Chapter 266 A Named Monster [Part 2]: Daughter Of The Lost Skies

The beast slowly and majestically moved its powerful legs, its blue eyes gleaming at Northern with the dangerous oversight of a predator eyeing its prey.

Northern stood straight, looking at the beautiful monster.

To top it all, the Mortal Blade was unable to get through its scales.

With more force, it probably would, but the whole thing was just annoying.

Northern wondered for a second where the rest of the cohort was and if they were facing the same thing.

But he quickly pushed the thought to the back of his head. Right now, he just needed to focus on himself alone.

He thought about materializing Koll's soul again, but it wouldn't work like that.

Right now, he knew he wouldn't be able to. While he was able to use Koll's soul on another level and execute a level of attack that could even be considered near an Ascendant's, it placed a great burden on his own soul.

Frequent use was bound to cause some damage.

So he had decided that putting them on his clone was the most efficient way to use the soul.

And right now, that would just seem like cheating.

He gained nothing from the fight with the Kirithon and he didn't regret it as much. The situation at the time demanded that the creature be dealt with as soon as possible.

But this was a different case.

Just like in the rift... this... he wanted to enjoy this too.

Slowly, a twisted grin crept up Northern's face.

With an outburst of black sparks, the Soul Taker appeared in his other hand.

Then he shifted his left foot backward a little and lowered his upper body following it.

The Mortal Blade was carelessly resting over his shoulder while the tip of the Soul Taker extended outward, glimmering with the ecstasy to be adorned by the nourishing essence of this monster's soul.

And...

Whoosh!

Northern disappeared, reappearing behind the monster, already adorned in black armor with blue glows here and there.

To truly deduce how powerful he was.

He dug the onyx blade deeper, flames sparking and shattering as the monster gagged on Northern's sword.

Blue gore dripped down like expensive silk.

The monster staggered and tried to run, but Northern's hand was already clutching a flaming black lance, poised to lunge forward like a javelin.

The air parted as Northern whipped his hand forward.

Viciously, the lance impaled the monster, which shuddered a couple more times before finally giving up the ghost.

Northern relaxed his stance and looked down as those well-

missed letters came up to his face.

[Congratulations, you have slain a Catastrophic Beast]

[You have gained 5 talent fragments]

[Congratulations, you have slain a Named Monster]

[You have absorbed the True Name: Daughter Of The Lost Skies]

Description: [In this valley, the Lost Skies ruled and peace reigned, but one day, the Dark Cloud spread its wings, wreaking havoc with torrents of tornados. This is the last gift the Lost Skies could give, appointing a new Lord of the valley... to at least preserve the true essence of the valley.]

Northern found his mouth slightly agape, stunned at this development.

'So this was how it worked.'

Because of his name, he could absorb other names... he hadn't really tested it, because it demanded practical use.

So, he usually considered this ability and Chaos his last option. Unless it was a situation that could not be helped, he didn't want to resort to using it.

But if it could be used on monsters, that changed the whole story.

However, named monsters are quite hard to come across.

Northern looked at the corpse of the Lumidrake. It shouldn't have been an easy kill.

It wouldn't have been for anyone.

He owed it to his magnificent armor.
