Spirit Soul

Heavy rain of blood, intestines, and corpses covered the sky all around him.

But even then Kyle was relaxed as he looked at all of this.

He sent Arashi out to collect the souls of the deceased beasts while continuing the hunt.

Hundreds of corpses littered the ground in seconds, but Kyle kept tight control over the eight highly compressed crescent wind blades. They whizzed through the air and cut through the beasts that obstructed their path.

There was no remorse in his eyes when he saw the dead corpses of the deadly honey bees.

Instead, it was almost as if he saw them solely as his well-needed nutrition, which was somehow the case.

After all, he was bound to kill them to gain more soul energy in order to nurture Arashi's mutation path.

This was the most important to become stronger.

Death was something normal in the current era, which was why he was able to keep his calm.

His entire focus was on killing all the deadly honey bees, to prevent even a single one from escaping him.

Thus, when he had killed the first large wave of beasts at the Vitae stage, Kyle could only see that the entire sky was filled with soul energy.

Arashi had problems collecting all of them by himself.

With that in mind, Kyle shrouded his body with powerful gusts of wind before catapulting himself ahead.

His speed reached the peak in no time, and he collected the remaining wisps of soul energy.

A simple touch was enough to devour them.

This was something new that Kyle had gained not too long ago.

As long as he thought about devouring the wisps of soul energy, it was not necessary for the wisp of soul energy to be pushed into his chest.

It made things much easier, which was why he grasped them with his hand before they were suctioned within him.

The energy that coursed through his arm was a lot, but the potency of the soul energy was not unbearable high.

Thus, he simply endured it, forcing his entire body to adjust to the sensation, only to flash over the ground.

Once the vast majority of soul energy wisps had been collected, Kyle averted his attention back to the Beehive, where numerous deadly honey bees had emerged once again.

It looked like the Bee Queen send out more monsters now, but this was no problem for Kyle.

He thought of them as his easy-to-get harvest, which they were essential.

After all, the eight highly compressed crescent wind blades were powerful enough to cut them in half.

That was also the reason why Kyle continued to use the wind blades, without thinking about switching his mean of attack. Controlling them didn't require much soul force as well.

A faint smile covered his lips, only for Kyle to shake his head, his expression turning serious once again.

He felt as if he should show the bare minimum of respect towards the beasts that succumbed to eternal rest due to his attacks.

Keeping up with this morale and mindset was quite difficult because the soul energy wisps that covered the sky just moments later were a clear sign of how much Arashi would be able to improve.

Kyle was pretty sure that the Beehive was more than enough for Arashi's mutation path to be fully nurtured.

That was everything Kyle wanted to happen, to let his Spirit Soul mutate for the second time.

Afterward, it was possible to focus on nurturing the other development paths of the Spirit Soul, such as the increased limit of Arashi's energy absorption and conversion rate!

The sheer thought of it made Kyle smile, which was something he wanted to slap out of his face.

But instead of forcing himself, Kyle averted his attention to the Beehive and collected every single soul.

Meanwhile, his crescent wind blades were still soaring through the air, creating a feast of death and blood.

Time passed fast, and Kyle didn't even notice that the last of the deadly honey bees at the Vitae stage had already emerged from the Bee Hive.

But that was not everything because the Bee Queen had also noticed that something was odd.

She left her hive for the first time in years, just to see that the vast majority of its children had been killed.

This was a disastrous sight, which lead the Bee Queen to use her spirit force at once.

The highly compressed wind blades slowed down before they were torn apart by the psychokinetic force of the deadly honey bee queen.

Kyle hadn't been able to focus solely on his crescent wind blades, which was the reason for them being easily torn apart.

However, that was fine because he had a different plan while facing the remaining deadly honey bees and the Bee Queen.

Without hesitation, Kyle used the accumulated soul energy of a hundred Vitae stage beasts to activate his Nurture ability.

Nurturing the devouring tree seedling's spores path, it released the spores that had various effects once again.

Kyle had enveloped his face with compressed wind currents preventing even the smallest trace of spores to reach him.

Releasing strong gusts of wind around him, Kyle blasted them towards the huge wave of opponents that were all around him.

He didn't hesitate to do so because the spores of the devouring tree seeling were already released rapidly.

Thus, Kyle wanted the spores to spread through the surrounding, and to reach every single deadly honey bee.

This included the Bee Queen as well!.

She had already appeared right in front of Kyle, ready to kill him at once.

As an existence at the Krysal stage, this was not further problematic, and it would kill any kind of Vitae stage a long time ago

However, Kyle was not the ordinary being at the Vitae stage.

His control over the wind affinity was extraordinary and the spores of the devouring tree seedling weakened the Bee Queen, within seconds.

On the other hand, the deadly honey bees at the Vitae stage fell into a comatose state as they were deprived of their consciousness.

They slumped to the ground in a simple manner without issuing another sound.

The Bee Queen would have noticed this if she were to pay attention to her own folk, instead of taking revenge for those that had died already.

She was right in front of Kyle, trying to prevent him from using his affinity while using her spirit force to attack his mind.

This usually worked well, even more so against weak-willed opponents that were at a lower cultivation base than her.

The only issue was if someone had a strong will, high pain tolerance, and cultivated in the path of Spiral.

All three of these factors were something Kyle possessed, which made things much worse for the Bee Queen than she could have anticipated.

Kyle was slightly affected, but it was definitely endurable.

He gave his utmost to stay calm, to endure the pain his mind was currently facing, just to release hundreds of compressed needles at once.

Arashi was supporting him, creating raging winds that revolved around the wind needles, increasing their strength.

A moment later Kyle shot them out, targeting the Bee Queen, whose entire body was not a meter long.

Focusing on her wings, dozens of needles pierced into them.

However, upon piercing into the Bee Queen's wings, most wind needles simply shattered.

Kyle expected something like that, only to smile lightly as he catapulted himself ahead.

He turned into a green flash, emerged below the Bee Queen, and slashed out with the Starbreaker Katana he unsheathed this at a terrific high speed.

Accelerated by the raging winds around him, Kyle's slash gained even more speed, colliding with the Bee Queen's body.

She was unable to evade the attack because of the needles in the surroundings

That was why the Starbreaker Katana was not the only issue. It may be sharp enough to kill the Bee Queen but it was certainly not the biggest problem.

Instead, everything about Kyle's attack was bothersome, from Kyle's slash, his wind needles, to the spores that affected her more and more.

Owing to her high cultivation, it took the spores a while to affect the Bee Queen severely.

However, as of this moment, she sensed that her defenses were giving in.

This was something that should never have happened. However, at the end of the day, it was a fact, that it did happen!

Because her defenses were drastically weakened, she could only witness her own death.

And all of that just because she had been led by wrath and greed, unable to think about better ways to attack Kyle.

Yet, even if she were to have used different means to attack, Kyle knew that he would have been capable of overwhelming her, anyways.

After all, he was not alone, and supported with wonderful traits and extraordinary means as well!!
