Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 103: Rose

‘Ai, these elders never learn. Even after my well planned warning, they still decided to send these bumbling fools.’

It only took several split seconds for the so-called Battle Gods to make their way into Dyon’s field of vision. But, to Dyon’s Immortal Sense, it was almost as though he had spent days observing them.

It was unfortunate, but it seemed the gap between them and his Demon Generals still existed. This was to be expected. After all, his Vice Commanders had only just broken into the dao realm, while his other Demon Generals were still consolidating their foundations and readying for the perfect opportunity to breakthrough.

As things stood now, only he and Amphorae could match these eight with ease. Madeleine and Ri could likely do so if they pulled out all of their trump cards, but in a place like this, it wasn’t worth it. As for Clara, she was still a bit too green though she was rapidly getting better.

In the end, Dyon decided wasting his time with this fight was meaningless. Since the Sprite Alliance still didn’t understand their place…

A savage Presence that enveloped the whole of the Mystical World suddenly erupted.

The eight geniuses who had been confidently making their way forward suddenly felt their footsteps faulter. As though they were trudging through quicksand, their sense of time began slowed and warped, their knees buckling and trembling.

“It seems the Sprite Alliance doesn’t take the words of the Unblemished One seriously. In that case, you can all stay here and kneel until they come to get you.”

In a corner of the Nephilim Alliance’s territory, two women Dyon had in his thoughts were training deep within a forest of obsidian rocks.

Rose’s features had grown far more mature, but her stature was still quite petite. She had a stern, but beautiful expression as she watched on toward Jade’s battle with what seemed like an obsidian scaled panther.

As for Jade, her expression was serious as well, cold, even.

Her hair had become gold from its previous silver, much like her former timeline’s self, her curves were just as voluptuous and proud as Dyon would remember, and her pointed ears had an exotic and foreign air to them that could make any man’s blood boil.

A dazzling golden moon suddenly appeared to Jade’s back, her body moving in a lithe and flexible manner as she weaved through the strikes of the beast that must have been several kilometers tall.

A delicate roar left her lips as a blinding beam shot forth from her manifestation, piercing skull of the looming beast and causing it to collapse in a pile of its own filth.

Jade floated down from the skies, her breathing heavy. The heaving of her chest was truly a sight to behold, especially how beads of glistening sweat seemed to disappear into their deep ravine, never to be seen again.

“It’s still a bit crude, but I believe that you’ve comprehended at least the foundation, now.” Rose said with a slight hint of approval in her voice.

Jade smiled lightly, wiping the sweat from her delicate brow.

When Rose had told her there was a way to fix the weaknesses of her Eostre Clan’s manifestation, she hadn’t believed it. She had resigned herself to never use it again and was more than hesitant to follow Rose’s instructions.

Although her soul had been healed by the yin half of the soul kernel, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t be harmed again. If that happened, it wasn’t as though there was another soul kernel that could heal her again.

But, the reality was right before her. The looming shadow of her manifestation had been wiped away.

“Just where did you find such a marvelous solution, master?”

There was a complex light in Rose’s eye when she heard Jade call her as such, but she could only quickly hide it in the end.

“I received it from my own master.” Rose said lightly.

In truth, this solution came from Dyon and it was Jade’s former self that perfected it. However, Rose still had a keen dislike for Dyon and had no intention of praising him in any sort of capacity, even if she had to lie.

Though, in her opinion, this wasn’t much of a lie. After all, it was Jade that completed the path herself even if it was Dyon who set her on it to begin with.

“Master, the Ancient Battlefield is descending soon… Shouldn’t we return?”

“Return to what exactly? Do you think that boy can protect you better than I can?”

If Dyon was here, he’d likely sputter with laughter. Since when had Rose, who was more than a decade younger than him, start calling him ‘boy’? It seems she had really gotten into character when she took the role of Jade’s master.

“That’s even more reason to return.” Jade said through gritted teeth.

Of the two of them, she wanted to return the least. She didn’t want to have to face Dyon after all the things she had done. However, she wanted even less to let Dyon suffer. Her master had the strength of a Higher Existence. If Dyon didn’t have such strength to rely on when the battlefield descended, wouldn’t he be as good as dead? She couldn’t allow that.

“We won’t be returning.” Rose’s brow furrowed. “End of discussion!”
