I wanted to know more about these creatures before they got closer, fighting a creature I know absolutely nothing about would be stupid, the last time I heard about this type of creature was in the story Ivan told about his past and the way he his entire family died.
But Ivan's explanations were very vague at the time, knowing that he doesn't have all the time in the world to think I'm going with some generic plans anyway.
I use parallel thinking to split my mind into several different thought processes that I use to mentally give orders to all my Familiars at once directly into their minds.
"(Nix, I want you to capture 3 or 5 of these monsters while immobilizing them.)" (I)
"(Layla, I want you to test all the elements on these monsters and find out which one does the most damage.)" (I)
"(Orion, try ripping off limbs, breaking bones, or even splitting these creatures in half so we know their regeneration speed for different levels of damage.)" (I)
"(Ragnar, I want to know how much damage the Aura does to them, I also want to know if it interferes with their super awesome regeneration.)" (I)
"(Sakura and Hinata will stay with me while we face these enemies.)" (I)
"I'm pointing out in the vices mind where they should go, so go!" (I)
"Right." (Nix)
"I was about to go, let's see how they'll handle it... hahahahahaha..." (Layla)
"Seeing the level of damage we're capable of doing against an enemy like that will be good." (Ragnar)
"I along..." (Hinata)
"I can try absorbing their energy, I'd like to know what they're like..." (Sakura)
I simultaneously gave orders to everyone while informing everyone about where to go and what to do.
After that I kept my thoughts divided as I watched all my Familiars not to be hurt by unforeseen situations against these creatures.
It was a little heavy keeping my minds divided while keeping my Aura around, my head was hurting, but I held on by force.
Everyone running in different directions while I went towards a single one of these enemies that was stronger than the others due to the size of its Aura.
It only took me less than 1 minute to reach the Creature of the Abyss, in that time I realized that the closer I was, the more the environment was in disarray, I also realized that the presence of these Creatures was spreading death in the surroundings by simply being there.
I noticed death energy in their Auras, but it wasn't emanating from their Auras, more like it was being drawn to them or part of them.
The forest near the creature was completely different, the trees were drying up, the land had become barren, and all the flowers and plants were dying, all this was happening at great speed.
But I didn't have much time to appreciate the surroundings, as soon as I saw the creature I was attacked, I realized by the Aura that it was strong, but to my surprise, it just ran towards me.
He didn't have an appearance like that, the one in front of me looked like a humanoid walking on two legs while having long arms that extended down to his calf.
I also noticed that the skin was gray with black spots, they were all like that from what I could see through the eyes of my Familiars, their hands had long fingers with sharp claws emitting a part of their Aura that was even more disgusting being so close, the Aura of these Creatures of the Abyss seemed like some kind of continuation gnawing into space itself.
This thing had a very simple body, plus its head didn't have eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair, or anything else.
But as soon as I appear that creature opens 3 eyes in that blank face from before Those eyes were totally black to the point of looking like bottomless holes.
"Let's try this..." (I)
"< Elemental Territory >" (I)
I tried using a Territory based only on my Elemental Affinities, it was a Territory only 100 meters in area.
I instantly got a new sense of his Aura as he dodged his attack, this Abyss Creature's Aura seemed to be rejecting everything within its reach.
"< Blood Ruler's Sword >" (I)
I dodged while creating crystallized swords from my blood containing my Authority within their blades.
There were three swords that I could control with my mind, I slashed his arm with a sword, then pinned one to the top of his head as I slashed the other through their backs and out in front.
But even with those wounds he didn't cry out in pain or fear, he just wanted to keep attacking, I could see that his wounds weren't closing instantly like I was seeing happen through the eyes of other of my Familiars.
I keep attacking to drive him away from me, so far the only time this thing has shown any emotion is when I created my Territory.
I nod, so Sakura makes plants sprout from the ground pinning him in place giving Hinata time to place a hand on his head.
Soon Hinata started to open her mouth, then opened her mouth even more until it was so big and scary that it was big enough to kill everyone with one bite, it devoured the person's head.
At that moment the body falls to the ground as it dissolves, through the eyes of my other Familiars I also confirmed several things.
I saw Layla's attacks being almost without effect thanks to these creatures regenerating very quickly.
I also saw that Ragnar's Aura attacks were able to turn his enemy into whose.
It seems that Nix's efforts to capture these monsters have been impossible, these things managed to break free from Nix was something he didn't expect.
Orion was running nearby, I also told him to use his Holy Power.
I had understood enough to be able to fight these Creatures of the Abyss while seeing my Familiars.
I pass new orders to everyone as I go to Hinata who had something in her mouth, when I ask what she has in her mouth, then she puts a hand on each side opening it as much as she can revealing an oval crystal that looks more like a piece of coal emitting miasma, this was clearly the core we must destroy.
Seeming my intention to destroy these crystals, I see a glint of happiness in Hinata's eyes as she starts to chew on the crystal.
I wanted to ask why he did that, but instead of being concerned about it, I pass instructions to others and realized that these crystals that function as nuclei are not always in the same places.
Ragnar killed his enemy by cutting his body into pieces until he found where the crystal was, but even with the body in pieces the Creature of the Abyss was still regenerating, it seems that the crystal really is the only thing we can use to kill them.
I also saw Orion devouring one while his body was covered in red Flames, that was Holy Power, so he spits out one of these Christians before stomping on it crushing it completely.
I also saw Nix transform into her Dragon form and crush everyone below her along with her crystals among them, this is also a way to kill these things.
"There's more coming." (Sakura)
"< Consuming Seeds >" (Sakura)
I see Sakura launch seed shots that attach themselves to the monsters' bodies, but this time I noticed that one of the monsters had tough scales on its skin that protected it from Sakura's seeds.
Another thing was that the monster that didn't protect itself started to tremble when plants started to grow inside it destroying everything inside its body including the destroyed fat crystal.
I run at the other still with the swords of my Blood I created earlier floating around me as I attack, but in the middle of my attack a third arm grows from his back and his hands become coated in scales as he tries to hold my swords with your hands.
I take advantage of what he tried to do and cut him using my claws to rip his head off, I didn't do it without thinking, I used my Aura to feel his body looking for these crystals and found them in a short time, in case this one was inside yours head that crushes completely.
"What to do now?" (Sakura)
"There are more coming, we can't be surrounded." (I)
I run to an area where it will be more advantageous for me to fight while paying attention to my Familiars' battles to confirm something, these things were adapting during combat, my enemy took a long time to defend himself and understand what that thing was doing, but now it was clear why their appearance was changing.
These Creatures of the Abyss are adapting while they are fighting, they adapt during combat to meet the challenge of the moment.
"< Blood Field >" (I)
I spread my blood by creating some traps around the area which was a strong defensive area with many places where I was able to hide my traps.
Soon I hear something and I turn around only to see dozens of monsters like the last one coming towards me with no concern for anything but killing me and my Familiars.
