Lord of the Truth

Chapter 467 Victory That Brings No Joy

After the four chairs, the rest of the rugs, sheets, knives, and even spoons moved, every detachable thing inside the room started running madly towards the young giant, then they pounced at him to restrict his movement or dig deep into the joints of his body!

”AARGHH!! WH- WHAT IS HAPPENING?! How the hell would a Flame user control material items?! HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE CONTROL MATERIAL ITEMS” The young giant cried aloud when he sensed that he could no longer move freely... Even his clothes had become too tight for him that his breathing became hurtful.

This was the Life Transfer ability that Richard had created himself…

His newfound ability to directly draw life energy from his opponentʼs body was so powerful it left him with an unexpected problem, What should he do with all the life energy he was extracting!?

Life energy was vastly different from normal natural energy, it was extremely thick and canʼt go anywhere without a carrier... Even though he was a Saint with a Life Fire Technique created by someone cultivating in the Truth Master Law, he would exhaust himself for hours in order to increase the life energy in the targetʼs body by a few drops, only enough to make someone live a few more days!

The life energy that he began extracting from the bodies of victims was foreign to its surroundings. After it comes out of the body of the giant, It did not know what to do, as it is not something that exists in nature without a container that holds it within.

After killing the first giant by extracting his life energy, Richard found that his life energy had fallen under his corpse and a small herbal garden was created inside his room, creating its very own little echo system!

So the second time, when he sat on top of the giantʼs corpse, he tried to absorb that life energy for himself, and indeed he succeeded, But after he absorbed a bit, he found that his life vein was filled to the brim, and he could not absorb more, again most of the Life Energy of that giant gone to waste

The third time, Richard came up with an idea... He quickly gathered that energy using the Life Flame, then used the Life Injection Technique that the Life Legion uses to create flame monsters with the help of the Fire Legion, and injected all of the Giantʼs Life Energy into the chair he usually sits on...

Every being needs two things to live, the first is the soul and the second is the living body, you canʼt have a leaving being without one of them... 

The life injection technique makes a mental connection with any inanimate entity, so the user of the technique shares his soul with the target, so the target automatically turns into a slave who seeks to please the one who gave him his life and carries out all his orders Without a chance to rebel, the second half of the technique is to inject a stream of life energy into its body, thus having a new living creature with a soul and living body.

But the technique of the Life Legion allows them to transform inanimate and natural objects into living beings temporarily, that technique depends on the user of the Major Heavenly Law of Life pumping energy continuously into the target, and when the energy flow between the user of the technique and the target is interrupted, the target returns to being just inanimate...

As for what Richard did that day, it went beyond the mere energy injection technique. He did not provide the chair with a light flow of life energy, but rather gave him the full thick, rich life energy of a young Nehari Giant Genius!!

After that incident, Richard was taken to have his limbs cut off and tortured with a thousand lashes, but all the time he was thinking about the fate of the chair. And when he came back, he was pleasantly surprised, the chair was still alive without the need for a continuous Life Energy stream connection... The experiment has succeeded!

Richard called this new ability ”Life Transfer” and began using it in all his next battles, and every time he won he used the giantʼs life energy to revive an inanimate object in his room

In complete secrecy, he had his own little army inside his room...

He even took another step in tampering with the energy of life, he can now separate a large part of his own life energy and send it to any inanimate object to control and strengthen it, just as he did now with the clothes of the giant, then he makes up for this deficiency in his life energy by absorbing part of the life energy of another giant until it fills his life vein again...

*Shwalaaa*

At that moment, the pile of fire in front of Richard turned into a four-meter-tall flame soldier and started to advance toward the giant with slow steps…

”What- what is this?! No.. this should not happen!!” The pupils of the giantʼs eye expanded on the last of them from the scenes in front of him, he tried to destroy chairs, rugs, and other inanimate objects to escape, but those things were much stronger than he thought, all of them contained great energy inside them that made them very solid, and whenever he tried to move his fingers to perform any technique to himself, the Chairs would take note of what is happening and stop it!

”STOP! I accepted your offer, I donʼt want to fight anymore, I ACCEPT!!!” The giant finally shouted... but there was no answer.

*SHAA*

In the next moment, the Flame Soldier stabbed the giantʼs heart

”AAAAHHHHHH~~!!!!” The giant gave a loud shriek, which softened little by little until it finally stopped as his heartbeat stopped.

There was not a single burn on the body of the young giant or his clothes, but his strong body and muscular muscles were no longer what they were, his clothes suddenly became loose on him, and his features changed to an old man who had been battling illness for hundreds of years.

*tac tac tac*

Chairs, rugs, and knives moved and returned to their places as if nothing had happened, leaving the terrifying-looking corpse alone on the floor.

”...Sigh~ Two weeks, in only two weeks my left leg would have been completely healed... What a pity.” Richard finally spoke while looking at his missing finger knuckles.

Since the beginning of the fight, he did not raise his eyes to look at the giant once, only saying goodbye to his limbs, he no longer remembers when was the last time he saw them whole.

The chair Richard was sitting on moved its backrest forward and gently patted his back, trying to console him

In turn, Richard gently wiped the armrest of the chair and spoke audibly, ”Itʼs okay Chairry, nothing new here, youʼll have to support me sit up again for the next few months though hehe, I know it must be hard on you. this wonʼt last forever, I promise...”

The chair shook upon hearing those words with a mixture of excitement and rage.
