He slammed his sword into the ground. The earth erupted in a massive spray of razor-sharp particles, engulfing all four demons. They screamed, clawing at their eyes as the sand tore into their exposed flesh.

Marco was already moving. His blade swept in a devastating arc, catching the first demon across the throat. Black blood sprayed as the creature's head tumbled free. The Darkblood Demon Sword pulsed, and Marco felt a surge of vitality flow into him—the weapon's Blood Drain ability activating

    He leaped upward, both Blood Holy Swords appearing in his hands as he reached the apex of the jump. When he came down, he drove both blades simultaneously into the earth.Blood Burst erupted outward in every direction, crimson power fountaining from the impact points and spreading through the ground like cracks in ice. The earth split. The power traveled through the fractures and emerged beneath the formation's feet.The Knights activated Holy Light Barrier, overlapping their defensive fields into a wall that had stopped assault techniques from twice Marco's current power level.The Blood Burst reached the barriers and tore through them like cloth meeting a blade.Marco moved into the formation before anyone could reorganize.A crimson shape moved through the squad, each pass leaving the formation smaller. Skills hit him from every angle and he absorbed them, his physique enhancement making Early Second Transition attacks irrelevant. His vital energy output at this tier was simply bet

    The scouts found Samuel three miles from the main pursuit line, their faces carrying the particular pallor of men who'd seen something they needed to describe but didn't want to."Report," Samuel said, not breaking stride."The forest to the north, sir." The lead scout kept pace beside Samuel's horse, his voice strained. "Hundreds of bodies. Maybe more. We couldn't count accurately because parts are scattered significantly."Samuel raised a hand and stopped his column. "Scattered how?""Severed, sir. Arms, legs, torsos. The blood smell is overwhelming from fifty meters out." The scout paused. "They're all our men."Samuel turned his horse slowly, looking at his senior subordinate."The First Transition target?" his subordinate asked."No," Samuel said, his voice carrying the absolute certainty of someone who hadn't been wrong in twenty years. "Impossible. First Transition trash doesn't produce massacre fields. Whatever killed those men is something different.""Then what?""The warrio

    "Kill him now while he's adjusting to new power!" someone shouted from the back, still upright, apparently made of sterner moral fiber than his colleagues. "He just advanced! He doesn't know his own strength yet! Take him while he's disoriented!"Several dozen melee fighters stood up from their knees and charged together, deciding greed was stronger than divine pressure.Marco watched them come. "I should mention something," he said."Don't," the lead fighter snapped. "You've killed enough of us already, stop talking and fight.""Blood Transverse Sky," Marco said. "Second Transition Level Eight."The fighters slowed, uncertain."That's impossible," the lead fighter said, his charge losing momentum. "Outsiders can't master skills above Level Four inside the wasteland. That's the suppression law. Everyone knows it.""Do they?""Yes! It's the entire point of the wasteland's existence! Level suppression applies to skills as much as cultivation! You can't use a Level Eight skill here!""Wa

    The Mages tried to Flicker behind the Knights mid-cast, their technique half-formed, and Marco's Intimidate hit all four at once for the second time in three minutes.Two who hadn't moved yet watched their colleagues stagger sideways and fall."What kind of skill specifically ruins Mages?" one said, genuinely asking."A very good one," Marco replied, and killed all four before anyone found a better answer.He turned to the remaining two Knights.One looked at the bodies. Then at Marco. Then back at the bodies. He nudged his partner with his elbow and said nothing.His partner said nothing back.Neither of them advanced.The reinforcements came through the tree line before the silence could stretch further. A hundred soldiers minimum, thirty archers positioned at the rear, their arrows already nocked."There he is!" someone shouted."Demon-breaking formation!" someone else ordered.Thirty arrows found Marco's arms and legs before he could close distance. He pulled them out one by one,

    The waterfall saved him.Marco reached the cliff edge at the exact last moment and jumped, his body plummeting into the pool below. The Life Lock Arrow followed, its tracking magic disrupted by the sudden submersion. The arrow hit the water and lost cohesion, its power dissipating into the current.Samuel arrived at the cliff edge moments later, looking down into the noise and spray and churning water below. He saw nothing. No body. No blood trail. Nothing to confirm the kill.He gestured sharply to his soldiers. "Down. Find him."The troops began descending the cliff face, their movements coordinated and professional. They expected to find a corpse or someone too wounded to pose a threat.They were wrong about both assumptions.Underground, somewhere in the water or maybe in the forest afterward, Marco was on his knees beside five bodies. His hands were shaking, though whether from blood loss or something else, he couldn't tell. The arrow had gone completely through his back, leaving

    They walked until the town disappeared completely behind them, swallowed by distance and landscape. Louise stopped at a clearing where sunlight broke through the jungle canopy, illuminating a patch of bare ground.She cut her fingertip with a small blade and let blood drip onto the stone. Her fingers moved in patterns that drew runes of light, each symbol burning brighter until the entire ground glowed with power."Those favored by their birth dimension can call it from anywhere," she explained, stepping back from the completed array. "Opens a temporary portal home."Light rose from the runes, forming a doorway that shimmered with invitation. Louise stepped through without hesitation.She arrived in a grey hall of stone and marble, the architecture speaking to wealth and old power. Her eyes immediately searched the space behind her for Marco.He wasn't there.The door opened before she could process the absence, and her brother Roland walked in. He was pale and handsome in the way fam
