God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

But he was quickly woken up when a clawed hand violently smashed against his face, lodging it deep within the walls.

GRAAAB!

Slowly, a hand tore through the hole he was knocked into and grabbed at his hair, dragging him out.

BOOOOM!

An incredibly powerful shockwave rippled outwards with immense momentum as Nolan\'s body arched backward.

Blood splashed forth like a tap, raining down on Quinn, whose evil grin widened to its absolute limit, reaching for his ears.

"How does it feel, Nolan?"

"Truth is, whatever you do, it\'s useless. I\'m simply beyond anything you have ever seen..." Quinn said as Nolan looked at him, his eyes flashing with a strange light as he observed Quinn\'s new form.

Right now, it was like the person before him wasn\'t Quinn at all, as he had undergone a significant change.

Quinn\'s body was now half solid—his right side, to be exact. It seemed just like his normal skin, with a bit of dark scales adorning his extreme left shoulder.

But the other side of Quinn\'s body…

It was anything but human.

It was dark, pitch black like shadows! No, it wasn\'t like shadows—it was shadows!

The other half of Quinn\'s body, from the half of his face to the extreme left side, was nothing but gently billowing shadows that came to form his second part.

Nothing could be seen within the thick shadow, and it seemed like an endless black hole as Nolan looked at it.

Slowly, the shadow arm was raised and placed on Nolan\'s chest.

But just like a shadow, it didn\'t rest on his chest; instead, it slipped into it.

Nolan\'s face quickly changed when he began feeling something wrapping around his own heart, tightening its hold.

"You know, Nolan, you\'re the first person who has forced me to use all four of my abilities. And just so you know, the one I love the most is my fourth ability—my Hollow Body."

"Half of my body that you see is real, and the other half is nothing but hollow shadow. My half-body possesses my physical form, but my second half possesses the ability to transverse the physicality of anything."

"It\'s just shadows anyway. It can\'t be hurt, it can\'t feel pain, it can\'t be touched. It is simply supreme. And what is most special about it is that..."

GRRRRHHHH!

Nolan\'s eyes flashed with red veins as blood suddenly spilled from his lips.

"Yes, Nolan. I can harden my shadow hand with just a little divine essence. And now that my shadow hand is around your heart, I can harden it and simply burst it into pieces!" Quinn whispered, and Nolan\'s eyes flashed with shock through the pain.

It was a bizarre ability that he had never heard of or even imagined before.

"Tch, you bastard!" Nolan suddenly screamed out, his eyes turning completely red, with veins popping.

"Ahhhh…" A moan of pleasure escaped Quinn\'s lips as suddenly white aura began oozing out from Nolan\'s body, immediately drilling into Quinn\'s shadowy form, lighting it up even more brilliantly.

It was what made Nolan so weak and helpless in the academy—his peculiar cursed ability.

And that was the fact that others could siphon his own divine essence from his body.

Now Quinn was siphoning his divine essence into his own body, further increasing his strength.

Nolan could see it as the shadow half of Quinn\'s body expanded even more!

"Don\'t you ever wonder, Nolan?" Quinn suddenly asked after absorbing all of Nolan\'s divine essence.

"Don\'t you want to know why I like siphoning away your divine essence every time I see you?" He asked Nolan with a genuinely interested expression.

"You probably don\'t know, but the truth about your divine essence, Nolan, is that it is very effective..."

"The effectiveness of your divine essence is three times that of mine, and the same applies to all other Celestial Heirs..." Quinn whispered quietly into Nolan\'s ear as his jerking body halted dazedly.

"Yes, Nolan. Your divine essence is abnormal."

"Abnormally special."

"If an attack of mine can only tear through a single wall before exhausting itself, then if I absorb your divine essence and fire the same ability, it would be able to rip through three walls instead of just one."

"That is how effective your divine essence is! That\'s what makes it so appealing to everybody."

"Because it boosts our strength."

"Isn\'t it ironic?"

"Such a thing, not being able to be controlled by you?" Quinn asked with a grin, but Nolan ignored that and instead asked a question that lingered in his mind.

"Then, why? If I\'m so important, then why kill me off…"

"There are only two reasons why killing you off will do me good."

"Firstly, I don\'t need you anymore and have lost interest in you. You no longer increase my strength, so I see no reason to keep you alive."

"Secondly, Nolan, your ability—your abnormality."

"I\'m not the only one that know about it."

"There are others, more powerful than I am, who have their eyes on your unique ability, and they are planning on taking it for themselves."

"Those people can one day become a thorn in my side, and there is nothing I can do to stop them."

"So the best thing I can do is make sure you\'re dead."

"That way you won\'t be useful to me, and you won\'t be useful to anyone after that too, and their plan to use you will never come to fruition…"

"Now, goodbye!" Quinn said with a devilish grin as his shadowy hand immediately solidified around Nolan\'s heart, and he began squeezing.

[You\'ll die in five econds!]

"Activate Crown of Kratos!!!"

Immediately, Nolan roared out as a golden light flared through the space.

Hundreds of runic lines appeared on Nolan\'s body as his hands grabbed tightly onto Quinn\'s shadow arms, almost like they were physical hands.

"What the—" Quinn screamed in shock, noticing Nolan\'s strange body. He tried to back off but failed!

The tight grip of Nolan\'s hands on Quinn was so strong that he ended up ripping apart his own arm just to retreat away from Nolan.

"You! Who are you?"
