Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1144: Weathering The King\'s Wrath! (2)

Of course, this was only temporary, especially when considering the fact all the Blessings Replicus created through the Fallen Reincarnator\'s Shadow were not imbued into his body, but could only be used when he was wielding the weapon!

Thus, as Replicus drew the string on the Transcendent grade weapon to its fullest extent with his hands - one upper and one lower - Deathward Maw\'s Primary assault function, Ordained Reverent Machination, was anchored into his two Territories firmly, becoming, for a limited time, their Primary assault function as well!

This effect, when used by Actuass on the Herald Jerthrax, had completely subjugated his soul, turning him into the necromancer\'s minion. This power was so potent that even Sause hadn\'t been able to undo it, and with this knowledge in hand, Replicus decided that Ordained Reverent Machination\'s value was imperative to his victory.

HO000000000000RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

A great bellow in a shockingly deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the odd, staggered space!

Replicus discovered to his dismay that the massive spiral of fleshy thorns that had been formed by Caxellac, had developed an enormous face. This face looked rather sad, and the giant mouth on it seemed to be crying, resulting in the aggravating noise just now which Replicus saw crack his Territory of [Maximum Catalyst] a great deal!

"Whatever you are about to do, do it now, Skullius," Replicus heard Serenity say to him from within.

This was not an unwarranted warning.

If the explosive noise from the spiral thorn was already proving to be something vicious despite it not even being an attack, what came after it only proved to Replicus that indeed, he didn\'t stand a chance against the Soul\'s Harmonising Tercet - the Serene Grace\'s three main attacks.

Many, huge hands poured from the sides and face of the gigantic thorn - which kept expanding as though to fit into the dark space full of broken Rules - and for some reason, Replicus felt a cold chill run through his body when he looked at the palms of each and every one of them, their fingers looking particularly twitchy.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but an image flickered from each of them, looking like an especially malevolent face veiled in shadow.

The Warmoth\'s Progeny couldn\'t ascertain just what power was held in those hands. It wasn\'t Null Life Essence. It wasn\'t any kind of essence he was familiar with, actually.

A phantom of his rapidly attempted to dissect how such an attack was even possible. It seemed to be way too busted!

"This... Could it be that high level Null Lifeforms can casually do like we are doing? Making new essences and concepts, I mean! Think about it! This bastard refined different types of Null Life Essence without even needing the External Fragment of Realised Choices like we did!"

Replicus thought this was probably true, but he didn\'t have the luxury to sit down and write an essay about it.

He pulled forth more Null Life Essence - the billions he had extracted from Aigas and stored in Beyrmir - and converted more of it into mana.

A resplendent arrow formed on the Fallen Reincarnator\'s Shadow, nocked on it, ready for release. But Replicus didn\'t release it yet. He imbued the effect of Ordained Reverent Machination into it through the shiny, sculpted stone above him - his second Territory! The arrow\'s brand of luminance intensified significantly, so much so that it was twice as bright as the sun at this point... but Replicus wasn\'t done yet!

For he needed to loosen this special soul arrow while it was bonded with yet another newly empowered skill of his!

"[Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent]," the Warmoth\'s Progeny called out, and in an instant, Ju`wtte exploded madly from the Fallen Reincarnator\'s Shadow, towering above and beyond both of Replicus\' Territories to tear upwards towards where the skies had been!

It splashed erratically, bolts as thick as Replicus\' entire body flying every which way, but a majority of them formed a thick, pointed shape around the special soul arrow nocked on the Fallen Reincarnator\'s Shadow, masking its brilliance entirely!

The [Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent] was the evolved version of the [Nullmancer\'s Unforgiving Lancet]. It worked quite the same, but was on a completely different league in terms of damage. All the concepts and abilities that Replicus learned through [Unbridled Wisdom of the Ascended Nullmancer] were recorded in what was called an Access Cache linked to the [Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent].

The [Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent] would strike its target with the Access Cache in calculating the prowess of the enemy. If said target had abilities even remotely similar to those that had been adapted through [Unbridled Wisdom of the Ascended Nullmancer] and recorded in the Access Cache, the snaking rod of Ju`wtte would be even more effective in its slaying duty!

While Replicus couldn\'t say that he had anything significant on Caxellac that the [Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent] could use to be more effective, he wanted its power for another, separate reason.

HO000000000000000000RRRRRRRRRR!

The many hands that had whipped out from the gigantic thorn exploded outward and hurtled towards Replicus with shocking speed!

There were too many to count, and he was sure he wouldn\'t be able to avoid being touched by

all of them!

This was it!

He had to act!

The Warmoth\'s Progeny infused every last bit of his Inverted Mana into his [Wanton Royal\'s Void-Biting Serpent], and it changed hue, going from yellowish-red to blackish-grey in no time at all!

It hissed ten times louder than before and wriggled twenty times more violently. When Replicus had used an Inverted Mana-reinforced punch against Caxellac before, he hadn\'t been able to kill him at once because he wasn\'t a mana-based organism, but the Null Devil King had taken a massive bit of damage. He had even looked apprehensive before taking

the hit.

But what about now?

What about under these circumstances?

Replicus loosened the treacherous arrow at once.

And right when he did...

[You have created a new, Reverse Supreme skill, \'True Nullmancer\'s Wretched Reaper of Ugly

Divinity\'!]

The arrow, crackling almost as loudly as the thorn\'s howl, sped ahead, but when it sank into Replicus\' second Territory, its glow intensified!

The [Maximum Neutral] Territory amplified the effect of Ordained Reverent Machination before allowing to pass with even greater speed than it had been launched with on its way

towards Caxellac!

There was a great, blinding flash.

Then there was an explosive crack.

The odd darkness shook as though to break, but this alone couldn\'t have exposed the result of

the exchange.
