Chapter 228 – Why This Sh-…..Sigh.
The Doom Bringer Boar's size was not that big. It was just two meters tall and 1.8 meters long. But unfortunately for Athan, The boar made him its first target and dashed towards him with a zoom.
" Cra-"
Athan couldn't finish because the beast's speed was unbelievably fast, and smacked him hard.
*Tham…Thdak…boom…*
A trail of blood left his mouth as he was sent tumbling backward. His body started to erode due to the dark energy that stuck to him after the beast smacked him.
..p "
He was only allowed to use soul powers, but ironically, He didn't get or learn any soul-attribute attack ability. He had two soul quirks, but neither of them was usable to fight directly with soul attacks. He also didn't receive any magic related to soul-attribute.
' Damn…If only I could use Lucent's powers. '
He thought this because Lucent had fully headed towards soul and mind attribute altar spirit after its first transformation and its powers can be really useful to him in this situation.
Athan could use crude soul attacks with raw soul energy, but that would waste the soul energy, and it might not work on this beast.
" Haaa!…." Ferexa shouted as she dashed towards the boar who was preparing to hit Athan once again. Her body shined in a light blue glow as golden blue crystal scales appeared all over her body, forming a solid and beautiful crystal armor.
Crysax race members have one pointy spike as their hands and legs instead of five fingers.
Initially just one spike, her hands turned into the trident hand with three crystal spikes as she hit the boar powerfully.
*OOOOOINK…*
Hemakel also released a spell that looked like a dense rain of sharp water drops. The water drops were dark blue mixed with ice energy as they created frostbites on the beast that lasted for a few seconds.
But he didn't stop and continue releasing different and colorful spells.
While they kept the beast busy and at bay, Athan slowly stood up while sprouting another mouthful of blood with a frustrated face.
' Damn this luck, 'He knew that his luck was terrible from the start, but this was the reminder of it. He hasn't received soul attack abilities, and in the randomization between him and Hemakel, He got to use soul power and not energy power.
' I think my bad luck was kept at bay due to the things like white gold energy, special space, the Ark, which gave me benefits…sigh. I don't like this. '
After standing up, Athan still had a bad mood due to his thinking.
He decided not to be long-winded anymore and directly used his genome power.
" You want me to use soul power? Screw you. " A horned crown appeared on top of Athan while his body was covered in a faint purple aura.
He waited for a few seconds for a perfect chance.
After predicting its movement, He directly dashed towards the beast, which was giving a handful of trouble to Ferexa and Hemakel because of its super-fast speed and its tough defense.
Athan consumed 5% of his geno energy to boost the purple aura power around his two hands and directly punched with both of his hands at the left side stomach part of the beast.
*Chreeeeee…..*
Both of his hands bore two holes on the boar as it cried tragically.
*OOOOOOOINKKK….*
But it looks like it still had some vitality.
Athan looked at Ferexa and Hemakel, who had dumbfounded faces, " Idiots. Snap out of your daze and attack the beast. "
They gave one strange look at Athan before they attacked the near-death beast and killed it.
[ You will be transported to the next chamber of doom in five minutes. ]
" What the hell was that power? It didn't like any type of soul attack! "
Ferexa nodded in agreement with Hemakel, " Indeed. What was that? "
Athan was in a bad mood, but he had already calmed himself and returned to his calm self.
" You don't need to know what I used. All you have to do from now is to make an opening for me to attack against whatever things that are coming next. "
After saying this, Athan closed his eyes and started to recover however much genome energy he could.
He didn't have access to his energy realm and genesis realm, and even his body was weakened to a degree.
But he had access to his soul realm, So he started to recover his genome energy with the complete focus of his main soul and sub soul.
His main soul became stronger after its transformation, so it became more powerful qualitatively despite shrinking in size.
Previously, He needed thirty days to recover his genome energy fully. Though now, He could recover his genome energy from 0 to 100 percent in twenty days.
It was still a large time gap, and his geno skills also consume more energy, but…they are so powerful, so he felt that this much restriction is expected.
The third branch of his genome tree was also filled to twenty percent. He was gradually filling it up and couldn't wait to fill it up because maybe…Maybe he might be able to use his genome power more frequently like his other abilities after that? He wasn't sure about this but guessed it since it's taking so much time and energy to fill up this third branch.
The five minutes were soon up as the three of them disappeared and appeared in another hall.
This hall was more enormous than the previous hall and was filled with statues of beasts.
The smallest statue was three meters tall, and the tallest statue was ten meters tall.
[ Touch any beast statue, and it will activate and animate into a living doom beast and attack you. But touching one beast statue will automatically activate and animate another random beast statue into a living doom beast which will also attack you. ]
[ Among the fifty beast statues, Three of them are important, and upon defeating them, you will get a reward and a key. To pass this chamber of doom, You have to collect the three keys before…dropping dead. ]
Athan's calm face ever so twitched slightly hearing this, ' Why does this shit have to be luck-based too? '
