The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Chapter 74 Infinity Healing

The healing fruit, though it may not look like much, is a powerful consumable treasure that many would kill for. It contains the water element, which, like most water elementals, is designed for healing. Typically, it is used to awaken water elements, but in Karsha's case, it has awakened more than just an element.

The healing seed is more than a mere catalyst for elemental awakening. As its name suggests, it is a seed that grows and blooms into a magnificent plant. The more the plant blooms, the more it yields.

In Karsha's situation, the benefits he will reap from the seed are akin to the plant blooming. As the seed matures, so too will the benefits he gains.

Of course, there's the matter of nurturing the seed. It's not an exaggeration to say that this seed is more than just a simple seed; it's a source of unimaginable power.

< Congratulations! You have successfully absorbed the healing seed. >

< You have awakened a water element: Healing Water. >

< Ding! Congratulations, your Rapid Healing passive skill has evolved. >

< Congratulations, your mastery over the water element has increased to; High. >

< You have unlocked a new passive skill: Life Force Regeneration. >

< Your Charm has increased significantly. +400 >

Many messages appeared before Karsha, but the system, knowing he wouldn't bother to read everything, only displayed the most important ones.

After absorbing the lightning fruit and the Absolute Fire Crystal, he awakened the Yin-Yang Lightning and Absolute Chaos Fire elementals. Now, however, he had awakened Healing Water.

The saying "water is life" was not an exaggeration. Indeed, the element he had awakened was primarily for healing. It had no aggressive side; its main and only function, as the name suggests, was for healing.

But that is where its importance lies. In the world of cultivation, items or artifacts with a single function are often regarded as inferior to those with multiple functions.

However, some items, despite having only one function, are still considered powerful in their own right.

For example, the fire element can be used in various ways: for offense, defense, and even healing in some cases. Even the water element can do that since it has different variants.

For instance, Arcane Water can be used for both offense and defense. However, Healing Water is solely for healing, which, in this context, does not even fall under defense.

But that isn't a problem. Healing Water is more than it appears to be. It has a great healing ability that can aid a cultivator in many ways. Of course, if someone without any offensive abilities awakens such an element, it might be considered a weakness. However, in the hands of someone like Karsha, the healing seed is a gold mine.

A warrior like him will benefit greatly from the healing abilities of Healing Water.

< Congratulations, your Rapid Healing passive skill has evolved to Enhanced Rapid Healing. >

< Enhanced Rapid Healing (Passive) >

-- Regenerate from any injury at a speed of 1000x per second.

-- Regenerate lost limbs and other body parts.

-- Recover Mana, Stamina, Elemental essence, and other attributes at a very fast pace.

Originally, the Rapid Healing ability only allowed for regenerating a small portion of attributes and mana. Now, however, he can regrow limbs. And that's not all—his mastery is currently at the High level. This means that if he masters Healing Water to even higher levels, he could potentially regrow a heart.

The significance of even just this passive ability is more than Karsha could have ever asked for. He has achieved what many spend years chasing simply by absorbing a seed. This seed has the potential to cause chaos in empires if discovered. Its value is so immense that it could disrupt the entire world.

If the Healing Seed were to be auctioned, it would sell for billions, if not more. Many powerhouses would fiercely compete to acquire it due to its limitless benefits.

Inside Karsha's dantian (core) now lies a seed that has already begun to grow. If nurtured properly, it could one day make him immortal even before he formally achieves immortality.

With the ability to regrow limbs and other body parts, who is to say he wouldn't be able to regenerate a full body from his soul after death? The prowess of the Healing Water is limitless, and Karsha has barely scratched the surface of its potential.

< You have unlocked a new active skill: Life Force Regeneration >

< Life Force Regeneration (Active) >

-- When your HP drops below 2%, all regenerating skills will stop, and you will gain a 2550x regeneration speed for 2 minutes.

-- When your life force is almost drained, 60% of your available HP will be converted to life force, remaining active until your life force is fully healed.

"Undead me," Karsha smiled happily as he read the description of his newest skill. The ability to regenerate life force is something few can achieve easily.

The power to restore the force that holds life together is beyond human understanding. When a child is born, they are assumed to have a full life force, which is 100%.

However, as they grow, their life force—determining their age and status—starts to drain until it runs out completely. When this happens, the person's soul exits their body and moves on to the next plane of existence, the spirit realm.

Life force is a mysterious energy that no one can confidently say they have figured out. It is beyond mortal comprehension, so no matter how talented an individual is, they would not be able to regenerate life force at will.

However, Karsha had just awakened an ability that defies the impossible. With this skill, he can recover his life force whenever it is almost depleted. In other words, when his life force falls below a critical level, he will receive an instant 60% recovery. If necessary, he can continue to exchange his HP for life force until it is fully restored.

If he chose to, he could remain in a state of perpetual youth, something that shouldn't be possible unless he attains divinity and becomes a god or immortal.

"There must be a catch to this," Karsha muttered under his breath. He stood up, stretched his body, and opened his eyes.

"Not to be rude, but why are you five staring at me like that?" Karsha asked, meeting the gaze of the five shadow guards.

"You... you, what have you done to yourself?" Ayarr asked in a startled tone.

"What do you mean?" Karsha inquired.

"You have become handsome again," she replied. She had witnessed Karsha's appearance when he first came to the island. She had also seen the gradual transformation as Karsha became more strikingly handsome.

His previously bony self had transformed into a more handsome young man who could hold his own with the ladies. While he might not be the most handsome man, he was undeniably attractive in his own right, and this transformation had occurred in less than two months.

Now, however, he had become even more striking. So handsome, in fact, that he could easily make the ladies swoon.

His eyes had undergone another change. The red hue now had a hazy golden tint. His skin had gained added smoothness, and his cheekbones had become even more refined, giving him a strikingly handsome look.

Despite Starr twisting his red hair into dreadlocks, it had extended slightly, cascading freely down his back.

His muscles had expanded somewhat, and he had experienced a slight increase in height. While he was a berserker, his growth in height and weight hadn't progressed as drastically as one might expect, but he was steadily moving in that direction.

His current height, akin to Captain America's stature, gave him a strong physical presence. At nineteen years old, he was still in the process of growing into adulthood. It would take some time before he reached his full potential as a true berserker.

"Well, lucky me, I guess," Karsha smiled bashfully. It's not every day a guy receives compliments about his handsomeness from a lady.

"We will be moving to Crystalisk next. We won't spend much time there, so let's try to get things done as quickly as possible so we can move on to the next place," Karsha added.

Though he had wished to explore these locations, now that he had acquired techniques that could bridge the gap between him and the overlords, he intended to train and deepen his understanding of these skills before facing them.

To achieve this, he would utilize the subspace where time ran differently from the outside world.

With his monstrous comprehension ability, which was crucial to mastering skills, he planned to dedicate as much time as possible to increasing his understanding and proficiency in all such skills.

He believed that with sufficient mastery, he would be able to defeat the overlords effortlessly. If it weren't for the Book of Annihilation and the quests the system had given him, he would have long ago entered closed cultivation to begin mastering his skills.

But for now, he needed to become stronger, and since the system seemed to be guiding him toward items that would further enhance his power, he had no complaints about that.

-----------------

And just like that, Karsha and the shadow guards spent the next three days moving from one island to another, killing and retrieving the items the system required of him.

He hadn't failed to retrieve any, so after three days of relentless battle, he finally assembled the Book of Annihilation and collected all eight items directed by the system.

"Why does it feel like I've been to this place before?" Karsha muttered under his breath as he and the shadow guards hurried away from the Eternal Abyss section of the island. It was the domain of the Abyssal Leviathan, the mightiest of all the Overlords.

"Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough..." Channeling more mana into the flying boat, they sped away as swiftly as possible. His next plan was to absorb all the items and train his skills and techniques.
