Solitary Sword Sovereign Part 2

The Might of Soul Regalia

She scanned the battlefield and saw thousands of souls waiting to be used. After licking her lips, she embraced the devastating potential of Soul Explosion, her outstretched hand releasing a torrent of ethereal energy. The souls within her grasp detonated, unleashing an explosive force that devastated the surrounding ogres. The intensity of the blast was a testament to her current level, wisdom, and intelligence, rending the flesh of her enemies and turning the tide of battle in favour of the humans.

But her power did not cease there. Her enemies found themselves subjected to the insidious forces of Soul Implosion. Her eyes, alight with sinister Intent, fixated upon a group of ogres charging toward her. In an instant, their bodies convulsed, their souls imploding under the relentless assault. They couldn't even scream in agony as their internal organs disintegrated, rendering them lifeless husks.

As the battle raged on, Letty's mastery over necromantic arts became increasingly apparent. Utilizing Soul Surgery, she wove her mana into intricate patterns, delicately repairing and modifying the damaged souls of fallen undead. Undead gained their strength from their souls; thus, if their souls received power, their bodies would revert back to their original state. The souls shimmered with newfound vitality, rejuvenated by her touch. Her healing prowess was evident as she continued reviving the fallen undead, bolstering the resolve of her allies.

In a display of her mastery over life and death, Queen Abyss invoked the power of Soul Transplant. She infused the soul of a fearsome demonic beast she had stored into a fallen ogre corpse. As the demonic essence merged with the lifeless vessel, an abomination of immense power rose from the ground.

An ogre tried to take advantage of the confusion and attack her from behind with a teleportation skill.

'An ogre proficient in spatial skills, that's rare.'

Sensing the approaching danger, she cast aside her robe, revealing her skin-tight attire. Her form, a witness to her beauty and prowess, emanated a haunting allure. With a command, she summoned the souls she had amassed, fusing them together into an ethereal armour. The Soul Armour quickly enveloped her body, granting her impervious defence against both physical and magical assaults. The ogre's soul was casually destroyed by her after its attack was nullified by Letty's Soul Armour.

Empowered by the souls at her command, Letty infused their essence into her own being. The surge of power granted her extraordinary physical attributes, amplifying her strength, agility, and endurance. The Soul Armament transformed her into a formidable force, her every movement resonating with the amalgamation of souls within her.

Guided by her insatiable curiosity, she delved into the memories of fallen souls. Through her mastery of Soul Scan, she assimilated their experiences, merging their knowledge with her own. She harnessed this new wisdom, implanting memories into other souls, forging a collective consciousness among her undead army. Alice was a great assistance during this process because, without her, it would have been impossible to even attempt Soul Scan, as Letty's mind was nowhere near strong enough.

As the battle raged, Queen Abyss felt her mana waning. With a deft gesture, she siphoned the lingering souls of the fallen, replenishing her reserves through the process of Soul Infusion, reinvigorating her magical prowess in the face of relentless opposition.

The battleground transformed into a symphony of chaos and death, but Queen Abyss remained an orchestrator of doom. Utilizing her mastery over the souls of the fallen, she wove a complex web of energy, forming a Soul Vortex. The souls danced around her, coalescing into ethereal checkpoints that spanned the battlefield. With a flicker of her hand, she vanished from one checkpoint, reappearing in another, defying the limitations of space and time.

As Queen Abyss wielded her formidable arsenal of necromantic spells, the ogre horde faltered under the weight of their own demise. Fear crept into their eyes, confusion clouded their minds, and the corpses of their fallen comrades erupted into devastating explosions. The humans, emboldened by her indomitable power, cheered her name as she singlehandedly carved a path of destruction through their monstrous foes. The ogre stronghold was now exposed right down the centre, the very centre that had once been the focal point of their army. The humans quickly took advantage of the situation and launched an intense offensive. Pushing back their foes and managing to reach the walls of the stronghold.

The battle had only taken a few minutes to change from a battle on the plains to siege warfare! This was the might of an SS+-rated skill wielded by a Necromancer!

Letty, Alice and Duke kept getting drunk on the feeling of unending experience. The first target of the experience was Alice. Alice's computational skill was the basis of everything. As their mind, the stronger she was, the more they could do. It only took minutes for Alice to reach level 99. Then the experience was directed to Letty. As the source and bridge of Soul Chain Share, her increase in strength allowed her to improve the effects of the spell. This, in turn, allowed Alice and Duke to contribute and receive much more.

The last to receive experience was Duke. Once he reached level 99, his body reached the minimum requirement to fully access Hou Yi's legacy. Although his physique was still not a yang physique, at least he was no longer lacking from a quantitative perspective, and his body could now hold much more energy. Be it mortal or divine.

Since Duke represented the body in Soul Chain Share, his upgrade allowed Letty to also contain much more energy as she was the focus of the spell. This allowed her to exhibit far more than what she could previously do.

Having a stronger mind allowed her to cast her skills with better proficiency and multitask better. She was able to transition between each chapter of Soul Regalia with ease.

Soul Infusion allowed her to absorb spells from the surroundings to replenish her mana. Now that she had stronger vessels, she could absorb much more soul power and replenish her reserves. Duke's physical boost was particularly useful as it increased how much energy she could contain. Her mana capacity improved greatly, allowing her to go all out without worrying about expenditure in the short term.

Through Soul Scan, she already knew the layout of the stronghold and how to take it down in the shortest possible time. Through her connection to Alice, she distributed the information. Alice shared the knowledge with Duke, who borrowed Alice's computational power to strategize accordingly. After coming up with a new plan, the information and new plan were distributed to the other information-type classes to distribute to their own troops via their own telepathic links. Within a few minutes, every user on the battlefield knew their role and how it could allow them to win the war.

Using Soul Vortex, Letty teleported into the ogre stronghold. Soul Explosion could be used in a variety of ways, but the simplest way was to turn residual souls into concussive force. Letty carried with her a large concentrated mass of souls into the stronghold and teleported to the other side of the gate. The moment she arrived, she released an explosion that killed hundreds of ogres in an instant and injured a few thousand. With a new supply of souls, she unleashed a chain reaction of Soul Explosions. Within ten seconds, the entire plaza behind the gate had been left unmanned, the ground tainted by the blood of thousands of ogres. With plenty of souls left for her to use, Letty eyed the gate with a vicious glare.

She quickly cast Soul Armour and Soul Armament. These two, when used in conjunction with Soul Infusion and Alice's superb mental power, allowed Letty to exhibit a physical battle prowess that most warriors at level 99 could only dream of. Her strength, agility and physical endurance allowed her to masquerade as a peak-tier body cultivator despite being a pure mage-type caster.

Letty focused and concentrated a large amount of negative energy on the surface of her fist using Soul Infusion and Soul Armour. Then she struck the large metallic gate!
