Chapter 130: Divinity (1/2)

With blood trickling down my palms, I bellowed in laughter. Aside from my skin that cracked at my palm, I was perfectly unharmed. A faint dragon's roar could be heard as Dragaonsbane felt my excitement.

While a faint shimmer of darkness could be felt as I eyed the men before me in hunger, every move, every step, every touch, it all leads to my death. I needed to run, but I would not flee. The difference was not that great... I could win...I will emerge victoriously.

”Sem,” Lor said with a hollow tone, ”WE need to hurry. I need treatment; my back is...I am losing feeling. His blade seems to have some poison on it. I am starting to lose feeling in my legs.”

Kicking off forward towards Lor, the weak link Dragonsbane split into hundreds of images. However, all was a trick as my real blade suddenly twisted like a serpent stabbing Sem's defenseless chest.

”EH?” said Sem as he leaped away, touching the shallow gash against his chest. A look of shock could be seen as my smile grew brighter. Suddenly a powerful kick appeared as I raised my arm up, blocking as my bones began to quake.

BOOM!!!

Feeling I was slipping back, I frowned, twisting, allowing the force to be distributed. Pushing true intent into my body, I began dodging like the wind as more killing attacks flashed towards my vitals like an endless storm... Studying the form of Lor and Sem as they attacked together, my skill began to take off. Most people understood wind as speed, but it was so much more. I could feel the air shift allowing me to understand the smallest movement they make, but what gave me a deep edge was the Element of Lightning.

Since we all have electrical charges running through our bodies, it became far too easy to dodge attacks as I could predict their next move with almost one hundred percent accuracy by following the electrical current flowing through their bodies.

I whispered, putting a name to the technique I am still developing. Using the concepts of wind and Lightning, I could predict the moves of enemies. While it also allows me to perceive all movement within a four hundred meter radius.

This arte didn't really require any qi, but rather mental energy as holding the Elemental Ether down was a tiring ordeal. However, I had trained my mental abilities since birth with my mind palace.

With a flash of thunder, I appeared behind Sem in a ray of black light. My body could not truly be tracked due to my darkness element. Smiling, Dragonsbane suddenly shot forwards deep into his lungs. My goal was not to kill but to wound. Everyone always defends their Vitals with the highest degree possible, but the rest of their body is not so well guarded.

Getting a killing blow was not going to happen. I needed to weaken them down. Sidestepping like a gust of air, I dodged as a spear strike came my way, trying to pierce into my skull. Massive shockwaves began to echo out as we clashed over and over again.

Blood began to drip from their bodies as my hands were starting to turn numb. I finally understand why Lilith said, ”If you don't have Dao, you are almost guaranteed to die against a soul bender. The Dao of Heaven is all but within our grasp at birth.”

The more I battled, the more this battle became easier. Lowering my head, I swiftly dogged as a spear came towards my head. Taking a step forwards, my knee shot into Lor's stomach just in the spot to destroy the vital energy he was using to keep his spine together.

Smiling at his despair, I watched him dropped like a puppet without a string. However, how could I let my enemies fall so easily? Gripping his head, I tossed Lor into the air before skewering him with Dragonsbane.

”NOO!!!!” Screamed Sem as he tried to rush at me.
