Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1143: Weathering The King's Wrath! (1)



It could not be overstated just how much of a role [Unbridled Wisdom of the Ascended

Nullmancer] played in Replicus' plan to survive the onslaught. As a skill that had the effects of [Epiphany] imbued within it, and had been evolved thrice as well, as a consequence of Class Reinforcement, the level of inspiration, protection and enlightenment it gave the Progeny was astounding.

[Unbridled Wisdom of the Ascended Nullmancer (Super) | Lv.1]

A brand of power that allows the user great purchase in understanding the nuances and infinitely minute details in every concept and every concept's application in order to form better, less vulnerable versions of these dissected powers; it then renders their obsolete counterparts useless against the Nullmancer.

-Passive-

-Without manifesting the Masterful Garb (which represents the commencement of the nullification of weaker and analysed powers), the user is capable of comprehending any application of an ability, weapon or concept at twenty-five times the norm as soon as an attack touches them. There is no charge for learning concepts below the Rule-Level. For Rule-Level Concepts and beyond, a discounted price in Null Life Essence is required.

+10,500,000 Mana with Absolute Conversion

+3,250,000 Null Life Essence

+1,550% Penetration Damage against all learned concepts applied by enemies -Active-

-As soon as the Nullmancer dons the Masterful Garb, all skills up to the high-level Super tier, even without being analysed, will deal minimal to no damage to the Nullmancer.

-All analysed and replicated skills and concepts will be emboldened and fed to the 'Access Cache'.

...

The passive effects of this skill had been livid within the Warmoth's Progeny ever since he had set foot on Edagon. The high degree of meticulous comprehension offered by the skill was how Replicus was able to master using [Null Extraction], quite like Caxellac, even implementing it in order to save his life.

This was also how Replicus was able to figure out the limits of all the skills and abilities within the Transcendent Grade weapon, the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow - the cap on how much a Divine Blessing he created could empower him, like he had just done along with many other stipulations the weapon had.

However, this was simply Replicus' most basic usage of the skill. He now started using it for something infinitely more complex.

The Warmoth's Progeny was not only attempting to use a Majestic Territory.

No. No, no, no, no.

The crazy son of a sockethole's socket was attempting to use three Majestic Territories all at once!

First, Replicus, after understanding what the last skill of the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow was Territory Reflection - had immediately activated it.

Territory Reflection was a skill that granted its user the ability to imprint a Territory on their body and use its basic effects without expelling it onto the outside world; it was essentially what Transcendent Stagers like Sause were capable of doing.

The same was happening to Replicus right now, and the Territory imprinted onto his body was, of course, Actuass' Deathward Maw!

On Replicus' ceramic, ebony skin, a dark green hue was suddenly slathered, the vague details of large, sharp, yellowing fangs visible from it. The images of large skeletons, looking as though they belonged to some fallen behemoths, showed as well and a crisp, overpowering sort of mist whipped out from the Warmoth's Progeny!

Replicus felt a surge of strength he had only felt once before; it was back when he had taken over the body of an Incandescent Stager back in the Labyrinth of the Yoke. All his abilities and attributes, were bolstered extravagantly (which was especially wonderful because the effects of the Body-Soul Coalescence had ended) and this only made him even more confident about another process he was running at the same time in order to produce two more Territories! The [Maximum Neutral] he had been using to shield himself against Caxellac's Serene Grace expanded out while being bathed in both Nitros and Null Life Essence. It then stripped itself from Replicus, however, and formed a large, thick, circular wall of neon purple-gold particles that had the texture of crystal and looked like one conjoined mass of thousands of them too! Strange dark shapes yearned to grow within the field inside the purple gold livid with two different kinds of energies, like some kind of plants that photosynthesised just by draining the two energies.

But of course, this was incomplete.

This was simply, a Dormant Territory.

In the dark gap that Replicus existed in within this giant, neon construct, which was roughly around six meters in radius, the Warmoth's Progeny took a deep breath, partitioned a vast quantity of his mana and used Reversion on it - Maximum Reversion, to be precise.

A blackish-grey mass towered over Replicus and smothered him.

Once more, he had called upon Inverted Mana!

He had two of his mana cores completely switch to housing this odd energy, and then he ran large volumes of Inverted Mana into two particular skills engrained in his body as delicately as he could before using Reversion on them as well!

With such intricate usage of Maximum Catalyst, Replicus made [Resource Vault] and [Sorcery of Essence]'s effects cater not towards mana, but Inverted Mana instead! It was indeed a

rather risky move!

But he wasn't done.

Replicus, nearly sweating, and his phantoms wrestling with the mountainous tasks he was carrying out, activated yet another one of his skills that had been empowered by his recent Class Reinforcement, [Mystic Macer]!

Formerly known as [Depths of the Core] before, a skill that allowed Replicus to improve the quality of his mana core, [Mystic Macer] was an atrocious upgrade that worked on all monoliths, storages of energy.

Unlike its previous capabilities, the skill was now able to improve the quality AND quantity of a core by a whole league with but a single usage, of which only two were allowed before the skill went on cooldown!

As though to demonstrate just what this meant, Replicus used [Mystic Macer] on his two dark cores, furiously bellowing with Inverted Mana and instantly, they became impressively dark, so much so that instead of issuing out a sombre light, they seemed to drain it, like black

holes!

By Aigas standards, these cores had just been upgraded to the coveted gold quality, but since they now bore Inverted Mana...

The blackish-grey mana that exploded from the cores was also subjected to a ridiculous increase in quantity; it was roughly fifteen times as much as before per core, which was about 125,000,000 units each (between his six mana cores, Replicus had previously owned only 50 million units of mana altogether).

'Perfect,' Replicus though as he looked at the distant figure of the Null Devil King's soul shining even brighter than before.

With his modified [Resource Vault] and [Inverted Sorcery of Essence], Replicus efficiently manipulated his huge pool of Inverted Mana into the gap within his hollow, Dormant Territory of Maximum Neutral...and it all coalesced to create a thick object, one akin to a shiny stone portrait of a huddled feminine figure with sharp details floating above Replicus' head!

This too was a Dormant Territory, yet to be imbued with a Primary, Secondary or Tertiary effect, but unlike the outer one, its effects would be expelled outward, quite like how the Ardent Curse Dander and the Sallow Face beast Beyrmir had possessed, had been able to do! Right as he finished constructing these two Territories, Replicus felt that Caxellac's third attack was coming.

The dark space riddled with threads of Rules was suddenly inhabited by a huge grotesque spiral of fleshy thorns that burst out of Caxellac's Serene Canvas. It expanded wide and wider with each second, as though to occupy the open space Caxellac had created!

As soon as it appeared, Replicus knew he couldn't tarry any longer.

Thus, he grabbed the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow and drew the string along its body with all

his might!
