1554 Revival?
When Raweth and Sparrow asked for Ajax's help through the voice transmission, he asked them to stall for a few minutes.
At the same time, he also asked them to distract the Golden-winged young man and lower his guard.
Therefore, Raweth and Sparrow decided to put an act on becoming the Golden-winged young man's servants.
However, who would have thought that he was lustful and entirely put his guard down after flying towards Sparrow?
"What do you say? Are you willing to become my ninth concubine?"
"Y-yes."
Since Ajax asked them to let the Golden-winged young man's guard down, she nodded her head after some hesitation, which made the young man completely put his guard down as he was so excited.
Moreover, the two golden vines were wrapping around Raweth and Sparrow. So, he knew they could not do anything which made him put his guard down.
'Argh'
The young man groaned in pain as he fell to the ground.
The Golden-winged young man was fully focused on Sparrow as he didn't sense the incoming Heaven's destroyer spear. Because of that, the peak legend-grade spear pierced through one of his golden wings.
For the Angel race members, their wings were delicate and didn't have much defense. Even if it had some good defense, it was not impossible for Heaven's destroyer to pierce through those wings.
There were multiple reasons for that and they are:
1) Five times increase in his strength.
2) Grade 5 Spear Dao.
3) Special passive effect 'Ignore Defence' of the Spear.
4) 20 percent additional damage from the title 'Weapons Master'.
5) Last but not least, it's Ajax's fury to kill the young man who killed Snow at any cost.
Adding together all boosts, it was not hard for Ajax's spear to pierce through the wings of the Golden-winged young man.
"Everyone, don't get him any opportunity to make his move."
Even though Ajax wanted to kill the Golden-Winged young man very badly, he knew that was not important now.
'The most important thing now is to save Snow.'
Therefore, he ordered all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits that followed him here to take care of the Golden-winged young man.
Since one of the Golden-winged young man's wings got pierced, Ajax knew his battle prowess would be decreased a lot.
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Ajax's orders, all the summons hurriedly nodded their heads before rushing toward the Golden-winged young man on the ground and started using their attacks.
They didn't give him any opportunity as they landed one powerful attack after another, creating more and more injuries on his body.
'Snow!!'
Ajax, on the other hand, rushed towards Snow's bloodied body on the ground.
'What should I do? What should I do?'
It was Ajax's first time that one of his contracted spirit beasts died. Moreover, Snow was his first contracted spirit beast that he met in the Inheritance grounds.
Ajax's mind fell into chaos as he didn't know what he had to do to revive Snow.
'Even my demonic soul 'Orb of Death' is useless' to revive someone like Snow. I should have focused more on this demonic soul.'
Suddenly, Ajax felt regretful for not focusing on upgrading the 'Orb of Death' because if it was a high level, he might have revived king and emperor realm cultivators.
However, what Ajax forgot was that it was not an easy thing to upgrade a level 1 king realm demonic soul to an emperor realm demonic soul.
'I should have never increased the strength of my contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits so soon.'
At the same time, Ajax blamed himself for another reason and it was for increasing the cultivation of his contracted spirit beasts.
If Ajax didn't increase their strength, he would have not sent them out to conquer the small tribes on the Floating Island on their own.
If they were not on their own, Snow would have not died.
'Even if I increased their cultivation, I should have at least waited until they learned how to separate their souls from their bodies. If they encounter any dangerous situation where they could not escape with their physical bodies, they would leave their physical bodies to escape from that situation.'
The thing is, even though Emperor realm cultivators could leave their bodies in the soul form to escape from the dangerous situation, Snow was unable to do it.
It was not because he only became an Emperor realm cultivator recently; instead, it was because she and the other re-cultivated spirit beasts increased their cultivation to the Emperor realm in a short time.
Even though they have excellent battle prowess, they didn't know how to separate their souls from their physical bodies.
Ajax clenched his fists as he started to understand a few things that he didn't understand before, 'It is not about becoming stronger overnight or maintaining a solid foundation. It is all about understanding more about the cultivation realms.'
If Snow was able to escape in her soul form, Ajax would have nurtured her soul and helped her in creating a new body with the help of the Soul Nurturing Tree.
However, there was nothing he could do now other than blaming himself and regretting for life.
Finally, Ajax understood why everyone says that while cultivating, you should take it slow and should not hurry it.
'If only I…'
As his summons were venting their anger on the Golden-winged young man, Ajax was regretting and blaming himself for Snow's death.
'Heal'
Ajax was unable to accept that Snow was gone and could not bear to see Snow's body that was fully covered with injuries.
Therefore, he decided to at least heal her body.
'Ding,
The host used 10 units of Sacred Astral Energy to heal a soulless body.
'Ding,
The system detected the traces of her soul in the white gown Snow was wearing. The host can revive his contracted spirit beast.
Suddenly, two system notifications rang in Ajax's head, which made him hopeful again.
'What?'
Ajax hurriedly asked the system, 'How? What should I do to revive her?'
