
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Tucker Longstroth
Is there any reason Jake can’t use Eternal Hunger as an arrow, or has he just not thought of it yet? The line about him throwing the katar made me think of the weapon’s applications as a thrown projectile, but it just doesn’t make sense for Jake to be throwing his projectiles.
brennon Petersen
Tftc!
KenTX325
I think the threat is hunger getting strong enough to challenge him for control. I agree Sophie is great and really enjoy the way she uses the word ree!
KenTX325
A little disappointed the trap and poison didn’t work better. Nice to see his team improve.
BelligerentGnu
Two thoughts: One, I wonder if Eternal Hunger gets stronger by eating stuff? Because it's the concept of hunger, I would imagine anything it eats just disappears. Second, there's something so hilarious about this fluffy, American Kestrel style little bird being a cosmic badass.
kiewitz
My guess is that Lord of hunger is actually another super hidden boss of this floor that the party will somehow unlock
Dan
Because Jake has a specific skill for absorbing poisons and a weapon that devours other curses, while THO just has a high affinity for death.
TSMS
Looks like Jake is as impatient as some of us and wants to get done with the fight and Nevermore asap. Also, how ridiculously far up was Jake, when he took all this time to get back to the ground AND finished his descend by a 100-mile step? After NM all human settlements on earth will be just a casual stroll away from Haven.
BenjiVoid
They're both in a good matchup, but Jake has specific skills and experience countering and consuming poisons.
Zizawah
Since the ogre has death affinity, the poison with the same affinity doesn’t quite work well though given it’s poison to the heart it still works but just slowly. As for Jake he’s cheating with poison absorption through palate of the viper and curse absorption through hunger
Ryan Ulrich
Can someone explain how Jake is immune to the death curse poison of the THO, but THO isn’t immune to his Heartrot poison which focuses on death, when it is literally uses death which is his path? Not that I’m complaining, but it seems Jake is immune to any concept he incorporates into his path while the same isn’t true for others
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, Thank you for the chappy, Zogarth!
Sam Rosenberg
Nice chapter
Decibel790
Tftc; man, this guy would be hell to fight in a video game.
Michael Fannon
Necromancy huh? In the middle of a battleground. Where Jake and Co absolutely slaughtered everyone. The dead might feel a bit resentful about that. And they are in the middle of a curse field that could amplify and empower that resentment. Fun.
Adam Owada
"This isn't even my final form!"

Isn't his concept consumption? Which I think is different a little different but id also be fine if your right snappy ma boi
mitchell kaiser
That was a “nice” chapter :)
Cory Sauls
Great chapter. Thank you

I mean Snappy could be a Lord of Hunger

Third phase and he's spawning more mobs. What a guy

Valhazstromoz
So the Lord of hunger is actually a long dead or hidden god? Wonder if this will be expanded on in the future or if eternal hunger will gain a fragment of his soul through the records of the concept of hunger
