BXBX NOVEL Chapter 560 - Somber Victory I
When the ten-minute mark passed, Yewdrassil finally returned to its seed form and rose towards the heavens once more. The odd thing that happened is that Adrian and Levin Cloud did not transform back. They found it odd, but it is also the effect cancelling immunity of the Void Demolition skill.
The two best friends have yet to turn back to their normal selves. The energy that they are also accumulating is still as strong as when they started. Adrian and Levin Cloud has found out a loophole in the synchro skill although they can only use it once they reach level 300 again to test if the same situation would be true.
The Wilde Flower also started glowing and the energy that it produced is sent to the enormous pool of energy that both Adrian and Levin Cloud are siphoning. The remnant red aura that the Wilde Flower holds is transferred to Adrian\'s death energy while the flower itself sent some energy towards Levin Cloud\'s life energy.
[The Wilde Flower has assisted Levin Cloud in accumulating Life energy.]
[The cast time of Void Demolition will be reduced by one minute.]
[The Blood of a Grim Reaper has provided enormous death energy for Adrian\'s accumulation of Death Energy.]
[The cast time of Void Demolition will be reduced by one minute.]
The cast time being reduced by two minutes is a huge help for the entire party. The soul copy is also easier to target, and they could definitely kill the world boss just by targeting that. Creepysoo gave them a way to win the fight with the world boss.
"We just need to finish casting and it will be our complete victory." Adrian and Levin Clou thought as their eyes glowed on an eerie but powerful light. They might not be able to speak but their real forms show their emotions with gestures or quirks.

Fenris could not believe that he is now tied up in this area. He also gets hurt because his soul copy is an easy target. He could mitigate the damage to an extent by completely consuming the souls of those he has eaten. The only problem is that his own soul would become unstable if he continued doing it.
"I shall not fall like this!" Fenris stated as he finally consumed the soul that he kept as his trump card.
The soul of the avatar of a dark god that visited him has yet to be fully consumed. He might have recovered some of his strength when he ate that cursed soul but even the world boss fears that his own soul would be polluted. Even he has slight fears of what might soul will become is he really fully consumes a distorted soul.
Fenris consumes the soul by breaking it down and integrating it with his own soul. That soul will become part of his own soul which means the unique characteristics will be copied as well. This is the secret of the ability to consume the abilities of others by eating them. This ability will not work if the soul of the eaten has left the body.
Fenris already received the ability to create false bodies by offering a lump of the flesh of those that want a copy. His enraged eyes could not help but see his soul copy. That very copy will be the thing that will save him from his defeat as he needs to make another copy of himself.
Fenris consumed the rest of the souls that he eaten except for the avatar of the dark god. The world boss did that in order to restore his life back to 50%. This is the real ability of Fenris which is why some of his abilities do not cost mana or have a cooldown.
As long as the world boss has souls to consume, he could cast his crowd control immunity skill indefinitely. Healing wounds would be another matter as that will consume more souls which is why the world boss could only heal back to half health. Fenris immediately bit his bleeding body and took out a lump of flesh from it.
[Fenris, the world boss of The Wilde, has been restored back to full health.]
[Fenris, the world boss of The Wilde, sacrificed 25% of its health to use Flesh Animation.]
The world boss then threw this flesh towards the soul copy that is inanimate. As the flesh travelled forward, it started growing and growing until it fused with the idle soul copy. Lycan, who is about to attack the soul copy, got hit back in return. He did not take as much damage though as a copy will surely not be as powerful as the original.
[Fenris, the world boss of The Wilde, has used Flesh Animation and recreated a copy of himself.]
[The Flesh Copy has been given 25% of the world bosses\' health.]
[The Flesh Copy will only have 60% of the original\'s stats but full 25% health of the world boss.]
"There is two now?" Kabrakan grumbled as he is already extremely exhausted from blocking just one. He is already sacrificing his health so that the effect of Beastification is empowered and lengthened.
"I will join as well. Blood Queen!" Solstice stated as she also joined the battle but the full moon in the horizon only boosts his strength by 50% unlike when there are moonless nights which vampires get 100% bonus stats. She also used 50% of her own health to purposefully vanish the cooldown of one of her skills.
She collected the blood from the battlefield once more and fashioned them back into weapons. Peridot then noticed that the soul chain that connected both the original and the copy still. It means that they can still damage the original as long as they defeat the copy.
If they defeat the copy, then Fenris will become more vulnerable as it is basically destroying a piece of the world boss\' soul. Saena did not hold back and released every status ailment that she has took in her body. Fenris might have been immune to them but that does not mean his copy would not.
[Saena has spread the Curse of Weakening and it affected the Flesh Copy (Fenris).]
[The Flesh Copy (Fenris) stats will be reduced by 5%.]
[Saena has spread the Toxic Curse and it affected the Flesh Copy (Fenris).]
[The Flesh Copy (Fenris) will receive 1% total health damage every minute. This curse can be dispelled using an antidote or with cleansing. This curse cannot kill the target and will be lifted if they lose 10% of their total health.]
[The Flesh Copy (Fenris) has resisted the Slumber status ailment.]
[The Flesh Copy (Fenris) has resisted the Paralyze status ailment.]
Even though the copy is inferior, it still has resistances that can help with becoming immune to status ailments. Fenris used the chance that he bought himself by attacking the remaining two overlords which are his greatest obstacles. If he kills the two overlords, then he could easily wipe out the other enemies.
Since there are two of him now, Fenris decided to split his forces as he attacked the two overlords at the same time. Since the Storm Vulture has yet to fully recover, the real Fenris tasked himself with killing her first. He sent the copy to play with the Grand Toad and distract him.
Fenris tried to pounce on the Storm Vulture, but he is met with the Selvaggian King. King Leonidas filled all his fist with his fury and hit the unsuspecting world boss. Fenris noticed immediately and changed his angle to attack King Leonidas, but the fist of the Selvaggian King extended and showed the image of a lion.
"Fist of the Beast King!" King Leonidas stated as he and Fenris clashed mid-air.
"Fool! That is but a distraction." Fenris stated as he pounced once more.
"I only needed to distract you." King Leonidas stated as the voice of the two best friends is heard in the battlefield.
"May you be returned to nothingness! Void Demolition!" Both Adrian and Levin Cloud stated.
King Leonidas crashed to the ground with a smile on his face despite his arm being pulverized. Fenris looked at the direction of the beam and saw that he his not the target but his soul copy. The world boss did not pay great attention to the copy as it will not greatly affect him.
Fenris saw his soul copy being pinned down by the eastern overlord and Adrian\'s soulbounds but he must finish his objective. If he kills the Storm Vulture, then he could recover his health once more. Fenris aimed for the neck of the western overlord unknown to him that he has sealed his fate.
The beam of cosmic energy that can delete anything is headed towards the flesh copy and struck true. Everyone that pinned down the flesh copy all avoided the beam as told by the two best friends. It could also hurt them as it does not have a concept of friendly fire.
