[MASTER!!!]
Kayla's worried voice rang out as she tried to rush to Evan's side, but the Pegasus spirit landed on the floor in front of her and spoke.
[Calm yourself, E-!, Lady Kayla.]
The girl glared at the Pegasus and it hurriedly corrected the title it wanted to use in referring to her. Cold sweat dripped down its back as it spoke of the battle's verdict.
[Your Master, has already Won.]
The Pegasus was only passing on a message that 'Aidos' had told it to pass to Kayla, and the 'lightning' spirit understood why it declared Evan's victory in the next moment.
Silverwing glared at Evan with bloodied eyes, about to absorb the essence of Ice in the surroundings and the multicoloured ambient energy to use in attacking Evan.
It could not care less about its body as it was going to heal eventually, it just wanted Evan to be dead by then.
However, when it saw Evan's smug grin despite the blood leaking through his lips and the trail of blood dropping from his eyes, Silverwing felt a very ominous premonition.
And the words Evan uttered next confirmed that Premonition.
"Harbinger of Ice."
A wave of golden icy aura burst out from Evan's very being, reducing the already low ambient temperature in the surroundings.
The power of raw frozen elements was harnessed into a concentrated sphere of frigid energy that floated above Evan's head.
Seeing this, Silverwing finally understood.
It finally understood the reason why it sensed a greater threat from Evan than it did from Eliza, despite the fact that they were both using World Law powers that could hurt its soul; the threat of that damned World Law Doctrine of Mimicry.
The essence of destruction's crimson red seeped into the ice sphere above Evan's head, and the boy's lips parted as he calmly called the name of the Ultimate technique that the in-game Silverwing had used on him.
"Glacial Annihilation."
The sphere of frigid negative energy was unleashed, engulfing the surrounding area in a crimson-red blizzard of swirling frost.
[You copycat son of a-!]
Silverwing never got to finish its words as its whole body was swallowed by the freezing winds and razor-sharp ice shards that obliterated everything in their path.
Although it had a nigh-immortal body, it was futile if its soul was 'killed', and Evan's Glacial Annihilation did just that.
Silverwing was dead as could be.
|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered.
|Isolating the Energy absorbed from Level ??? Existence; Silverwing: Ice Variant|
Ice Variant!
The Silverwing that they had just defeated, was just one Variant.
This was a foreshadowing of the fact that there existed other variants somewhere else on Aidos.
As for the reason why its level was just three question marks; let's just say Silverwing was an Irregular existence that the Devour Class System on Aidos could not fully compute.
In other words, Silverwing was not an Irregular on the same level as Evan and Abigail.
Silverwing's Irregular 'Grade', was a step higher than theirs.
|Enormous amount of 'Experience' absorbed. |
|Adaptive Evolution is analysing Silverwing: Ice Variant…. |
|Completed|
|Analysis Result: Racial Factor Incompatibility. Cannot be used as Evolution Catalyst. |
|Recalculating absorbed 'experience'…. |
|Allocating portions of Isolated Energy to replenish Consumed 'Authorities'. |
|60% of Isolated energy would be used as 'Experience' for increasing Host's level at a later date|
|Channelling remaining Energy into Unique Skill: Adaptive Evolution. |
Evan stared at the notifications with an empty gaze before dismissing them and turning back to where his companions were.
All the spirits, creatures of the Underground Cove's lake and Hydran's Subordinates, all parted ways for him as he casually made his way over to Eliza.
The level-ups the blonde teenager had gotten from Silverwing's death left her dumbfounded. She had never expected to level up this much at her stage.
It was common sense that levelling up became slower the higher you went, the experience needed was higher, and one needed to care about their Existence Level more than just their main level.
But here she was, just casually increasing by more than 30 levels in one go.
Her existence level had also bumped up to the intermediate stage of the grandmaster level.
The same was the case for Milena too.
The level-ups helped Eliza recover some of her strength as she wiped off the dried blood on her lips and got to her feet.
Taking deep heavy breaths to calm herself, she absorbed normal life essence into her body to heal her internal wounds.
As she increased to Existence Level Stage, her soul strength become stronger, as such, the burden on her title and her skills was reduced.
Due to this, the Law of Causality pulled back its ensnaring chains…for now.
Although Eliza could not see it, the Legendary Level existences who could control the power of the world law doctrines could see 'it'.
They could see how the space behind Eliza had been ripped open, and golden chains constructed solely of the law of causality and some other energy that they were not qualified to sense, slowly seeped into Aidos.
The chains of causality had already begun wrapping around Eliza slowly, and if Eliza had strained her soul any more and forced herself to use the law doctrine of Life again, those chains would have tightened.
But since she got stronger and the burden reduced, the chains slowly unfurled around her arms and retreated back into the void.
The space then slowly closed up like nothing happened.
Seeing this, all of Hydran's subordinates were shocked out of their wits.
And then, they were now more shocked, partially scared, of Evan.
The reason was the last attack Evan used; Glacial Annihilation, was not an attack with just the Harbinger skill, but traces of the true powers of the Laws of Ice and Destruction had seeped in.
This was part of the reason Silverwing died with a single Glacial Annihilation, as it would have normally taken Evan at least two to kill Silverwing.
Despite the fact that Evan also did the same thing as Eliza, there were no causality fluctuations around him.
It was as if the law of Causality was ignoring what Evan was doing.
Kuro could also 'see' the law of causality's actions, and he knew it was because of Evan's Irregular title.
There were a few other reasons but those were unnecessary at the moment.
Evan walked up to Eliza who was struggling to remain standing, helped her, and then silently pulled her into a tight hug.
He had the urge to kiss her but there were still bloody broken bones and organ fragments in his mouth, so he refrained from doing so.
Eliza was slightly startled, but she also reciprocated the hug, silently wrapping her arms around Evan and patting his back lightly.
Within less than ten seconds, Eliza noticed that Evan's breaths had turned even.
A wry smile appeared on Eliza's face as she spoke out loud.
"Seriously, again?"
