The Journey of Akasha

Chapter 60: Primordial Battlefield (5)



After Luke fell to the Winged Humans the fights only became more hectic. Sera and Malakar in particular were picking up the intensity of their fight. Sera just like the other Valkyrie like women was wielding her spear like a war goddess. 

Due to the help of the artifact, she was wearing she effectively neutralized Malakar's Soul power and forced him into close combat. The Soul Demons biggest weakness was their physiques. They were exceptional at Soul control and had a rather large mana pool, but they were weak in close combat. 

Sera was currently brutalizing Malakar. Since the first move was made by Kael, she provided the Soul Demon zero room to even think of a plan. Sera was currently swinging her spear with the intent to kill. 

She swung the spear in sweeping manner that caused the wind whistle. Feeling the immense threat Malakar used a defensive artifact. The artifact was a flaming skull that was all black. As the spear tore through the space hit crashed into the artifact. 

*CRACK* *CRACK* 

Cracks began to form on the flaming skull due to the sheer force of the strike. Taking this opportunity Malakar created some distance and yelled out to his comrades. 

"FALL BACK NOW! THEY ARE WEARING ARTIFACTS FOR DEFENDING THE SOULS!" As he said this he tried to escape into the distance. The other Soul Demons who were fighting against the people from Kalpa and the Winged Humans began to flee. 

Seeing this a fierce glint passed through the eyes of Sera. She gripped the spear in her hand tighter before she said 

|Law of Devouring Light - World Piercer| 

When she said this, she took her spear and thrusted it forward in a piercing manner. The spear that had begun glowing with a black light began to shine even more. The moment she thrust forward a dense black light shot out of the spear. 

*whoosh*

Malakar who was flying away into the distance felt danger and turned back and saw the manifestation of a massive illusory spear made of nothing but black light. Not even having the opportunity to defend the light engulfed him. 

When the light disappeared, there was nothing left. He was devoured by the light before he could even scream. 

Sera turned and looked at the rest of the demons and then the group from Kalpa. In a cold voice she said to her group.

"Kill all the Soul Demons. You four scram or die." After she said that she flew towards the spear. 

The group from Kalpa all looked at each other and nodded before leaving the area. 

After they made some distance Kael was the first to speak up.

"L-Luke he died!" 

"Fuck! I don't know how that's even possible." Lucas said

"Haaaa from now on we should be more careful and move with caution." Ethan said after he took a deep breath. 

Krax on the other hand appeared to be the least troubled. In fact, he could've killed a few of those Soul Demons and perhaps one of those Winged Humans, but he held back.

'System where I can I find the major factions? Like those Titans I saw when we first arrived.' He asked internally. 

[Host from what I've gathered the center of this realm holds the main inheritances. The major players should all be heading there. It should take about 2-3 months travel from your current location.]

Hearing the mechanical voice Krax nodded and said to the group.

"Let's head toward the center of this realm. Maybe we can find something to help boost our strength."

"Hmm? Are you sure about that?" Ethan asked while Lucas nodded from the side. 

"Who knows? Instead of just randomly wandering we could at least pick a direction." Krax said while shrugging. 

"Yea, let's head towards the center. It would indeed be better than encountering something like that again." Kael said.

Hearing this the other two nodded and they all flew away. 

------

In the Sky's of the Primordial Battlefield Akasha and his group were currently flying towards the center of the realm. A month had passed since their fight against those vampires and the death of Luke. During this time, they didn't run into any more action, they simply collected every rule stone they passed by during their journey. 

In front of them was a field of dead and bloody grass. There were old bones and broken artifacts all over the place. It was as if some great battle took place on these very lands. As they descended into the field Akasha turned towards the group. 

"We should have about 5 months left in this realm. We should take the time to absorb some of these rule stones to increase our strength more. You four can go first and I'll keep a watch out and then I will go. We are currently a month away from the center of this place, so we have at most 3 months to finish up." 

As he said this the four nodded and then found somewhere to sit cross-legged and took at stones. These stones were all clear rocks that had stars on them. They put the stones between their hands and began to absorb its energy. 

Immediately the four of them were all put into states of enlightenment. Akasha seeing this created a lounge chair and grapes and laid back. 

'Hmm I'll just rest for a bit until they finish. I won't need to absorb any of these stones; I will just plunder the comprehension from those I kill' He thought as he ate a few grapes. From the two vampires he killed earlier his Law of Eternal Blood reached 18%! 

This was a 17% increase from killing two random vampires. 

'I really need some new skills. I should create some after all this is over with."

Just like this he waited for the rest of his group to increase their strength while he relaxed. He wasn't worried about being disturbed due Elysia helping a bit.

Although Luna said she wouldn't help, Elysia never said such a thing. She also didn't think concealing them was too big of a help either. So, just like this Akasha waited as 2 months passed by in a blink of an eye. During this time, he didn't do a thing besides relax. 

Sitting in a crossed legged position, Elara's eyes fluttered open as she had just finished absorbing the last rule stone. After her the rest of them slowly followed. They didn't release any aura; everything was concealed and waiting to be unleashed.

When Elara and Raven finished, they looked around and then rushed towards Akasha after they spotted him. They both dove into his chest giving him big hugs. 

"I missed you!" They both exclaimed at the same time. 

Seeing this Akasha laughed while patting their heads as the hugged him. He then gave them each a kiss on the forehead.

*mwah* *mwah*

"Haha, I missed you too." 

Feeling the kisses, the two girls froze and looked into Akasha eye's.... well, his blindfolds. The blood pools in Raven's eyes started to shine dangerously bright. While the red slit in Elara's glowed with the same intensity. Then both broke out into weird giggles.

"Hehehe"

"Hehehe mines!" 

Seeing this from the side Lyria blushed before she approached along with Jovian. Akasha looked at the blushing face of Lyria and spoke 

"So Cute, do you want a hug too?" he said while smiling 

"N-no I'm fine" Lyria muttered as she was stunned seeing his smile.

"Tsk what a player. Save a couple beauties for me man!" Jovian said interrupting the moment.

"Haha! You'll have to handle that yourself my friend. As a wise man once said, 'There's plenty fish in the sea'. I'm sure you'll find a few beauties!" Akasha said while laughing, but his casual statement caused Jovian to flinch a bit.

'He must be the same as me! I wonder what cheats this guy has that makes him so OP!' he thought silently before he heard Akasha again. 

"Alright we have about a month of travel left that will leave us with about 2 months in this realm. Let's finish the journey and take a look at this little inheritance." He said before flying off into the distance. The others nodded and followed after him.
