Chapter 54 - Stupefied (1/2)

Amidst all the chaos and war occurring all over the world, there was a small piece of land in a dense forest not too far from the Empire and the United Federation. In this piece of land existed a small village of less than one hundred people

The village seemed full of life as plots of lands were glowing a vibrant green and a few animals could be seen being herded into a farm. A clear spring was flowing through the village providing clean water for the happily playing children

A game of tag was currently happening, and the giggles in the area came to a stop when one of the children fell down and scr.a.p.ed their knee. The boy had small tears forming in his eyes as he bit his lips and tried keeping his mouth closed

A sweet laughter rang out as a young woman walked from the distance and bent down towards the boy, her hands releasing a white light as they neared the scr.a.p.ed knee.

In a few seconds, the scr.a.p.e disappeared and the boy rose up full of energy once more, completely forgetting what just happened as he went running again

”Thank you, Sister Sophia!”

The boy left his thanks as he went back to his groups of friends, leaving the young woman to pick up her bucket of water and continue heading to the clear stream.

The woman was in her late teen years, showing a head full of white hair that flowed down to her back. She had white and tender skin with crystal blue eyes that seemed to smile to anyone who looked at them

She had reached the stream and was putting in some water when there was a change in the air. Her blue eyes underwent a transformation and became blank white as a bland voice different from her own escaped her lips

[...A pivotal moment is approaching…preparations are nearly complete...]

The change didn't last too long, and the girl's eyes turned blue again as she continued with her task.

A bewildered look had appeared on her face before it quickly changed to understanding as she placed the bucket above her head, dirtying her clear white hair as she moved towards one of the plots of farms.

The small isolated village had a transparent blue screen covering the area all around it. It was common knowledge that nothing could come into the village, and the villagers themselves could not venture out. It seemed like a small self sustainable paradise that would not be tainted by the horrors of the world

One man above, a colossal turtle below.

The turtle was roaring in fury to the skies as it looked at the small human that had a calm expression on his face. Destruction of this scale was only possible when a being used the entirety of their energy and potential. This fight was over. The human would stand no chance after this

It had observed the extravagant amount of energy and attacks the human had thrown out. Even if he were of the same rank as he was, he should be running out of energy. Especially after that horrendous attack that nearly tore through his hard sh.e.l.l

The Mephitic Turtle would not let the human recover as it decided to use its full primessence to release the deadliest attack and obliterate the figure above it.

It had already used up more than half of its essence trying to snipe this enemy away all this time, but most of his attacks missed, or even if they hit they weren't too effective as the human quickly healed himself.

This human was the only threat in this battlefield. The rest of the ants struggling in front of it were nothing in his eyes, and just his body would be enough to crush them.

After he was finished with them, he would meet with that fearsome guy that he could already sense the aura of and finish their a.s.signment here. Maybe after all of this was over they would be given some freedom. It shook itself out of its reverie and focused on finis.h.i.+ng the task at hand

It's limbs sunk into the earth as it absorbed any energy around it, its head facing up and unnaturally opening its jaws so wide that it seemed his head was split in half.
