Chapter 192: Against the Myogenecon
For his next attempt at the Myogenecon, Kai took a little longer to prepare. If brute force wouldn't work, he would return to his roots as a hunter. He sneaked to the other side of the bluffs and set up a number of stake pits and tripwires. Those wouldn't be enough, of course, but he planned a more sustained offensive.
He sought the Acidlance Queen within him, then fed it the Acidspitter essence. That raised its power by a rank, and after some progress he could spit straight through the trunk of a tree.
When he lured the Myogenecon to his traps, he was careful not to reveal any of his plan, just harrying it with ranged qi. He didn't need to have bothered, because it just kept charging at him. It plunged straight into the largest of his pit traps, impaling itself multiple times on the stakes.
And then it kept thrashing, empty eyes staring at him in blind range, or perhaps hunger.
Kai spat one jet of acid, then another. It tore up one of the stakes with one hand and hurled it at him, very nearly connecting. He kept darting around the sides of the pit, covering the monster in more and more acid. Bones were beginning to come apart now as the acid ate away at the monster, he could almost see it falling apart...
Suddenly the Myogenecon grabbed its own arm, tore it off, and struck Kai across the face with the surprisingly long range. His skull made another unpleasant cracking sound and he went down. For several seconds his mind was on fire, then it coalesced into a powerful heartbeat reverberating through him.
If not for his trap, he would have died. Unfortunately, it wasn't holding: the Myogenecon roared and new muscles began spreading over its bones. Not just restoring it, building it larger and stronger.
This was the closest he had been. Kai let out a cry of rage and swung another Tyrant's Claw, almost severing another bone. For several seconds he didn't give ground, taking the punishing blows, pushing through the pain, and hitting back. They tore into one another and he almost tricked himself into believing it was an equal fight.
But then the Myogenecon roared back and began to swing, its blows even more ferocious than before. When it tore apart the last stakes, he retreated again.

With all his other techniques proving ineffective, Kai returned to Void Gaze. He'd grown more comfortable with it, even though he hadn't been able to use it extensively. Since he didn't want to risk testing such a spiritual ability against a lethal opponent, he first tested with stones and branches.
Soon he could consistently freeze them in the air, keeping them in place so long as he kept his eyes locked. While he had Void Gaze active, he didn't seem to need to blink. He could feel something in his eyes changing, but decided not to go near any of the pools to look. Its appearance didn't matter, only its effect.
When he next confronted the Myogenecon he watched it charge him and waited until a safe distance to activate Void Gaze. The monster stopped cold, its empty skull eyes managing to convey shock, and then let out a roar. His Tyrant's Claw slashed straight across its chest and sent it tumbling backward.
He refused to let up, freezing it on the ground before it could rise and then bringing a Tyrant's Claw down overhead. The monster roared and managed to twist free as his eyes burned.
It chased him up one of the hills and Kai retreated until he could freeze it again, then he struck at one arm repeatedly until he severed it. This time the monster didn't try to use it as a weapon, just kept charging after him.
By the time they reached the top of the hill, the Myogenecon was looking ragged. It still struck with ferocious strength, but it was coming apart. He realized that if he pinned it down and used Isulfr's Bite, he could probably consume its essence. That would definitely be the safe decision, given how close it had come to killing him.

His new strength was clear just by the numbers, and he definitely felt it in his body. He almost wished that he had another Myogenecon to test his strength against, just for fun. Monstrous Hunger had also increased to Iota rank and he wasn't sure exactly when that had happened.
Suddenly his stomach rumbled and he wasn't sure what kind of hunger it represented. Kai began running back to civilization, realizing just how much he wanted a normal meal. Living off the flesh of his opponent sounded great, but right now he'd kill for a fucking vegetable.
