Bro, I'm not an Undead!

“Kek…” Skullius murmured as he saw this particularly unexpected situation. At this point, even he could tell that he was probably being led on. Getting powered up through the souls, the enhancement to the two elements, getting [Pseudo Evil Veneration] and now this.

The idea he had gotten was that the darkness and light halos that showed from everyone was a way to show him that these guys were at the mercy of [Evil Darkness] and [Just Light]!

They were like a substitute of the yokes.

Though he had thought about it before, it was becoming more apparent. Even though all this wasn’t given to him on a silver platter, him simply giving it a hard try landed him great benefits.

The question still held though. To what end?

[Pre-existing conditions have allowed for the activation of the skill ‘Basic Evil Invasion’]

[Pre-existing conditions are allowing the challenger a chance to use ‘Basic Evil Invasion’ on a vastly stronger opponent for a limited amount of time]

[Time left until deactivation of skill… 59 seconds]

Skullius’ mind spun as he saw this notification.

Limited time…

This was definitely a perk. A limited one.

He had invaded the body of the man with black hair!

The sensation he felt right now was like no other.

The rushing of blood in his veins.

The twitching responses of his muscles when he willed it.

The vision from actual eyeballs that took in the world on a grander scale._.

It was all foreign but… vaguely familiar.

One thing was for certain though.

This Labyrinth really wanted him to advance but only when he made a conscious effort to discover and pry for answers!

Skullius looked at his real body that was in his grip and quickly turned to see the hundreds in the hall that were looking over in his direction warily.

‘Calm down! You don’t have to time to be shocked! Think! I have no time to waste. My skills and armour are currently being deconstructed… whatever that means… So…’

Skullius focused his vision on Remos.

‘I have to deal with him first but… status!’

“Oh my…” Skullius muttered as he looked at his status.

This was ridiculous. He couldn’t even see scroll through all the skills that he saw this body to actually have!

But…

‘Those stats… What the hell?’

“Hey… Eldris… is everything alright?” Remos asked with a frown, his eyes glowing with a thunderous light.

Skullius felt Remos’ mana output beginning to increase, the old man’s wheel beginning to turn as there was a large influx of mana powering it up!

‘He already knows doesn’t he?!’ Skullius thought as he unconsciously gulped. ‘I’ve already wasted 10 seconds! Here goes nothing!’

Skullius dropped his real body to the floor under the gazes of the many who watched on. It seemed like all of them knew that the man with the black hair, Eldris, wasn’t himself anymore, which confused Skullius, but only for a moment.

To all those that glared at him, they saw a black darkness with movements like flame leaking from Eldris’ eyes!

They were shocked by this sudden development as it hadn’t happened before and they hadn’t expected such a thing to happen after the revelation that this new challenger was actually an undead!

FWOOOSH!

Skullius in Eldris’ body leaned ahead as he then pushed himself forward with all his might!

Skullius felt a ridiculous surge of mana building up from the horrendously powerful core within him!

Just this simple action caused the air in the hall to thrum as he released his power to a great extent, his body vibrating a quick frequency!

As Skullius expected to move incredibly fast, reality tore down his naive expectations!

One step of his covered the nearly 100 meter distance between him and Remos in an instant!

Skullius was shocked to see himself before the old man who seemed to keep up with his movement despite what Skullius had expected!

‘This is…’

Time seemed to be moving slowly around him due to his speed but even then, Skullius saw several figures that seemed to be immune to this, dashing towards him with seasoned expressions of calm!

Two of these individuals were the man and woman who had been talking about Remos earlier.

Skullius adjusted his mind-set to the task, scrolling through his long list of skills and activating one he thought to be offensive from its name!

His thoughts were clear and very fast, transcending the norm when it came to time.

[Breaking Wind Demon Arts]!

As soon as the skill was cast, Skullius felt a powerful reaction from his body!

His muscles tensed up, veins protruding from his skin with a tinge of crimson running within them as he clenched his fist and breathed out hot air that made the air dance!

His body knew!

This body knew what to do!

Skullius’ thick right arm cocked backwards while his left pushed forward, dark crimson energies with jagged edges spiking from his body in an eager manner!

Remos frowned.

One of the sigils on his double wheel shone brightly as he activated another spell.

“Absolute Magic, Level Field,” he muttered.

Skullius threw his fist at the same time Remos cast his spell and for a moment, a fierce red light as well as a dominant blue one clashed to create a blinding flash of purple!

Half of the people in the hall were struck by a horrendous force that pushed them against the floor without mercy!

This was the remnants of the power of [Level Field] which was cast by Remos, a grand ability that would increase the gravitational force on a specific area!

Due to the clash, it only managed to affect the area outside his and Skullius’ radius!

The individuals who had been rushing to attack Skullius weren’t affected that much as the first one to arrive near the vicinity of the exchange was the curvaceous woman with navy blue hair.

The light resulting from the confrontation vanished, the image that appeared afterwards being that of a bright shield with countless dancing runes covering Remos protectively while Skullius was still in his striking pose, his arm releasing waves of devastating red energy!

‘Damn this old bro. He’s quick! I need something with more power. Also…’

Skullius took a quick glance at the woman with navy blue hair who had already reached close to him, her mana bubbling from her body and leaking out like stream that went on to form a solid shape!

GRRRRRRRAAARR!

A massive tiger appeared from the solidifying mana, growling with an raucous intensity!

Skullius’ eyes wondered to the figure of this creature with careful eyes, but he was not afraid!
