The five elves were beautiful as they were strong since they were hand-picked by Sahrona themselves.Their bodies were seemingly sculpted from marble, and the auras they emanated as they tried to protect their excellency were at the level that it almost shook me when they combined them together.With a snap of the fingers, the elves' naked bodies were covered by special armor as swords appeared in their hands, Sahrona themselves got their special armor on their body as I and the elders looked at each other, the difficulty to ending this fight had increased by a few times now.Sikaw frowned as he looked at me and said:"We should have warned you about the personal bodyguards earlier, but they hid so well among the bodies of the other elves that participated in the orgy that we weren't able to identify them until they revealed themselves."There were 2 males and 3 females among the personal bodyguards, their features were crystalline clear, they were all blonde, and they had quite short
Now that the head of the snake was cut off, the body remained trashing on the ground.Since Sahrona jumped ship, all we had to do was find out if any blood elves from the army survived, then help them out before taking over all three cities!The elders looked at me and said:"Should we try to see if any survivors from our side remain?"I nodded and followed them out of this 'sex room' before glancing back at it and channeling some energy in my left hand, destroying the room with an accurate release of fire elemental energy.After gaining the elf body and bloodline, my knowledge about elemental energy had soared due to the bloodline memories hidden in my blood, so I was able to use basic elemental energy, powered with my high amount of energy, I could create fiery death balls whenever I wanted.Of course, I couldn't do great appliances like shaping the energy or creating a deadly elemental technique like Sahrona could, my talent still wasn't up to par for that.However, having the basi
After talking things through with Ludeus, he told me that he would arrive in two days because they had to clean up some things and store their troops safely before arriving at the elf capital.After finding the superior gravity tower in the upper city, I only sat there on the highest floor, meditating amongst the highest gravity the tower could produce.My body needed some highly dangerous environment to quicken the adaptation period, so I could grow stronger once again. I have burned through quite a lot of the energy I absorbed from Sahrona when I fought the five elite bodyguards, but I still had some left in my body, and the gravity helped me absorb it very very slowly.The moment my body adapted slightly, some of that energy would seep into that point and strengthen it for a very minuscule amount.Time slowly passed and those two days went by, and before I knew it, I woke up to Ludeus's face appearing in front of mine.He was a little bit too close for comfort, and the body he was
The third eye on my forehead felt rather sore for some reason, and before I knew it, some information from my brain left and entered the eye directly!The eye felt like it was on fire for a few seconds as I unconsciously closed it. Ludeus came closer to me and nodded before patting my shoulder once again and saying:"Didn't you have a hard time because your oracle ability was cut off in here?"I didn't tell him about that... How did he know?Seeing my puzzled expression as my third eye finally settled down, he started explaining:"The reason I gave you your third eye is to improve your oracle ability without having to teach you anything, since you wouldn't be able to learn it anyways, I gave you an outlet for your oracle ability that can't be interfered with."I opened my third eye as Ludeus did a demonstration for me, I could see a silhouette that resembled Ludeus behind him charging an energy ball sneakily, so I immediately dodged to the side preemptively, making Ludeus miss."And t
After Ludeus killed the 20 elves and made them his subordinates, we left the underground mining area and started to wander through the base middle city. I would occasionally use my new third eye to get used to it and improve my resistance to the slight side effects. I wasn't sure why we were wandering under Ludeus's invisibility veil, but soon enough I got my answer: "Minato, it's time for us to leave, appoint someone from the blood elf tribe as the leader of this place, we have to talk with the others from the north continent about the invasion, and I would like for you to be by my side during the meeting." I didn't have any attachments to this place, so I met up with Sikaw and the elders before telling them the truth, and introducing them to Ludeus. At first, they didn't believe it, but Ludeus could be quite persuasive, and his strength was so far above Sahrona's that even if they didn't want to be subsidiary subordinates to him, they couldn't refuse. After that, I appointed Sik
Ludeus clutched his head as he felt weakened, but he didn't drop to the ground in front of the demon, he stood still for a few seconds and chanted some words, creating a fire and wind barrier around his body that protected him from the influence of the demonic being.I was paralyzed by the same influence, but a little bit of Ludeus's barrier came my way and resuscitated my body from its stasis as I started to take in deep breaths.The face on the centipede's head rose its eyebrows as it looked at Ludeus and said:"Fire Church Maiden bloodline of the Fire God, 60% awakened, pure Wind God techniques and an excellent soul."With one glance, it saw through all of Ludeus's secrets, but Ludeus kept his face serious as he said:"Tell me the contents of the mission that Minato has to go through. If it's something way above his current strength, I will refuse, regardless of what you say or do!"A chuckle came out of the small face's mouth as it continued:"How cute, you still think you can do
I started by attacking with a feint and appearing in front of the wraith afterward, but my hands went directly through him!Shuria shook his head as he looked at me and pointed two fingers at me. I could feel three daggers being impaled in my chest as I coughed out nothing. Since we were in my mental place, there was no blood to be coughed here, but I felt that the surroundings started to shake after I had taken those spectral daggers to the chest.Which meant that my mental palace would break down if my apparition here was damaged too much, I wasn't sure if the wraith would be free if that happened, but I didn't want to find out.I concentrated on my energy and sent it to my soul as I charged an elemental ball that I threw at Shuria, only for him to snort as he taunted:"Elemental energy against an elf? Your technique lacks any finesse, it's so basic that even a 5-year-old elf would be able to do better!"He deflected the energy ball, but what he didn't expect was for a bunch of dark
After I lost consciousness, my soul wandered for a while before Ludeus connected me with the wraith's mental space, making me appear in the same foggy place just like before.This time around, there were many cracks in the sky, and I could feel that the sun behind it was slowly poking its head out.I wasn't sure if this meant the wraith was getting weaker, or stronger.I concentrated my energy, to scan the surroundings, and I found Shuria skulking on the ground, seemingly not realizing that I have connected to his mindscape once again.He was pretty weakened, and I could feel that there was also something wrong with him, which was the best situation for me.I stealthily approached him from behind as I thrust my hand through his chest, grabbing ahold of his heart and squeezing it tightly, this should be the place where his true soul lay.However, an electric current mixed with a toxic sharp breeze hit me from the front as Shuria's neck moved until his head faced me, even though his bod
(WARNING, VERY LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!) The devil's red eyes were hypnotizingly horrid as they taunted me insidiously. The way he raised his eyebrow as he kept the leaders of the alliance bay e made me know that he was slowly getting his strength back. Sooner or later, he would be able to push both of them back and kill them! His body language told it so, the facts told it so, and the two alliance leaders knew it as well, it was obvious from the perspiration that was flowing down from their foreheads that things weren't as good as they seemed on the surface. Was death that close to me? I could feel blood gurgling in my throat as the devil sent a claw through space to immediately appear in front of my throat and pierce it. However, my instincts were still as sharp as ever, so I was able to barely take a step back before the claw would fully penetrate my throat and tear it out. I glared at the offending appendage that almost ripped my throat out, but a finger snap made the insides of
The devil didn't have enough time to retrieve all of his fragments, thus stopping at the strength of around 24 mastered laws. However, this amount of strength was still too high for me to deal with. The two alliance leaders nodded at each other before looking at me and saying: "You have done your best, but your incompetent allies dragged you down, you can go now, there is nothing you could do in this type of fight anymore." I wanted to leave since I was given permission, but could I? The devil's red eyes targeted me immediately after he regained his bearings from being hit by the dual uppercut. "You... yes, the fragments told me about you." "You have interfered with me countless times, do you think that I will let you go that easily?!" The devil opened his mouth and started to spit flames at me, his gigantic body immediately shrunk to a smaller human-sized form as he fought back and forth with the two alliance leaders, he knew that he wouldn't be able to recover all of his frag
I could feel my hearts jump into my throat as I looked at the recovering magic circle, I failed?I clutched my chest as I growled at the encircling demons, making them take a few steps back as they understood that they were way over their heads by attempting to attack me, even though I haven't fully recovered my energy after I launched that nuke at the immobile devil fragments, the 17 laws that flowed around my body created an impenetrable shield that not many people would be able to break.The demons may be scared by me, but they were all emboldened by the fact that one of the fragments had survived and melded with the magic circle!I wasn't entirely sure what the circle was supposed to do, but it was certainly nothing good.I wanted to fly towards it and break it apart now that there was no one to protect it, but the demons that were previously scared of me started to create a wall of bodies as they tightened the encirclement around me, the morale of the alliance had already dropped
The distance between the two black difficulty planets was quite far away, so it took me ten hours of traveling at my quickest speed to reach it.This time around, this new planet was on full defensive mode, the fragment I killed must have told the other nearby awakened pieces about what I had done to him before his death.But at this point, where my strength had reached a whooping 17 laws, 4 of them being a specialization law, how could the flimsy barrier around this planet even withstand my strength?I punched forward, making the barrier crack and break without even having to find its weak spots.The demons that were on standby for defense crumbled along with the barrier from the shockwaves of my initial attack...Most of them were weaklings that didn't even learn one law, it looked like the devil only left behind cannon fodder...There were no ambushes as I dropped down on the planet, the weaklings that were dumb enough to get near me were squashed to death by my aura as I didn't ev
The organs of the devil fragment were certainly quite larger compared to the demons or other races that I have encountered up till now.They had a certain heavy weight to them, and I could feel that they were hard to the touch, almost like a rock.They were also in different shapes compared to the average human, or even the average humanoid specie.The heart was in a triangle shape, the lungs were square, and the liver was just like a small ball.The intestines were quite short as they seemed to have evolved for utmost efficiency in energy conversion from the stomach to the whole body.I continued to analyze the shapes of the organs before I couldn't help but be curious about their taste.I took the triangle heart with both hands since it was quite heavy and big, and I started munching on it, splattering some blood on my face.The taste was very bland, toxic even, the organs of the devil were filled with a certain poisonous substance that even bypassed the poison-proof constitution th
After comforting Shira for a bit, I could feel my hands becoming quite itchy as I felt the need to test my newly gained strength.Even though the seven laws I have plundered could be considered inferior, quantity could still be used to crush the quality opposition when it was in a high enough number.As long as my opponent had eight or below laws, I should be able to easily deal with them, as for nine and above. I had to fight someone at that level to understand my place on the strength scales a little better.I wasn't sure about the powers of the top dogs of the universe, so I had to slowly find out while messing with the devil's plans in passing.A fully awakened devil fragment who was able to get his hands on the seven sins would be equal to a normal being that had learned and mastered seven laws.He would be the perfect test partner.Fortunately, I could easily infer the location of such heavily infected planets through the alliance's medal.I was able to find out about the locati
After we left the vacation planet, we started to attack low-level corrupted planets that had a few law-wielding demons.The experimentation started from there.I started by dissecting the demons and seeing how the laws were embedded in their bodies after they have mastered them.I have attempted to learn from introspection, but I could not properly see all angles inside my body, and some places were obscured for some reason.Now, by dissecting these weaker demons, I was able to infer how the laws would settle in the body, and by extension, I might be able to learn how I could apply the devouring ability to strip them of their laws and make them mine.From what I found out, the first law would settle near the heart in the form of the element that was comprehended.The second would go onto one lung, the third on the other...Atleast that's what I thought it would go like considering that I was only able to slay and dissect demons that wielded up to 2 laws.I was able to somewhat see the
With the usage of a few bribes and some 'honeyed words' I was able to immediately regain control over the organization.I sat in the control room of the barrier as I made some adjustments to it, slowly incorporating the runes and other features that I have been able to master during the time I have been controlling the Ice Palace's barrier.This place needed an upgrade, and all I had to do was change a few things on the medium to make those changes, no extra materials were needed! Quite convenient.I had to fill my time with something while my underlings were doing their best to find out the things that I inquired about.Surprisingly, this academy had a library with quite a lot of books filled with neat tidbits of information. However, during my time in the academy, I didn't seem to be able to find such a library, even though I had visited most of the corridors and other important rooms of the academy...Quite strange...I even asked Shira if she knew that the academy had a library, b
Shira seemed to be the same, but also quite different at the same time, almost as if she was a familiar person that I haven't seen in a long while that changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable, but I would still know her because of small things, like her voice, her face, etc...Shira took my hand into hers, it was cold, very cold, it looked like she had entirely changed from her previous fire-based nature to an ice one, such a drastic shift... it should have been really painful and deadly for her.And she didn't even come to me even once when she thought about doing such a thing, was she thinking for my sake, or did she think that I would dissuade her from doing such a perilous experiment?I hugged her tightly, and she hugged me back, while her appearance and demeanor had small changes, her personality seemed to be the same.Shira giggled lightly as she broke off the hug and said:"Oww, you were worried about me?"I nodded lightly at her question and asked with a little worr
