"Thank you so much!" I said with fascination.


"It is nothing…! Now that we are partners, let"s slay them and bathe in their blood- NGH?!"


Suddenly, Invidia gave out a loud cry of pain, as if something was suddenly hurting him all from the depths of his body!


"Thank you so much for being such a dumba.s.s!" I laughed.


"W-What are you doing?!" Invidia immediately grew in despair.


I began using my Divine Aura and Phantasmal Aura in combination with my very soul, which I"ve earned the power of fusing with both auras, combining it with Health and Mana Drain to drain away Invidia"s powers the moment I touched him, grasping his enormous Soul!


FLUOOOs.h.!.+


"A-AGGH…! L-Let me go! You trickster!"


"Nope!"


He was way too stupid. Seriously, did he really believed that? I mean, I went all the way to attack my companions, but didn"t he realize I didn"t aimed to kill them at all? I knew that Luminous would defend them with a barrier, so I aimed at the walls that would break slowly, so everyone had time to evacuate and be able to survive. I know I went a bit too harsh in them until they actually believed I was switching sides, but that"s all part of the act.


"Let me go! You d.a.m.ned bug! Trickster!"


Invidia began to roar back at me with everything he had. I was already sucking away his energy happily, refilling the MP I spent in that "fake" Chaos Beam all while I was stopping his movements and weakening him with the Curses inflicted through the various eyes over my body.


Soul Eater, Divine Authority of Gluttony, Dao of Demise, Dao of Defiance, and the Dao of Fortune. All of these powers were coming in handy now, as I used them through the tentacle-hand I made out of my Divine Phantasmal Aura which I had tried to use to wield him.


"What"s wrong buddy, aren"t we friends? Give me a bit of your energy, I swear I am going to kill them!" I laughed, sucking away his energy as his entire phantasmal body began to grow smaller.


"AGGGH! Let go!"


Invidia quickly attempted to fight, his sword body tried to move and point at me, gathering energy and then firing a beam of chaos and blood right towards me. But this time, I had my mouth open, wide open.


CRUNCH!


I began devouring the beam, and managed to make it weaker. The attack was strong, however, throwing me away. However, I had yet to cut my connection with him as my phantasmal tendrils continued to entangle the handle of his body.


"LET GO!"


Invidia roared once more as I was munching at his soul, enormous demonic arms made out of his phantasmal aura began punching me from all directions, like meteors falling from all sides, my entire metallic body began to grow deformed. I was feeling pain all over me.


CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+ CLAs.h.!.+


"f.u.c.k…!"


SLAs.h.!.+


Suddenly, his blade slashed through my tentacles made of divine phantasmal aura, managing to finally cut down my connection to him. A second after, his entire body flew towards me and attempted to pierce through me at a fast speed!


FLAs.h.!.+


[Harden]! [Divine Authority of Humility]!


CRAAAAs.h.!.+


Unleas.h.i.+ng the combination of Harden to increase my defenses and then the Divine Authority of Humility, I generated a reinforced barrier protecting my deformed and covered in wounds body. The metallic sh.e.l.l I had was of no use against his attacks as I had already gotten several wounds that began to leak my liquid interior.


SPARK!


Sparks of lightning began to emerge from his blade attempting to pierce my barrier as I tried to resist his attack. The furious sword continued to infuse his raging aura into his blade, sharpening his sword and enchanting the attack power he held. He constantly tried to crack my barrier but there was no use, he was growing too weak due to my attacks- or so I thought.


"I"ll have to use the last technique that my Master taught to me…! Soul Destruction!"


"Soul what?!"


FLAAAAs.h.!.+


Suddenly, I felt as if the sword"s powers gathered within the tip of his blade, souls began to gather from all around the battlefield, flying into his body and fueling his strength.


He can manipulate souls just like that?!


Crack…!


I desperately tried to fight back, biting, attacking, unleas.h.i.+ng magic, and everything else I could. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d, however, was completely unmoved by my blows. His entire body was made out of some sort of divine material, most likely, giving him an incredible endurance!


CRAs.h.!.+


"There…!" He laughed.


SLAs.h.!.+


The moment he pierced through my barriers, the blade reached my body and then sliced right through me. The sword flew away, right from behind me, leaving an enormous hole. My entire sh.e.l.l began to slowly shatter, falling apart.


"Hahahaha! You"re done for! Not only your body, but your soul is fully shattered!" Invidia proclaimed.


His words came accompanied by the cry of a demon woman.


"GYYAAAAH…! INVIDIA, HELP ME!"


"What?! The envoy of the demons!"


Invidia flew to protect the woman my Ego weapons had been ganging on for these last ten minutes. The b.i.t.c.h was powerful, but ultimately, they finally managed to get through her, piercing through her entire body multiple times, making her agonizingly scream her last.


Apparently, she was an envoy of the demons, huh.


Invidia flew to protect her, but it was too late, she was already dead.


And with her death, came EXP before my HP were to reach zero.

As my consciousness was fading away, three options emerged before my sight. It felt as if I wasn"t even looking at them though, but they were there. Is this what the Soul Book is all about?
