Death… And Me

Chapter 1786: Himisve comes out

At that instant, Grumol was left aghast by what he was seeing. Reanʼs group was completely annihilating the Nascent Soul Realm soldiers, and the front lines were crumbling like a sand castle. ”Theyʼre crazy! They must be crazy! The Rambram Sect will definitely come out and punish them!”

Of course, Grumol didnʼt waste time and immediately warned Xanmica and Himisve. ”What?! You canʼt be serious! Are they trying to destroy our forces before they get interrupted by the Rambram Sect?”

”We must stop them right now!” exclaimed Xanmica. ”Even if the Rambram Sect comes over later to take them away, our army will be pretty much lost, and thereʼd be little we can do.”

Himisve had his doubts, though. ”B-But... if I fight against them, Iʼll also be acting against the rules.”

However, Xanmica insisted. ”We have no choice, young master Hismive. If it continues like this, weʼll lose nonetheless. If we move to stop them, at least weʼll have an excuse, saying that they broke the rules first. If we donʼt move now, weʼll lose any chance for the future regional wars.”

Himisve gritted his teeth but admitted Xanmica was right. ”Fine! Letʼs go! Iʼll take care of Luina, so you guys stop the two Transition Realm guys. You said Luinaʼs Transition Realm subordinates are still in the Late Stage of that realm, right? If thatʼs the case, you better finish your side fast.”

”Yes, young master!” Grumol and Xanmica immediately agreed.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Rean, Roan, and Luina continued to rampage within Tramara Countryʼs forces. However, it turns out that the number of deaths was many times smaller than one would expect. Thatʼs because Rean, Roan, and Luina were using wide-range attacks that could take the enemies out of combat but gave them a very big chance of surviving. Sure enough, it wasnʼt as if they liked to display their powers against such low-level opponents.

By the time Himisve came out of hiding with Xanmica, tens of thousands of soldiers were already wiped out or were too injured to continue fighting. And they hadnʼt even clashed against Butiva Countryʼs forces yet. 

”Stop!” Himisveʼs forces were in the numbers of five million, so the losses werenʼt that high yet. However, it would continue like that for a long time if Himisve didnʼt join the fight. With that, he quickly found Luina within their group and shot forward through the skies.

ʼScorching Domain!ʼ

*Ahhhhh!*

*Arrrgh!*

His Fire Element spread around the area, raising the temperature to intense degrees. Himisve didnʼt have the leeway to care about the soldiers on the ground, though. His Domain was definitely killing a lot of his soldiers below him. However, he had to go all out so that he could stop Luina as fast as possible. The deaths accumulating due to his Domain paled in comparison to the number of deaths that he would have to deal with if he didnʼt stop Luina there.

Sure enough, Luina felt Himisveʼs Domain close around her before she activated her own. 

ʼKarmic Wind Domain!ʼ

One needed a very high control over space to be able to create a Domain around the user. Obviously, each Domain had its own properties, and they were mostly used to increase the advantage of the userʼs elemental abilities.

Himisveʼs Domain was quite straightforward. It was a simple Space Power and Fire Domain that further increased his Fire Element skills.

Luinaʼs Domain was different, though. Her Domain used Space Power and Wind Element, sure. But it also used her raceʼs power to see karma threads. By manipulating it, she knew exactly where the most useful places inside her own Domain were to launch and defend against attacks. Thatʼs because the karmic side was connected to both her and her opponent. It was very similar to the ability she used against Roan during their fight. Of course, when she fought Roan, she didnʼt use her Domain since she suppressed her cultivation to the Initial Stage of the Void Tempering Realm.

Himisve and Luinaʼs Domain clashed against each other as they used their own skills.

ʼStar Fall!ʼ

Luinaʼs flying stars spread around her Domain, taking the positions the karma threads showed to her. Soon after, they disappeared and reappeared everywhere, attacking Hismive from all sides.

Himisve wasnʼt any slower, though. If anything, his higher cultivation made him even faster. He brought out what seemed to be a pair of sabers. Not only one but two of them, both at the Divine Middle-level.

ʼStorm of the Ardent Void!ʼ

His saber danced amidst Fire Element and Space Power, creating a tornado of fire as he shot in Luinaʼs direction. Space around it distorted, showing that he didnʼt hold back at all.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...*

Himisveʼs sabers and Luinaʼs flying stars classed hundred of times as Luina retreated at full speed. Himisve knew that Luina was a long-ranged cultivator, so he didnʼt find it weird that Luina continued to escape. The only thing that bothered him was that Luinaʼs speed was a lot faster than he predicted, even though he had already considered her Wind Element Affinity.

ʼSearing Space Movement!ʼ

Without thinking twice, he also used his movement skill, increasing the temperature and making it look like he melted the space around him.

Luina faintly smiled and did the same.

ʼWay of the Wind and Space!ʼ

Her own movement skill activated, easily matching Himisveʼs speed. Wind Element and Space seemed to become one as Luina mounted the gales to keep herself far away. At the same time, she continued to attack with her flying stars.

ʼLuring him away from the masses was quite easy,ʼ Luina thought.

One must remember that Rean and Roanʼs plan was to defeat Himisve far away from prying eyes.

Meanwhile, Rean and Roan were doing the same. Not only that, they looked to be struggling as they fled and counterattacked Grumol and Xanmica. ”Fuck! Didnʼt Luina say she could finish her battle fast? Where is she?!” Rean asked with an angry voice.

”Donʼt ask me! Just hold on!” Roan answered straight away.

Xanmica and Grumol were furious, obviously. ”Do you think you can escape with that cultivation of yours! Dream on!”
