Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 988  Blood Reaper

Frederik levitated above the ground, studying the Divine Academy's students as they charged the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs. Not everyone attacked them at once, but every student did their fair share of work. Some used their Soultraits to strengthen their allies, while others focused on weakening their enemies. But there were also those with Soultraits that couldn't be used well in combat. They had been kidnapped and forced into Blood Incursion because their Soultraits were useful for tasks other than fighting. After all, a massive organization such as the Supreme Human Alliance desperately needed more than just combatants. They had to be managed, financed, equipped, and so forth.

Frederik studied the men and women intently and beheaded everyone attacking the Super Awakened. They were their enemies if their Soultraits were active and applied to affect the Super Awakened.

Frederik's wind blades inflicted tremendous damage. Their momentum didn't decrease even after they cut through the necks of dozens of enemies. The energy influxes entering his body were annexing and used to refine his War Rune and replenish his energy reserves. Taking a deep breath, Frederik unleashed one of his Soullife Arts through Aeroan. The wind blades turned invisible simultaneously and accelerated again. Hundreds of students died at his hands in the following minutes. Some High Awakened tried attacking him, but the projectiles were blocked, and the mental attacks endured with ease. Eye of the Storm helped him keep his composure and enter a trance-like state, drastically increasing his combat power. Maximize Efficiency did exactly what the name suggested. It maximized the efficiency of Frederik's intended attacks. If he desired to kill a Divine Lifeform, the Soultrait would aid the creation of the strongest possible attack, whereas trying to kill tens of thousands of enemies would end up with the creation of wind blades like the ones Frederik had already conjured. The wind blades were precisely calculated to consume little to no energy while completing their designated task.

But while Frederik did something amazing, he wasn't the only one on the battlefield. Almost 200 Super Awakened were spread all across Keiros to attack and conquer the Divine Academy.

Just as Frederik thought the large hall would be conquered in the next few minutes, he and the others saw more students and Divine Lifeforms entering. The commotion attracted their attention, and they came to help.

Frederik hesitated only for a quarter of a second before he attacked, but the others didn't hesitate at all. Thaor used his Crimson Aura with Red Giant, which he'd pushed to a 6-Star Soultrait not long ago. Unleashing the same old combo as usual, Thaor's body expanded until he was five meters tall. His muscles bulged, and the plastered stone underfoot cracked wildly as he pushed forward.

He activated 5-Star Master of Combat, his old Soultrait that he had upgraded once, to inspect the battlefield with extraordinary perception, and he went above and beyond by activating his newly acquired Soultraits: 6-Star Reaper, 5-Star Blood Power, 5-Star Diamond Bones, and 6-Star War Core.

Both Reaper and Blood Power temporarily enhanced Thaor's power whenever he killed or injured someone. Reaper absorbed the souls of the deceased, drained the power they'd accumulated in their lifetime, and transformed it into Thaor's power. A portion of it would be pushed into his Energy Pillar to refine his War Rune faster than the norm, but most of it amplified Thaor's power level.

Blood Power was similar, but it was easier to apply. Every cut inflicted to an enemy by Thaor would both replenish his stamina and energy, but also increase his power level by a fraction. The power-up wasn't immense, but it increased the amount of blood spilled out of the wounds inflicted by Thaor.

The longer a battle lasted, the stronger Thaor would grow. That wasn't very useful in an ordinary spar or a short fight, but every warfare was a golden opportunity for Thaor. As long as the battles lasted long enough, Thaor could easily kill Tier-7 Divine LIfeforms…en masse. Since the increase in power granted through Blood Power and Reaper were immense and too much for the body to endure at some point, Thaor was forced to accept 5-Star Diamond Bones, which altered his bone structure forever, strengthening it over and over again. Diamond Bones had an active effect too, but the permanent change had been the priority. Still, Diamond Bones was a powerful Soultrait that came in handy, not only because it helped Thaor grow stronger through Reaper and Blood Power but also because it augmented the damage inflicted through his punches and kicks. Diamond Bones altered and reinforced every single bone in his body after all.

War Core was a little bit more complicated, but it was also partially used to ensure that Reaper and Blood Power wouldn't augment Thaor too much for his body to handle. His Energy Pillar was slowly transforming into a War Core, a large marble that refined energy faster during combat. The more ferocious the fight, the faster the War Core worked. But that was only one of its multiple effects.

The War Core augmented Thaor's combat prowess and raw power but also increased his chance of attaining enlightenment during combat, drastically in deadly fights. It pushed Thaor to his limit and helped him to go above and beyond.

That was exactly what Thaor demonstrated in the battle against the Divine Academy. First, he attacked the High Awakened students charging fearlessly at him. Thaor crushed some of them, smashed their heads into smithereens, and squashed some of them to death. Their deaths filled Thaor with power, which he unleashed onto the Hyuman students without a trace of hesitation.

The Supreme Human Alliance's actions had caused fear and destruction all over the Tritan Alliance. If not for Michael, the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs would have ceased to exist…or they would have been forced into slavery, which wasn't much better than death to the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs. If not for Michael, the Hyumans would have won.

Thaor filled that thought with anger. His help wasn't needed, which was acceptable, but it wasn't okay for the Supreme Human Alliance to continue to exist. Thaor was more than willing to give his utmost, even his life, if that's what it needed to obliterate the Supreme Human Alliance.

The Divine Lifeforms in the hall had been taken care of. Kaleb killed them all, transforming them into ice statues before smashing them into countless little pieces, ensuring they were dead and would never see the light of life ever again.

Kaleb's transformation ended and he reverted back to his original appearance before collapsing to the ground. A faint smile blossomed on his lips, but smiling was already exhausting enough. He felt like every cell of his body had been frozen and drained of its lifeforce and energy. He lay there, struggling to retrieve a healing potion and remove the cap of the glass vial.

Still, no matter how painful moving around was, Kaleb was happy. He was alive and managed to kill a few DIvine Lifeforms without anyone's help.

He was strong enough to be of use.

That felt great!

Frederik, on the other hand, was still full of power. He cleansed the hall of Lesser Lifeforms, obliterated the Tier-4 High Awakened and ended the lives of those High Awakened who didn't expect their heads to be severed from their dead angle. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
