Soul and vital essence exploded out of him. His aura shook the sky. His enemies frowned realising the new growth in his strength.

Ved didn't waste a second and lunged at them turning into a colourful streak of light. His target, a muscular Arkhalam raised his shield to block.

Blue light covered the shield strengthening it defence but when his punch landed it wasn't able to handle it.

The shield cracked and the man's arms broke. The punch continued heading for his body but before it could land, his instincts warmed him, the holographic image of him dodged to the left.

He followed it and a dark purple beam of light passed through where he was. It was short from the Arkhalam's horn.

The beam turned and followed him, he dodged it again and it cut through the air heading for a group of elves.

One of the wood elves moved, a magic circle appeared in the air, this was the elves way of using more complicated magic.

Out of the circle came out a single leaf floating gently through the air. When the beam touched the leaf it was sucked inside and disappeared.

The elf was sweating and his breath was heavy. He glared at the Arkhalam with rage, their two races already had bad blood.

The Arkhalam just grinned. " ENOUGH." Shouted the leader of the Nephilim. The two races calmed down but still stole venomous glances at each other.

Ved watched this with amusement, he clicked his tongue when they didn't fight each other.

" He's more troublesome than we expected.' whispered Anku. " Indeed." Replied Ezarim, the leader of the Nephilim.

Abil sighed, " It is we who underestimated him, it was foolish to expect to take down a dragon while not going all out."

" Requiem of Stars: Dance of the night." The purple stars on his blue skin lit up. They started spinning as if dancing over his body.

The other two Ahnunaki followed suite. " Lineage of old: Descent of Charity." Ezarim activated his own innate ability.

As descendants of the angels, their innate abilities came from the seven virtues. His was of the temperance lineage.

Suddenly everybody heard a giggle. " Ah my poor nose." A woman with pitch black hair, two horns and raven like wings appeared out of thin air holding her nose like the air stunk while looking at the Nephilim.

Everybody including Ved frowned. He knew this race, he read about them, they were the enemies and opposite of the Nephilim.

While the Nephilim were descendants of angels, this race was the descendants of demons.

The devil race. " Oh my, are you the one my father sent me to check after, the new king?" Ved frowned.

" What are you doing here Lilith?" Ezarim asked. Lilith frowned. " Quiet I wasn't talking to you pigeon." Ezarim growled but kept quiet.

Nobody dared to move, Lilith was the youngest princess of the devil race, her father was one of the two sovereigns of their race.

And she was strong, Incredibly so. Even Ved could feel the terror of this woman. " Careful Ved, this woman is dangerous."

She looked around confused." Why'd you all stop, carry on, I'm not here to interfere, just to observe."

Then she flew off and watched from afar. Ved didn't take his eyes off her. This was the first time he saw somebody of divine grade besides Naledi.

Although hers felt lower, probably only low divine grade but still. Her being of the devil race made her more terrifying.

Nobody dared to move for a few seconds until an orc attacked him. Ved waved his hand and shattered the orcs cleaver.

Before anybody could react he turned and devoured the orc in one bite. Everybody heard Lilith's laugh.

The devil race loved chaos and conflicts, they relish at the death of others. Ved clapped his hands creating massive gales.

Everybody wondered what he was doing as winds of that level could not pose a threat to them.

Just as they were wondering they suddenly saw six heads fly through the air. Everybody watched with confusion wondering what was happening.

" There's something hidden in the winds." Shouted a winged woman with bird legs. Everybody realised they fell for his trap.

Strings bound the headless bodies and dragged them to his mouth. Just as he finished devouring them he was punched on the face.

His jaw cracked and his teeth flew out, he spun and swung his tail but his target dodged and kicked him from above.

Ved grimaced, he can the blue Ahnunaki's movements, Manas was telling him how to move but for reason his reaction was just slower.

He couldn't understand the reason why. He saw a white whip swinging towards him from a human woman.

He raised his hand to grab the whip but it just phased through him. He felt a stabbing pain on his soul.

Ved growled. ' Soul attack.' this was the first time he faced an attack that directly targets the soul ignoring his physical defense.

He had zero defence against an attack of this type. ' She has to go.' he made a decision and lunged towards her but a massive man with a shield blocked his path.

Ved punched the shield expecting the man to fly off but he stood firm. He was greatly surprised by this.

He didn't expect a human to match him in physical strength. ' No,I'm getting weaker.' he was certain now, it wasn't just his reaction that was getting slower.

This felt strangely similar to the hax he faced before but also different. He looked around for a witch and saw none.

Then his eyes landed on the Nephilim leader. His eyes were glowing with blinding white light as he looked at him.

Ved realised it was him who was doing this. He tried to use his will to remove whatever condition was placed on him but nothing worked.

While this was happening attacks landed on him from all sides. Wounds appeared faster than he can heal them.

Even his regeneration was slower. He gritted his teeth and tried to think of a solution but nothing came up.

" Kee kee." Lilith giggled. ' Charity, quite an annoying ability isn't it?' he heard her will transmission and frowned.

" She's right, you can't get rid of it, it will continuously share your power with everybody until you have none, the only option is to run or kill the caster."

Now that he looked closely, they were getting stronger but due to how many there were, the difference isn't huge. That was really bad new for him though, there was no way he can kill the Nephilim leader as he was.

Suddenly silver chains bound his body. Starlight gathered above him and turned into silver spikes.

They stabbed his body and immobilized him. He tried to struggle to no avail. Unable to move and continuously losing his power, he was like a fish on a chopping board.

He gave up, just as he was about to cancel the avatar trait the temperature suddenly dropped to a freezing point in a split second.

Lilith turned her head and looked far west. " Oh my, what's a monster like that doing here?"
