Chapter 604: Me, A Terrifying Assassin?

"... Death essence is falsely viewed…"

Zelsh's words were replaying in Oli's head while comparing the techniques. 

"... Any cultivator with dark essence can gain death essence… But death essence isn't necessarily stronger than dark essence…"

Oli replayed those phrases over and over, determined to find a connection between the techniques. He felt so close to an epiphany… yet it was impossible to determine whether that was just a gut feeling or a fact of reality without verifying the connection in the first place.

The drake relentlessly scanned over the techniques. After a few minutes of study, Oli held them both up to his face, one in each hand. 

*So… if death essence is more like a broad form of essence nature…* Oli's mind was overclocking while searching for the answer he longed to discover.
