It was about time to beat the shit out of the Savannah's Lords.
Michael, overflowing with rage and disgust, jumped through space and appeared above the nine Lords and their armies. He unleashed the True Extraction Domain after strengthening the Extraction Symbol with a Soul Tear and ten uses of Enhancement. The Extraction Aura and the Dome of Extraction merged, and swept through the surroundings, devouring everything in their path.
The Summons in his proximity stared into the sky where they found Michael hovering. They were about to attack Michael by throwing spears and firing arrows at him, but their weapons and armor sets were dismembered before they could do anything. As their weapons and armor sets were ripped apart by the tremendous power of True Extraction, their bodies suffered as well.
Their hair was extracted right before they were skinned alive.
The power of True Extraction infiltrated their bodies where they consumed their lifeforce and origin energy rapidly. Only Summons and Awakened at Tier-3 or above could repel the power of True Extraction temporarily. The remaining Summons and Awakened fell victim to the overwhelming power of 7-Star Extraction.
It was simply too powerful.
Michael accepted the origin energy and lifeforce that entered his body. He redirected the origin energy to expand the True Extraction Domain while inserting the excessive origin energy into the stronger Summons and Awakened around him. One of the Lords shrouded his body in darkness, creating a darkness armor that blocked the majority of True Extraction's power. He attacked Michael by conjuring and throwing several darkness spears at him.
The darkness spears threatened to impale and kill Michael, but his Spirit Eyes detected the projectiles' trajectory early enough to use Cosmic Stride. He changed his position and appeared behind the Darkness Lord, evading the darkness spears easily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Darkness Lord spun around, but Michael already touched him. A tremendous amount of lifeforce burst into the Darkness Lord's body. Michael didn't need that much lifeforce, but he allowed the True Extraction Domain to keep consuming lifeforce. The lifeforce consumed by True Extraction entered Michael's body, only to be redirected into the Darkness Lord.
At first, the amount of lifeforce was not much. However, as the True Extraction Domain consumed the lifeforce of more than 20,000 entities at the time, the lifeforce surging into Michael increased exponentially. The True Extraction Domain continued expanding and it was only a matter of time before the lifeforce of hundreds of thousands of entities entered his body at the time.
It may only be a fraction of their lifeforce at the time, but the quantity made the biggest difference.
Michael did not need that much lifeforce. He didn't have any use for the lifeforce as he didn't possess a Soultrait like Lokai's Life Conversion. However, that didn't mean the mountain of lifeforce was useless. He could always transfer it inside others, after all.
Lifeforce was never supposed to be deadly. Despite that, it was common knowledge that every vessel could only contain a certain amount of lifeforce before they would be overflowing with life. That was exactly what happened to the Darkness Lord.
Michael could have attacked the Darkness Lord with the Aethyr Blade after strengthening his body and weapons with the wide variety of Soultraits at his disposal. However, Michael had to get rid of the massive amount of lifeforce that threatened to break his body apart. He used Insert to flood the Darkness Lord with the warm energy that seemed to mend his wounds.
The Darkness Lord was ready to attack Michael, but his body froze for a moment as old, long-forgotten wounds seemed to heal on their own. He was shocked and confused, only to realize too late that his entire being was overflowing with energy.
The skin all over the Darkness Lord's body tore apart. Dark blood gushed forth like a fountain, yet the Darkness Lord didn't feel any pain. He barely sensed that the skin all over his body cracked and split open. The lifeforce flooding him was simply too nice. The Darkness Lord never felt so much pleasure before.
The darkness armor dispersed, revealing a bright smile as the Darkness Lord's body inflated. Michael's eyes widened in confusion and terror when he sensed what was about to happen. He stopped inserting lifeforce into the Darkness Lord and was about to kill him with the Aethyr Blade instead of stopping what was about to happen. Unfortunately, he was a second too late.
Michael barely managed to shroud his body in a thick hue of True Extraction when the Darkness Lord exploded. Shreds and pieces of the mighty Darkness Lord spurted in all directions, leaving the Darkness Lord's subordinates in shock.
Michael shuddered and told himself to never stay so close to someone overflowing with lifeforce.
Due to Spirit Eyes' perfect vision Michael had been forced to watch the faintest details of the Darkness Lord's death. It was not pleasant to look at. Even though Michael was overflowing with rage and disgust through the highly potent effect of the Cursed Seals, Michael couldn't believe that the Darkness Lord was smiling as he exploded.
It was terrifying, but Michael wasn't granted the luxury to take a break. He had to move on, otherwise, the other Lords and Higher Lifeforms would attack him.
Fortunately, there weren't many Higher Lifeforms. The army that had been deployed by the nine Lords had no more than 500,000 members. Merely 10% were Summons at the 3rd Tier. Most Tier-3 Summons and Awakened were at the Low or Mid rank as well. They didn't dare to face Michael head-on.
They couldn't approach him without getting dissected alive either. The True Extraction Domain was the strongest around Michael. Only Peak Tier-3 or Higher Lifeforms could touch him at this moment.
As for the rest, they were about to get sucked dry by the True Extraction Domain.
Everyone below Tier-3 died by being in the Domain's range of effect less than 30 seconds. That wouldn't be a major problem if the True Extraction Domain didn't expand rapidly.
Michael diverted his attention from inserting others with a massive amount of lifeforce to inserting his lifeforce into his origin energy. He fused lifeforce into his origin, altering its properties and strengthening it in some ways. The amount of lifeforce drained to alter origin energy was tremendous, but it was not like Michael lacked origin energy at this point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe altered his origin energy and infused life into it before sweeping it through the Elemental Spheres. He created attributed Soul Energy and manifested hundreds of Icicle Bullets using the respective Soul Technique.
The Icicle Bullets were firmer compared to before. Their shape was a lot additional stable and consistent. However, the majority apparent effect of the life-infused origin energy was that the Icicle Bullets' freezing mist seemed more alive.
That was not something Michael expected, but it came in handy.
Some Icicle Bullets pierced through the necks and throats of a handful of Tier-3 Summons, killing them in an instant, while other Icicle shattered in the target's faces, chests, and backs, unleashing the compressed freezing mist within the Icicle Bullets in an instant.
However, contrary to the norm, the freezing mist didn't spread in all directions to affect everything it touched. Instead, the freezing mist that was released near the targets' faces sought paths to invade the targets through their noses, eyes, ears, and mouths. The freezing mist released upon the chests and backs of the targets didn't act similar to that either. Instead of targeting the vital points of the targets, they searched for the targets' weakest points to weaken them even further.
If its armor was highly resilient, they targeted the seams and froze them, breaking down their defense to create additional openings for Michael to strike.
Michael was pleasantly surprised and decided to use his other elements to experiment with the life-infused origin energy. He knew that he wasn't going to use life-infused origin energy often, but it didn't hurt to know how to use it.
He created dozens of fireballs, wind blades, darkness spears, earth spikes, light bullets, water jets, and additional using life-
infused origin energy.
The elemental projectiles shot in all directions, killing hundreds of Tier-3 Summons and Awakened prior they could react.
'That is boring.' Michael noted, diverting his focus to the dozen Higher Lifeforms, who may actually pose a threat to him.
Or not.
