Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"His life force is depleting, and his body is breaking."

Valerius's words echoed through their head, and finally, the dread they felt started to wash away.

'We just need to hold on.'

All of them thought the same thing.

They still felt that going too close to Alex was dangerous, but now Alex doesn't look as threatening as he did a while ago.

Now all they saw was a ball of packed energy that could cause a loud explosion, but its fuel was leaking.

All they had to do was wait for the fuel to run out.

After that, the victory was theirs.

So, they readied themselves for the last few seconds of the fight.

'How long will this last?'

Alex, who was now back to his normal form, questioned inwardly in a serious voice.

[10 seconds is the maximum you could hope for.]

Sophia replied in a solemn tone.

Just like Valerius spoke earlier - Alex had used his lifeforce to get into this form.

It was not actually Alex, but the SD; however, it did ask for Alex's permission.

The moment it noticed the crisis Alex was in, it sent its thoughts to Alex, suggesting the best way to get enough power to overcome his enemies.

The question was simple - Will you sacrifice 1000 years of your lifespan to temporarily become invincible?

Alex, who was going through the pain, heard that question, or more like he felt it.

But at that moment, it was the incubus Alex in control.

So, with his arrogance still up in the sky and his pride getting in the way, he decided to accept it.

He just wanted to defeat his enemies.

He could've just surrendered or stopped pushing forward.

The demon generals were ready to stop; after all, they didn't want to kill him.

All it would've taken was two words - I concede.

His pride and arrogance, however, wouldn't want him to take that path.

So, they took the option of sacrificing a 1000-year lifespan.

Alex had around a 5,000-year lifespan, and it would keep increasing as he grew stronger, so Alex didn't think it was that big of a deal.

However, the moment he agreed to it, the shatter devourer increased the speed of the process, sucking his mana dry in just a second.

The speed at which the SD was sucking in mana from Alex's body was so fast that even his instant regeneration couldn't keep up.

And that was where his 1000-year lifespan came into play.

"GAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

This was the only thing Alex could do at that time because he could feel his lifespan being burned as fuel.

But there was some relief hidden in that scream because Alex knew that the process would now end in an instant, and it did.

*BOOOOOOOMMMMM*

The blast was due to the access energy in his body and because SD used this access energy to create an attack.

But because of that attack...

*Crack*

Alex's body started to crack as his body started to give out, even his body's healing speed couldn't keep up with the speed at which his body was shattering.

'ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!'

Alex was roaring inwardly.

The pain from his body on the verge of being broken was only adding to his agony.

The SD, who could feel it as well, hurriedly called in the energy, and that energy was used by Alex's body to heal itself.

Now, SD was running through Alex's body, and the strength of the SD was so potent that it even broke the transformation Alex was going through.

'I see….

I guess, I don't have much time to test out my new power...

Alex muttered as he clenched and relaxed his fists, feeling the new power rush in his body.

Right now, with the transformation broken, Alex had returned to being the human Alex, and although his incubus bloodline was still active and influencing him, it was balanced out by Alex's mind of master and Supreme Human bloodline.

[You can just stop the fight, you know.]

Sophia, however, didn't want him to fight.

She knew that Alex's body wouldn't be able to last for long, and by the end of the 3 seconds, he would be left defenseless.

She could get out and stop the fight by wiping the floor of the demon generals, but she knew that Alex wouldn't like it.

So, she suggested that Alex should stop the fight indirectly.

'I would stop if they asked for me to stop; I won't surrender.'

Alex, who heard her words, knew what she wanted him to do, it was not hard for him to understand.

However, even if he wasn't in the celestial incubus form anymore, he was still not someone without pride and arrogance.

The fact that he really wanted to test out his new power and his limits was also the thing that was stopping him from stopping the fight.

[You just want to fight them.]

Sophia knew why Alex wanted to fight, so she just sighed.

Finally, a smile formed on Alex's emotionless face.

'Yeah, I want to.'

Alex accepted it.

He really did want to fight with them in this form.

He wanted to test if he could defeat them in this form.

He wanted to end the fight that he had enjoyed most to date.

Alex could feel that with this power, he would stand a better chance of winning this fight.

'I know you can feel and understand me, and I know that you can feel my emotions, so I call for you, Shatter devourer.'

Alex just closed his eyes, feeling the movement of the SD that was now residing in a space next to his heart.

It had formed a black sphere with silver sparks flying around it, right next to the heart.

Alex could feel it contracting and relaxing like the heart, as if it were trying to follow the rhythm of the heart.

It might not seem like anything special, but that simple action is actually what differentiates a sentient ability from a non-sentient one.

A sentient ability lives inside of its owner, unlike the non-sentient ones that are just there to be used.

Alex could feel the SD's core inside him tremble as if accepting his call.

His mana drained in an instant and got filled again, but Alex could feel the access to a power much more destructive and dangerous than destruction energy.

With that energy running through his body, he didn't feel any kind of fear or nervousness.

It was as if they would protect him from anything.

He really felt invincible, right now.

"ROARR!!"

So much so that, even though he could see a large and concentrated burst of flames shooting straight at him, he didn't feel fear.

He just raised his palm toward the attack that the dragon had launched at him with a smile.
