Chapter 1061 Shattering The Outer Shell

1061 Shattering The Outer Shell

As Izroth approached the unusual statue, he was met with a cascading wave of the Law of Void. The pressure from this wave alone was enough to send most players flying back without a fight; however, Izroth continued to walk forward leisurely.

After his initial encounter with the statue, Izroth understood that he could not approach it in a reckless manner. The moment he let his guard down, he would be swept away by the wave of the Law of Void.

While the statue did not appear to have any killing intent the first time, Izroth was not foolish. He knew that there was a possibility that the statue had a warning system. This meant that it may be "friendly" the first time and merely knock one away that it deemed not worthy of its attention. But, if one chose to ignore that warning, the statue could use a more stronghanded and permanent method in dealing with that individual.

Nevertheless, Izroth was aware that reward and risk often worked hand in hand. Seldom did one come without the other. And, in most cases, the greater the risk, the better the reward.

The closer Izroth moved to the statue, the more overwhelming the pressure and the denser the Law of Void became.

〈System Alert: Your efficiency with the skill «Boundless Emperor Void Perfection» has increased.〉

'Getting close to it alone is enough to affect the progress of my Boundless Emperor Void Perfection. If I can absorb the Law of Void gathered in that statue or use it as a catalyst, it should be possible to reach the Great Void Merging and obtain Void Turning in one step.'

Since Void Turning used the power of The Void, it could not be executed without something like the Great Void Merging, an ability that would allow Izroth to connect to The Void and tap into its power directly.

Izroth halted his steps in front of the strange statue as the aura around him abruptly changed.

At the same time, a faint humming sound started to echo from the statue. It had used the same tactic the last time to knock Izroth tens of meters away. This time, however, Izroth was fully prepared.

〈System Alert: You have activated the effect «Strength of the Ancient Colossus».〉

The next moment, a sharp and penetrating aura of destruction formed around the palm of Izroth's right hand as an explosive energy surged.

Oooooooom...!

Izroth's gaze sharpened as he concentrated on the statue's center. As he did so, an unknown force rushed out from that area in an overwhelming fashion.

As the unknown force approached Izroth, in one motion, he struck forward with his palm, meeting the unknown force head-on.

BANG! Shriiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Although it became somewhat easier to deal with the statue after its outburst, it was still difficult to break through its layers of defenses—even with the Fusion Skill First Baneful Sword: Destruction Point. Therefore, Izroth decided to take his approach one step further.

Izroth opened his mouth slightly, and a small spherical object could be seen hidden within. The object was crimson red, encompassed with a faint yellow aura, and released a fierce yet refreshing scent as it dissolved.

The moment it dissolved, a powerful aura burst forth from Izroth's body.

〈System Alert: You have gained the temporary passive skill «Solar Extremity» for 1 minute.〉

〈System Alert: The effects of «Lunar Touch» have been activated.〉

BOOM!

An explosive surge empowered Izroth's strike after he consumed the Two Solar Extremities Pill. However, this was not the normal Two Solar Extremities Pill. It was one of the pills that had been affected by Blessing of Craft and upgraded to a grade-four pill.

Not only did it increase all of Izroth's offensive stats by 100%, but thanks to the Lunar Touch effect gained through the Blessing of Craft, the after-effects of consuming the pill that reduced one's stats by 50% would be completely negated.

Izroth's Fusion Skill First Baneful Sword: Destruction Point pierced onward as the sound of something cracking from the direction of the statue entered his ears.

Craaaack! Oooooooooom!

A terrifying wave of void energy resonated throughout The Void as the strange statue violently trembled. At the same time, the fluctuations that appeared on the statue's surface stopped, and the dark metallic-like alloy that made up its outer layer shattered.

'Oh? Is this its true appearance?'

Izroth lowered his hand as an object twice the size of one's fist slowly descended from where the statue's head was originally located and into his palm.

The object was a miniature version of the strange statue; however, there were no signs of any fluctuations. Furthermore, the intense pressure the object gave off had completely subsided.
