BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443 Khorza'an's Chosen
Flaring his aura to its limits, the man swiftly dashed forward at the fastest speed he could muster, infusing the energy of his Intent into his saber along the way. With every step he took, the saber seemed to grow heavier and heavier under the vision of these five beings, yet the man still wielded it with ease.
"Die!" Once the man was only a small distance away from the five, he unhesitatingly swung the saber down, letting out all of the energy from his Intent that had accumulated within his saber in one destructive move.
Jumping back to not get caught in the aftermath of the attack, a proud smile gradually crept up onto his lips, thinking that the five would have been grievously injured by his attack, if not debilitated.
Whoosh!
However, contrary to his expectations, the attack that he had put all of his strength and energy into was casually swatted away by the being at the center, instantly turning all of the hope and courage the man had while fighting against them to dust.
"Is this all you\'ve got, human?" the being at the center asked with a deep voice, a slightly disappointed gaze in his expression. "If so, then your resistance is useless."
"Guh…" Gritting his teeth in anger and indignance, the man looked at the five beings with far greater killing intent than before. Before his mind could even think about it, his body already began to move in the direction of the five beings, hoping to inflict at least a slight injury to all of them.
Being the last one among them to remain standing, the man witnessed how the five beings appeared near the rift to the Akashic Battlefield out of nowhere, rendering almost all of the people wanting to enter the Akashic Battlefield dead with just a couple of moves.
Though the people in uniforms, just like him, were stronger than the masses due to their job needing it, with some picking up combat experience before being hired, it only delayed the inevitable for them. Just like the people that came before them, they turned into nothing but a puddle of flesh and blood, staining the ground a crimson red.
"Graaaahhhh!!!" Seeing as his body wanted to at least avenge the ones that had fallen before him, the man decided to go all in on what might just be his final attack, infusing all of the energy that remained within his body, channeling it towards his saber alongside the Intent he had used earlier.
"Intent of the Mountains!"
"[Mountain Cleaving Saber]!"
Bang!
Wanting to make sure that every possible ounce of strength he had in his body was sent through the saber he wielded, the man seemed to have a new state of comprehension, pushing his understanding of his Intent one step further. Naturally, this delighted the man, surprised that he would make a breakthrough in the midst of battle.
However, just as he thought that the improvement to his Intent would be more than enough to at least deal a bit of damage to the five…
"Truly useless…"
Whoosh!
Bang!
"Gah!" The man\'s attack was casually dispelled once more by the being at the center, looking at the four other beings that accompanied it for a bit before proceeding to send out a punch in the man\'s direction. Infusing it with all the strength and comprehension it could muster, the being\'s punch landed squarely on the man\'s chest, forming a hole as the man was sent flying.
Thud.
Falling to the ground a fair distance away from the five beings with a thud, the man tried to get up once more, a look of fear and desperation appearing on his face once he noticed the large gaping hole that now existed on his chest. Feeling energy gradually disappearing from his body, the man pushed his body to stand up…
Only to breathe out his last once he did.
"With that, there are no more witnesses." Staring at the man that died while standing up, the being at the center eventually turned around to look at the large portal that existed behind them, feeling the connection it had to another space.
"Gaar, are you sure we\'ve killed all of the humans within this area?" Looking at one of the beings beside him, the being at the center threw a question.
"Gaar made sure no one escaped." Hearing the question, Gaar nodded in response. "If you want to be really sure, Gaar suggest you ask Kraag as well."
"Kraag also made sure no escaped." Hearing his name being mentioned, the being named Kraag backed up Gaar\'s claims. "Went around the perimeter to kill all humans that tried to escape."
"Don\'t worry too much about it, Meirat. They made sure they did their job well." Just as the being at the center was about to ask yet another within their group if none of the humans had escaped, one of them decided to put the being\'s mind at ease. "I know this is your first mission from the Emperor himself, but don\'t sweat too much on the details."
"Plus, as one of Khorza\'an\'s Chosen, shouldn\'t you trust in your comrades more?"
"Hreig…" Meirat, the one that had been asking questions all this time, looked at the man that spoke up for the others. After becoming silent for a while, he slightly nodded before letting out a low sigh. "I got too caught up in the details."
"How much time do you think we have till other humans are notified of this incident, Murak?" Staring at the last being that had yet to speak out, Meirat threw out a question at him.
"From the information we\'ve been given on how long the humans\' shifts are, about four hours, give or take." Briefly glancing at Meirat, Murak spat out an answer that prompted the former to nod in response.
"Guess we have to make the most out of it." Taking in a deep breath, Meirat moved closer to the rift that led to the Akashic Battlefield, with Hreig and the others swiftly followed him. Looking at one another as they nodded, the five shouted in unison before proceeding to enter the rift.
"For Emperor Khorza\'an and the prosperity of the Empire!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Whoosh!
