Divine Path System

Chapter 1674 Limits

Varian wriggled in the grass, slowly lifting up his broken body. The foreign power inside continue to wreck him and stall the healing process.

Despite his tremendous power, Varian couldn't easily erase it. So, he summoned the sliver of life and sliver of death.

"...Are you serious?" The angel's eyes widened as she looked at the green and red lotuses in disbelief.

She turned to him with a burning gaze, as if she wanted to hear his answer. But Varian only let the lotuses wash over him and heal him back to his peak before stretching his hand to the angel. "Give."

"No, no, no. Why do you even have the slivers?" The angel grabbed his palm with both hands and looked into his eyes with an intense expression.

To such disconcerted expression from the ever calm woman, Varian responded with a plain "...Give."

The angel opened her mouth, wanting to argue with him about something but looking into his blank eyes, she sighed and put the medallion in his palm.

"Just save yourself from dy—"

He already left. The angel shook her head. As the guardian of Elysium was an ancient being who watched over the lives of countless beings, witnessed the change of eras and faced the world with a positive outlook.

Even though Varian's first reaction upon meeting her was violence, reading Varian's temperment accurately allowed her to survive.

And even though Varian seemed to be seriously injured every time she reached him, he always kept his power ready.

If she even tried to attack, he'd strike first. Despite all the injuries, he was strong enough to survive a few seconds against her.

Those few seconds would be enough time for him to heal himself adequately. From then, it'd only be a matter of time to kill her.

Of course, the angel never had any thoughts of harming him.

"It'd be better if fewer people died." Ariel had seen too many deaths in her time as a guardian. Even though she helped as many as she could, almost everyone knew she died.

She was respected all across Elysium for maintaining order and peace. But even with all her wisdom and power, she couldn't stop spurts of violence that would break out and claim lives.

If those deaths were inevitable due to the nature of living beings, the death of a contender aiming to challenge Nirvana was entirely avoidable.

"But a sliver holder is no ordinary matter."

Still, mustering her courage, she looked at him. Who could even make someone like this person despair so much?

Varian looked into her eyes deeply and said. "Aur De—"

The angel covered his mouth with her power, exclaiming. "Are you crazy?! Don't speak his name!" Varian flicked away the power and stretched his hand. "Give."

"...You can't keep doing this forever." Ariel spoke in a persuasive tone. Varian's gaze hardened. Ariel continued to speak what's on her mind. Others might've branded it a foolish move. But the wisdom accumulated over the years told her that Varian was the kind of person who would at least listen.

"I noticed the constant improvement in your condition. It stopped in the 135th round." Varian was reluctant to acknowledge the truth but he still nodded. [Dragon: 100/100 (+9)

Titan: 100/100 (+9)

Phoenix: 100/100 (+9)

Order: 100/100 (+9)

Chaos: 100/100 (+9)

Space: 100/100 (+9)

Time: 100/100 (+9)]

He should've broken into rank 2 already. He tried doing it multiple times. But the forbidden region, created by the Primordial God himself, barred any rank 2 from entering it. By extension, no one could reach rank 2 here.

Varian hoped to capitalize on his improvements and find a way to deal with the Spirit King. But he's already as strong as he could be and still failed miserably.

But he's not done yet. "Give." "Hey, will you at least stop? There's no improvement since the 135th time, you fight almost 200 more times with no more progress." Varian trembled lightly and growled like a beast. "Give!"

"..." The angel wanted to slap him in the face but even if she really tried, she wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Cursing him under her breath, she threw the medallion carelessly. Varian vanished once again.

The angel decided to stop trying to even teach him. Any sane person would've stopped after trying a hundred times. Even considering his improvements, trying two hundred more times was stupid.

But even stupid people had their limits. How long could keep doing it anyway?

Ariel decided to wait until he gave up.
