Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 472 Resisting Arrest!

(A/N: Bonus Chapter).

"BREAK."

Skullius said with a gleeful yet commanding voice as his invasive hold over the mana around gripped the cores of every living thing in his range which covered the entire small settlement he had just landed in.

PWAAAPWAAPWAAPWAA!

The expected noise came as the mana cores of thousands of Fire Breeders exploded, those that were within the dome shaped houses, those that were outside walking about, those that were casually flying in the air and those that had begun to rush over to him as he appeared...

ALL OF THEM had their mana cores shattered!

Horrific noises sounded with a blood curdling tune of chaos, Skullius feeling his bones quiver from this in excitement as millions upon millions of Experience points were funnelled into him, level up notifications rushing in his view!

The Penetrator raised his hand at the same time as he absorbed the Null Life Essence which quickly filled his Essence bar!

"Perfect," Skullius said as he then used [Greater Mana Crafter] to pull on the mana from exploding mana cores, rivers of bright mana flowing towards him only to be compressed into six small orbs that shone so much brighter than the first he had floating around his mana core!

Skullius pushed them to orbit around his mana core as well and looked around in satisfaction.

"Ferex. Make sure to absorb all the Null Life Essence you can to," Skullius gave the order and set to move on to scout around when...

BAAAM!!

The Penetrator was bashed by a speeding tall figure, his bones shattering as he blasted past the houses and into the forest at an insane speed!

...!

Ferex and Yuyui who had been by his side did not even see the hurtling figure before their attention was drawn to the flaming trees in the distance that had parted with a gouged track through the ground where Skullius had flown through!

"Master!" Yuyui called in horror.

Fragments of the Penetrator's body could be spotted on the ground and this to her, didn't spell anything good!

Before the two, the culprit behind their master's flight floated in mid-air as it turned to them.

It was flying with its large wings that had a span of roughly three meters, its frame that was almost nearly the same measurement looking swollen with tough scales that sparkled with a light red hue over bulged muscles!

Two curved horns that hissed with a searing heat could be spotted on its forehead along with a chestplate that carried the same characteristics while releasing billows of smoke!

Ferex and Yuyui could tell, this was a different kind of Fire Breeder!

It wasn't weak at all!

Unfortunately for them, there wasn't one of it but three and this one merely grunted with a vicious expression before it stormed at an astounding speed towards where it had sent Skullius flying, the others descending down to the Apostle and Pinnacle Occuluthon!

At the same time that this was happening, Skullius pushed his body to stand.

"Well... I was pretty careless that time..." he said with a self-mocking tone and a chuckle. "I got a little too lost in the moment that I didn't notice that guy coming."

The Penetrator's tall frame was fractured heavily.

His rib cage had six of the ribs torn away while the rest were cracked, his skull being chipped on the right side.

All this was after his natural 50% damage negation had kicked in to relieve him of the additional stress that would have probably killed him.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.10 if you have forgotten).

What a thrill!

Skullius immediately sent a mental message to Ferex before he prepared his next move.

Unlike last time, with his [Koten Machi] which was infused with [Greater Mana Crafter], he sensed the zigzagging presence that blasted towards him.

"Come on!" the Penetrator said with excitement.

He could have died.

He could die.

But so what?!

Escaping death was what made one stronger!

It was the thrill of life!

No!

The thrill of Null Life!

The Fire Breeder that had knocked him this distance zipped through the air and came to a halt a few meters above Skullius.

It wore a vengeful expression as it quickly stretched out its hand, a bright orange flare in the shape of a pole lightning up within its palm!

It wasn't light, but flaming magma that hardened into a black spear full of glowing red cracks, orange-pink sputters of flame flicking from its surface!

The Fire Breeder hurled the spear towards Skullius faster than he could manipulate the mana around him, the object whizzing through the air to accurately smash into Skullius' chest and explode as it released a mass of boiling lava and flame!

BOOOOOM!

An area of a hundred plus meters was instantly levelled by the explosion of flame and consumed by the magma!

The Penetrator's body buckled under the crippling pressure as wide volumes of the hot porridge smothered him, immediately beginning to melt his body along with fumes and flames!

A hissing shockwave that blew out gave the scene a more devastating image, spelling the approaching doom of the Pene—

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH! BRO, THAT WAS DANGEROUS!" Skullius' voice spawned from the searing goop along with four luminous lights that showed from its orange hue!

A melting arm jutted from the lava hurriedly made a claw gesture, the activation of [Greater Mana Crafter] ensuing!

OOOOOM!

Every tree and shrub in the vicinity arched down as if in a bow as the ferocious wave of atmospheric mana was borne down, creating an outrageous downward force that pulled on the Fire Breeder suspended in the air!

The creature gritted its teeth as mana pooled around it with a heavy grip, dragging it to the ground with astounding weight!

PUUUU!

The Fire Breeder created a shockwave with its harsh, involuntary landing and as it quickly struggled to stand....

In the dark sky, a thick cloud appeared directly over the creature while it frothed from the mouth, slowly getting a grip!

Then...

Silent.

Serenely.

Luminously.

A thick bolt of Silentburn Levin shot down rapidly, its mass that carried hundreds of smaller bolts wriggling around it smashing hard into the downed Fire Breeder!

A bright light shone over the body of the creature, with a burst of noise and dust rising up!

This was the Penetrator exclusive skill [Fulgurous Space Virulence]!

In the crater that remained, the Fire Breeder, grunted in pain, but... there was barely any damage to its body!

At first it rejoiced while looking at Skullius' melting body with a mocking grin!

None of Skullius' racial skills in this form had been levelled up to the point that they could do damage to a Tier 5 Cluster beast like this and none had evolved either.

But Skullius wasn't aiming for normal damage.

The Fire Breeder wrestled to break free from Skullius' grip, in its red eyes a fervent desire to escape this and kill him brutally if it was at possible!

However, a dreadful sense of weakness suddenly oozed within its flesh as slowly, its hostile and riled up emotion was overtaken by a calmness that made it take in deep breaths at lengthy intervals.

Huff.

Huff.

Its will to fight was being stripped away and death was creeping in the most unthreatening way possible!

This was Serenity damage!

"Heh!" Skullius who was in the midst of melting laughed as he activated another skill from his racial cache!

[Silent Revelation of the Bright King]!

Numerous sparks of Silentburn Levin, thirty two in number, along with a dark thundercloud, immediately appeared around the lump of lava that was devouring him and shot large bursts of the Silent lightning into it!

The Levin stormed through the lump and struck Skullius' body in a flashy display, recovering the bones of the Penetrator!

A second later Skullius blew through the lump of lava as he dashed towards his downed enemy and grasped his head!

"BREAK!"

The Fire Breeder's mana core burst and with a screech of pain, the creature died.

This bastard.

Skullius had learnt the hard way when manipulating the mana around that casually breaking its core from a distance wasn't that easy like with the fodder.

It made sense considering his skill was still new though.

The Penetrator turned his head as he felt another immense threat, but it was too late!

VWOOOBOOOM!

Like a dark, darting arrow, Skullius was once again nabbed from the scene, but this time, he wasn't smashed into!

He was carried!

One of the two Fire Breeder's that had remained behind streaked and tore through the vast distance to a far away destination with Skullius!

The Penetrator grunted and was about to invoke the wrath of [Greater Mana Crafter] when the Fire Breeder suddenly tossed him into the air!

Skullius spun through the air unsteadily as he bolted through the empty mass!

'Heh! This guy was able to sense that I was about to use my skill. That's clever, I guess. Just like the other one, it's hard for me to break his core from a distance too... This will be tricky,' Skullius thought.

The wind blew against the Nullmancer as he spun, but with his ability to sense the mana in a vast radius which was even larger than [Koten Machi]'s, he somewhat accurately sensed around him.

A massive settlement that was much larger than the last could be seen, like a vast town with these dome shaped houses!

Skullius sensed the mana cores of over fifty thousand Fire Breeders, and some of them were really strong!

Some of the stronger ones with larger bodies and big horns had already begun to fly in his direction, multiple bursts of powerful energy storming his way.

Tens of Tier 5s and 6s were coming for him!

They rate of mobilising was atrociously fast!

FWWOOOP! BAMM!

The Fire Breeder that had dragged Skullius high up flew up to him and gave him a good whack, shattering some of his bones with blistering heat that glowed over its body as it sped past in the air!

Then again!

And again!

Skullius couldn't even react.

But he wasn't brought to despair!

The numerous points of blue Levin from [Silent Revelation of the Bright King] circled around him as they shot bolts of energy to recover his body!

"You brought me to a place with stronger allies and many more fodder to kill, huh? Good! You've just doomed every one of them!" Skullius said with his sockets flaring like fuelled lanterns!

The Elimparidis Stone Staff appeared in his hand and with but a thought...

WHUP!

​ WHUP!

WHUP!

Skullius used three charges of [Jump] in succession as he rose higher and higher into the air, the image of his enemies and the large settlement with large clusters of domes within becoming smaller!

The wind caused the Nullmancer's socket flames to dance.

The mana was thick, allowing him to feel omnipotent.

The odds were against him power and number-wise.

But the Penetrator couldn't be happier!

"Let's get creative then. It's time to use these," Skullius said while pulling on the seven orbs of mana rotating around his mana core...
