Chapter 849 Unique Ability: Soul Splitter
In the coming few days, whenever someone tried to test Lith, they were given a major blow by getting a vast majority of their riches taken away.
There was no way Lith was going to lose to the people of this world. He was a completely superior species in comparison to the Human race and also had a profound mastery in various martial arts.
A good beating was given to many and word about Lith spread like wildfire everywhere.
The number of stupid people who wanted to mess with Lith turned smaller in number and with this, some problems were fixed.
A week after King Nishkavert"s death, Lith finally was able to sit down and rest.
Most had stopped attacking him and learnt their lessons while the ones that still weren"t in the know of his strength and belonged to different kingdoms were taken care of by his maids.
Milia and Joselyn were strong warriors so they were sent out to take care of these people.
Meanwhile, Lith was now in his residential complex"s training building to fiddle around with the new unique ability he had accidentally gained.
It was rare to find a reincarnated soul and Lith was advised to kill one the moment he found them.
The reason for the kill was that they sometimes brought unique abilities with them which was really beneficial.
The chances to obtain an unique ability when killing a reincarnated soul was a hundred percent in Lith"s world. Why was that the case, Lith didn"t know.
Everywhere else though, the odds could not be predicted, thus it was a safe bet to just kill everyone that one could find.
Even though unique abilities weren"t everything, they gave a cultivator an edge over the rest of trained properly.
Lith could go undefeated in his own realm for a very long time with the usage of such abilities and skill sets. This was a big achievement and the reason why many craved for unique abilities.
Now that Lith got one, he wanted to see what it exactly was.
Checking into the system, the Soul Splitter ability was related to splitting souls as the name suggested.
It was not just limited to that, but could also be used to completely kill a person by just touching them.
Soul techniques were a deadly arts that weren"t available to the general public and heavily monopolized.
The art of totally killing somebody, ensuring that no resurrection or reincarnation happened, was a heavily demanded art that sold like hot cakes in Lith"s world.
People were crazy over wanting to get their hands on such arts, but alas, the general public would never really get a chance to do so, unless they did something really groundbreaking.
The Soul Splitter technique that Lith now possessed in his system was not just meant to split souls into two halves, but could also be used in various other deadly ways.
The first and foremost thing available in the arts was how to shatter one"s soul by simply touching them.
To perform this art, all one had to do was be of a higher realm the person in question or have their soul be of a much greater strength.
If such wasn"t the case, then to shatter or split the souls was difficult.
This unique ability was more of a channel that directed the right energy into the right path to get the thing done, rather than be a cheat that killed any soul Lith so wished to get killed.
The first art of killing someone by just touching was easy to know and Lith then skipped on the second one.
The second art was about splitting souls to split the egos of a person.
The ego and the soul were said to be connected together. If a part of the soul was damaged, then the linked ego may get damaged as well.
This could be used to split a person"s c.o.c.ky ego and make them fully submit, so Lith found it useful.
The third art was to split one"s own soul. This one Lith knew really well and Neo was a fine example of it.
Lith skipped it and jumped to the fourth one.
The fourth art was about giving something a soul and making it come alive. It could be anything from a simple rock to a dead person.
There were so many useful things in regards to this unique ability he had just gained. Lith happily spent the next whole week just going over this ability and once done, got up and stretched.
Lith left the training building and went to see his maid and also catch up on some sleep.
The maids were present in the house as always and sitting beside them, Lith began chatting over the administration related things.
There was a new joinee, which was Lydia, and the briefing was mostly done by her now.
Lydia stated that the nearby kingdoms had stopped attacking and the internal friction had been taken care of as well.
This was good news and Lith was about to rejoice when Lydia dropped a bombsh.e.l.l.
Lydia stated that there have been sightings of demons and several people had been missing.
Not to mention, something seems really off lately with many diseases being on the rise.
Food and water had also been contaminated in some areas and due to the lack of basic necessities, death cases have been on the rise.
Lith frowned upon hearing that and turning to Lydia, asked, "Are there Demons anywhere close? Like, a special Demon Continent or kingdom somewhere?"
Lydia shook her head and said, "Master, Demons had been a myth for a long time. n.o.body knows if they exist or not. The problems arising are probably due to our own people"s actions."
Well, as a matter of fact, Demons did exist. Lith wanted to say this, but refrained from doing so as ignorance was bliss sometimes.
Lith rubbed his chin and began thinking whether this was really a Demon invasion or just Humans being Humans and scaring fellow Humans.
If it was a Demon invasion, then there would be Demons in this world who were keeping a low profile.
Finding them could bring about some more clues as to who their organization was or who was making them do this and so on.
A bigger invasion could be stopped through this procedure and—
"Huh? Wait a minute…"
A sudden realization dawned on Lith. "A bigger invasion, invasion… Demon Invasion…"
Something finally clicked Lith.
"Was I summoned for the Demon Invasion? Was I summoned to protect this world from the Demons!?""
