Chapter 110: Apotheosis

’Is this it? Another death?’ Neil’s eyes were covered by blood, he couldn’t feel anything.

There wasn’t even any link around, so he wasn’t even sure if Analyzer would work or not.

And the immense burning hatred in his heart didn’t want him to give up, not give that bastard the satisfaction of killing him.

Cinthia’s words again reverberated in his mind, he needed to understand Aquamorph better, it is more than just a skill.

[Aquamorph Activated!]

He needed to connect to it in a way that he wouldn’t even need to activate the skill, his thoughts shape it and it becomes a part of him.

Neil felt as if he had fallen into a strange state, everything around him began to melt, his senses merging with the surroundings.

“LORD!!” Leon, without caring about anything, kept shooting arrows and rushed forward.

Magnar too rose to his full height, sending the most powerful magma breath, trying to save Neil.

The Frost Bear stopped just before punching Neil again and glared at the two new participants.

Yet the beast knew its current state wouldn’t last long and it would be greatly weakened after it ended.

And right now, Neil was the only one who could kill it, those two were just too weak.

GRRAAARRRRRRRRR!

A torrent of storm enveloped them, sending their bodies flying as the giant bear quickly turned, its claws striking at Neil to rip him apart.

BOOOOM!

“Nooooo!” Leon was terrified, he had failed to protect his lord, he had one task and failed.

Magnar rose to its feet and looked over in surprise.

BOOOM BOOM BOOOOOM

The Beast King hit the ground again and again, sending shockwaves coursing through the surroundings.

After nearly thirty strikes, he finally stopped, panting.

The ground was destroyed; it looked like a complete mess.

The tattoos on the Frost Bear’s body grew a little dim, it gazed at the pit, confirming the death of the weak human.

But there was nothing in the pit, releasing a confused growl the beast wondered if that human was smashed into oblivion.

Just then, it noticed something bizarre.

On its right claw, a jelly like figure was sticking, its body deformed.

Then the figure melted like a fluid, spreading on the ground.

Grrrrr…?

Even the Giant Beast King was confused whether he had killed this guy or not, as only a black fluid was on the ground.

But suddenly, the fluid vibrated and floated before shifting into a human like form and Neil appeared, alive but still badly injured.

“What… just happened?” He was surprised, just a few moments ago he felt like melting, becoming a fluid himself.

He looked down at his body, which aside from all the wounds from before was completely fine.

“Wait I am flying…?” it was like he could control his body just like a fluid, it was instinctive, as if his very nature had changed.

All three others who saw this scene were shocked, well four, Nemo included.

“Master this is great!!” she exclaimed, her voice full of excitement.

Neil would have liked to hear more but the Giant Bear had returned to his senses, roaring, it stomped over his body.

But he suddenly burst in a wave of liquid, his body dispersing into tiny droplets, as the beast stomped at nothing but empty air.

After a moment, Neil appeared even higher in the sky, the fluid twisting and taking the shape of his body.

A shocked expression was still on his face, this was… too awesome!!

Wouldn’t most physical attacks be useless against him in such a state?

“Nemo, what is happen-” he was just asking when the Frost Bear roared, freezing the entire area around Neil.

A large area was frozen, Neil was caught inside.

But his form dissolved into mist, as tiny holes formed over the ice mountain and he managed to escape within seconds.

RAAAAAAAAR!

The Frost Bear kept attacking but it felt helpless, its body was getting weaker while nothing really seemed to be working on Neil.

“Master, this is a state or rather a stage of your skill or nature, which very very few can reach.

It’s called Apotheosis State, but according to the records the youngest to reach this stage was the Dragon Empress at the age of 38, when she was about to evolve to the 5th Origin.”

Nemo said, her voice full of shock.

Reaching that stage at this point was like a primary school student solving a PhD level problem.

It was simply unheard of.

“But it seems to be a Pseudo Apotheosis State, as your surroundings aren’t changing according to your thoughts.” Nemo added.

’Hmm It’s still great, Pseudo Apotheosis huh, I wonder what teacher would say if she sees this.’ He thought as the giant bear kept attacking him.

His body simply changed form, turning into fluid or sometimes mist or jelly, it was so fun.

He flew around, not even trying much yet the Mythic Class creature was unable to touch him.

Neil could feel he could further improve this state, he could almost feel another enlightenment, but it was really hard to achieve.

Dozens of minutes passed, and finally the pattern on the Bear King’s body faded as the enormous body fell back with a loud thud.

It was panting, wounded chest heaving up and down.

Neil’s figure materialized in the sky, he too panted heavily as he was already badly injured.

Though using that state was not tiring at all.

“Finally you HUFF are done huh, now i- it’s my turn HUFF…” flying higher, he suddenly shot down.

BANG

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The spear was pushed even deeper as it kept rotating quickly, making the Bear King twist and writhe in pain, but it no longer had any strength.

Creating two large ice spikes, Neil stabbed them into the eyes of the beast.

It was time for revenge!

Pulling the dual swords back, he cut open the belly of the large creature, before cutting off one of its limbs.

He created reddish slime that entered through the wound and began to tear and devour it from inside.

The bear screamed in pain for a dozen minutes as Neil tortured it, but soon the Mythic Class creature finally died.

[You have killed a 3rd Origin Mythic Class Frost Bear!]

Few messages popped before Neil, but he could barely focus, his body fell down heavily.

He too felt very weak, all his stamina and energy had been depleted, and too many wounds were present on his body.

Thankfully, it wasn’t life threatening and he had enough potions, though he could barely move his arms.

“Lord, you did it!!” Leon and Magnar ran towards Neil, their eyes full of awe and reverence.

Looking at the big thing, it was really so hard to believe someone so small had managed to kill it.

Neil’s body returned to his normal form, if not for the Phantom form, the fight would have been even more impossible.

Neil gazed down at his armor which was in such a bad state and wondered if it could be repaired.

He put it away, looking down at his injuries, other people would have long fainted.

Pulling out a vial of healing potion, Neil removed the cap and brought it close to his lips.

WHOOSH

Yet right at that moment, something wrapped around his feet, and forcefully his body was yanked away.

CRACK

The vial just fell and broke as Neil’s body got dragged away with unbelievable force.
