252 Taboo Existences (1/2)
Her battle power was terrifying since not only her bloodline and talent were amazing, she has had all kinds of Path Techniques and miraculous drugs at her disposal since she was born. That, plus the guidance of a Rank 6 life form, made her unmatched in all the Middle and Low Worlds she fought in.
Vapula had commanded armies in many world invasions and had always fought in numerical disadvantage, using her race bloodline, better equipment, and knowledge to defeat the enemy.
When she arrived in this world and understood the events that led to the victory of the Magi invader force and the establishment of the Ten Tower Formation, Vapula immediately rebuked the dukes and did not make the smallest effort to hide her disdain.
The Angelic Paragon could not understand how they lost so badly when they were the defending party and outnumbered the enemy almost five to one. Vapula was certain that the next battle would end up in their absolute victory.
Unfortunately for her, the outcome was the complete opposite. The Everlasting Snake Runic Set was shattered and she had lost more than one-third of the forty thousand warriors under her command as well as over half of those who had the Origin Runic Set engraved in them.
Even with her experience, she did not understand how things could have gone so wrong. But that changed when Tomas and Oliver shared with her a shocking piece of news.
The man that gave the order to butcher thousands of her people even after she told him to stop and threatened Oliver with a future worse than death, Zatiel Daybreak, was a Taboo Existence.
Vapula was surprised that the duo even knew that title, after all, the only reason she recognizes it was due to her master and it was normal for even Rank 5 life form from high worlds to not know it.
The duo explained to her that they got the information from a man who wanted to ally with them against Zatiel and that he was an enemy of his past life, the Sage. Even though Vapula disdained the act of interacting with animals, she was able to accept it in this case since if what they say is true, then her opponent was an incredibly difficult foe.
Taboo Existences were beings that could break the balance of any war in a Middle or Low World. It referred to those whose true identity was that of a Soul Law Domain life form that was forced to reincarnate.
A Rank 6 life form could live hundreds of thousands of years, and if they had domain over laws like the Law of Life or the Law of Death, then they could easily live more than one million years.
The reason why their title had the word taboo, was because most Rank 6 life forms forbid to talk about anything related to them. This was a tactical agreement between Soul Law Domain existences since none of them knew if they would be the next ones to be forced to reincarnate and start all over again as a weak life form.
Although many Rank 6 life forms would attempt to take this path at the end of their lives, the amount that truly manages to reincarnate is beneath 0.1%. Most end up fused with the Eternal River of the Afterlife and cease to exist.
The Sage had given them a plan as well many diagrams for powerful tools useful for the task and when Tomas and Oliver showed them to her, Vapula felt conflicted.
She despised from the bottom of her soul every life form that was not a member of the Heavenly race but the plan of the Sage was impeccable and she could not think of a way to improve it, so in the end, they went with it.
He also advised them to use the Mirror of Falsehood. That was a powerful artifact of the Heavenly race and to activate not only it needed an immense amount of magic crystals but also sacrifice tens of millions of souls.
Neither Vapula nor the dukes cared too much about the souls since the world was full of ”beasts” they could sacrifice but the number of magic crystals it consumed was enough to buy a Rank 6 artifact.
