Past Life Returner Chapter 496

Published at 30th of August 2023 02:35:32 PM

As expected, the blueprints remained even after I reversed the time. I admired the area that was imbued with divinity.

[* System]

[Doom Arukuda: Unique Power, Limitless Power (Blueprint not obtained)

Trait, Warrior's Boiling Blood (Blueprint obtained)]

I solidified my will to fight and entered the World of Souls, and everything was as it was before. The evil spirits were still covering Gold's soul, and the giant god-like figure of Arukuda was sitting on the throne.

I invited a guest for you…

There was no need to wait for him to summon Joshua.

Zap!

When I rushed in, laying down bait, he retaliated with unidentified projectiles. As a result, the use of the shield was bound there. It was a moment of thrill as he caused tremendous shockwaves.

The spectacle of that time was imprinted in my brain. In a situation where I knew a counterattack would start, I could certainly create a slight opening.

Boom boom boom!

Every time I made a consecutive leap, the shockwave collided with my shield, and the identity of the counterattack was figured out in the final shock. It had shown amazing speed even in the Realm of the Ultimate.

[Blueprint 'Doom Arukuda's Skill, Evil Spirit Explosion' has been added.]

[Evil Spirit Explosion (Blueprint)

Code: Magic (SS)

Source: Subject ― Doom Arukuda

* An evil spirit is required every time the user uses the blueprint. The power of the skill is determined by the class of the evil spirit.

* System Administrator Odin has one SS-class evil spirit (The Great Silver), fifteen S-class evil spirits, and 48,201 class or lower evil spirits (High-ranking Shaman Yapoon's Transmission Necklace).]

I didn't have time to confirm what kind of evil spirits Arukuda had summoned and exploded. My hunch said that they were at least class spirits.

At that moment, the swirl of lightning power, which extended from the end of the spear to the fist and the whole arm holding it, was completed. It was right under Arukuda's chin. I thrust the spear and blinded its front view with my wings.

Blood poured out. No, it was extremely hot bubbling lava.

[Warning: Doom Arukuda's trait 'Warrior's Boiling Blood' has been activated.]

[Warning: Check your Fire Resistance. (Negative effects, Superheat Burns)]

The time my subconscious manifested as a message coincided with the moment I released the aura of flame. The pain I had experienced even in the state of MAX Fire Resistance was truly tremendous.

If I had not completed the resistance, then I would have faced greater pain. It would have been comparable to the pain I felt when I offered my body to Doom Kaos. Things below transcendental beings could have been burnt and disappeared just by touching a drop of that blood.

Then, I noticed something strange about my wings.

I could not even retrieve my shield due to the countless evil spirits continuously exploding below. Even if it was possible, my wings were already contaminated. The sensation of moving wings had dulled, and there was noticeable stiffness occurring. Its blood indeed had an impact on my non-material wings.

[Warning: Odin's Ethereal Animal has been shattered.]

Blood that was already stuck on my wings started to pour. It stung my eyes.

[Warning: Doom Arukuda has used its Unique Power, 'Limitless Power'.]

The only thought I had when I was falling was this.

[You have created the insignia 'Time Reversal.']

I shouldn't have blocked Arukuda's blood with my wings. Therefore, I needed to create a situation where I could freely use my shield.

[Time has been reversed.]

[ * System ]

[ Doom Arukuda: Unique Power, Limitless Power (Blueprint not obtained)

Trait, Warrior's Boiling Blood (Blueprint obtained)]

Doom Kaos must have realized that time was being reversed, so I had to hurry before he interfered.

I invited a guest for you…

Chains jumped. The shockwaves were transferred to the shield by the exploding spirits. And the jaw of Arukuda...

I thrusted my spear and lifted my shield to prepare for the blood that would soon pour out. Then, evil spirits appeared, chasing after the empty space that was left when the shield was removed. It was like a continuous onslaught with a force greater than Shiva's Sword with no cooldown time.

[You have removed Devi's Sword.]

[You have created the 'Evil Spirit Explosion' skill.]

How is it, Arukuda?

[You have used 'Evil Spirit Explosion'. (Material: Elite Orc Chieftain's Evil Spirit)]

…

[You have used 'Evil Spirit Explosion'. (Material: Elite Orc Chieftain's Evil Spirit)]

I spread my wings wide and attached the tails to my exposed back.

Soon, the evil spirits that I shot started colliding with Arukuda at a further distance than before. The shockwaves heavily struck my wings and tails, but the real reason I was clenching my teeth was Arukuda's strength. Despite seeing the same ability being manifested from my fingertips, he didn't even flinch.

It seemed to have rather incited his greed. It was a time earlier than the previous two pasts.

[Doom Arukuda has used its Unique Ability 'Limitless Power.']

Yes. I was waiting for this. It was vividly implemented right in front of me. Even if my wrist broke, even if the shockwaves kept hitting, and even if my headache was about to split my skull… Even if space got completely distorted and even if I was crushed right here, I needed to confirm it again.

The section 'Ender' meant that I had reached the maximum capabilities, but Overlord meant my ability even transcended that. That area granted to Arukuda must have been part of divinity. Doom Kaos had obviously allowed such a thing to it.

“Eup.”

Without giving me a chance to focus, my wrist and neck were twisted again. It was leaning its upper body to look down at me as I was falling.

Bang, bang, bang!

This time, there were no whips aiming at my back. However, the attack coming down with part of the divinity was too dreadful to be compared to Joshua's. Its palm was getting closer, but I couldn't avoid it.

[Warning: You cannot use the Enhanced Hermes's Teleportation.]

The spacetime around me was not only cracking but also getting destroyed. The subspace could not escape from its influence either.

[Warning: The storage has been destroyed.]

The food and water bottles that I saved while wandering the Orc continents disappeared without a trace as soon as they were exposed here. My skin was getting crushed. I was barely standing.

The power imbued in the Great Silver, a steel curtain, was the only escape, but my Power figure had not been charged yet as all of them had been used to purify half of the Red's heart.

"Grrr…"

We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.

I needed to draw out its full strength somehow. Nonetheless, all I could do was rewind time again. This process would repeat nonstop. I had no choice but to use this.

[You have used 'Evil Spirit Explosion'. (Material: The Evil Spirit of The Great Silver)]

It was enough to be called an evil spirit. The soul of the Great Silver, supported by evil, expanded towards the tip of the spear.

Roaaaar-

Its cry was even more frenzied than Gold's scream. It must have known that the time it had left was fleeting, unlike Gold.

I gave up all the unnecessary skills and traits to create the Absolute Warzone.

[You have entered the Absolute Warzone.]

Then it happened immediately.

Thuuuuud!

The explosion outside shook the entire land within the barrier.

[Warning: The Absolute Warzone is on the verge of destruction.]

The barrier was breaking like shattering glass. I could see Arukuda falling back through the cracks.

[The Absolute Warzone has been destroyed.]

When the barrier was completely annihilated, the scene that had looked like a mosaic of a cathedral became whole again. Then, the lingering aftermath rushed in. The world was spinning wildly.

In fact, it wasn't the world, but me that was spinning. Probably, the force that Silver created by exploding and some force that Arukuda reflexively vomited were randomly mixed and caused this whirlwind.

[The High-ranking Shaman Yapoon's Transmission Necklace has been destroyed.]

Even in the dizzying scene, I couldn't miss the sight of all kinds of evil spirits vanishing. The evil spirits of the liberated Orcs, the spirits who were originally residents of the World of Souls, and even the spirits attached to the Great Gold were disappearing at the same time. Therefore, the noise of those that had peaked also disappeared at one point.

I stood with both legs on the ground. There wasn't much left for me either. All I had were a spear, a shield, a few skills and traits, and four major abilities.

Arukuda stood up. Even in the midst of all this, it did not give up its giant body. Therefore, its two eyes looking down at me from high in the sky were still enormous, and the moonlight-like glow was coming from there. For the first time, its mouth was not smacking.

Zap!

I realized that there was not much time left to maintain the Realm of Ultimate. He was no different, as strength was gradually pouring into his unique gaze. It was when I hammered the ground.

[Warning: Doom Arukuda has used the skill 'Unholy Soul'.]

[Warning: Your Spiritual Resistance is insufficient.]

[Warning: Your Spiritual Resistance is insufficient.]

[Warning: Your Spiritual Resistance is insufficient.]

"Uh... uh... uh..."

This was the sound coming from my mouth, and it was out of my control.

[Warning: Doom Arukuda is separating the mental world of the System Administrator.]

[Please check your Spiritual Resistance.]

It was hard to reach Arukuda.

"Ugh…"

Even when I landed, weird noises continued to flow from my mouth. Then, I suddenly felt like my body was bouncing. But damn it.

[System Administrator Odin's level has decreased to 648.]

It wasn't just the level. The power embedded in the remaining skills and traits was exactly halved. The only intact ones were the realm of the System Administrator and the realm of authority bound to Doom Kaos.

I looked at what had bounced off me. It was a translucent mental figure with the same size and face as me.

[Unholy Soul of Na Seon-Hu (Species)

It is close to an evil spirit as it is only gathered with evil.]

Level: 648]

It was glaring at me, resonating with a weird sound.

[Unholy Soul of Na Seon-Hu: It is disgusting. I can't believe someone like you is my main body.]

[Unholy Soul of Na Seon-Hu: It is better, I guess. That bastard Arukuda is as stupid as he looks. Our field of activity only expands with this. That moron is our enemy.]

[Unholy Soul of Na Seon-Hu: Strike him directly while I disrupt that bastard's field of view. We can switch roles. You are me and I am you.]

[Unholy Soul of Na Seon-Hu: However, what is clear is that I need weapons. Hurry up and take out the Great Silver. Quickly! Right now!]
