"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
An old woman, dressed in a flowing black dress, stood before him and made the entire room feel ominous. The darkness that surrounded her made it difficult to make out her features, but the way she stood sent shivers down his spine. The tattered fabric of her dress clung to her thin frame, and her hair was a wild and tangled mess. He narrowed his eyes and peered into the dark, trying to make out the woman's face. But the room was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. "Devour Life." The woman spoke with a grating, chilling voice that sent shivers through him. His palms grew slick with sweat as his hands trembled uncontrollably. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself for the worst. "Devour Death." A cold breath tickled the back of his neck, but the woman in front of him remained still, making the situation unnerving. Then suddenly... "hehehehehehe!!!!" Her crazed laughter filled the room as she ran towards him with wild, crazed eyes. He could feel his heart pounding and ever
The sound of whispers and murmurs echoed through the halls of the school, as students and staff rushed to gather around the nurse's office. They craned their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening.As Mia heard the news, her face lost color, and she felt a pang of guilt in her chest. She wished she had gone with him, but instead, she was left with regret.Meanwhile, some girls who were envious of her took the chance to spread rumors and attack her reputation. They surrounded Mia and taunted her, their voices filled with cruelty and jealousy. "She's so insensitive," one of the delinquent girls sneered, as they huddled together and pointed toward her."I can't believe she let her boyfriend go to the nurse's office all by himself," another chimed in, shaking her head in mock disapproval. "What kind of girlfriend is she?" the third added, making a show of tutting and clicking her tongue.But she simply walked past them with a straight face, unaffected by their insults.
As Mo Shen entered the classroom, most of his classmates had already taken their seats. He made his way to his designated seat located in the fourth row, settling in for the day's lessons.He was gone for almost a week when he was hospitalized, so most of his classmates look at him curiously. None of them came and asked him about his condition because they thought that he wanted to be left alone. "Am I not sociable?" Mo Shen realized his classmates were distant and began to reflect on his behavior. He concluded that perhaps it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more sociable from time to time. As he pondered, he understood that his lack of socializing was causing them to keep their distance.'Yeah, I remember that I'm bad at talking before' Mo Shen remembered that he used to struggle with communication, and as he shook his head, he acknowledged his past struggles with socializing."It's lucky that Mia was there to take care of me," Mo Shen thought to himself. He looked up at the blackboard a
Mo Shen had a busy day at school and was eager to continue his training to strengthen his body and improve his skills. The first thing that came to his mind is Mount Ming. Mount Ming is a dormant volcano between Incheon and Seosan. It's a tall mountain that faced the sea and had a lot of natural resources. Places like this are abundant in natural energy because they have all four major elements.He walked towards the station and boarded the train. His priority is to strengthen his body.Mo Shen sat near the window seat, looking at the old highways that connect the two cities. He could see the vast highway that quickly flew past him. The bundle of flowers and herd of birds on the railings reminded him of his past life.Mo Shen gazed at the ocean in front of him, sighing as he remembered a time when the platform was guarded by hundreds of cultivators. Doo."Next stop, Seosan ." The announcement jolted Mo Shen. He grabbed his black-colored bag, got to his feet, and stood up. Then he he
Mo Shen beamed with satisfaction as he felt his newly transformed body. He now had a more muscular physique, with bulging muscles that could be clearly seen through his clothing. This transformation was a significant change from his former average build. It was a good thing he had a spell to reduce his muscle mass. If not, Mia will surely be surprised to see such an abrupt change.After spending a night reinforcing his newly improved physique, Mo Shen went back home. Just as he expected, his body had become more vigorous despite not sleeping. He feels fresh and full of energy. The feeling was something no ordinary human could achieve."The improvement in my body is good enough to fight Martial Warriors. With this strength, I can go forward with my plan to earn more money."He was worried about the interruptions of big sects. They had a covert organization that dealt with individuals who broke their rules of confidentiality or cultivated without authorization. This group was known for
It was already 5:30 pm by the time they arrived at the mall; the sun was setting and casting a warm glow over the city. The night lights of the city had started to twinkle, creating a beautiful display. Meanwhile, the mall was bustling with activity, with people coming and going from its stores and restaurants. "Mo Shen... "Thank you for saving me back then." She tried her best, but she still mumbled some words. She was too self-conscious and did not know what to say."It's ok, it's nothing." he calmly replies while checking the menu. He never considered that incident a big deal after all. "What will happen now?" Mia's voice was still shaky from being overwhelmed. She realized the consequences of their actions."What do you mean?" Mo Shen continues to read the menu, he wants to taste some sushi. He was craving some Gunkan Maki, Sasazushi, and Nigiri paired with some cold ginger ale"That guy, Nathan, he's the son of a very wealthy family; he might do something underhanded."Mia's co
A series of muffled sounds can be heard over the roofs of multiple buildings. His body flickered while the darkness of the night covered him. His movements were so swift, so elegant, yet so deadly. It was like seeing death descend on earth. That's what he thought an overpowered main character in a novel would do, but Mo Shen was different; he would not do something so stupid and unnecessary. He took a cab and went to Nathan's house like an ordinary boy with a normal working mind. Power is everything in this world. And regardless of how much knowledge he had, it will be useless if he doesn't reach his full potential. He can't be complacent just because he had an arsenal of spells at his disposal. He was like a nuclear reactor without enough uranium to work properly. "Oh, so this is his house?" Mo Shen smiled the moment he saw the mansion. His eyes shine as if he had discovered a gold mine. As he approached the massive gate, he took note of the intricate details that adorned it. Th
Mo Shen rested in bed, his gaze fixed on the phone screen as he scoured the internet for information about an antique auction. While scanning the posts, he stumbled upon an advertisement for an auction being held the next day, Saturday, at the Incheon Golden Auction House. There was a multitude of items for sale, including a blurry picture of an ancient sword that dates back to 1000 AC. "If my calculations are correct, the money should be available tomorrow," he looked at the time and put down his phone. Mo Shen whispered a spell to himself, "Hex: Sleep." He closed his eyes and felt the magic of the spell wash over him, easing him into slumber. ***The soft glow of the sunrise creeps through the window, illuminating the desk with a warm, yellow light. Mo Shen inhales deeply, feeling the comforting embrace of the morning's warmth envelop him. After breakfast, he changed into his daily clothing. He wore a white jacket that has a print that resembles a Sakura tree on its left side
