'This is a handy skill,' he chuckled to himself, very pleased with how well the shield had performed.
He could tell that his second body was less durable than his original one, so having a reliable defensive ability like this was a real lifesaver.
Not only that, but since all the angelic skills grow stronger with his divine energy, they would continue to improve the more he fed his second body's souls.
So now he had two sources of power: his original body fed on vitality, while his second body drew energy from souls. This setup allowed him to maximize his benefits and strengthen both forms.
Next, he decided to try out the lance. It materialized in his hand, its sleek, golden surface gleaming in the sunlight.
He began by swinging it through the air, feeling the balance and precision of the weapon.
But it had another impressive feature: he could extend its range.
Reign focused on this ability, and to his amazement, the lance began to elongate. It stretched out, growing longer and longer. He experimented with its length, extending it up to 100 meters with ease.
Stay tuned to empire
As he watched the lance stretch, he couldn't help but recall a fictional character from his past world who used a similar weapon.
This fictional character's greatest feat was extending his staff all the way to the moon.
Finally, he tried out Seraphic Bow.
He summoned the golden bow, its intricate design and glowing string a testament to its power.
Pulling the string, a golden arrow materialized in his hand. Made of pure golden light, it shimmered with a radiant glow.
Spotting a boulder in the distance, he aimed and released the golden arrow.
SWOOOOOSH!
It soared through the air, striking the boulder with a burst of radiant energy.
The arrow exploded on impact, sending a powerful wave of light that pierced through the rock and shattered it into fragments.
Eager to explore the bow's full potential, he began experimenting.
He pulled the string back rapidly, firing arrows in quick succession.
Each shot exploded with blinding light, the rapid bursts creating a continuous wave of destruction.
Next, he focused on a single, powerful shot. He pulled the string back with all his strength, concentrating the divine energy.
The golden arrow started to hum and crackle as more and more energy built up inside it. But he didn't let go.
'Not yet,' he muttered to himself, carefully controlling the power he was gathering in the arrow.
His focus was unwavering; he knew that the longer he held it, the more powerful the shot would be.
Finally, when he felt the energy had reached its peak, he aimed carefully.
With a decisive movement, he released the arrow.
SWOOOOOSH!
It shot forward with a blinding flash, tearing through the air and hitting the target with a huge explosion.
The force of the blast was immense, sending a shockwave through the area and obliterating the boulder completely.
The radiant energy spread out in all directions, leaving a glowing crater where the boulder had once stood.

'Nice, with this body, I can move more freely,' he said to himself, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
'But there's one problem. What if I need to travel from one city to another? Do I have to carry this body with me?'
[System: Host, you can revert your second body to its Seed Form.]
'That solves a lot of problems,' he chuckled to himself.
His mind quickly started racing with new plans. With this new body now at his disposal, there were so many more things he could do now compared to his original one.
Blending in would help him gather the information he needed about who was behind the events in Brentwood.
Something as big as that would surely make a stir, and talking to the right people would help him find out what happened.
'The Veiled Nights should have some info,' he mumbled to himself, recalling the old organization he used to work for.
Now that he had a plan, the next step was to find a secure location to hide his original body.
It needed to be far from the town where the recent massacre had taken place and where he tested his new abilities.
After some thought, he decided to start by going back to his original body.
Then, his second body transformed back into a seed, which shrank and disappeared inside his chest. It was a simple process that didn't require much effort.
Next, he flew a few miles away, searching for a secluded area surrounded by dense forest.
There, he dug a deep hole, working quickly and efficiently. Once the hole was ready, he carefully placed his original body inside.
As he covered it with earth, he couldn't help but find a certain irony in the situation.
It felt strangely fitting for his original body to be buried underground, like a corpse.
