Crazy Necromancer in the Ruined Tower
Chapter 85: Last effort
"You are here again?"
Are who was gazing at the twin moons hanging in the sky blankly said as he turned around.
"Was it around 340th time?"
He asked placing his hand on the chin.
"347th"
The cold voice of the young man devoid of any emotions was heard through the silence of the night.
"huh?"
Ares was surprised, not because of seeing him but hearing the confidence in his voice this time.
" It has been exactly the 347th time I am challenging you"
Ares was reminded of the past few months when Shiva constantly pestered him to fight!
Well, it wasn’t even a fight in the first place. Shiva would constantly struggle against him trying various things but with just a single hit from him, he would be knocked out with white fomes in his mouth.
"well...That wasn’t a challenge..." He said in a low voice that was obviously ignored by Shiva.
"Be prepared, I will clear the quest no matter what today!"
He was burning with determination.
"Yeah.....Yeah! you have said that more than a hundred times already"
Ares brushed it off thinking about all the provocative words Shiva had said, he had gone as far as to curse his parents.
"It’s different this time!"
Shiva shouted reminding everything he had been through in the past months!
After the skill was raised to S rank, it became increasingly difficult to raise its proficiency not to mention the massive mental exhaustion he has been feeling!
He couldn’t sleep no matter what he tried. that’s when he remembered the time when he was knocked out by Ares.
what if he couldn’t sleep, He could always be knocked out.
That’s why he persistently went after Ares and, got knocked out smilingly.
And he wasn’t just ideal for all that time either, he constantly used the skill but it was increasingly difficult since the proficiency increased only a bit after bit, not to mention could only use the skill only twice a day.
He wasted all other time either talking bullsh*t with Oldsage and Nicholas or getting knocked out by Ares.
But everything was not in vain.
His effort of constantly enduring this boring place for nearly eleven months finally bore fruits!
The Skill evolved again!
But unlike his imagination, it didn’t evolve into SS rating but completely became a new skill.
He remembered the time when the Skill evolved.
<The Proficiency of the skill ’Soul Reap’ has reached 100%>
<The skill is evolving>
<Due to training the skill when being in Soul form, a mutation is induced>
<The aura of ’Soul Stone’ is affecting the upgrade of the Skill>
<Morgue, the world of Souls itself is providing a boost for the Upgrade of the Skill>
Various buffs and environments stacked together, influenced the evolution of the Skill, and as a result-

Two new skill and a new title! One Ex and another SSS at that.
The first skill in itself was amazing even if we ignored the backlash that would occur. Anyway, the skill was enough for him to hope for a winning chance against Ares.
But the new Title and the skill! If it was in a normal time it was just another useless title since he couldn’t even attack anyone being on soul form. but now!
He had literally became an immortal now! He could now fight back against Ares, against whom he couldn’t even last a single attack previously.
He looked at his updated status.

"Hehehe", Shiva smiled creepily as he looked towards the goat flying in the air.
Ares who looked at his creepy smile became alert!
’Why is this creep smiling like that? I have a bad feeling about this’
As he came face to face with Shiva, he felt a odd sense of suppression from him.
’What is this feeling? does my soul reached it’s limit now?’
The invisible suppression he felt, he thought of it has his own weakness instead of Shiva’s ability.
’Let’s rest a bit after settling this brat!’ He thought as he instantly appeared in front of Shiva and flicked his forehead like he did countless time.
"Time to rest no....!!"
He was about to go back when he noticed that his finger was stopped by a invisible barrier.
"I said it will be different this time" The indifferent voice of the brat whom he knocked out hundreds of time, he felt a chill hearing his voice now.
He immediately backed away without wasting time.
’What was that?’ His mind was in confusion sensing the invisible barrier around Shiva.
"Now...now...don’t chicken out, common, try punching me" Shiva provoked him showing him his cheeks.
Even though he himself allowed be knocked out so many times, the pain still remained, every time he felt like a sledgehammer hitting his forehead.
"I will take revenge for all that hits!"
He Shouted letting out all the pent up frustration.
"Seems like you managed to pull some tricks, but don’t worry I will put you in place soon"
Shiva scoffed at his comment,
"Try it"
"Then I won’t stand on ceremony"
His tuxedo coat flung open as he travelled at extreme speed towards Shiva, This time he didn’t try to joke and made a fist and drowned him in the shower of punches.
But the result....
He was absolutely fine!!
"You hit me so hard that I knocked out every single time..."
His voice was heard in the middle of his raining fists..
"Have a taste of my punch once"
Thud!
Shiva punched Ares right in the cheeks as the barrage of punches stopped.
The punch hit him hard...not physically but his pride as a Soul General was massively hit.
