Chapter 1024: Accelerate To The Result

Thrill looked utterly pathetic despite being adorned in his long white robe which accommodated his unusual physique which featured four long arms.

Both his mouths - one which was where his eyes would have been and the one which was appropriately placed in relation to normal human anatomy - curled up in a deep frown as he glared at the figure of Replicus and those pure white eyes which seemed to dig deep within him, past the unnatural barrier that prevented normal phenomenon from reaching him.

The Ardent Curse hissed.

Never in his life had he experienced such humiliation as he did in the last three days.

He had thought that his innate untouchability would prove to be a tough hurdle for Replicus and company to overcome even after they had successfully captured him, but, well, that wasn't the case.

Replicus looked him dead in the... mouth, smiled and then manifested in his hand... a long golden wand of precious quality.

This was of course, the Flawless Flail of Ruin.

Replicus casually handed the wand to the Curse.

"Here. I need you to use it on me one last time. I might just get a bit of improvement in before engaging with those stuck-up bastards," he said.

The air turned heavy and taut immediately.

Thrill's fury died down considerably and beads of sweat started to fall from his face.

'Dammit! Dammit!' he thought in despair.

Six eyes glared at him, puking absolutely ferocious killing intent his way.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

Pherdanta, Allora and Grim always inspired this amount of fear into Thrill every time he was given the golden wand to use for their master's intended desire.

The Flawless Flail of Ruin had belonged to Hope, the Cluster General for the Cluster Thrill was born in; the powerful Ardent Curse who had six arms and six deadly wands.

The Cluster General's wands could only be used by another Ardent Curse, and as such Replicus had brought Thrill aboard. His role was, of course, to use the Flawless Flail of Ruin on Replicus whenever he assumed his Penetrator form; in such times, Replicus would conjure clouds for his subordinates to stand on until the cooldown for [High Cosmetic Body] ended.

Of course, at first Thrill resisted Replicus' demands.

... Until he was sent to think carefully about his position in Stagnant Space.

Replicus had realised that the Ardent Curses weren't immune to every kind of attack.

The theory he had developed some time during the voyage was proven to hold some credence when he considered that the Ardent Curses could be contained in a Cluster.

Since that was the case... then he might have been right!

Stagnant Space, the massive dark space that existed somewhere in the folds of Aigas - a large block of stability - was what facilitated the creation of Clusters using the divine energies that leaked from the bodies of the three Deities; the land, the sea and the sky!

As mana exploded out of him into the chains and the ship, eighty-two more wheels were formed along the length of the chains, and they spun forth, pulling with heft!

Finally, the dark ship galloped forth, drawn by nothing but an aggressive pull!

It shot ahead with thrice the speed it was capable of on the sea, and soon, it passed the formation of ships below before coming to a stop a distance ahead.

When it stopped with a great, momentous jerk, no one seemed to need another verbal cue from

Replicus or a motivational speech.

Baddan, Allora, Grim and Pherdanta headed for the edge of the ship and waited for the formation of Faction ships to arrive below them.

Rapid thoughts filled their heads, as did the rush of adrenaline to their bodies.

Replicus had already told them all to expect their pre-established thoughts and assumptions to be

wrong, but nevertheless, they were to stick to the plan.

Good.

All was good so far.

Huff. Huff.

Grim could already feel his blood boiling, and his eyes shone with a crimson light when he saw the vessels finally pass right under them.

Under the stupefied stare of Thrill, he was first to dive, followed closely by Pherdanta then Allora,

then Baddan.

At the same time, Replicus' casual smile faded as a notification popped in his view.

['High Cosmetic Body' has timed out 00:00:00:00]

His simple shirt and pants vanished as a tall, slender, majestic and domineering armour that highlighted the limitless glare of countless stars over its dark base took their place, a set of sharp horns growing from its helm.

Four slots opened on said helm, and from them, four blinding flashes of blue light gushed forth, originating from the figure within the Hollow of the armour; he who shed his skin and flesh to become the infamous Titan World Storm Penetrator!

"That's better," Replicus said just as Baddan disappeared from deck, and he looked at Thrill.

The Curse's head scrolled back to Replicus and he looked up, adjusting to the new height and power.

The Penetrator pointed at the Flawless Flail of Ruin and then at himself.

Thrill didn't need to hear the Null Lifeform's instruction to understand his task.

After taking a glance at Araeyn's emotionless face, he shakily pointed the Flail at Replicus, and a bolt of energy rushed out to smack onto the Hollow Dusk Prison....
