The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 495: Another Mutation

...the flames that were surrounding Clinton suddenly erupted. The strength of the flames had increased by more than two times, and even the color had changed.

The flames that were previously red in color suddenly turned completely white. According to the science before the apocalypse, red flames were definitely the weakest, followed by orange, white, and finally blue.

But the strangest thing was the fact that despite the fact that the intensity of the flames that currently enveloped Clinton increasing by a good margin, they did not go beyond those of Henry.

That was definitely one of the strange things that had happened so far. In normal situations, the red flame was definitely supposed to be weak as compared to the white flames.

But now, despite the transformation that had been undergone by the flames that Clinton possessed, they did not actually go beyond the ability of the red flames that were possessed by Henry. Additionally, the white flames were actually weak as compared to the red flames that Henry possessed.

Currently, the difference between the two flames was definitely not that big, but even then, there was still a standing fact that the red flames were actually stronger than the white flames!

Henry could only shake his head as he observed this situation. In any case, this was something that did not follow science at all. So, it was definitely not impossible to see that ice was hotter than fire, right?

Clinton on the other hand also experienced the transformation of his flames. At that moment, he suddenly realized that the strength that he possessed had actually increased by multiple folds. At that moment, he could not help but think about where he had come from.

Thinking of this, he could not help but smile a little. Thinking of the time that he would be able to go back there, he would definitely be able to surprise many people, well, dragons.

Henry on the other hand simply retracted his hand from Clinton’s forehead. Despite the fact that he was touching the flames that were currently surrounding Clinton, he did not actually feel them burning him at all.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that his hand was currently surrounded by his own flames, or due to the fact that Clinton was his summoned creature, but in any case, Henry was completely unharmed.

Henry had just retracted his hand when suddenly, he experienced that the flames that he possessed were actually beginning to transform. He could see that at the edges of the flames that were currently surrounding his body, a purplish shade had suddenly began taking shape.

He could not help but be a little surprised. This was definitely going to be the first time that he was going to see a purple flame. But even then, looking at that purple shade, it was so small as compared to the intensity of the red flames in general.

But in any case, Henry did not doubt that his flames would definitely turn purple after a while. That was what had happened to his previously yellow flames, that had turned red.

Perhaps this time he did not just lose a single skill, but he had actually strengthened his summoned creature by a good margin, and more than that, he had also gotten an unexpected benefit. If the flames that he possessed actually mutated further, he would definitely possess much more strength than he currently possessed.

After retreating, Henry simply continued observing Clinton. The intensity of the flames that currently surrounded him did not increase, but even then, the range at which the flames was expanding had increased by a good margin.

After just a matter of about 10 seconds, the flames that were currently surrounding Clinton had actually increased, covering a diameter of 10 m. It was only after they had reached a diameter of more than 50 m that they suddenly stopped expanding.

And as expected, they already bare ground could not handle the intensity of the heat at all. So, the ground had already been charred black. Even the vegetation that was in the distance was already being affected, and they began drying up.

After about 2 minutes, Clinton opened his closed eyes and looked at Henry. At this moment, there was excitement in his eyes together with reverence.

There was nobody else other than himself that could understand just how much he had improved by the single action that Henry had taken. Together with the strength that Henry possessed, Clinton immediately knelt onto the ground on one knee and acknowledged Henry as his master.

Previously, despite the fact that Henry was his master, he had not acknowledged him. But now, if Henry actually told him to do something, he would definitely do so, unless he was actually instructed to kill himself.

Henry did not have much change in emotions at all. Instead, he simply teleported out of the dungeon, and appeared within the territory that was located in Hillstown.

After that, he brought Clinton over. Of course, Clinton was still in his human form, and so, he did not attract that much attention.

Immediately, Henry instructed Clinton to head towards the direction that Olivia and the others were currently at. Of course, he simply gave him a map and the direction to follow. As for the appearance of Olivia and the others, that was not something that Clinton could miss, considering that the information about them had been transferred to him through the telepathic connection between them.

Of course, Clinton was not going to depend on just the map in order to get to know where Olivia and the others were currently at. In any case, the terrain of this world kept on changing time after time, and a battle between powerhouses would definitely be capable of changing a place completely.

So, Clinton was also depending on the connection that he possessed with Henry’s other summoned creatures that were currently together with Olivia. With that, he could vaguely tell which direction to follow, and immediately left the territory.

Since Clinton was already in the platinum rank, he could fly in the air. So, he did not have to transform back into his dragon form in order to fly. Due to his current power, Clinton soared into the air and disappeared in just a matter of seconds.

Of course his movements attracted the attention of several experts that had already reached level 9 of the Platinum rank within the territory, but even then, they could not tell who it was because they had only seen a shadow of a person suddenly flying out of the territory.

Although they were slightly alarmed, they believed that it was definitely Henry who had gone out. In any case, he was the only strongest person remaining, despite not being within the territory, that could actually go out. Of course, they also knew about his ability to teleport. So, it was not going to be impossible for him to teleport in the middle of the territory before flying out.

Henry on the other hand did not care about what others thought about the issue now. Instead, he went to the location where his family was. It had been quite a while since he had interacted with them ever since he had focused on trying to rank up.

But now, he had decided to take a simple break before going back to the dungeon to try to rank up. In any case, he was not going to give up, trying to rank up before the apocalypse moved on to the next stage. As for if he was going to be capable of doing that or not, that would depend on the effects of his efforts.

...

Two days went by just like that. Henry stayed together with his family, interacting with them, trying to rebuild the bond that existed ever since he was 10 years old and below.

James as usual did not like Henry that much. But even then, he could not hide the fact that he actually admired the strength that Henry possessed. At that moment, he had already turned Henry as his goal, but even then, he would never admit it openly in front of Henry.

Henry on the other hand did not really care much about the antics of the kid. To him, it did not really matter about what his younger brother thought about him. In any case, he could really tell that the younger brother that he had did not really hate him at all.

It was just a moment of displeasure that he possessed towards him, considering that Henry had come over, making him not being the only child of the family.

During those two days, Henry had of course visited Alicia. Currently, she was still sustained by the lightning domain talisman. But still, Henry could see that the effects of the domain were actually reducing as time went by.

Compared to the first day, it was definitely clear that the effects of the domain in sustaining Alicia’s consciousness had reduced, even though it was not by much of a big margin.

For a moment, Henry could not help but get a little anxious. It was not just a matter of the relationship that he possessed with Adam, but instead, it was also about the relationship that existed between him and Alicia before he was taken away.

Until today, the engagement between the two of them had not been broken. And so, Henry was definitely supposed to be responsible for his fiancee.

Henry could not help but for a moment, wonder if the next stage of the apocalypse was the solution to Alicia’s problem. After all, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to breakthrough and reach the next rank in a short while.

Additionally, he could not guarantee that something would not happen during the time that he was still trying to reach the next rank in order to be able to afford the item that could be utilized in order to restore Alicia’s consciousness.

But Henry had just thought about the next stage of the apocalypse when suddenly, he detected that some changes had suddenly occurred outside. Without hesitation, he immediately rushed out of the main territory building, leaving his dumbfounded family behind.
