Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Forgotten Husks (241)

Kai remained completely still as dozens of souls slowly started creeping closer and closer to him.

The souls were a horrible shade of purple, like a corpse that had been frozen over. Unlike the souls of the abomimations back in the Forest of Ethania, these souls did not have ugly veins covering their bodies, but they still managed to look just as putrid.

Kai swallowed nervously.

"You know what, why don't you all step outside the cave for a moment?"

Cecilia frowned. She glanced back at Kai and was just about to say something when she suddenly stopped herself.

Why was his hand twitching like that?

Like he was... worried?

Suddenly, she heard a voice speak inside her head.

Only this time, it wasn't her own voice.

"There's invisible creatures in here. Get out now."

Flinching slightly, Cecilia reacted quickly and softly grabbed Petunia's hand, pulling her out of the cave.

"Come on Petunia, let's have a look at the view outside."

Petunia wore a confused expression on her face but did not fight back, letting herself be pulled away by the worried Cecilia.

Once they had left the cave, and only then, did Kai move.

Instantly, his body was engulfed by flames that could almost be described as divine. Their colour was a bright green, like a forest.

Kai's ears were assaulted by countless shrieks, disorienting him as all of the souls suddenly charged at him, wanting to end his life then and there.

But by the time they could react, the damage had already been done.

Kai outstretched both of his hands, and from each of his palms, a wave of fire shot out. It lit up the entire cave, revealing the shadows of humanoid creatures as the fire flew towards them.

Their bodies were incredibly elongated, and their limbs stretched out more than should have been possible.

The fire reached the first of them, completely encasing them as it started to thrash and scream even louder. By now, Kai was struggling to resist the urge to lift his hands up to cover his ears.

One by one, each of the invisible creatures got covered in the green flames, each of them adding to the barrage of sound attacking Kai's ears.

Sadly, even after the upgrade from a Divine rarity item, the flames were not enough to kill any of the invisible creatures.

After looking inside their souls, Kai focused on the Stat Sparks inside it.

They were roughly the same for every creature. The largest sparks were red and green, meaning the creatures highest stats were Strength and Constitution, meaning they were all going to get up close and personal when attacking him.

And that was exactly what happened.

The first of the beasts, still covered in the flames, swiped it's lanky arm at Kai, a set of razor sharp claws at the end of it.

That was one of the main reasons he had decided to use Constitution as the main stat when attacking the beasts, it had the longest life span after all, meaning he would be able to see the beasts a little longer.

Esurient manifested into Kai's hand at the same time he fused with Umbra. His height, size and stats all suddenly soared.

Now, it was a large Lycan facing off against dozens of invisible monsters.
