77 Bloodbath (1/2)
”Aaaahg!”A young man dismembered his opponent while another youth stabbed him in the back with a dagger that leaked a stinking liquid.
It was a free-for-all!
Getting ready to face the worst, Rainer decided to summon Lerna.
”Lerna!” Rainer shouted as a boy who seemed to have recently turned into a teenager charged against him.
”...”
The boy dodged aside thinking that 'Lerna' was some kind of attack, but apart from the scream, nothing happened!
”Where is Lerna?” Rainer thought as the boy looked at him furiously, he thought Rainer was mocking him.
”Don't underestimate me!” Said the boy as he pulled out needles as thin as a hair.
Xiu!
Rainer ducked quickly before the needles could reach him.
A cold sweat ran down Rainer's back as the needles flew a few centimeters from his body.
”Ugh!”
Behind him, a young man with a thick beard fell to the ground after being stabbed by the needles.His body convulsed and his veins protruded from his skin before exploding in gore.
”This boy is not simple, he is young but his cultivation is the same as mine... ”Rainer thought as he infused his blade with spatial energy.
The air around Scale of Doom seemed to crack as Rainer swung his sword.
The serpent-like long, curved blade seemed to come to life in Rainer's hand as he cut off his enemies and threw a spatial cutting toward the boy who attacked him earlier.
Feeling the danger hidden within the attack, the boy leapt nimbly over the body of another young man and avoided it.
The attack which was focused on him flew beyond his position and decapitated a group of youths who were fighting among themselves, no one saw how such an event occurred but everyone distanced themselves from that area to avoid being the next ones.
The four decapitated youths were like a blood fountain, the blood splashed in the face of numerous people but nobody cared about it while they fought with their lives in the line!
”...”
The boy swallowed saliva after witnessing how the attack targeting him claimed four people's lives like it was a sickle cutting weeds....
”It is not worth dying here, it is not like I need to kill him in order to continue...” The boy thought as he quickly disappeared among the crowd of combatants.
...
At the beginning of the fight, there were about six hundred people in the arena,but only a third part of them would survive.
Rainer was covered in blood and gore, it was not the first time he killed someone, but it was the first time he used such violence.
The thick smell of blood and poison seemed to stimulate more and more the youngs as some of them smiled maniacally while killing or being killed.
Rainer also seemed intoxicated by the atmosphere as he cut down his enemies, the eyes on the blade handle seemed to glow as he harvested souls.
”...!”
Rainer felt a cold air in his neck as the sound of a blade cutting the air could be heard!
It was too late to block it, and he could not use void step without previous preparations, his only way was Lerna's Emerald Scales!
Although Rainer could not summon Lerna, they were connected by their souls, he must be able to use her talents!
”Please, Lerna, help me!” Rainer thought as he used his unique talent to use Lerna's defensive ability.
