The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Almost instantly, Karsha appeared in front of the waterfall in the Queen's Embrace. Since his level-up during the blood expedition, he had become exponentially stronger and faster.

His strength had multiplied tenfold, and he could now move several miles in the blink of an eye—a speed that only a few Sages could match, and even Great Sages would struggle to keep up with him.

"I guess I didn't suffer for nothing," he mused, reflecting on his harrowing battle with the Tier 12 Calamity Mutant. It had been a daunting fight, and he had narrowly escaped death, thanks to Lunar buying him precious time and Khinux intervening at crucial moments.

"I will make sure there's no next helpless time," Karsha vowed, clenching his fist. Determination surged through him as he dashed toward the waterfall, passing through it in a blur and emerging on the other side.

He stopped running and took a moment to soak in the breathtaking beauty of the place. The tree canopies created a lush, green ceiling overhead, filtering the sunlight into soft, golden rays that danced through the leaves.

The tranquil sound of the waterfall and the vibrant greenery made the place feel like a hidden paradise, untouched by the outside world.

Moments like these reminded him of why he fought so hard—to protect the beauty and serenity of places like this and to ensure that he and his loved ones could enjoy such moments without fear or danger.

He had failed once but never again. This time, he is determined to cleave through the heavens, raining blood in his wake.

Whoever comes against him or his family will face his wrath. Right now, he has people scheming against him.

Although he doesn't fear them, he has people he wouldn't want to implicate, and the only way to do that is to become stronger. With absolute strength, Nobody will dare to lift a finger.

Karsha walked closer to the stone tablet and sat down, his mind heavy with the tasks he needed to accomplish. This time around, he had a lot to do and very little time to do it. The challenge was daunting, but Karsha thrived under pressure.

His primary goal was to raise his elemental affinity for Light, Darkness, Water, Wind, and Earth to the High or Excellent stage. He had already procured enough cores for this task, a crucial step in his journey. Although he had only 120 days in the outside world, a seemingly impossible time frame for absorbing so many cores, Karsha had an advantage. He possessed the Soul Ring, a powerful artifact capable of absorbing thousands of cores in mere minutes.

Second, once his elemental affinity for the wind element reaches the High level, Karsha will be qualified to start comprehending the Lightning Phoenix Drive technique for his Bone Wings. During the battles of the blood expedition, he witnessed the immense power of his wings, but he also realized how little control and experience he had with them, not to mention the lack of technique. This time, he was determined to master the Lightning Phoenix Drive so that next time, he would be fully prepared to unleash its true potential.

Third, Karsha obtained a technique when he fought Nedin back on the island. This technique was something he fell in love with after he unexpectedly triggered a mutation while Nedin was using it. Originally an Ice-type skill, the mutation opened up a whole new world of possibilities for him. Karsha planned to experiment with all his elements, aiming to fuse them into the technique if possible. It was a mad idea, but he wanted the best outcome, and no matter how difficult the path, he was resolved to walk it to the end.

Fourth, he planned on adding two more elements to the Dark Prince Hell Art. According to the system, he could only add three elements for now. Once he obtained all nine levels, he would be able to add the remaining elements. Currently, the technique was already several times more powerful after he had imbued his Golden Light element into it, raising its power significantly. But Karsha wasn't satisfied. He wanted to make it even more terrifying. The next time he faced a Tier 12 mutant, he wanted to be confident in his ability to kill it in a single strike.@@novelbin@@

Fifth, he planned on rebuilding his swordsman foundation. He didn't know how yet, but he trusted the system to have a solution. His current battle style was effective, but according to Elara, it was the weakest she had ever seen.

This critique had initially broken Karsha's heart, but given that Elara hailed from the Primordial era, he could only sigh and follow her instructions. Once he rebuilt his foundation, he could start comprehending the way of the sword.

He had gained some knowledge from the statue during the blood expedition, and coupled with the system's guidance, he believed he would successfully rebuild his foundation.

But aside from these five major goals, Karsha also had some minor things he wanted to take care of. First was his Fire Beam skill. Currently at 'SS' Mastery, Karsha wanted to elevate it to SSS or SSS+ and, if possible, even SSE rating before the sect competition.

Although he didn't require that much firepower to handle most of his enemies, he knew this time could be used to prepare for his upcoming quest. Killing the Guardians would be harrowing, and he wanted to be ready.

Another skill he wanted to enhance was the Crescent Ice Strike. He planned to raise its mastery to SSS. Once he achieved that, he aimed to elevate its Tier to 20.

The skill had immense potential, and since Karsha wanted sword skills for all his elements, he chose this one. Having the ability to switch between elements would come in handy during critical moments.

Then there was the Call of the Storm skill. His current Mastery was at 'A,' and its Tier was 18. Karsha knew it had the potential to surpass even Fire Beam.

With his mastery of lightning at the Excellent stage, he realized he had gained something profound yet again. He had been relying on Fire Beam too much, and having a variety of skills was crucial. Call of the Storm was a skill he knew he could depend on.

After these three, there were also the Agni Infernal Dominion and Ice Queen's Wrath. So far, Karsha hadn't paid much attention to these skills, but when he used the Phoenix Rebirth ability during the blood expedition, he saw something remarkable about them. He wanted to explore these skills further and, if possible, acquire more skills like them.

For Ice Queen's Wrath, Karsha planned to use it in conjunction with the Sader's Ice Strike Technique.

With the freezing abilities of the Ice Queen, he could wield the skill anywhere, even in the most hellish conditions. He knew that there might come a time when he couldn't use his sword, and having such a versatile skill would be invaluable.

Aside from these, there were also his flute lessons. Karsha was determined to master the art of playing musical instruments, specifically the flute.

He had obtained a sinister flute and was keen on using it to its fullest potential. Although it was just a Heaven-grade treasure, Karsha knew that anything from the Unknown Emperor was far from simple. He planned to unlock its full potential.

There was nothing more sinister than playing music while opponents drew their weapons against each other.

Who wouldn't find that unsettling? It was also a clever way of hiding his true strength, only revealing it when necessary.

Appearing as a music cultivator would undoubtedly come in handy in various situations. He had already bought some music books and was eager to dive into them.

Once all of this is done, Karsha will turn his focus to his glaive. He didn't want to use it like an ordinary kitchen knife.

He planned on buying a technique specifically for the glaive. Karsha wanted to unleash powerful attacks with his glaive even if it was just a Heaven-grade technique.

Afterwards, he would turn his attention to his third eye. The Death Beam skill he received had been neglected.

He had even forgotten about it during his battles. With this skill and the Eternal Demon Gaze clearly in sync, he could unleash terrifying attacks by mastering the Death Beam to a higher level.

"Ha, I really have a lot to accomplish and less time to do it," Karsha mused. Aside from all this, there was also his movement technique, which he planned to advance. Though he wasn't planning on reaching the third level just yet, he aimed to fuse the eight variations into four.

Last time, he had to deal with tens of thousands of connections; this time, he knew it would be even more challenging. But Karsha was ready to give it a try.

Now that his Earth element had begun to rise, he wanted to reconstruct the Titan Walls and Fortress. He planned to rebuild the foundation and make it even stronger before using it again. Next time, not even an attack from a Great Sage would be able to shatter a single layer.

Finally, with the ability to send skill books to the Subspace, he planned on synthesizing more skills and strengthening his domain. He had received thousands of skill books from the sect elders. That stockpile was enough to create dozens of skill books that could be added to the Red Eye Tiger skill.

With that many skill books, it would only be a matter of time before he gained an even more terrifying domain.

"This time, when I unleash my fury, the whole world will shake," Karsha smiled sinisterly. He planned to leave the island a completely different person. Each task came with its share of danger, but strength was what he required now, and he planned on becoming as strong as possible.

Karsha retrieved dozens of different types of cores and was about to absorb them when a voice entered his head, "Are you seriously going to continue ignoring my existence?"
