Chapter ?1088 The Dragon King VS The Vampire Venerable
-----
The Moment Drake was grasped by the Venerable Of Blood, he decided to gamble for it. He knew that he could get devoured this instant, but he had an obvious ace, his own Unique Skill: Immortal Body!
He had never truly explored its complete capabilities, but his own Immortal Body had evolved constantly over time, many times over. Not only that but he held Parasitic Powers he had acquired by devouring a myriad of monsters and beasts, including the vicious slimes.
Drake gambled for it and allowed the bastard of the Vampire Venerable devour him!
(Drake's POV)
My body was consumed.
My scales were devoured.
My flesh was melted.
My blood was drank.
My bones eaten.
My divine core shattered and swallowed.
And my soul… bitten countless times and then absorbed.
The moment I decided to gamble this, I didn't falter.
The agony of what I was going through was nothing before the absolute destruction this bastard would cause all around the world if I allowed him to move as he was.
Even if by letting myself getting eaten, I wanted to gamble and see what could happen.
And lo and behold, it worked.
As the Venerable devoured me, I felt a strange sensation.
Of course, I still existed.
I already had another body, a divided body in Heaven Port, which I was preparing to come here at any moment.
I had believed these memories I made in this consciousness would simply travel to the other.
However, it was different!
This consciousness, the soul fragment I was, which was the same as the one I was back in Heaven Port remained!
It was a strange thing.
Even when my very being was consumed, I remained.
Blurry system messages showed within my vision, as I submerged myself in an endless sea of abyssal darkness…
[The [Unique Skill: Immortal Body (SSS)] Divine Ability has reacted to the current scenario!]
[Divine Power has been used to retain a level of immortality within the boundaries of existence.]
[As a result of your existence within nonexistence, the Void Element has been unlocked.]
[You acquired [Void Attribute Affinity]
Void… what is this?
Existence within nonexistence?
Amazing.
It only means that my own will and soul remain, and even my flesh! I am alive, even while being fused with the Venerable's soul and vessel by being eaten.
He certainly didn't shat after eating me, so where would all my flesh and soul go then? To his very body.
Dispersed all over his body as countless little particles he assimilated to become stronger.
Every cell, every particle remained as mine, even when it melded with his own.
This was… the same as being a Parasite, in a way.
Fine, that's fine by me!
Just like when I did it when I explored the Dimension of the System, I simply had to gather the power of my consciousness and my will, the same way I do when I travel inside souls and also inside dreams…
And then simply materialize it into an Astral Projection!
F L A A A A A A A S S S S H H!
My body quickly re-emerged within the darkness; my dragon shaped Astral Projection.
"Huh?!"
And then I heard his voice, the Venerable quickly reacted to my presence within the interior of his soul!
The darkness quickly dissipated as countless red eyes greeted me within an endless chamber made of twisting flesh.
All eyes directed at me.
"You?! Why are you…?! How is this possible?!"
"Not even I am sure, but I guess as long as I got the Divine Power… I am really Immortal."
Ding!
[You have exchanged 2500000 Divine Power]
[You acquired the [Soul Parasite (A)] Divine Ability!]
-----
[Soul Parasite (A)]
The Ability that only Masters of Soul Manipulation can utilize. By shaping and imbuing divine power into the user's soul, it is possibly to parasitize a foe's soul through special Soul Techniques and other Extreme Methods. Parasitizing a Soul comes with several benefits and aftereffects as well as great dangers.
Once a Soul is Parasitized, if the Will of the Parasitized Soul is strong, a battle of Wills will ensue, the winning Will shall devour the other and assimilate both souls together. However, this Divine Ability is naturally created to facilitate this process.
Enhances Soul Power, Soul Resiliency, and Soul Regeneration by +100% while Parasitizing another Soul. Facilitates the Extraction and Absorption of Divine Power from the parasitized soul, while lowering all the Soul Stats of the Parasitized Soul by -50%.
-----
Without hesitating, I purchased a Divine Ability I had seen before and utilized it to reinforce my power over the Venerable's Soul. The moment I did so, the power of my Soul grew stronger, as I started to absorb more and more of the Venerable's power to myself, taking back what was taken from me.
FLAAAASH!
"Unnggh..! AAAGH! W-What is this power?!"
The Vampire Venerable panicked, his eyes filled with utter rage and agony at the same time! The power that exuded from within my soul was new. It felt as if I had latched into his larger soul like a small and despicable parasite, but slowly, I weakened him and siphoned his strength to my own.
This was the perfect opportunity to try out this Divine Ability after all! I was right in picking it up despite the expensive price it had. A stream of energy reached my Astral Projection, my Will grew stronger as a result!
"Youuu! How have you done this?! You dare try to parasitize my soul?! You are merely an ant before me! I have achieved the impossible with my might! You're merely… just nothing at all!"
His prideful fury confronted my Will, as our two Wills battled against one another. There was no fist-to-fist fight, just a blast between forces, between the energy of our souls, two endless rays of power!
CLAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!
My Soul shone bright silver and gold, while the Venerable's soul shone red and black.
"I won't lose, not after all the promises I've made."
