Chapter 464 - What Will She Choose?
Chapter 464 - What Will She Choose?
Adam and Shinka had been dominating the battle against the Grandmaster Level Evil Soul, but it was merely because the Evil Soul had been holding back.
They knew that, but if the Evil Soul were to unleash all the Evil Soul Power it had accumulated in a short amount of time, it was likely to severely damage itself or even push itself to the brink of destruction.
The Evil Soul Power was yet to be completely absorbed and digested by the Evil Soul, while it also couldn't handle that much energy yet.
However, Adam and Shinka's overwhelming and coherent attacks pushed the Evil Soul to release its full power and had been infuriated to the point of wanting to kill them no matter the cost.
Adam and Shinka who had been launched flying back were shocked by all the Evil Soul Power within the Evil Soul they were facing and the Evil Soul became shrouded in darkness.
It also grew in size, and no longer resembled a human in any way.
The Evil Soul had become a large beast, and the soul had gained a grotesque appearance through some sort of evil technique that pushed its soul past its limits.
It gained 4 more arms, so had 8 limbs including its two legs and formed a blade made out of Evil Soul Power in each as it dashed towards Adam.
"Adam, watch out" she called out, but it was too late.
The Evil Soul had already reached Adam within an instant and with all 6 blades, slashed outwards with enough speed and power to slice Adam into bits.
However, he never would have ever believed that Adam could transform into a Physical Form and suddenly disappear.
Even in a Physical Form, the Evil Soul's attack would still rip his soul to shreds, so Adam quickly used the Step Skip Skill just as he was about to be struck, then reverted back to his Soul Form.
Shinka was amazed by what she had just seen Adam do, while the Evil Soul was confused by it for a moment, but they all returned their focus to the battle.
"He is much faster now and even with my daggers, weakening him will take too long and we can't handle him for that long,"
"This is the plan. I will hold out against him for a minute and keep him away from you and it is all up to you to produce an attack strong enough with those horns of yours," stated Adam before launching himself towards the Evil Soul.
"But I can't do it. I'm not powerful enough and can't use my horns properly yet," she called out.
"Just believe in yourself and there is no better time to surpass your limits than in the middle of a battle. If you don't manage to do it, both of us will die here and the hopes of your clan and all the people relying on me will be crushed,"
It was a good opportunity for Adam to help her become more powerful, while it was also the best course of action, as he didn't have any attacks in his Soul Form that were powerful enough to take down a wild Grandmaster Level Evil Soul.
Since it was do or die, Shinka had no choice but to surpass her limits and closed her eyes as she tried her best to control and draw out as much power as she could from her horns.
Meanwhile, Adam had formed a clone of himself using the Unique Cloning Skill that also worked in his Soul Form and began using all the Soul Skills he had developed and come up with over the past year.
Most of his Soul Skills would affect and use other souls in the area, but there weren't many for him to use while he didn't even have an instant to activate them, since he was being constantly attacked by the Evil Soul.
Even with his clone and his daggers, along with all the skills he was using, Adam was barely able to hold out against such a powerful soul and had weakened it slightly by forcing it to use power and siphoning its energy, but he knew it was only a matter of time before he could no longer fight.
Just like he had estimated, after around a minute, his soul was beginning to be battered by the Evil Soul and he was rapidly losing SE as he continued to be knocked back.
"If you can't do it now, it will be too late," he yelled.
Adam had no choice but to believe in and trust Shinka, but she hadn't moved that entire time and had stood silently with her eyes closed, while her horns glowed slightly.
Unleashing as much power as he could in his Soul Form, Adam was fighting a berserk Evil Soul that was an entire cultivation level more powerful than him and was on the verge of collapse.
If he lost any more SE, it would be extremely difficult to recover it and the trick he previously used to dodge the Evil Soul's attack wouldn't work twice, while he also wouldn't be able to use it quickly enough.
That left him defenceless to the Evil Soul's sudden activation of a Burst Attack Soul Skill that launched the Evil Soul towards him and allowed him to release blades of Evil Soul Power, similar to the Dual Slash Skill, but through all of its 6 blades.
It was unavoidable and Adam tried his best to prepare a barrier to block it, but was launched flying backwards and was completely overcome by the attack.
He was launched flying away and landed near Shinka with his SE on the verge of running out and his Soul Form on the verge of disintegrating.
"It's all up to you," he managed to utter before his Soul Form entered a dormant state.
It was a last resort to preserve the final Soul Essence that he had left and he would be unsavable within a few minutes, meaning that Shinka either had to take down the Grandmaster Evil Soul or find a way to escape with Adam's dormant soul.
Both were risky, but one was much more possible than the other.
However, it would place the lives of many in danger and mean that she failed her duty.
