Chapter 83: Truth of Soul Benders (1/2)
With a maddening shine that radiated chaos, Vance swallowed the familiar pill causing his aura to spike like crazy. Deep black veins apperied like spiderwebs aound his face as he bellowed. ”DIE ARSENE, DIE DIE DIE DIE”
Consumed in golden Flames, Vance appeared above me like a flash of golden lightning striking down with an ax kick towards my head. Yet all he met was air as I quickly sidestep, Dragosbane already piercing towards his left lung.
Blood trailed over my blade as a hollow roar of a dragon permeated my blackened soul. Like its was craving death, craving Carnage. It was not a soul attack but rather a roar of a pet wanting to feast.
Joyful at my profound spear, I gazed at Vance clenched his side as globs of blood trickled out. ”How? How? HOW?! I am twice as strong, twice as fast.”
”Is this the limit of your intelligence? Speed and power are meaningless. It doesn't matter if you are faster or stronger; for as long as I can react, I will win. All that matters is Tactics, you fool,” I sadistically whispered, rushing towards the fearful Vance as he backed away in a hurry.
<golden phenix=””> Bellowed Vance as a massive golden flame consumed the entire area. Yura had somehow vanished, leaving the bodies of Vance's crew still and broken.</golden>
Watching as the flames took the form of a Golden Phoenix, I could feel something burning within Vance as tears of blood rain from his sockets. Hovering off the floor, I quickly observed as Vance flew up into the atmosphere as he glared down with hate at me.
With his finger pointed towards me, a golden tear fell from his right eye as he wispered. ”<golden sacrificice=””>.”</golden>
Like a setting sun, my entire vision was filled with a blazing inferno as a Golden Phoenix fell towards me. There was no time to dodge, no time to release my own Artes, but I was rather too disdainful to dodge, much less meet head-on with my own Arte.
With a pulse, I could feel my emblem within my own left eye trembled. I could feel my very soul ripple out as 'Night' suddenly descended. Like a sphere of infinite darkness that devoured everything its path, I watched as the Golden Phoenix still burnin with profound power, along with Vance, vanished as if they had never existed.
Growing pale as a ghost, I fell to my knees as Yura appeared. Her face beaming with joy as she stuffed a strange pill down my throat, ”You-You-You really did it. Finally, I was waiting for you to use it. YOu really are a late bloomer.”
Confused, I felt my vision become clearer as she helped me off my knees, ”What are you talking about?” I had never felt such a powerful force like that before, and it came from within me?
”How do you think I am so powerful, Arsene? I am only at the First stage of Earth Realm yet. I can battle with Ezra so easily. Do you think you can defeat her at my level.” She questioned with a smirk as I shook my head.
”I do not, but I just thought it was due to your race? I just assumed that's how all gods are.”
”Nope, it's due to being a soul bender. What you just used is called SoulForce, one of the most powerful forces in creation. The benefits of unlocking Soul force are insane. To this day, the benefits seem limitless.”
”But it's a legendary skill that comes with being a soul bender. No one aside fomr us can use it. it doesnt matter how powerful you are, soul force belongs to soul benders.l It can boost comprehension, speed, power, defense...honesty; it does everything.” Said Yura with a joyful gleam.
