"One minute, I will rest here for just one minute; our allies, warriors from my family, are now fighting with their lives on the line; I just cannot stay here till the end of this war." He might have said all of these things in a calm voice, but the determination emitting from him made the healers freeze as they instantly realised that even if they tried to stop him, it would be futile.
"What the?!" The healer responsible for him was in shock; they could see the heavy injuries all around his body were recovering at an insane speed.
He also noticed this and is confused. He knows that he has an abnormal recovery rate, but this was just too much for him.
'System, can you tell me why my body is reacting like this? 'Since there is no warning from the system, he knows that there should be nothing wrong with him.
This is the aftereffect of when the host loses control of his body to an unknown entity. The host is now capable of absorbing soul power and life energy in the atmosphere to recover and strengthen your body; this is now a passive ability that is always in effect.
'So it actually etched the powerful ability of the Gemstone of Life into my body; with this, I might be able to heal my soul.' He, of course, was happy after learning this, as the damage to his soul is just too much and he is now feeling weak.
His physical body is fine; in fact, it is better than before, but his soul right now is extremely weakened. He expected that the unknown beast's soul would use drastic means to win the battle, but he did not expect it to actually self-destruct. It was so desperate for freedom, and it cherishes its life so much that such a decision shocked him.
Even if he knew this, he would not be able to dodge the explosion, as in order to win, he has to stick close to his target.
'It seems that I need to learn techniques or skills that can increase the defence of my soul.' He thought; fortunately, he still has the system; it is enough for the first realm, for now that is.
ROAR! SKREE! HOWL! On the battlefield, the battle between the human alliance and the tide of genetic lifeforms is just now getting heated up; without the interference of abnormal beings such as Cleo and the unknown beast, the battle is actually turning towards the latter.
The teachers might be strong, but they are just too outnumbered; not to mention, they had to waste such a large amount of energy when dealing with the three minions of the unknown beast.
They are now slowly being pushed back, as many of them are now sustaining different degrees of injuries. It will not be long before their side finally breaks down.
'One minute is up! ' Cleo does not know the current condition of the battlefield because he was fully focused on condensing a liquid inside his soul space.
This one drop of liquid is created from a dense amount of soul power; he would not have been able to do this without the existence of the Gemstone of Life.
He nearly lets out a moan as the pleasure derived from absorbing the drop of liquid is just too much; if not for his tempered (numbed) will, he would have blown off some *** white liquid.
'Sh*t! This sensation is just too much! It feels too good! ' He stands up from the bed and starts stretching; seeing this, everyone nearby was gobsmacked.
"Keep up the good work!" He pats the shoulder of the healer responsible for him. He turns in the direction of Leon and shouts.
"How long are you going to lie there like a dead log?!"
Everyone was startled by his shout, as it was loud enough for people around him to hear even in the chaotic battlefield nearby.
As all of them turn in the direction where he was looking, they see the hole that was created by the lightning tribulation explode, and a person appears holding a sword, radiating an intense and sharp aura that causes everyone looking at him to gulp nervously.
"How?!" Those who saw the scene of Leon being blasted by the lightning tribulation were stunned; they cannot believe what they are currently seeing.
"He is titled Immortal; do you really think that it was just an empty title?" he asks the warriors near him.
'Phew! Thank god that he is in his armoured state; it would be difficult to explain his appearance." Inwardly heaving a sigh of relief, he silently wipes his sweat on his forehead.
The two of them charged towards the tide of genetic lifeforms; he checked Leon's current status, and he cannot deny that even he was surprised by how strong he has become.
[Soul Blessing: Cleo's Clone]
Name: Leon
Type: Humanoid Pet
Grade: Supernatural (True/Superior)
Level: Supernatural (BEGINNER)
Speciality: Immortality: As long as the host is alive, it can be summoned again after dying.
Additional Trait: Armoured Wings [An armour that boosts the user's defence by 200%, strength by 100%, and agility by 00%] Gain control over wind elements, each pair of wings would increase mastery over wind elements. Wings could transform into sharp swords that have the toughness and sharpness belonging to a sword type (Supernatural Grade (Fake) Soul Blessing). [Armour is capable of transforming into elemental form for a short period of time.]
Ability: Soul Blessing Equip: Capable of equipping soul blessings that hosts give
Ability 2: Human Martial Artist: Can learn martial arts developed by and for humans
Ability 3: Sense Sharing: Can share senses with the host. Stares the trait (Sword Heart) with the host.
(Locked) Ability 4: Natural Law Manipulation: Can control and manipulate natural laws
(Locked) Ability 5: Life (can have independent thoughts but is still fully dependable to the host)
It seems that the two soul blessings that he had sacrificed fused into one trait; the armour is no longer just at Advanced Grade; it is now at the same level as Supernatural Grade. This gratified him but also made him worry.
Since Leon evolved in the direction of an agility-type attacker, the number of soul blessings compatible with him has decreased; he cannot just give him a transformation-type soul blessing anymore.
It seems that he can only give him a weapon type, Soul Blessing; fortunately, he has plenty of those. He hurriedly gives him two sword types, but they are only at Advanced Grade; at least the armour type is a Supernatural Grade.
As the two of them appear on the battlefield, they immediately go on a massacre. Along with them is Glutton; he might not be in the true realm of the Supernaturals, but he is one of them nonetheless.
Their presence lights up the hope that is dwindling down in the hearts of their comrades. With renewed vigour, the genetic warriors let out their battle cry and pushed on once again.
He cannot transform right now as the dragon-tiger transformation is currently sealed with the disappearance of the malevolent tiger spirit. The system stated to him that to unseal this ability, he has to obtain a tiger and dragon pet-type soul blessing for the spirit of the dragon and tiger to possess.
He decided to not rely on his transformation for now and use his new trait that he obtained from Leon, not the sense sharing but the sword heart. Both of them can share their experience in using swords and even their sword intent. If he obtains another soul blessing from a sword slave, the two of them can improve twice, no, ten times as fast as before.
Seeing how easily the three of them massacre their targets, the entity watching from behind the tide of genetic lifeforms was furious and issued a loud roar, only to be met by a fierce retaliation from the Thundercloud dragon spirit.
As long as it is present, the true supernatural beings and above are forbidden to make a move. Cleo laughs out loud, feeling great; unlike the malevolent tiger spirit, the thundercloud dragon spirit likes being with him.
It was created by the Gemstone of Life and the power of the lightning tribulation; it is similar to his pets, who are completely reliant on him for growth.
The Malevolent Tiger spirit can absorb flesh, blood, and soul to increase its strength; the only reason it was unable to get out of him was because of the system's greed towards the Gemstone of Life.
BAM! Without the interference of the mysterious entity, the three instantly resume their killing spree, causing the genetic lifeforms to cry in despair.
Cleo looks at Glutton with his eyebrow raised. He was actually equal to a supernatural-grade lifeform, even though it was a fake one. It is still shocking, and he still has no idea that Glutton has trespassed in the realm of supernaturals.
