["As dark-attributed angels, we can use our dark holy energy for energy attacks. It can even corrupt the body and mind of mortals."]
[Imbuing his dark holy energy into his long-handled battle scythe, Morvane tightly gripped the handle as the blade of the battle scythe became sharper.]
[The long-handled battle scythe became coated with the dark holy energy, further strengthening and sharpening it.]
[When enough dark holy energy was imbued into it, Morvane flew downwards, descending towards you. Before he reached you, he forcefully swung the battle scythe towards your direction.]
[After swinging the battle scythe, the dark holy energy contained within it seemed to be released all at once, causing a scythe-shaped energy wave to lock onto you.]
[Due to the inherent death-attribute that the feather of an Angel of Death possessed, the scythe-shaped energy not only possessed immense dark holy energy, but also the death attribute.]
[Any mortal hit by it would undoubtedly die. Even if they wouldn’t, any injuries caused by it would ensure that the death attribute imbued in that attack would prevent healing and recovery.]
[Faced with that all-out attack that seemed to be Morvane’s last resort after his Death Authority’s usage became restricted, you naturally treated it seriously.]
[’This energy attack has already reached Half-Step Crystal rank. Even an Initial Crystal rank mortal who is sensitive to the death attribute would be seriously injured if this attack grazed them, let alone if it hit them squarely.’]
[’However, for me, I can still survive this attack even if it hits me. The attack power isn’t enough to kill me, and the death attribute contained within the attack is insufficient to kill me.’]
[’After all, as an Arch Human, I possess the innate ability of Adaptive Evolution. At least, an attack of this level isn’t enough to override my Adaptive Evolution’s recovery and adaptation.’]
[However, despite that, you didn’t underestimate Morvane’s attack. Going all out, you didn’t hesitate to use your bloodline magic to the fullest.]
["Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary!"]
["Boundary of Target and Non-Target!"]
[Under the effect of that boundary manipulation, you no longer became a valid target.]
[Because of that, the scythe-shaped energy attack thrown at you didn’t even need to be dodged. Even if you stood there, it would "miss" by default.]
[However, you weren’t satisfied with just that. So, you cast your bloodline magic again.]
["Boundary of Direction and Reversal!"]
[The scythe-shaped energy attack that missed you soon changed its course. It’s forward motion reversed into that of backward motion.]
[As its trajectory shifted, you made it so that its direction headed to where Morvane was, essentially locking onto him.]
[As if that wasn’t enough, you forward your hand, and you used your multiplication fairy fruit ability, "Size x1000! Trajectory Speed x1000! Attack power x1000!"]
[Before Morvane could dodge, the scythe-shaped energy suddenly became a thousand times larger. Moreover, due to the increased trajectory speed and attack power, Morvane couldn’t react in time.]
[Much to his helplessness, the attack he threw was not only reversed back at him, but it was even stronger and faster, tearing him into shreds and killing him!]
[Under Jade, Scarlet, and Astraea’s gaze, they witnessed Morvane dying by his own attack!]
[However, Jade, as the referee of this duel, wasn’t worried about Morvane’s life and death. After all, as a temporary train crewmate, Morvane was still granted by you the buff of the Passenger Safety Mechanism.]
[Even if you didn’t do anything, it wasn’t his turn to die.]
[Despite that, you didn’t want Morvane to waste his revival chance of the Passenger Safety Mechanism. So, you used your bloodline magic again.]
["Boundary of Past and Present!"]
["Boundary of Life and Death!"]
[Using those two boundary pairs at the same time, you managed to resurrect Morvane.]
[As if time was rewound, the place where Morvane had died soon reversed like a video being played back.]
[The only difference was that Morvane was not only brought back to life, but the attack that he had thrown wasn’t reversed back from the past with him.]
[Due to the death attribute imbued into his attack and the fact that you increased its potency by a thousand times, you also had to use the Boundary of Life and Death to ensure that Morvane would be successfully brought back to life.]
[Your proficiency in using Absolute Boundary had already improved, allowing you to control it with surgical precision.]
[Because of that, not only was Morvane’s attack not brought back with him into the present, but he was fully resurrected without any lingering injuries.]
[In fact, he was full of life and vitality, making him look as good as new. The hidden injuries he had from hastily improving his power rank due to impatience and lack of resources had been fully healed, much to his surprise.]
[After several seconds had passed, Morvane realized what had happened, so he immediately conceded, "I lost this duel. I’m convinced. You’re way stronger than I am, and you even managed to heal the hidden injuries I had."]
[With Morvane’s concession, it proved that you had successfully fulfilled Morvane’s first requirement.]
[Moreover, Morvane was truly interested in joining your Zenith Train Crew. So, he had no plans of going back on his word, acknowledging his defeat.]
[After you resurrected Morvane, he stated, "You’ve completed my first requirement. Now all that’s left is the second requirement."]
["It’s up to you when you’d complete it, but it’s better done as soon as possible. If we delay it, those bastards from above might notice my suspicious activities and catch wind of my defection."]
[Although it wasn’t unusual for Angels of Death to accompany their Death Papyrus User, it was still suspicious for them to follow a Train Conductor inside the train.]
[After all, a Train Conductor has full control and permissions over their train. Anyone stepping inside the train of a Train Conductor would be tantamount to courting death.]
[As Train Conductors, you and Jade have home-field advantage as long as you are inside the train. The Train Conductor Authority you both possessed wasn’t just for show.]
[An Angel of Death entering a train would undoubtedly attract suspicion of colluding with that Train Crew.]
[Knowing that, you nodded at Morvane, "Don’t worry, I’ll start preparations and complete the second requirement tomorrow at the latest."]
