Chapter 155 - 206-217

Chapter 206 - Boss Battle

*BOOOOOOOM*

The two cannons released a hyperactive dark red beam that was covered in black lightning.

The destructiveness was tremendous, but the invisible barrier remained as it was.

[ Due to your damage reaching the requirement of Boss battle, No further testing will be needed, and you will get one chance to participate in Boss battle. ]

[ You will be teleported to Boss-zone in the second layer battlefield in one second. ]

" One second?.."

Athan disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in a chaotic region where many people were attacking a single monster.

This monster was a humanoid monster with eight hands but two legs.

Its two legs were the most significant part of its body as they resembled two small mountains.

Its eight hands were constantly waving here and there, releasing myriads of attacks.

At this time, Athan heard a voice in his head.

[ Attack the boss monster while surviving from the myriads of attacks. The rewards will be allocated to those who survive based on their damage to the monster. ]

Athan understood what he needed to do and grinned, ' Nice. A perfect battlefield to display all of my advantages. '

From the number of people around the monster, There were approx four hundred people of different races.

The monster had a size of 700 meters tall, including its giant legs.

Its giant face had four eyes that also occasionally released large-scale field attacks, which caused much trouble to the people around the monster.

The monster couldn't move from its position, but its eight hands were capable of releasing attacks that were long-range and powerful.

Suddenly, A blue field that was crackling with red lightning started to expand as it covered everyone.

" This move again?...Damn."

A person that was several meters away from Athan muttered and hurridly formed defensive barriers and shields around him.

Athan could also feel something was wrong with this field that covered him, but he couldn't sense any threats from it.

But even though he couldn't feel threats, He decided to prepare and floated in the air before a throne materialized under him on which he sat down, and a dreamy robe also appeared on him.

Lucent and DeathKnight had already merged the armament fragments hours ago when Athan wandered in the cloud space aimlessly, and they were long eager to help their Master.

Seeing that Athan didn't put any barriers around him, the person that was several meters away from him snorted and said, " As a fellow human, I advise that you hurriedly put up some defenses and be ready for the attack. After this attack, that monster will be weakened, and that is when everyone will use their big guns to kill the monster. "

" Looks like this is not your first in this Boss zone. "

Hearing Athan, The man spoke with pride, " I was in top 10 in a previous boss battle, and I won another chance recently, so I am here. But you..." The man paused as he narrowed his eyes and realized, " So you ascended from level one battlefield, and your damage met the requirement to participate in the boss battle. Your second stage altar spirit should be offensive if you met the requireme-"

" It's starting... " The man suddenly stopped speaking and prepared himself for the attack.

Athan also felt a slight threat suddenly and used his Blood magic: Vindication covenant, But differently as several layered blood barriers appeared around him.

Right then, The red lightning that was coursing throughout the blue field turned crazy as they increased in size and intensity and started raining on everyone.

This rain of deadly red lightning continued for a whole minute as everyone on the battlefield was injured to some extent, except a few people.

Athan was also fine.

Right after this was over, Everyone was hyped as they started attacking the monster that became sluggish with its head swaying in a daze and its eight hands that were aimlessly flooding around it.

Athan also started attacking with his long-range attacks while dodging the occasional swing of the giant hands that came towards his direction.

He had used his Blood magic: Demolition Covenant as not three but six orbs floated as they continuously released the power lasers. He didn't

t have to worry about energy, so he didn't hold back at all.

" Skylord, Gear 1st: Extreme Welsh Impact. Full Power and aim at its head. "

" Yes, Master. "

" DeathKnight, full power Deathly Bound. "

" Right away, Master. "

The two cannons behind Athan's back shined as they turned into a large Rifle with a tiny barrel.

The Rifle was one meter long, and it rested on Athan's left shoulder. The Rifle's surface was not red plated like cannon's but grey surface with golden patterns.

Athan activated the Rifle as it started to glow with black light.

" Space locked, Marked, Activate. "

In front of the Rifle's small barrel, a tremendous amount of condensed black energy gathered before it was capsulized into a golden orb with grey patterns on it.

" Release. "

The orb disappeared, and in the next second, It directly hit the forehead of the humanoid monster.

But this attack was one of many that hit the monster from all directions.

Skylord and DeathKnight ran out of the gas, so Athan decided to let them rest, but he didn't pause for even a second and continuously attacked the monster with his spells.

He thought of letting out Lucky and let it attack the monster but decided against it since it wouldn't increase his overall damage that much.

The monster was starting to crumble with so many attacks aimed at it.

Athan wanted to take first, and he was sure that he would get first because each of his attacks was full-powered, and he released them each second.

' Hmmm...For insurance, I should use my genome powers too. ' Athan thought and released four Chasm Severings towards the monster.

All four were aimed at its thick neck.

*chrreeeeeee...*

The four purple slashes one by one hit the same place as they slowly but surely severed the head of the monster.

Thus, Bringing an end to this boss battle.

" Impossible..."

" What the....!! "

" Those four purple slashes should from the same person, but...how can one person sever the head of this monster? I call bull shit! "

Many people were in disbelief that a single person's attack managed to sever the head of this monster. It was simply impossible and unimaginable at their level.

Athan smiled wryly and thought, ' Ahh, Chasm severing...you really sever anything disregarding the chasm in-between. Truly an apt name for the skill. '

The human race person that was several meters away from Athan had his mouth wide opened, and jaw dropped to the ground, ' Did our human race had such a person? But if he posses this kind of power, why had nobody heard of him? What the hell is going on? '

Chapter 207 - Rewards, General Level Two Battlefield

[ Congratulation! You have dealt the most significant damage in the boss battle and won a peak-grade spirit rule enchantment, spirit evolution orb, and a soul jade fruit. ]

Athan saw three items appearing inside his Erudite palace.

Sensing them, DeathKnight and Skylord, who were recovering their energy, directly dashed towards them.

DeathKnight's aim was the peak-grade spirit rule enchantment, and Skylord's aim was spirit evolution orb.

Lucent, who was in its armament form, released a cry of sadness, " Masterrrrrr..."

Athan was speechless seeing their behaviors, " You guys are getting naughty day by day. "

He then directly swept up the things before DeathKnight and Skylord could grab hold of them.

DeathKnight and Skylord paused in their dash and said embarrassingly, " cough...Master, seeing those things invokes our instinct, so we can't help ourselves...hehehe. "

Athan shook his head while smiling and checked the things he got.

The spirit evolution orb looked like a small light blue orb with white sparks inside it, and the soul jade fruit looked like a golden fruit that looked similar to a mango.

Athan was going to distribute the things, but suddenly, He frowned.

Outside, The human race man was approaching Athan with a smile on his face.

Seeing him, Athan asked with him a plain face, " What do you want? "

The man stopped, and he smiled even more and spoke enthusiastically, " My name is Rakulen. I wonder if your eminence can tell me your honorable name? "

Athan was dumbfounded at the politeness and felt cringe as goosebumps appeared on his skin, ' What the hell? '

" Cough...My name is Athan and stop with this politeness. "

Rakulen smiled and said, " Lord Athan. Although I've never heard of you before, I am sure you will reach great heights. We will be separated shortly, but if we ever meet again, Do not hesitate to ask for my assistance as I'll be delighted to help you. "

Athan didn't know what type of ghost possessed this fellow that he became like this, but he could guess the reason, ' Looks like he saw me releasing Chasm Severing. '

[ You will be teleported to the general level two battlefield. Earn points to participate in another boss battle. ]

" Looks like it's time. Don't forget my words, Lord Athan. If we ever meet again. Don't hesitate to ask for my aid. "

Athan was speechless, but thankfully, he was teleported to another place in the next second.

He looked around and was surprised to find that the scenery around him was beautiful and peaceful with natural ponds, Jungles, and clear air with a sun in the sky.

" Is this general level two battlefield? "

*roarrrrrrr.....*

Athan looked behind him and saw a giant 100-meter tall bear with dark gold armored skin with sharp grey claws that shone with a red hue.

" Skylord, Can you defeat this bear alone? "

Skylord came out in the miniature form and checked out the bear before saying, " Err...I can defeat this fellow in one shot. After all, My forte is pure offensive. "

Hearing this, Athan grinned, " Then go and defeat it. If you win, I will give you the spirit evolution orb. "

Skylord roared in excitement and immediately turned into its complete form that was no smaller than the bear.

Skylord released four different types of attacks from its four colorful wings that only contained pure offensive power.

The bear roared as its body shined with dark gold color before its thick skin became even thicker and tougher.

Athan was looking at another spot in the direction bear because this bear was not a monster but an altar spirit of a person.

The Skylord's initial attack slightly injured the bear, but as a counter-attack, It swept its giant claws towards Skylord as two big greyish red claws projectiles released.

Skylord couldn't dodge because the attack was fast, and the projectiles were massive.

Skylord didn't have any means to defend because its power only contained offensive attributes. Thus, It released another attack from its wings.

Both attacks clashed, but Skylord's attack broke apart the claw projectiles and continued towards the bear.

The bear's face changed as it cried out, " Master, This attack will injure me even more. Please save me. "

Right then, A barrier appeared around the bear that blocked the attack of Skylord.

Seeing this, Athan was surprised, " Hmm...another second stage altar spirit. "

Athan could feel that this barrier exuded similar power to the one possessed by altar spirits and guessed that this person had another second stage altar spirit.

" Come out already. No point in hiding anymore. "

A woman of Crysax race came out from the thick jungle and looked at Athan with a smile, " Not bad for a human. '

" Not bad for a human? " Athan repeated and shook his head, " Why do you all look down on the human race? You greater five races have only one advantage called innate talent, but it isn't even that impressive. "

The woman had crystallized dark green hairs and skin. Hearing Athan, she snorted and said, " You must have only met individuals who couldn't unlock the full potential of their innate talent. Otherwise...Humph, you wouldn't be standing here right now. "

Athan grinned and said, " Why don't you show me the full potential of your innate talent then? "

The woman chuckled in disdain and said, " You are lucky and unlucky both. Lucky because you arrived at a relatively peaceful area in this second-level battlefield and unlucky because you encountered me. "

Suddenly, The woman's face changed as she hurridly put up a barrier in front of her as six blood-red lasers hit the barrier.

Cracks appeared on the barrier, but it ultimately blocked the attack.

The woman's face turned awful as she said, " Looks like you are really in a hurry to die. "

Her body then started shining as armor appeared on her, A helmet on her head and claws on her hands.

In addition to that, Four wings also appeared on her back as she instantly dashed towards Athan with six sharp crystals floating behind her.

Athan was surprised because he could feel that all three of her altar spirits were in the second stage, " But....It's of no use. "

With a snap of his finger, The woman's face turned into a shocked one as countless obstacles appeared in front of her in the form of beasts and weapons.

But she snorted when she realized that they were not that strong and released beams from the six crystals floating behind her.

Each beam penetrated more than two beasts and killed them while the weapons couldn't damage her as a barrier formed around her.

" Prepare to die, idiot. Conjuring these useless things will only consume your energy."

*snap*

" What!.."

*snap*

*snap*

*snap*

" Y-you...what is this sorcery? Why aren't you running out of your energy? "

Athan signed and said, " Even I don't entirely know about that. Anyway, Goodbye. "

After constantly fighting for an hour with Athan's army, the woman was exhausted, ran out of energy, and finally died by Athan's hands.

Athan then slowly walked towards her almost intact corpse as he wanted to search her inner space.

Previously, He mostly destroyed their inner spaces as he couldn't hold back because he was in a lower plane and used the most powerful attacks to defeat the enemies.

But this time, He didn't damage the inner space of this woman and left it intact.

Most people would choose to self-destruct their inner space or simply destroy it if they think they can't survive because who would want to let their enemies get precious things that belonged to them?

Inner space refers to the Erudite palace. After people create their Erudite palace, They put most of their things in them.

Soul realms are destroyed with their deaths, and the genesis realm and energy realm remain intact if they are not damaged during the fight.

" Oh...looks like this woman gathered a few good things. "

Chapter 208 - Level Two Battlefield, Boss Zone.

" It's been more than an hour since the effects of Athan's soul technique wore off...Do you think something happ- "

" Nothing can happen to Athan. " Tiana interrupted Avelia and spoke with conviction.

" True..." Avelia also nodded, but then she appeared thoughtful and guessed, " The only plausible reason I can think of is that he went to the second level battlefield. "

Tiana nodded with a smile, " That should be the case. But it's ok. Now that we are on the same level as the people here, We can take care of ourselves. "

Avelia chuckled, " True. Then let's continue and fill up our gauge. We can't let Athan get too far ahead of us. "

...

Mike and Qerin also arrived at the same conclusion as they continued fighting.

" Qerin, It's likely that bro is already in the second level battlefield. But...That's fair enough. We were likely slowing him down, but no more of that. "

Qerin nodded with a competitive spirit, " We'll have to work hard and catch up to him. "

...

Athan was currently fighting against a horde of flying beasts, and he had no problem killing them as they turned into white light and gave him points.

" Maximum range, Myriad Illusionary Field. "

Lucent channeled its power as Athan used the second ability of Lucent that it got after reaching the second stage of Spirit Armament.

A blue light shone from the fancy and high-tech-looking robe that Athan wore as a light blue sparky field expands from him that covered a one-kilometer area around him.

The hundred or so beasts that were scattered lost their mind as they started attacking each other.

Athan nodded with a smile and thought, ' This ability is indeed good. It looks like Lucent is moving towards a control-type offensive altar spirit and not a control-type defensive. '

...

Several hours ago, Athan took out a few things from the inner space of the crysax race woman.

She had two peak-grade spirit rule enchantments and several lower-grade rule enchantments. Additionally, He also got two Spirit Evolution orbs from her and many menima crystals.

Altar spirits can recover their energy by using menima crystals, so they were pretty significant on the battlefield.

The mysterious thing was that...He couldn't sense what kind of power was contained in the peak-grade spirit rule enchantment that he got in this layer.

He guessed that they were not entirely complete like the one he got from the ifrit dandraif castle.

But this was a good thing because he also guessed that they would be complete when his altar spirit used them.

The peak-grade spirit enchantment used by Skylord contained wholly offensive power, so if he gave it to Lucent or DeathKnight, They might not bring out its full potential.

On the other hand, The spirit rule enchantments he got here were flexible. It was like they will shape into the power according to their altar spirits' thoughts and affinity when they merge it into their soul altar.

Athan had already given peak-grade spirit rule enchantment to DeathKnight and Lucent as they reached the second stage. He also finished the first stage of the Spirit Astride plane after DeathKnight, and Lucent spirit enchanted him like Skylord by merging their newly gained power into the Erudite palace.

By the end of the process, His primal core's capacity increased twofold. His magic core's capacity also expanded one fold, and his soul body reached 89 meters tall. He still had yet to eat the Soul jade fruit.

He then converted the extra spirit rule enchantments into points because this battlefield was different from the first-level battlefield.

Here, The rewards are based on contribution. If one was attacking a powerful beast and brought it to half death and then if someone came and stole the kill, The rewards would be based on who dealt the highest damage to the beast.

Points were used to buy the entry into the Boss zone.

...

Presently, The beasts were attacking each other inside this second ability of Lucent that could show illusions and control the beasts.

Each beast saw another beast as Athan, and that's why there were attacking each other. Furthermore, each beast had the illusion that all others beasts were attacking the same target as them.

But there was not all to this ability.

" Extinguish. "

Athan muttered as all of the beasts that lost their mind instantly died and turned into white light.

Once the enemies are under control in this Myriad Illusionary Field, Athan could directly attack their soul or core and kill them.

After all of the flying beasts that looked like vultures with two heads died, Athan tapped on his wrist with " 2 " on it.

He was not doing this to get the rewards because the rewards were directly sent to people after killing the beasts.

He tapped on the wrist because the gauge around the " 2 " was filled up, and he could now enter into the boss zone. Here, The battlefield gauge is filled by the points that one acquires.

One can acquire points by killing beasts or converting rewards into points. The beasts give more rewards on this battlefield, such as Menima crystals, armament fragments, and spirit rule enchantments of high to low grade depending on the beasts' strength and groups.

The one Athan just defeated was the weakest beast group he encountered so far. Still, it was enough to fill his gauge because he had converted many things into points and even defeated some powerful beasts in the last several hours.

To enter the third level battlefield, All three of his altar spirits need to reach the third stage of the spirit armament.

Currently, none of his altar spirits were in the third stage because it takes time to progress from the second stage to the third stage of the spirit armament.

One can speed up this process with spirit evolution orbs, but Athan had yet to give them to his altar spirits because he wanted to gather more.

[ You have acquired enough points to enter the boss zone. Would you like to enter into a new boss zone or an ongoing boss zone? If you choose an ongoing boss zone, 50% of the points will be refunded after the boss monster is defeated. ]

Athan was surprised because he didn't know about such a thing. If he knew that, he would have chosen to enter the boss zone when his gauge was filled up to 50%.

" Oh well...I can consecutively finish off two bosses. "

Athan chose to enter the ongoing boss zone and appeared at a place where lightings were crackling in the sky. At the same time, approximately three hundred people were attacking a giant Kraken monster that stayed in the water.

Athan appeared in the air while sitting on his throne and looked around.

Below him was a vast body of water and on it, A giant Kraken monster that attacked people with bolts of colorful lightning from its fifteen or so tentacles.

He also saw some corpses floating on the water below and also noticed that some people had a desperate look on their faces, ' looks like this boss monster is more powerful than that eight-handed humanoid monster. '

Right then, He saw two lightning bolts, one dark green and one bright red coming at him in a blink of an eye. More specially, these thick bolts were big, so they covered 20 meters around him, including four people.

Athan was surprised because these two bolts were fast and arrived at him in a blink of an eye after being released from one tentacle of Kraken.

He didn't get the chance to put up any defense as he tasted the power of these lightning bolts.

Athan blanked out for a second before feeling some pain that lasted for another second before he muttered, " Thanks, bud. "

DeathKnight used its second ability right after lightning bolts powered over Athan and protected him. Of course, Athan could also use this ability, but he knew that DeathKnight would do it for him.

DeathKnight's first ability was offensive, while the second ability turned out to be defensive, and even DeathKnight was confused at that time. But It accepted this result and was happy with it because this defensive ability quite powerful.

" So that's why people here constantly had a barrier around them. "Athan finally understood this after tasting the lightning bolts of the giant Kraken.

Chapter 209 - Powerful Kraken, Risky Move.

" Everyone, use all of your power and hit the monster's head. If we continue like this, Many of you will die. I know all of our capacity of holding more primal energy and magic energy has increased. Still, if my guess is correct, this monster will not show any sign of weakness because it likely won't use any ultimate move. The longer we delay, the weaker we will become. "

A loud voice reverberated from a specific place on this boss zone where a woman of Terred race was floating. She let out a tremendous amount of energy around her and was letting out a dark red aura that was more powerful than anything Athan had seen, except his genome power.

Many people seemed to have recognized her and were convinced by her words.

Many people were desperate because they have to maintain a barrier constantly. After all, the attacks of this Kraken were fast and came unexpectedly.

The bolts of colorful lightings disappeared after the Kraken shoot them from its tentacles, and no one can pinpoint their location. That was the reason why Athan couldn't prepare for the lightning bolts that came towards him previously.

Right now, Athan had several barriers around him, with the main one being the barrier of blood magic.

" How do you know that the Kraken won't release any ultimate move? "

The terred race women looked in a direction where three humans were inside one barrier and said coldly, " If you think otherwise, then tell us about it. This Kraken initially had twelve tentacles, but the number of tentacles suddenly increased by three ten minutes ago, causing its attack frequency to increase. "

When Athan looked at the three humans, He was shocked.

' That middle-aged man...I remember him. He was the teacher at Myriad stars academy. His name...I think it was Segan. '

But he didn't have any intention to meet him or listen to that terred race woman. Athan knew that she was a real deal who had unlocked the full potential of her talent and would continue to get stronger as she breakthroughs to higher planes.

Many people of the Greater five races have innate talent because their ancestors reached the peak of power in this universe and also because they opened the passages in their legendary sectors.

From that time, people of these Greater five races would get innate talents from their birth. If they can unlock the full potential of their innate talents, Their journey to the peak would be easier. They can also easily comprehend certain things and high-level power related to their innate talent.

It was like the universe blessed these five races.

But if they can't unlock the full potential of their innate talent, They will only have a slight advantage over others.

In the end, surviving and becoming a top powerhouse depends on one's hard work, luck, and will and not entirely on their innate talents.

...

" Skylord, DeathKnight, and Lucent. Attack freely using your powers but only aim at its head part. More specially, It's eyes. Its ten eyes have the special power of space, and that's why its attack can cross space and hit people instantly. "

" We'll do our best, Master. "

After that, Athan directly summoned his army as flying-type beasts and weapons appeared around him.

He commanded them to attack its head part, and he also descended together with his army.

" Look! That human is courting death. "

" What the hell...Is he out of his mind? "

The terred race woman also looked at him and shook her head, but she also didn't want to waste this chance and spoke as her voice reverberated everywhere, " Everyone. Don't hesitate and use all of your power to attack the head of the monster. "

Saying this, She also started to attack as she consumed her energy and released devastating attacks towards the giant head of the monster.

Many other people also started attacking with their full force.

" That human race man is an idiot by every means. Why does he have to waste his energy on those useless beasts and weapons that barely scratch the monster? "

" Wh-what the heck. I was hit by a powerful attack just now. "

" Me too..."

" Me too...What the hell is going on? "

" Crap...That monster started to use Lightning space blades. They are not as wide area as those bolts but faster and more powerful. "

Athan was sweating right now because he was attacked by colorful lighting space blades instead of lightning bolts when he got closer to the Kraken.

Three additional tentacles also appeared as the intensity of the attack by this monster increase as it released colorful lighting bolts and lighting space blades.

Athan's army was continuously wiped by while consuming a tremendous amount of energy each second to block the attacks coming at him.

His barriers were also breached as he had to constantly form new barriers.

' Looks like it was a bad idea to try to land on the monster's hand and attack it. But now that I am so close. I am not giving up halfway. '

Athan continued moving downwards as he was twenty meters away from landing on the monster's head, but these twenty meters hard as he had to block countless attacks coming at him.

He knew that the orthodox way to defeat this boss monster was to attack from afar with many people but screw it, ' As long as I land on its head....crap. '

" cough...gotta focus on defending. " Athan muttered as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

" That human is still alive, and his army is also continuously appearing. What's going on? "

" Fuck him. I think it was his fault that this monster started to attack with additional ability. "

The terred race woman grimaced and said, " This is good news for us. That monster is paying slightly less attention here. The number of its air attacks is decreased by 30%. For those who have yet to use full power, this is our last chance. throw everything you got at that monster. "

At this moment, Athan also finally landed on the head of the monster as he formed a sharp grin, " Finally..."

Athan summoned his army as they all started to attack the monster's head which was several hundred meters wide.

He also used all of his blood magic and his other abilities except genome power and started attacking.

' Those people in the sky really took advantage of me and dealt a good chunk of the damage on the monster. But...The highest damage will be mine. '

The terred woman and all others were shocked as they saw Athan successfully landing on the monster's head.

" That...is impossible. How did he survive those onslaughts of lightning space blades and bolts? "

Segan couldn't see Athan's face because an armored helmet covered it, but he might just die in disbelief if he saw Athan's face.

Segan wondered, ' Did we have such a figure in our human race? '

Athan was currently attacking with full power at one spot as blood was overflowing. After digging out a hole, He released the last two Chasm Severing inside the hole as they started to obliterate the monster's head and finally killed it.

[ Congratulations! You have dealt the highest damage to the Elite Boss monster and won Five Spirit Evolution Orbs, One thousand Menima crystals, One soul jade fruit. ]

[ Due to dealing exceptionally high damage to the elite boss monster and breaking all prior records, You are rewarded a high-grade magic inheritance. ]

After that, All five layers of the Roumbra blood war had a widespread announcement.

[ A Human race person has performed exceptionally against the Elite boss monster in the fourth layer and is rewarded with High-grade magic inheritance. ]

Hearing this, Many people in the upper layers were surprised and startled.

Aragaya Jade Empress in the 1st layer curled her lips as she muttered, " Damn! Who is this monster that received high-grade magic inheritance despite being in the fourth layer? Didn't know we had such a genius in our human race. "

Inwardly, She smiled wryly because she also received her first magic ever high-grade magic inheritance after risking her life and nearly dying.

Chapter 210 - Fight! & Reward

After the boss monster was defeated, The terred race woman's face turned a bit awful because she ranked second.

' That human who risked going on the monster's head is likely the first ranked. But something is strange. How did he have that much energy to survive those attacks while also creating a wide variety of monsters and weapons? Furthermore, He also must have attacked the boss monster with his full power after arriving there. Just...what kind of the thing he has that let him get this much source of energy? '

A spark of greed lit up inside her.

A few humans decided to meet Athan and descended. After all, Who wouldn't want to know a fellow human this powerful?

So they hurriedly arrived towards Athan, who was checking his rewards. They had to be quick because they will be teleported to the general battlefield zone soon.

Athan also sensed their presence was looked at them.

" Y-you!..."

Hearing this startled shout, other people in the group looked at Segan, who had a face of disbelief.

" Do you know this powerhouse, Segan? "

Segan didn't know how to answer. He was sure that the person in front of him look like that student who caught and killed an Amarphy race spy, ' Impossible. At that time, he was just at the origin intent plane. '

Ignoring the disbelief look of Segan, Other humans, who consisted of four men and three women, moved towards Athan before they introduced themselves and asked for Athan's name.

Athan was speechless, but he still told them his name.

" Hey, Segan. What are you standing in a daze? If you want to make the acquaintance of senior Athan, then hurry up. "

" Ah, Y-yes...wait, what?! " Segan was put into spot when he heard the name of this master and thought, ' If I remember correctly, That student also had the same name. '

On the other hand, Athan was speechless hearing them calling him senior and also because he was receiving flirtatious looks from three women.

This Roumbra blood war was an event where people could progress very fast. But normally? It took one heck of a time to advance and breakthrough to the higher planes. So Athan was sure that these three women were very old despite their beautiful milf appearances.

He also noticed the Segan, who had once again entered into a daze while looking at him. But the time was up.

" Hope we meet once again, Senior Athan. "

"Goodbye, Senior Athan. "

...

Athan appeared at a place where there were greenery and mountain ranges.

*Roarrrrrrrr...*

*Roarrrrrr...*

Athan looked in the direction of this sound and energy waves.

A kilometer to his left side, Two big wyverns were attacking a Branzol race member.

Seeing that the fight just started, Athan used Blood magic: Unbound Covenant and dashed in that direction.

Right after that, He also used Blood magic: Demolition Covenant towards the Branzol race man to keep him at bay.

" Skylord. recover your energy with Menima crystals and turn into 2nd gear: Welsh Domain Ruination. "

" Right away, Master. "

On Athan's hands, Two metallic dark purple gloves appeared. Additionally, There were dark silver patterns on the glove's surface.

Athan activated the power as the gloves expanded from his two hands and connected before forming a weapon with a vertical muzzle that glowed with energy that coursed through it. The weapon was bizarre. Its front looked slightly similar to those scanners in the malls but bigger. Its two handles were connected to the gloves on Athan's hands.

Athan fired the attack after arriving in the range without wasting time. From the vertical muzzle, waves of dark purple with a silver hue in them shot forward continuously.

The waves got bigger after they shot out from the weapon. A total of five waves were released as they traveled at a breakneck speed and enveloped the two wyverns. After that, The wyverns started to rot and disintegrate.

The Branzol race man fumed as he barely blocked Athan's attack that continuously came towards him.

He suddenly seemed to have used the ability of his altar spirits as a shining golden armor appeared on him that fully covered him. The armor had dark brown and green patterns that glowed as he ceased to take damage from the blood lasers that continuously shot towards him from six orbs around Athan.

After that, The man attacked Athan by releasing two giant horns at a breakneck speed.

Athan used Blood magic: Vindication covenant and also additionally used barriers that blocked the attack.

The two wyverns were no more by now as Athan received the rewards and then dashed towards the Branzol race man.

Seeing this, The Branzol race man grinned and shouted, " Come on! "

He clapped his hands as several golden blades shot towards Athan while crossing the space.

Athan had conjured several layers of barriers disregarding the energy cost, and continued after blocking the golden blades that proved to be a bit powerful but no problem for him.

" DeathKnight, Life field of Death. "

" Skylord, Assult scale mail. "

Athan used both second-stage powers of DeathKnight and Skylord at the same time.

The gloves on his hands disappeared before A violet color glowing metallic armor entirely covered his body.

The armor had a golden core on his chest, a dark red core under his left shoulder, and a dark green core below his right shoulder.

A dark silver metallic substance also covered his wings.

On top of this, The life field of Death enveloped Athan's body and protected him from all kinds of attacks, including soul attacks.

The assault scale mail increased his attack power by a lot, but even though it looked like am armor, It had zero defensive ability, which could put Athan at risk. But the Life field of Death solved this.

The Life field of Death can covert the attacks into life force and support Athan as long as it was under the threshold of Deathknight's limit. But the attack should hit the field that enveloped Athan.

It could also block soul attacks and all other kinds of attacks. Additionally, It could purify Athan's body by cleansings the poisons or other such powers.

Athan's speed and other capabilities increased as he disappeared and appeared right behind the Branzol race man and punched him on his back head.

From his fist, a dark green blast also released that held a powerful impact.

The Branzol race man was shocked and also injured, ' What the hell? Why is he so powerful? '

Though Athan didn't stop and once again disappeared before appearing on the left side of the Branzol race man and punched him on his temple as a dark red piercing blast released from his fist that came from the other side of the man's head.

*Crackkk...Klank! *

The man's helmet was shattered as his bloodied face appeared. A crack on his skull and blood flowed from his mouth and his eyes...were as dead as they could be.

His last thoughts were, ' Why does this human have such powerful primal energy? '

Athan then took everything from the man's inner space because Athan killed him too fast.

But when he saw the items, He was disappointed, " Looks like this guy used the resources on his altar spirits. "

He still took a few useless things and converted them to points before going towards the forest of giant trees to his left side.

After comfortably arranging barriers and defense while sitting on the big branch of the tree, Athan rubbed his hands, " Time to check the rewards. "

Chapter 211 - Targeted, A Dangerous Encounter.

First of all, Athan gave three spirit evolution orbs to Skylord, DeathKnight, and Lucent.

Unlike Armament fragments that they merge into their soul altars, they consume these spirit evolution orbs just like Menima crystals.

These spirit evolution orbs can strengthen and evolve their core so that they don't need to spend many years refining their core by menima energy.

There are three steps between the second stage of spirit armament and the third stage of spirit armament. These three steps are all related to refining their core in the different methods using menima energy, but with the Spirit evolution orbs, They can speed up their progress.

All three of his altar spirit ate the orbs and went into their soul altars for training. Meanwhile, Athan finally took a look at a metallic cube inside his Genesis realm.

This metallic cube was none other than high-grade magic inheritance.

Athan grabbed it ( his genesis avatar ) and activated it.

Right after that, The cube started shining before it broke apart. Silver energy with pure white sparks exploded out from the cube before it went towards his energy realm.

Athan vaguely felt time and space attributes, but he didn't understand much. The silver energy with white sparks gathered together and formed a core.

Usually, People will have to comprehend the magic from this core, but the Unima core inside his energy realm showed its power.

The unima core started shining and trembling, which affected the silver core with white sparks.

Unima core released the energy before it entered inside the new magic core.

After a while, Athan was finished and opened his eyes with excitement dancing inside them. He had finished learning the magic spells.

This high-grade magic was really...powerful. He guessed that without unima core, It would take him a long time to learn and comprehend the magic completely.

Jigen magic of time-space.

Athan didn't waste time and also started to comprehend the Rule power related to it.

...

Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike had filled up their level one battlefield guage a few hours ago and were already on the level two battlefield.

They all reached the requirement to participate in the Boss zone with their powerful attacks. After all, They also have a more powerful version of primal energy due to unima core.

But the thing was that everyone separated to different places in the general second-level battlefield.

Tiana and Avelia's get-ups were also changed because they changed the forms of their altar spirits when they reached the second stage of spirit armament.

Their lonely journey to the peak has begun as the chances of them meeting once again were small. Will they meet each other or not? Will they catch up to Athan at any point or not?

...

Athan was currently in deep meditation as he was comprehending a Rule power.

But unknown to him, a group was targeting him.

This group was still very far from the location of Athan, but they were gradually moving in his direction.

The leader of the group was none other than the terred race woman. Beside her, There were two more terred race people and three grakil race people.

" Eleknie, Your highness. Does that human really have such a mystical treasure? " A grakil race man with a rare dignified face spoke to the terred race woman who was the group leader.

Eleknie snorted and said, " I can guarantee that he does have some unusual things about him, and it should be related to some kind of treasure. He seemingly has an unlimited amount of primal energy, and I also noticed that his Primal energy is different than ours. It is more powerful. "

" Hmmm...I know that you won't say lies regarding such things, but how will we find him? and also...how do we split the rewards? " A sly gleam appeared in the eyes of grakil race man as he continued, " If he really does have an unlimited and more powerful version of primal energy, Then we will have to surround him and capture him as quickly as possible by using all our means. "

" Humph, One of my Rule power which I recently comprehended, is related to finding people. "

A terred race man in the group chuckled and said, " More like finding preys. Her highness Eleknie always liked to hunt targets, and she comprehended this Rule power thanks to this hobby. "

Eleknie grinned and said while looking at the grakil race man who was talking to her, " That's not all. This Rule power is also slightly related to my second Innate talent, so it is more potent. "

She couldn't unlock the full potential of her second innate talent, but it was still helpful.

" Just follow me now. I can sense his location's general direction as long as I remember him and focus on his image. "

Her Rule power of Universal hunter was a space and soul type rule power. As long as she remembers a person and focuses on that person's image, She would know their general direction as long as they are in the same plane of existence.

If Athan was in Trinity Source Plane, she couldn't sense him, but for now, He was being targetted by her while not even being aware of it.

They would still take some time to reach Athan because they were still very far from each other. They also can't fly continuously at full speed because they don't have unlimited energy like Athan.

" Let's move at the loop cycle speed. I can sense that we are still very far from him and will take days to arrive there. Depending on the beasts we encounter on the way, It may take longer. But...I am not giving up on this hunt. Let's go! "

Thus, They moved at the flying speed that doesn't decrease their reserve of energy.

They wouldn't consume their energy while flying at this speed because it matched the recovery speed in this atmosphere that contained dense primal energy.

But it remains to be seen that who would be hunting whom. These six people had reached the peak of power in this second-layer battlefield. They were more powerful than general people because all of them had innate talent, which might not have fully unlocked potential like Eleknie but were still powerful.

...

Dreamy silver energy currently surrounded Athan with white sparks around him.

He didn't know how many days passed, but he was very close to comprehending the Rule power related to space and time thanks to the newly acquired high-grade magic.

On the other hand, Eleknie and the group encountered moving in Athan's direction encountered a human race person.

That person was fighting a beast with three snakeheads and its giant body that looked similar to an elephant with obsidian skin with dark gold patterns.

That person was none other than Avelia, and she had just started the fight with this beast when she sensed several presences behind her.

Eleknie and the group stopped as she sensed something strange.

" Stop everyone. "

She narrowed her eyes as she sensed the primal energy coming from Avelia.

" Is there anything strange about that human, Your highness? "

Eleknie nodded slowly and said with a wicked grin, " Hehe. This human girl is giving off a similar type of primal energy that I sensed from that man. "

Chapter 212 - Chase, Frustration And Target.

Avelia distanced herself from the beast and stayed on guard when she sensed killing intent from the Eleknie and the group.

" Hahaha, This human girl is young, and her vitality is vibrant. Surprisingly, she could become this powerful at such a young age. "

Eleknie formed a disgusting face and said, " Looks like you still have that hobby of yours, Dorthan. "

Dorthan grinned, " Since she also has that unique primal energy that you mentioned, Then let's capture her. But...I will play with her for a few days first. "

Avelia could hear everything and be extremely disgusted and angry as she taunted loudly, " You piece of bloated crap. If you dare to follow me, then I swear that you will not die a simple death. "

She then directly started running.

Dorthan's face twisted as he bellowed and made a dash as he went after Avelia.

Eleknie and others also started flying at full speed, " That idiot Dorthan. We'll have to hurry and capture her fast because she is going in the same direction as that human. "

The other two Grakil race men were somewhat helpless by Dorthan's behavior, but his status was just as high as Eleknie even if he was not as powerful as Eleknie.

" Your highness, how far are from that human you targetted if we move at our current speed? "

They were currently flying at full speed as they went after Avelia.

Eleknie checked and answered, " Approx five to six hours. We'll have to act fast and capture this human girl soon. "

After an hour...

" Hey, fat pig? You should do some exercises. You are so slow...Like a snail. hahaha. Even other fat pigs are faster than you. "

Right now, The face of Eleknie and the group was ugly.

They found out that Avelia's speed was faster than theirs, and she could leave them in the dust. But she would slow down shortly and mock them before running once again.

" Eleknie...Does that human girl also have an unlimited source of energy? " Dorthan asked with a grimace on his face.

Eleknie shook her head and said, " I don't know, but her powerful primal energy is giving her a boost in his ability, so she is naturally faster than us if we don't use some of our powers. "

" But...I don't want to be short on energy when facing that human man because the threat I felt from him is higher than this human girl. "

Dorthan unwillingly insisted said, " Let's chase her for one hour more. I will use my abilities and try to capture her. It would help if you also aided me in that. And...If we fail to catch her in the next hour, then I won't insist anymore. "

Eleknie agreed because she also needed his and the other two Grakil race men's help to subdue Athan. If she had looked at Athan releasing his Chasm Severing inside the Kraken's head, She wouldn't have these ideas to subdue Athan.

The chase continued as Avelia was always ahead of them, but she would at least take one of them out while running with some planning.

Of course, the one she was planning to take out was that disgusting fat pig, Dorthan.

' Hwakray. When I use your second ability on that fat pig, Use all of your energy. '

' Okay, Master. '

Avelia slowed down a bit and looked behind.

Seeing this, Dorthan grinned as he seemed to have added four pairs of wings behind his back that looked silver and black in color.

Avelia also suddenly felt danger bells ringing, and without wasting any time, She locked on him and used her Genome skill: Disruptive Ray.

*Zaaap..*

A chaotic dark silver ray directly hit the Dorthan as his smirking face changed into a horror one.

The energy inside him ran chaotically as he couldn't control anything and he even got backfire from his own ability, which should be generally impossible at his level. He was also internally injured due to that chaotic silver energy that ran amok inside him.

Right after that, Avelia also released the second ability of Hawkray as a sharp and penetrative spiral beam fired from two small guns that rested on her shoulders.

Her appearance was also different than before as she wore grey metal armor with dark brown and golden patterns.

The two sci-fi-looking guns' frame had bright red color with green and silver patterns.

The beams were high-speed, and before anyone could do anything, They hit Dorthan, who was unable to use any of his powers due to Avelia's geno skill.

" Lord Dorthan! "

The two Grakil race men were shocked, while Eleknie and the two terred race men who came with her were also dumbfounded.

Everything happened too fast.

Eleknie grimaced and said, " Damnit! Her threat level just went up a notch than that human man. That chaotic dark silver ray that hit Dorthan is extremely powerful. I feel that...even I won't be able to block it. "

She indeed also wanted to capture Avelia because of the unique primal energy she possessed, which was similar to Athan's, but no more. They would be just wasting time and energy.

Avelia didn't stay after releasing the second ability of Hawkray, Spiral-Destrobeam, and continued running because she was short on her genome power with only 30% of geno energy remaining.

But Eleknie and others didn't chase after her.

" Forget her. She also changed her direction slightly and is not in our way. Our target is that human man and his treasure. No need to waste energy on her anymore. "

The two grakil race men were hesitating, but Eleknie pressured them with a sneer, " You have already received payment from me. If you are having thoughts of backing out now...Then don't blame me for being ruthless. This idiot Dorthan already ruined my plan, and now it will be slightly troubling to subdue that human if we don't act carefully. "

The two grakil race men didn't hesitate anymore. They burned Dorthan's body and continued.

...

Avelia didn't go far away and used Alliser's power of Spirit Armament to conceal herself in the atmosphere.

When she sensed that the people didn't follow her but left in another direction, She silently followed them. Her instinct told her that she would benefit if she followed them. This instinct was related to a weird gaze she felt from Eleknie when she spoke about her and why they targeted her.

' Looks like they are not in a hurry. ' Avelia thought because they were not moving that fast.

...

After nine hours, Eleknie stopped everyone, and Avelia, who was following them, also stopped and observed.

Too bad Eleknie can only target one person with her power to constantly sense the location of that person.

" That human is just several kilometers away from here, behind those mountain ranges. Start preparing now as we will attack him from here. I am sure he can't sense anything if we are this far and won't be ready for our sudden attack. He also doesn't seem like moving at all for the last few days, so he is likely in meditation. "

Eleknie and the other two terred race men stood in a triangle as they started to prepare a powerful join attack.

The primary handler of this attack was Eleknie.

" This is Purgatory Darkness Seal magic. Our family has this magic inheritance for years, and it was decided that the one who can comprehend it will take it. Luckily, My innate talent bloomed, and it was connected to this magic, so I inherited this high-grade magic inheritance and slowly comprehended it. For now, I can use this one spell, but it is enough. "

A hint of pride could be seen in her eyes when she talked about it.

A triangle darkness seal with silver chains patterns was conjuring in front of her while the two terred race men provided energy.

The two grakil race men also started to conjure a spell as per their agreement. They were preparing a soul attack to weaken Athan.

Avelia was sensing powerful energies that felt even more powerful than rule power and wondered, ' Looks like they are preparing to target someone. But what kind of person could warrant such careful preparations and powerful spell? '

Because of Eleknie's innate talent, The magic spell: Purgatory Darkness Seal displayed a hint of a higher power than rule power.

On the other hand, Athan was deeply comprehending and was close to finishing. He of course was vigilant and put up a sensing barrier but Eleknie and the group were not in that range and being that far, Athan failed to notice anything and was absorbed in his training.

Chapter 213 - Trapped And Tortured But...What's Going On?

" You two, Slowly push that soul attack spell inside. "

Eleknie ordered the two grakil race men to put their soul spell, which looked like a spinning golden condense ball with white spikes, Inside the Purgatory Darkness Seal she created.

She controlled the deadly triangle cube that looked like a Hexa prism with silver chain patterns over it as the two grakil race men pushed their soul spell towards it.

She managed to put the soul attack spell inside the Hexa prism while focusing extremely and controlling with such effort that she was all sweaty.

If she messed up here, then even she didn't know what will happen.

" Phew..." After wiping some sweat, She target-locked Athan with her ability and said, " Right after I release this spell, You all have to follow me directly. "

Avelia, who was watching from behind, was praying for the unfortunate soul who was the target of this powerful sneak attack. After all, She still had resentment towards the group that chased after her.

At this moment, Eleknie was ready as she released the spell.

Upon releasing the spell, There was no sound or anything. It just disappeared from its place, and right after that, Eleknie and others dashed with full speed towards Athan.

On the other hand, Athan opened his eyes instantly after sensing a threat, But it was too late.

A dark Hexa prism with silver chains on it appeared in front of him and caught him inside.

Right after that, The soul attack spell also hit him as he blanked out before experiencing sharp pain like his soul was shredding apart.

He barely managed to make a shield around his soul using soul energy to block the attack, but it was rapidly eating away at his defense.

Right after that, He felt a burning and cold sensation externally and inside his physical body, and he was also losing his strength.

The purgatory Darkness Seal also blocked his senses as he couldn't see, listen, hear, etc.

He was losing control over his internal system too.

At this moment, Eleknie and the group also appeared in front of Athan.

After appearing there, Eleknie first squeezed her fist and opened it, which revealed a small dark Hexa prism that looked the same as the spell that trapped Athan.

Avelia was also following them, and when she saw the person inside the Purgatory Darkness Seal, She couldn't help but cry out in alarm, " ATHAN!! "

Hearing her, Eleknie and the group were shocked and looked behind.

' Damn it! Why did this human girl appear here? Wait...She seemed to know him. '

Avelia was going to attack Eleknie with anger apparent on her face as she knew that to break the spell, She will have to kill Eleknie.

But before she could do that, Eleknie bellowed, " If you dare to move even a single step, The soul of that man over there will be extinguished instantly. And don't think that I can't do it. I can activate the final move of this spell since the target is trapped inside and instantly attack his soul with all of the spell power of this Darkness Purgatory Seal. "

Hearing this, Avelia gritted her teeth but, in the end, didn't move from her position as she glared at Eleknie and asked, " What do you want? Since you chose to trap him, Then I am sure you want something from him. "

Avelia has seen the process of this spell, so she knew that what Eleknie said was right.

This spell could torture the opponent by blocking senses, inflicting internal and external attacks constantly on the target, and it could slowly eat away their soul.

This magic can trap and torture the target. And It can directly kill by condensing all of the spell power of the Purgatory Darkness Seal to attack the soul.

Eleknie could use the final move with the small Hexa prism on her hand.

Hearing what Avelia said, Eleknie smirked, " I like intelligent people. The real reason why I am after him is that he seems to have some treasure that can give him seemingly unlimited energy. His primal energy...and yours too is also more potent than normal Primal energy. I am extremely interested in those things. "

Eleknie had currently trapped Athan and was torturing him.

Right now, Athan couldn't sense anything as he lost all of his senses.

But he was extremely calm. The pain that was being inflicted on his soul and body didn't affect him.

In the absolute darkness, Athan muttered one word, " Phase..."

Eleknie suddenly turned her attention towards her spell as she saw Athan opening his eyes with a calm smile on his face.

" Impossible! "

Avelia was startled but also happy. Though, She stayed in her position because Athan was still not out of this dire situation yet.

Eleknie also realized something and laughed, " You have just regained your senses. You still can't escape from this spell. "

Afterward, Eleknie stretched her hand and showed Athan the small Hexa prism on her palm, " Since you can hear me, then I will directly state my purpose. If you don't want to die, then obediently give me the mystical treasure you have. "

It was indeed true that Athan only regained his senses as he was still feeling pain inside and outside of his body. His soul was also fighting against the soul spell attack and additional darkness that slowly eroded his soul defense while giving him soul shredding pain.

But he ignored or rather...endured the pain and spoke with a smile filled with coldness, " I don't know what treasure you are talking about but mark my words. You have made a terrible mistake by targetting me. "

At this moment, Athan felt his soul defense completely falling apart as the darkness suddenly increased and looked at Eleknie, who sneered, " I increase the intensity of that darkness. I am sure you are gradually losing your soul source. "

Internally, She was shocked and bewildered, ' Just how did he escape from the control of this spell? And why can he stand still while feeling that hellish pain? He should be screaming his lunges out or even die due to that terrible feeling of hot and cold that eats his organs and darkness that erodes his soul. '

" Athan!... You, can you give her what she wants? I am afraid...." Avelia's eyes couldn't help but filled with tears upon thinking about the pain that Athan was suffering.

Athan used one soul jade fruit and directly provided its potent and pure soul power to his soul.

His soul body shined in blinding light as it started to grow rapidly and broke through to 100 meters. After a few seconds, his soul body finally stopped at 113 meters as his soul energy capacity increased, and he once again put a barrier around his soul body.

After doing this, Athan closed his eyes for a few moments before looking at Eleknie, " If you release me from this spell now. Then I will give you less painful death. "

Eleknie and her group were dumbfounded and started laughing.

On the other hand, Avelia was confused, but after a second, She felt someone touching her from behind and yelped before looking behind her.

When she saw the person, She was shocked.

Strangely, Eleknie and the group also didn't hear her yelp.

After looking at the person behind her, She looked in the front and thought with confusion, ' What's going on? '

Chapter 214 - Temporal Hell

" Hurry up! If you don't give us the treasure quickly, I will increase your pain intensity. I know you are feeling it despite that fake facade of calmness on your face. "

Eleknie sneered as she did increase the intensity of the black devouring flames.

Athan, who was inside the Hexa prism, smiled, " Alright. I will give you the treasure. "

He then took out the Ark as it appeared on his palm.

Eleknie looked at the Ark and was surprised and doubtful. She couldn't sense any particular energy or power from this thing, ' Is it really that treasure? '

" This is the treasure that gave me those unique powers. You want it, Right? Then...I'll give it to you now. "

Athan then started walking forward. In the first step, The chains around his body loosed and fell as if they lost the target, and in the next four steps, he came out from the Hexa prism.

" Y-y-you..." Eleknie and others were dumbfounded as if they had seen a ghost. But they were not mistaken. Athan really did step out from the Hexa prism that trapped him like it was a piece of cake.

He then disappeared and directly appeared in front of her and stretched his right hand forward where the Ark was floating on his palm, " Here...You want this treasure, right? "

Eleknie was scared shitless and was unable to speak. What she just witnessed indicated that...she was doomed. Her danger rings were constantly ringing as soon as Athan came out from her Purgatory Darkness Seal.

On the other hand, Her four teammates...turned their back instantly, preparing to run.

But when they saw the people behind them, They were shocked and bewildered.

Avelia and another Athan were standing together. Avelia was also confused as she still didn't know who was the real Athan.

After all, The Athan that was trapped inside the Hexa prism did take out the Ark.

" What's going on, Athan? " She asked the Athan who was beside her.

Athan smiled and said, " This is the newest magic that I got, and I also comprehended a Rule power related to it. I'll tell you in detail later. For now, Let's finish the business here. "

Saying this, Athan snapped his finger, and the four people froze. No matter how much they tried to resist, They couldn't remove themselves from their strange frozen state.

Eleknie also noticed something and became even more desperate when she saw the second Athan as despair was apparent in her eyes, ' What kind of monster did I try to capture? He seems to have mastered high-grade magic even more powerful than mine and also a Rule power related to it...But how? and why he didn't use this power when fighting that monster? '

There was one possibility to this, but she didn't want to believe in it. There was no way that he could've learned all of this in days.

Athan put the Ark back into his soul realm and...disappeared.

Avelia was dumbfounded and asked the Athan beside him, " If you are not a clone, then why did he have the Ark? "

" Actually.....Both are real. I am also real, and he was also real in Athan. "

" Lord Athan. I can do anything and give you anything you want as long as you spare me. "

Eleknie kneeled while floating and spoke in a desperate voice. She knew that the only way to live was to beg for her life.

Athan raised his eyes and swept his gaze across her body, " You are indeed beautiful despite not being human. Those sexy proportions...Tsk. "

Eleknie lit up a spark of hope inside her.

Avelia was wide-eyed hearing this, but what Athan said next made her chuckle.

" But...your face is so ugly that I feel like puking. So...no thanks. "

Eleknie felt burning shame because the face was the most beautiful part of her.

But she wanted to live, so she didn't say anything and took out whatever items she had from her inner space and gave it to Athan as they floated towards him.

Right after that, She actually started to undress herself.

" Stop, stop...Are you mad? Obviously, I was lying about your body. My wives are countless times more beautiful than you. "

Eleknie stopped halfway as she felt her losing control over her as she snapped and without hesitating, She directly attacked Athan with everything she got.

" DIEEE!...."

A condensed and powerful mass of a red beam shot towards Athan. This red beam had countless sparky dark spots inside it.

Athan shook his head, and with a thought, The space in front of him seemed to have cut off as the terrifying spell released by Eleknie disappeared.

" Jigen cut..."

After that, Athan stretched his hand and pointed his finger in front of Eleknie before muttering, " Jigen release..."

Right after that, The attack that Eleknie released towards Athan once again appeared but this time, she was the target.

Eleknie tried to control it, thinking that she could do it since she was the one who released the attack but soon found out that she couldn't connect to her own spell.

" Aaaaaaahhhh...." A hole formed in her abdomen, and her body started to bleed and rot due to her own attack. After all, She didn't hold back at all when releasing her ability.

Seeing this, Athan's eyes turned cold as he used a spell of Jigen magic of Time-Space, " Temporal Hell. "

A white ray released from his finger, which directly hit the forehead of Eleknie, and the space around her also turned a bit strange.

Jigen cut, and Jigen release were not the spells from the magic but the powers of his new Rule domain that he comprehended. He was absorbed in comprehending his Rule domain right after he was finished with his new Rule power.

And this Temporal Hell...was one of the spells of his Jigen magic of Time-Space.

He could come out from the Purgatory Darkness Seal due to one of the other spells from his new magic, Known as Phase Transfer.

Avelia, who was watching Eleknie hit by her own ability, was currently a bit shocked by Athan's display of new abilities.

Eleknie was currently regretting even being born. She could not handle her current hellish situation.

Her thoughts and her entire being had currently slowed down. The pain of one second seemed to last for eternity.

The hole in her abdomen and the bleed and rot that was expanding was in a loop.

They would expand for a few seconds, and after that, they would recover back to their previous state...as if the time was reversed for her.

In this strange process, her soul was also painfully losing its source power.

In this Temporal Hell, Her soul source was being extracted out to fuel her own suffering.

She can't die or do anything to stop her current situation as she would only suffer in this state of seemingly eternal pain until her soul was extinguished.

On the scale of painfulness, The purgatory Darkness Seal was actually more painful.

Temporal Hell was simply used to trap the target in a hell where time has seemingly stopped. If they decided to do any act in this state, Then it would take years for them. Meanwhile, Their opponent could do anything to them. Kill, Torture, or even take things out of their inner space.

In this state, Any kind of pain, be it soul attack, internal attack, or external attack, would last for eternity for them.

There were ways to escape from this magic spell but too bad...Eleknie was not capable of that.

Chapter 215 - Resolve

Athan explained to Avelia about what was happening to Eleknie and his magic spell, Temporal Hell.

" That's too cruel. But she deserved it. She was after your life and treasure, and her Purgatory Darkness Seal was no joke because I saw its process. "

Avelia stretched her hand as she caressed Athan's chest gently, " You...were feeling pain at that time, right? I know...That darkness inside her Hexa prism was really powerful. "

Athan grabbed her waist and pulled her into a hug before saying, " I am used to feeling pain, and this experience in Purgatory Darkness Seal just helped me increase my pain resistance of soul even more. "

After that, Athan turned to the four teammates of Eleknie, who were frozen in space.

Athan had actually used his Rule domain to freeze the space around them into absolute stillness. That's why they couldn't move.

They could resist this by consuming their primal energy and clashing against this ability. But, Athan's unlimited energy was constantly providing the frozen space, so they failed to escape, and in turn, they even consumed all of their energy. Now, they were in despair because they were doomed.

Athan first took everything out from their inner space and then gave them swift deaths.

" Let's leave now—no point in staying here. " Athan said after finishing everything here.

" What about her? If someone powerful than you came here, then they might be able to save her, right? "

Avelia pointed at Eleknie, who was currently stasis in the air with her body in the loop of constantly injuring and recovering while feeling the pain of eternity.

Athan smiled and shook his head, " Nope, Nobody can save her unless someone from a higher plane tries to do it. But in this Roumbra blood war, I doubt that will happen since people of the higher plane can't come lower layer. "

Athan then told her one more thing, and Avelia was doubtful of it, so she went forward and arrived in front of Eleknie.

She then stretched her hand forward as she tried to touch the face of Eleknie but shockingly...Her hands passed through her head.

" You are right! What is this? Why can't I touch her? "

" It's because she is in a separate dimension. I put her in a separate dimension space with my Rule domain's ability. I have provided enough energy that she will be in this separate dimension for a month. But She will die in one day. Though, That one day will last an eternity for her. "

" oh..." Avelia nodded as she understood, " Then let's go. Hehe, I am lucky that I met with you shortly after ascending this second-level battlefield. "

Afterward, Both Athan and Avelia traveled for a few hours. Athan's altar spirits became hungry after seeing more spirit evolution orbs. So Athan gave them more since he had many right now after politely taking them from Eleknie and the group.

After Avelia filled up her gauge to 100%, Athan said, " You have two choices now. Either I take you inside the special space, and then I go into a boss zone and take you out there so we can stay together and fight the boss. This way...we can stay together.

The second choice is that you enter a new boss zone by consuming 100% of your gauge. You don't have unlimited energy like me, so you might not rank first if you enter into an ongoing boss zone. And-"

" I have decided. " Avelia spoke with resolve as she interrupted Athan, " For efficiency and to not hold you down, We...can only separate. "

Athan nodded with a smile, " Although I am worried, I believe in your and others' ability. I will enter into an Ongoing boss zone, and if I take you there, you will receive fewer rewards, and Tiana and others will surpass you. "

Avelia nodded and smiled as she formed a fist, " Yep. We can take care of ourselves now after experience many things in the past two years. You just move at your pace, and we will try our best to catch up to you. "

After that, Avelia decided to enter a new boss zone as she consumed 100% of her gauge but didn't enter into the boss zone directly.

" The slots of this new boss zone are not filled yet. Guess it will take a few more minutes before I enter the boss zone. "

Athan nodded as they decided to travel and kill a few more beasts for rewards.

They managed to kill one powerful beast as it even gave one spirit evolution orb as a reward among some menima crystals and armament fragments.

Avelia soon disappeared as the slots of her boss zone were filled.

After that, Athan also tapped on his left wrist as he also decided to enter a boss zone.

He, of course, chose the ongoing boss zone as he appeared on an island surrounded by giant trees as high as tall mountains.

In the middle of the island, a giant snake with seven heads stood on the ground with its thick body. The snake's body had dark green and red scales that shone with a mysterious luster of blue hue.

Its seven heads had different powers as they attacked everyone on the island with long-range attacks.

But the strange thing was that this giant snake with seven heads had four arms with dragon claws.

Each claw also attacks people who came near with lightning-fast speed and even released claws projectile towards people who tried to come near it. But the snake was injured all over as different colors of blood flowed out from its seven heads and body.

Athan cracked his neck as he grinned, " Time to hunt this big snake. It's pretty badly damaged so I have to hurry up. "

Athan snapped his finger without wasting any time as he directly appeared on top of the giant snake.

First, He rained down his army and used his other abilities as he started to attack the giant snake.

The snake let out ear-piercing hisses from all of its head before it released attacks towards Athan.

" Look! That idiot. He is courting death. "

" Hahaha...Are all humans this braindead? Just twenty minutes ago, A human man died when he tried to show off. "

Chapter 216 - Second Stage Of Spirit Astride Plane

Athan was attacking the seven head and four-handed giant snake, but he also received attacks from it.

The seven heads of the snake released sparkling and colorful liquid at a fast speed that covered a large area. It could also condense the wide-area spit attacks into condense bullets or beam attacks.

When Athan came near here, The snake mostly attacked Athan with condensed attacks.

People who were paying attention to Athan were shocked when they saw that the attacks from the snakeheads disappeared in front of Athan instead of hitting him.

Athan was non-stop attacking and even decapitated a dark blue head that released speedy and powerful lightning attacks.

After receiving a few more attacks from the giant snake, Athan muttered, " Looks like it's full. "

With his Rule domain, He could store any attack that came towards him into a dimension where Time and Space are in absolute stasis, and he can then release the attacks in any direction he wants.

In simple terms, Jigen Cut: is used to store attacks inside the absolute stasis dimension.

And Jigen Release: is used to release the stored attack from the stasis dimension towards any direction.

Of course, there is a limit on how many attacks Athan can store inside the stasis dimension. It depends on the intensity and potency of the attacks that Athan stores inside.

In terms of grading, He can store ten A-grade attacks or six S-Grade attacks. S-grade attacks have a higher amount of potent energy, so He can't store many of those attacks inside his stasis dimension.

The range he can send attacks inside his stasis dimension is the range of his Rule domain.

This Rule domain of Space-Time Jigen is not as wide as his Flexile Blood Rule domain, possibly due to the nature of power he comprehended.

This Time-Space Jigen rule domain is only 30 meters radius around him.

" Jigen Release..."

Athan released all of the stored attacks from his stasis dimension towards the giant snake.

*Shaaaaaaa.....*

He also didn't stop with his other abilities like Blood magic spells and other attacks from his domain.

His army also constantly attacked the giant snake.

" Holy crap...That human has comprehended a powerful dimension rule with control over space and time. How is that possible? "

" That's...terrifying. The human race shouldn't have any high-grade magic inheritances because this is their first time in the Roumbra Blood war. That means...."

Other people gulped after thinking about the possibility.

" That means that he received high-grade magic related to dimension magic of space-time and then comprehended a Rule power related to it. But...How is this possible? It takes years to master high-grade magic. "

Fear was apparent in the eyes of many people. It was general knowledge that without mastering the magic, One couldn't comprehend any Rule power related to it. Meaning that...The human race man had first mastered the magic and then comprehended a Rule power related to the magic.

" I don't believe it! How can one have such a high level of affinity and comprehension ability? Even we, the Greater five races, can't master high-grade magic this fast, even with our fully unlocked innate talent related to certain types of high-grade magic. "

This was the case with Eleknie. Her innate talent was an attack-type innate talent that gave her powerful corrosive darkness and sealing ability which matched that of the high-grade magic she inherited from her family recently when her innate talent bloomed. But even she took four years just to learn one magic spell, Purgatory Darkness Seal.

If Athan knew this, He would be shocked and marvel at the property of the Unima core.

Other people had a lot less load since Athan started to attack, and they continued to watch with disbelief as Athan finally killed the giant snake monster.

Naturally, He also dealt most of the damage despite arriving in this boss-zone halfway.

[ Congratulations! You have dealt the highest damage to this boss monster. You are rewarded with three evolution orbs, one soul jade fruit, one thousand menima crystals, and five hundred armament fragments. ]

After a while, Athan appeared at another location in the general second-level battlefield and found a good spot before creating several defensive spell runes.

After creating them, He put up barriers around him. With this, His barriers would remain intact even if someone attacked him as any damage or breach of the barrier will be filled up as long as he has primal energy inside his unima core.

He then exchanged the armament fragments into points because, unlike other people, He directly fed evolution orbs to his altar spirits.

The first time, He gave three evolutions orbs to each of them, and the second time, He gave two evolution orbs to each of them.

His altar spirits were still absorbing the evolution orbs, and Athan guessed that they would be done in two days.

" I should also step towards the second stage of Spirit Astride plane. "

The second stage of the Spirit Astride plane: Soul Transformation stage.

Athan closed his eyes and ate a soul jade fruit.

His 113 meters tall soul body started to become bigger slowly and finally stopped at 130 meters tall.

He still had two more soul jade fruits. Before fighting Eleknie, He had two and he used one while he was trapped inside the Purgatory Darkness Seal. After that, He looted one from Eleknie's body and he got one more from the last boss zone where he ranked first.

Athan sensed his soul body and ate one more soul jade fruit because he had to reach 150 meters tall.

After reaching the 150-meter soul body mark, His soul will transform, and he will unlock soul sense.

Normally, People who rank top will receive soul jade fruits, and other people will also receive fruits that boost their soul but not as effective as soul jade fruit.

With the soul fruits, They can rapidly increase the size of their soul body to reach the 150 meters mark of the soul body.

Another source of soul strength was their altar spirits. When their altar spirits reach the third stage in spirit armament, their masters also receive a boost in soul strength that was equivalent to one soul jade fruit. After that, They can continue fighting to get soul fruit rewards and they can also cultivate together with their Altar spirits by letting them train in Erudite palace and slowly get soul source feedback from them.

The second way was a normal way used by people that are not inside the Roumbra blood war.

Since Athan had enough soul jade fruits to directly reach that 150 meters tall soul body mark, He didn't waste time doing it.

His soul body was getting bigger and bigger before it hit 150 meters tall soul body mark.

Right after that, A transformation occurred as his soul body started shining in golden light and started shrinking.

But His sub soul body, which was constantly practicing the Genome technique by filling up its third branch of the genome tree, was not affected by this change.

Athan was feeling ethereal during this transformation. It was as if he was elevating to a higher existence, and this was due to him unlocking his soul sense and his soul transforming into a higher form of soul.

His soul was condensed and became powerful. His soul body, which previously looked light gold with a gaseous structure, changed.

It shrank to 6.1 ft in height. This height was the same as Athan's height. This soul body had a bright golden and condensed body that looked just like Athan.

One of the mystical things was the light gold energy constantly surrounded the transformed soul body of Athan.

Chapter 217 - Legendary Sector's Passage, Divination Of Senior Rishen

Athan opened his eyes and used the new function of his soul.

Soul Sense.

He could scan his surroundings and gain a clear picture of anything. His reflex, thinking, and instincts also became powerful. His comprehension ability also increased.

His spellcasting ability and control over energy also increased. The soul is the main source of one's entire existence, and when it becomes powerful, Their overall abilities increases.

After feeling his newfound increase in overall strength and soul sense, Athan took out his tablet and edited his details.

__________________________________________________

After adding the details, Athan started to move aimlessly while waiting for his altar spirits to be done with absorbing the power of spirit evolution orbs as he will use the breakthroughs of his altar spirits to finish the third stage of the Spirit Astride plane: Formation of Soul Core.

...

Right now, Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike were fighting their own battles at different places while gradually getting stronger.

Their fighting spirits were never before this intense.

Without safe a heaven, such as the special space, They managed their resources and moved carefully. They would sometimes pause at some places to recover their genome power and would fight individuals if they encountered them.

But mostly, they killed beasts and filled up their gauge so they can enter a boss zone.

While Athan and others were inside the Roumbra Blood war dimension.

In the Supercluster of the human race.

Senior Rishen, Senior Fang, and Senior Black.

The three-pillar of the human race stood at a certain place on the Legendary Sector.

There were also other powerhouses in behind them with excitement written over their faces.

" Rishen...I am going to open the passage now. If you want to do any divination, then do so. "

Hearing what Fang said, Senior Rishen nodded his head and closed his eyes as a golden book appeared on his hands.

After a while, He opened his eyes which were now filled with graveness, and saw the question-filled looks of others.

Shaking his heads, Senior Rishen spoke with a grave expression, " Extreme danger. Death. "

" What do you mean? Any specification? Like if we enter the passage or right after we open the passage? "

The one who asked this was senior Black. He looked like a man in his forties with pitch-black hairs and brown skin tone. In contrast, His eyes were shining like diamonds, and he gave off hazy but also dangerous feelings to others.

Hearing the questions from Black, Senior Rishen shook his head, " I can't find such specification. All I know is that opening the passage will result in Extreme danger and Death. I don't know if this danger will be after entering the passage or right after the passage opens. "

A man who was standing slightly far from king Dimitri spoke with hesitation, " Seniors, Should we inform Greater five races about this? They have stressed before that do not open the passage without asking them and having any Lord level figure present at the scene. "

Hearing this, Fang snorted and said, " We don't need their permission. But..." He then also mellowed down because although he didn't like Rishen, He had to trust his abilities, " But since Rishen said that there is extreme danger and death, We will have to make some plans. "

Senior Black nodded and said with a wry smile, " If I knew that Rishen would drop this bomb at this stage, I would have entered the Roumbra Blood war. "

Senior Rishen shook his head with a helpless smile, " You can't blame me for this. I can only know about certain things in a certain order. If Fang and you haven't figured out a way to open the passage, I wouldn't know anything even if I use my ability to Divine about it. "

He then thought about Athan and his chaotic fate, ' Hmmm...I wonder where he is? ' He suddenly got an idea and spoke, " Wait a minute, Let me divine one more time. "

He then closed his eyes and once again used his law ability.

Fang, Black, and others silently waited.

After a while, They saw senior Rishen opening his eyes. Fang asked with doubt after seeing his expression, " What good news you suddenly got? "

" Hahaha. Our human race will rise, and we also don't need to wait for 100 years to open this passage. "

Senior Rishen laughed boisterously because...Although the fate of Athan was even more chaotic than before, The prosperity of the human race was on rising when he connected Athan to their whole human race.

Everyone was surprised, and Senior Black asked, " What did you find out? Share us the good news, old man. "

Others also nodded, and even Fang was curious, but Senior Rishen shook his head with a mysterious smile, " Nope. Not telling anyone about it. You will eventually find out about it before the Roumbra blood war ends. "

" At least tell us the exact number of years! "

" Yeah, Senior Rishen. You got us really curious by sharing something like this. You have to tell us about the time span at least. "

Everyone started to urge Senior Rishen.

" Stop, stop! I also don't know how many years exactly, but It could be after ten to twenty years. That's all I can say. "
