Chapter 52 - Heavenly Brick (1/2)

As he got out from the dense trees within the mountain, Herald slowly walked towards 5th Eye. His facial expression was the same as his previous fire clone. However, every step he took was abound with murderous intent. It was extremely oppressive.

Seeing Herald moving towards him, the 5th eye only stretched out his hand and waved. Around him, a huge magic circle appeared which gave birth to a hundred sabers that shimmered around him.

Even after seeing a hundred sabers, the Herald did not back down. his body was releasing an extremely hot pressure. It was as though the heaven and earth lose all temperature.

” Burn, explosion,” Herald said softly as a huge red flame suddenly burst out from the magic circle.

The surging flame formed a huge fireball and shot towards 5th Eye. The huge fireball ignited a sea of fire behind it, It was as though the sun was crashing down into the huge mountain.

” Shield.” 5th eye did not even panic as he saw the huge fireball coming his way. Instead, his facial expression was very sinister and ruthless as he was looking at Herald in front of him.

This was a mission entrusted to him by the Progenitor and failure was not an option. Not to mention the result of this mission was the key to the rise of the Eye, something they have been dreaming and planning for a long time.

As the huge fireball got pretty close to the 5th Eye, the hundreds of sabers formed a metal shield as the sabers joined to together as though they had become one huge metal wall, with the 5th Eye behind it.

~Boom!~

The huge fireball clashed against the 5th Eye sabers' shield. The intense collision caused the ground to tremble. Numerous gigantic trees that were nearby got uprooted as result. The splintered midair before being burnt to a crisp by the remanent of the huge fireball.

The 5th eye was alarmed as he was forced to take a step back. Although he did not suffer from this clash, he was using his hundred sabers shield which was his ultimate and unbreakable defense, while Herald just shot a huge fireball.

Even though he did not know which tier that magic spell was, but he did not expect to make him step back and even damaged five of his sabers.

The 5th eye was a void mage that could control flying weapons, but he preferred sabers. Unlike most void mages, his power is limited to is a spiritual force rather than mana.

The stronger his spiritual force was, the more powerful his sabers' attack power could be. Mana played a huge role as well, but it was secondary. His spiritual force controlled how fast and strong his saber attack could be while his mana basically controlled how many sabers he could summon, which was a hundred max. Nonetheless, he preferred having a strong spiritual force which would allow him to kill a 9th call mage with a single attack than being able to control a lot of sabers which lacked the attack power needed to kill or pierced the defense of a strong opponent.

The weird thing about his ability was the fact that, whether he controls a hundred sabers or just one, the attack powers was the same. As such, he'd rather use all hundred sabers rather than one. It would allow him to defend and attack at the same time.

Soon after the huge fireball scattered, the hundred of sabers did the same and flew towards Herald on their own not to attack him but surrounded him. The hundreds of sabers surrounded Herald without any blind spot available.

Seeing as the hundred flying sabers changed direction and surrounded him rather than just attacking him, Herald did not panic because he already knew about that weird ability of the 5th eye. He could manipulate his sabers and made them do whatever he wanted with just thought.

When the 5th eye thought that he had cornered Herald, something unbelievable happened. A huge magic circle appeared underneath Herald's feet and six balls of flame burst forth until the transformed into six-person who looked exactly like Herald. Which means, there were seven of him within the hundred sabers formation.

They all looked the same and their body was giving out the same aura. It was almost impossible to differentiate the real one from the fire clone.
