Chapter 1734 Umbrasol's Terror 2
Chapter 1734 Umbrasol\'s Terror 2
Rudrasil screamed. Now that Arvin was gone, it was his duty to take command.
"I-Is that Death Energy!?"
Nivrek, a being with a third eye on his forehead, questioned with a surprised look on his face. Right now, he was pointing at the Wraiths who were fighting against them. There was this dark mist surrounding all these Wraiths.
It wasn\'t his first time dealing with someone using Death Energy, but doing so without being able to use his own abilities was quite difficult. Not to mention that Umbrasol\'s environment strengthened all Death Energy users.
Rudrasil nodded with a grave look on his face.
He was holding on just fine since he himself cultivated Death Energy, but he knew it was almost impossible for others to survive.
At first, when Rudrasil realized these Wraiths weren\'t truly living beings and were something akin to artificial entities, he thought they would be weak. It was only now that he realized how wrong he
was.
Probably because these entities were created by Umbrasol itself, their command over Death Energy was absurdly good.
These beings surrounded their entire bodies with Death Energy, making it difficult to get near them since the energy would instantly jump at you and devour your Life Force.
Only beings who had command over Death Energy could somewhat resist this. As for others, they were forced to engage in ranged combat, and that was when most of their abilities were sealed. Rudrasil glanced at a few of his subordinates who tried to use their strong physical power and punch these Wraiths, only to have their arms drained of all Life Force in an instant, turning into decaying matter with no strength left.
Their fate was sealed. In an environment where they couldn\'t use their abilities, and with arms that could no longer move, they could only run before they finally fell.
And it wasn\'t just people who had attacked these Wraiths. These entities were also capable of sending waves of Death Energy at their opponents. If you failed to dodge that, whatever part of your body was hit would lose all its Life Force, ending up just like the arms of the subordinates mentioned before.
"H-HEY!
What are you doing!? Move!!!Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Suddenly, Rudrasil heard a voice.
He turned around and noticed a man had broken the formation and attacked the Wraith that was getting close to his ally. As the Wraith was pushed back, the man stood in front of his ally to defend him and was now forced to face two Wraiths at the same time.
As for the ally he did all of this for...?
He wasn\'t moving...
"You fool! Move!!
Or we both die!!"
The man shouted again.
Rudrasil, who saw the man\'s condition, widened his eyes in horror, and,
"HEY! Move away from him! His Soul was severed!!!"
He shouted.
Soul Severance!
One of the higher-level abilities that not many people could master. An ability that pecks into one of the greatest secrets of the Universe. An ability that allows the wielder to attack the enemy\'s very essence and sever the bond between one\'s Soul and Body.
With the bond severed, the being has no control over their body, leaving them completely vulnerable.
This method is usually used by higher-level worlds to study Souls that are currently separated from the body. Right now, on the battlefield...
It was no different from a death sentence.
And as if that wasn\'t enough, Rudrasil heard another shout. He turned around and saw another one of his soldiers. This man was one of the men Rudrasil had some confidence in. After all, just like him, the man cultivated Death Energy and was actually quite skilled at using it.
But suddenly, the man was surrounded by skeleton warriors, who had the same cultivation level as the Wraith who summoned them.
Sure, because these skeleton warriors didn\'t have Souls, they couldn\'t possibly have a Law, so they were much weaker than a normal being. However, being surrounded by ten of them at the same time, not to mention with the Wraith constantly throwing out Death Energy waves at him, quickly overwhelmed the soldier.
"N-Necromancy!? How is that possible!?"
The man who was being overwhelmed couldn\'t believe it.
Death Energy was one of the most versatile Energies in the entire Universe. It had countless uses. One could even use Death Energy for healing an ally to some extent.
However, this energy had one fatal weakness.
It was versatile, yes. However, Death Energy was so complicated that most beings who cultivated it could only study one of its many uses.
One could learn to manipulate the Death Energy itself to use it as an offensive energy that attacked your enemy and sucked out their Life Force. This way, one could also manipulate Death Energy to form a defensive veil around them, making it difficult for the opponent to attack them.
Or one could use Death Energy to conceal their presence and learn assassin-like abilities. Or the Death Energy could be used as a purely defensive ability, forming an absolute defensive shield capable of dissolving any attacks, turning them into Death Energy and strengthening the user. There were countless ways to use Death Energy. Necromancy, raising the dead and using them as skeleton soldiers, was one of them as well, but...
One could only use one of these methods.
That Wraith was already manipulating Death Energy and using it to attack. It shouldn\'t be able to use Necromancy...
That shouldn\'t be possible...
Because if it was....
Then Necromancy might not be the only thing they needed to worry about.
"PYRAX!!!"
Rudrasil heard a shout. He turned around and saw a Wraith standing behind one of his soldiers, with
its hand piercing through his body, instantly devouring all the Life Force in his body.
*Thud*
With a thud, the man\'s body fell down, and suddenly, the Wraith disappeared...
\'Death Veil...
Rudrasil\'s body shook.
The Death Veil... an ability used by top-level assassins who cultivated Death Energy.
