Chapter 672: Echoes of the Past [Bonus]
The memory fragments were just too much to take inā¦
However, while they contained some of the most shocking betrayals, they did yield something: every last one of them became stronger than they were after rising to the Core formation stage.
Of course, their True Name awakening also contributed to the rise in strength. When compared to their past when they were at the Core Formation, their new forms are much strongerā¦
It showed that the True Name was something they were receiving for the first time, and as such, each became a somewhat better version of themselves. This, of course, was beneficial for themā¦
Next, Kent focused on his undead.
Kaizo was, as he had heard, a terrifying brute now.
During the Primordial Era, when Chaos went to the Primal Abyss to train, he met Leviathan, one of the Abyssal Leviathans, or at least descendantsā¦
But he was, without a doubt, a Leviathan. Their interaction was brief, but he left an impression on Chaos, and while he didnāt know why he gave him the Primal Bone Tempering Art, Chaos knew he would understand one day.
Kent didnāt have memories from that point yet since he had just started recalling his memories of that lifeā¦ but during his time, or perhaps long before his time, the Divine Angel Race was the rival of the Abyssal Leviathans.
Some history books referred to them as the First Angels, while others called them the Guardians of the Angels. However, one thing was certain: they were among the most terrifying warriors to have ever lived.
Kaizo had become a force to be reckoned with after awakening the Divine Angel Race Bloodline. If at first he was a brute, now he had become a brute with angelic might.
Kaizo, being Kaizo, decided to show off his new armor, and that was when Kent saw the golden, armless armor covering the brute, one destined to become a mighty figure in the future.
He also had four pairs of metallic angel wings, and his gauntlet was so terrifying that Kent wouldnāt want to be punched by it.
His golden lightning had also become much more dangerous. While Kaizo had yet to reach perfect control over it, he managed to become the third strongest, defeating terrifying brutes like Aetheris and Gorzak.
As for Vaelros, he gained a more powerful form of chains, which he called the Abyssal Chains of Torment. Before his True Name awakening, he was already a powerful brute, but after the awakening, everything about him changed.
First, his bloodline came from the Primordial Era, just like Kaizo. However, unlike Kaizo, who had a known lineage, Vaelros had no known lineage.
The bloodline he awakened was from the Chained Tormentā¦ a terrifying beast that was imprisoned in the Chain Isle of Torture by one of the 14 Universe Guardians.
It was strange to awaken something like thatā¦ but so far, his bloodline had only awakened 8%. That was pitifully low, but that didnāt mean he had become weaker.
He had become much more dangerous as a result. The only downside now was that Kent didnāt know how to help him awaken more of his bloodline; even the tower didnāt know, but he intended to look for a way out for Vaelros.
The Chained Torment was one of the most dangerous Primordial Beasts to walk the Primordial Eraā¦ so one way or another, he would help his Brute Undead unlock more of its powers.
As for the evil demoness, Sylara, Kent suspected she was hiding her powers, fearing that her brothers and sisters would be afraid of her.
This was because her bloodline, like Kaizoās and Vaelrosās, also came from the Primordial Era. And while Kent didnāt know why she had decided to hide her abilities, he decided to give her the privacy she needed, so he refrained from spying on her using the tower.
But one thing was sure: whatever bloodline she awakened, it was one that even terrified her, and until she became comfortable and opened up, he wouldnāt pressure her or spy on her.
Zareth already had his lineage, and that traced back to the World Serpentā¦
That left Krex Nithal, the undying Cockroach.
Jacob became a level 5 Core Formation expert after his awakening. Judging by the aura around him, he had become a force to be afraid of.
As for his bloodline, it was from the original Krex Nithalāthe one that survived the time of the Sand against all odds and had his revenge on the Sand demons.
As for Yi Lai, formerly known as the Hunter, she had become a dragon, and her class was Dragon Necromancer. This meant she could only have dragon undead in her legion.
She can also modify his dragon and, to some extent, summon dragons too.
She had already become a force to be reckoned with simply because, while Kent expected her to be just a necromancer, she was also a swordsman.
Of course, Kent had no idea she had lived for 50,000 years in her memories, and as a result, when she awakened, those memories came with her.
She emerged as a sword kingā¦ and based on Kentās understanding of the sword path, he recognized two things.
First, Yi Lai was walking a self-created pathā¦ just like he did back in the day as Lord Genesis. This meant if she reached the peak one day, she would become the progenitor of the Necrotic Sword Dance Path.
The second thing he noticed was that Yi Lai had a spotless understanding of the sword. She had a solid foundation, and that alone put things into perspective for Kentā¦
If only he knew Yi Lai was once his disciple of some kind.
She followed him everywhere, and thanks to Kentās knowledge of the sword path, she managed to walk her own path to the Sword Immortal Stage before she learned to trust Kent.
So she was not only a necromancer with untapped potential, she was also a terrifying swordsmanāone who could wield the sword like a true swordsman.
And now that she knew she could rely on Kent, the first thing she did was ask for a favor.
āI want to get revenge on the Oracles.ā
Kent already expected something like this, so he gave her the go-ahead. He wanted to do it himself, but that would just be a waste when he had terrifying subordinates at his disposalā¦
Yi Lai thanked him and asked Veera to go with her. This was because while she couldnāt raise the human dead to become her undead, Veera could, and that would add to her strength.
Leaving the bodies behind after her massacre will be a wasteā¦
