Raising his hammer, a grey light emerged. In this empty s.p.a.ce, dozens of greyish particles appeared out of nowhere and condensed into a large, greyish sphere of light!"Void Lightning Magic: Electric Annihilation!"
Yakhan"s swords were torn apart as the sphere of light did not lose any of its power and engulified Yakhan"s body.
After a long period of training and experiments, Elijah had achieved mastery in the use of void lightning. He had even thought of several new spell he could use and Electric Annihilation was the spell which had the most attack power and was perfectly harmonious with his cultivation as he had to use elemental energy to form the spell and spiritual force to control it. Besides, with the use of elemental energy and spiritual force, it makes the power of the spells even more powerful as it had the spiritual force"s support.
Inside the lightning sphere, thin lightning blades slashed repeatedly on Yakhan"s body. After the spell ended, Elijah saw that Yakhan was still unscathed, there was not even a mark left by the lightning, but his body was full of light specks and his body was thrown backward by dozens of meters. But even after he was penetrated by several lightning blades, he still seemed fine.
"This was your best attack? If it is, you are destined to die!"
Yakhan walked towards Elijah with new swords in hand. Seeing Yakhan walking towards him, Elijah had the impression that this is going to be a long test.
...
Wilhe Elijah was in the middle of a battle with Yakhan as his test. In anothers"s place, Keith was also undergoing his own test.
He was in a dark room, his arms and feet were chained on the wall and there was several children there on the same situation as him. For some reason, he could feel any cultivation within him. It seems his cultivation was sealed for this test. And from the looks of this, everyone had to face tests that were completely different.
Standing in front of Keith was a middle-aged man dressed in white clothes. He was holding an whip in his hands, and had a mocking smile on his face.
Keith knew this man, it was the slave dealer that has taken him as a child more than ten years ago.
This was Keith"s nightmare!
His eyes were already blood red just by looking at this man. Even though he knew it was a test and all of this was an illusion, he could not suppress the anger in his heart when he saw this despicable man once again.
"Little blue, i have a new mission for you. The Duke Rowan has insulted me on the council meeting that happened today and i want you to kill his youngest daughter as the payback for insulting me. After this, i can even give you a reward." An evil curl appeared by the corners of Vridus"s mouth as he stroked Keith"s hair with his hand.
This man was called Vridus, he was the High Secretary of finances of the Behemoth Empire and a slave dealer that trained ophans into his own special division of a.s.sasins. Twelve years ago, Keith was part of the Bellman clan, one of the three greatest empires on the Behemoth Empire. At that time, Vridus was a friend of his clan and had a smugling contract with his father. Two years later the Emperor dicovered about the smugling and had his clan killed. As for Vridus, not only he was unafected, as he ended up taking Keith who was now a orphan with him because of his special race and abillities.
Hearing what Vridus said, Keith"s eyes showed panic like he had forgot that all of this was an illusion. The reason for this was because the Duke Rowan"s youngest daughter was his childhood friend and his first love. Then Keith kneeled before Vridus and said in a panicked voice: "No! i won"t do this, you can ask me anything but don"t make me kill Luna, please."
But this only made Vridus feel even angrier as he lifted his right leg giving Keith a straight kick on the head.
"You are realy tras.h.!.+ this time i will forgive you and send another one to kill her. But the next time, I will cut all your body parts and let you have a taste of death by dismembering as i torture you."
Vridus"s recklessly laughed with his face full of mockery:"And you still care about that little girl? She is the daughter of an Duke and has one of the most rare spiritual bodies. Even if i she lives, you won"t have a chance with her in the future. You are a You"re nothing but a toad l.u.s.ting after a swan"s fles.h.!.+"
Keith"s face twitched as veins began protruding on his forehead one by one. Even if whatever the Vridus had said in front of him was actually his own memories, he was now completely lost in the illusion. He had fallen in too deep.
Then Vridus looked to one of the boys. The one he was looking at had dozens of scars on his face and his eyes give off killing intent and insanity.
"Shark, can i leave this mission to you?"
Hearing Vridus would give a chance to kill someone,his killing intent was amplified by several times: "Yes Master, i would love to do this mission. It"s been so long since I"ve killed someone."
"Okay then. Take this, it"s a dagger enchanted with destruction magic, you only need to touch her with it and her body will dissolve in a few seconds." Vridus gave a dagger to Shark who disapeared in the dark.
Keith who was in panic about everything, has come to an realization. "Wait all of this has happened before... I remember now, i was in a test right now.But even if this is an illusion i will never let anything happen with Luna. Even if she doesn"t remember me i will never forget her! And i will continue to strive to the peak, this is my path!"
Something seemed to change inside him as several green tatoos covered his body.
His cultivation technique was different from the others. It is a relic from his clan, it"s name was [Seven Heavens Art] it was an cultivation technique which only Seven Realms, he was only at the peak of the Second Heaven which was comparable to the fourth realm and now he finaly broke the barrier to the Third Heaven and unlocked the Heaven"s Apostle form.
Seeing the strange transformation happening with Keith, Vridus took a step back as Keith walked closer with an smile on his face.
