GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1036 Hours Of Fighting.

The battlefield is Ragnarok's. He is in total control of it and it is very large too. It could be as large as he wants it to be or as small as he wishes. It is very large right now because of the titanic octopus within it. The space doesn't seem to have an end and no one can interfere in their fight since it is an enclosed space so he has all day. He stayed out of reach of the tentacles while he sniped at Marlinto with the black beam of devouring.

He can do more damage with his bite and his claws but he is not willing to risk letting Marlinto get his bloody tentacles on him. He might be crushed without being able to fight back. Marlinto is much stronger than him. So being cautious is wise. Except that his current attack is not enough to threaten Marlinto.

A vampire can regenerate with blood power. That regeneration factor becomes unbelievable when you have an almost infinite supply of blood power. Ragnarok is devouring the blood power as fast as he can but it cannot put a dent in the supply of a Primogenitor. Still, he didn't rush. He didn't do anything else either. He had nothing else that he could use so he kept up with what he was already doing.

The other primogenitors are watching the fight. They are not worried about the outcome. They are even commenting cheerfully about it.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Marlinto was right. This Ragnarok is obviously special but he is nothing much. I think we overestimated his level of threat."

They didn't believe Marlinto before but seeing is believing. Now no one can take Ragnarok seriously without being considered a joke. Ragnarok is just a bug that knows only to run.

"That may be true for now. But Ragnarok is very young. He still has more room to grow and he can grow even faster by devouring Vampires. I believe we should eliminate him now that we have the chance."

"I agree. Marlinto was wrong about Ragnarok being amendable to the Vampires. The Warrog mutt obviously can't be brought to our side. If he can't be with us, then he is against us and should be eliminated."

"That is truly Marlinto's mistake. He thought that Ragnarok would become reasonable now that he has power."

A Primogenitor sneered, "Marlinto thought too highly of a Warrog. They are just beasts that should be eliminated or used as prey no matter how strong they become."

"I don't think we should eliminate the possibility of cooperation yet. Ragnarok asked for cooperation."

"He asked to leave the plane in exchange for not siding with anyone. That is not cooperation. That is an insult. He truly believes we would let him go after what he has done."

"He is dead now anyway. I doubt anyone apart from the Supreme of Carnage can talk Marlinto out of killing the poor boy."

They chatted cheerfully amongst themselves. Most of their talks were about how Ragnarok has bitten more than he can chew. All he is doing is running around like a headless chicken. A single mistake will lead to his end. They can't take him seriously as a threat or as a future ally. He doesn't have the strength to be either.

Only Drastoic had something else to say. "This Ragnarok is special. I think we are underestimating him. Marlinto has not broken his domain yet and it has been hours since the fight began. That is extraordinary for such a weak entity to achieve."

That made them pause. They know what Drastoic said and while they think it is special, it won't change Ragnarok's fate. It doesn't matter that Ragnarok has been able to withstand the pressure of the existence of an enemy that is vastly more powerful than him within his domain. That won't do him any good because he doesn't have the strength to kill Marlinto. But they don't want to argue against Drastoic.

Drastoic is the first Vampire of this plane. He is also the strongest. He is a dark elf like most of them but no one can compare to him in terms of strength or influence. So no one wants to outright say that Ragnarok shouldn't be admired to his face. They agreed unenthusiastically with him and resumed their chatting. But the conversation entered a lull because of that interjection.

The quiet Secula finally spoke. He said, "Marlinto is now 9,382 meters tall. It has also been 12 hours, 40 minutes, and 40 seconds since the fight started."

That drew everyone's attention. They considered what he said but they didn't get it.

"That's true. The fight has gone on for almost 13 hours now."

"This Ragnarok is truly something. I can't believe he survived for that long." Someone said in admiration.

Someone snickered and said, "More like he ran for that long."

"It is easy to survive when all you have to do is run."

That caused them to laugh. But they are all feeling uneasy. It is just that no one wants to show it or admit it. They feel that something about this fight isn't right. Ragnarok has survived for too long for him to be underestimated. There must be something about him that has enabled him to fight a Primogenitor in mere hours from when he was a mana entity.

"Marlinto must be very pissed right now. It must be such a shame that he can't even kill such a pest after so long and so much effort."

"It is a shame indeed. He even used his true form and he failed. This is disgraceful but also fun to watch."

They laughed and jeered as they watched the fight. Marlinto can hear them but he is not saying anything to defend himself. Any excuse he gives will be an admittance of weakness. He doesn't want to admit weakness and neither do the other Primogenitors. They all want to believe that Ragnarok will die soon after enduring the onslaught of the true form of a Primogenitor.contemporary romance
