Shadows from different timelines, leftover battle traces from past lives, the rift torn open by the crystal abnormal creatures dragged into this place–and PineappleBeer herself.

Everything fell within the vortex’s pull.

Pineapple Beer finally turned around.

Her eyes were completely clear now as she looked at Riley and TartKing.

T… I think I have to leave

TariKing’s eyes turned red instantly.

“It’s gonna be fine. Pine! We’ll protect you!”

Pineapple Beer’s lips twitched. She’d normally fire back with a snarky reply, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it this time.

The Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast had been pushed back a few steps by the crystal’s violent burst.

Its black flames had torn open. leaving several silver–gray cracks across its bone armor.

But those cracks quickly sealed back up with starlight.

If anything, the crystal’s full eruption made the glow in the beast’s eyes burn brighter.

It fixed its gaze on the crystal, and on Pineapple Beer.

This wasn’t simple hatred.

It was pure hunger.

Ancient tomb monsters were naturally drawn to spacetime artifacts like this. That powerful, chaotic, rule- breaking energy was the finest nourishment it could ever find.

It wanted to devour the crystal.

It wanted to devour Pineapple Beer too, now that she was soaked in the crystal’s aura.

The Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast lowered its head and let out a low, rumbling roar.

The sound washed over the entire platform, flipping over all the already scattered factions on

The leader of the reddish–brown heavy armor squad raised his shield to block it, only for th shichi to get croded away by chaotic time currents. His face dropped. He abandoned the t

Unlock succeeded

The dark–biuc cloaked faction fell into total chaos as well.

Chapter 698 Beast’s True Craving

The scarred man dragged a spellcaster back while cursing under his breath. “Forget the loot! Retreas

The remaining black–cloaked assassins had already scattered, using floating rubble and shadows to hunt for an escape route.

The random survivor group fared the worst.

They’d never had a solid formation to begin with, and the crystal’s explosion left them with the heaviest casualties. Some got lifted into the air by the vortex. Others got caught in the beast’s residual shockwaves. half their bodies aging rapidly while the other half froze solid. Screams echoed nonstop across the platform.

All those who’d once hunted Pineapple Beer were now only focused on running for their lives.

The Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast moved again.

Its massive body squeezed through the cracked opening behind the throne. When its claws pressed down on the platform, the silver lines covering half the surface twisted out of shape under the weight.

It ignored all the fleeing survivors.

Its target never shifted–only PineappleBeer.

Pineapple Beer stood straight and grabbed the crystal’s chain.

The fractured crystal pressed close to her palm. Its glow crawled up her wrist, winding over her arm, her shoulder, her collarbone, before finally seeping into her eyes.

Her aura spiked upward once more.

The silver lines on her Shadow Rift Gloves overlapped with the faint phantom of her past–life gear. Layer after layer of temporal power wrapped around her entire body.

Riley could tell clearly.

The crystal was boosting her strength, but burning her out faster/every second.

“You two run. I’ll hold it back.”

Pineapple Beer spoke in a quiet, hoarse voice.

Riley didn’t step back.

She raised her axes and stepped forward to Pineapple Beer’s side.

TartKing refused to retreat either. Her staff flared to life in her grip, her jaw tight with deter

A moment later, she appeared right in front of the cluster of glowing eyes on the beast’s left side. Her

ger wrapped in chaotic light, stabbing hard into one of the silver starlight eyes.

“Squelch‘

No blood spilled out.

Only bursting starlight and black flame.

The beast flinched in pain and swiped its massive claw sideways

Pineapple Beer bent her body backward, narrowly dodging the claw’s edge. She twisted the crystal’s light. freezing the sweeping time currents in place for a split second.

Riley seized the opening and charged forward.

She swung her Storm Splitter Dual Axes straight for the joints of the beasts front claw.

Her Star–Breaker Gauntlets blazed bright. their Breaker’s Grip effect driving the axe blades into the cracks of the bone armor.

One clean strike tore a small half inch gash in the armor

But that was all it did.

The beast’s bone armor was tougher than the core armor of the Star Track Gatekeeper.
