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 The armor that once shielded the prized body of the Western Empire’s Prince had long withdrawn and returned to its dormant form as a harmless bracelet.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
In less than a minute, the 25 profound wielders were reduced to less than ten men, and Mane and Abelard didn’t even look exhausted. They breezed their way through the battlefield as though it was an amusement park and felt no pity for their enemies. But Mane had his brows furrowed. After he killed another wielder, he flung his sword towards an approaching profound wielder and ended the man’s life. However once he flung his sword, he ducked to avoid the sneaky blow that was heading his way. He leapt backwards and sent his elbow crashing into the midsection of the shadowy figure that thought it could reap some benefits from the chaotic battlefield. He then held the arm of the assassin and pried the strange looking dagger out of his hand. He expressionlessly stabbed the dagger into the man’s shoulder and then held him by the neck.“You should wait your turn” he stated coldly and threw the assassin deeper into the forest. The unfortunate man struck s
Mane calmly walked towards the peak 9th stage earth wielder. He didn’t look tense at all. It wasn’t because he had the ability to easily take on peak earth wielders, but because the man he was facing didn’t have the battle prowess of a true peak stage earth wielder. He didn’t even need to use spirit scan on the man. He could easily tell from the fluctuations of energy the man was giving that although he had a large pool of inner energy, his true battle prowess was merely at the peak of the 6th stage of the earth realm. If he was a Celestial, Mane wouldn’t be confident in taking him on. But he was a merely a Zandorian who had gotten his hands on power he didn’t understand. As Mane drew closer to his opponent, he Abe’s figure brushed past him in a blur and descended mightily upon the 3rd stage earth wielder. Just when the leader (the 9th stage earth wielder) was about to intercept Abe’s charge,
“True Hubris” Abe finally activated his only breath. His opponent was tricky. Although Abe was stronger, the man he was facing had good reflexes. Abe wasn’t sure how, but the man seemed to be capable of predicting his moves. Although Abe had landed a few good blows and avoided most of his opponent’s attacks, he was getting frustrated. He reckoned that Mane was done by now. If his captain wasn’t done yet, Abe was confident the blond boy would finish soon. He didn’t want to be outdone.Once he activated his breath his eyes became brighter. They were filled with pride and the dignity of a ruler. Other than that, there was no observable change. Many people wouldn’t even have noticed the change in Abe’s eyes. But the man Abe was facing wasn’t an ‘average’ person. He was able to discern what many wouldn’t.Abe disappeared from the man’s view, reappearing right behind him. The man’s expression
*BOOM*The loud sound came from Mane’s end of the battlefield. The possessed sword master was lying in a ditch. He had several burns on his body, yet they healed at incredible speed. The man slowly stood up as Mane witnessed for the nth time the wounds that he had made heal up. The fist sized hole Mane had just struck into the man’s chest quickly sealed up, and the possessed man dashed towards Mane once again. The young boy dodged the clumsy attack and retaliated with his own.*Bam* *crunch*The now sluggish leader was sent flying back as Mane’s fist connected with his jaw. There was a crunching sound as his jaw was blown cleanly off his head. Mane watched him fly away silently. His fury was unending.“To kill one who is possessed you need to destroy his/her connection to his/her master. Unless you do that he will keep coming at you” the 6th reminded Man of what was to be done. It was Mane’s masters who infor
“We shall” Mane nodded in agreement. “But for now we should focus on the task at hand” Mane continued. “So how do we defeat it” Abelard wondered. He had tried all he could yet the possessed never truly died.“There is a device implanted in them that keeps the power of Possession active. We need to destroy it. I would keep it occupied as you try to locate it.” Mane instructed. Initially he didn’t need any help finding the device and destroying it even while fighting against the possessed and making conversation with his masters. It was different now. Whatever was going to be born from the combination of two possessed was going to be difficult for him to handle alone. Mane wasn’t confident in destroying it by himself. But it would be impossible for Abelard to handle it himself. So that was the only option. He would have to keep it company while Abelard used his scholar abilities to locate the device.“Alri
“Hot hot hot” the possessed screamed out when its torso was reconnected to its lower half. It rolled around on the ground, trying its hardest to put out the fire. Although it couldn’t be killed by normal means, it still felt pain. After a few seconds of rolling around, the fire went out. But it wasn’t because of its efforts. The fire went out because Mane had broken his connection to it. Since the creepy thing couldn’t die, keeping his flames going would only be a waste of his inner energy. Of course the possessed that had the mind of a little boy didn’t think so. As far as it was concerned, the fire went out because of its efforts.It got up quickly and scanned the battlefield. Once it found what it was looking for, its eyes twinkled like a little boy who had been given some sweets and a silly smile plastered his face. He rushed to the part of the battlefield that had what he was looking for.“A rod?” Mane was curious to
