Chapter 499 Chaotic Battlefield

After their encounter with the two Tekur groups, the situation in the Descendants cohort changed considerably. Nobody took Michael lightly anymore. If anything, the Descendants started to respect him. Witnessing how Michael was able to challenge Killian as an equal was enough to catch them off-guard. It made them rethink their first impression of Michael.

Michael and Killian started challenging each other without speaking a word. They didn't talk about the challenges out loud but whenever they encountered one or multiple groups of Tekur they glanced at each other and charged ahead at full speed. Usually, Michael would Insert several layers of Enhancement on Killian to make sure that the Zeus' Descendant could deal with the enormous number of enemies. It might not be necessary, but Michael thought that it was better to take the safe route. After all, they had yet to encounter one of the three Elite Soldiers.

Michael was wondering where the Elite Soldiers were located, however, he was far more concerned about the situation with the traitorous human Descendants. The Descendants cohort found a group of Berserkers that was being attacked by human Descendants. Some Descendants from the cohorte knew those traitors. They were friends, or had been.

While the other Descendants hesitated to attack their friends – or former friends – Michael didn't even think about showing mercy. He used the Heavenly Beast Physique, applied several layers of Enhancement onto his body, and conjured one Soul Glacicle Bullet after another. His speed was shockingly high, allowing him to appear behind the traitorous Descendants before they could kill the Berserkers using their Soul Techniques. Using the advantage of his extraordinary speed, high reflexes, and perfect vision to advantage, Michael released one Soul Glacicle after another, bursting the traitorous Descendants' heads and chests in one go.

Only 24 hours were left before the isolated dimension would expel all of them, but it looked like the real battles were just about to begin.

"Thank you for saving us," One of the Berserkers said, recalling Michael from the team battles. He had seen Michael?around Lokai, Thaor, and Mekhaz, and knew that they were friends.

"But do you know what happened there? They attacked us out of nowhere. Aren't we a team?"

The Berserker didn't strike Michael as the smartest, but that made things easier.

"Our group was attacked by some traitors as well. It seems like the Supreme Human Alliance's influence reached us," Michael explained briefly. There was no need to go into detail. The only important thing was that some traitorous Descendants attacked them before as well. n()o-)V(-E..l.)b-.I.-n

"The Supreme Human Alliance? I think the Chieftain warned us about them before. He said that we shouldn't trust every human we encounter in the Origin Expanse. Not everyone is our ally."

Michael forced a smile and nodded, "That's basically it. The downside is that we have no idea who betrayed us. Do you want to join us on our way to the destroyed Dimensional Pillar? We want to gather as many Alliance Members as possible before the Flag War ends."

The others charged ahead as well, including Maria, who'd executed her movement technique to reach the injured as quickly as possible.

Michael stared at the ground for a moment, a trace of uncertainty lingering in his eyes. However, this uncertainty dispersed quickly. It lasted only a mere second before the Dome of Extraction erupted from his body.

He activated the Heavenly Beast Physique, added seven layers of Enhancement onto his body and kicked the ground to catch up with the others. He passed by most of them and reached Killian just before they barged into the chaotic battlefield. Killian's gaze locked on to the Tekur right off the bat, whereas Michael decided to eliminate the human traitors first.

They split up without saying a word, however, their understanding of each other's plan was precise. Michael could easily take out the enemies within their own rows. That was not something Killian could do with his Soultrait. He would, most likely, injure his comrades in the process of hunting down the traitors. Michael did not have such a problem.

He manifested two Aethyr Daggers, coated them in several layers of Enhancement and Reinforced Sword Qi and began his dance of death. Spirit Eyes fully unleashed allowed Michael to pinpoint his enemies with ease. He moved through the rows of allies and cut down the human traitors one by one.

Simultaneously, he unleashed the Dome of Extraction to drain their lifeforce, origin energy, and to continue draining them even after they died. Extraction tendrils shot out of the Dome of Extraction and extracted their SoulStar Fragments even after the enemies were already dead. The SoulStar Fragments entered Michael's body immediately. Nobody could see them, but even if someone could, it wouldn't matter at this moment.

Michael had acknowledged that his Powers would get exposed in the next few days, or weeks. At most, it would take a few months before even the densest person around him figured out what his Soultrait was capable of. Therefore, Michael focused on the fight ahead instead of holding back just to keep Extraction a secret. He, or the people around him might face severe consequences if he was to hold back, and Michael didn't want to be responsible for the deaths of the people around him. If anything, he wanted to help them.

He extracted the SoulStar Fragments from the corpses of the human traitors and used some of the SoulStar Fragments to replenish his rapidly drained Soul Power for the Heavenly Beast Physique. Using the Heavenly Beast Physique drained the Soul Power accumulated within the 6-Star Superior Constitution quickly. It was not instantaneous, but he could only utilize the Heavenly Beast Physique for a minute before the Soul Power within the Soultrait Symbol was drained. Fortunately, that changed by using SoulStar Fragments as a fuel.

It was painful to watch his precious SoulStar Fragments getting used up the moment they were extracted, but the utility was tremendous. Michael could continue to use Heavenly Beast Physique and focus on manifesting some Soul Glacicle Bullets to deal with the more annoying human traitors.

The human traitors used Soul Techniques as well, but it was evident that they were not adept at producing Soul Energy. Their mastery of the Soul Technique in their possession was also not that great. Michael, who possessed the experience of dozens of Tekur, was on a whole different level than them.

Michael's Soul Energy production was rapid and his mastery of both Soul Glacicle Bullet and Heavenly Beast Physique were leagues above the human traitors.

This allowed him to overwhelm the traitors and kill them with a single strike, or Soul Glacicle.

Not a single trace of guilt was visible in his eyes as he reaped lives.
