108 108 - War Chains

Aatrox looked at the wound he received during the battle and released a self-deprecating laugh. Training for thousands of years earned him an immense arsenal of numerous different skills, but none of these skills were useful to a mere Baron cultivator. If Aatrox dared to activate the Darkin arm for a fraction of a second, having his arm crippled was the last of his worries.

The Darkin body, the result of countless wars, blood, experience, sweat and tears from enemies, was the perfect combat weapon. With a regeneration that made the God of time jealous, Aatrox knew that without that body his path to cultivation would be more difficult.

But that body was his, so the same way Aatrox is managing to use Darkin's eyes for a few seconds, at some point, when his power is stronger, keeping Darkin's body activated indefinitely again will not be a mere illusion.

But for now, Aatrox has to get used to using only the huge amount of extra energy that the God Killer technique provides him with so he can challenge higher-powered growers to such battles if he didn't want to kill them, just as he did in the battle against Robert. Now if Aatrox wants to kill a grower without a headache, he has countless techniques in his memory for that.

...

Looking at the old man lying on the ground as he cultivated to finish closing his wounds, Aatrox felt it was a good battle. The best he's had since he came to this world. But before he could relax, Aatrox felt a powerful energy coming.

Instantly Aatrox entered a battle position and invoked the [Spiritual Sword] as he prepared to attack the moment the owner of this powerful energy entered his range.

Aatrox had ordered a lackey to ask for support from someone at Golden Fox, and apparently the person was arriving now.

As Aatrox had used only 30% of his energy fighting Robert, Aatrox would have to give everything he had in this battle to end it quickly. Robert being in this shed was a surprise to Aatrox, but he wouldn't mind dealing with another grower now.

Aatrox felt the speed of the other grower slowing as he approached, but at that distance, Aatrox could already feel that this grower was at the peak of the Baron ranking, just a few steps away from reaching the Visconde ranking.

Robert had just reached the advanced Baron, this person who was already in the Viscount ranking for so long was probably at least twice as strong as Robert.

But despite that, Aatrox wasn't scared. He hadn't used several of the cards up his sleeve because he didn't want to kill Robert since this man never showed real intention to kill Aatrox, he was just doing a favor.

However, this approaching cultivator had an enormous aura of death around him. Aatrox could smell the smell of blood coming from the aura of this man hundreds of meters away, this further proves the arrogance of man, who does not even try to hide his intention to kill.

This cut came out clearing all the smoke from the explosion and on the other side, a scream was heard when the energy generated by the cut hit it. This energy of the court was the same that ended the battle of Aatrox and Robert.

"Aaarrrgh! Who dares attack a member of the Golden Fox?!" A man with a low voice was heard on the other side.

Aatrox who already felt the intention to kill the man playing even stronger did not waste time talking and carried out other attacks, but this time even faster. Wave after wave of energy was being sent through the air to this man unstoppable while screams kept coming out of his mouth.

The frustration that this man was feeling at not even being able to see the enemy who was attacking him was immeasurable.

Aatrox feeling that the intention to kill this man gave a slight faltering, used a technique that he held against Robert exactly because he did not want to kill him.

[War Chains], Aatrox aimed at a target, and using an enormous amount of energy, twelve currents came out of the ground toward the target, and when it came into contact with a person, these currents begin to devour the target's soul.

But what made these currents even more unequaled is that the consumption of energy to keep them activated was too great for a single person to bear, so the currents used 50% energy from those who conjured them up and 50% of the target that the soul was having devoured by the currents.

Using this skill before reaching the Baron level would not allow Aatrox to keep this technique active for even 0.5 seconds, not to mention that this technique is basically a suicide to use against someone who has more energy than the conjuror, since the two loose energy at the same time, if the conjuror runs out of energy before the target, the chains will die and the target will be free to simply kill the conjuror, who is now out of energy.

But Aatrox didn't have this fear, this grower thought he ran at the full speed of the Price family without trying to hide his own power due to his own arrogance, so Aatrox knew he had spent a lot of energy on this journey.

And since his technique did not even reach the feet of God Killer, Aatrox knew that this man would die here and now.

Without any news, after a few seconds, the screaming stopped and everything returned to normal quietness. Robert's eyes were astonished and he was sweating cold as he thanked his own wisdom for not trying to have a fight to the death against Aatrox.

Aatrox was with very little energy at that moment, so he ran into the body of the man he killed looking for something of value before going to free people and fulfill his goal here.
