The Journey of Akasha

Hours passed as more and more geniuses fell. Currently Yonna Blaze found herself up against Braxus Bane. This was a fight against two of the strongest here. They both were at the Late Ultimate Core rank. Braxus was massive he was about 7 feet 6 inches and compared to Yonna who was 5 feet 8 inches. 

He was like a damn giant. 

In his hand he carried huge battle axe that had white lightning crackling throughout it. He bullrushes Yonna and intended to use his strength to his advantage. Even at his massive size he still moves as fast as light.

Quite literally. 

As he moved into striking distance of Yonna he swung the massive battle axe downwards. As if he intended to split her straight down the middle. 

He used no skills, no abilities, only pure strength. 

As he drove the axe downwards, he gripped tightened so much one could his veins bulging through his skin. 

Lightning arcs flashed wildly as the battle axe made it way towards Yonna. 

Seeing Braxus not using any skills or abilities Yonna sneered.

"As expected of a brute." 

Seeing the incoming axe, she smiled, but didn't move. Instead, she said softly

|Law of Life Reversal - Rebound| 

In the next moment the axe tore through the body of Yonna from head to toe. The arcs of white lightning raged inside of her bodied as she exploded into a bloody mist. 

*CRACKLE* 

The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the crackling lighting. Then suddenly a white flame begins to engulf the entire mist of blood. 

Moments later the white flame began to take the shape of Yonna Blaze!

When she appeared, she was untouched as if she hadn't been split into two a few moments ago. She looked at Braxus and smiled.

"Maybe you should've been less of a Brute." 

After she said this Braxus face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Cough....what di-" Before he could continue, he lost his consciousness and fell out of the sky.

High above the rest of the battles the group of four watched with differing thoughts. 

"This is completely crazy." Kael muttered

"Yea, I wonder how the other group is doing." Ethan said thinking of the group with Akasha and the others. 

Hearing this Lucas eyes widened as if he just thought of something.

"Shit!!! I hope Raven is fine!" He exclaimed as he would've rushed off already to find her if it wasn't for the fact he'd blow their cover. 

"Tsk. Relax I highly doubt their having a hard time with that guy leading them." Krax said casually as he focused on Braxus who had just fell to the ground below. 

"Yea, I hope you're right." Lucas said. 

After this they continued to observe the battles. Hours turned into Days and Days turned into weeks. During this time majority of all the people who gathered here before either died or were unconscious. 

Currently among the top people gathered here only Orin, Yonna, Crystalyn, and Sera remained. Behind them was only a fraction of what remained of their forces. 

They all were battered, bruised, and breathing hard. Some of them had leaking wounds and armor that was barely holding up. Looking around seeing the condition of everyone and especially her fellow members, Sera, she spoke out.

"The Winged Humans pulls out of this. We can't afford anymore losses, and those three inheritances doesn't entirely help us." Even though she said that everyone here knew just how powerful those three items were. 

After this the old man once again came out of the temple. He looked around at all the blood and destroyed land and nodded his head. 

"Now that you three are the last remaining. You may take some time to rest and recover. The inheritances will fully unlock within a month. In the meantime, you can wait on the inside or out here. The condition isn't much better anyways. 

Only those who fought and survived are allowed to enter."

After he said that he turned around and entered the temple again. 

Hearing the Old man Orin, Yonna, and Crystalyn nodded their heads, but didn't follow. Since only they could enter anyways the chose to wait and recuperate along with their fellow members. 

While all this was taking place there was a group currently heading their way. Akasha and the rest of his group had been flying for three weeks straight, and they were finally about to reach the center of the realm. While they were flying Jovian randomly said. 

"I have a feeling we will miss all the action!" 

"Dude, don't jinx us" Akasha said casually. 

The continued on their journey for a few more days and then finally the sight of the grueling battlefield appeared in front of them. 

In front of the group were pools of blood and corpses that seemed to be dead for many days now. 

"What the hell happened here?" Lyria asked with her face showing disgust. 

"Tsk, see look, I told you we probably missed all the fun!" Jovian said.

Akasha didn't reply he simply observed everything. He then turned his head upward and saw four people hiding deep withing the clouds. Seeing this he was mildly surprised.

"Eh? Well, the other group from Kalpa is up there. Let's find out what's going on." He said pointing towards the clouds above them. 

"Why would they be way up there though?" Raven asked 

"Why else? They were probably hiding the entire time." Elara said.

They all left and headed towards the other group. When they arrived the noticed someone was missing. Seeing this Jovian asked 

"Where is Luke?"

Hearing the voice behind them the four men flinched a bit. 

"Shit! You can't sneak up on us like that!" Kael exclaimed once he saw who it was. 

"Heh, see didn't I tell you they were hiding?" Elara asked looking at Raven. 

"So? Luke where is he?" Jovian asked again. 

"H-he died." Kael said.

"WHAT?!" The other group exclaimed while Akasha simply raised his eyebrow before saying. 

"What happened here? Why does it look like some big battle just went down."

Hearing this Ethan spoke out 

"You have no idea man. For the past three weeks all the factions were all fighting to the death over three items. Some old man came from the inside of the temple and told them they needed to fight in order to reduce the numbers.

He said only three people could get the items. A few days ago, the battle finally ended and now the survivors are all recuperating down below. We initially planned to wait until they tire themselves out, but the old man said only those who fight can access those items."

"Interesting so only three people can get the items, huh?" Akasha said seemingly talking to himself. He then looked at the information he was receiving from his Treasure Compass. 

[Sword of War 300 meters away]

[Blood of Golden Dragon God 300 meters away.]

[Elves Ode to life] 

----

Turning his attention back to his group he smiled and spoke

"Let's go pay that old man a visit, shall we?" 

As he said this the five of them disappeared leaving behind the four wait no three men. 

Ethan, Lucas, and Kael all stood looking down waiting to see what was to come next. They didn't even notice that Krax was no longer beside them.
