“It’s here” three men stopped right before a giant structure. The structure that bared their way was a large earth dome.
“Are you certain” one of the men asked? He had a mole at the corner of his mouth and he spoke with a slur. He stood in the middle, and posed the question to the man on his right.
The man on the right nodded. He had a huge nose that occupied most of the space on his face. He pointed confidently at the earth dome to show that it was the target of their search.
“He can’t be wrong. The devices master gave us are always accurate. This is where their auras disappeared.” The words came from the last member of the trio; and the only lady in the group. She wasn’t spectacularly beautiful, but she was still very pretty. She was confident that the device that their master had given them couldn’t be wrong.

Abelard frowned as he gazed at nothing in particular. Something had drawn his attention. He could feel two robust auras heading his way. “Great. It’s like an elimination match.” He grumbled as he summoned the armor he had just put away. He was cloaked in the black combat suit in next to no time. The auras were approaching quickly. Clearly the newcomers had set out immediately one of their men died. In this case it was the woman who kicked the bucket first. However there were only two people coming. Abelard assumed that this was the last batch. After all, they couldn’t keep sending people to their deaths.“Let’s get this over with before Mane gets here” Abelard stretched in the combat suit as he prepared for battle. The incoming auras were stronger than the auras of those he had just killed. He didn’t need his impressive brain to tell him that those coming were definitely stronger. He wouldn’t be able to deal with them simp
“Strange fellow” one of the new entries commented as he dusted himself. The other who was just getting up agreed with his partner’s assessment, “Yes”. They could feel the energy of the young boy. It was only at the 6th level of the above-mortal realm; yet he had dealt with profound realmers and even killed them. Although they were mostly unharmed by the earth mines, they felt the power of the sneaky little trap. If they were a bit slower to protect themselves or even a few levels weaker, they would have been done in. “Don’t underestimate him” one of the men warned. The other only nodded his head in response. There was no way he would underestimate someone who was so tricky.There was no visible change around Abe after he activated his glow, but that was only on the outside. He could feel his connection to the earth elements grow stronger than it was before. They felt like family. It was almost as if he could pull them
Dust covered the previously clear battlefield. Nothing was as obvious as it was before. The two profound wielders couldn’t see each other; they could only feel their presence by listening to the rhythm of their breathing. They closed their eyes for the previously vital organ was a mere burden under the current circumstances. With their eyes closed and their senses heightened to the utmost, they slowly parted ways, each one choosing a different path with impressive coordination. This was amazing to witness because although they both had their eyes closed, they understood what needed to be done. They had clearly been partners for much longer.Abe sat with his eyes closed as he slowly gathered inner energy. His glow had been deactivated, and he was using this time to recover some of his strength. He was injured. And his injury had reduced his battle ability to about 75%.“They have separated” Abe analysed as he sat within the dusty dome. The best way to
Abe gasped for breath loudly. He was exhausted. The sneak attack had stolen much of his inner energy and aggravated his wounds. But even under such conditions he didn’t dare blink his eyes. There was one more enemy left – a dreaded fire wielder. The man looked at Abe with a chilling stare as he held onto the corpse of his friend. By now Abe was very aware that the two were more than just work partners. They shared a bond that the previous group did not.“This cannot be good for me” the young Prince lamented when the fire wielder’s gaze looked onto his. There was fury in those eyes. Unhidden, unbridled fury that threatened to consume him. “What else did he expect? It’s not like I could wait calmly for them to kill me.” Abe murmured with tired eyes.“Rest well, old friend. I’m bringing the culprit to you. You would be able to consume his soul when he arrives in the realm of the dead.” The fire wielder grim
*Bam**Bam**Bam**Bam**Bam**Bam*The furious fire wielder kept pounding away on the charred flesh of the fallen prince. Abe’s body had stopped showing any signs of life, yet the angry fire wielder wasn’t done venting his frustrations. The armor that once shielded the prized body of the Western Empire’s Prince had long withdrawn and returned to its dormant form as a harmless bracelet. Since Abe wasn’t feeding it any inner energy, their bargain was ended. Due to its surrender, Abe’s body was no longer protected from the fiery flames that had long threatened to consume him. His body was burnt beyond recognition and any who knew the young boy – his father included – would be hard pressed to identify him.“Hah-hah-hah-hah” the enemy wielder panted as he finally ceased his maniacal abuse of a corpse. He took one last look at the boy who had taken the life of his friend and set the boy
*Bam**Bam**Bam**Bam**Bam*The sounds that resounded were akin to the constant beating of a drum. However it wasn’t a drum that was being beaten, but a man. The fire wielder coughed up blood as he was sent flying into the dome for the nth time. As for how many times he had been smacked against the earth structure, he didn’t know. But he was certain that he had hit every single area of the dome. He had several broken ribs, and his body was harboring several internal injuries. Although he was severely injured, his vision hadn’t failed him yet. He watched as the culprit for his misery walked leisurely towards him. His thigh bones had been broken in the recent barrage. He landed on his legs from an impressive height and unfortunately didn’t have any inner energy to cushion his landing. He could only kneel in pain as Abe approached him.“I should have killed you earlier” the fallen fire wielder remarked when
Mane dashed towards the direction he could feel the incoming auras from. Abelard was annoyed with his friend, but he wasn’t far behind either. Both of them left blurs as their small figures rushed towards the new threat.“Isn’t it an overkill to send so many of us after an unknown enemy” a black haired man asked whilst running through the huge forest. Behind him were 25 profound wielders with the least of them in the late stages of the profound realm. He himself was an earth wielder at the peak of the early stages – he was a 3rd stage earth realmer. However, he wasn’t the only earth realmer here. There were to others who were earth wielders as well. And one of these wielders was at the peak of the earth realm!“It is because the enemy is unknown that so many of us have been sent. We have already lost five profound wielders. This time Master wants complete success, which is why we are here” A brown
