Chapter 896 Grasslands Area
Chapter 896 Grasslands Area
This ability was a nice little trump card Draco and Eva had been keeping for more difficult foes. Eva also had a corresponding Time related instant cast ability and it was just as potent.
Draco and Eva collected the spoils from killing Wunian. Once more, they had leveled up, increasing their spendable Eternal Point count to 4. Their Exp requierement went up once more, from needing 50 points at level 5 to needing 60 points at level 6. Their exp was now 4/60, which meant they had quite a way to go.
However, their lips curled upwards. With 5 exp per kill, they only needed about 11 or 12 more suckers to provide sustenance for their hard work. As such, they resumed their mindless slaughter, this time throughout the entirety of the Savannah area.
Was it right to describe them as a passing hurricane? Or would 'natural disaster' be more fitting? Perhaps we should use a simile and describe them as to a swarm of cruel locusts that consumed all and left nothing behind?
Whatever the case, the Eternal Monsters of the Savannah area were clearly not ready for the call of death that was sounded the moment the Evil Duo decided to use them as fodder for their growth.
Unlike the other bands which were larger and had more population, this area was richer in resources and energy but the density of its monsters was a lot sparser. After all, they were stronger, so their territories were larger and more expansive.
It took a span of 2 weeks to circle around the entire area, which showed that this fragmented plane wasn't really that large. When they returned to where they started, which was the thee which Wunian had been perched on, the Evil Duo's auras were even more profound and dangerous.

Yup, their Eternal Control had gone up and blah blah blah, whatever.
What was a fact was that they were slightly stronger and more perfect, and they had enough Eternal Points to jump right into the 'Normal' tier, but they were obviously saving their points up for when they got to the end.
Now that they had cleared the Savannah area, they converged and flew towards the next boundary. Here, they saw that ahead of them was a lush grassland that was nothing like the areas before which were filled with struggle and territorial behavior.
Within 2 hours of entering the grassland area, they actually saw over three villages which were sizable, with over 400 people. The inhabitants were a mixture of species, ranging from humans, to beastkin, to actual beasts, xenomorph type species and more.
What was more interesting was that their technological level was actually not bad, being equivalent to that of19th century humankind.
What was even MORE interesting was the fact that in the center of each village was a totem styled in the form of an Eternal. Draco and Eva could tell that it was for an Eternal because of their aura.
The faces of the Evil Duo became cold with each totem they passed. They could sense that the Eternals that the totem belonged to were aware of them and disdained to even fight them. This naturally pissed off the Evil Duo, for how dare these filthy spirits have the gall to disdain them?
However, the totem system intrigued them. It seemed that unlike the Eternals in the outer regions who had to cultivate themselves these Eternals here used a faith system to progress? Was that even useful?
What exactly were they using the faith for?
To cultivate Eternal Power? Eternal Limit? Eternal Control? Some sort of combination perhaps?
Draco and Eva were filled with questions. Naturally, the best way to answer them was to find an Eternal and beat the truth out of them without their consent.
What was the best way to drag out those snobby Eternals, you might ask? Destroying their properties and killing their followers usually did the trick and nothing could go wrong with that option!
As such, Draco and Eva came upon a new village that was quite populated. There was a totem of a giant bear in the center that was armored like a war bear with a scar across its left eye, in the pose of roaring.
While some villagers were busy worshiping the totem, others were also living their daily lives.
Wow, look at those lovely couples. Those young men filled with vigor and ambition, hoping to create a world of wealth for themselves and their family. Those young women who are content with just seeing their beloved husbands and children happy. Those lovely kids who had so much energy and potential, ready to be brought up and utilized as best as they could.
Sike!
Genocide beam!
Eva raised her finger and released her signature mass killing attack, spreading a beam of light into the sky that split at the top into smaller rays that chased after and struck every single being through the forehead, killing them instantly as their brains were turned into mush.
It was efficient, it was quick and it was certainly brutal. There was no pain or fear, just instant death faster than their feeble minds could comprehend what was going on. No need to be depressed or angry at the death of your loved ones, all of you are going together!
Where are they going? Of course, right into the Seven Heavens and Nine Hells!
You should know that after reaching 100% bloodline their control over the Seven Heavens and Nine Hells had become rougher, but the power they could supply it was finally enough for it to exist permanently outside them.
Unfortunately, they did not yet have the skill for this. Still, they had collected the souls of every single Eternal they had killed, and only about half had gone to Hell while the other half went to Heaven.
Just because they were Eternals didn't mean they were all evil blokes. Some were actual ascetics with clean lives who had ascended after much difficulty. Well, now they could enjoy the pleasant afterlife where there was no suffering, only bliss.
There is no war in the Seven Heavens.
As for the blokes who went to hell, well… they were suffering in eternal torment that would make you squirm in fear every night for the rest of your life.
Nothing much really.
Soon, the entire village was cleared, but Draco took it to the next level by sending an Orb of Destruction down, turning almost everything into ash. The corpses, houses and history of this entire village had just been thoroughly eliminated in real time.
All that was left was the still glowing totem that now had a golden hue. As Draco and Eva arrogantly floated above it, a giant spirit manifested above the totem and expanded to a giant size.
It was a manifestation of the War Bear Eternal and its attention was focused onto them. It had locked onto Draco and Eva tightly, as if storing their essence in its mind so that it could find them no matter where they went.
Draco and Eva naturally exploded with energy, breaking this sensory lock and causing the War Bear to spit out golden blood in its spirit form, which made it dim significantly.
Its face changed greatly as the hostility it exuded diminished, but its coldness increased. It had sensed that Draco and Eva were merely weak Eternals, so it had wondered why they had dared to prove him in this manner.
Were they new and unaware of the rules?
How had they even managed to make it up here?
Whatever the case, its true body was on the way. Once it arrived, it would see whether they had the guts to act big or not. Thinking like this, its eyes condensed even more coldness as it was content to wait.
However, Draco and Eva weren't.
"Oi, shit flinging bear, quickly call your true body over so that we can kill it and extract all your memories. We need a low down of the area." Draco 'requested' with impatience.
The totem spirit's face twitched. It almost wanted to roar that all Draco needed to do was stand there for ten more minutes and he would get to see what death and pain looked like.
However, it shut its bear mouth because what if this was a plot by the fellow to find out the time it would take for its true body to arrive?
Haha, this silly weak Eternal thought he was cleverer than it! Even if it were a mere totem spirit, it always got a 6/10 in the spelling bee tests!
Eva licked her lips as she looked at the totem spirit. "Draco, can I kill this spirit and eat it. I have a feeling it would greatly nourish my Light Angel Inheritance."
The War Bear shook when it heard Eva swords and took a step back, feeling her sheer killing intent and willingness to devour. The Totem Spirit felt wronged by being treated like this, but knew it only needed to hold out for 7 more minutes.
Draco gazed at the totem spirit with pity. "Of course, my Celestial Beauty, you don't need to ask me. Do whatever you want, who cares about consequences?"
Hearing this, Eva's eyes gleamed as she exploded with a strange mental energy. She manifested one of her abilities from her Light Angel branch, the Astral Spirit!
What had formerly been a giant half body form of Amaterasu was now just a giant half body form of Eva herself, containing a fully developed upper body with the three regalia of Japan in hand.
(Author's Note: this ability hasn't been used in a while, but just like before, it is EXACTLY like the Susanno from Naruto in terms of style and looks.)
It glowed in a golden color and gazed down upon the world lifelessly and almost callously, making the totem spirit shake. Its legs were trembling and its mind had shattered from fear and horror.
Forget holding out for 5 minutes, it wouldn't be able to hold out for a second! What kind of mental power was this?! How could a mere weak Eternal have such power?!
Forget this Totem Spirit, even if the real body came here, it still would be beaten to death!
Flee! Flee, flee, FLEE!!!
The Totem Spirit roared this in its heart and turned to run, but had to stop with a pale face because the main body had seen everything here and commanded it to stay behind and hold them down for it to escape.
The spirit was a fragment of the main body's mind, but it had its own slight independence. It was extremely unwilling and even hated the true body for abandoning it like this.
However, the next moment Eva grabbed it with the right hand of her Astral Spirit and threw the War Bear into her mouth and chewed nosily. Immediately, the Astral Spirit became slightly more condensed and solid, less translucent and more opaque.
Draco simply smiled. "Don't worry, Brother Totem Spirit, we won't let your true body go either. How dare he abandon you? Leave it to Daddy Draco to get revenge for you!"
It was as if the Totem Spirit could hear Draco's words as its physical embodiment cracked open and shattered into pieces, but still presented a gratified smile from the previous roaring expression.
The Evil Duo then tore Space and went through after Eva recalled her Astral Spirit. They easily traversed the familiar void space and came out near where they sensed the war bear's true body to be.
When they came out, they saw that the Eternal Monster was still rapidly trying to flee on the ground, barging through everything in its way like a crazed beast. After all, what it had seen had scared it to death.
Before it could go far, though, it felt a strange energy behind it. When it turned to look out of curiosity, the War Bear almost screamed like a little girl as Draco and Eva were casually seated on its back while drinking tea and eating scones.
