Chapter 183 - The Shadow Knight (1/2)
”You're here? I've been waiting a long time for you to make your appearance as well. Judging from what you've just said, you're definitely one of those wraiths that feed on spirits to grow stronger. Am I right?” Pausing before the question, Nightin words were like a thunder that went boom in the mind of the incoming wraith as it froze on the spot, revealing its body against its own will.
For an expert of this cultivation, hiding their presence was extremely easy. But it's a different story for a wraith as if their heart beats for even one tempo faster, then their body will reveal itself fully regardless of the situation.
”If you had not mentioned souls, I would have thought that you're a Demigod who lost a fraction of your strength due to an injury. But now, you're just a Demigod stuck at the peak of the first transformation ever since a long time ago, your fate has already been sealed by the shackles of time.”
Before the Dark Knight can even react, Nightin got him to pay attention at the sidelines and prepare to help him.
The Dark Knight understood Nightin's intentions and stepped aside, the sword in his hand changed into a shield that can spawn before Nightin and prevent him from getting struck by any sudden attacks instantly.
Flames blazed the ground without dealing them any damage, the flames were a violet colour as they accompanied the sword and struck the opponent like a tornado.
”Your cultivation is still too low even though you have discerning eyes, young chap.” The wraith face was pale white to begin with, but the scythe of it was still a weapon that possessed the true intent of soul reaping.
The wraith then slashed its scythe forward, the attack accompanied by a soul wisp and thin barrier of wind energy to strengthen the final clash.
As for exposing itself, it paid no heed to that matter since it had already happened quite a few times in the past. Also, the prey this time was too weak for it to put up any form of wariness.
Soul reaping, the extracting of one soul to inflict the greatest extent of pain onto any living being. It's just like using a sharp blade to slice onto the bare skin of any mortal, the wound so deep that it reaches the bone, the bleeding of the grievous wound unable to be stopped.
”Wrath of the phoenix!” Flames spiralled around the sword as they parried the scythe away to keep it away from any contact from the body of its master.
”It's no use, the effect of the soul leashing will go from your weapon onto you.”
”You seriously underestimate the intensity of my flames.”
When Nightin said this, violet flames cloaked his body like a robe, his eyes fully taking on the enchanted violet colour with his samsara eyes fully opened. The wisp of soul extraction energy was combusted into fuel for the flames, devouring that wisp of soul alive as it became a fire sprite that resembles an eel, turning its fangs against its master instead of the supposed enemy.
”Young lad, don't you know that it's a taboo to be hunting down the soul wisp of us wraiths?” When the wraith questioned in anger, tens of tentacles flopping around, threatening to avenge their fallen allies.
”It doesn't matter so long as I can take you down. By the way, have you seen the reverse arts of the samsara law?” Nightin sneered, prepared to give the newfound ability a shot. The ability he obtained upon destroying the third gate.
Before him, a violet diagram of Yin and Yang appeared in the air, but one was of green while the other was crimson.
”Samsara reversal law of the elements!”
When Nightin casted this, he could feel the spirit energy in his body draining rapidly as he fell onto the ground, losing the ability of even flight as beads of sweats rolled down his face.
Damn it, I awakened this move way too early on. Nightin cursed, realising that even though he can execute this move, it's only for comprehending. until he can make full use of Demi energy.
