Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1259: The Order Welcomes A Worthy Master! (3)

The Hybrid Warmoth retained a humanoid body. It had the height of the average human adult, if only slightly taller.

Skullius smiled.

His body was thin, but extremely well-defined. Each of his four arms looked rather intimidating, and the topmost two bore his ever-trusty Ju`wtta glowing in a vibrant merigold hue mixed in with a brass tone.

Skullius' skin was of a smooth, coin-grey colour, shining like ceramic material. Complicated rings of cobalt blue ran under his skin like veins. They were especially prevalent over his bare chest.

This was the effect of the Immortal World Physique, Audacious Chassis of the Ninth Filament. Despite the blue tone to his skin, Skullius looked a bit like well-made doll. His face looked a bit more mature, with a button nose, slightly sunken cheeks and narrow, blank eyes. Above these eyes were what looked like eyebrows, but with a closer look, it became clear that they were eyelashes - strange, small eyelashes curved at an acute angle and slightly protruding forward.

Over Skullius' head, medium length honey-coloured hair with streaks of vibrant auburn at the sides, could be seen. It was rather shiny, as though jelled, and slicked-black. Traces of merigold Ju`wtte ran through it.

"What do you think?" a phantom suddenly asked Skullius.

Skullius pondered. freewebnøvel.com

"A bit basic, but it's fine. The default body is not supposed to be bombastic, is it?"

The phantoms chuckled like madmen in the background.

"Well, let's at least put on some pants," one of them said.

Skullius chortled.

Right. He was naked.

"Curious. I have access to my Andori even in this form," he said.

And indeed. Unlike his skills, which were branded to his body, his Andori existed in the space between his body and soul: his Broader Existence. This meant either of his states of existence - soul and body - could access and use the Andori.

Thus, Skullius flicked his finger as he activated [King of Severing Twilight: AfterDark] and he felt an insignificant portion of his Amras get consumed.

'It feels weird for this skill to now have essence requirements for the simplest thing,' Skullius thought, a bit annoyed.

Over his Hybrid Warmoth body, a pair of loose, obsidian pants appeared, flame-like darkness blazing on their edges.

The guidance field reemerged with more notifications right then.

[The Fourth Sage Tier Andori, 'Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus' awakens!]

As the notification chimed, a massive lead-grey cloud exploded from Skullius' body and engulfed him.

It looked soft, but extremely dangerous, somehow. Again, Skullius felt a bit of his Amras get expended as the cloud emerged, but that did not concern him. He understood the ins and outs of this Andori; the cost was worth it. The phantoms had put in a lot of work to create the cloud, and that work had paid off.

[Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus] was currently Skullius' strongest Andori, and with good

reason.

The lead-grey cloud slowly reduced, and many strings of merigold Ju`wtte began running through it. They formed long stitches that started pulling on the cloud, slowly giving it a defined shape.

Soon, the cloud had become a large, magnificent robe constantly filtering out of Skullius' body. Every inch of it looked like a dream, as though it couldn't possibly be anything profound. When Skullius slotted two of his arms through the two sleeves of the robes, this was disproved, however. The nimbus followed and fitted around his arms perfectly, smoothly. It hissed like a serpent with each movement.

Skullius really liked this robe.

"The Permanent Max Evolution ended up helping us a lot more than we could have imagined.

I can't believe some of the things we had left up to chance are now in our hands, just like that," a phantom said jubilantly.

"I can hardly believe it either," Skullius said and he flicked his finger again.

[Evil Darkness] was harnessed through [King of Severing Twilight: AfterDark] and [Just Light] was expelled through [Sagacious Antiphon of Dawnlight].

The mobilisation of these two similarly ranked Andori was atrociously fast, as was the weaving of the respective elements they produced. It almost seemed as though both had taken place at the same time, even to Susu'k, who didn't dare say a word.

Three, miniature constructs were forged around Skullius and they began floating around him.

One looked like an unnaturally tall, dark and thin creature with innumerable arms sprouting from its torso and clasping together.

It was the Noboboyama, Spirit of Blind Drowning.

The second looked like spherical ball of forty, curved, spindly arms that shot out from a golden white hourglass-like centre. Half of the arms met at the top, and the rest at the

bottom.

This was the Ororoborou, Mantle of Smiting.

The third looked like a large, golden white, stocky humanoid with a giant head and six black wings. Its torso was lined with small, dark scales as well, which gave Skullius the idea that it might be in some way, draconian, but he couldn't be sure.

This was the strongest PHANTASMIC RETAINER, Gajjkav, Baleful Remembrance.

Because Skullius' affinity with [Evil Darkness] had reached the S rank, he was finally able to use all the Phantasmic Retainers.

The Noboboyama was the weakest, only capable of holding at most two Seeds of the Fruit of World Myths. The Ororoborou came after it. It could hold two Seeds as well, but had a far greater integrity than the Noboboyama. It seemed like a better version of it.

The Gajjkav was the strongest Retainer. It was the sturdiest and could bear three Seeds at

once.

Skullius was especially pleased.

At once, he funnelled the combinations of his Territories his phantoms had created earlier from his body and had them contained in the Retainers. He placed one combination in each of the Retainers, and they were suddenly engulfed by a crushing pressure of Nitros! Even though Skullius hadn't modified his mana cores, the Permanent Max Evolution had worked wonders on his mana in general. It salvaged the cores that he had left and forged a single one with an ungodly amount of gold quality mana. It was this core that was producing such powerful Nitros!

The phantoms had been intending to deal with the mana core issue after the fusion process, in Aigas, where mana was abundant, but they didn't have to bother themselves now.

Skullius' soul then slithered back into his body.

He felt for his limbs and grinned.

His Parlous Natures were brimming inside his flesh and his blood was pumping wildly in his

veins, eager.

'Let's take a look at that status,' Skullius said.
