Chapter 635 Brutes

Chapter 635 Brutes

Zeke was knocked out in a second. On the spot. Just like that.

Michael had to insert some lifeforce and origin energy into Zeke to bring him back. He regained consciousness but couldn't recall what happened. All Zeke recalled was that Lincoln counted down to start the battle. The next thing he remembered was waking up.

"What did you d-...." Zeke couldn't even finish the question as burning pain spread through his head and chest. It felt like his brain had been set on fire.

"I enhanced Spirit Eyes with two more Soultraits to unleash a powerful spiritual attack," Michael answered calmly. He didn't have to go into detail. Zeke understood him right away.

"Your Spirit Eyes Soultrait...is stronger than my Eye of Illusion?" He responded, his heterochromia eyes locked onto Michael's vibrant golden eyes.

"Spirit Eyes is a Soultrait, which fused naturally from two highly compatible Soultraits. Both were 6-Star Soultraits when they fused. It's no surprise that Spirit Eyes is a little bit stronger than most 6-Star Soultraits."

Michael knew that he didn't have to explain everything, but he wanted to give Zeke some understanding of the situation and how his Eye of Illusion had been overwhelmed so easily.

However, Zeke was having a hard time comprehending what had just happened. He didn't want to acknowledge his loss, but he could instinctively tell that his Eye of Illusion was going to be useless against Michael. Even if he managed to unleash Eye of Illusion's full power, Zeke felt that Michael's Spirit Eyes would be able to see through the illusions.

'My Soultrait is useless against Michael.'

The only people strong enough to see through his superior illusions were Higher Lifeforms with highly refined minds or the stronger members of the Lavita household. It was exceedingly rare for others to be able to see through the Lavia household's illusions. Illusions were the reason how they'd grown to High Nobles. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I want to fight you as well!" Lincoln declared suddenly.

Well, it was not that sudden. Lincoln Piedra had been waiting for this moment since he watched Michael's spar with Kaleb.

Zeke was still flabbergasted but he moved aside to make space for his childhood friend. Lincoln patted his friend's shoulder lightly to comfort him before his attention turned to Michael.

"I hope you're ready for a fierce battle!" Lincoln said while manifesting a necklace. It was a Tier-3 Artifact.

Michael hadn't seen Lincoln use the necklace artifact before, but that was probably because Lincoln advanced to Tier-3 not too long ago. He replaced his customized Epic Tier-2 Gloves with the Tier-3 Necklace Artifact.

'A Legendary Artifact?' Michael could tell that the necklace was special via Spirit Eyes. It felt like the essence of earth, or mother nature had been infused into the necklace.

"Go!"

Michael didn't hear the countdown, but he noticed that the excited smile on Lincoln's face had been replaced with seriousness. Lincoln was ready to go all out.

Lincoln was surprised, shocked even, but he reacted quickly. He twisted his body and manifested several Earthen Walls between him and Michael to spend a second or two regrowing the rock and earthen layers Michael possessed crushed.

Michael clicked his tongue when he saw through Spirit Eyes what was happening. He crushed the Earthen walls only to notice that the Soul Power amassed within the Superior Constitution Soultrait was about to be used up. Michael was a bit sad that it was already about to end and applied four layers of Enhancement to finish the battle before Heavenly Beast Physique would use the last bits of Soul Power within him.

The sudden burst in power and speed granted from Enhancement's four layers was more than enough to take Lincoln by surprise.

Michael appeared above Lincoln and kicked his huge head firmly. Lincoln reacted quickly and managed to manifest an Earthen Shield around his head even though he was surprised.

Unfortunately, the Earthen Shield was not strong enough to slow down Michael's fierce kick. The shield burst and the rocks coating Lincoln's head shattered.

Michael didn't hold back, at all. He used every bit of strength within him to kick Lincoln with as much force as possible.

Lincoln was knocked out cold.

His humongous, transformed body crashed hard onto the arena tiles.

Michael looked down at his leg and noticed with a grim smile that he was bleeding profusely.

"Looks like his defense is stronger than I expected," He chuckled lightly and waited until the Medic team of Awakened arrived to tend to Lincoln. They took care of his leg as well, saving some energy from using Archangel's Grace.

"That was...great," Lincoln stated reluctantly when he regained his senses. He looked at Michael who smiled back at him.

"Once you have a Custom Soul Technique, you will be much stronger than this."

Lincoln smiled wryly and he was about to say something when Alice Zenovia and the others appeared.

"Great. It's my turn now–..." Alice said, only for Oliver Zeus to step forward. The fire in his eyes spoke volumes as he locked eyes with Michael.

Oliver Zeus was fired up watching Michael fight three Descendants in a row.

"I want to fight you!" He said, electricity currents revolving around his upper body, "Go all out. I want to fight you at your strongest, little brat!"

[A/N: The author is back in business. How do you like Michael's overbearing power? How will his friends react once Michael ascends to a Higher Lifeform? Will they be able to spar with him, or will they be left behind? What do you believe will happen with the friendship between Michael and the Zenovia, Piedra, and Lavitas family? How will their dynamic change in the future? And how will his fight with Oliver Zeus end? :D

Leave a review if you haven't done that yet hehe.]
