Chapter 852- Ancient Beast Soul

ROARR...

[Fiend Inheritance]

The general gave a loud war cry and roused his aura even further. Greyish black miasma which was far denser than before, released out of his body and covered the sky.

A faint pressure that gave one a revolting and stifling feeling, descended onto the place. The sky became dark and an ominous chill spread through the surroundings. Anyone who was exposed to this chill that generated from their very instinct of life, made them feel very uncomfortable.

In the air, dense greyish black energy released out of the general as they wiggled and twisted in the air. Then in the next second with a swift motion, they agglomerated together becoming weird grey markings and tunnelled into the skin of the general.

If one looked at him right now, they would be able to see that his skin had turned grey with peculiar markings all around his body. His hair turned white and his clothing quickly became bleak losing all colour.

It was not just appearance that was affected, even the space around him vaguely took on a grayscale colour. Looking at him, it would seem like he was a person of monochrome who came out of a black and white picture.

His very presence rejected all the colours of the world.

The changes were drastic and swift giving Cynthia no chance to even get shocked.

Clench... The general clenched his hand and gave an excited smile "Next I will show you that you are not the only one who has got an inheritance".

Whoosh... his figure disappeared before his voice was yet to even fade. At the same instant, Cynthia's eyes contracted to their limits and a hurried warning sounded inside her heart.

"Cynthia be careful, this person, he has employed a method that bears resemblance to the Beast Inheritance skill. At his point, his stats and everything have drastically increased".

Hearing Leo's shout, the graveness in her eyes increased even further. Five coloured elemental orbs floated around her body and quickly formed a five coloured shield.

BANG... just as it formed a dull rumbling noise rang out and the general's fist collided with the shield causing intense ripples to appear on it. Although the shield was able to absorb the force, it was unable to stop the invading greyish black miasma as cracks swiftly started appearing on the shield.

"Quickly get out of there, the Five Coloured Sacred Shield won't be able to last for long" Leo cautioned.

Cynthia immediately made haste and dodged the attack before it could breach through her shield. Right afterwards, two violet white claws materialised in the air and her counterattack began.

However, unlike before when the General had to take caution against her attacks, this time he simply ignored her attacks.

With a clench of his fist, he threw a simple punch without any fancy or flashy techniques to it. Though that seemingly insignificant punch contained enough power to disintegrate the claws that Cynthia materialised.

Just as she thought, it was the doing of that woman. The woman Cynthia was looking at was none other than Annette.

Leo followed her gaze and quickly understood the situation.

"I see, so it's her. No wonder she was able to cast spirit magic, the fluctuation I felt from her body did indeed feel familiar"...

"What do you mean?"...

Leo did not beat around the bush and directly spoke his suspicions "She is a spirit and not any ordinary spirit but a high ranking spirit at the very least. To be able to summon a being like her, I wonder how that demon achieved it"

"In any case, this is a good thing. With Spirit restoration Enchantment cast on you, I can increase the output of the beast inheritance without worrying about harming you in return. At the current level that your body is, it should be easily be able to handle at least 30% of my power" Leo remarked.

A tyrannical white light mixed with traces of violet surged out of Cynthia's body with an intensity of a tide. It spread out like a hungry lion and quickly bit down at the greyish black energy covering the sky.

The power of the white light caused the previously oppressive greyish black miasma to swiftly retreat as if meeting a predator.

After the white energy scared the other, it covered more than half of the sky, illuminating the battlefield with its sacred glow.

"What is going on?"

The General arched his brows. His attack had just been recoiled by that tyrannical white light as if cowed by its sheer might.

Just until a moment ago, he was completely in control of the battle, overpowering his enemy with each of his attacks. Yet just as his power surged, the opponent also employed some kind of unusual means.

"Hmph, I don't know what you are trying to do but it's useless. In front of the gift of that lord, any tactic or skill you use is useless" he snorted.

The peculiar greyish marking on his body squirmed causing the entire area around him to become greyscale. The rate at which the peculiar greyish black energy was invading the space also increased.

ROARR... However, just as he was preparing for another attack, a profound transformation occurred in the atmosphere above. The white light, having pushed back the greyish black energy, expanded to fill the void left behind, creating a vast expanse of luminous energy.

Within this expanse, faint yet discernible, the outline of an enormous lion materialized, its form pulsating with raw power. Bathed in a resplendent white light that seemed to emanate from its very being it emanated unparalleled grandeur.

Its massive form pulsed with a divine vitality, exuding an aura of sacredness and awe-inspiring power.

The ethereal lion was adorned with intricate patterns of violet stripes that seemed to dance and shift with every movement. Its mane appeared to ripple and flow like waves on a primordial sea, while its eyes gleamed with a wisdom that transcended mortal understanding.
