Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen-Chapter 182: Greeting Death

Alas, the fun between Rin and Erix didn't last long because, after five minutes, Erix's source suddenly entered a self-defense mechanism, preserving all life power and turning Erix into a skeleton.

More precisely, Erix was turned into a faint dark gold skeleton, not white.

"Damn it…" Rin cursed as she felt Erix's dick suddenly disappearing.

"Sorry, babe," Erix said with a chuckle, causing his jaws to cackle.

"What can we do?" Rin kissed his skull's forehead and wryly smiled, "Time for you to focus now."

Rin stood up, and her figure was quickly covered by light pink pajamas made by Lily using a mix of Mist and Wood elements with her mastery.

Erix initiated teleport as both of them arrived on Rin's Serene Spot.

"I'll get Death soon."

"Get it," Rin grinned.

Erix teleported and went to the Serene Spot under a tree.

Reinala and Kelia also sat on different Serene Spots to meditate and train.

Lilith wasn't present, but she soon arrived after ten minutes and took out a meter-big slab of meat.

On the empty central area of the cavern, Lilith took out cooking items and conjured Mystic Chef stove and knife.

The stove lit up in a blue flame, but Lilith did something that made it turn into a dark orange flame. Afterward, she put in some leaves and edible plant-life veggies. These were Tier-2 and Tier-3 edible veggies.

While Lilith was preparing meat and other things to cook dishes, time slowly passed.

An hour later, the breakfast was ready, but Lilith just closed the dishes and sat on her Serene Spot before taking a scroll.

But before she could start comprehending the scroll, she abruptly paused, and her eyes showed surprise.

Turning her head towards Erix, she saw that Erix was oozing out faint black motes from his dark gold bones.

Rin's eyes also opened as she sensed it and turned to Erix.

"Is he awakening it or some phenomenon due to his source?"

Lilith smiled, "So far, it looks like he is awakening Death Affinity, but it won't be easy."

Just as Lilith finished, the black motes around Erix suddenly scattered.

"Darn it," Erix cursed as his skelly figure faintly glowed.

"I thought I got it, but it was wrong about Death," Erix said.

"Continue. Don't waste time because it might take more than three days for the next skeleton transformation," Rin said.

"Yep."

Erix turned to the front and entered deep focus again.

The others also resumed their training.

But after ten minutes, Erix snapped out of his focus and resolved to do something drastic.

He pierced a hole into his life orb, which was now black and glowed faintly at the center of his chest. Since he was a skeleton, it was clearly visible in this form.

But the hole he made and maintained was quickly seeping away all the power from his life orb as Erix started feeling weak.

Lilith's eyes shot open, and she vanished, arriving a meter away from Erix.

Rin's eyes also opened, and her figure blurred into a lightning flicker while Lily also appeared beside Erix.

On the other hand, Erix was, in fact, nearing true death.

'What is he doing?!' Rin hissed in anger and worry.

'Erix…'

'Calm down, you two, and just focus. Protect and support until he is done.'

Lily and Rin focused and created barriers while Lilith also did the same, but was also prepared to fully heal Erix using her Bloodline healing skill that was equal to a high Tier-5 skill.

On the other hand, Erix poured all of his focus and activity on his fading consciousness. At this moment, Erix was at the weakest he had ever felt.

Even when he died the first time, he didn't feel it much because it was instant.

However, he felt himself nearing death and saw how his source was trying not to scatter away yet helpless regarding it.

If he died, his source of power would scatter.

'Death…I will die?'

Erix's fading consciousness registered this feeling of death, and he didn't see it.

Seeing Erix's condition, a glint passed through Lilith's eyes. She immediately used her Bloodline Healing skill to the best of her ability.

0.5 Life Orb.

0.3 Life Orb.

0.1 Life Orb.

And then, with Lilith's skill, his life orb instantly filled up.

100 Life Orb.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Erix deliberately greeted as long as he could death and returned.

Erix didn't even spend a second on other things and instantly focused on entering deep meditation.

The girls wanted to give a piece each to Erix but left him alone to continue his comprehension of death.

And he was making massive progress as visible.

These dark gold bones once again oozed out mystical black motes, and they increased stably this time.

In ten seconds, they increased enough to completely envelop Erix in it.

"Alright, it's confirmed now. His gamble paid off, and he managed to get what he wanted."

Lilith smiled.

"This cocoon of death is entirely made of Death element."

…

Half an hour later…

[Death Affinity]

_Realm: Alpha.

_Description: Ability to turn mana into Death Stream. Death Stream is an energy that eliminates life from anything. Death Stream can also turn into Death Wisps, which can open the realm of Undeath for the user to glean and wield death to their capabilities.

"Can you create Death Wisps?" Lilith crossed her arms.

"I can," Erix nodded.

"Death Wisps can activate powers related to death," Lilith said as two faint black wisps flashed in Lilith's eyes.

"I spent some mana and infused two Death Wisps into my eyes. Now, I can see the flow of death in the atmosphere. It will lead to the places with the most death power, and such places can quickly allow you to form Death Streams."

Erix's eyes also flashed with two black wisps as he immediately saw a big flow of death going to the corner of the cavern where Reinala buried the bodies.

"You can also use Death Wisps to take a dead corpse under your control, but I don't use this part of Death Affinity often because I've exclusively created a few skills of Death-element combining with Blood and Darkness element and they are enough," Lilith smiled.

"Teach me everything you know, and I'll learn it all," Erix laughed in anticipation and eagerness.

Lilith's Death Affinity was one of her two most powerful affinities. It was at 4th realm!

As such, she started teaching all the tricks and workings of the Death element.
