Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1262: The Order Welcomes A Worthy Master! (6)



Skullius was not a fan of this subject. He would rather not think about it at all, but it kept cropping up when things seemed too out of the ordinary. He was ashamed to admit it, but even as a Divine, the name of this being - the Wanderer - and the flashes he had from Fulgardt's memories of him, gave him (Skullius) chills. He felt like he had no business looking for anything to do with that being.

But at the same time, if this being linked to Fulgardt, then to the great void... didn't that mean that Serenity should know something about it?

Skullius took a moment to consider.

Serenity had said before that she had her reasons for wanting to leave this reality and wouldn't share so casually. From this, he gathered that there was a lot of dark stuff he didn't know about her. (Obviously.)

Serenity's answer to his question just now was probably another indication as to her inability or reluctance to share more. Skullius was sure she knew something about the Wanderer, but he wouldn't probe. He wasn't sure he wanted to know just yet.

Thus, Skullius looked through his other Andori.

There were two Andori that belonged to the same style of attack, it seemed: True Severance Elusive Meta Carver and Ruining Cutter. Both were derivatives of [Infinite Sword God: Primordial Sword], edited by the phantoms.

[Elusive Meta Carver], according to the guidance field, was an invisible cutting technique that only struck against inanimate objects and concepts. It would not hit anything with a physical body. This had been the trade-off the phantoms had created to make it more powerful, and indeed, it was supposed to be lethal against its intangible targets.

[Ruining Cutter], on the other hand, was a visible technique that only hit physical matter. It was also a little slower than its counterpart as part of the trade-off to make it more powerful. In terms of the damage it dealt, it was supposed to be twice as strong as [Elusive Meta Carver].

As powerful as these Andori were, Skullius was a bit distressed by their cost. Each slash released required 5 units of Amras.

This didn't seem like a lot, but when battling against strong Divine beings, Skullius was sure he would start to miss his abuse of the mana system here on Aigas.

"It's crazy. [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus] is way cheaper than this. It only needs to be cast once with 30 units of Amras and aside from its active functions, I don't need to expend more than 10 units of Armas for passive benefits. Even Dawnlight and Twilight aren't that expensive. Creating the new Phantasmic Retainers barely cost me 20 units of Amras," Skullius said and cursed. Susu'k behind him flinched.

"I imagine it will take more than a few slashes from both [Elusive Meta Carver] and [Ruining Cutter] for even the mildest of strong Divine opponents. Well, I suppose this is the burden of the Default Body."

Speaking of the bodies, Skullius turned to the Andori that managed his Default and War Bodies: [Instant Embodiment of Perfection].

This Andori consumed 200 units of Amras to bring forth Skullius' War Body and stow away the Default Body. It then cost 100 units of Amras every hour the War Body was active. It was quite pricey, but there was no cooldown. Skullius could switch between his forms seamlessly if he needed to save on Amras.

On top of this, Skullius was sure his War Body was capable enough to deal with many foes his Default Body couldn't. Most of the ingenuity of the phantoms had been poured into it, along with other abilities and tricks that he denied his Default Body - like the Warmoth Spine, billions of Null Exp and many other things.

The Default Body fused just the bodies Skullius had added into the fusion process, but the War Body seamlessly merged his Classes too!

Skullius wasn't willing to expend Amras just to check out his War Body right now though. Thus, he checked the [Legion Eyes] next, his second most powerful Andori.

The [Legion Eyes] allowed Skullius to perceive reality in 64 states along with removing the defences of anything he used them on, leaving targets in the most vulnerable state possible. Weaker opponents would be killed simply by a prolonged stare; the longer Skullius' gaze lingered, the longer they would have to endure being in the state of weakness.

This Andori possessed the properties of the [Heart of Revelation] as well as Delight's Pursuit, one of the Seeds of the Fruit of World Myths that trapped its victims in a pleasurous dream.

"It's nice that this Andori doesn't simply attack living things. I suppose if I used it in Aigas, I would be able to see that well with the Eternal Drakkens - the Richness of Aigas in Edagon. I wonder how it will be in practise," Skullius said.

He had been about to check his Parlous Natures next, when his innate senses picked up the slightest bit of movement from several meters in front of him.

Blobs of incorporeal yet lively entities were inching closer and closer to Skullius.

It was the WILLS of Fulgardt!

Skullius scoffed.

"I suppose it wasn't going to be that simple to get rid of them," he said and he raised one of his arms and propped up two fingers in the direction of the WILLS. "Let's see if this will

work."

At once, Skullius used [Elusive Meta Carver].

Even in his 'vision' nothing registered, but the entire Second Layer of the Empyrean Hatcher vibrated slightly in response to the power of the carving technique!

A vicious clapping noise was expelled on impact!

"Hmph."

Skullius clicked his tongue.

The WILLS he had targeted were completely unharmed. Not an ounce of damage had

registered on them!

To think the WILLS were that powerful.

Was [Elusive Meta Carver] too weak?

"Jan`ind."

Susu'k spoke, his head hung low. When Skullius turned to him, he prostrated himself.

"If I may be allowed to be speak," he said and paused.

Skullius raised a brow.

"If you never address me as Jan`ind again, then yes," he replied sternly.

He had a bit of petty bitterness over that title and the veneration Susu'k and that damned piece of armour in the Warmoth's Treasury had sprayed towards it. Everything had wanted him to follow after the Warmoth to inherit that title.

"Of course... master," Susu'k said, slightly shaking. When he didn't hear any reproach, he continued. "It appears to me that no amount of power you exert will damage those

unfounded globes."

Skullius narrowed his eyes.

"Why is that?"

"Forgive my insolence, master, but since you are a fresh Divine being, you might not know. It

is impossible to deliver a final blow to a Divine being without targeting the space between their body and soul. My older master always used to say, a prepared Divine mind is immortal. I believe what you are dealing with, is the same."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
