Soul Of Negary Chapter 192 - Vol2 Ch90: Drawing Power From The Impurity

Chapter 192: Vol2 Ch90: Drawing power from the impurity

Translator: La0o9

The immense force of impact erupted and struck the monstrous mountain of insects below.

However, even that torrential power had only managed to cause the monstrous mountain of insects to shake a bit, flinging some of the mucus and insects back into the vomit before it reformed to its original state.

Sure enough, as life-time adversaries that now became allies in the Burning Crusade, the Divine race and Dragon race understood one another’s strengths and tactics quite well.

The strength of the Dragon race was mostly focused on their raw physical strength and Dracotongue Magic, as well as the emphasis on power of the bloodline, so they didn’t need to delve into the power of their [Origin] abilities too heavily.

But the Divine race wasn’t the same. Their natural physical strength was certainly superhuman, and even without the use of their Spirit Verse – which was the equivalent of the Dragon race’s [Dracotongue] – they would still be formidable warriors, but very few members of the Divine race actually spend the time and effort to study the powers of their bloodline, instead focusing more on releasing their [Origin] and delving into that power.

As Shennai faced Negary, as soon as he realized that Negary had a Dragon’s bloodline, he had been paying attention to a [Dracotongue] attack.

‘Jliost’ was the [Dracotongue] syllable that represented irresistible force, a favorite of almost every Dragon, so when the spirits of impurity manifested in the form of a ‘jelly fruit’, the power and effect of Negary’s Dracotongue Magic was cut down to its minimum.

The countless insects manifested into the form of a hand, carrying the rancid stench of the mucus and vomit as it reached out to grab Negary.

Under the gigantic hand, Negary felt a huge number of the germs that made up his body immediately dying off, turning into mucus. This was a form of drawing power from the impurity, as any creature within the cycle of life could fall under the influence of this impure power and become rotten.

Once they were pulled into the swamp of vomit below that embodied the collective concentration of impurity as a concept, any living being could and would be a.s.similated into that impurity.

This was the ultimate aim of all wors.h.i.+ppers of impurity, and thus they actively strived to become closer to that muddy swamp.

「 The world is irredeemably rotten, and we are all part of it 」

「 Escaping from this is to betray oneself 」

「 Only by becoming one with it could one truly find themselves 」

The chants of impurity continuously resounded in the air, this was a ‘truth’ of the world, if one felt compelled to agree with it, they would also become closer to it, thus turning into a part of the impurity.

Shennai stood still, as if he wasn’t observing Negary at all and simply focused on chanting the verses of impurity.

Negary’s Disasforce surged forward, cras.h.i.+ng against the gigantic hand of insects, turning it into a shower rain of insects.

But then, even more insects gathered from within the swamp of vomit to form gigantic hands that continuously tried to grab Negary, all the while the impurity continued to affect him. A portion of his germs were either dying off, or becoming mutated, escaping from Negary’s control to become mucus that caused even more germs to also mutate.

Tumors grew all over Negary’s body, which were constantly dripping mucus down his body, with a flick of his hand, Negary’s fingers detached from his body, they were infused with Disasforce as they soared towards Shennai like arrows.

The black misty aura swirled and mutually ate away at the Disasforce, the fingers inside were swiftly turned into mucus that merged into the swamp of vomit, dealing no damage to Shennai whatsoever.

「 Your very existence is an impurity, even closer to it than any other creature, you cannot fight against the power of impurity, turn yourself in and become a part of it 」Shennai slowly muttered, the swamp of vomit that had now rose to his waist started to move, exuding a foul rotten aura.

He wasn’t wrong, as Negary’s essences were germs and virus, which themselves were considered to be impure.

If Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form was said to perfectly counter the Dragon race due to the ‘sin’ contained within, then Shennai’s power of impurity would perfectly counter Negary.

As Negary’s body continued to ‘bleed’ mucus, the viscous liquid slowly turned into tentacles that writhed and coiled around Negary’s body, turning his body into a terrifying shape.

〖 It’s almost enough 〗

Negary who had been staying silent suddenly spoke up, as he did, golden blood started to mix into the mucus dripping all over his body, flowing into the tentacle-like insects that grew from his own body.

Immediately after that, his body collapsed, turning into a ma.s.s of liquid that was swiftly a.s.similated by the muddy impurity.

However, a new Negary quickly manifested outside the range of the vomit swamp, his power had never truly been measured through sheer strength, the property of his soul that allowed him to continuously transfer through Soul’s Blood was also a part of Negary’s might.

Unless one could directly attack his soul or prevent his soul from transferring away, they would not be able to truly kill Negary.

However, this newly formed body also quickly became influenced by the impurity. It could be seen just how much the power of impurity countered Negary’s viral body, if his willpower wasn’t rock solid, even his soul would have been corrupted by this impurity.

However, this time seemed different, as the thing dripping from Negary’s body was no longer the yellow-green mucus from before.

〖 It is as you said, I myself am impurity 〗Negary’s body was dripping in a sort of black liquid, this vessel of his quickly lost its human visage and almost seemed like it had melted into a puddle of black liquid.

A different power of impurity had been born within this black liquid, which caused Shennai’s expression to change.

Under the influence of Shennai’s impurity, Negary didn’t try to struggle or put up his guard, he simply allowed the power of impurity to corrode his own body bit by bit, from which he examined the changes of every germ until the very end. Eventually deriving it into an impurity that belonged to Negary himself.

This was only possible because Negary himself was extremely close to impurity; and it was because he had Shennai’s power of impurity as a reference that Negary managed to construct a model to derive the power of impurity for himself.

This might have seemed simple, but Negary had relied on his wealth of Mysticism knowledge as well as the acc.u.mulation from several previous cycles of the Disaster world in order to achieve this. Otherwise, how could the power of impurity that Shennai had obtained from exploring his [Origin] ability for over a thousand years be copied so easily?

Even now, the power of impurity that Negary was using was extremely weak, completely incomparable to the strength of Shennai’s power of impurity.

「 So what if you had managed to learn it. Your [Origin] is different from mine, the fact that you had created this new impurity would only serve to complement my own impurity, allowing me to grow stronger 」Shennai quickly regained his senses. The impurity was a power that he created from studying and examining his [Origin] ability, taking over a thousand years to complete.

Even if Negary had managed to learn it due to being close to the concept of impurity, that power was merely in an embryonic state, which on the contrary, would improve Shennai’s understanding of impurity if he was able to absorb it.

〖 That is indeed true, but I merely need the power of impurity in order to allow the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority to exert its power 〗Negary understood this perfectly. For an ability copied from someone to somehow be able to defeat the original, that was nothing but a daydream.

Perhaps if Negary took the time to study and experiment with it, his impurity would grow to become stronger than Shennai’s current power of impurity, but that is a big ‘if’.

The main reason Negary had copied the power of impurity was merely to allow the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority to become usable. It was rendered useless earlier because it became contaminated, but once Negary had also become a part of the impurity, the contamination could no longer achieve the same effect.
