Atticus stared calmly at where Elderish had just been hovering, not saying anything for some seconds.
Just as it seemed nothing was going to happen, multiple orbs of light suddenly ignited in the sky, and with them, eight shimmering cores came into existence.
'He's gone.'
Elderish had bonded with the Regenerari Core, pushing his regeneration to a staggering level.
Because of this, every lethal attack he received would instantly heal. However, that advantage was rendered meaningless for one reason: Will.
Fusing with his Soulkin had spiked Atticus' Will to a level even greater than Elderish's. And with a higher Will, Atticus could now pierce through Elderish's defenses and allow the layered fusion energy on his katana to make direct contact.
Every part of Elderish's body, down to the cellular level, was erased before regeneration could even begin.
And just like that, Elderish died.
Atticus turned his attention to the cores hovering before him.
