DRIP DRIP

A murky red liquid flows outward

Into the scorched earth around it

Making a puddle before anyone could notice

Drops becaer until

GUHAA

A wave of blood spurts out fro it to a broken da

And then, the body drops

Whose body?

Of course, the arht I would be ripped apart for a second there?

I'm really not trustworthy am I?

Anyway, to explain in simple terive hie before I could react

And that's saying so his claws adorned with pale blue flaht at me

I noticed it

It was only a minor detail but

That moment, I found its weakness

I didn't even know if it could work that tiae was his movements

There was no preliminary movements

There wasn't even technique behind his strike

He purely attacked me with just raer and speed

Not that there's anything wrong with that of course

But in all the years I watched the old man

I never saw him forsake his technique for pure power

Because what he always told ”}

The state he is in is horrible

Literally dozens of swords are piercing his whole backside

Those swords wereinto particles

And gathering into my core

By core, I mean my [Aura Core]

It's a passive skill when I use [Aura Convergence]

This is where the gathered aura is stored and athers aura fro 10 meter radius

Meanwhile that old e

When I look to the front of the old

I a except

”A disaster”

The entire area is scorched

The green trees, flowers and grass are nohere to be found

Absolute devastation

Black rocky substances that you couldn't even call earth anymore

With molten rocks and flames decorate the pathway

This is evident as far as I can see

And I can tell you now, in this present state

I can see very, very far

Scary

Was I going to be like that?

Burned out of existence?

No way, I wouldn't accept that kind of ending

I'

Because if I didn't

Just call me Mr Ash

No, I don't even think ash would re

The last sword disappears into particles

I uard down

Yes, I'rab the old ht

He really looks terrible
