Chapter 88: Got you!
At the same time, he raised his hands again to connect with the smaller constructs, but black threads intercepted his own strings and cut things away.
He gritted his teeth and gestured with his hands. Strings hung around him, warping the air and forming a shield around him like the wings of a giant monster.
All the attacks thrown at the shield got repaired immediately.
Serenthar turned towards the carriage, the shield turning translucent. "Vacuse, you really are as troublesome as they said. The last time the Black Accord was in Kragthar, it was you that foiled the plans we spent a lot on.
"Unfortunately, I was away on some delicate assassination work, but now I am here. I will show you the true might of just one Black Accord member! I will let you know why they call me the master of the battlefield!"
With that, he raised his two hands, and above his head, just above the shield, something began to form. It was a large beast the colour of old leaves, with countless legs.
The beast looked like a worm as it squirmed in the air above him. Silver light bathed the beast. The light spilled down around Serenthar and merged with the shield, turning everything into a shiny, egg-like cocoon.
Vacuse frowned from his place. "He’s going to join form with his beast for a shift. This isn’t good."
After all, partial shift or full shifts will boost the original ability of the Soulbearer, and the higher the rank, the more power they would be able to draw from it.
Baleful aura erupted from the cocoon, sending a ripple of energy washing over everything around them. Those who were not the same rank as Serenthar felt as if their own energy was being forcefully suppressed.
Deepbonded Resonant is the fourth rank in the Advancement Stage, and it is considered a mid Advancement Stage. Combined with the A-rank beast,
Serenthar is an elite and a powerhouse that should be able to defend a large town easily. Even in the Dragon Guards that are known as elite, only the captains are at the Deepbonded Resonant rank, along with some occasional prodigies.
