Soulborne has a final transformation. In that form, They showcase their real might.
As the soulborne Grovul became angry at Aether, he unleashed his final form.
And the sky was full of dark clouds, It was his doing.
He wielded thunder. So he filled the sky with clouds to attack his enemies with lightning.
"Wha...What is happening?" Thalia asked in fear
"The soulborne is entering it's final form." Aether said
Roaaaar! Swissh! Swoooosh!
The Soulborne's spiritual pressure was rising. As it was about to enter its final form.
Dark eerie energy wrapped around its body, and its appearance began to change.
First, a crown of bones pierced through its head, forming sharp spikes.
Then, its gray skin turned green, and a long tail grew from its back.The tail looked like a dragon's tail, covered in rough scales.
Two short broken wings grew from its back, but in their condition, flying was impossible.
Its face slowly changed into something more human, with long white hair.
But the face was twisted and creepy. Yellow teeth stuck out, and its posture was crooked.
It was the most disgusting creature anyone could ever imagine.
On top of that, it gave off a horrible smell, like a rotting human body.
"Blegh"
"Aaaa bleh"
"Eekk cough blegh"
People all around were throwing up from the awful smell and its disgusting appearance.
Just then, a woman in a simple dress appeared in front of them and cast a wide-range magic spell.
As the spell spread, everyone inside the area smelled something fresh and pleasant. It was a spell to cancel the awful stench coming from the Soulborne.
"Kelly!" Thalia von Ravenfall called out to the woman.
She quickly knelt in front of Thalia and said
" lady Thalia, we need to leave this place."
Kelly was Thalia's personal maid. She had gone to speak with the village chief about something.
"...but why are you hurt, Kelly?" Thalia asked.
"There's an army of enemies at the entrance." Kelly replied. " And the Noctvain family's squad is fighting them now."
"....The Noctvain family?"
"Yes, my lady. We must leave quickly." Kelly urged.
Meanwhile,
'So the squad captain is fighting the undead… hmm.'
Aether felt a bit relieved. The squad captain was at the Transcendent Realm
In his past life, that man was the one who had killed the Soulborne.
Then, Aether looked at the Soulborne, who had just finished transforming and was now snickering.
' Activate Regeneration ' Aether gave an order to the System window.
Ding'
[ Activating Regeneration]
Fwooosh....
His bones were crushed, and his internal organs were badly damaged. But In an instant, all of it was healed. Not a single scratch remained on his body.
Aether possessed many powerful abilities. One of them was Regeneration, a skill that could quickly heal any injury.
He also had Super Regeneration, which could even regrow lost body parts.
He received these abilities when he was in space with his older brother, before his reincarnation.
After being reborn, the system window was with him from the moment of his birth, an incredibly overpowered gift from his brother.
Then Aether took out a bow and arrow from his system inventory and fired a powerful shot at the Soulborne.
The Soulborne caught the arrow mid-air and laughed.
"Do you think this measly arr..."
Boom
The arrow exploded in its hand.
Since Aether couldn't use magic himself, he used magic talismans to cast spells through his arrows.
This technique is called Magic Seal, or simply Talisman Magic.
It works by drawing small magic circles on a piece of paper. The paper is then placed on an object, like an arrow to activate the magic.
Then Aether shot another arrow, aiming at the Soulborne's leg. The Soulborne dodged and stepped back. But when the arrow hit the ground, its talisman tore and a sticky substance spread across the ground.
As a result the Soulborne's feet got stuck in the glue. It tried to break free, but it didn't work.
Aether then shot an arrow that turned into smoke.
After that, his bow turned to small particles and returned to his inventory. He then took out a sword from his system inventory.
Swoooosh
Aether charged at the Soulborne at full speed.
The Soulborne grew angry and with its monstrous strength, it broke free from the glue.
As smoke was surrounding the soulborne, thinking Aether was escaping. He also charged forward.
But as the Soulborne came out of the smoke, Aether was already waiting for it and he slashed at its head.
Seeing Aether's strike, the Soulborne quickly blocked it with both hands.
Crash!
But even with Aether's full power, the creature didn't budge an inch.
Aether then aimed for its belly, as it looked like a weak spot.
But just before his sword could land, a bolt of thunder shot down from the dark clouds and struck him.
Zzzzzap!
"Ekkkkk" blood flowed from Aether's Mouth as he endured.
* * *
At the same time, Thalia and her escorts were moving away from the battlefield. Just then, Thalia saw something unbelievable.
Aether's wounded body was instantly healed. Not only that he was summoning weapons out of thin air. And he wasn't even using a magic circle.
Thalia grew curious about Aether's technique, as she was a mage by blood.
She then stopped and ordered her escorts,
"Let's watch the fight from this distance."
"But lady Thalia, we need to get to safety. It's dangerous here." her personal maid warned.
"I also agree. young lady, your safety is top priority." Noah Bean, the escort captain said.
But Thalia's eyes stayed fixed on the battle between Aether and the soulborne.
Just then,
She saw a fight going on at the right side of the center.
The fighting near the village entrance had spread and reached the center.
From her high position, Thalia could see the clash clearly. But her eyes widened in shock when she saw the enemies.
"Those are..."
Her eyeballs began to shake rapidly. Her breathing grew heavy, and her whole body trembled like a pillar in a storm.
What shocked her so much was none other than the undead monsters.
Behind her, Thalia's personal maid clicked her tongue. She had hoped to get Thalia out of here before she saw them. But....
They were the same kind of undead that had attacked Thalia and her big brother in the past.
Thalia's eyes narrowed as she glared at her maid with anger.
She realized her maid had come from the village entrance earlier, where the undead were already attacking.
As she was wounded, she had fought them to reach Thalia… but she kept it hidden from her and was rushing her to get out of the village.
