Cleanly split.
This was the best way to explain the way the Penetrator looked at this moment. The seamless slice that ran diagonally across his severed body was immaculate and clearly powerful as simply being able to cut through the armour he wore as well as the hard dark, blue body he had was a feat upon itself.
“How did this happen?!” Skullius questioned himself while looking at his other half that was eight meters away.
He wasn’t exactly fazed as unlike his Discount Human body, the Penetrator body had a unique way of regenerating.
And no, [Luminous Healing] wasn’t one of them.
Ferex rushed over to Skullius, dragging the other half of his body to him.
The Penetrator didn’t integrate with himself just yet as he was trying to put together how that dark space, apparently called Stagnant Space, was related to the teleportation effect that he had experienced.
How long had really been stuck in that dark space anyway?
Time was hard to perceive in the dark.
This question, he decided to pose to his Apostle.
“Huh? I just disappeared and reappeared?!” Skullius exclaimed in shock as he received an answer.
Seriously?
His time confined in that space was more than just barely any time at all, as Ferex detailed.
“Is it like a place where time doesn’t pass?” Skullius asked himself while wondering but ultimately, the answer was beyond him. “Let me fix myself first.”
The Penetrator drew on his mana as he activated a skill he hasn’t used before.
[Silent Revelation of the Bright King]!
With its activation, a massive, pitch black cloud appeared mysteriously over the Penetrator, its thickness being obscenely obvious with how each lump of its existence almost seemed tangible.
Tinges of blue sparked within it as twelve sky blue, star shaped lights with an intense sparkle began to drop silently in slow motion, their radiance being almost holy.
These star shaped lights surrounded Skullius and began brimming with energy, their glow greatly intensifying as they then shot bursts of Silentburn Levin towards Skullius without a sound!
The collective release of the shocking power in the forms of thick bolts created a magnificent spectacle that was nothing short of appealing and magisterial!
Skullius’ two pieces rose under the hold of the blaring bolts that rippled their might over the figure of the Penetrator like water waves, the Null Devil’s Aegis of Damnation falling off the Null lifeform’s bone body.
Shortly after the steady rise of the body, the two pieces meshed together while the Levin brightened and melded where the damage had been done!
This scene was actually reminiscent of how the Penetrator had regenerated his arm during his evolution into this form for the first time.

[Silent Revelation of the Bright King | Lv. 2]
Using a conjured storm cloud, the Fulgurant Bone Penetrator can continuously replenish and mend his body while at the same time super charging it, which grants a 100% increase in damage and 70% Serenity Damage. The ability to seamlessly meld Silentburn Levin also becomes as easy as blinking socket flames.
Mana Requirements: 2500 Mana
Duration: 5 minutes
Cooldown: 10 minutes

This skill was very offensive in nature but its usage right now was only to heal Skullius as he wanted to continue forging ahead until he found a suitable place to use his [Epiphany] for maximum benefits.
Skullius stood while being bathed in the storm of Levin, his figure that already generated small sparks emitting a brilliant luminosity with streaks of the power splitting off his visage.
“That’s better,” he said but as his socket flames settled on the Null Devil’s Aegis of Damnation, he felt a bit sullen.
The armour had been split in two and on top of this, many marks of where it had been dinged up were visible, spelling out how much it had been through despite its little usage when compared to some of Skullius’ other’s equipment.
The Chains of the Damnation weakly rose, as if reaching for Skullius who extended his hands for them to come to him.
The chains hurriedly leapt and wrapped around his torso desperately, firmly settling over the Penetrator’s body.
“I guess it was time for a change anyway. At least for my human form is covered,” Skullius said he set his sights ahead. “Come on, Ferex bro. We still have to go further.”
The cloud over Skullius remained while the stars around him continued to release the streams of energy towards him that made him feel like he was invincible.
The Penetrator and Hound trudged on, their journey around the many pillars and clustered rocks being slowed by the threat of the grey lightning which smashed into both of them multiple times.
Skullius healed with the [Silent Revelation of the Bright King] while the Hound which also experienced the ‘splitting’ recovered with [Lanterns of the Pure].
Crossing a distance of sixty meters took over five minutes, rendering Skullius defenceless but he finally saw a semblance of what he needed amidst the continuously growing turbulent atmospheric conditions.
With his advanced sight, he saw shorter stone pillars in the distance but the firing bolts of lightning grew thicker while the winds blew in a spherical arc that cordoned off the way to what lied ahead, the barrier like construct that was created being very much capable of shredding both the Hound and Penetrator into dust.
Within this space, Skullius saw six staves made of different coloured stone, roughly carved with different designs. They floated in the air while below them, black and white stones the size of fists could be seen lying around with a pristine glows!
…!
‘Those are… Could all of them be like the Elimparidis Staff? And those stones…’
Around the perimeter of these objects, Skullius also saw small spheres with a dark and grey hue appearing at random only to disappear along with whatever they touched!
The Penetrator’s sockets flared with excitement. This was definitely Stagnant Space popping up at random!
‘The atmosphere here is saturated with this chaotic mana. Getting closer to that barrier thing will get me killed so I might as well take the slower road.’
With the raging waves of spatially corrupted mana all around, it was probably possible to learn.
‘Let’s do it,’ Skullius thought as he used the active effects of [Epiphany]!
