363 REVIVE

He concentrated and close his eyes and he could feel that there is a force of energy surrounding him making him feel that he is protected

When he opens his eyes however, there is nothing in front of him

It seems that this spherical dome of protection formed form the energy of Heaven and Earth is not observable by human eyes. 

But Aero could feel it.

There is like a layer around him. 

He closes his eyes again and try to concentrate harder and then he could shrink that dome as the protection energy layer itself upon Aero skin.

At this time Aero smile as he took a dagger on the table and crouch down

He then untied the ankle protector and for a few second he hesitated but then he moves his hand and slice his ankle.

Instead of feeling the pain that would usually come even with a small nick or injury to his ankle, this time, the dagger bend and broke after hitting his weak spot and Aero eyes shines even brighter

'This seems to work even with the Curse of Styx still active' he thought to himself. 

This fill him with a more confidence. 

All this time, after the fight he had with Zeus, he had always had to hide in the Chancellor residence. 

To most people, it is that he did not want to fight and more focused on administering the Empire. 

Who could know his sorrows? 

Aero had always fear someone would accidentally attack his ankle. This weakness if revealed would bring a lot of dire consequences.

But with this skill, he could at least bluff his way out later. He did not have to worry too much about any weapons aimed at his ankle as he could use this skill

Though, it is unfortunate that it would only last for ten seconds.

If its longer, it would be better since he could risk more when he fights other people. 

Killing intent when solidify into a certain point of thickness could also do what this protection energy did but for some reason killing intent did not work in protecting the ankle, the part where he is mortal

It is like there is some rejection power in that. He then checks the other title Demon of War

Aero Carlingian have unlocked the achievement of Demon of War

Requirement: killing around fifty thousand people 

Title received: Demon of War

Title has evolved from Demon of the Battlefield to Demon of War

Title Perks: Your manipulation of killing intent is reaching a master level. There is no one else that has killed as much as you and it gives you a certain feature of the demons from the Eastern Heaven. 

Your killing intent could suppress and create illusion in the feeble minds of people. In a battlefield, your body would become stronger, your perception would become faster and your attack would possess the resentment of the death. The more you killed, the powerful you become.

(This does not include Holy men from the Church or some people who were blessed by the Gods or deities where the effect of this title would be lessened or even at times neutralized.

You have reached almost the ultimate title evolution for this place. 

Gained the Path of Killing (Beware that by cultivating this path it might change your personality and temperament)

the skill Slashing Through Life and Death evolve into Cutting Deities

His Slashing Through Life and Death had evolved into this new attack. The name itself is quite domineering

Cutting Deities. One thing Aero had noticed about Lizhu is that he seems to have complicated relationship with divine beings.

Like the Sword of Mars that belong to Poseidon. Most of his weapons and items seems to describe that many of his struggle is against divine beings.

Aero like excitement like any other person but, he truly did not want to step into fight against some Divine Being.

He quickly checks the status window. 

His status window was still showing the Slashing Through Life and Death status window but the moment Aero brought it up, the words in the status window of the skill slowly changes

Aero then check the status

Cutting Deities (SPECIAL RANK)

A skill derived from your dedication to killing and bloodshed. This skill would gather all the killing intent around you to produce a strike that would take all the lives of people around you. 

The effect of this strike and its range of attack depends on the amount of killing intent that is around you. It could not differentiate friend and foe, so be prudent before using it. 

With the upgraded version, you now could wound even Gods and Goddesses with your strike. This could only be used once a day. 

As for the three strikes of the Slashing Through Life and Death, with the ranking up of this skill, you now have such power to unleash such strike anytime that you have accumulated enough Killing Intent. 

Be careful when using this strike since it would drain you immensely. 

\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e 

No wonder it is called Cutting Deities. This skill literally could cut down Deities.

But how much of killing intent he needs to have to even be able to cut Gods and Goddesses.

After all, even though Aero had never met Zeus, the King of Olympus, he had met a few Gods and deities in his journey like Athena and Thetis.

He remembers his fight with Cerberus. 

That is just the pet of the Unseen One, the God of Death Hades and even that had posed quite a challenge. 

From what he knows about Gods and Goddess, their power is almost limitless.

There is nothing that they could not do. He did not doubt the power of this skill. After all he had met Lizhu Gerard before and know how powerful that man really is

It is just that to even wound a deity, it must require a lot of killing intent. Only then it could wound such deity that have almost limitless power

He sighed.

'It almost like you want me to fight against deities' he thought to himself. 

Taking the legacy of too powerful person also have its difficulties. After all, is it not because of Lizhu items that he had become the target of Poseidon?

Though, one could argue that it ends well with him getting the Curse of Styx. It is like giving him a shortcut to power. 

If not how could he have fought Zeus after such a short time and even defeated him and become a legend?

It is hard to describe the feeling he felt about the legacy of Lizhu Gerard. It seems that when someone got a legacy, you will not inherit their skill but also inherit their enemies

But then he shakes his head

'I better not overthink it' he thought to himself.

All in all, he had a lot of benefits. It is a pity that he was not given any items or potions after the completion of the war. 

One of the things that he wanted if he successfully wins the war is a revival items.

That thing is quiet rare nowadays. Those who have it would not sell it, those who knows where it is won't tell. After all, for adventurers while money is good and all, life is more important.

Having a revival items would guarantee that they have a second chance in life.

Money could be gathered again. 

But not life. 

He had been searching for revival items since he had establish back his intelligence agency in Veranis half a year ago.

There is not chatter whatsoever of any adventurer that wanted to sell their revival potions. Everyone seems to be silent about this matter. It is not that there isn't one. 

It is just that nobody wanted to tell anybody about such item in their possession. It could bring about bloodshed if someone knows that you have revival items.

If you don't have enough power or influence, having such a precious thing would cause you to be hunted by the world.

Of course, there is also some revival items that is public and everyone knows where it is but nobody dares or could take it.

This of course refers to the revival items belonging to the Empire, the Church and the United Kingdom of Veva.

It is known that the Empire have a few revival potions in their treasury. It is not that Aero did not think of taking it for himself after he returns. 

It is that he could not take it without justification. 

Of course, later he could take it but he wanted to have it before he returns. 

And while the purview of the Treasury is under the Six Council. 

the treasury which house the revival potions belong to the private treasury of the Emperor and not the Empire treasury

He would really like it if he did not owe anything to the Emperor. That is more problem that he could take. The Emperor is not someone that Aero is comfortable owing a favor to.

Especially since he himself had been a warier of Edward. There is a lot of things that he had found out about Edward as he moves in the world undetected this past year.

The Emperor is not some timid cat. But a lion just like his father.
