Chapter 143: The Real Danger (a)

Pouring the remaining essence of life in his body into the godly matrix, he manifested his thought into the real world. Several swords appeared around him, and they were as many as the numbers of the branches coming towards him.

"Resistance is futile, and you're going to experience it in full detail."

He snapped his fingers, and each of the golden swords charged down at a speed faster than himself a step faster than himself.

The attacks of the two parties met in mid-air, and a split second later, only one side came victorious. Leaves and pieces of wood rained down, along with Elliot and his several swords, each plunging downwards in a chaotic mess.

Elliot stamped his feet on the falling substances and charged towards his enemy at an incredible speed. While doing so, he grabbed two of his swords and directed the rest towards it.

"Art of Creation, Life Severing!" He said as his six swords swirled around each other, leaving behind brilliant rays of light in mid-air before they chopped the tree into six pieces.

However, it was still alive, and that was because its soul was in the center of its body.

Though, the life left its body when Elliot came upon it and brandished his swords in a downward swing, splitting it into four more pieces and also slashing apart its soul.

<You've slain a high-level spirit warrior that was about to ascend into spirit Elite!>

<It has already condensed its liquified vitality into a core!>

<Absorb the vitality core to gain 1000 to 10000 essence of life>

As he was reading the golden words that suddenly popped up in his mind, the four pieces of its lifeless body fell on each side and crashed on the ground with a heavy thud.

A fist-sized golden core and a peanut-sized blue core came rolling towards him.

After crashing with the front of his boots, they dropped to the ground.

He immediately identified the golden one as the vitality core. Though, he had to use his special eye power to know that the blue one was the condensation of its soul!

However, the soul condensation process has only entered the initial stage, yet it met its demise.

Only an extremely small portion of its soul has condensed into what seems like a core with star-like dots on it.

At best, it could only be called a fake soul core!

Of course, even this soul core was ten times better than a remnant of the soul.

He picked them both up and then straight up put the vitality core in his mind. Immediately after, the core's surface burst in his mouth, producing a mouth-watering juice of life that went down his throat and into the pit of his stomach.

<You've gained 1000 units of the essence of life>

The vitality core exploded two more times in his mouth as its middle and lower sections simultaneously turned into waves of golden liquid that went down his throat.

He obtained 2000 more units of the most precious energy in the universe, life!

He reabsorbed his swords, gaining another several hundred units of the same energy.

"Now, I have around 4000 units of the essence of life! I can do so much more. Just thinking about it is making my blood boil!" Elliot laughed out loud. He couldn't help it. What was about to happen was making him feel excited to his bones!

His reproductive organ stood up once again to face the sky because of the Aphrodisiac effect of the golden liquid, but Elliot gave no attention to such perverted matters.

He only had one thought in his mind, hunt down the spirit trees to collect enough of the essence of life to evolve.

But first, he wanted to put the soul core into good use.

He summoned Kayn and let it eat the soul core.

<Kayn has devoured the fake soul core>

<+32 soul points gained>

<33/100 soul points>

<Kayn incomplete soul has experienced an evolution!>

<It has become a semi-incomplete soul>

<Congratulations! Your undead creature has gained a boon in its intelligence>

His creature gaining intelligence made him feel happy.

The moment he smiled, though, something happened that freaked him out!

The sky turned dark and rainy clouds appeared out of nowhere, but then a moment later, it also started thundering! The pink sky rumbled as blue streaks of lightning flashed! Heavy Winds came crashing down on the forest, making Elliot wondered what the heck is going on!

The sky turned dark and rainy clouds appeared out of nowhere, but then a moment later, it also started thundering! The pink sky rumbled as blue streaks of lightning flashed! Heavy Winds came crashing down towards the forest.

"What the heck is going on?" Elliot wondered as he looked at the skies that had suddenly gone from pink and bright to dark, murky water kind of darkness swirled above his head!

<I believe nighttime is approaching!> Suddenly, Hope's voice sounded in his ear.

"Nighttime?" Elliot's eyes widened in realization.

The copper statue had told him that this place mimics a place in the spirit world! He was stupid enough to believe that only the terrain would be the same!

Only now did he realize that it wasn't just the terrain but everything!

The changes between day and night were also different, from the amount of time it takes to the way it happens.

Just as he was coming to a realization and coming to terms with the reality of this place, a sort of sixth sense in the back of his head tingled. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up! He believed that death was approaching from above, and he jumped to the right.

"Boom!!"

A dark blue streak of lightning flashed and hit the spot where Elliot once stood, then a loud rumbling spread across the entire forest as if it was the roar of a thunder god.

The smell of burnt flesh raised in the air.
