Ares couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him.

It was a whole new ball in the game.

His cheeks became red, not due to the punch that Shiva made but due to the embarrassment.

Who was he?

Ares, One of the Twelve Soul generals.

And that too he was the 5th strongest among them.

for existence such as himself to be getting hit by a kid who hasn’t even climbed past the 10th floor.....was there something more humiliating and embarrassing than that?

He was in total confusion.

He saw Shiva unscathed even after taking so many of his hits,

’Is he the same brat that was getting knocked by a mere flick of my finger?’

Even more unbelievable fact was that he was actually getting hit by him.

’How the hell is he hitting me? it was not supposed to happen.’

In the first place, the quest itself was a scam!

It was total bullshit, the quest was bound to fail from the movement it was given.

There was no way that someone who hasn’t even surpassed 30 years as Shiva could stand up against him much less defeat him, who lived for hundreds and thousands of years.

He was supposed to crush all his hopes and dreams by making him stay alone in the dungeon for a year to test if he would lose his mind or not, drowning in the loneliness. and if he was still fine after a year he would act like a Saint giving him a ’second chance’ to obtain Soul stone, where he would provide a much easier quest for him.

The One-year impossible quest was just a cover to train his soul under the harsh condition of Morgue.

But was happening now....!

Not only did he not show any symptoms of being alone, but now he was also able to somehow withstand his blows!

Where did everything go wrong?

An invisible shield was blocking all of his attacks just before they hit Shiva!

’was that a fluke?’

It was normal to think like that since his pride as one of the Soul generals wouldn’t allow him to accept the fact that he wasn’t able to land a hit on Shiva.

The weak blow that didn’t even hurt me became a massive blow to his pride.

Shiva who noticed that he was spacing out took the chance to land another punch on his face.

"Are you really spacing out now?"

His voice contained a trace of mockery towards Ares.

"Don’t tell me that the great Soul general was only capable of this much?"

His constant provocation made Ares lose all his reasoning, he lost his cool and became extremely enraged.

"Brat! How dare you speak ill of this great self"

As expected of Ares, who lived for thousands of years, he quickly overcome his situation and showered a barrage of attacks on Shiva with all his power!

Thud!

thud!

Each attack made a sound of a Sledgehammer hitting the ground!

But the result wasn’t anything different...

Shiva still stood unscathed smiling as if nothing happened!

’This is amazing! I thought it would at least deliver the force behind the attack but to think it would completely cancel out all the force!’

He was beyond amazed by the effect of the skill.

’So this is the power of SSS rank skill! ha...kind of remind me of a good novel I used to read...those were some good times...’

Now he was completely ignoring Ares thinking about some random sh*t.

Ares stopped his barrage of attacks noticing that shiva was still unharmed.

Not even a scratch was left on his body.

Are finally backed down after much struggle!

He looked at Shiva as if he was seeing the one who killed his parents. He nodded himself as if he decided something.

"Don’t regret you forced me to do this!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He suddenly started spouting such nonsense.

Ares lifted his right hand murmuring something!

"Vengeance Soul rush"

A ball of pure white energy started to form at his right hand’s tip and gradually increased the concentration.

"Descend on this wicked soul"

He threw the ball at Shiva as if throwing a baseball to the ground.

The ball of energy rushed towards Shiva at an incredible speed and collided with a powerful impact!

Boom!

The impact of the explosion shook the air and space around the collision, as the dust covered the region.

"That should have taken care of him!"

Ares spoke his mind looking at the raising dust.

"It’s sad that I killed the candidate that appeared after thousands of years, but can I do? it was all his bad luck!"

He justified his actions himself. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard the hateful voice of the brat again.

"Is that the most you can do?"

the voice contained with blatant mockery was heard between the clearing dust.

"HOW??" Ares was doubting his eyes.

The clear soul of Shiva without even a particle of dust on him came to view.

’How the hell is he still fine?’

<Vengeance soul rush> It was his ultimate skill, not even a Soul general would be able to come out of it without injury if used on the. But this bastard! The bastard, who he thought as nothing but a bug, the one whom he could have knocked down with just a flick of his finger until yesterday was now able to come out unscathed even after taking his ultimate move!

How can one become this powerful in just a day??

"Now that you had your fun beating me for the past eleven months, it’s my turn to have some fun, right?"

Shiva said as his red eyes sparkled with a glint of anger in the lightless night.

pow!

pow!

pow!

He held Ares’s head in one hand and started punching ruthlessly from another hand.

Pow!

Again.

Pow!

Again.

Pow! pow! pow!

He punched him continuously without even stopping.

Ares tried to retaliate but to no avail, none of his attacks even touched shiva as an invisible shield appeared right before he could touch him.

On that day, the twin moons on the lightless sky witness the beating of the Soul general.

Being a Soul general, Ares had great endurance. It was to the extent that it took Shiva a hard time just to knock him out by continuously punching him.

And finally... After three days of continuous beating, he finally gave in!!
