317 The Five Minutes is Up (2/2)
'This is probably some kind of illusion formation. But when did he set it up? He shouldn't have had the time for it at all!'
Lahain knew that asking Ruik to stop it would be useless. They are opponents stacking their lives, after all. So he could only think about attacking Ruik in the distance.
Unfortunately for him, this is Ruik's Dream World! Because Lahain hasn't comprehended any Laws, he didn't notice that this isn't an Illusion Formation. If he had, he would be able to notice that the Laws in this place aren't exactly like what the real world should be.
There are ways to escape the Dream World even if one doesn't know Laws. But because Lahain didn't even know what the Dream Laws were, he couldn't possibly know how to escape it either.
He kept attacking Ruik, but every time he got close, Ruik would disappear and reappear somewhere else. As for the City Guards and everyone else, they aren't really real to start with. So they don't have any power to what so ever. In fact, Ruik was supposed to attack Lahain's real body in the real world while his opponent was trapped here. If he had done that, the battle would have been over already.
Still, Ruik wanted to see just how far he could keep someone with much higher cultivation than himself inside there. The fact is that Ruik already had a hard time keeping the dream world on going. After all, the Difference in cultivation is still there whether he likes it or not. Especially now that Lahain is using vast amounts of Spiritual and Elemental Source energy.
Lahain soon noticed that the world around him warped every time he used a lot of energy. With that, he decided to try it out and concentrate all his energy on attacking the world itself. Sure enough, the changes in the world intensified, and soon, the Dream World broke apart.
When Lahain finally came back to himself, he could hear his subordinates shouting at him.
”Lahain, attack, attack! Stop wasting time!”
”Lahain, what the hell are you doing?!”
”Lahain, five minutes is almost up! You are going to lose!”
Only now did Lahain notice the City Guard Captain and Ruik on the other side of the Field. Ruik was sweating rivers but still kept straight. After all, Ruik didn't suffer any physical injuries, it was just that his mind was exhausted.
Lahain knew that if he didn't move now, everything would be over. He immediately brought his Sword out of the Spatial Ring and charged at Ruik. But just as he was about to reach him, the City Guard Captain appeared in front of him and stopped the Sword with his bare hands!
Lahain looked at him, surprised. Just a few more steps, and he would have sliced Ruik in half.
”The five minutes are up, it's your loss.”
Lahain obviously didn't want to accept that outcome.
”That wasn't fair, he used an Illusion Formation and trapped me inside! I couldn't do anything for most of the time at all! He shouldn't have had enough time to set up this formation, so it was obviously a trap made ahead of time by him or someone else. The challenge is not valid!”
Boom!
The City Guard Captian then lost his patience and kicked Lahain flying! Lahain couldn't possibly defend or dodge a Peak Void Breaking Realm Cultivator. If the Captian hasn't shown mercy, he would be dead already.
”Illusion Formation? What bullshit are you even talking about? From start to finish, there wasn't a single formation in this place. What he used has nothing to do with formations at all. It was, without a doubt, his own strength!”
The Captain looked at Ruik and asked.
”What is your name, kid?”
Before coming to the Hakasha Galaxy, Krune's group decided to change their appearance and names again. In fact, a lot of those who stayed in a place like this would continuously change their appearances and name as well. The Captian knew that and was just asking so that he could address Ruik somehow.
”My name is Kiur.”
The Captain nodded and then said.
”Nice Laws you have there, Kiur. I'm impressed to see someone using the Dream Laws at such a small cultivation realm. You must have a frightening background.”
The truth is that Ruik was lazy to even select a name, so he simply decided to use his name backward.
”Senior is too courteous. I'm still far from mastering it.”
Although Lahain was injured, he still heard everything they said. Of course, he still didn't know what the Dream Laws were, but he had a vague idea of how it worked just based on the name. First of all, he couldn't believe that he was paired against someone who knew laws. Just how many Early Stages Divine Soul Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts out there know Laws to start with?
The Captain looked at Lahain and then added.
”You should be thankful. Kiur could have finished this battle in the very first seconds. Your body was completely exposed, and all he needed was to cut your head off or piecer your heart. You would die inside the Dream World and wouldn't even notice.”
Lahain felt a chill on his back when he thought about it. Indeed, he had stayed still doing nothing for almost five minutes. That was enough time for even a Foundation Establishment to kill him over a hundred times. Let alone a Divine Soul Realm Demon Beast.
”If I just didn't accept that idea and had fought the 4th stage guy instead. It wouldn't turn out like this.”
Krune and Ruik looked at each other after hearing that and burst out in laugher.
Ruik then looked at lahain and said.
”I wonder if I should tell you that I'm not my friend's match. Ops, I already said.”
Everyone then looked at Krune as if he was a monster!
Krune didn't mind the attention, though. After all, everyone in his group changed their appearances and names. Whether they remember his face in the future or not will matter not for him.
