Bro, I'm not an Undead!

326 All Hail The Fulgurant Penetrator!

Terian was shocked.

He had just seen an unnerving development just now where an unknown giant of a man who exuded no presence at all had shown up only to disappear behind the many things that obstructed his sight.

This man had been astride a large beast which had suddenly stood on its hind feet and vanished from existence immediately after!

He had been torn about what to think but when his gaze had met that of this strange Knight, if he could call him that, he had received a nod.

'Is he a Stray Knight?' was Terian's first thought.

Up above, he had seen the golden figure that emitted golden flakes as it flew, trying to fling away the chunks of falling rock that remained after the burst of not-lightning eradicated two of the six.

Assuming that this golden figure was with the bulky man who set to do his own part, Terian decided that this was much needed help and withheld any further questions he had done until the problem had been dealt with.

Despite this decision, something kept gnawing at his brain however, but he ignored it for now.

For now, they were allies.

The old man then rose, the Hawk of Conflagration above him as he looked up.

Unbreakable's punch had saved the city, giving both time and fervour to all the human participants.

Even now, the man had just flown up to completely decimate another of the falling parts of the island completely as he prepared to take out another one.

'I should also help...' the old man said as he brought his hands together and conjured a spell that brought forth both his exquisite control of fire and his elegant hold over mana to create a giant shark that burst before his hands with a majestic golden-orange hue!

The heat it emitted instantly roasted the surroundings while giving out a bright light that turned the area he was in into daytime!

'Scorchborne Beast...'

The skill bloomed as Terian then directed the seemingly lively shark into the air where its flaming body bolted forward and collided with a falling mass the size of three, five storied buildings, obliterating it in a massive explosion of flame and light!

***

Skullius with his bulky armour rushed forward, his steps heavy but his movement relatively fast as streaks of blue Silentburn Levin trailed after him!

He traced his way towards the enemies that seemed to be chasing after life signatures as they sought out all the humans in the area!

Soon, the Penetrator had encountered his first of six enemies in a rather spacious street that still had more intact that most buildings where his [Elevated Mana Manipulation] could sense the presence of multiple cowering human figures.

One of the Bulk Terrors noticed him with its eager sight and dashed towards with vigour!

It flailed its tentacles as it burst with a speed that was far beyond what Skullius could effectively react to while two others followed after it!

'Let's have a taste...' Skullius said as he continued to spin the thick Chains of Damnation that hooked onto the Null Devil's Aegis of Damnation.

As the first Terror reached him with its horrific speed, it suddenly slowed down as it entered within a 2 meter of his radius as it squinted its eyes!

Its slimy skin started to sizzle as if burnt and its steps drew to a complete halt!

'Kek... That's right...' Skullius chuckled to himself.

A skill within the armour he donned wouldn't allow just anyone to reach his presence!

[The Forge!]

The skill which made all those who approached the armour experience a glimpse of the hellscape from which it was forged!

Skullius didn't waste time snickering as he then flung his chains towards the creature, wrapping it in the binds as it sizzled!

He then darted forward as he cocked his fist and smashed it into the creature's face as arcs of not lightning, but Silent Levin, the power which was constantly released from his Penetrator body struck the creature!

BOOM!

Surprisingly however...

Nothing happened at all!

Not a speck of damage registered on the creature's face to even indicate that he had hit it!

'Huh?! Even a punch isn't considered penetration damage?!' Skullius complained as he truly hoped that this would have worked to some degree!

Unfortunately for him, the other Terrors swiftly arrived and unlike the first, they didn't stop when they felt a mild roasting sensation over their skins!

...!

Skullius injected his mana into his spatial storage ring upon seeing the approaching creatures and summoned something he hadn't used in a while!

The Crystalline Hold!

A shield bought from Frock that he had upgraded with [Unbound]!

BAM!

One of the Terrors slammed into him with his mass prompting Skullius to fly off on impact!

The shield dented inwards, as was to be expected of a Uncommon+ item but it did its job, limiting the damage to the Penetrator.

The other Terror followed after the hurtling figure of the dark armoured Knight as it screeched with its tentacles both front and behind flailing madly!

'They are really fast!' Skullius thought as he gripped the Chains of Damnation and pulled, using the chained up Terror to reduce his momentum!

The moment he did, the other Terror that had been hot on his trail flung its fist at him, the Penetrator only seeing a blur before he was smashed in the chest and flung once more but with an even more devastating force that sent him twenty meters away!

The ground which hadn't even been touched in the process quaked from the power while glasses shattered from the impact!

Skullius rolled until he came to a stop, his armour looking dented and cracked from the punch to his chest.

'That one is Tier 6.... These things are really strong,' Skullius remarked to himself. 'Makes me feel like my Discount Human form has grown stronger than this form now.'

As a result of the activity going on in this street, many other Terrors had been drawn to action.

Soon, forty of them raced into the street as they blew up what had been an intact line of buildings yet to be sullied by destruction!

They all pushed against each other as they tore through towards Skullius' lonesome figure.

Such a perilous situation.

One was enough trouble but forty?!

How would a normal mercenary or Knight feel when faced with this?!

Instead of feeling despair however, Skullius' socket flames roared with zeal.

"That's it! Come my bros! Come and face your death!" Skullius called with a deep voice that caused those who were hidden within the remaining buildings to shudder.

As the creatures approached, Skullius injected mana into his spatial storage ring and out came a beautiful scroll!

Who said strength only referred to one's individual power?!

The All Eater scroll was unfurled once again!

~~~

[All Eater Scroll]

-Legendary-

A scroll created by an ancient group of mages who thought of cultivating their own magic to be a taboo towards their favoured Deity, Suzamete. They chose to master inscription of the highest order, in their years managing to create a sequence of runes that could store any form of attack at the Incandescent Stage and below.

-Special Effect-

Stored attacks are kept in Stagnant Space and released at the user's discretion at 10 times the speed and power with a 10% chance to incorporate any of the user's attributes or traits at the moment of release.

<Currently stored attacks - 2/2>

~~~

The scroll said to be able to hold any form of attack and release it with greater power!

The scroll lit up and Skullius injected his intent into it with a maniacal eagerness!

Since he now had an Apostle with the ability to shoot out energy beams, he could fully use this scroll now even though he would wonder why the description said it could store any form of attack when in his experience, physical attacks were impossible to store.

A bright red flashed from the scroll and with a ridiculous roar of power, a beam shot out with a staggering speed that rivalled the Terrors' ability to react!

Not only this however, as with the beam flashing out towards the tens of enemies, arcs of Silentburn Levin cascaded around it with a menacing effect that further amplified its power several fold!

VWUUUUP!!!!

The blast razed the entire street in a flashy show of might that demolished everything in Skullius' line of sight!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Skullius threw away the clacking of teeth as he emitted a genuine laugh that echoed through the night!

Power!

Power in his hand!

Molten rock and crumbling structures were left in the wake of his attack that reached dozens of meters away, taking the lives of most of the Terrors in his sight!

[You have killed (V) LV65 Bulk Terror...]

[You have killed (V) LV81 Bulk Terror...]

[You have fucking killed....]

Skullius watched the notifications stream in one after the other as after this, he tried his best to grin as he raised his hand, activating a certain skill.

[Null Extraction].

Streams of bright blue energy started to gush out the bodies of the Terrors he had killed even those that were a dozen meters away while the Penetrator remained still!

It was Null Life Essence!

But how...?

How was it possible for Skullius to do this?

Simple.

Because he had elevated his mana manipulation!

Just like the staff he had taken from the goblin in the Tremur which increased his range of [Null Extraction], his levelled up mana manipulation allowed him to accomplish the same feet as only now, he could do it without the staff.

The Essence of roughly thirty Terrors, 65 points each gushed into the Penetrator as the rest were still alive.

The Null lifeform emitted a content 'ah' as he looked at the twitching and crawling Terrors.

As for these, Skullius walked over to the beasts, pulling the others that were still barely alive to those that were struggling to stand with lost limbs.

After gathering them in one place, his sockets flared as he spoke in a chilling voice.

"Don't die yet bros... you have much to do..."

In the hands of the armoured Penetrator, a bright red flame flashed with an eerie intensity as it brought about a terrifying glow...!
