Chapter 52: k*ll!
Indeed, it lives up to being the favored child of nature.
In the same domain of [Plants], Soren’s effectiveness could not compare to Kalyena’s abilities. All the demons were trapped in place by vines, and the nearby trees came to life, using their branches to entangle the enemies. In an instant, Soren charged right in front of Yenogu’s avatar, his curved blade glowing with a cold light as it slashed directly toward the enemy’s vital points.
—“Killing Domain!”
Splat.
A spray of bl**d erupted.
Just as Soren struck down Yenogu’s avatar, a soul appeared that was invisible to the mortal eye. This was the soul power from the King of Werewolves, the very divine power that Soren needed the most.
“d*e!”
The Killing Domain sealed off the surrounding space, followed by Soren attempting to activate a fraction of the power from the d*ath Domain. In an instant, divine power surged wildly, directly targeting the soul projection of the King of Werewolves.
“No!!!…”
A despairing scream rang out as the soul projection of the King of Werewolves was instantly shredded to pieces. Not only did the material plane let out a wail, but even in the grand palace of the Bottomless Abyss on the 422nd layer, a cry filled with rage and fear echoed.
A part of his soul was slain.
If a demon lord’s avatar is killed, it will have some impact on its power, but if the soul projection does not return, it’s not just a small drop in power.
It means a level drop!
At that moment, a line of data appeared before Soren’s eyes:
“k*ll the King of Werewolves – Yenogu’s avatar!…”
“Extract target soul energy!… You gained 279,000 points of Killing Experience!…”
“The target possesses divine power!…”
“Extract target divine energy!… You gained 5 points of Divinity Value!…”
“The target possesses divine power!…”
“Extract target divine power!… You gained 1 point of Divine Power Value!…”
…………
The demon lord’s avatar yielded very little killing experience; the main harvest from killing it was actually the five points of Divinity Value and the precious one point of Divine Power Value.
Only by killing Yenogu’s true body could one obtain massive killing experience!
But the data did not stop; new data notifications continued to appear:
“The target possesses Fear Divine Aura!…”
“Extract target Fear Divine Aura!… Your ability [Fear Divine Aura] has been enhanced!…”
“Gain a hint of Fear Divinity!…”
……………
Yenogu actually has Fear Divinity!?
Could it be that after the Demon God of Fear’s d*ath, he infused a part of his domain into this?
However, the werewolf seems to be a creature that truly spreads slaughter and fear among many races. It appears Yenogu’s ambitions are not small at all!
There was another line of data:
“The target possesses Frenzy Deity Power!…”
“Divine affinity 31%!… The body affinity is too low!… Demon avatar affinity is 78%… Divine power transformation!…”
“Extract the residual Frenzy divine power from the target!…”
“The demon avatar has mastered the [Frenzy] domain!…”
……………
Domain power!?
With the d*ath of Yenogu’s avatar, a divine power that was repulsed by Soren’s true body also emerged.
However, he could not absorb this power himself, but the demon avatar had good compatibility. Accompanied by a hint of divine radiance, the demon avatar actually mastered its first domain ability.
—[Frenzy] domain!
The battle was over.
The demons summoned by Yenogu were eliminated. Soren also canceled the demon avatar’s summoning, leaving only the treant chief – Kalyena – by his side.
He glanced over the other survivors, then his gaze fell on the girl – Chan – and the young Sword Saint.
After a moment of silence, Soren slowly said, “Let’s leave here first!”
Mage Hand.
The artifact flail on Yenogu’s avatar fell into Soren’s palm as he hurried towards the exit. The others exchanged glances and quickly followed.
The commotion here likely alarmed many. It was best to leave first.
Artifact in hand.
As soon as Soren obtained the Time Flail [Ice], he detected a familiar divine power, that of the God of Slaughter.
The Time Flail was once the most infamous weapon of the God of Slaughter!
This weapon had once killed the high priest who inherited most of the God of Slaughter’s divine power when it was completed with five heads. From the very beginning, when it had three heads, the Time Flail had already ended countless powerful enemies in the hands of the God of Slaughter.
“Item Type: Time Flail [Ice] (Incomplete)
Item Level: [First Tier Artifact]
Item Description: This is a part of a legendary artifact. Due to the lack of the powers of the other four components, its current potential may not even match that of a legendary equipment. However, it possesses incredible potential, being one of the most powerful artifacts in the entire material plane. If someone can gather all five heads of the Time Flail, they will acquire terrifying abilities akin to god-slaying! The God of Slaughter once used this weapon and killed enemies in the final investiture war, this weapon is stained with [Divine bl**d], with residual killing aura. (Note: This artifact retains the power of Slaughter Divinity.)
Equipment Requirements: 14 points of strength or higher [Strength Requirement +2].
Equipment Effects: Artifact traits, Divine bl**d. Ice damage, armor-piercing traits, debilitating, +3 sharpness, +5 durability, +10 armor penetration, +5 bone-crushing damage.
Weapon Special Effects: [Artifact Trait], this weapon is a legendary artifact and cannot be destroyed by conventional methods, being immune to disintegration spells; only legendary disintegration spells have a 1% chance to destroy this artifact, but the destroyer must also suffer divine backlash.
Weapon Special Effects: [Divine bl**d], over long ages, this weapon has soaked up the bl**d of countless Greater Demons, Demigods, False Gods, and even true deities. Some powerful beings who coveted the God of Slaughter’s position have also fallen to its hands. Even if this is only a part of the artifact, the Time Flail is also infused with the power of divine bl**d.
Weapon Special Effects: [Ice Damage], this is the ice head among the five heads of the Time Flail. As only one-fifth of the components is repaired, this weapon can only exert a weaker power, dealing an additional 5 points of ice damage to any enemy upon contact and somewhat affecting the enemy’s movements.
Weapon Special Effects: [Armor-Piercing Trait], as an artifact-level flail with five heads, the Time Flail possesses a terrifying armor-piercing ability. Even with just one head equipped, it can easily pierce through most armor protections. When striking an enemy, [Time Flail] can ignore all armor below the extraordinary level, including full-body armor, which cannot block its attack. When the five heads of the Time Flail are fully combined, its armor-piercing trait will be further enhanced, and even legendary armor cannot protect against its damage!
Weapon Special Effects: [Debilitating], the Time Flail has terrifying lethality. When attacking an enemy, there is a certain chance to directly debilitate the target. Upon receiving an attack from the Time Flail, the target must make a mandatory Fortitude saving throw, or they will be debuffed, reducing their movement and attack speed. The number of flail heads determines the power of this ability.”
…………
Familiar power.
That was the power of the bloodline of slaughter left on this artifact. The Time Flail had been used by its wielder to k*ll many other God of Slaughter’s avatars during the era of its activity.
Thus, Soren actually sensed a hint of Killing Domain’s divine power from this weapon!
Ice head.
Poison head.
Soren had already gathered two components of the Time Flail; if he were to fuse them, the Time Flail could evolve into a second-tier artifact.
—Time Flail [Ice, Poison].
If he could acquire another flail head, then the third-tier artifact Time Flail would surpass all the artifacts in Soren’s possession.
The Holy Avenger, although at a higher level than the Time Flail, couldn’t outmatch the damage of a fully assembled five-headed Time Flail, which had more stable damage. Because Soren remembered that the effects of the Time Flail after assembling five heads were as follows.
—“Each attack inflicts an additional 10 points of ice damage, 10 points of poison damage, 10 points of lightning damage, 10 points of fire damage, and 10 points of acid damage.”
Regardless of one’s base power, as long as they were hit by the Time Flail, they would face 50 points of additional attribute damage first!
