Chapter 311 - Collapse of the Ladros City: [Soul Blood Mode]

The two seven-circle officers suddenly stopped rushing at Souta. They felt the atmosphere turned heavy and chilly so they couldn't help but observe the situation first. They were wary about the unknown and it's natural to be cautious about your opponent.

[Soul Blood Mode]!

Souta's eyes turned red as his earring emitted a dark light.

Ohm!

Hundreds of humanoid figures rose from the ground. Their bodies were ethereal and they were full of malice and hatred against living things. Sometimes they would disappear and sometimes they would appear in the place.

Their semi-transparent bodies were like swimming in the air like a fish on the pond.

Their ghastly voice was echoing in the surrounding area.

"What is this?!"

The two seven-circle officers were shocked when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe what they were seeing at this moment.

"What the hell is this technique?!"

"Don't tell me this is a soul?!"

Their eyes narrowed when they reached the conjecture that these ethereal figures full of resentment were souls.

"Is this guy know dark arts?!"

"A forbidden technique that is widely banned in the whole world!!"

Obstructing the natural law of the universe was forbidden. Most of the god-level powerhouses from ancient times banned such practice.

Souls heading to the soul realm to be reincarnated was a natural law. No one should prevent it. If someone tried to prevent it they will face the wrath of every powerhouse in this world, no, even people from other worlds would try to hunt down that person.

In the past, there's a tribe that was proficient in souls. Everyone was afraid of their powers as they took the souls of their enemies and put them in the place which they called hell. Those souls would suffer for eternity and they wouldn't be able to reincarnate.

Everyone was afraid of going to hell and suffer for eternity so they banded together and exterminate that tribe.

What everyone knew that that tribe has some survivors and they were laying low on another continent. Souta knew this as that tribe would appear in the expansion pack in the later version.

It was one of the parts that he enjoyed when it was still a game but now... It will become a disaster if that tribe appeared.

"Do you want to become the enemies of the whole universe?"

The seven-circle officer asked him. They were cautious. They weren't afraid to die but this person was different. If they died at the hands of this person, then they were done. They were going to lose their chance to be reborn.

They will become nonexistent.

They will simply disappear or serve as a subject for experiment for this vile person.

Also, he wasn't a part of any criminal organization yet he dared to practice such arts. Doesn't he fear what those righteous countries would do to him once they know that he was practicing soul technique?

"Of course not, but you leave me no choice but to use this skill," Souta replied as the souls around him twitched before they flew towards him.

Swoosh!

He gritted his teeth as the souls entered his body. Creepy voices that were filled with resentment echoed in the whole area and the two seven-circle officers couldn't help but shivered when they heard it.

"Argh!!"

Souta felt extreme pain as if countless needles were drilling inside his body. The souls roared as they turned into a power source as they flow through Souta's blood.

Veins emitting red light appeared around his body. It was thumping as if transferring power through his body.

Shhhhhh!!

The two seven-circle officers didn't dare to make a move. They didn't want to fight this kind of enemy. It's okay if they died at the hands of other people but this man... Damn! They can't lose their souls to this man.

"Ah~" Souta exhaled as he turned his head to the two seven-circle officers. He opened his mouth and said, "Let's continue the battle."

The two seven-circle officers subconsciously took a step back. Various images of humans and monsters overlapped Souta's figure. The same could be said to his voice. Different voices of humans and demis echoed.

It was terrifying to see and hear it. This was the first time they encounter something like this in their entire life.

They could fear it. Their souls were trembling in fear. Their souls were afraid.

'Saya, I'll leave my mana to you. Use it to create a barrier around this floating land. I'll focus myself on killing these guys.' Souta said to her as he tightened his muscles. The feelings of souls flowing in his blood were painful. He could feel their pain and hatred for him.

'Fine, I'll handle it. Also, make it quick. You wouldn't be able to use [Possession] again if you keep using it.' Saya replied to him.

As the barrier covered the entire land Souta heard a familiar faint voice calling his name.

Hmm...?

He turned around and looked in the direction of the battle below. He frowned as he felt something wrong happening on the ground.

'SOUTA!!!'

He came back to his senses when he heard Saya's loud voice. He didn't need to think about anything else. He should focus his attention on killing these people.

Swoosh!

Souta quickly zoomed the distance between him and the two seven-circle officers. The aura around him was ominous and vicious. His two opponents couldn't help but tremble when they saw it.

"We have no choice but to fight back!"

"If we don't want to die we have to fight!"

They said as they began to fight Souta. They launched a barrage of powerful punches at him.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta swiftly moved his body from side to side as he avoided their attacks before he gathered his energy in his sword and slashed it.

The souls flickered on the blade of his sword, glaring at the faces of his opponents. This [Crimson Moon] was much stronger than his usual [Crimson Moon]. This one had the power of souls in it that increased its firepower by two hundred percent.

Boom!

A huge energy blade flew out and the two seven-circle officers jumped to the side as they avoided the powerful lethal attack that could end their lives.

But they weren't Souta's true target.

They saw Souta's figure flashed in front of them.

Swoosh!

Randolf, Yuvn, and the other three seven-circle officers stopped moving as they turned their heads and saw a gigantic energy blade flying in their direction.

Yuvn frowned as his instincts were sending him signals that this energy blade was very dangerous. "Dodge!" He gave an order as he jumped backward to avoid the energy.

The other seven-circle officers jumped as they followed Yuvn's order. They also felt that this attack was dangerous and they couldn't afford to block it in their current condition.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Randolf looked at the energy blade and then at his opponents. He decided to take this chance to incapacitate one of them.

"It's better than nothing."

He slightly bent his knees and jumped towards his opponent. The blade of energy exploded and he stretched out his hand.

"I got you!"

He smiled as he grabbed the leg of his opponent but the spike energy from the explosion hit his side. He ignored it as he tightened his grip on the leg of his opponent and threw him on the ground.

Boom!

But then... He saw Souta's figure appeared flashed towards the seven-circle officer that he threw on the ground.

"What?!!"

Yuvn and the other seven-circle officers were stunned when they saw Souta appeared out of nowhere.

"First blood!"

Souta grinned as he arrived in front of the seven-circle officer on the ground and quickly slashed his sword.

Putchi!

The head of the officer flew into the sky with widely opened eyes. He couldn't believe that's it for him. A powerful person like him would die at the hands of a B-rank.

Swoosh!

Souta quickly turned around and stabbed the heart of the seven-circle officer using his sword.

*Ding!*

[You've gained 506,706 exp for defeating a Seven-circle officer!]

A system prompt sounded in his mind as he pulled out his sword. One kill. Five more left and this battle will reach its conclusion.

"You!!"

Yuvn and the other seven-circle officers were shocked. Everything happened so fast and they couldn't even react. When they came back to their senses, they realized that something was wrong with Souta's aura.

He hadn't felt this power in his entire life. It was something that put pressure on his body... No, he couldn't point it but then it hit him. His soul was trembling at the sight of such power.

It was as if he was starting at the embodiment of death.

"You-You know the forbidden soul art!!"

Souta turned around and looked at Yuvn. A semi-transparent figure was coming out of his body and it will quickly enter his body. Every second it will appear and it seems it was overlapping with his figure.

"You'll garner the wrath of every gods if a word of this got out," Yuvn said as he subconsciously took a step back.

"Well, there's no if for you as I'll kill all of you. You wouldn't be able to tell the tale about this power." Souta replied.

Yuvn glanced at Randolf and saw that he was shocked too. It seems that this guy didn't know about the soul arts. He then recalled that these two were enemies from the beginning.

"Hahaha!" Randolf laughed and said, "I know what you want to say but I don't care if Souta knew Soul arts or whatever it is called. This only makes it more interesting so don't think that I'll work with you to kill him. I'll fight him on my own and I don't need your help. But that's after all of you died."
