Chapter 226: Secret Of The Kratos Family
KABOOOOM
A devastating shockwave rippled through the world as a punch slammed toward Shima’s face with horrifying speed.
“Shimmering Apostle Art: Second Form, Shimmering Barrier…” The words escaped Shima’s lips, as Zeras fist smashed against the barrier.
CRACK CRACK CRACK BOOOM
Immediately, cracks appear on the barrier quickly spreading around it before it explodes to pieces.
Immediately, Shima exerted strength in his left leg, easily moving backward ten meters.
Immediately his leg stepped down, he got in an air-tight position, his swords held tightly behind him before…
BOOOOM
The ground below him caved in as he disappeared right in front of Zera’s eyes.“Shimmering Apostle Art: Third Form: Shimmering Star Strike…”
Immediately a gigantic beam of golden light burst out from Shima’s sword appearing instantly in front of Arcules whose eyes widened to saucers.
“Fast… it’s too fast.” The sword beam was like a beautiful illusion of a golden river gently flowing towards him, but reflexively, his axe appeared in his hands as he cleaved forward towards the attack.
There was no resistance at all.
Immediately, Arcules was sent reeling into the distance, his legs carving massive gorges on the ground.
Soon the image of Zeras and Shima disappeared as he was being pushed farther and farther away by the sword light.
“Tch, he’s trying to push me away and deal with the strong one first?” The thought rang in Arcule’s head causing a red vein to appear in his forehead.
“I was initially thinking I won’t need to use this but you gave me no choice…”
“Limiter Unlock, First Limiter, Limiter Of Strength!”
On Arcules body, veins suddenly appeared all over his body wriggling around like a worm exposed to salt.
His legs rose into the air for a few seconds before he forcefully slammed it on the ground stopping his backward motion.
“ROOOOOOOAR”
Shockwaves blasted out from his mouth as he exerted all his strength into the axe and the sword light was immediately cleaved into two like a knife through butter.
“AHHHHHHHHH”
White gas spread out of his mouth, as he felt the explosive strength contained in each of his veins.
Immediately, he turned his gaze towards the distance as he got down in a crouched position.
BOOOM
Dust rose where he stood in the shape of a blooming lotus as he disappeared into the distance.

Shima watched the young man flying into the distance snorting coldly to himself…
“Tch, weakling!”
For some strange reason, he could sense danger from the brutish young man and was even starting to grow wary of him but seeing him sent flying into the distance from a single sword attack, he was quick to ignore him.
“Now, with your weakling friend gone, how about we finally go all out…” Shima asked as he slowly turned towards Zeras, his former Killing Intent replaced by incredible battle lust.
There was no fancy move at all. No trickery at all.
Cracks appeared beneath Zera’s feet as he once again delivered another punch lying horizontally In the air as he threw everything he had in the punch.
The wind around his fist howled, the ground rupturing and rumbling.
This was on a completely different level from his former attacks.
“Good. Really good!” A smile that widened to his very ears appeared on Shima’s face as he raised his sword.
Golden light immediately coated its blade, before slashing downwards with speed at the blue-scaled fist.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A mushroom of dust blew up into the air as Zeras took three steps backward, yet faded away from where he stood as his muscles wriggled and constricted within him before he released another heaven-shaking punch.
“Shimmering Apostle Art: Fifth Form, End Of A Shimmering Star…” The gentle whisper echoed through the air as a circular golden ball appeared in front of Shima’s blade.
Pointing the sword towards him caused the circular ball to move outwards towards Zeras, his punch inching towards the ball when suddenly he jerked back his hands as Zeras quickly retreated from the ball, sweat dripping down from the side of his head.
It was a strange feeling, a feeling that if he hit that ball, not even his ashes would be left behind!
“LEAVE IT TO ME….” The roar could be heard from the distance as a figure appeared in front of him in the next split second.
“ARCULES, NOOOOOOO!!” Zeras screamed out in shock as he watched Arcules cleave both axes at the ball!
Immediately, his axe dug into the ball, only leaving a gash but it didn’t even reach the middle before what Zeras feared greatly started happening.
The ball started getting larger and larger and more Chaotic,.no doubt exploding soon enough
Yet Arcules never retreated a single inch as he roared out loudly!
“Limiter Unlock; Second Limiter: Limiter Of Speed!”
To Zeras, it was like Arcules suddenly grew a hundred more arms as he slashed with so much speed, he left phantom of a hundred axe in the air and completely sliced apart the ball into bits before it could explode, causing it to simply drift into the dust.
Right in front of Zera’s shocked eyes, the ball that he sensed would reduce him to ashes was easily diced to pieces by Arcules.
“How… How did you suddenly grow so strong.” Zeras asked unable to conceal the pure shock on his face.
Looking at the back of the slowly rising Arcules, he could see the horrifying red and dark veins that wriggled in them, filled with an unbelievable amount of strength.
His skin was like cared from a mountain, becoming unbelievably hard like a rock and Arcules just standing there gave him the impression of a standing brute god!
He gave off so many dangerous vibes hundreds of times worse than formerly revealed.
“How interesting, you possess the Power Of Limiters? No wonder I could feel my hair rising at the back of my head…” Shima said chuckling to himself as he turned to look at Arcules.
“The…The Power Of Limiters!!?”
“The Power Of Limiters!!?” Zeras asked dazedly.
“Yes. The power of Limiters. Judging from your shocked expression. I can tell it’s pretty rare back in your homeworld…” Shima said as Zeras directed his attention towards him.
“The Power of Limiters is a special power that can only be used by a limited few even in the upper realm.
It is said when some people are born, they are born with greater strength than others. Therefore, limiters are placed on them by nature. Some of them will never learn of the power of their locked limiters till they die while only a select few would. But those who can unlock their limiters will be able to tap into their natural strength embowed to them by nature themselves. With this power, the one with the unlocked limiter would be able to easily defeat four others at the same stage as he is…”
“What!!?” Zeras screamed out In pure shock at hearing that as he turned to look at Arcules who strangely didn’t interrupt the conversation.
“Incredible right? That’s why some people who say nature is fair to all are pretty much stupid. Even nature had its favorites. But while the power of Limiters is truly unbelievable, they have their fatal weakness and that is that they suck away life force from their user.”
“Life force?”
“Yes. Life force! The energy nature stored in their body is limitless! The more they try to tap into the energy, the more their life force is taken. Some would expend all their life force and still not be able to tap into half the energy stored in them.”
Shima paused slightly before continuing.
“The Art of Unlocking the Power of Limiters is a forbidden art even in the upper realms! As for how you were able to get your hands on such an art, it truly surprises me. Anyone with the art would be able to easily raise a vast expanse of extremely powerful soldiers. I have really been given quite the shock today from you low-lives…”
Zera’s eyes already widened to saucers on hearing what Shima said about the potential of the art making him turn to give Arcules a second look.
‘So this is the secret of the Kratos family. They possess the secret art of unlocking Limiters. The Kratos family ability is Limiters!’
The information was close to unbelievable judging by how rare Limiter users are even in the so-called upper realm. It was no wonder the Kratos family could reign the number one among the Nine family geniuses.
But what shocked Zeras even more was Shima who didn’t seem much bothered about Arcules being a limiter user.
“I’m surprised you know all that and not quivering in fear yet…” The voice boomed out of Arcule’s mouth as he slowly got into a battle stance.
“Just as I said, Limiter Users are powerful, but they exchange life force for their power. At most, you will last a minute before turning frail and dying.
