Bro, I'm not an Undead!

1423 The Impossible Conduit! (1)

"Keep your focus!" Asthon's voice came to Grim.

'I know dammit!' the Unlimited Star snapped in his own private mind space. Indeed, he knew.

That was why he had cast away his Nitros and was drifting upwards stiff as a board without making the slightest movement. He feared that even the twitch of his finger would ruin everything before he was ready. The conditions of the great void assaulted him mercilessly, but they were the least of his worries. @@@@

Jiggorrhax, who was momentarily stunned by Grim's physical appearance was forced to snap out of his daze when the Impermanence Fiends vanished from his sight, deciding finally that they didn't have to respect the immense presence of life energy now that their target was separated from it.

They aimed for Grim at once, appearing around him.

The Unlimited Star gritted his teeth and activated Tranquil Instance with his Granted Star Armament. He was immediately flushed in a bold, blue outline that sent tendrils outward; it was operating at full capacity.

The Impermanence Fiends would have had him if it wasn't activated. They didn't draw too close after the boundary of Null Life Essence was established, but they didn't give up either.

'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!' Grim thought when the creatures encircled him. A cord of reddish black, like a ribbon, connected them together, and an ominous presence that felt distinctly like a warm, dusty breeze swept over everything in the vicinity. It was bad, Grim and Jiggorrhax knew.

The Herald's eyes shone with urgency.

Asthon capitalised on that. He informed the dragon of what he needed to do immediately.

Jiggorrhax was up to the task.

'Very well. I hope your hypothesis is sound,' he thought, and he turned his whole body to Grim and the Fiends as best as he could, flames leaking from his teeth.

He considered the whole situation and reconciled it with what the old bird had told him.

Would that young human really be...?

One of the Impermanence Fiends morphed its jellyfish-like body to create a strange, tentacle-like to grab Grim, completely disregarding the twitching arm beside him.

That was a mistake.

A grave one.

Grim's severed limb suddenly exploded, tendrils of ugly, white, veiny flesh flying in all directions, devouring the portion of the Granted Star Armament around it and integrating the worms visible on its surface.

In less than a fraction of a micro-second, it adopted a familiar yet unfamiliar shape, and its large canine head whipped forth, its large fangs biting at the tentacle of the Impermanence Fiend!

By the time the Fiend decided to draw back its tentacle, it was too late. A chunk of it had been torn off and was being swallowed by the thing beside Grim.

The other Impermanence Fiends were disturbed.

How was this possible?

Any living creature that touched them was fated to succumb to death!

The answer flared in their senses right then.

The creature beside Grim, who was grinning and geeking out, was flushed with Null Life Essence!

The creature he had made... was Paradon Parody, an aspect of his Hidden Class, but with several unfathomably powerful augments that wouldn't affect him alone.

One of them was undoubtedly its Tier; it was something no beast on Aigas had or would ever be able to achieve.

It was an Impossible Tier reminiscent of the Stolen Angel's: 2,500!
