Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Chapter 1333: Victory?!



Bai Yunfei continued to attack even as the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was being hurled away. The moment he saw both effects activated he sent the Cataclysmic Seal once more tk attack!


Then when the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was about to dodge out of the way, Bai Yunfei raised his finger at him!


“Freeze!!”


Once again, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was brought to an abrupt stop. His eyes flashed with annoyance and anger at this before swinging his sword again!


“Clang!!!”


Just like the last time, the Bloodbath stopped the Cataclysmic Seal and repelled it!


There was yet another burst of strange energy from the Cataclysmic Seal when it was forced backward. Remembering the last time, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s eyes narrowed with anxiety…


“Tch!! That’s definitely a mid-divine tier soul armament!!”


Bai Yunfei clicked his tongue in disappointment. Another failure of the +14 additional effect meant the Bloodbath wasn’t a low-divine soul armament, but a mid-divine. And that meant the chances of success would be much lower.


He wasn’t discouraged, though. A ‘failure’ to activate didn’t equate to being ‘unable’ to activate. A plan was already in the works, he wasn’t randomly trying to have the Cataclysmic Seal crash into the demon armament over and over again. He just needed to have it activate just once, and if that meant doing it again and again, then so be it! His plan would move into the next phase the moment he managed to absorb the Bloodbath since it meant his opponent would be without the demon armament and without as much power as before. It’d be possible to win in that case!


His eyes narrowed to concentrate. Gathering his soulforce to him, Bai Yunfei raised his right hand to send the Cataclysmic Seal again at the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!


“Pah! Cease with your delusions!!”


The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was quickly losing his patience. Roaring after he broke free from Soul Anchor Technique again, he launched an even larger beam of energy from his sword!


“Boom!!”


The Cataclysmic Seal was repelled back once again but because it didn’t hit the Bloodbath, the +14 additional effect was once again unable to activate.


“Bzz…”


Suddenly, a dark red light began to shine from the gemstone embedded in the Bloodbath. Flowing outward, the energy continued to affect the air until it eventually rolled over Bai Yunfei. Feeling a chill when it did, Bai Yunfei realized his soulforce was starting to grow sluggish!


“This…this is a domain skill!!”


The Bloodbath was actually capable of using such a skill! And it had the same ability as the Soul Sealing Mandate’s +12 additional effect!


There was also something else about its activation that caused Bai Yunfei to be surprised…


“A spirit!!” Bai Yunfei gasped, “I can sense a spirit’s signature…the demon armament has a spirit inside of it!!”


It wasn’t exactly the same as the spirits within the Regalias, but Bai Yunfei was without a doubt sure that the Bloodbath had a spirit residing in it!


Mid-divine tier and also having a spirit of the armament…the Bloodbath was without a doubt worth being considered a Regalia!


……


“Hmph!!”


It was a surprise, to be sure, but not one Bai Yunfei was about to lose himself from. He activated the +12 additional effect of the Soul Sealing Mandate and immediately canceled out the other. Some of his own attributes began to rise, but the majority of the Soul Sealing Mandate’s effects were being canceled out by the Bloodbath’s effect.


+12 Additional Effect: All allies within range gain a 20% increase in all attributes.


All enemies within range have a 10% decrease in all attributes.


Determination of ally or enemy is dependent on user. If unknown, then neither effects will apply.


Duration of 1 hour and cooldown of 24 hours.


“Eh?”


The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was just as surprised at the Soul Sealing Mandate’s effects as Bai Yunfei was for the Bloodbath. His very own domain skill was being suppressed!


“This is from another Regalia! Which is it? The Soul Sealing Mandate or the Soul Sentinel Scarf?! Never had the records ever mentioned an ability like this. Was Shangguan Xiongyan right then? Bai Yunfei has the ability to strengthen soul armaments and grant them new powers?!”


The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s heart began to beat slightly faster now, the surprises just wouldn’t stop!


“More! More! Bring out more!! Let me see how many tricks you have! Show me your ultimate technique, come kill me!! Kekeke…”


No one could tell what the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was thinking or what he was planning.


He remembered Shangguan Xiongyan mentioning before that Bai Yunfei had a secret technique capable of reflecting soul skills. This too was something the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wanted to see for himself, but he’d have to wait for the right time. That was why he didn’t launch a soul attack even after being frozen by Bai Yunfei with the Soul Anchor Technique. He still had a plethora of techniques to use even without a soul attack, but strangely enough, he didn’t bother using them. He was content using the Bloodbath to counter the Cataclysmic Seal.


It puzzled Bai Yunfei why he was taking such a course of action but he wasn’t going to question it. If that was the way the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was going to play, then he’d use the Cataclysmic Seal and keep on attacking.


The size of the Cataclysmic Seal was massive and yet was still being expertly manipulated by Bai Yunfei. With all of the area surrounding the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord being practically occupied by the Cataclysmic Seal, it looked like Bai Yunfei was trying his best to bury the man into the earth!


“What’s he playing at? Why isn’t he attacking?” Bai Yunfei thought to himself as he sent the Cataclysmic Seal out yet again. He was starting to feel uneasy about how the battle was progressing. This definitely wasn’t how he thought the battle would go.


“What is he planning?” Simultaneously, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was also filled with doubts. As strong as the Cataclysmic Seal was, it wasn’t so strong that it’d cause him any serious harm to him. Bai Yunfei should know this, so why was he so intent on doing the same tactic again and again?


The battle progressed in this manner for a very long time. Bai Yunfei didn’t use anything but the Cataclysmic Seal to attack and the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord chose to stay on the defensive the entire time—anyone who looked at the battle now would’ve been puzzled.


Gradually, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord began to look annoyed and even a little disappointed.


“His soulforce is exhausted by now. What a disappointment…”


As the thought was formulating in his mind, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord suddenly took notice of Bai Yunfei’s hands. Previously, Bai Yunfei’s aura was extremely weak, but now it was starting to swell back to normal levels!


“What sorcery is this?!”


Amazed as he watched Bai Yunfei’s soulforce be replenished, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord then suddenly realized the Cataclysmic Seal was coming at him with renewed vigor!


……


Bai Yunfei was feeling frantic now. So many times had he used the Cataclysmic Seal to attack, and only six or seven of them actually hit the Bloodbath, and all of them failed to activate the additional effect! The other times, the Cataclysmic Seal were either dodged or stopped by an elemental barrier.


If the Bloodbath was a mid-divine tier, then the chances of the Cataclysmic Seal successfully activating its +14 additional effect was only about five percent, or ten percent if the Fate Pendant was calculated into it. It wasn’t very strange that it didn’t activate yet, but the pressure was really starting to build on Bai Yunfei. His victory hinged on the Cataclysmic Seal activating but here he was simply allowing his soulforce to be drained away!


“Damn!! Work damn it!!”


Bai Yunfei roared loudly as more soulforce coursed through his body. Waving his hand forward, he sent the Cataclysmic Seal flying toward the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!


The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord narrowed his eyes. In a flash of red light, he brought the Bloodbath out to slash at the soul armament again.


“Boom!!”


Red light flashed everywhere as the beam of light struck the Cataclysmic Seal. Instead of the Cataclysmic Seal being repelled, the soul armament managed to break apart the beam of light and continue forward!


“Pah!!” Narrowing his eyes, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord brandished his sword and swung it again at the Cataclysmic Seal!


“Clang!!!”


Sparks flew everywhere this time as the Cataclysmic Seal flew away. Another scratch could be seen on the surface of it this time.


“Bzz…”


An eerie red light began to shine from the Cataclysmic Seal as it flew away. It stretched out to reach the Bloodbath and then covered both the sword and the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord within it!


This was a scene the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord saw multiple times already. He expected the light to fade away after time, but when it didn’t, he realized something was different!!


The ‘attractive’ force pulling at his sword was exponentially stronger than before now! So strong in fact that he was forced to loosen his hand and…watch the Bloodbath fly away from him!


He didn’t even have any time to react. Watching as the Bloodbath flew away from him, he gaped as it then ‘melted’ into the Cataclysmic Seal!


“Bzzz…”


Almost as if it was happy, the Cataclysmic Seal began to shine with an even greater flash of light.


“It worked!!”


Bai Yunfei’s eyes lit up with glee; it finally worked!


The +14 additional effect had finally activated!


“Ahhh!!!!”


A vacant expression crossed the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s face as he tried to understand what in the world had just happened. Then it began to twist up before he let out a scream of pain!


His demon armament had been destroyed!!


The Bloodbath had been with the man for hundreds of years. Not only was his compatibility with it practically on the same level as a lifebound armament, but it was also a demon armament with a spirit! The loss of it to the Cataclysmic Seal was an incredibly tremendous blow to his strength!


“Now’s the time!!”


All that patience had led up to this moment, and now it had finally paid off! Bai Yunfei’s right hand grabbed onto the Fire-tipped Spear at once. Spinning it around himself to build up speed, he then let the Fire-tipped Spear go!


“Whoosh!!!”


In a brilliant arc of fiery light, the Fire-tipped Spear flew through the air to strike at the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!


“Ahh!!”


Panic entered the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s eyes now that he was back and fully aware of the trouble he was in. The pain of losing the Bloodbath left him extremely sensitive, but he wasn’t out for the count just yet. A barrier was immediately erected in hopes of it being enough to protect himself.


But when the Fire-tipped Spear drew close to the barrier, it slipped through it as if it didn’t exist!


The +13 additional effect had activated!!


+13 Additional Effect: Expend 40% of the user’s soulforce to ignore any one elemental-based defense upon the next strike.


Cooldown of 10 minutes.


“What?!!”


The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord felt his heart plummet while his mind was screaming at how this was impossible. But it was too late to do anything now!


“Tzk!”


“Boom!!”


Like a hot knife through butter, the Fire-tipped Spear struck the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord in the throat and immediately activated the +10 additional effect: explosion!


The explosion covered the entirety of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord at once, leaving a smokescreen up in the air for a while before the charred pieces of his corpse fell from the sky…


“……”


Bai Yunfei let out a sigh of relief as he watched the pieces fall. He was happy, but also filled with disbelief at the same time.


Did…did he really just win?!
