I was flying ahead, everyone hidden in a seal I created. I convinced them that since I was the strongest among us, it would be easier to let infiltrate the planet alone before getting them out of there.
Descending to the planet was quite easy. The Laws were being distorted since that Cursed energy was being emitted by that Avatar still trapped in the chains.
I also noticed that the planet that had been abandoned less than a few hours ago was very quiet. I landed on the planet in a deserted area. I didn't find any obstacles to the point of strangeness.
I went to a nearby city and the people were still living normally, with only a few discussions about the portals that can be seen in the sky. The population doesn't understand that they have been abandoned or that they are at the rcy of an invader who will soon arrive.
I leave the people alone and with any luck they won't be massacred. That's why I'm handing this world over to them on a silver platter. I hope there won't be any unforeseen events in that regard at least.
"< Release >" ()
Arriving once again outside the city, I go to a more isolated place and undo the seal that trapped my companions. The crystallized blood card with a flashing Law Rune falls to the ground and breaks as they all appear in front of .
"We have a problem..." ()
I point upwards. Each of them looked at the few portals that can be seen in the sky outside the planet. There are more that cannot be seen on other planets, but they clearly have different opening tis.
So of them were beginning to emanate energy and distort the space inside them. In the portal I pointed to, it was possible to see a gap forming in space as if it were being sucked into the portal.
"Any idea how much ti we have?" ()
"4 hours, if you're lucky..." (Wendel)
"..." ()
"Do any of you have a Law that allows you to track the flaws in the Law of this planet or track enemies?" ()
"I can do that, but only if I know the enemy." (Barerosa)
"I can do that too, but now it's impossible." (Ernani)
"What do you an?" ()
"Barerosa uses her desire to find targets, whether they're people or objects, but I use fear..." (Ernani)
I look up, it wasn't possible to see him still tied in chains up there, but we could all feel that presence, it was impossible not to feel sothing so disturbing, especially after having seen it from so close.
Ernani didn't need to explain much, I think I understand how his power works, he uses his fear to identify the greatest danger, a technique that wasn't made to track an enemy but to escape from the greatest enemy.
"Barerosa...?" ()
"< Law of Desire: Pursuit >" (Barerosa)
From his eyes, two Law Runes ford glowing dark pink, pink lines ford at the corners of his eyes as his head turned in a certain direction.
His eyes didn't flicker or move, they were focused and Barerosa's eyes began to tremble as his voice suddenly beca tense.
"Commander... he's already... here..." (Barerosa)
Tremor
"< Law of the Moon: Fragnted Barrier >" ()
Suddenly the ground where we were standing shook and the trees in that direction fell to two opposite sides forming a straight line where we had an unobstructed view of him sitting on top of a rock, only when we looked at him did we notice his presence.
He seed to be amused by our presence, but I didn't take my eyes off him for even a second, in front of Barerosa and Wendel there was a circular silver barrier made of materialized energy fragnts, there were 2 finally decorated bone spears stuck in the middle of the path.
"You know kid, you're starting to sound annoying." (???)
"Who are you?" ()
"I'm just a rcenary who's being paid very well, it's nothing personal." (???)
"Forgive for not believing you." ()
Sothing was strange, he'd been following us for a while now, but he never showed any desire to attack until Barerosa realized his position and that's when he attacked her, but I don't understand why he attacked Wendel at the sa ti.
He's acting too calm for this situation, that ans he's the bait to get our attention while soone else is doing whatever it takes to summon an Avatar, maybe he's already started the process to do it himself and then ca here to buy ti, that would make more sense to .
"< Law of Eclipse: Dagger of the Threshold >" ()
Crack
"< Summoning of the Fallen: Sword of Bones >" ()
As a part of space shatters into a sharp shape that soon becos the strange blade of a dagger that reveals a universe full of stars around an Eclipse, I hold this dagger in my hand and feel the power of the Law of Eclipse coursing through the blade.
As if responding to my movents, he nods to the ground a little in front of him, his hand was palm down, a single drop of blood fell from his hand and as it collided with the forest floor, ripples spread across the terrain as if it were water.
This whole place beca strange when a bizarre presence erged from the ground below him, skeletal hands appeared all covered in cut marks as they dragged a sword upwards, in fact just the hilt of a sword that that man holds.
His entire presence changes as he holds the sword, his presence becos filled with murderous will and coldness as I see his eyes lock onto , the glow in his eyes was that of a combat maniac.
As soon as the sword was pulled out it revealed yet another large amount of bones gathered in the shape of a very large sword.
The sword had a large spine that extended through the middle of the blade, ribs extending from this spine, the rib bones were straight and with their joined ends stuck in what looked like a red crystallization incandescent like fire forming the serrated blade, this crystal emanated a Demonic Aura, on the other side of the blade it was as if there was an open skeletal wing, a fernting energy took over the sword forming ethereal red feathers behind it.
It was a scary sword just to look at, but being in a fight against soone wielding this sword was strange in many ways, it was as if this sword was marked by each kill made, as if the sword was alive in so way.
I didn't know what sword that was and honestly it didn't matter, my mind was following the man's actions at the sa ti as it was thinking about the reasons why he had tried to hit Wendel before, it couldn't have been without reason.
Fortunately I found the answer quickly, it was quite obvious, Wendel has power related to space, regardless of the type of technique this rcenary is using or where, the only constant is that it will cause so effect in space, whether it's to break a rift or open a gate, either way it will cause a reaction in space and if this Avatar is that powerful, then the reaction in space should be big enough for Wendel to track.
"Wendel, he's trying to buy ti, go to the right place, follow the reactions in space, he can't be that far away!" ()
"I really can't go easy on you, can I?" (???)
"Save your provocations for soone who cares!" ()
He and I advanced at the sa ti, our Auras clashed before our weapons t, but instead of coming at , he tried to step to the side, taking advantage of the montum to leave behind while he tried to attack Wendel.
That bastard was being a nuisance, without thinking twice I threw the dagger at him, forcing him to defend himself, which in turn increased Wendel's chances of escaping.
The rcenary used his sword like a wall of bones, successfully blocking while a large cut mark ford, he spins without moving, using his strength to the maximum to kick at .
I don't dare to take that blow, so using my strength in my fist, I try to punch his wrist, making the sword tremble in his hand without falling, he grips the hilt of the sword more firmly.
"Why do you keep attacking!?" (???)
"I have nothing against you guys, I even let you live last ti, I'm really just doing my job, it's just business!" (???)
"Just shut the hell up, you crazy psychopath!" ()
Baaammm!!!
Baaamm Baammm!
My dagger and his sword collide over and over again causing a wave of destruction around us, I never face his strength head on, I try to use my blows as best I can, but the cuts on my body were starting to accumulate.
I spin my body hitting his arm with my elbow, then lower using a kick to make him fall, losing his balance in the process, which didn't happen.
"I'm getting tired!" (???)
"I'll finish you off and then go after that Ascendant from space!" (???)
"You can try!" ()
Once again we ran towards each other, this ti, he disappeared halfway while smiling.
"He fell." ()
