Chapter 59: Primordial Battlefield (4)
Raven and Elara made quick work of the vampires. This is because they both had more time than normal to strengthen themselves. During their time training they both focused on comprehending the rules. Elara was able to take her Law of Devouring Flames up to 10% comprehension while Raven was able to fall right under 10% at 8%.
Although it may not seem like much, this boost in comprehension allowed them both to use their laws better. Elara for example, Her flames were now capabale of devouring more than just fire. Within her domain she could devour life itself, as long as the target is weaker then they would be as good as dead.
Jovian was currently fighting against the female vampire that was clingy to the side of the first male vampire. The fight between the two looked much different than the other three. Although Jovian wasn't at a disadvantage he wasn't at an advantage either. Seeing this the female Vampire spoke
"For a mere Human you're pretty decent. But killing the prince is something you won't be able to survive!" As she said this, she cast a skill
|Law of Blood Control - Blood Burst|
Immediately after she said this Jovian felt an immense sense of danger. He felt the blood in his body stop flowing and his movements ceased. He was frozen midair in an attacking posture. Seeing his situation, he was internally thinking
'Shit Shit Shit, how can I possibly die in my first real fight! Fuck that!'
Seeing him like that the vampire smiled and spoke
"It's useless to struggle, now EXPLODE!"
After she said this the blood in Jovian's body started boiling as if it was being heated by hell fire. Before he could even think of a way to get out of this situation his blood exploded through his skin.
*SPLAT*
His blood started pouring out through every pore on his skin. The moment it exploded he started falling through the sky as his body twitched. Akasha standing not too far away was observing the battlefield smiled when he says this.
'Let's see what tricks you have Jovian.'
As he said this he focused on Jovian and what he saw left him very intrigued. When he looked back at Jovian who was free falling through the air, he saw his body began to glitch.
Yes glitch. It was the same type of glitching you would see on the screen of technology, after a few more glitches Jovian's body completely disappeared. And then
"GAHHHH-" The short sound a blood curling scream. Akasha turned his head towards the female vampire and what he saw was Jovian standing behind her with his sword piercing directly through her.
He gripped the sword and sliced upward, and the female vampire was split in two perfect halves. Seeing this Jovian reached his hand out and an all-white sheathe appeared. He sheathed his sword and attached it to his hip.
"To think I would even have to use this sword. Haha it was worth it though." He said before turning away. Even though his situation looked bad one must remember Jovian is an Oracle. He has an affinity with the illusive Rule of Fate along with the Rule of Time.
His law is the 'Law of Endless Time'. This allows him to use different versions of himself in different timelines as he sees fit. Currently he only has 4% of his law comprehended, but it was enough for the situation. The moment he felt his movements restricted he replaced himself with another version of himself.
He then used a concealment method to bide his time until the vampire let her guard down. The rest is history.
Seeing this from the distance Akasha was impressed. He looked at blade at appraised it

'Interesting indeed! Maybe I should keep this guy around.' Akasha thought as he turned to see Lyria.
She was currently finishing off the last male vampire. Lyria herself was a healer, but she also had a few ways to protect herself. Since she was young, she has had an absurd affinity with nature, this led to her being exceptional at healing. But what most didn't know was that nature could also be ruthless.
|Law of Life Manipulation - Nature's Wrath|
As she said this it was if nature itself turned against the vampire. The winds became heavier, mana became harder to intake, the trees began to sway wildly and even the ground began to tremble. The vampire found himself unable to stay stable in the air and lost his balance.
The moment he lost his balance he looked up to see Lyria who looked like a Goddess of Nature. Her long green hair floated like it was defying gravity and her eyes were glowing green.
But the most shocking thing was the manifestation behind her. It was an enormous depiction of what looked to be a more mature and divine version of Lyria. The manifestation slapped a palm of energy towards the vampire who clumsily trying to gain his balance again.
The palm took the shape of pure green energy. The moment it made contact there was no loud explosion or anything, the light in the eyes of the vampire simply dimmed as he fell down to the ground.
After this the manifestation disappeared and Akasha voice sounded
"Damn that was fun!"
Hearing this the group all started to fly towards Akasha and they all had similar reactions.
"Haha, I bet that little vampire thought she killed me!" Jovian said while laughing
The others added side bits in before they began their trip to the center of the realm.
Elsewhere in the Primordial Battlefield
The other group was currently engaged in a massive fight for the spear.
Luke was currently fighting against one of the Valkyrie women. Normally he would feel the need to fight the strongest one here, but he knew all too well that death here meant permanent death. The fight between the two as been going on for the past five minutes.
The young lady wielded a spear while Luke had a saber in hand. They went blow for blow neither one giving an edge to the other. The lady wielded the spear like a war goddess. As the two clashed again both of them were pushed back a few meters.
The woman gripped her spear tighter before saying
|Law of Divine Light - Spear of Retribution|
The moment she said this her spear started shining brightly. It glowed with a bright white light that made Luke squint his eyes. She then spread he wings and then behind her tens of spears made of pure light formed. Without waiting a second, she launched all the spears towards Luke before she moved herself.
She flew up wards with the glowing spear in hand. When she was high enough her spear left her hand, it enlarged and grew illusory wings. It then nosedived and collied with Luke who was trying to dodge the other spears.
BOOOOOM!!!!
A massive explosion that caused a shockwave throughout the surroundings resounded. Luke found himself engulfed in a bright white light. Without having the opportunity to put up any defense Luke took the attack head on.
"ARGHHHHH!" He yelled with pure raw emotions. The light he was engulfed in was more than for show. This light served the purpose to bring punishment on those who had committed any 'criminal acts'.
In the world where strength rules, who hadn't committed any 'criminal acts'? It would be a small amount if any.
As the light faded Luke stood their floating in the sky. He was bleeding from head to toe... quite literally. His robes were ruined, and his hair was messy. As he collected his self he spoke
|Law of Fractured Ti----|
But before he could even finish his words the Valkyrie looking woman who put him in this state was already up on him. Not giving him the time to recover or even retaliate she gripped the spear that reappeared in her hand and then
*SPLAT*
Directly through the chest of Luke, she drove her spear clean through. The spear still shining in its divine light burned every drop of blood that stained it. Luke struggled to look down and some himself impaled coughed up a mouthful of blood before saying.
"Cough.....well.... da..m...n"
After those words the light in his eyes dimmed and he fell down towards the mountain. The death of Luke didn't stop the others from fighting either. The woman turned her head a saw a soul demon and she immediately engaged it.
