Chapter 611 Phantom Purgatory! Instant Annihilation!
Chapter 611 Phantom Purgatory! Instant Annihilation!
compared to the silver spiders, these silver mantises were clearly more refined. their bodies seemed to be crafted from some kind of exotic liquid metal, and their compound eyes, glowing with a sinister red light, gave off an eerie feeling.
what set them apart the most, however, was the gray mist that had transformed into something resembling blood, slowly circulating through their bodies. when they attacked, this energy would manifest alongside their movements.
although they didn't appear as monstrous and aggressive as the silver spiders, they exuded a far more precise and lethal aura!
furthermore, when these silver mantises stood still, boris and the others couldn't sense any presence from them, as if they were nothing more than lifeless statues. their speed rivaled that of gods, and they possessed a bizarre energy that could pierce through divine power and divine authority laws. coupled with their almost imperceptible presence, these silver mantises quickly escalated in threat level in the minds of the gods.
confronting these several dozen silver mantises felt like facing a band of assassin gods—murderous intent filled the air!
after their first attack, however, the silver mantises did not continue their assault. they simply stood still, as though offering a warning.
if boris and the others dared to press on, they would undoubtedly face the full force of these creatures' violent assault!
boris and the others stood ready, their nerves on edge.
the master's orders must be carried out, even if it meant death, so...
"this is interesting... things are getting more and more intriguing," sterl's voice slowly sounded from the side.
"master!"
"master, be careful, these creatures are incredibly strange," boris and the others exclaimed as they saw sterl appear.
the moment they saw sterl, they all let out a long breath of relief. the tension and pressure in their hearts immediately eased.
in their minds, sterl was an all-powerful being. as long as their master took action, all crises and enemies would be wiped away without a trace.
after all, this was a being with the body of a third-class entity, one who had successfully trapped higher-tier divine authorities. a future ruler destined to be the lord of all gods and the master of all living things!
sterl wore an expression of mild amusement on his face, but inwardly, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
he hadn't actually wanted to intervene. however, the scope of the previous soul-shattering attack had been so vast that it had almost engulfed the entire venomous swamp hell.
at that moment, sterl had already exposed himself. when the silver mantises appeared, their killing intent was not only directed at boris and the others, but also at him, who had been hiding in the shadows. thus, even if he had concealed himself, it would have been meaningless. it was better to reveal himself now—at least this way, in the hearts of boris and the others, he could maintain the image of a powerful being.
as he looked at the silver mantises in front of him, sterl used soul insight and found something strange about their souls. their numbers were the same as the ordinary silver spiders, and they only possessed a single thread of soul, but the quality of that soul was extraordinarily high.
it was enough to make him feel the same kind of soul quality as the silver moon wolf god!
"could it be that the souls of these silver mantises are on the level of high-tier divine authority?" he thought, both astonished and intrigued. however, he knew that the only way to find out for sure was to test it.
previously, in order to remain hidden, he hadn't had the chance to test whether the soul devourer sphere could absorb their souls.
as for the threat posed by these silver mantises?
"30% soul energy drain per second is a bit excessive, but it seems not as bad as i imagined."
he took a few deep breaths, and the soul energy that had been depleted began to replenish at an astonishing rate.
within just a few seconds, all of the lost soul energy had been fully restored.
of course, this was thanks to his exceptionally high soul level and strength. he only used up 30% of his soul energy. the more soul energy he consumed, the slower it would be to recover. if he had drained 50% of his soul energy, even with his current recovery rate, it would have taken several minutes to replenish.
if he had depleted all of it, not only would his combat power have been severely weakened, but the recovery would have taken much longer—at least a day or two.
noticing this issue, sterl quietly kept a mental note. he could easily activate phantom purgatory for just one second at a time, then wait a few seconds before releasing it again.
this way, wouldn't he be able to wear down any enemy by relying on this feature!?
of course, the precondition was that the enemy didn't have a way to regenerate their soul, and that he wouldn't be killed outright during this process.
"not bad."
feeling the presence of dozens more puppets within the purgatory space, sterl realized that these puppets could serve not only as combatants but also be devoured by the soul devourer sphere under his control.
however, once devoured by the soul devourer sphere, they wouldn't be able to be revived.
the first time he used phantom purgatory, the results were even more overwhelming than he had anticipated. creatures like the silver mantis, with their formidable combat prowess but relatively weak souls, were essentially born to be their natural nemeses!
without souls, no matter how powerful their bodies, they were nothing but puppets.
of course, this was something the stronger beings were bound to be aware of. the more powerful the entity, the stronger their soul would be. as they grew stronger, they would have no weaknesses, becoming incredibly powerful and versatile beings.
but sterl wasn't worried about that. if the enemy's soul was strong, he would simply make his own soul even stronger.
as long as he was strong enough, even those legendary, all-powerful beings, who appeared flawless in every way, would seem like nothing more than mediocre beings in his eyes.
"let's test how the devouring and refining works."
with a flick of his thought, the soul devourer sphere appeared in his hand. he immediately pulled a silver mantis's soul from the purgatory space and placed it into the sphere.
unlike absorbing a soul, this time sterl didn't feel any backlash or impact at all.
he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and immediately began to activate the soul devourer sphere to begin the refining process.
sure enough, the soul devourer sphere began to rapidly refine the silver mantis's soul. even facing the terrifying soulforge fire, the silver mantis's soul showed no signs of resistance or struggle—it was simply and effortlessly consumed.
"is it over already?"
by the time the refining process was complete, sterl was still a bit taken aback. he hadn't expected that the soul refinement process would go by without any backlash. this was just too satisfying!
