Chapter 987 Same Tactics Different Power
Chapter 987 Same Tactics Different Power
Frederik and more than a dozen Super Awakened watched Kaleb in awe. They followed Kaleb when he charged into the building but slowed to study the surroundings intently. Kaleb wasn't vigilant, but that wasn't needed with the power he'd unleashed. His first barrage of attacks was already enough to push the Instructors of the Divine Academy into a tricky situation. Neither expected an attack on their educational center like this, and they responded too slowly. Frederik and most others knew Michael was the reason they could attack the Divine Academy in the first place, but nobody thought about that at this moment. Everyone was flabbergasted at the power Kaleb unleashed. When he transformed into a Greater Demon King, the Super Awakened retreated in fear. However, they couldn't stay back and do nothing for long. Kaleb's presence might be terrifying and the sight of him smashing Divine Lifeforms into smithereens was shocking, to say the least, Kaleb's actions were also loud enough to pull the students of the Divine Academy out of trance.
Under normal circumstances, pulling the students out of trance might have been great, but Frederik and others had been hoping to avoid hunting the students. Most of them were innocent and had been affected and transformed by Blood Incursion. They were like Kaleb, Zeke, and Alice. Innocent and forced to do things they would have never done if they had been given a choice. But nobody was given a choice through Blood Incursion.
The students got up – those in the first few rows tried to stand up, only to become victims of the massacre between Kaleb and the Instructors – and turned to the Super Awakened to charge. Frederik and some others curse, whereas Lokai, Thaor, and the remaining Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs push forward. Michael, Rebecca, and a handful of researchers had told everyone about Blood Incursion, how devastating it was, and that it wasn't possible to rescue many people during a mission like today's.
They could try and rescue those they'd known in the past, or everyone still rebelling against the corrupting powers of Blood Incursion but had to remain decisive against those attacking them. That was not only for their safety but also for the safety of their allies. It was not okay if they endangered their own lives, but it was unacceptable to put their allies' lives at risk.
Michael made that clear more than once, and everyone acknowledged his sentiments. Thus, Frederik jumped into action. He glanced at Kaleb's fight – massacre might be the better word for it – one last time before focusing on the task ahead.
'I will give you all a quick death. Your suffering will end soon. Just endure it a little longer.' He spoke in his mind while gathering his power.
It had been a while since he upgraded Enhanced Wind and Wind Mastery to 5-Star, but it was only recently when Michael pushed enough SoulStar Fragments into him to transform Aeroan into a 7-Star Soultrait.
Frederik never understood how he deserved a friend like Michael, but it was Michael who thanked Frederik for always giving his utmost to grow stronger while simultaneously wasting no time and effort to expand the territory, socialize with the other Lords of the Untamed Jungle to learn about their traditions, their standing among their brethren, their feelings about Michael's actions, and much more.
Frederik was among the most hard-working Awakened among the Super Awakened, and he was also a loving father and husband. Despite training almost all day, Jacqueline and his little baby boy spent enough time with Frederik. Frederik Kolbenheim never rested. If anything, meditating could be considered his only 'rest' and even during that time, Frederik was growing stronger.
Michael was of the opinion that Frederik deserved this kind of reward, which had nothing to do with the rewards the Super Awakened had received. It was an independent reward and a necessity to ensure Frederik would stay one of the strongest Super Awakened. He and Hiraku were the leading forces of the Untamed Awakened, the Super Awakened, and Michael's military forces, after all!
Frederik gathered the power of Aeroan within him while ensuring Enhanced Wind would augment Aeroan as much as possible. Simultaneously, he relied on his Wind Mastery tap into his other Soultrait Symbols, combining Aeroan with Eye of the Storm, Energy Typhoon, and Maximized Efficiency.
Frederik's Energy Pillar was no more. It had been replaced by an Energy Typhoon, which wasn't quite unlike the Energy Vortex. It aided Frederik's War Rune refinement and accelerated the process, but the most important part was the Energy Typhoon's ability to create the purest wind-attributed energy. In fact, it could only create wind-attributed energy. Energy Typhoon, combined with a Primordial graded Body Refinement Technique he'd bought after years of saving up, was enough to attune his body perfectly to the wind-attributed energy. It was much better than his Inheritance technique, which felt like a cheap copy of some Superior graded techniques. Frederik's standards were on a different level at this point.
He took a deep breath, tapped into his Soultrait Symbols, and created four compressed wind blades. The wind blades didn't look any special, but they were different. Two were weaker and didn't feel like anything special to a Higher Lifeform, one was a little special and would harm Tier-4 powerhouse, and the last was incredibly powerful. It was almost like Frederik's power was accumulated within the final wind blade.
Still, Frederik released all of them with a burst of energy. They heed his command and whizzed through the air. The weakest wind blades burst to the sides while the strongest shot forward, beheading a Tier-6 Awakened before he could even channel energy through his body. He continued running while his head slid to the ground. The fountain of blood spurted through the surroundings long after the strongest wind blade with terrifying velocity had already beheaded three more victims.

The slightly weaker blade didn't attract much attention. Everyone was either focused on the Super Awakened or the strongest wind blade. The Tier-4 Blood Incursed Hyuman didn't even notice when the blade reached them. It was too slow and inconspicuous to attract their attention, yet once it appeared before them, it was just as deadly as the high-velocity wind blade. Multiple students were killed, given a quick death, in the first few seconds of Frederik's attack.
He did the same with the weakest wind blades. He was a bit ashamed to attack Lesser Lifeforms, but the Hyuman students had bloodred eyes and had already lost themselves in the Blood Incursion. Killing them quickly was the best death he could give them.
'The Supreme Human Alliance has to die. I won't rest before the SHA ceases to exist.' He swore to himself, imagining his little son having to go through the same thing as Kaleb, Zeke…or Lincoln.
No. The Supreme Human Alliance was not allowed to stay!
Coming to a conclusion, though the result was obvious – it had always been – Frederik channeled more energy into his attacks. The high-velocity wind blade accelerated and beheaded more enemies while his other attacks surprised more helpless Hyumans.
The others weren't surprised by Frederik's combat prowess, but the efficiency with which he killed his enemies was several times higher than it used to be. Frederik had yet to reveal the names of his other Soultraits, and since his attack pattern didn't change much – he was still using wind blades, like always – nobody could tell what exactly had changed.
All everyone could tell was that something was different.
