Chapter 1032: Just One More



Meanwhile...

"You are that Thrilled character, aren't you? I remember the robes. I didn't realise you were Bright Storm's captive now?" Eaniss said while pointing at the Ardent Curse.

Here, on this star, Null Life Essence didn't pool, creating a rigid space where sound couldn't travel before.

Thrill was quite infuriated at the new name he was identified with, but he remained silent. Strangling the Flawless Flail of Ruin in his hand was his only way to deal with his surging emotion.

"It is," Replicus answered for the Curse, his sockets flashing bright. "He has chosen to be my right hand man for a while."

Thrill groaned.

Over the gigantic star which spotted towering bright wisps of nullicious heat, and suffocating fumes, an odd standoff had been set.

Replicus, in his starry armour, and the [Nullmancer's Royal Raiment of Acclimation], Thrill in his white robes, and Araeyn on the red ribbon eerily similar to the one Eaniss was wearing, on one side.

Eaniss herself, the Mad Bishop, Warding Pride and several other Faction Leaders and their subordinates on the other.

The Faction Leaders excluding Eaniss used their Nitros to protect their underlings from the supernatural heat. The expenditure of energy was ridiculous, but most of them could handle it. At least for a little while.

The great sea vessels of all the remaining Factions acted as a dark addition to the background, some stacked on top of each, some already beginning to show signs of burning.

Eaniss and Warding Pride quickly stored theirs in storage, and the others followed their example.

Replicus patiently waited for them all.

"Your business with Em-Sul must be really important for all of us to have been dragged along," Eaniss said with a smile.

Replicus chuckled.

Of course she would know. She had seen Em-Sul get dragged into Baddan's Territory. "Indeed. But it's not like we're a team or anything, right? All of us here want to kill each other. This is the elimination portion of the voyage. How about I make the first move?" the Penetrator said, and he whipped both his hands before him.

The giant wisps of heat from the star suddenly surged as Skullius used (Greatest Null Weaver] to manipulate them. Since they were nothing but Null Life Essence embodying the nature of extreme heat, they willingly allowed themselves to be sent towards the Factions as a great, blinding tide that gushed with might!

The tide was very dense, so much so that it cracked the surface of the star, creating rifts and rises that spewed even more nullicious flame!

A litany of scorching explosions then ensued, which, when coupled with the awry tide caused the gathered experts to be separated, scattered to many edges of the star!

Because of the potent Nitros, only a few were killed by the piling heat, but the inflictions were never for Replicus to induce right now anyway!

"Finally! I thought it would be harder to catch you on your own!"

A pale man with white hair left a long, ghostly trail as he reached the Astute Duke.

He wore a devilish smile, his eyes pinned on his prize.

Replicus watched from afar as Aurolio confronted Araeyn.

His socket flames reduced to four concentrated beams.

'Again. That insidious interest in Araeyn...' he thought, but he wasn't too concerned. Araeyn

was hard to kill, especially in a separate dimension where he controlled pretty much

everything.

If anything, he was happy that the Apostle had been doing some heavy work. After all... [Apostle 'Araeyn Deragin Exonn' has killed LV33 Human. You have received 2,000 EXP] [Apostle 'Araeyn Deragin Exonn' has killed LV30 Human. You have received 1,500 EXP] [Apostle 'Araeyn Deragin Exonn' has killed 36 Human. You have received 3,500 EXP] [Apostle 'Araeyn Deragin Exonn' has killed 28 Human. You have received 990 EXP]

...

[You have levelled up!]

Finally, the Titan World Storm Penetrator had levelled up, reaching Level 79!

How?

Well, because Araeyn didn't need mana to level up, Replicus was free to take all the cumulative mana experience that the Apostle still gained from killing living things, and apply

it to himself!

Replicus could almost not remember the last time he had levelled up. He needed vast

quantities of experience after reaching the third tier, not to mention the fact that he was responsible for hundreds of other individuals that he had to share the experience - from

various sources - with.

Only one level left.

Just one level, and the Penetrator would reach Tier 4, the level that Serenity had promised would hold not only the ultimate powers for him, but all the knowledge he needed about what his purpose as a Null Lifeform even was.
