He held the crystal and looked at it curiously. It gave him goosebumps. He didn't know if it was the trigger to lightning or there were other reasons to it.
The crystal was pitch black. He tried to insert his energy but regretted the idea as the crystal greedily sucked it away with no sign of stopping.
He started to sweat bullets as the thing refused to stop. After sometime the crystal showed no sign of stopping but he could fill all his reserves dried out.
His face had already lost colour due to exhaustion.
Just as it was about to completely drain him, the golden lotus symbol shone brightly with divine light.
Divine energy enveloped the crystal. The crystal immediately became dormant in presence of a superior form of energy.
Karl passed out due to exhaustion. This fight had taken a toll on his body. If it wasn't for the crystal, there was no way he could kill that near immortal existence.
He failed to notice the soul energy sucked away from the crystal. This energy was very pure to say the least. It went straight into him.
His soul strength soared at astonishing speed. This was soul power belonging to over thousands of people.
That skeleton had spent most of its life span collecting souls of powerful creatures. The crystal converted it to soul power which Karl was unconsciously sucking away.
His soul became robust oozing with power. All his soul limits were unblocked at his current level. All the elements were now at his call. He couldn't use them over time as his soul was too weak.
His race had many privileges he had yet to find out.
Luckily for him, he was unconscious as his body cracked allover. Blood flowed out, but not long his regeneration kicked in.
His body was cracked and regenerated over time. Impurities were pushed out. This process continued for 40 minutes.
Karl woke up. His bones cracked as he stood up.
A foul stench immediately assaulted his nose.
Looking around him, he spotted a dark substance on him and the ground.
"I need to take a shower, but first let's store away this crystal."
After erasing all his tracks, he disappeared towards a lake very far away.
The place was left in ruins. This was a catastrophic battle between an undead and a supernatural being.
The corrosive nature of the dark energy hard sucked away all the life over afew kilometers.
Various mountains had crumbled. Trees erased. Earth split. Craters formed.
It was like a battle of supreme entities had transpared.
Not knowing the impact of his battle, Karl layed on the lake calmly. His senses all alert. These fights helped sharpen him.
All his opponents were all that powerful. He didn't know if it was just luck but he managed to survive against all odds.
'Luck can also be considered power I guess.'
'Soon over world will have visitors. I need to become stronger in this period, there will nolonger be peace we believe we have now. Sure Luxuria is strong but I will just be a burden to her if am weak.'

The commotion attracted numerous figures this time. This was something everyone wanted to witness. Something which could cause such a phenomenon.
Supernatural entities of different races all gathered. The police tried to block them but magically they ended up chatting.
People of different status arrived at the place in hasty.
What they saw astonished them beyond words.
None of them here was stupid. This destruction wasn't anything normal. They have seen movies so they could connect the dots but how was that possible.
Was the government creating superhuman? Was the world under an attack?
This was not the first time this has happened. Its has been happening lately and even now.
Was this some kind of warning? There were some puzzles which needed to connect.
That wouldn't have been the problem but that abyssal crater spanning 300 meters wide caused an uproar.
Normal humans, irrelevant of age, all knelt on ground.
All, whether watching on TV or directly present, all knelt as they felt emotional.
What they didn't know was the divine energy that still lingered in the air influenced them. It was by no means normal divinity.
Luxuria who was watching all this was slightly shocked. But sensing who's divine energy it was, she smiled. He was simply destined for great.
This scene immediately caused chaos among the supernatural. This was unexpected and completely unheard of.
Humans weren't supposed to come in contact with anything supernatural. It wasn't normal for them to be influenced but magically this thing affected a fucking thousands of people. They didn't even know how.
The Great family heads immediately set a meeting. Something strange was going on to which they couldn't put a finger tip on.
There were officials from the SPF. This was an urgent meeting to all.
Heads of the 7 Great families sat comfortably in their seats as allocated. Their faces carried various expressions.
Technically they were the powerhouses and most influencial in America. Their families have been in these positions for ages.
They were not pleased to only see SPF officials here, they expected atleast the Secretary if not the leader herself but that seemed not the case here.
In all their live the times they came into contact with that woman can be counted on hand. But they had to admit she was a heaven toppling beauty far more than other women they have so far met.
"As you all know, there are some strange occurrences to which we are unaware of. At first though horrible was atleast manageable. That was due to some Gang wars though over 1000 lost their lives." The head of Snow family, Adrina, spoke softly betraying no emotion.
"And then a full city was erased and reduced to ruins. Though it was a Ghost city, still that wasn't something to take lightly. No evidence or traces are left behind. It's notable that these are battles which take place but don't last long. They leave everything in kilometers covered in ruins. So far no casualties but I fear that if we remain in the dark for long, we might die without knowing how." The head of Walker family, Arnod, said.
"Now there comes the strange phenomenon today and that strange behaviour among people. The records of ancient say little about that crimson lightning but it clearly appears as the heavens are dead set at destroying something. That lightning was not for show. I only conclude that there are some forces involved in this than eyes meet, no normal supernatural can cause such destruction that transpared they must be high Rankers." The head of the Armstrong family, Shuri, spoke with a frown on her beautiful face.
"It's true that there are some forces involved in this but we haven't proved which one. There are dark energies left behind after the fights. These energies are highly corrosive in nature. Proof of this is an entire forest that has been drained of life today." A middle aged man spoke with a deep frown. As a high rank official in the SPF he should know much after investigation but he knew little to nothing which pissed him off.
