Chapter 59: Death Rune III

The soul, which during the process has also completely digested the essence, which made his dark properties increase. 

This process of creating his body and soul took longer than he expected but it was obvious creating a body was hard. If not for his talent, he wouldn't have been able to do this feat. 

But since he had already done it at second-tier his road to comprehending the death rune would be much smoother.

He wouldn't even be surprised if he comprehended the rune in an hour. Finally moving his body, he could hear the 'chik, chaks' coming out from his body whenever he moved.

This was normal as his new body was created just recently. 

As for why he didn't add any extra limb or anything, this time his whole body was convertible, this time he didn't depend on it to survive, instead it could be said to be the container for his soul. 

So even if he mutilated this body to the extreme, it wouldn't do him much damage. Since it was created, he could create it again and again. 

The whole body could be controlled by him, in other words, he could transport the muscles in a matter of seconds.

His whole body was abnormal, but just in case he had created organs and other such things so as to deceive the enemy and not burden his soul too much. 

These cells each contain a small power of the dimension rune, so he could just teleport his arm to another location. 

For example, when he was besieged and he couldn't defend from the back, he could transport the entire arm or other limbs to create a hard shell at his back. 

As he flipped his palms upside down, his fingers as if they had gained life, separated neatly from his hand and wriggled. 

In the place where the finger had left, a neat skin was formed as it closed off the wound. 

This was his new ability, his body was specialized in neither strength nor agility, instead it specialized in survivability and flexibility. 

Strength and agility weren't of much use to him, instead just being able to withstand the dimensional fluctuations would be satisfactory to him. 

As for the damage and movement, the runes would take care of them.

Now his body could be said to be divided into different parts rather than being a whole entity by itself. 

...

Sitting in a meditating position he closed his eyes as he breathed in deeply. 

Venturing deep into his soul, he extended his perception to the outside world as he tried to sense the death rune strings. They were black in color, with several runes surrounding it which were other runes related to death. 

Using his soul as a hand he tried to grab the black strings. 

As if his soul had an attraction, the normally unreachable death rune string came closer to his soul bit by bit until it was caught by his soul. Wrapping the whole string up with his soul, he closed off it off in its entirety. 

Slowly eroding the rune, he engraved the rune onto his soul. The string wriggled several times before connecting each end of the string turning into a circle line. 

After the circle was formed, the line suddenly went out of the perfect circle and formed a straight black line. The rune now looked like a circle at the top with a straight line coming out of it downwards. 

If explained, it would be a lollipop except that the inside of the circle was empty with nothing in it and the color was only black. 

The moment the rune was going to be engraved upon his soul, suddenly all the energy in the mountain he was located in, rushed to him forming an energy whirlpool. 

The rune sucked them all as it became darker and darker until it was pitch black. 

The rune gradually formed in his soul, affecting his entire body. The rune appeared on his eyes, where his iris was turned into a circular line with nothing in it and a straight black line pointing downwards. 

Now his left eye was occupied by the dimension rune while his right eye now had the rune of death in it. This was necessary, he can't just put two top-tier runes into one eye, otherwise it would conflict, eventually destroying his eye. 

Eyes were the gateway to the soul, so if a rune were to be engraved on his soul, it would also appear on his eyes. 

Now if he were to comprehend another top-tier rune, he would have to grow a third eye but the probability was very small as he didn't want to burden his soul too much. 

He wanted to comprehend the runes to a higher stage, now they might not be a threat but once it advances to a higher stage, it would conflict resulting in damage to his soul. 

Two was his limit, this was considering his future, if he were to comprehend another rune it mustn't be a top-tier one. 

...

As he continued to absorb energy after comprehending his rune, he suddenly couldn't find them anymore. Opening his perception he covered the whole mountain, only to realize that he had absorbed all the negative energy here using it as nutrition for the death rune. 

Sighing he got up and walked towards the exit. 

Feeling the grid hard feeling of the mountain rock beneath him, and the cold aura of the place he calmed down unknowingly. 

As he was soon going to reach the exit, the boulder turned into dust as it gave way to him. During this time a glare flashed through his eyes as he got out. 

Stepping on the air as if there was a staircase beneath him, he closed his eyes. 

Silently, he ascended upwards and without knowing, I felt the wind blowing at my face. 

Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see he was up in the air almost reaching the atmosphere. 

Suddenly I felt that something was beneath me, supporting my body making it stay up in the air. Looking down, I saw a black void like thin line beneath his foot. It was very thin but it felt like it couldn't be broken easily. 

The thin line was the surrounding universal energy mixed with a dimension string controlled by him.

As if gaining enlightenment he closed his eyes once again as he rapidly fell down. 

As he was almost in the atmosphere, he was at a very high place, so the falling speed would also increase along time until he drops to the ground like a meteorite. 

Still falling at a rapid speed, to protect him from the surrounding burning damage, he created a black line made from surrounding rune strings to protect him. 

Still falling, the speed had reached a terrifying level as fire resulting from the high-speed plunge covered him. 

Just as he was about to fall he stepped lightly on the air as he jumped off the ground. In the place he was in, nothing could be found only the diminishing fire. 

Just now he had performed short distance teleportation, nullifying the high-speed plunge as he created a thin screen to use as a support and jump. 

Surprisingly, I didn't feel nauseous at all instead as if the short distance teleportation had awakened him he felt great. This might be due to the short distance teleportation awakening his cells that were just created. 

Either way, now he could teleport and not receive any injuries. As expected of a body suitable for the dimension rune, if it was his old body it would've been torn by the space fluctuations and have gotten severe injury.
