The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 469: Boost in Strength

"Anyway, human, what do you think about joining my race? Although it might be true that you will not be in the same position as the members of my race command but definitely, you will be just below them. You will be able to command the armies of all the sea monsters. What do you think about this deal?" Ezekiel asked as he continued standing in the air, looking down at Henry.

Henry on the other hand was of course not pleased with the fact that there was somebody that was looking down on him. Of course, he possessed his own pride, and that pride of his did not allow another person to look down on him, no matter how strong they were.

Without hesitation, he immediately elevated himself, and rose to the same level as Ezekiel. Ezekiel could not help but raise his brows a little the moment that he realized that Henry was coming up.

But then, his expression suddenly shifted the moment that he realized that Henry did not actually stop on the same level as him, but instead, he had actually moved a little higher, and he was the one that was looking down on him right now.

Of course, with the thought that his race was superior to the human race, how could he accept the fact that there was a human that was looking down on him? Immediately, he was completely displeased, and his aura immediately erupted.

Henry felt the suffocating pressure that was coming from Ezekiel. It might be true that the two of them were in the platinum rank, but even then, there was a difference of seven levels between them. For that reason, although Henry was extremely strong, the difference between the two of them was not something that he could simply ignore.

"Human, I had already given you a chance, but it doesn’t seem that you like to cherish it. But even then, I will give you another chance. You better get down there, or I’ll make you get down by myself." Ezekiel stated in a cold tone.

Henry did not respond at all. Instead, he immediately began preparing himself for a fight. Since they belonged to different races, that implied that they would definitely fight against each other no matter what. Since that was the case, he had already decided that he was going to fight.

So far, he had actually not used his full strength for quite a long time. So, perhaps this was a chance that he could utilize his full strength when fighting another person. The difference between them was extremely huge, but even then, Henry was definitely not to be underestimated.

First of all, he possessed the title Supreme Slayer. With that, with every level that the opponent that he was facing was above him, there would be a 10% increase in his strength. Additionally, it could actually be accumulated.

That simply implied that since there was a difference of seven levels between him and Ezekiel, Henry’s strength had already been increased by more than 70% of his original strength.

Of course, that was not all, considering that Henry was definitely not just as strong as his level stated. It might be true that the difference between level 1 of the platinum rank and level 2 of the Platinum rank was more than just 1+1, but even then, Henry’s increase in strength was definitely not as simple as 1+1 as well.

Leaving that aside, there was yet another title which was the law breaker. With this title, Henry had already gotten another 50% increase in his strength due to the fact that he was actually defying what was supposed to be happening right now.

Since a superior race had actually offered an olive branch to him, he was actually supposed to agree considering that the chances of him winning against Ezekiel were extremely low. But even then, Henry was not willing to submit to another race considering that he was not willing to be below anybody.

Of course, the 50% increase in his strength was the 50% of Henry’s total strength after the 70% increase of his other title, the Supreme Slayer.

So in just a moment, Ezekiel suddenly realized that he could feel that Henry’s strength was actually increasing. The reason why he could detect something like this was simply because Henry was allowing him to do so. Otherwise, had Henry not began releasing his aura, it would have definitely been impossible for him to be able to detect that Henry was having an increase in his strength.

Ezekiel frowned as he looked at Henry who was still standing in the air. At the same time, he could not help but think to himself, ’Could it be that this human is actually hiding his strength and is slowly revealing it?’

Ezekiel was contemplating on Henry’s actual strength considering that he could not actually see through Henry at all. And currently, he felt that Henry’s strength that had originally been at level 3 of the platinum rank had suddenly increased, and it was currently at level 5, and it was actually still increasing.

Of course, what Ezekiel felt was not Henry’s current power level, but instead, Henry was still at level 1 of the platinum rank. It was just that the strength that he possessed was definitely already at level 5 of the platinum rank due to the accumulation of all the things that he possessed including the titles.

Ezekiel squinted his eyes as he looked at Henry. At the same time, he thought to himself that, no matter what anomaly he was going to meet during this stage of the apocalypse, he did not believe that it was going to be stronger than himself. In any case, even if Henry was actually at level 5 of the platinum rank, that did not imply that Henry was definitely going to be capable of dealing with him.

Completely different from Klaus, Ezekiel possessed more skills, and more mastery over the skills that he possessed. Additionally, he possessed many benefits from the family due to the advantage that he possessed with his talent.

For that reason, his combat strength was definitely way above an ordinary level 8 platinum rank mutant warrior.

Without showing much change on his face, Ezekiel looked at Henry and said, "It seems that I will have to take you down myself. But believe me, it is definitely not going to be a smooth journey for you to go down."

Ezekiel was still thinking of recruiting Henry into his own race. If they actually managed to get a human that was this strong at this stage of the apocalypse, that implied that they were definitely going to get quite an advantage during the later stages of the apocalypse.

Additionally, with the fact that Henry had managed to reach this level at this stage of the apocalypse, that implied that he definitely possessed quite a few secrets. If those secrets that he possessed were useful to his race, that implied that his merits in the family would increase, and with that, he would definitely receive many rewards from his father.

Thinking of that, Ezekiel did not give Henry much chance, and immediately attacked. He did not use anything flashy, but instead, he simply clenched his fist, and flew towards Henry at an incredible speed.

Booom!

A small explosion occurred the moment that Ezekiel moved due to the speed that he possessed. The speed at which he was approaching Henry was incredible, and due to the fact that the distance between them was not more than 10 m, Ezekiel arrived in front of Henry in almost an instant.

Henry had already been preparing himself for Ezekiel to make a move. He understood that the members of the other races definitely possessed their own pride and arrogance. So, since he had gone ahead and looked down on him, that implied that the other party was definitely going to make a move.

But even then, he was actually surprised by the speed that Ezekiel moved at. Of course, he had already known that Ezekiel was stronger than him, but even then, he had not expected that Ezekiel was going to be this fast.

The current disadvantage that he possessed was the fact that he could not see what skills Ezekiel possessed. That implied that if the fight between the two of them occurred, he would have to deal with it as soon as possible, without giving Ezekiel much chance of revealing the trump cards that he possessed.

Reacting at an incredible speed, Henry raised his hands and placed them in front of him. That was the only thing that he could do, considering that he could not dodge due to the speed at which Ezekiel had moved.

Bang!

Ezekiel’s fist connected with Henry’s crossed arms. Immediately, the sound of the collision between the two of them echoed in the air.

Henry who had just received the attack felt the hands that had blocked the attack trembling, and a sense of numbness spread throughout his hands. This was just enough to demonstrate the physical strength that Ezekiel possessed. After all, Henry was definitely not weak in terms of physicality.

The moment that the attack connected with Henry, Henry was immediately forced to retreat a few meters backwards. But even then, he did not drop from the air, and continued being on top while Ezekiel was below him.

Ezekiel was also slightly surprised the moment that he realized that Henry had actually survived the attack that he had launched. Although he had not utilized any skill, he had actually used his full physical strength.

Even those at the same level as himself would definitely suffer the moment that he attacked them using his full strength, but now, Henry had actually managed to survive the attack without suffering much damage.

"It seems that I will have to start taking you seriously." Ezekiel stated. Then in the next moment, his blue eyes suddenly began glowing with a red light, the same as the way that Klaus’s eyes glowed the moment that he arrived from the wave.
