Inevitable Road To Divinity

Chapter 425: Bone cross

Chapter 425: Bone cross

The desire to power just like lies is common and known trait of humans, beasts and other races. A lot of life forms and other unnatural things are born out from that and one simply can not throw these away.

Even Ruler himself.

Xue Ren knew that everyone has their own reasons and he himself was rising in strength. Though he had no knowledge about other universes, it's clear that there is some scheme going on. And the solution to everything else is the power itself.

Raising his divinities can bring him a lot of aspects that will surely help him defeat every problem on the way.

"Ahh!"

As Xue Ren assimilated his powers with Mother Nature of this world, his perception rose tremendously high. He felt really good just from knowing the exact number of the elves, trees, leaves and roots.

These were all his weapons right now.

Appearing in his elven form, Xue Ren's appearance came back to the one he had when meeting the dear elder. Just the common elf that was as beautiful like any other. However, the power flowing within him was the current strongest his.

Without any boosts such as bloodline ignition or thrones.

Of course, the scream he just heard was belonging to Harillia. His eyes instantly located her as she was the closest elf that took the risk to meet him. Actually, Harillia keeps taking risk even though she is innocent elf lady.

That's her adorable sight one could say!

"If that man was here... then maybe..."

Mr. Bune muttering also entered Xue Ren's ears. He was obviously talking about Xue Ren and his pitiful appearance that was ready to death amused Xue Ren. After all, he knew that there won't be any more casualties!

Quickly appearing behind Harillia, Xue Ren took her wounded body in his embrace which instantly took away all her fear! Being targeted by Kuroe himself, she definitely would be dead already if not him toying with her.

Or maybe he was waiting for someone stronger to appear and protect her?!

Who knows!

"Oh? Are you the one?"

"And why are you so vague? But yeah, I am her man, so take out your best body parts if you have any... as you are going to meet the death itself soon."

"Hoh~~ That's one confident elf~~"

Every elf was dealing with refined bodies. Their states were very similar to the one Harillia was in, however, it was less severe as death aura of refined puppets is nothing in comparison to the Death Commander himself.

Still, they were doing everything they could, sometimes protecting each other with their own bodies! One can say that the comarderie of the elves is indeed admirable.

"Ren..."

"Do you still want to fight?"

"Yes! I want everyone to survive!"

After small caress on her cheek, Xue Ren sent Harillia to help out other elves, so that she can shake off the feeling of 'fear' towards 'death aura' thoroughly from her mind. The experiences can put huge burden on her heart that can make her further advancement difficult.

So with her arrows piercing through weaker refined bodies, Harillia was slowly building up the confidence that was beating her inward fear that couldn't be sent away in other way than personal experience.

"It's too sad for lovers to split apart, no? Stay here~~!"

Amused, Koroe sent out his black death aura in form of thin, but fast hands. His intention was clear, but Xue Ren already waved his hand! It was so fast action that it could be said that the both of them moved at the same time.

Shuuu~~

The sharp leaves thoroughly dispersed the black energy which shocked Koroe... Finally, he realized that this elf is indeed the one he was searching for. His body quickly took action, exploding with death aura that was thick with the soul concept.

The two individuals were now fighting with their soul concepts!

And quickly enough, Xue Ren forced Koroe to use all the surrounding refined bodies around them! His death aura was affecting their own refined one, so it was clear that his battle style is to fight solely by relying on others.

Unlike the first necromancer that took out the bone sword.

"It's good that you focus on soul concept. It will be much easier to kill you than Koas."

"So it was you... Very well, your body will become the personal puppet for Roka Family."

The refined bodies were all looking tough. With their muscles bulging with the power, their flesh slowly was turning black, but Xue Ren ain't waiting for them to finish their 'power up'. It was clear that once they become all black, they can release everything at once, so explosions surely are going to be deadly if such thing happens.

"It's gonna be you... becoming the trophy of the elven race."

Raising his hand, Xue Ren began the counter attack! The whole forest answered his wishes and with his perception, Xue Ren began striking the weakest parts of the refined bodies.

His perception was truly high right now.

After all, with all the death aura surrounding their bodies, it was pretty hard to locate the weakest parts. In few cases, the death aura was gathering highly around the fists. Their bodies were refined in such way so that they can utilize their strongest parts quickly and effectively.

There were cases where some refined bodies spewed out some toxic liquid. Then, the death aura would be focused on their throats!

Xue Ren was always aiming at the body parts that were the farthest from such spots! The bodies were too vulnerable here! Of course, there were also a scars after rough refinement. Xue Ren's sharp nature was sliding across these scars so neatly that Koroe felt it as if on himself.

His eyes bulged out even though his anger was only starting to build up!

"ELF!"

Finally exploding with anger, Koroe utilized his soul concept to the maximum! There was no way he would just let Xue Ren tear his puppets! The huge explosions of death aura rang out simultaneously!

He exploded all the bodies around Xue Ren in an instant. The powerful explosions completely swallowed the sky as nothing else other than black bombs couldn't be seen! Inside this black aura, Xue Ren could feel his body feeling some pain...

But it was just mere pain as the vitality of whole forest along with his divine wings was flowing within his body! He felt huge power, but more importantly, his perception allowed Xue Ren to foresee the next move of the death commander.

"!"

As Koroe tried to sent his two powerful giants to slay Xue Ren in the midst of the black explosions, his eyes yet again trembled. He saw two powerful 'dragons' made out from the tree branches burying their teeth into his giants.

"You little fucker..."

The dragon's green eyes shone brightly as they began slowly doing everything within their strength to tear apart the powerful bodies of two giants. In the meantime, Xue Ren used the ability of the elven bloodline that Harillia just began learning about.

Soon enough, the thorns appeared around their claws and dragons visibly changed! They became more violent and as the thorns went though their black skin, it visibly trembled seemingly enjoying this process.

As if thorns were alive!

"You should understand the source of my confidence now."

"Do you think that the next target of these dragons is me? Hah!"

Though Koroe was enraged, he still spoke without any hint of an anger. He took out the bone cross that upon appearance let out small black flicker... Holding it, he answered the curious face of Xue Ren who was standing proudly on the tree's branch.

"This is a Legend Breaker."

"A Legend Breaker? Sounds like shit. Hhhh-ptui."

"I agree!"

"This is the only thing we agree on, so? Care to explain?"

"Look."

Holding this bone cross called 'A Legend Breaker that shouds like shit', Koroe summoned the black fire on his two giants that were struggling with the dragons. This fire greatly supported their death aura and one could say that the counter attack of the two giants began at this very moment.

"I am 82 ranked, but I still can not afford to refine the bodies with the fire of death god."

"So? What is this?"

"Haha~~ The legendary race - Black Phoenix's flames are stored here! It breakes the will of the legendary creature and allows us to use their fire which suits our death aura. Now..."

The death commander fluently explained, then his sneer stated that he is going to use everything. His body exploded with the two powerful flames - black and blue! As the two fires mixed, the aura of coldness, but immense hotness as well spread out through the village.

It was really confusing, but the pain was tremendously affecting Xue Ren's body.

"Aren't you a necromancer? What are you going to do with your body being the one ignited?"

Naturally, the death commander already ignited his blood as well. He was going all out, but all this time, he was using his puppets and their explosions. From little peek, Xue Ren also knew he has long range abililties!

"The thing you have on your mind."

Holding the bone cross, he also ignited it. Forming the completley black bones, Xue Ren could see how it completely becomes pure energy... What a waste! He wanted to research these flames as he had used a lot of flame in the past.

As the black flames in the form of the bones flickered, Koroe aimed it straight onto Xue Ren's head.

The elf himself was surrounded by the nature as if in the mother's embrace. Ready to accept everything, Xue Ren quickly gathered the tree's walls in front of himself. With the defense boasting with huge vitality and aura, Xue Ren was ready to take the black blue fire head on!

"This is the end."

The cross was small, the size of Xue Ren's forehead. But as it went into the first wall made out from the tree, the huge flames erupted, swallowing the first wall wholly. Then, it began going further, not caring about anything at all.

The flames just showed its most promising and powerful ability - destruction! Burning out all the vitality and energies, it was completely going on the rampage.

Feeling this, Xue Ren felt his heart being clenched by the nervousness. His eyes stood strong, however. Thanks to his strong perception, he could tell the exact power and damage that was ongoing non stop.

'82 ranked...'

And just stopping in front of his last tree wall, the black blue fire disappeared softly. Its disappearance was strangely beautiful which Xue Ren could enjoy with his naked eyes... And as he raised his head slightly...

The roughly breathing death commander appeared.

'From 80 rank onwards...'

His hand went up, spreading itself slowly. Then in a flash, it clenched, leading the roots to surround the death commander to completely tear apart his body and soul.

'They can kill two winged divinities...'

The road is long.
