30 Reinforcements (1/2)

As the battle drew on, it only became more and more chaotic. The city lord suddenly launched a terrifying wave of lighting from the swing of his sword.

”Rage of the Thunder Wolf!” he yelled out as the lightning turned into a massive wolf of lightning that rushed at the man.

There was an ugly look on his face as he uttered, ”Demon's Avatar.”

A figure made of darkness appeared in front of the him and took the enormous wolf head on. However, the wolf's charge was too strong and destroyed the avatar before crashing into him. However, the avatar had managed to give him a second or two to evade it. Unfortunately, he did not come out unscathed and his right arm had been hit causing him to feel enormous pain. Burnt to a crisp, it fell to his side unable to move.

The fight came to a stop as the both of them struggled to stand. Even though the mysterious man was of a higher cultivation, he did not have any special equipment like the city lord. Furthermore, he did not expect this fight to be as long as it is. Fortunately, the city lord was in an even worse situation than him. To continuously fight like this must've been extremely exhausting, the city lord could barely stand up and used his sword to support him.

The man sneered as he started walking towards the city lord.

”It seems like this battle is over”, he said, ”Such a shame, but don't worry, I'll be sure to put the bodies of your people to good use.”

The city lord was furious but could barely move around, that last attack of his had used up the rest of his inner force. He could only await his death but if that should be the case, he would detonate his body and kill the man in front of him. He was responsible for the city and his citizens! To be unable to protect them would make him a failure as their lord.

The man slowly walked towards him and stretched out his hand for the city lord's neck. Several soldiers tried to block him and take him down but all it did was send them to their graves.

As the city lord gritted his teeth and prepared to detonate, but the he heard a swift cut followed by the sound of something falling to the ground. He opened his eyes to find the man's hand on the floor, leaving a small pool of blood. When he moved his eyes, he saw a girl wielding a sword taller than her, it was clean of blood as if it had never been used before despite having just severed a hand. The city lord then recognized her as Ming Yue, someone that former commander Su had mentioned to him.

Everyone was shocked. When did she move and most importantly, when did she attack? It was so sudden that no one knew what had exactly happened. They stunned by this sight especially the man who had just lost his hand. To think that she would attack when his guard was down was preposterous. He was close to reaching the Heaven Realm, a feat that could happen to one out of several million people. Yet a little girl in the Human Realm had managed to harm him, this was humiliating and he would not let this go without killing her.

”If you think that your little stunt is going to save him-”.
