Chapter 389 Looking Through The Scrounger
After synthesizing some skills, I finally got another Ultra Skill called Eye of Providence. It was a very convenient skill that let me see through almost everything. With this new skill, I could now look through Edith and take a peek at the one who gained control of her body. I narrowed my eyes, looking at her, and then I immediately activated one of the abilities of the Eye of Providence called Heavenly Gaze. ===============

Just as I thought, the name of the one who possessed Edith was Melville, a child of Rubina. She was a Cambion with a Nightmare as her mother and a Dragonoid father. Her level was over sixteen hundred, frighteningly powerful. With her STR and AGI so proportionally high, no wonder she was hella strong and fast, making each of her attacks packed with ridiculous momentum. With her stats alone, I did not think that Azrael could really handle her in terms of pure strength, but I personally had higher level, base stats, and total stats than her, although it was all thanks to the bonus stats I gained from God’s Vessel and Overlord of Sins’ Gluttony. “How can you pull off a technique like that?!” She yelled from afar, furious at me. Her voice echoed. “You dare to wield a scythe despite primarily being a swordsman?! Don’t make fun of me!” After that, she used Wing Blast to propel herself, and she reached me almost instantly. I already unequipped my scythe beforehand, so I was able to catch her pair of adamantite daggers with my ebony longsword and block them, creating a powerful shockwave as a result.
Clink!
While we were engaging in a melee fight again, I put my main mind into my subconscious to analyze Melville thoroughly. As for her skills, she got three Ultra Skills, namely: Monarch of the Night, which she surely inherited from her mother; Divine Dagger Art at Level 5 mastery, for which she got the Dagger Saint title; and a few World Magic spells. Among her skills, the one that intrigued me the most was her unique skill, Scrounger. From the information the Heavenly Gaze provided, it was an ability that gave the user the power to take over someone’s physical body, regardless of race or gender. The user could use their full power while inside the body, no matter how weak the vessel was, which was true from what she had been showing so far. Not only that, but the user could tap the powers of the vessel themselves, though they could not wield both bodies at the same time. Unique Skill: Scrounger would be scary if the user chose to take over a powerful being. In the spiritual aspect, the user could choose to keep the soul of the vessel or assimilate it with them, turning the soul into nourishment. But my Heavenly Gaze could detect that Edith’s soul was still there and was apparently conscious. According to Akashvani, using spiritual attacks also inflicted damage on both the souls inside, so it was not a good idea to use soul-damaging attacks on her. I thought that I could actually hurt her body and then heal her once all things had settled.
Fortunately, the scrounging was not permanent, and they could be separated in a way I called comical, even in this fantastic world of monsters and magic. I had all the things I needed to separate them, and one of those was one of the abilities of my newly acquired Eye of Providence. But it required a lot of focus, and the target should stay still. All I had to do now was restrain her and render her immobilized.
Clink! Our battle raged, and the deafening sounds of clashing metal rang out in the forest. We caused severe damage again, but all we did was scrape each other’s skins. With my sword, I could move faster and more comfortably than with the scythe. Knowing that spiritual attacks damage both of their souls, I concluded that I could intentionally inflict damage to her body as long as I did not hit the soul. But her wounds immediately healed. I exerted all of my strength and parried her away from me. Not wasting any opportunity, I fired some magic spells at her. “Windstorm Prison.” A violent storm of sharp and fast winds was immediately summoned around her, and it did not take long for it to form a prison dome of deadly winds that was capable of mincing the target into a red mist. I had put the Sloth upon her to hinder the casting of her spells and techniques, preventing her from countering the prison. As she was struggling to cast her spell, I laid my free hand horizontally in the air, clawed my fingers as if grabbing a baseball, and waved it up once. I channeled a large amount of magic, and then a fifty-meter-wide magic circle was formed on the surface below her. My spell was ready to rise. “Sea God’s Kiss.” Once the magic circle was cast, water started to gush out of it and quickly made its way to Melville like a huge inverted waterfall. Instead of running violently, the water’s surface was smooth and the tension was unbroken, yet the water flowed fast, calmly, and silently. As the water was about to reach the dome of deadly winds, the water spread out. Its shadows enveloped the winds, and in a split second, I cancelled the Windstorm Prison before the water swallowed the Cambion whole. “Eternal Ice.”
Upon casting a Level 9 Water Magic spell, the water started to solidify into ice rapidly. In a matter of a second or two, all the water froze and turned into solid ice. Due to its bone-chilling temperature, the one-kilometer-tall ice structure had even condensed the water vapor in the air, and snowflakes precipitated over the area. Since it was made of Eternal Ice, its temperature almost reached absolute zero, and it could be melted or broken by almost any means; even the purple flames of the Infernal Flame could barely do damage to it. Even though its name states eternal, its ice could last at least a week until its layers started to melt painstakingly slowly. This one could at least make it for years. However, I was not sure if it could immobilize Melville long enough for me to execute the separation. Grabbing the opportunity, I launched my upgraded clairvoyance and went through the ice.
