Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!
chapter-501

The Frozen Nova was much larger than Kaleb intended. It was around the size of a family house and froze everything it touched instantaneously. Upon crashing into the ground, Frozen Nova burst, releasing the frozen lava like liquid in all directions.

A chilly shockwave spread out in all directions, freezing the ground in a 100-meter radius. Some Awakened retreated instinctively, but some were struck by the chilly shockwave. It froze their clothes and bodies, turning them into statues and forcing them to close their eyes. They were fortunate that the Tekur died on the spot. None of them was able to escape, which was a relief. Otherwise, closing their eyes would have been the Awakened's death sentence.

After the Frozen Nova wreaked havoc, killing ten Tekur at once, the power balance all over the chaotic battlefield changed drastically. More Tekur diverted their focus to Kaleb, Michael, and the others, including the Elite Soldiers. They had yet to enter the battlefield since their focus had been on guarding their Healers and the strongest Supporters. However, now that an enemy capable of defeating 10 Tekur in an instant appeared, they decided to move out as well.

"Can y'all deal with the Elite Soldiers for five minutes? There is no need for you to kill them. Just…survive…" Michael asked, looking over to Lincoln and the others.

Kaleb was exhausted after he used Frozen Nova in such an extravagant way. His energy reserves were drained and his mental power was also used up considerably. Michael used Insert and transferred most of his energy into Kaleb. Thereafter, his reserves were refilled through the Dome of Extraction's high efficiency at absorbing the surrounding energy.

Michael used Insert with Enhancement on the people around him, only to notice Thaor, Lokai, Mekhaz, and a bunch of other Berserkers rushing to their aid. There were also a few Descendants, including Maria, joining their fight.

"I guess we can handle the Elite Soldiers for a short while. But I cannot promise that we will last five minutes. We have no idea how strong these obsidian freaks are, after all!" Zeke cursed quietly, but loud enough for Michael to hear.

"In that case, I'll join you," Quinn Karta said to Michael, "I guess you want to deal with their Healers and the stronger Supporters while the Elite Soldiers are busy beating them into pulps. Or am I mistaken?"

"Your guess is correct. Let's move then," Michael said, using Insert with Enhancement on Quinn Karta as well. He used six-layered Enhancement on Quinn, allowing the young man to gain a tremendous burst of strength. Michael then used Enhancement on himself and exerted Heavenly Beast Physique.

In the next moment, he shot to the left, brushing past Maria and the other Descendants to detach himself from the group without attracting too much attention. He moved through the rows of Alliance Members and appeared on the other side of the battlefield at once. Quinn Karta appeared next to him with a thin smile on his face.

"You're much stronger and useful than Zeke and the others said. I thought they were exaggerating, but it looks like they underestimated you," He said, his tone growing more serious as he added, "Not me. I won't underestimate you. Believe me."

Michael ignored Quinn's comment and dashed into the rows of enemies. The Aethyr blade manifested in his hands, taking on Tigerfang's shape. In the next moment, a silvery-white hue shrouded Aethyr Tigerfang. Enhanced Reinforced Sword Qi strengthened Aethyr enough to cut through the tough carapace without any problems. Michael and Quinn saw that happen as they emerged in front of three Tekur.

The Tekur had been killing several enemies in the last few minutes, using up their entire Soul Power. Therefore, they weren't able to use the full power of their Soultraits right off the bat. Michael and Quinn used this opportunity to take advantage of their momentary weakness. Michael's ridiculously strong physique allowed him to slash through two Tekur with a single strike, whereas Quinn unleashed the Dragon Mark Soultrait to further enhance his power. The marks of a dragon appeared all over his body. They changed Quinn's presence and elevated his combat prowess tremendously. Adding the six-layered Enhancement inserted by Michael and the fact that Quinn was currently using his Inheritance Technique, the Tekur opposite him had no chance of escaping the dragonfang-like daggers resting in his hands.

The three Tekur were dealt with, and Michael allowed the Dome of Extraction to devour the Tekur's SoulStar Fragments as they continued to move. It was only a matter of seconds before they reached the backlines of the Tekur. The backlines were filled with Tekur using long-range attacks, Healing Soultraits, or Soultrait that mainly focused on Supporting their allies or weakening their enemies.

Michael and Quinn barged into the group of enemies without hesitation. Michael appeared in front of them, charging at them like a bullet train, whereas Quinn Karta used Blink to teleport from one spot to another without delay. Michael manifested two Soul Glacicle Bullets and released them to pierce the chests of two Tekur. He spread the Dome of Extraction outward and used Insert on it, allowing dozens of Extraction tendrils to emerge out of the ground.

The Extraction tendrils pierced through the feet of the Tekur within the Dome of Extraction's range and inserted traces of Extraction inside them. The traces of Extraction took root in their bodies and began to leech on their origin energy. Michael then began to use Spiritual Domination on the enemies he'd faced. He cut them down one by one, relying on brute force and the tremendous potential of Heavenly Beast Physique, Enhancement, Spirit Eyes, and Extraction.

Michael was cut several times in the next two minutes, but he tended to the wounds by using the bits of power that had accumulated within the Shard of Archangel's Grace. Some of the blades used to cut Michael were coated in poison. The poison acted fast and would have rendered Michael incapable of continuing to fight within minutes. That would have been the case, under normal circumstances.

However, Michael was in possession of Extraction. He extracted the poison and used Insert to plunge it deep inside the bodies of the Tekur who'd poisoned him earlier.

Revenge was sweet.

But a not-so-sweet thing was the gory sight all around Michael. He didn't have a fancy Sword Style to rely on. Immortal Knight's Holy Sword Style didn't really fit well into his repertoire and fighting style. Therefore, Michael turned into a mad combatant, whose attention returned to focusing on his Soultraits and inflicting maximum damage to obliterate his enemies as quickly as possible.

This plan would have failed against the Tekur under normal circumstances. However, Michael was in possession of the memories of dozens of Tekur at this point. He was fully aware of what kind of techniques the masses of Tekur had been learning since they'd been promoted to Soldiers. Their techniques were deeply imprinted into his mind, therefore, granting him a tremendous advantage. He was fully aware of the movement sequences of the Tekur, the shortcomings of their techniques, and the special tactics they'd been taught from a young age. Their weak and strong points were deeply imprinted in Michael's mind, giving him exactly what he needed to fight and obliterate the Tekur in front of him.

Dozens of SoulStar Fragments entered his subconscious every second, but more than a quarter of that were used up rapidly to replenish his Soul Power, allowing him to use more and more Soul Glacicle Bullets in a short period. Simultaneously, his Heavenly Beast Physique could be maintained, generating just enough might for him to fight with the Tekur on par.

No. That was not correct either.

Michael utilized seven Soultraits in combat, using up a tremendous amount of origin energy every single second. His Soultraits were extremely potent with three being 6-Star Soultraits, and the rest being at 5-Stars. They enhanced each other and created just enough vitality to fight several Tekur even without the employ of the Soul Techniques he'd learned. And then there was the addition of humongous strength Michael obtained from a long-range elemental Soul Technique that could kill a Tekur with a single blow if applied properly and another Soul Technique that increased Michael's physical strength, agility, and reflexes by near to 200%.

He was the Grim Reaper on the battlefield. Wherever the Aethyr Blade passed by, blood would flow and heads would roll.

Quinn Karta saw what Michael was capable of and his eyes widened. He could clearly tell that Michael had yet to reach his limit as well. Michael had not yet learned about his Soultraits in-depth, and his comprehension of the Soul Techniques hadn't reached perfection either. In fact, Michael was far from reaching perfect mastery. He was just at the beginning!

Dozens of Tekur were killed by Michael in a matter of minutes, Meanwhile, all Quinn could do was watch as terror and despair surfaced on the Tekur's faces.

"I didn't expect this to happen," Quinn mumbled, clicking his tongue.

"I didn't really want this to happen."

Quinn Karta materialized behind Michael with Blink. His physique was still strengthened from Michael's Enhancement and the Mark of Dragon. Quinn produced a tremendous amount of Soul Energy all of a sudden and he activated his Elite Class Soul Technique, further empowering the powers of his 7-Star Soultrait, Mark of the Dragon.

"I'm sorry that this happens to you, but you're too dangerous to be left alive," Quinn mumbled, just barely loud enough for Michael to hear.

His head flicked back and he could instantly see the Soul Energy that surged through Quinn's body. The cogs in Michael's mind clicked and he ultimately understood.

"Traitor…" He mumbled while trying to change Aethyr into a sizable shield to block the incoming attacks.

However, it was already too late. Blood spurted through the air as the Soul Technique empowering Mark of the Dragon was unleashed.

In the following moment, Michael's arms flung through the air.

"You shouldn't have trusted High Society."
