Ember 2

"Let's focus. The enemy is too strong, and we need to do our best if we want to survive. " Butcher prepared his stance and focused his willpower. He was prepared to die today . He knew that the only thing he could do now was fight to his very last breath and hope that it would be enough for him to survive.

"Overdrive " Butcher shouted, and his body started emitting white smoke. His eyes turned red, muscles expanding and veins protruding from pressure. This is one of the clan's strongest techniques, and it can allow him to reach half step Middle Stage Master Rank temporarily. The downside is that it would cripple the user permanently because he's now sacrificing his own life force to attain more power.

His gaze focuses on Mo Shen. He's planning to unleash his strongest attack in one go. He prepared his sword stance. With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and focused his energy . Taking a step forward, he felt the tension around him build as he prepared to unleash his attack

A humming sound started reverberating from his sword. It was vibrating from too much pressure contained within the sword.

Master Chen saw it, so he also prepared himself and started using the same technique.

"Overdrive " The same phenomenon happened to his body, and he also reached pseudo-Grand Master Rank.

He raised his two hands and gathered the air between them. The air started fusing in the middle, and it became so concentrated that it started turning blue like a giant Rasen***

Swoosh.

Mo Shen entered their range at an insane speed. He charged forward like a tank, waiting to face their joint attack.

Butcher saw this, so he immediately reacted and also dashed forward while facing Mo Shen with his bare body. A sizzling sound is heard whenever the magma armor comes into contact with the floor.

"Tornado slash " He slashes his sword vertically and puts all his weight into one slash.

Mo Shen responded with a punch enhance with a simple support magic.

Booom. Both of them clashed with each other, and Mo Shen was sent flying backward. The force of the impact was so strong that it created a small blast wave from the point of contact, spreading outward and causing a gust of wind.

"Shit !!!  Melee expert is the real deal. Support magic is not enough to bridge the gap between our raw strength "Mo Shen laugh while still mid air as he realizes his flaws.

This person has innate talent. His strength is abnormal, and I believe it's related to his understanding of the sword. Mo Shen became more interested with Butcher the moment he realized that he might have an innate ability.

"A talented person like you has a good future. How about you join us ?" Mo Shen spoke the moment he stabilized himself on the ground.

"Join you? You can't even beat me." Butcher sneered. His confidence has skyrocketed after their exchange. He was drunk from the power that he's feeling right now and was sure that he had found a way to gain an upper hand over his opponent

"Beat you? I think you misunderstood something." Mo Shen shook his head.

"I'm not even trying." Mo Shen's serious tone made the whole place hot all of a sudden. He releases his aura, and an overbearing energy immediately surrounds the area.

Master Chen noticed the sudden surge of power and realized that the person in front of them was merely holding back before

"Butcher, we need to be careful; this person has been hiding his strength all along " Master Chen shouted, and he then threw the now giant wind bomb towards Mo Shen. He had been absorbing wind for a long time, so it became a very powerful AOE attack.

Booooom!!! The wind bomb exploded upon contact. The force was so strong that the whole Treasury House almost gave out from the pressure.

Dust covered the whole place, and smoke filled the air as the shock wave continued to ripple throughout the area.

"That's my strongest attack. I doubt he survives that. " Master Chen observes the destruction that he has caused. Mo Shen let him charge his attack, so he was quite confident of its power.

"I dare you to take this!" Mo Shen's voice sounded from the cloud of smoke.

"He's still alive!" Butcher shouted, but it was too late. A golden light blinded them for a moment, and then.

"Golden Budda First Palm" A force even stronger than the previous air bomb broke through the cloud of smoke like a huge etherial palm . It is so huge that everything in its path starts disintegrating.

"You... You have been playing with us this whole time " Butcher shouted angrily. He could now see the giant golden palm heading towards him.

The two cultivators could only release all their remaining power to withstand the attack.

The powers of wind and light fought each other. But Mo Shen's technique has been supplemented by magic, so there was no competition to begin with.

Booooooooom.

Another explosion erupted. But this time, two fatally wounded people are gasping for breath. on the ground. Their wounds are horrific, with deep lacerations and chunks of shrapnel lodged in their flesh. The debris from the floors penetrated their skins and limbs, their clothes tattered and their hair matted with sweat and dust

"We can't win. Cough, cough." Butcher managed to say a few words, but Master Chen no longer spoke. It was unknown if he was already dead or just pretending to be unconscious. Master Chen had sustained severe injuries during the fight, and it seemed as though he was unlikely to recover even if he had survived this battle.

Overdrive uses life energy to work and Master Chen's life energy is lower than Butcher's because of age and also lack of talent.

"Join us, and you can attain more strength " Mo Shen walks forward with a tempting offer. He was serious when he said he wants to recruit Butcher.

"Why are you doing this !!!" Butcher spoke with a weak voice and clenched his fists tightly in despair.

"There's no particular reason. It's just that your clan is bound to be destroyed in the first place, so I just hasten the process." Mo Shen answered with a calm expression. He had already removed the magma armor from his body so Butcher could clearly see his face.

"I can't believe you did this for such a pitiful reason. Which clan sent you? "Mo Shen's words were like a blow to Butcher's chest but he did not let his emotion run amok. He realized that its useless to be angry when his one leg is already in the grave.

Mo Shen did not reply immediately, he pondered for a moment.

"I came from the Godly Sect; I am a believer and loyal servant of the Magic God "

"Godly Sect? Magic God?" Butcher was confused. He never heard of a clan called the Godly Sect, and from the looks of it, the clan is very powerful, judging from the aura that Mo Shen is emitting. Butcher realized the gap between them was too wide. It was like the gap between heaven and earth.

"Do you really expect me to join you after you destroyed my clan?" Butcher sneered. He would rather die than serve an evil clan like the Magic God. He realized that the Godly Sect was a rogue sect because he never heard of it.

"You leave me no choice then," Mo Shen shook his head in dismay. Butcher steeled himself and prepared to die, resolving not to serve such a malevolent force as the Godly Sect.

"At least tell me your name," Butcher asks. He wanted to know the name of his killer before he die.

"Ember, that's what they call me " Mo Shen answered him.

"My name is  Cheon Dae-Hyun, but everyone calls me Butcher." Butcher smiled after finally accepting his faith.

"That's a good name. It's a pity that you will die today. " Mo Shen spoke with a helpless tone.

He raised his hand one last time, and light energy began to condense on his right palm again. The light began to swirl around, becoming brighter and brighter until it formed a glowing light that covered Mo Shen's whole palm. It was a beautiful sight, but Butcher could not believe that such a beautiful technique was actually being used for chaos and destruction.

"Goodbye, it was a hard fight. "

"Don't lie to me, you still have too much power to spare. It was never a fight, it was a one-sided beating from the very beginning." Butcher laugh one last time.

Booooooooomm

An explosion so strong echoed throughout the surrounding area. A trembling sound can be heard from afar, and the once mighty and standing Treasury Hall becomes a thing of the past. None of it had remained intact. A cloud of smoke filled the air, and for a few moments, all that could be heard was silence
