Chapter 214: Mantle and Lucas

Somewhere in the Western Part of the Europe Continent,

A man was standing in front of the rock. He was dressed in a red t-shirt and blue jeans. He raised his hand with his eyes closed. Slowly, blue energy emanates from him and coating his arm. The black figure appears behind him in an instant.

The figure had a gloomy appearance, with black wings and black horns. That figure was intangible since it appeared only when the man used blue energy. He opens his eyes and punches the rock after he has finished coating his arm.

Bang!

The punch hits in the rock's middle. But nothing happens for a brief moment. He takes a long breath and pulls his fist back. But, at this point, it was clear that his fist had not even touched the rock.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang!

The man takes a deep breath as he removes the blue energy from his fist. The rook in front of him fractured in many places and eventually crumbled into bits.

Clap! Clap!

"It appears you have attained Blue Level comprehension of the Devil's Spirit. Amazing!" A man in a red robe moved around while clapping his hands.

"Daniel, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on the lookout for a new partner." The man spoke to Daniel as he moved towards another rock.

"That is why I have come. Congratulation! Mantle, King has finally made us a team." Daniel smiled broadly and extended his hand.

Mantle shifted his gaze to his hand, then back to his face, and inquired "What's the mission?"

"How getting cold!" Daniel laughed as he simulated a shiver. "Well, he stated you need to increase your cultivation because you'll be entering the Divine Tomb with him." That is why we must enter the Ascending to Godhood and strengthen our cultivation."

His eyes widened as he added, "And, your opponent has lately made tremendous news by completely destroying the Atharos. And then there's Lucas. He seemed to have comprehended both Slaughter Spirit and Sword Spirit."

Mantle's eyes became red as soon as he heard the words, and the blue spirit surged higher from his body. But he quickly took a big breath and expelled his blue spirit. His eyes had returned to normal, but they were still filled with malice as he spoke.

"Let's go!"

Inside the Ascending to Godhood,

A young man wandered along the meadow, his mind wandering. He emerged in a barren place as he traveled across the grassland, where he couldn't detect any form of a living person.

However, he could detect a menacing aura emanating from his surroundings. He said, "So, here is the spot he was talking about," as he stared at the Bookmark Map Device.

"Zombie King's Tomb! A figure comparable to Demon King Atharos in appearance. Although I can't fight him, I want to see how much better I've gotten since awakening the bloodline."

Lucas' hand was adorned with a sword. Black wings came behind him at the same time.

His spirits were both only at the Red Level. It was improved as a result of his bloodline's metamorphosis. His cultivation has likewise advanced to the seventh rank of the General Realm. He got five ranks evolution and three ranks from his lineage as a result of that raid.

"Hu!" His eyes sparkle with purple lightning as soon as he lets out a deep breath. During his bloodline, it was also enhanced. It was now SSS-Rank Lightning. Lauren's Storm Dragon Blood has also attained SSS-Rank.

That is why, in addition to her genetic skill, she was able to become the Heavenly Maiden. In other words, Lucas possessed no less ability than a Heavenly Maiden.

"Lightning Domain!"

"Lightning Dragon Sword Art- Crazy Rolling Thunder!"

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

The lightning domain appeared around him all of a sudden. His body reacted to the lightning in a second as he teleported each lightning bolt. The domain has engulfed the entire horde of zombies. His sword slashes the skeletons in half as soon as he moves.

Bang!

But then, out of nowhere, a zombie in golden armor emerges in front of him and slashes his sword. Despite the fact that Lucas's abilities allowed him to see the zombie attack, he was shaken when he used his sword to deflect it.

His legs crouched as he felt the zombie in golden armor's tremendous physical tyranny. He flipped above the undead while holding the blade in both hands. Another sword emerged on his left hand while he was in the air.

"Lightning Dragon Sword Art- Little Boy!"

He controlled his body in the air and released all of the lightning on his swords. His swords crashed down without emitting a speck of light as soon as he emerged a few inches above the undead in golden armor.

Boom!

The impact caused a massive explosion just as the golden armor zombie slashed his sword up to stop Lucas. The lightning scattered everywhere in a thousand degrees Celsius searing heat smashed the ground into a massive crater.

However, neither the heat produced by the lightning explosion nor the destructiveness of the lightning struck Lucas. He slams the golden zombie's head within the explosion and somersaults a few meters away.

He had to take one of the swords out of his mouth when he squeezed the head. He turned around as soon as his feet touched the ground and stood calmly within the blast.

Whoosh!

The dust and the tremendous heat were suddenly blown away by a force. Lucas blinks his eyes open and gives a serious expression as soon as he notices this. He mutters as he returns his weapons to his inventory.

The zombie stood in front of him, wielding his sword, but his golden armor was shattered.

"It's time to give it a shot."

The lightning scatters about his body as soon as he speaks that. He smacks his hand on the ground and exclaims, "Lightning!"

His voice becomes so loud that even zombies can hear it. It raises his brows and tightens his grip on his blade, waiting for Lucas to make a move.

"Escape!"

Lucas' body morphs into a bolt of lightning in an instant. He was truly morphing into lightning, despite the fact that it wasn't a speed force. A person can only achieve it if he is 100 percent in tune with his intrinsic ability.

Whoosh!

Lucas fades from vision as he becomes perplexed. His brow veins exploded, causing him to elevate his face and yell.

"HOW DO YOU DARE, HUMAN?"

The noise was so powerful that it shook everything within a mile. Fortunately, Lucas had already departed from that range.

Mike was lying on his bed with his right hand behind his head at the same moment. He was staring at the ceiling, trying to come up with something.

'Why am I falling asleep?'

'I should concentrate on that instead of sleeping.'

'My Zombie Mode promotes my physical qualities, whilst Godspeed Mode improves my physical attributes as well as lightning power. During the last attack, I was able to employ Godspeed Mode to teleport.'

'Instead of using regular lightning, I could employ the speed force to fully comprehend my surroundings. That is exactly what I did. I was able to make a portal faster and run within it as a result of it.'

'This allows me to be faster than normal teleportation. But, if someone understands this trick, they can instantly cut down the portal, someone like a swordsman. That means if my path is cut down, I could end anywhere in the cosmos since Space-Time is the curve, not round or straight.'

'In addition, if one coordinate connects the path between me and the target, the coordination near that point may connect me to another region of the universe. I need to be more careful about that.'

'If I'm not mistaken, I still lack strength in the face of that son of a b*tch and other geniuses. After system updates, I will be able to increase my strength. So, what should I design? Ahh! I forgot to inquire about the poison with Claire.'

'Wait a minute, what if the celestial bloodline couldn't rid itself of that poison?' As Alena disclosed, that poison could be the root of my deficiencies. Perhaps my angelic ancestry was not as potent as she had hoped.'

'This implies I can't activate Zombie Mode until I reach the King Realm. Hmm! What if I could make something that could both cure my own body and help me withstand poison? Wait a minute, too much medicine is poisonous. Learning medicine entails learning poison as well.'

'They can't, though, because they don't have appropriate control. But I'm not one of them. Even if the gap is significant, I can still do anything I want as long as I can think of a skill. A skill that can heal as well as control poison.'

'That's it! That will be my next Pioneer Spell.'
