Fell wasn"t aware of the actions orchestrated by the red haired man. His mind couldn"t think at all that he would go challenge one of those five ent.i.ties. The strength and purity of their blood essence alone had laid a shadow in Fell"s heart and had already made him choose to avoid them."Unless I really have two. I have to avoid confronting them directly if I ever meet them here; I"ll just run away from them.", he thought as he continued flying through the path existing inside of the tree. He felt as though his soul was moving through a long tunnel, with a soft light extending toward him in the distance.
"I hope I didn"t die…", he mumbled as he felt that the irony of the scene he was in. "Gotta continue!", he thought as he tried raising his speed. But it only rose by a thin margin, as he couldn"t completely exert the strength of his ego body without the soul palace.
"According to this speed, it will take more than five minutes to arrive at the top…", he thought as he couldn"t find any way to solve his problem. "Time is of essence in this place…", he mumbled with a low tone as he didn"t stop his movement at any moment. "Time…" he mumbled as he continued thinking deep while advancing toward the origin of power of the Gigantic Tree.
"How do I augment my speed…", he continued mumbling as he focused part of his thought on the problem at hand. "What If I try to use the spatial scripture?", he thought before hesitating as it could end up dangerous.
He remembered the last time he had used the technique, and specifically, he remembered the sensation of the seal incorporating with his ego body. Compared to before, he had felt closer to the surrounding s.p.a.ce by a hundredth time for a few seconds, and had accomplished the feat of moving his whole body through s.p.a.ce.
"I don"t know how strong the effect will be, but If I"m afraid of making contact with the outside world will be a fatal error. My guts are telling me that this is what I must avoid the most in this state.", his face turned resolute as he calculated the risk of his future action. When risk was calculated, then the danger would lessen as the outcomes could be expected.
However, Fell didn"t know much but nonetheless decided to try as a few more seconds gained could mean security or danger for him. He closed his ego body"s eyes as he began focusing on drawing the symbol in his mind, a few seconds pa.s.sed, and he finished on his first try. He reopened his eyes, and his hand moved as he began drawing the character he had drawn earlier.
The finger of his ego body glinted a pure purple color as the spatial scripture was drawn on thin air. It laid softly in the middle of the long dark tunnel without making any reaction, then after a few seconds pa.s.sed, a bright, colorful flash of light escaped from it then.
Fell extended his hand toward the scripture, and the character swiftly flew to his attack. It entered Fell"s ego body as it released the power of the spatial scripture through every inch of it. The color of the ego body"s eyes changed as they turned deep dark colors similar to the void outside of the atmosphere.
He willed for his body to warp closer toward the source of power. His body blinked as he seemingly entered another layer of s.p.a.ce, and he reappeared further up in the long tunnel inside of the tree. His eyes glowed in the dark, the somber change given by the spatial scripture gave him a horrific gaze.
"I can"t judge the distance accurately inside of the tree, but I can feel that the source of power is closer than my early position.", he thought before once again blinking through s.p.a.ce. His ego warped out of the void as he reappeared in the distance, a smile appeared on his face as he sensed that the seal still contained strength.
"With one character absorption, I can sense that I"m capable of blinking five times…", he thought as he once again reused the power of the spatial scripture. "It might be due to special circ.u.mstance that I"m capable of blinking through s.p.a.ce", he thought as he referred to the fact that he was only controlling his ego body.
His figure continued climbing through the ma.s.sive tree. Time ticked as he quietly approached the position of the Gigantic Tree"s source of power. His presence was unknown by all through the five ent.i.ties, or by the many creatures under him — a clear contrast to the red haired man who was currently facing one of the five ent.i.ties.
It didn"t take long for the other four to notice the disturbance as they had a means of communication between them. However, Akainmhar didn"t give a single thought about this possibility as he was sure about his survival capacities. The full extent of his cultivation was at the peak of the second realm of body cultivation, and aided with his treasure he didn"t find it it difficult to begin the fight with a strong tempo.
Right after the first fist that sent the ent.i.ty hurling away, he had followed up with dozens of physical attack that sent the creature flying through the small sized mountain. His red haired danced in the wind as he turned into an explosive fiery wisp from a distance, blinking from one spot of the mountain to another.
It had been less than a minute that he had engaged the man. From the first attack he had sent, to the last one he had executed, he had taken his time to a.n.a.lyze the ent.i.ty in front of him. It"s size, weight, the texture of skin, density, and volume were quickly picked up by the keen eyed martial artist.
"Strong!", he thought as he was aware that the numerous attack he had executed had only scratched the ent.i.ties" skin. A skin smooth, yet hard, as though covered by a thick chitin armor that kept everything under it safe.
"I"ve never met such type of species…", he mumbled as he took a step forward. Stomping strongly on the ground, he executed another martial fist technique that he trans.m.u.ted into a grappling technique in one fluid motion. The experienced fighter showed his value as soon as the fight began, taking advantage of the ent.i.ty that couldn"t breathe or even react in the split-second action.
"Those eyes…", noticed the red haired man as he saw the sharpness hidden in it. "I"m beginning to annoy it!", he thought as his speed rose to the limit. He stepped twice, and executed a pirouette than ended in a roundhouse kick that didn"t fail to connect with the creature"s jaw.
The red haired man lunched forward, with the intent of continuing his relentless advance, but his body suddenly came to a stop. His facial expression changed as he sensed the pressure that surrounded his body; it materialized to the point where it had blocked any physical movement.
It was as in front of the ent.i.ty in front of him. He didn"t have the right qualification to move in front of it. A shiver traversed his spine as he saw a mysterious scene unfurl in front of him.
A strange mumble escaped from the ent.i.ty"s armor, and the next moment the low and silent word transformed into a powerful intent that turned into a tidal wave. Akainmhar"s face twitch as the ent.i.ty"s vague mumble turned into words in his mind.
"You fought well, Human."
"But this just isn"t your day. You had many years to come to further your cultivation, but you had chosen to end your life by fighting us."
"Especially with that kind of treasure inside of your body!", Akainmhar felt an evil intent pressure him on every corner of his body. A suffocating sensation a.s.saulted him as he felt his soul imprisoned inside of a veil of soul power.
Akainmhar trembled roughly as thought he was having a seizure, and before long, his body"s movement came to a silent. His boiling heart slowed down as he began feeling his will seep out of his body, he knew that in the next milliseconds, his consciousness would fade away.
"Ignite!", he activated the strongest card he had. The treasure lying dormant in his treasure released a powerful red light as blood essence began filling the red haired man"s vein. The next moment, it was as if matches were thrown on gasoline. Every single speck of blood essence color changed as its color turned vivid.
It was as if each of his blood essences was turning into a miniaturized sun. The temperature surrounding the red haired man rose as his body released waves upon waves of scorching heat. His heartbeat sped as it released a loud and deep sound through the silent surrounding; his eyes focused as he gazed at the ent.i.ty standing in front of it.
His glaring red gaze expressed everything he wanted to say, clearly despising everything it had said.
