Chereads / A Shadow's Reincarnation / Chapter 31 - Going Home

Chapter 31 - Going Home

1 million kilometers north of the Outer-Middle realms' Void Borders, Blake could be seen zooming past floating ruins and dead monster carcasses as he was only focused on going back home. Without the protection of his Void Emperor roommate, he who had only been traveling in the Void for 2 days already looked worse than back when he slaughtered his way through a nest of Void Wraiths 500 years ago. His clothes were in tatters and his face was black from the dust and soot while traveling at the speed of sound for the past 2 days.

Although the distance between his home realm and the Void Borders was a month's journey for normal travelers, since Blake had acquired his Mana core and broken through to Magic King realm in the past 4 years, he had more than enough Mana to reach home without taking breaks.

When his homesickness grew more and more noticeable as time passed on, he decided to increase his speed with 2 support spells, the first spell being an intermediate Magic Elder spell - Battle God Aura. As Blake's whole body was enveloped in a fiery red aura, he could feel a noticeable change after casting the spell.

Despite feeling more powerful after casting Battle God Aura on himself, Blake's vision had turned noticeably redder as he felt incredible bloodlust radiating out of his entire being.

'I see, so this was the downside of the intermediate level Magic Elder spell. Since my realm is still considered low, although the after effects of this spell may have decreased substantially, it is still noticeable. Haiz...oh well, let's just hope I don't lose my consciousness and enter berserk mode. It's going to be a pitiful sight after my berserk mode ends.' Blake ignored the downsides of the spell as he proceeded to cast the second movement spell.

Since the first spell he casted was Battle God Aura, he decided to pair that spell with a beginner level Magic King spell - Flower Maiden's Grace. When Flower Maiden's Grace is layered upon Battle God Aura, the magical properties of the flower purified the negative effects of Battle God Aura, clearing his vision and dispelling his thirst for blood.

Following that, Blake felt a surge of life energy coursing through his body as the casted spell replenishes his lost Mana. Within 3 breaths of time, Blake was back to his peak once again.

And with that, he flies towards his home realm with even greater speed like never seen before.

3 days later...

Blake was flying in the empty Void when a beam of rainbow energy suddenly flew towards him at lightning speed. Since he was going at 3 times the speed of light in a straight line, if he were to do an emergency maneuver to avoid the attack, his organs would have been crushed by the inertia following that dodge.

Realizing that the trajectory of the energy beam was aimed perfectly to hit his chest if he didn't dodge it didn't help at all as he could only grit his teeth as he quickly casted several magic barriers to protect himself from the incoming attack.

As the energy beam came closer to Blake, he couldn't help but gasp for breath as he felt the Heaven destroying and Earth shattering power contained within that one attack. Just the pressure it emitted from that one beam of energy had already shattered all the barriers erected by him within one breath of time.

'Shit! This attack was sent out by someone stronger than both Martial Angel realm and Magic Saint realm combined?! Why was there a master like that here? And why was he attacking me??' As his mind raced to think of a way to dodge this attack, a shadow suddenly flew out of his pocket before releasing a purple barrier to block the incoming attack. It was the black token with a golden death word engraved on it!

Blake felt both excited and worried when he saw the token. He felt excited since he knew that barrier was strong enough to block an attack from a peak level Void King and saw hope in surviving this disaster.

He was worried however that the barrier formed by the black token wasn't strong enough to completely block off the attack. Therefore, once the purple barrier showed signs of breaking, Blake was ready to just halt his breaks and make a decisive turn to escape to another realm.

As Blake and the beam got closer to one another, Blake casted an advance level Magic Master body enhancing spell - Iron Wall on his organs to keep them safe before bracing for impact himself. But just as the energy beam was about to hit the purple barrier surrounding Blake, the token emitted a dazzling light before it sucked in that energy attack like it was drinking water.

'Like this also can ah?! How powerful is my token then?' But before he could answer these questions. His eyes widened and beads of sweat trickled down his face as a space shattering pressure descended onto him, completely disregarding the purple barrier's defense as if it were air.

"Gah!" Because he was halted so suddenly, even if he had already reinforced his organs with magic, the inertia he felt from being stopped suddenly made his insides tumble before coughing out blood.

"You're the new Saint of Chaos?" A deep and magnetic voice suddenly resounded inside Blake's mind.

"What Saint of Chaos?? Who are you?" Blake grimaced in pain as he felt his Spiritual Sea split apart from the mysterious voice's question.

*Battle God Aura is an intermediate level fire elemental spell that boosts the stats of its caster and its surrounding allies by 40%. You have to be a Magic Elder or stronger to utilize this spell. The duration of this spell is also based on the caster's amount of mana as it chips away 0.01% of the caster's mana every five seconds. (Blake derived Battle God Aura from reading and playing King's Glory too much.)

*Flower Maiden's Grace is a beginner level wood and light elemental spell that purifies the target's negative effects as well as clears away the person's fatigue, thus reinvigorating the target with vitality. (Blake derived Flower Maiden's Grace from reading and playing King's Glory too much.)
