BXBX NOVEL Chapter 410 Blake's Amazing Growth
"See? It wasn\'t so hard. I had to give them a little push." He said with a smile. "I have not been growing stronger these last decades for nothing."
His hand slowly began to change, as the skin over it began to peel off and turn into small dry particles, revealing the dry muscles surrounding the white bones, which also began to peel off. He smiled, looking at his skeletal hand.
"The transformation is almost complete…"
Within his chest, his Spirit Orb began to tremble, emitting large quantities of spiritual essence and death and phantasmal energy…
"After I devour a few more souls, I should be able to finally awaken my truest potential…"
Aside from his own Spirit Orb, a strange red jewel was incrusted in the middle of his thorax, emitting demonic energy across his body. Despite being a human such energy was not negatively affecting but accelerating his… "transformation".
However, although he felt confident on his victory, there was still something… tickling him off, and it wasn\'t his itchy dry and dead skin peeling off his bones.
He looked into the distance, noticing a group of brave warriors battling the horde of Undead trying to break through the barrier and destroy the walls of the village.
There was a young boy within them, leading his group of younglings.
Despite his age, this child had become rather well known to the cultists.
He was someone they had to eliminate, as his potential and strength were incredible.
Within his dry, old, and dead heart, he still felt a slight doubt… this child, despite looking young, was someone he couldn\'t underestimate.
Having lived for so long, he had already underestimated many, and paid the price.
Even if it was a kid, he wasn\'t going to underestimate anyone.
"If they\'re really coming here, then I shall add you to my horde as a reward for your bravery…"
…
A storm of black bones shredded into pieces of blood and flesh ten Giant Zombies in less than thirty seconds, as Blake tested his new capabilities. Those mere bones he had picked up from the Phantasmal Mimic ended becoming a rather useful temporary set of deadly weapons. They were sharpened by the Undead to be extremely deadly and were also incredibly sharp.
He had saved them inside the small space within his shadows through the Shadow Sneak Skill and brought them out when he wanted to test their lethality. A swarm of sharp objects that can easily shred flesh was certainly lethal.
"It works nicely…" Blake thought. "However, there are several things I have to take into consideration."
Blake had been analyzing the power of his [Shadow Manipulation] Skill and its Shadow Techniques since he began utilizing them. The power of [Shadow Domination] was interesting and held an incredible potential. It not only allowed him to use his shadows to "possess" inanimate objects, but also to control them as if it were Telekinesis.
However, how could he control hundreds of flying weapons without completely exhausting his MP? That\'s where the amazing ability of [Shadow Domination] shone the brightest. It only costed MP to initially infuse shadows into an inanimate object. However, after that was done Blake was free to utilize the item and even manipulate it through Telekinesis without spending a dime of MP!
However, there was also a limitation, his own mind. Although his mind was of a monstrous size to the point he could control a hundred projectiles at the same time, there was a limit, projectiles had to be light weighted or they would put too much pressure into his mind, and his limit was already all these bones around him, and his spear, and perhaps a few dozen more.
Although he couldn\'t simply take over the entire world using this Skill alone, it was still something commendably incredible. And he was going to use it to its full potential once he acquired or made more weapons for himself.
For now, these bones will do, and perhaps, the weapons the skeletons were holding as well!
Blake walked towards a Skeleton that was crushed into the floor, as he quickly imbued it with his Shadows with a smile. The Skeleton suddenly began to move, even without a phantasmal soul and its core shattered.
"Oh, so it works like this as well…"
Blake quickly realized the shadows became like a puppeteer strings, and he could move this skeleton as if it were alive. However, the pressure into his mind was rather severe, he probably cannot make a sizable army. Also, skeletons by themselves are frail, what made his bones lethal was the ability to fly as they pleased anywhere.
"Break."
CRASH!
However, with a single movement of his hands, the entire reanimated skeleton broke into pieces, as he quickly replaced the shattered bones he had with new and sharper ones, alongside covering the skeleton\'s rusted weapon with his [Shadow Domination], until the blade turned completely black.
Another of the powers of [Shadow Domination] was the ability to not only control "possessed" items, but also to enhance their strength, weight, sharpness, and so on, as if they were a buff to inanimate objects!
"GROAARRR!"
A furious Demonic Beast Gray Wolf suddenly jumped over Blake, but the boy remained still as he looked at the wolf approach, merely waving his hands sent an enormous quantity of bones towards the wolf, beginning to shred its entire body. The fur was hard and so were its muscles enhanced with demonic energy, but that was where his spear entered into action.
CLAAASH!
Using the enhancement of [Shadow Domination], Blake swiftly reached the wolf\'s head and pierced it through with his spear, absorbing the blood within the beast and at the same time filling his weapon\'s hunger.
"Another one down, eighty left."
