Chapter 932 To the Rescue

Chapter 932 To the Rescue

Michael felt a little different in his body: Shedding his mortal vessel was a completely different sensation from upgrading Sacred Constellation or refining his physique. It was more than that. It was so much more.

Michael stretched a little for a good minute before channeling enough energy into Cosmic Stride to escape the sealed cave. Since he was now formally acknowledged as the Lord of the Untamed Jungle, Michael could easily escape the containment seals that had been etched all over the cave. They didn't affect him.

He appeared several kilometers above the surface and closed his eyes. The first thing he did was to stir the monsters of the Untamed Jungle awake. Some monsters had been hibernating for years, decades even. Their deep slumber had to end. [Attack the Dragonkin. Act as you please to protect the Untamed Jungle, but kill them!] Michael commanded via Whispering Energy, his voice reverberating through the heads of the Untamed Jungle's monsters. This included the sentient plants spread across the Untamed Jungle's central area.

Once his order reached the jungle monsters and Michael received a response through their Links of Loyalty, he made his move.

He could instinctively tell where the Dragys were, how strong each was, and every little detail about their emotions and physical condition. The jungle's plant life told him everything Michael had to know, including their numbers, positioning, and course of action.

Everything flashed through Michael's mind: millions of pieces of information, some of them repeated hundreds of times. Michael's head rattled, but he dispersed the information influx in the Nature Heart once he knew where to go first.

He accessed Cosmic Stride again and appeared next to a large three where three Dragys, all Higher Lifeforms at the 6th Tier, attacked Hiraku valiantly. Hiraku wasn't even close to becoming a Tier-6 powerhouse, but he defended well. His Artifacts, three Legendary High Artifacts, drastically increased his physical prowess in the Titan form. But there was more to it. Hiraku's massive figure was coated in the Dragys' flames, but the veins covering him weren't burning. Instead, they consumed the flames and nourished Hiraku's prowess.

Michael smiled and walked up to Hiraku. He retrieved a few tens of thousands of SoulStar Fragments, applied Insert, and smashed the pile into Hiraku's chest.

"I forgot to wish you a happy birthday," Michael teased his friend before he added in a more serious tone, "You are the best right hand I could have wished for. If not for you, my territory in the Untamed Jungle would be no more. This is only a small reward. Use it well, and promise me to survive!" [Don't let my brother fool you. I am strong as well. Let me show you something cool!] Hel declared emotionlessly. Her voice made it sound like she wasn't excited, but the content of her words revealed the opposite.

The Death Seals blossomed on his right side without Michael's doing. He sensed Hel was doing something but didn't block her. Michael allowed her to move.

Death energy, missed with a dreary all-consuming darkness, burst out of Michael's ride side. It shot forward and engulfed the pile of Dragys corpses.

[Do you need their corpses?]

Michael thought about it for a moment, and while there might be many things he could extract from them once this mess was over, he shook his head. Hel was doing something big.

The all-consuming darkness swallowed the corpses and retracted, filling Michael's Energy Vortex with a torrent of perfectly purified energy and his Soul Grimoire with...Undead Souls?

Michael wasn't quite sure what the Undead Souls in his Soul Grimoire were, but he was about to find out.

He summoned the Soul Grimoire and unleashed Hel's abominations into the Untamed Jungle.
