The Story Never Ends

Chapter 205 - Time's Up



When Heath and Holden were panicking about Henrik going to be burnt to death by the beam of flame, they realized that they were wrong. This was because the flame bypassed Henrik by a few centimeters heading for the Nascent Soul Cultivators behind him.

It looked like they should be worrying about the ones behind him.

"Damn, how can I miss it? If only I could have swung the sword in a proper way." Davion cursed in disappointment as he missed the best opportunity to take down one of the big bosses here.

"Nonetheless, this outcome is also not bad." He muttered.

While he was in his own thoughts, the other members of the Golden Lion Tribe had become restless.

"Henrik, you bastard. How dare you dodge it?" Heath scolded him.

"Yeah, we will put all this blame upon you," Holden added.

Their attitude now had turned completely opposite. They knew that they would definitely get punished by their elders when they returned back to the tribe with these many casualties. This held true even if they managed to snatch the fairy artifact from that woman successfully.

"Shut up, you two."

"We should help them immediately. Although they have been preparing a formation to aid us, this power is not something they can handle." Henrik seriously suggested.

"Let's hope that it will work this time. It's the last oneā€¦" He took out another arrow that seemed similar to the previous one from his spirit ring and began to fire it.

Heath and Holden nodded. So, they also made their moves. They infused a lot of their Qi into their respective weapons and used their special abilities without any hesitation.

The same went for the other Domain Realm experts of the Golden Lion Tribe. They couldn't turn a blind eye to this incident. After all, it mattered the life and death of their precious youngsters. Thus, they also rushed to stop the flame.

Moreover, Hector, who was on the ground also tried to help as his two loyal attendants were also among them. But Siena didn't give him the chance to do so. Taking the moment, he was distracted, she struck him more ferociously than ever putting him in a tight spot.

Her movements were fast, agile, and light like a feather. Every time Hector made one blow with his large and slow body, she would have already made three moves by that time. This was the perfect counter to someone who depended on brute strength. In addition, Hector couldn't muster much of the actual strength that he was known for against her. This indeed referred to the Golden Flame that he was so proud of. Nonetheless, it was suppressed by her white flame in every direction. Hence, he was at a disadvantage right from the start.

Anyways, he was still holding on despite all that. He slashed his sword forward and as usual, she dodged it in mid-air knowing that it was suicide to take it head-on. Then, it was her turn to strike.

She closed the distance in the blink of an eye and aimed straight towards his neck with her sword. In response, he swung his left hand towards her sword attempting to catch it; surprising her with this sudden change.

"Previously, he would have certainly tried to back away and deflect my strike with his sword. But now, he did this foolish move. What is he thinking?" Siena pondered. She was able to guess his attacking pattern as they had been going at it for a while.

"Whatever, it's useless to think about it." She didn't retract herself and her sword came into contact with his hand as a result.

"Puchi-"

His palm was pierced and blood dripped as expected. Although he protected himself, this was not the end. White flames started spreading over his hand like the time when Davion had experienced in the library. It was burning without a single ounce of pain.

However, Hector didn't react to all this as he was prepared to take advantage of this situation. He hacked towards her with all his might using the sword he wielded in his right hand.

"You are ruthless." She became shell-shocked seeing his determination. Even though his palm was injured, he had gripped her sword tightly making it difficult for her to pull out in a short time. Thus, she had to either leave it and back away or take his strike directly.

"BAM"

***

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul warriors in the sky had finished laying out the formation. Many scrolls and array flags were floating in the air and the moment they all channeled their spiritual energy into them, a dangerous golden aura comparable to a pinnacle level Domain Realm expert was released.

"Whoosh"

The aura collected together and a gigantic circle was formed above their heads. Afterward, ten chains each thousand feet long emerged from the circle which went after Davion all at once.

This was how they wanted to bind Davion and help their seniors in the war. But who could have thought that this strange flame would disrupt their plan?

In the air, the moving chains eventually came into contact with the beam of flames, and like everyone had thought the chains couldn't proceed any further. Instead, it was vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

This made the Nascent Soul warriors break out in cold sweat. It seemed like they were about to perish here. But this didn't happen as various powerful spells cast by their seniors arrived in time.

A Golden Lion overlapping an arrow, a large fist made of flame Qi, a halberd Qi heavy as a mountain, and many more.

"BOOM"

***

"Good, good. They are going after my flame. Now I can finally take out the trash." He set his sights upon Andreas, Carolina, and the merchants who were running away.

"Did they forget about taking revenge? Was I that scary?" He grinned.

Sensing someone's gaze, they glanced in that direction and noticed that it was him.

"Fuck."

"We need to run."

"He is going to kill us."

"My God! He is swinging his sword."

"Help!"

They cried out and began speeding up. But nothing happened even after a couple of seconds. So, how could they not get curious?

Thus, they slowly turned their heads back in fear they might see something dangerous.

"Eh! His sword broke."

"How can it be?"

"Moreover, his extraordinary flame domain has returned to normal."

"It seems like it was only a one-time move. Is this his secret technique?"

"Humm, I can see blood on his lips too."

"Is he injured?"

"Don't tell me that flame consumed everything out of him?"

"It makes sense."

"Hehe, I think he is in a weakened state right now. Shall we make a move?"

"What?"

They discussed with each other while observing him intently. Seeing him coughing out more blood, they made up their minds.

"Let's kill him."

***

Davion wiped the blood on his mouth and stood there in disbelief with only a hilt of the sword in his hand. It really broke into pieces when he tried to swing it. This meant that it couldn't handle that powerful flame.

"Although I knew that flame wouldn't last for a long time, it was still too short. I was barely able to strike once." He was disappointed. If only it had lasted longer, he would have been able to take care of them all.

"Besides, the backlash from breaking a higher-grade spiritual weapon is quite terrifying." He felt blood leaking out abnormally from his internal organs. This pain made him understand why that skinny man couldn't move earlier.

"Anyways, I should be grateful. This sword allowed me to see my future path." He guessed that his weird tattoo was the one responsible for mingling these two flames. So, he had to find some powerful flames in the future and hope that today's incident would repeat once more.

"Currently, Siena has promised to pass me her flame if I win the bet. But do I wait that long?" He was eager to possess that power for himself.

"Do I force her to hand it down?" He even had evil thoughts ringing in his mind. Knowing her cultivation base had made him quite confident.

"However, it's useless to think about it right now. I have to deal with these ants first." He retracted his attention back but found that they were missing.

"Did they.." Before he could finish his words, he saw four big creatures jumping out from the shadow in the ground. They were two panthers, a wolf, and a snake.

The wolf lifted his spear, and it became a hundred feet long reaching straight infront of him in a jiffy, and from the tip, a blast of destructive ice energy radiated reaching all the way to the heavens.

"BOOM"

This was the special ability of his spear. Following him, the panthers threw their daggers into the air. The daggers multiplied into hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand of them instantly going towards Davion.

As for the snake, she spat a shiny green ball that exploded causing fumes of seven different colors to spread in the air.
