All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents

Chapter 505: Chapter 269: The Difference Between Level 9 and a God

Everything in existence should have a corresponding limit, especially when it comes to the act of devouring.

Lu Cang wanted to test just where his opponent’s limit lay.

Since this wasn’t a battle to the death, he didn’t need to be too guarded. He was free to go all out.

Lu Cang looked at the Date of Death above his opponent’s head.

The man had already lost ten years of his lifespan since the battle began.

Unlike others with whom he had no grudge, this man was a believer of Aertemi. Lu Cang had no intention of letting him go.

WHOOSH!

A long gust of wind howled—

Magic Power swirled like a vortex, continuously pouring into his opponent’s body. Lu Cang could visibly sense him getting stronger.

Stronger and stronger!

Lu Cang saw his Magic being torn apart. Two sharp, scimitar-like blades had materialized in his opponent’s hands! The blades were so sharp that they cut through Magic as easily as tearing through a canvas!

He cleaved right through the Magic hurtling toward him!

’Oh?’

’So he doesn’t just absorb magic, he can also destroy it?’

Lu Cang raised his hand again, unleashing even more Magic!

An overwhelming deluge of Elements rained down!

But his opponent only moved faster and faster, tearing through the Magic with increasing speed!

’To think he has this kind of combat power.’

’All this Magic, and I still can’t suppress him right away... The bane of Mages. He’s certainly worthy of the name.’

Had it been anyone else, they would have died long ago.

However, while his opponent seemed to be standing firm, he was actually still being suppressed.

Ice and water already coated the surface of his body.

His skin began to tear.

His flesh started to break down!

This was Body-Penetrating Stinging Water.

At the same time, the sky full of ice and snow seemed to reflect his past.

Seeing the shards of Ice...

It was as if he were seeing his own tragic history—the past where he joined the Rose of Shedding Skin and became a Skin Taker.

To become a Skin Taker, one had to be fully conscious while personally peeling off one’s own skin.

And now...

That pain was reflected in his eyes!

Stirring up endless memories.

"No... I’m not in pain anymore!"

"I’m already a Skin Taker! I don’t need to go through something like that again!"

"Right now, I..."

He snapped back to his senses!

Only to find his body engulfed in roaring flames!

"It seems this is your limit."

Lu Cang’s voice came from behind him.

He whipped his head around and saw Lu Cang’s figure extremely close to him.

He suddenly recalled what had just happened.

’I was clearly in a fight, so how did I suddenly start reminiscing about the past?’

’An Illusion Technique?’

That momentary lapse in concentration was all it took for him, who had been barely holding on, to finally be overwhelmed by the deluge of Magic!

Flames blazed up around him!

His doom was sealed...

"It seems the amount of Magic you can devour is ultimately limited."

"Otherwise, you should have been able to devour even the Flames burning you right now."

Lu Cang watched him with a placid expression.

His detached tone was like someone recording experimental data.

In that instant, the man felt like a laboratory mouse.

The gap between them was so vast, it could only be described as Lu Cang toying with him.

’Heh heh...’

’Toying with me?’

’This physical body of yours... is actually acceptable.’

’It wouldn’t be a bad idea to offer it to Aertemi as a vessel for Her descent into this world...’

’Losing to him proves his worth, in a way.’

’There’s no loss in losing this battle.’

’After all, everyone gets one chance to challenge someone.’

’If I die, I die. The outcome here doesn’t count as a true victory or defeat...’

’Once I get out and return to the real world, I’ll come and peel off your skin.’

Lu Cang quietly watched as his opponent’s skin was destroyed in the Flames, crumbling and dissipating into dust and ash. The man even seemed to be smiling before he died.

At the same time, the man’s Date of Death also reached zero.

’I was curious to see how he would actually die after being killed in this space where death is not supposed to occur.’

Just then, a hazy, chaotic figure raised a hand from within the gray mist.

It intended to bring the Skin Taker back to life.

But as it raised its hand this time...

A slightly puzzled voice emerged from it.

"Huh?"

"It seems someone has received him, allowing him to temporarily leave this Special space."

"He has withdrawn from this event."

There was a hint of regret in Aigemisa’s voice.

’Oh, so this must be what happens when one’s Date of Death arrives.’

’A pity I couldn’t witness his death firsthand.’

Then, Lu Cang looked up again.

Aside from Aigemisa, who was an illusory image and not a real body, making it impossible to see a Date of Death...

...every other person here also had a countdown to their death.

If he wanted to...

...he could actually kill them all right here.

However, just using his gaze would take some effort. Staring for a few hours would only kill a few people.

Staring at them for an hour would only reduce their lifespan by fifty years.

And he had no grudge against them.

It wasn’t worth the trouble.

Lu Cang retracted his aura once more.

He had thoroughly enjoyed the three battles, all against Inheritors of Divine Spirits. This was in keeping with his principles of combat.

If this were in the past...

...battles like these would certainly not have been enough for a perfect promotion.

But now, it was more than enough.

Suddenly, another voice called out, "I challenge Yelieya."

’This time, they’re not challenging me?’

Lu Cang followed the voice and saw a young woman with long, straight black hair facing Yelieya.

’This person...’

’She must be from the Dark Church, the Inheritor of Naraku, right?’

’I heard the Churches of Light and Dark have a good relationship.’

Lu Cang quietly began to withdraw, but then he suddenly heard several more shouts.

"I’m challenging that guy, Adela!"

"I’ll challenge Lida!"

All at once, everyone else began to choose their opponents.
