Chapter 731 Supreme Soldier II

They were equally fast now that the Supreme Soldier changed something about his tactic, but Michael didn't understand how the Supreme Soldier was doing it.

The Serpent Seals were active, Heavenly Beast Physique was triggered, and several Enhancement layers enhanced Sacred Constitution. It shouldn't be possible for a Lesser Lifeform to be as fast as Michael. Yet, that was precisely what happened.

Michael frowned deeply and manifested the Soul Grimoire to use several Soul Tears to amplify Enhancement, Sacred Constitution, and Cosmic Stride.

His top speed increased by a notch the moment the Soul Tears' power came into effect. The Supreme Tekur screeched and clawed at Michael several times in quick succession, but he evaded most attacks. His superior speed, combined with Spirit Eyes' Prognosis, was enough to block most attacks. However, Michael didn't evade all attacks.

He allowed two attacks to hit to insert a massive amount of Extraction's power inside the Supreme Soldier.

Michael had noticed that most beings wouldn't notice Extraction taking root inside them when one of their attacks struck. After struggling to hit Michael, the Supreme Soldier was overjoyed that multiple attacks struck his arms. His claws inflicted severe injuries. They cut deep into Michael's flesh.

'His physical strength is not on par with mine, but he is as strong as Hiraku. Maybe he is even stronger than Hiraku!' Michael noted. He had already guessed that, but it was weird that the Supreme Soldier's speed and strength doubled suddenly.

At least Michael had Soultraits that explained his power. The Supreme Soldier didn't have any Soultraits that enhanced his physical strength. Otherwise, Michael would have sensed that.

[What if it's a Soul Technique?] Danny guessed.

The Tekur race was superior to the Tritan Alliance. They had Soul Techniques and several Divine Lifeforms. It wouldn't be a surprise if they had some technique that increased their physical powers temporarily. However, such techniques usually come with a big drawback.

'What is your drawback? How long can you keep this up?' Michael asked himself while activating the Cursed Seals to drastically increase Extraction's potency. He shrouded his body in a thick membrane of True Extraction and devoured the surrounding energy instantaneously, leaving no trace for the Supreme Soldier to absorb.

Michael enhanced Extraction's power and willed the golden roots inside the Supreme Soldiers to spread out and do their work.

The Supreme Soldier tried to resist the roots of extraction inside him upon noticing them, but Michael unleashed Spiritual Domination with 10 Enhancement layers. That wasn't enough to knock out the Supreme Soldier, but it shattered his resistance for several seconds.

The Supreme Soldier couldn't resist True Extraction's roots and suffered the aftereffect. His origin energy was drained rapidly, and the same happened to the bits of lifeforce left inside his body.

[Since there should only be Lesser Lifeforms in this dimension, it's pretty good. If every Tekur had such a technique, the Tritan Alliance's prodigies would have been eradicated in this year's Flag War. It was a good decision to enter alone.]

Michael nodded slowly. His brother was right. None of the Tritan Alliance's prodigies could survive against the Supreme Soldiers. After all, the Flag War was a battle of Lesser Lifeforms. At least, that's what it was supposed to be.

"I think that technique is pretty good if you want to surprise your enemy or if you fight someone stronger than you. It's just a little bit problematic once you're out of lifeforce. You're literally betting your whole life on winning."

[Everyone does that in a life-or-death battle. You either kill your enemy with all you have, resulting in a drawback, or you will die. If you're dead, it doesn't matter what happens to your body. Dead is dead.]

The Supreme Tekur writhed weakly in pain. His carapace was crumbling, and his insides twisted and twitched. The Tekur was not yet dead, but his condition was really bad. Unleashing the technique that had drained his lifeforce had been too much for his body. The Tekur used the technique for too long and with too few lifeforce reserves.

His current condition was the result.

Michael approached the dying Tekur and unleashed True Extraction upon it. He drained the Tekur's SoulStar Fragments, slowly tearing them out of the dying Awakened's soul.

Several minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Michael finished extracting all Spirit Star Shards and was about to tear the Spirit Trait Symbol out of Tekur's body when he thought about something else.

He used Mind Reader on the Tekur for the next few minutes. The minutes felt like eons for the dying Tekur, but they were over shortly for Michael. It was too short. He found out some crucial information about the Tekur race, yet he missed some intel that would have helped him in the following battles.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Tekur died before Michael could find out everything. His life energy was exhausted.

"Well. Whatever," he shrugged before proceeding to use Drain again.

He extracted the Tekur's Soultrait, three Memory Orbs, and a portion of the Tekur's War Rune storage.

The stuff he found attracted Michael's interest. However, before organizing everything, he was the most curious about the Memory Orbs. If the Elite Tekur's Recall Spheres were already helpful then the Supreme Tekur's memories must be even better.

"Show me everything!"
