By the time Linley’s group once again entered the metallic lifeform and headed further into the Starmist Sea, the second leader of Knifeblade Island, ‘Dimon’, travelled by himself deep into the bottom of the Starmist Sea, arriving within a nameless gorge.
“Hmph. If it weren’t for the fact that my elder brother died while I myself am not aware of where the Lord Commander lives, how could you have ended up getting a share of the glory!”
Staring at the gorge, Dimon felt hatred in his heart.
And then, Dimon transformed into a shadow, easily passing through the nameless gorge. Within the gorge, there were some strange plant creatures at the bottom which were colorful to behold. Sometimes, a few oceanic magical beasts would even pop up at the bottom of the sea, but Dimon paid them no mind at all.
Moments later…
Dimon arrived at the gates to an underwater estate, located deep within the seabed gorge. There were two guards at each side of the gate.
“Halt!” One of the guards immediately barked.
Dimon laughed calmly. “What, you don’t even recognize me?” As he spoke, Dimon moved somewhat closer. The two guards only now began to laugh, one of them saying, “So it is second leader Lord Dimon of the Knifeblade Island.” Although that was how they spoke, clearly, they didn’t hold Dimon in much regard.
Although their strength wasn’t that great, their master was incredible.
“Go make a report to your master. I want to meet him. This is an important matter!” Dimon said seriously.
The two guards exchanged glances.
“It seems there really is an important matter. You can go make the report.”
The other guard said, “You can just wait here. I’ll go report this to our master.” As he spoke, he entered the estate. After a long while, the guard came out. “Lord Dimon, my master invites you. Please come with me!”
Dimon snorted inwardly. “Just because you are somewhat stronger than me!”
This estate was extremely large, and it was very luxuriously decorated. Moments later, Dimon arrived within the main hall. The entire main hall was surrounded by sculptures and all sorts of paintings, which seemed to be telling an ancient story. Dimon, in his heart, knew: “Hmph, these are all about the boastful affairs of himself, Ganmontin. So what if he’s gone to Purgatory. Such arrogance!”
Although he said this in his heart, Dimon was still rather envious.
“Dimon, where’s your elder brother, Acketts?” A calm voice came out from the front.
At the throne in the front of the main hall, a green-haired man whose forehead was covered with fish scales was seated, dressed in a green cloak with golden trimmings. The green-haired man’s eyes glowed with green light, and his lips had a violet tint. He himself gave off an extremely devilish aura.
“He died!” Dimon said sorrowfully.
“Acketts died?” The green-haired man immediately stood up in shock, then hurriedly asked, “How is that possible? Your elder brother was a Six Star Fiend who trained in the Elemental Laws of Water. His defense was the highest amongst our group. Who was capable of breaking his defense?”
“It was a black-haired man known as Lomio Bornesen!” Just mentioning this name caused Dimon to feel terror.
That day, the black-haired man’s body had transformed into countless bolts of flashing lightning in the sky and caused something akin to a Fogsea Storm. And then, with but one blade blow, he had killed Dimon’s elder brother.
“Lomio Bornesen?” The green-haired man on the throne frowned. “How come I’ve never heard of this person? What does he train in?”
“He trains in the Laws of Lightning.” Dimon said, “This person came to our Knifeblade Island, then transformed into countless bolts of lightning and caused something identical to a Fogsea Storm, creating an enormous lightning vortex above our Knifeblade Island. It was too terrifying!”
“There’s actually such an expert.”
The green-haired man frowned. “It seems I must go report this to the Lord Commander!”
And then, the green-haired man looked at Dimon. “Dimon, can it be that you’ve simply come to tell me about this?” The green-haired man had decided immediately in his heart that no matter what, he couldn’t make an enemy out of this Lomio Bornesen. Someone capable of killing Acketts in one blow was too terrifying.
“Lord Ganmontin!” Dimon’s face had a hint of a smile appear on it. “I’ve come to bring you some good news.”
“Speak.” Ganmontin said.
“Although I’ve never met the Lord Commander, I’ve heard my elder brother say that the Lord Commander had always been collecting some divine beasts with extremely powerful innate abilities, or talents who have mutated souls.” Dimon grinned as he spoke.
“Yes, there is such a thing.” Ganmontin said calmly.
“This time, although our Knifeblade Island was attacked, while I was fleeing, in the Starmist Sea, I actually encountered a talented Soul Mutate!” Dimon said hurriedly. “He’s definitely a Soul Mutate genius. I personally saw him use a combination of darkness-type divine power and light-type divine power!”
“What!”
Shocked, Ganmontin immediately stood up.
Soul Mutates were extremely rare. In addition, geniuses like them were extremely terrifying in the future!
For example, an expert who was Soul Mutate, upon reaching the Highgod level, just based on the fact that he had fused two different types of divine power, would have the strength of his attack increased tenfold! When a person used fused divine power, even if he used the same type of profound mystery, the power would be ten times that an ordinary person’s!
And in addition…only Soul Mutates were capable of fusing the profound mysteries of two different types of Elemental Laws!
For example, Learmonth had later merged the profound mysteries of the Elemental Laws of Fire as well as the Way of Destruction.
When profound mysteries belong to different types of Laws were fused, the power would be even greater by far than when two profound mysteries of the same type of Law was fused!
For example, if Linley’s ‘Throbbing Pulse of the World’ was capable of being fused with the ‘Dimensional Attack’ profound mystery of the Elemental Laws of the Wind, then the power…would be comparable to fusing three profound mysteries of the same type of Law!
If he also fused two types of divine power when using the attack, the power would increase tenfold yet again.
A Soul Mutate only had to fuse two different types of profound mysteries together, and his power would immediately become comparable to that of a Seven Star Fiend.
However, ordinary Highgods would have to fuse four profound mysteries to reach the Seven Star Fiend level!
“Where is he?” Ganmontin said hurriedly.
