Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Gravernox Unleashed
Dargan’s eyes burned with fury as the wreckage of his Flaregul squad smoldered behind Liora.

He dismounted Gravernox slowly, slamming a control rod into the beast’s armored neck.

“You think this is over?” he growled.

Fiona adjusted her drone angle from cover, zooming in on the scene.

“Chat, he’s not backing down. He’s calling something in—wait—”

Dargan spread his arms. “Gravernox… fuse with me.”

The beast let out a guttural snort.

Its blood-tempered armor began to shift, crack, and reform.

Fiona’s jaw dropped. “Oh no.”

The red-black mineralized fluid pouring from Gravernox’s spine surged upward.

It wrapped around Dargan’s limbs.

Bone-iron plates snapped into place across his shoulders, chest, and jaw.

His legs bulked with monstrous mass as boar hooves replaced boots.

Tusks cracked through his faceplate, and his skin flushed deep crimson.

In moments, Dargan stood fully transformed.

A towering boar-man hybrid, wrapped in bone-spiked siege armor.

@Ashfall: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

@TamerTrash: FUSION?! WITH A SOVEREIGN BEAST?!

@WraithFox: HE LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER

@SunbringerZ: OKAY THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A PROBLEM

—

“You’re strong,” Dargan said.

His voice now layered with Gravernox’s guttural growl.

“But don’t think you can take me lightly.”

He slammed his fused foot into the ground.

Cracks raced out in all directions.

“I’m no soft noble. I’m an enforcer. Trained in blood. I don’t lose.”

Liora tilted her head, smiling through her visor.

“Is that what you think?” she said.

“My sister defeated Victor Aurelius. And Nyxfang.”

Dargan snarled.

“That was just beasts against beasts. Young Master Victor is still growing.”

He cracked his fused knuckles.

“I am grown. I am tempered. I am strength forged from duty.”

“You’re a corpse,” Liora replied flatly.

He lunged.

Fiona backed farther into the ruins.

“Okay, chat.”

“He just fused with a Sovereign-tier juggernaut.”

“That thing’s called Gravernox—it’s a siege-class war beast!”

She ducked under a crumbling steel beam as shockwaves tore across the ruins.

“This guy’s not bluffing. His charge just split a wall!”

@MoonByte: This is the boss fight. THIS IS THE BOSS FIGHT.

@CoreBurst: He’s breaking terrain just by walking

@SilverSunOrDie: But Liora’s still SMILING

@FionyxOnFire: Stream’s stable. We’re not leaving until this ends

—

Liora sidestepped as Dargan rushed toward her.

The ground buckled beneath each step of his monstrous form.

His tusk-arm slammed through where she’d stood an instant before.

Liora glided backward, boosters flaring from the soles of her warframe.

She spun midair, her gauntlets shifting.

“Load: Execution Claws. Level Three,” she commanded.

Leon responded.

Silver energy surged around her hands.

Armor split, extending vicious claw-like blades from her gauntlets.

Each edge gleamed with solar-tipped plasma.

“You think those toys scare me?!” Dargan snarled, lunging again.

He twisted with terrifying speed.

His fused form was no longer bulky but fast and deadly.

His Bonehook Spikes lashed from his sides like coiled whips.

Liora raised her arms to block.

Sparks erupted as the spikes scraped her gauntlets.

She hissed and kicked off him, flipping into a somersault midair, then landed low.

“Tch. Faster than expected.”

@SilverSunOrDie: HE’S ACTUALLY KEEPING UP??

@Ashfall: I THOUGHT Liora would slap him in 5 seconds flat!

@FionyxOnFire: That Gravernox fusion’s no joke…

—

Dargan roared, slamming both fists into the ground.

The Iron-Blood Pulse Core ignited in his chest, radiating violent heat and tremors.

A ripple of blood-hardened metal surged outward, shattering debris and knocking Liora off balance.

He charged.

“TUSKGRIND EXECUTION!”

His twin tusks rotated like massive drills, spinning at high velocity.

Liora barely managed to cross her claws in time.

The impact sent her skidding across the ground, leaving gouged trails through stone.

Sparks exploded off her armor. Her visor flickered for a second.

Fiona gasped from her hiding spot.

“Chat—she just got blown back!”

“That tusk spin nearly cracked her whole defense!”

@TamerTrash: THAT’S THE MOVE THAT SPLIT A WALL TANK

@CoreBurst: Liora’s staggered?!

@MoonByte: Don’t panic. Her suit hasn’t hit critical. She’s still good

—

Liora stood again, flexing her fingers.

“Alright,” she muttered. “You want to trade brute force?”

The armor along her back split.

From it, dual silver railblades extended.

Massive twin sabers hummed with charged solar edges.

“Load: Titan Edge. Left and right.”

She blurred forward in a flicker-step.

Dargan raised his arms, grinning. “COME ON THEN!”

They clashed.

The first railblade carved across his side, slicing shallow through armor.

His spike-covered shoulder slammed into her gut, sending her flying again.

She recovered midair—twisted—and hurled the second railblade like a javelin.

It hit him square in the chest.

Dargan roared as sparks and blood-metal exploded outward, but he stood firm.

“You HIT me. You HURT me,” he growled, stomping forward.

“Good. Now I don’t have to hold back.”

Liora landed on one knee, one arm smoking.

“Leon. Execute overdrive buffer.”

Silver energy surged around Liora as Leon’s overdrive buffer kicked in.

Her suit’s joints flared with raw light, the solar core within humming louder.

She rose fast and raised her railblade with both hands.

“Boost confirmed.”

Dargan grunted. “Doesn’t matter.”

He slammed his foot down, triggering a seismic tremor.

The ground cracked, and from beneath, red-hot spikes of compacted earth and blood-forged metal erupted.

His Earthen Momentum drew power directly from the terrain.

Liora jumped, just barely dodging the skewers.

Midair, she twisted, boosters flaring behind her heels.

She dropped straight down like a spear—railblade first.

“Titan Edge—cut depth override.”

The silver blade cleaved downward, landing a direct hit against Dargan’s fused shoulder.

The force crushed his left side to one knee.

But he didn’t fall.

He laughed.

“You think pain stops me?”

His core pulsed red.

Bloodrage Stampede.

He exploded upward with terrifying force, grabbing her by the waist mid-motion.

“You’re fast,” he snarled.

“But I don’t need fast.”

His tusks glowed red-hot.

“I just need this—”

He turned mid-charge and slammed her full-force into the side of a ruined skyscraper.

The wall didn’t just crack—it disintegrated.

Concrete and rebar exploded outward as Liora’s body crashed through three floors in a single instant.

@Ashfall: OH MY GOD

@SilverSunOrDie: HE JUST YEETED HER INTO A BUILDING

@WraithFox: LIORA?!?

@MoonByte: HER ARMOR—

@CoreBurst: She’s not down. She’s not down. She better not be

—

Dust choked the sky as a floor collapsed above her.

Liora’s body was buried under a mess of rubble, smoke, and warped steel.

But her beacon still pulsed faintly.

She wasn’t done yet.
