Reincarnated with a lucky draw system

Chapter 368: BATTLE IN THE VOID V

"What’s wrong?" Aaron asked, sizing Chen Mo with his eyes.

Aaron felt a resonance with Chen Mo, his eyes moving subconsciously towards the arms of Chen Mo.

[He has the mystic arms. And he is in the paradox rank Aaron]

The system warned Aaron gravely.

"I also have the mystic eyes. I likely won’t lose. But there’s no harm in being careful," Aaron thought to himself.

He decided for the first time to let caution win in his decision.

Aaron bent space, prepared to flee.

Space bent around him in an instant, space around Reign bending as well.

"You can never escape judgement for me. Try your best to survive this attack," Chen Mo declared, swinging his sword.

"Soul severance," he whispered, but Aaron felt the chill in his heart.

In split second, Aaron teleported away, barely escaping the attack.

Or so he thought.

"That was close. What the hell was that?" Aaron asked, appearing within the sanctuary.

[Aaron. Try all you can to dodge the attack. Use everything within your disposition] the system adviced.

"What are you talking about? I already dodged the attack," Aaron replied, unable to understand.

[Do it now!]

"Relax. I’m in the sanctuary. Nothing can harm me. I’m omnipotent here," Aaron replied, confident as ever.

[Your sanctuary can’t do anything against a strike from the mystic arms!]

"What do you mean? What’s so special about_" Aaron was unable to complete his statement, his eyes wide opened.

Tearing a rift in space, and entering the sanctuary was the very attack of Chen Mo, soul Severance.

In split second and as fast as he could, Aaron accessed his continuum, Norton flowing freely, while he made use of everything within him.

He first of all isolated space around him, making use of his omnipotent power to layer and create several layers of space.

Then he created a time region to halt all attacks.

Aaron didn’t stop there. Within the isolated space, Aaron created several layers of rocks around him.

But despite all his actions, the attack passed through all of them like light piercing through a transparent glass.

The attack got to Aaron, hitting his very soul.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!" Aaron yelled in agonizing pain, feeling his soul ripped in shred.

He lost consciousness, his mind slowly fading away from the pain.

Aaron’s soul was shredded with the attack, his demise all but certain.

But Norton, the living essence acting automotively came timely to Aaron’s aid.

This time, the system intervened, providing aid to Aaron as well as the sliver of consciousness of the previous Night father.

Controlling what it can from Aaron’s control over the sanctuary, it deliberately severed a part of Aaron’s soul, while the rest soil was hidden or what remained of it.

Norton used time essence on part of Aaron being severed, with the aid of samsara to ensure permanent destruction wasn’t done to Aaron’s soul.

It was like providing data on an hard drive to be deleted by processor. But then creating a leeway like a trash bin to allow the recovering of the data.

It was a long and tedious task, not possible for any mind to pull out.

The only reason it was able to be done was because of Norton, the living essence.

Chen Mo continued refining the core of Jarrett.

He had completed the process of refining the core and was about to devour it.

"What’s the matter?" Aetherion asked, noticing the intrigued look on Chen Mo’s face.

He had remained to guard Chen Mo while he refined the core.

"I seem to have come across the seedling you speak of, Aaron Highborn. Well an astral form of mine," Chen Mo informed.

"How?" Aetherion asked out of interest.

"He may have crossed path with one of my child. Quite the impressive man to survive an attack from me," Chen Mo said, his mind receiving the information from his consciousness that returned.

"I see. I guess we have lost a good seedling if you had attacked him," Aetherion said calmly, but with disappointment on his face.

"Perhaps not. If he is a good seedling like we expect of him, he should be able to do something. BeIdes he has the mystic eyes," Chen Mo informed.

"The mystic eyes. To have the mystic eyes. I guess he is an anomaly like you vying for the throne," Aetherion said with understanding.

"He is. In the end me and the seedling might have to compete for the throne when the time comes," Chen Mo said, his thoughts trailing to the inevitable battle for the throne of all.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" Reign screamed in agony, his severed limbs causing a great deal of pain that radiated through his massive body like searing flames.

His voice echoed through the fractured void, distorting the erratic streams of light around him, his face twisted in a mask of pure torment as blood floated weightlessly from the stumps.

"You bastard!!! I swear I will kill you!!" Reign roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot and bulging with unbridled rage.

Veins throbbed visibly on his forehead, his remaining torso trembling from the intensity of his hatred, the chaotic expanse seeming to amplify his bellow into a thunderous wave.

"Yeah, sure you will," Aaron replied with a mocking tone, his words dripping with sarcasm.

He rolled his eyes slightly, a smirk curling on his lips as he dismissed the threat without a second thought.

He rudely wiped his blade clean with the cloth of Reign, dragging the edge across the fabric with deliberate slowness.

The material stained with blood and grime, the action emphasizing his disdain, the sword now gleaming once more under the shifting luminous currents.

"Now if you will just stay quiet while I deal with the other one," Aaron said with a smile, his expression one of casual indifference.

He glanced at Reign briefly, the void’s turbulence framing his figure as he prepared to turn away.

Aaron created a confined space around Reign with his Primordial Terra Ignis, the barrier forming like a cage of molten earth and unquenchable flames.

The enclosure shimmered with intense heat, trapping the limbless titan inside, the walls pulsing faintly to contain any attempts at escape.
