Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Moments ago…

The Limitless Body Null Demon Hound had been in the midst of killing its 59th Bulk Terror when it suddenly felt a tug from somewhere.

Its master was calling.

No.

It wasn’t just its master. It was a skill that its master was casting and in this very moment, a command flowed into its head.

At this same time, Red Rage who had just been knocked away by a punch from a Bulk Terror screeched to a halt in mid-air.

“Hmm?”

A mental message gave him a clear instruction, coming from Skullius.

‘Give me all your mana and Null Life Essence…’ the message said.

The two Apostles immediately complied, sending all their mana and Null Life Essence, even though Skullius didn’t need it all.

As a result, only that which was needed was taken as the rest remained with the two Apostles, something incredible back where the command for the need for mana and Null Life Essence had come from!

*

Present time…

Unbreakable and MaelStorm looked with surprised eyes to see a unique individual who stood with an air of abundant mana and confidence after coming out of the latest ridiculous attack without a scratch.

It was a tall individual, roughly 2,7 meters tall with a bulky build and a humanoid appearance.

He had a stern face with a standard masculine structure, above a button nose and ideal lips, two glowing sockets with extraordinarily bright whitish blue lights being seen instead of eyeballs.

Above his head, a brown hide with glowing symbols fashioned by the head of a wolf could be made out as it extended over to his broad shoulders that then cascaded down into bare large, muscular arms!

Around these arms, thick dark chains tightly wrapped around them from the wrist to the elbow, his bare chest having swollen chest pads and abs at the abdomen where a strange light constantly pulsed.

Another brown hide could be seen around his waist, complementing the pair of black tight metallic pants that he wore along with dark greaves with similarly dark chains around them as well.

This figure radiated visible waves of mana in a large radius, the air twisting with white swirls that surrounded him in his sturdy stance.

Who the heck was this?

Where had the skeleton gone?

What was this majestic figure who made the two powerhouses pause to take in his appearance?

Well…

~~~

The skill [Bringer of All] had finally been used!

The Null Life Class skill that had only been unlocked when Skullius had achieved Tier 1 in the Labyrinth had finally found a spot to shine!

(A/N: Refer to Ch.104).

With 5000 points of both mana and Null Life Essence, Skullius could combine himself with one of his Apostles using any non-Null Life skill as a base to create a variant of creatures known as a Bringer of All.

One of the countless possibilities of this skill was this current buff creature that had been formed.

Ogwulf the Limitless.

Its disposition was clearly different from both Skullius and his Apostle but it was the combination of both these two entities and all their abilities as well as features.

Ogwulf’s luminous sockets gazed at Unbreakable and the Galemonger before they turned to the bloody figure of the trembling and quivering Terian in this massive, perfectly carved out ditch.

He raised his large hand which was marred with thick, tough muscles which were not actually made of flesh but countless Unliving Threads with a sandy colour to imitate skin and formed a claw gesture!

Billows of thick bright mana coagulated around his wrist and fingers as he extended his hand towards Terian and then…

…!

Unbreakable was shocked to see a bright covering of mana envelop the old man and with an insanely quick motion, Terian was pulled over towards Ogwulf!

This was… Manakinesis!

An incredibly concise manipulation of mana to move objects at will using this energy!

Ogwulf set down Terian who was hardly aware of what was going on, what with him being at death’s door and all.

He wore a grin as his luminous eyes highlighted Terian’s body, crouching down to touch the man’s chest.

He opened his mouth, an eerily deep voice saturated with authority and nonchalance flushing out.

“Don’t die yet, old man. I have plans for you.”

An lively yet invisible energy gushed into Terian’s body from Ogwulf’s hand, healing all his fatal wounds in a single moment!

[Luminous Healing]!

The old man found his body, while mostly naked to be fully recovered!

His torn skin and profusely bleeding flesh had been healed, becoming as good as new!

Terian’s mouth went agape as he felt over himself but Ogwulf didn’t pay him any more attention.

He merely turned to Unbreakable who was gawking at what he had done in shock and did something else that gobsmacked everyone who was watching.

The Bringer of All suddenly turned into a stream of mana that shot over to right beside Unbreakable!

Was this Manamorphosis?!

The stream of mana, upon reaching the man rematerialized into Ogwulf who gave his languid and bright gaze to the dark-haired man before speaking in a commanding tone.

“Listen carefully, Freak bro. I won’t say this twice. When I say ‘Limbo’, attack that thing with everything you’ve got,” Ogwulf ordered.

“W…what?” Unbreakable couldn’t process this quite well after witnessing everything that he had just seen.

Ogwulf didn’t repeat himself however, as he went on extend his hand in the direction of the Galemonger that hurriedly clutched its hands, the rings of wind re-emerging around it.

The Bringer of All scoffed as he thought to himself, ‘What an idiot.’

“Limbo,” he said out loud while activating a skill at the same time. On he hadn’t used in a very long time.

[Static Limbo]!

A skill that trapped its targets at the corridor of life and death, the duration of this skill depending on the disparity of strength between the user and the target.

[You have activated the skill ‘Static Limbo’. The target has been afflicted by Serenity. Due to the level and Tier difference, effect lasts for 1 second]

1 second!

This not only showed how powerful the Galemonger was but also how powerful Ogwulf was to even have the skill work despite the gap in strength!

A hazy blue light that only Ogwulf could see wrapped around MaelStorm and in the next mini-moment, the Cluster beast was stuck in place while its eyes turned into a shade of light blue, its skin becoming grey!

It had been successfully afflicted!

Unbreakable noticed this change and the gears in his brain spun as he didn’t hesitate any further!

This was it right?

The purple eye behind the Galemonger continued to look this way and that as if it couldn’t believe what was happening but there was nothing it could do.

Unbreakable launched forward like a fleeting spirit and enacted once again his previous not-so-successful attack, an upward hook to the Galemonger’s head!

He struck with a little more power than last time to extend the damage while limiting his strength to not cause excessive destruction!

A rippling shockwave madly crashed against everything in the vicinity!

Unbreakable wasn’t done however, as he saw the Galemonger not giving any reaction except an unconscious pour of blood from behind its tentacles!

Whatever that bizarre man with the hide who called him a freak had done was too good of an opportunity to miss!

Unbreakable raised his hands and interlocked all ten of his fingers before bringing down his two hands to smash the Galemonger’s head in!

,ᴄᴏm BOOM!

As if one cataclysmic explosion of force wasn’t enough, a second one ensued!

Ogwulf transformed into a steam of mana once again as he rose up, the energy that formed him coalescing into a white outline of his face as he grinned!

“Good!” he called.

The Galemonger suddenly came back to its senses, its skin and eyes retaining their original colour as it then screeched in pain!

What was going on?!

What had happened to it?!

It looked utterly confused and so was the bulging eye behind it!

The Cluster beast saw Unbreakable before it fling another mad fist and it grew furious, its hand which had a glowing lining of cracks catching the man’s punch before it could reach!

Its slanted eyes glowed with rage as a sphere of rushing wind started to coalesce around it in an unnaturally bright hue!

Unbreakable recognised this immediately as he knew that danger was coming!

This again?!

This skill that had managed to damage him before!

If it was used several more times…

WAAA!

A bright flash lit from somewhere else, contesting with MaelStorm’s own skill activation!

What was this now?!

Another surprise?!

Before the Galemonger could cast its terrifying skill, it was interrupted!

The second flash of light, which was not wind but mana surrounded the entire space!

Both fighters turned to the source and found a grinning fully materialised Ogwulf who released this mass of mana!

“You know you want to!” Ogwulf bellowed as he glared at the Galemonger as if it was an idiot!

The creature as it saw the flood of mana felt its instincts kicking in forcibly!

All this mana.

Freely flowing in the air without any use!

What was stopping it from taking it all!

Having the energy teasing its skin like this… it couldn’t possibly resist!

Right then, the Cluster beast drew in a long breath, an unsettling wheeze echoing with the action as mana and air were drawn in!

“What an idiot!” Ogwulf yelled with a condescending guffaw, his hand raising as he activated another skill while completely disregarding its cost!

[Greatest Manamation]!
