Chapter 751 Control Over Souls

"So why have you revealed yourself? Surely you aren’t doing this to say hi now, are you?" Shiro smirked while using wind to send Beril, Tricia and Quella away from their current location.

"Well the initial plan was to kill you after the clown obtained the divinity but seems like that plan was flawed. With how tired you are after reaching the boundary, I say it’s a perfect chance to kill you." He narrowed his eyes as the muscles on his body started to twitch.

"Funny, I was about to say the same." Shiro grinned before dashing towards him with her spear and sword.

Twisting her body, she activated Nyx’s divinity as darkness exploded out from her, blocking the Ancient Terrors sight along with dampening his magic so that he can’t escape like last time. She distinctly remembered that his body was able to disperse into shadows much like what she can do now.

Activating her boundary, she could see the red glows on the Ancient Terror’s body which symbolised his weaknesses but she knew that some of them were fake.

Since he recognised her stamina problem with obtaining the boundary, that meant that he must understand how it worked.

Narrowing her eyes, she decided to test the waters for now by attacking all of the spots and seeing how he reacts.

Flicking her wrist, countless sword slashes appeared around the monstrosity as he only grinned as allowed the attacks to land against him. Just as she did this, she sensed a spark of magic as she readied herself for his attack but it was something unexpected.

*PUSHI!!!!

Widening her eye, Shiro watched as the slashes appeared on her body instead of the monster.

Jumping back, she furrowed her brows as one of her eyes had been damaged during that short exchange.

’What the hell?’ She thought to herself while blood poured down her face.

"Surprised? The last time I fought the one who had obtained the boundary, it was rather difficult since I could neither guard nor attack. In the time I have been awake, I’ve managed to find a way to counter people like you. So how is it? Does your eye hurt?" The Ancient Terror laughed as Shiro only shrugged.

"I’ve felt worse. The eye is nothing compared to what I had to go through." Shiro smirked.

"Interesting. Are people outside of this world like you as well? If so I must see how well they stand up to pain."

"Not really. I’m quite an anomaly even to the gods." Shiro smiled as she dashed towards him once more.

When her attacks were reflected, she had sensed a spark of magic so as long as she dampens the effects of his magic/nullify it, her attacks should go through.

Seeing her charge in fearlessly despite the result last time, the Ancient Terror knew that something was up so he raised his claws and swiped towards her.

Transforming her body into a collection of shadows, Shiro phased through his attack and appeared in front of his face.

Twisting her body, she stabbed her spear towards his head.

Sensing the flicker of magic once more, she activated Nyx’s divinity.

*PING!!

The sound of glass shattering could be heard as an invisible barrier around the Ancient Terror shattered apart the moment her spear stabbed into his head through the nose.

With the petrification enchantment on her spear, a layer of petrification could be seen spreading all over his body as the Ancient Terror widened his eyes in shock.

Grabbing the spear, he wanted to pull it out of his head but Shiro only smirked.

Letting go of her spear, Shiro grabbed the Ancient Terror’s arm and used it as a pole to flip her body behind him.

Grabbing his horns, she slammed a condensed ball of air to the back of his skull and sent him crashing forward.

*CRACK!!

Hearing the crack of the spear shattering a part of the skull, Shiro jumped back as rows of teeth exploded out of his back and tried to pierce her but it failed to reach.

"You’re harder to kill than I expected. Who knew you could cancel out magic." The Ancient Terror growled.

"Normally I would have used a different method but Nyx’s divinity is quite handy." Shiro smiled. Unfortunately, she had used her remaining charges on her restrictions in the trial otherwise she would just activate the restriction of magic.

"I can see that but unfortunately for you I am immortal. You cannot kill him." He grinned.

Pulling out the spear, he was about to snap it in half when Shiro quickly summoned it back to her hand. While Blessed Weapons are usually indestructible, she didn’t want to risk her chances with something that had been alive for such a long time.

Summoning her bow, she notched her spear before firing it at him.

Diving into the shadows, she reappeared behind him and wrapped her chains around his arms.

"As for you being immortal, we’ll see about that. For all I know, it’s just your body." Shiro narrowed her eyes since she dealt with souls rather than the body.

Cancelling his magic once more, she watched as the spear pierced his chest.

Diving into the shadow once more before the teeth could stab her, Shiro dragged the chains with her as his body was forced to the ground.

Flicking her wrist, she had the chains wrap around him while a black dress appeared around her body.

With her spirit nature activated, she slammed her hand against the ground before dragging out a lantern of sorts that glowed with a turquoise light.

Snapping her fingers, butterflies started to appear around him.

"Take his soul." She commanded coldly.

Latching onto him, the butterflies started to chew away as teeth pierced them but each butterfly would split themselves into two whenever they were killed.

Soon, an illusionary image of the Ancient Terror could be seen as he tried to struggle but it was useless.

"Even if you kill this soul I won’t be dead! Do you know how many souls are in me?" The Ancient Terror laughed as Shiro knew that he was saying the truth.

"I’ll find each soul that has been tainted by you and seal them away one by one." Shiro grinned darkly as a green tether appeared on his soul and stretched to the corners of the world.

"Do you know what this tether represents? Any soul that has a scent of you. If I seal you within me and drag you to another world, I wonder if you can still awaken. Who knows, maybe I should seal you in this world and have you do your job for as long as I live. I’ve heard that gods are immortal so would you be sealed for all time?" Shiro smirked.

Before the Ancient Terror could say anything, his soul was sucked into her lantern.

Dropping it back into her shadow, she dismissed her True Spirit Nature before kneeling down with deep breaths. While this was happening, the Ancient Terror’s body shattered to ash.

’Just one of many huh? I need to deal with all the pieces of him or else he’ll keep appearing.’ Shiro thought with a frown as she remembered the feeling of when she first saw this beast. She had to deal with it quickly.

Dismissing the magical darkness that she had enveloped around them, she watched as Quella, Tricia and Beril ran toward her.

"Where is he?" Beril asked with a frown.

"This one is sealed but I need to find the others. If even one of the pieces of him survives then he’ll keep appearing. We need to go hunting for him." Shiro replied as Beril furrowed her brows.

"How many pieces of him are there?" She asked.

"I don’t know. But as long as the tether disappears, that means all of the souls have been sealed away." Shiro shook her head.

"I see... Should we tell this to Astryn and conduct another meeting?" Beril asked.

"No. It seems like some of the other heroes are also corrupted so we don’t want more pieces of the Ancient Terror together in the same place." Shiro shook her head.

Narrowing her eyes, she understood that it would be difficult to face off more than one copy of him so finding them one by one was the best choice.
