The Formless Night Shadow Sovereign Boundary Physique.
Ranked 14th in terms of strength.
Possessed both Shadow Attributed Laws, as well as Ghost Attributed Laws.
Secondary Origin Fae was the Black Copy Fae.
And this generations Formless Night Shadow, possessed a rather unique innate ability which increased it combat prowess even further. If one were to compare it to dozens of previous Formless Night Shadow wielders, it would undoubtably be within the top three or four.
In comparison to Arthur's Boundless Forest Yearning and associated abilities, in terms of pure combat, it was obvious to see the differences in strength in comparison between one Sovereign Boundary Physique and the other.
Forget this, the differences between the second ranked Stellar Karmic Reincarnation and the first ranked Euclidean World Theory was even larger than the divide between Arthur and the young man in front of him.
This was the first time for one of them.
At least, when it came to meeting another Sovereign Boundary Physique.
Although for Arthur.... this wasn't the first time meeting both this man, and the Formless Night Shadow.
"I'm surprised that you know the details of the Formless Night Shadow. I mean, every Secondary Origin Fae is uniquely powerful and is part of the reason why Sovereign Boundary Physiques are so strong. The Affection Tree Fae can inspire affection within the Heavens and the Earth, while-".
"The Black Copy Fae can create perfect replicas of the Fae Master. By perfect, despite the fact that they do not a physical form, very much like a Ghost, they are actually created from shadows, combined with Thoughts, Emotions and Desires. They can replicate origin essence signatures and killing intent, and they can even produce weight and sound like any other human being. The Black Copy Fae in of itself might as well be an Attribute Control Skill.....".
The blonde haired young man just smiled, leaning back in his chair slightly.
"Someone has been doing their homework".
Arthur nodded, tapping his armrest rhythmically.
"I've been doing my best to catch up".
The Formless Night Shadow just smiled, not elaborating further. He too had been doing a little digging into the Boundless Forest Yearning, discovering their destroyed Village as well as numerous mutated spirit beasts within the Region.
If one put two and two together, they would probably come to the conclusion that these mutated spirit beasts are what caused the destruction of Parachenko Village, as well as the Kovacs Clan.
However, it did seem strange that only nine members of the Kovacs Clan, and three babies would escape unharmed. Only Arthur was a Rank 3 Fae Master.
From what their investigation discovered, there was at least a Rank 4 Fae Master present, one with an Attribute Control Skill created by a former Rank 5 Fae Master. Even if Parachenko Village was destroyed, there should be more survivors than just this single group.
There wasn't any records of why this had happened either.
The source of the mutated spirit beasts hadn't been found either.
So it was either destroyed, absorbed or taken away.
Considering how sharp this Boundless Forest Yearning was, the Formless Night Shadow, as well as a few others within White Corpse City leaned towards the latter option.
The blond haired Fae Master just smirked, glancing at Arthur.
"I don't suppose you'd like to join the Nightime Demon Sect then? It isn't suitable for the Boundless Forest Yearning, however from what I'm told you also walk the path of Ghosts, isn't that right?".
Arthur nodded, not hiding anything.
"I have a tiny attainment in the path of Ghosts. Most of which is just me trying to compliment the Boundless Forest Yearning. In comparison to the Formless Night Shadow however, I must admit that I pale in comparison".
The other Fae Master just chuckled, rolling his eyes slightly.
The Formless Night Shadow Sovereign Boundary Physique was a dual Shadow-Ghost Attributed Physique. One that possessed an innate Law Image, from which, Shadow Attributed Laws and Ghost Attributed Laws could be perceived.
If there was anyone in the entire Thirty Three Heavens who could perceive Ghost Laws and walk the path of Ghosts, it was the Formless Night Shadow.
Born from the Shadow Race, it was the oldest recorded Sovereign Boundary Physique.
It also possessed a unique relationship to the Luminous Golden Light, but that wasn't a well known fact, even amongst Fae Immortals.
Arthur just shook his head, politely rejecting the offer.
"My path takes me towards the Viridian Greed Continent. The Boundless Forest Yearning possesses a close relation to the Eternal Samsara Tree. I cannot speak for all Sovereign Boundary Physiques, but I'm sure that even you would like to visit Lightless Heaven, or even Ocean Heaven if given the chance".
Arthur watched as the other man just sighed, nodding in affirmation.
"I suppose I am fortunate enough with just being this generations Formless Night Shadow. The secrets of previous wielders will have to wait for the time being.... Hmm? Is there something on my face? You have been staring for quite some time".
Arthur froze slightly, before showing a wry smile and shaking his head.
"Sorry. I'm just still quite surprised why someone like you would come all the way out here. The Overflowing Ocean Depths is someone who has close ties with my own Clan, and yet she didn't come out her to see me herself. Only you did, Mr Lew".
Vladimir Lew raised his eyebrows, still spinning the Black King in his hands.
He nodded a little bit before shrugging his shoulders.
"I am always interested in other Sovereign Boundary Physiques. Additionally, some of the Elders within my Sect wanted to see what your intentions were. I had told them, that if I were him, I'd head to the Viridian Greed Continent on a pilgrimage. And from what it seems I was correct....".
"And besides. I've heard rumours about the woman who possesses the Overflowing Ocean Depths and she is a little bit.... crazy, when it comes to fighting. As a practitioner of the School of War, all of her attacks are focused around combat, and despite being extraordinarily adept at martial arts and Attribute Control Skills, he attainment of Laws is.... not as good. She has only perceived Water Laws, and hasn't made much progress in regards to her Dark Attributed Laws. Although this information might be a little outdated....".
Arthur nodded, not alluding to anything.
Antanasia Marina was an extremely talented Fae Master. One with a grasp for combat far greater than either Vladimir, or the past Arthur. It was what allowed her to kill Vladimir in Arthur's previous life, but her attainment in Laws, or lack thereof, is what Arthur excelled in that allowed him to kill her.
Unlike the Black Copy Fae, which was one of the best supportive Secondary Origin Fae within combat, the Shark Tooth Fae was different, in that it was a Fae purely designed for combating enemies.
It was an extraordinarily large sword, one completely flat, yet serrated around the blades edge. The only way to describe it would be a the tooth of an Immortal Shark Species spirit beast. It could cut through just about anything like butter, and the regenerating properties of the Shark Tooth Fae allowed a Fae Master to continuously fight without having to worry about damages to the edge or to the Fae.
Not only that, but as time passed, the Shark Tooth Fae would grow bigger. Initially the size of a two-handed greatsword, it continuously grew bigger and bigger, to the point where it was closer to a claymore, or even a zweihander.
The Fae did have a drawback, which was that the Fae Master wielding it did have to possess an extraordinary physical strength. But other than that, which could be fixed by using Fae, or a specialized Attribute Control Skill, there wasn't any limits to the size that the Shark Tooth Fae could grow.
Within the
In History, the largest anyone had gotten the Shark Tooth Fae to grow was 2,000 metres. By that time, it was close to a hundred metres in terms of thickness, and yet it still possessed the same smooth spine and surface. It's shape was like a diamond, just like an actual shark's tooth.
Due to this power, the Overflowing Ocean Depths Sovereign Boundary Physique is ranked 9th in terms of combat power.
Five ranks higher than the Formless Night Shadow, and thirteen ranks higher than the Boundless Forest Yearning.
