Chapter 548: The Blood Rains Down
Red everywhere. The scent of iron was heavy in the air. The sounds of screams could be heard all over. The clanking of metal against metal was also mixed in. This was a land where those who loved battle went. The realm of blood. It could be accessed by anyone who was able to pa.s.s through the entrance without being ripped to shreds. Gates to this realm could be found all over in any realm, even in the sea of stars. It was a place where only those who were strong truly survived and where some of the most powerful people could be found.
And standing in a field drenched in blood in her bare feet was Yana. She looked out over the blood dyed landscape and took a deep breath of the iron enriched air. "I wonder just how strong people are here..."
As a battle maniac and someone who truly wished to grow stronger, her love for the sword was unmatched, and her abilities could be said to be up near the top. The set of sword stances she had learned are all extremely powerful, and each stance only grew more powerful.
In a cheerful mood, Yana made her way towards the sounds of yelling and metal clas.h.i.+ng to see what was going on. She really wanted to know just what the situation was like in this place and if it was truly a place where the strongest came to fight.
She ended up walking a good hour when she finally came to the battlefield. Her feet were soaked in blood, but it didn"t bother her in the slightest. Her eyes glowed at the raging battle happening in the ravine in front of her. "Time to test my abilities."
With no hesitation at all, Yana jumped from the top of the ravine and drew her sword. In mid air she got into her sword stance as she said: "First stance, slash of the beginning!"
"What!?" The unlucky man who was below her had no idea what happened when his head was separated from his neck. Yana landed and spun her body around and attacked the person who was attacking the person she just killed: "Second stance, slash of creation!" This attack was wide, and those in the area of one hundred meters in a cone in front of her were swiftly cut in half.
It was then that the battlefield suddenly became quiet. All they heard was a young girl"s voice say: "Third slash, Slash of destruction."
*Swis.h.!.+*
They only saw the girl disappear and then reappear a kilometer away behind her was a trail of spraying blood. She had just killed thousands of men in just a few attacks. She quickly grabbed the attention of the two opposing sides. The battle had suddenly gone from a two way battle to a three way battle. "Who are you!?"
"Fourth slash..." The whole area suddenly felt heavy as Yana seemed to have a black and grey power surging out of her body like flames as she lowered her stance. "Slash of chaos."
Yana"s body suddenly flashed all over the battlefield. Wherever her body appeared, sprays of blood followed behind her. She was like a ping pong ball being batted around. Tens of thousands of people were killed in a matter of seconds. No one even had a chance to retaliate. When Yana"s body reappeared, she stood in the middle of a dead zone. The blood of her victims raining down on top of her drenching her from head to toe.
Yana looked around her to see that she was no longer in a battle, but a graveyard and frowned. "Are they all really this weak!?" She couldn"t accept it! She had come here to find a powerful foe, but in return, she was able to kill tens of thousands of people instantly without a single one of them fighting back or blocking her attack! This was not what that old man promised her! "You d.a.m.n old man!" Yana yelled out.
While Yana was cursing the old man, two people stood high in the sky, looking on in curiosity. "Seems like another contender has come. This one is pretty cute."
"Didn"t the last girl you tried to woo almost chop your manhood off just for talking to her?" A young man said, teasing the other young man to his side.
"How was I supposed to know she was in the top ten of the blood rankings!? But man… she was hot… This girl looks new and shouldn"t know the area well. I can just be her escort around and maybe..." Before the young man could finish, his friend patted him on the shoulder.
"I think you may want to reconsider and maybe run because this girl is heading right for us." His friend said as she turned and began to run away. He was not stupid enough to try to talk to a girl who just jumped down and slayed tens of thousands of men by herself.
"Huh? Hey, why are you running!?" The other young man asked, but suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to look at the beautiful face standing in the sky in front of him. "Uh… Hi..."
Yana smiled as she said: "First stance, slash of the…. Ah! He flew away!"
Yana could only watch as the young man flew as fast as he could off into the distance. She pursed her lips and wondered why he was even here if he did not wish to fight…
On the other side, the young man"s friend was laughing away as he looked at his friend running for his life. "Haha! I thought you were going to woo her."
"Are you crazy!? How do I woo someone who doesn"t even let someone talk before starting their attacks! That girl had more killing intent than the last girl! What the h.e.l.l is up with girls in this place!? If it wasn"t for the fact that we can"t return after entering this place unless we take the throne I would go find a mountain somewhere and become a monk!" The young man retorted as she continued to fly as fast as he could. He wanted as far away from that female monster as he could get.
His friend looked at him and let out a laugh as the two flew off over the horizon.
