Chapter 689: Sublime Arts…
STEP
STEP
STEP
The rhythm of the steps echoed in the heart of everyone present as they watched Zeras move forward towards them, his hands stained in the blood of their own and slowly dripping to the ground with every step.
“End him now! Use everything you have!” One of the white aliens said to the remaining four guards standing. Zeras, who was able to take the step forward, skidded to a stop and waited silently.
Expressions of unwillingness could be seen on the faces of the guards, yet their eyebrows steeled, looking at the pile of dead corpses behind Zeras in the next instant.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A powerful undulation of fiery red mana burst out of their bodies, the air crackling furiously around them while space itself released a sound of it being roughly fried.
ROOOOOOOOOOOARROOOOOOOOOOOAR
ROOOOOOOOOOOAR
ROOOOOOOOOOOAR
Four booming roars could be heard through the inn area as the four bear-like guards immediately grew up even higher, moving from their former 2 meters height straight to 3.5 meters tall, making Zeras seem like a toddler.
Their eyes burst furiously aflame, and the spears in their hands erupted into powerful flames that burnt gently yet released a spine-chilling aura through the air.
“They broke through the realm’s effect…” Zeras mumbled under his breath, noticing the wild fluctuations of mana.
Once they had all entered into this realm, their mana cores were immediately sealed away, the same being said for Zeras, and the only thing that was accessible to them was their physical brute strength.
But right before him, the four bear guards had been able to break apart the realm’s effect on them, having regained their true cultivation.
Immediately, their aura skyrocketed to unbelievable levels, making them no doubt vastly stronger than almost everyone present in the place right now.
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!” The violent roar boomed through the area at the same time as spears spun forth in their palms, releasing violent suction force before they were held tightly and roughly pierced forth.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
BOOOOOOOOOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOM
The sound of space being ripped to shreds rang out, a circular barrier appeared around the spear, which broke hundreds of sound barriers, instantly appearing before Zeras.
Yet, he was not a single bit slow, as the sound of the katana getting drawn rang throughout the inn.
Immediately, he tapped his feet on the ground, shooting backwards and lashing horizontally outwards towards the mouth of the spears.
KABBBBBBBBBOM
A devastating explosion immediately threw out even the white alien’s figures, tearing apart the wooden tables and chairs into nothing but dust and sending shards of glass soaring through the entire inn.
BAANG
BAANG
BAANG
The ground gave way a total of five times, cracks spreading forth like a cobweb with every single step, as Zeras retreated backwards, a violent aura forcing its way through his arms.
Yet, with incredible control over his own body, he absorbed the destructive reverberation, quickly passing it through his muscles, resulting in the ground before him giving away.
After shifting backwards for five steps, he was finally able to pass away the destructive aura sent into his arms, but he was not given the chance to rest when the roar boomed in his ear once more, followed by the sound of space shattering apart once more.
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!”
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!”
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!”
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!”
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!”
BAAAANG
BAAAANG
BAAAANG
BAAAANG
With horrific speed, a myriad of a thousand spears sprang forth from the bear-like guards.
As each attacked from every angle, though violently, they were able to perfectly utilize their power, making them extremely coordinated and attacking relentlessly from all sides, their intent to reduce their opponent to shreds as clear as day.
Yet, the more the battle grew, the more gobsmacked and shocked the four guards were.
Zeras never moved an inch, never left his single position, never blinked at all for once, not even the slightest bit of emotion or recognition flashed in his eyes.
Both his hands had become a thousand phantoms slashing with speed that seemed so sublime and beautiful. It was like the hands of gods themselves.
The ground beneath him crumbled to pieces, sinking him deeper and deeper into the ground, yet he was like an unshaken heavenly mountain that could never be moved by even a thousand spears more.
“How! How the hell is he doing this! With just the power of his body!”
“Just how strong is his body!”
“How honed are his senses!”
“How can he move his arms so fast…”
The same thought was running in the head of every guard as they watched Zeras unfailingly block every single one of their spear strikes, none of them slipping past his guard, not even by the smallest inch at all.
He was beyond fast and skilled, and even as the guards sometimes suddenly changed their tempo, it was like he could already predict, easily thwarting away their sneak attacks and not stopping in form blocking the others.
And what was scary wasn’t the fact that he could, but the manner in which he did. His gaze was undisturbed, his eyes as calm as the dark sea at night.
“Impossible!”
“Impossible!”
They could never believe it, even after fighting back the realm laws of taking away their mana by using their life force as an exchange.
They still couldn’t match the young man before them. It was unbelievable. It was impossible.
“Focus!” The sound suddenly came from none other than him, and in the next instant, they watched as he took a minor distance forward and faded away into thin air, their spear images cleaving through nothing but phantom mirages.
“You got distracted!”
“Watch out, Lanagan!” A roar came from one of the bear guards who violently jerked his spear towards the back of one of the other guards, but Lanagan himself simply stood petrified on hearing the cold voice that trickled down his ear.
And before he could turn his back, he felt the cold aura that lingered around his neck, as gentle as the stingy bite of a simple mosquito, yet then the entire world turned black, his body collapsing onto the ground.
“DIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!” An angry roar boomed out from the mouth of the guard who delivered the warning as the spear tip appeared right in front of Zera’s face, who just finished his motion of slashing and there was only one thing he could do to survive his new predicament…
