Conquering the Heavens - Chapter 20：First Battle

From the crowd, a tall and elegant youth walked in Hammed’s group direction and said “Hello my friends, I’m Edward from the Thousand Battles Sect and I represent this group. I would like to know what good luck you guys had at the palace.”

Hammed looked at him and said “There was nothing in there, we just got trapped and had to fight lots of mechanical warriors” telling just half the truth.

Edward looked at him and said “Come on my friends, don’t be greedy, just let us see what good things you got”

Hammed looked at him with a serious expression and said “I already told you that we didn’t get nothing.”

Then Rafael said “Don’t you guys think your a little to arrogant questioning us this way?”

As he said that, the people behind him started to take out their weapons. Edward then spoke “I hope you remember that no one can save you in here.”

Hammed just laughed as Rafael and Leonard showed laugh restraint expression.

Edward got furious and shouted “What are you guys laughing at, you should know your going to die soon!!”

Hammed then got serious and spoke in a cold tone “If I was you, I would started worrying about a escape plan. But now it’s to late since you dared threaten my life.”

Although there was a great number disadvantage, all of those here were in the same realm. And one had to now that Hammed and his bros were kings among their realm, unrivaled.

As the crowd of youths started to avance in their direction, the trio already started to circulate their bloodlines. A explosion of three powerful auras could be felt as their body’s started to transform. Rafael, equipped with his scarlet armor and axe summoned mini volcanos and lava from the ground and circulated the groups.

Then the three went into battle killing without mercy. There was no such thing as a strange feeling after killing in this world, if you don’t kill, you are killed. As Rafael and Leonard swag their weapons, head rolled and the ground was painted red.

As for Hammed, he was in charge of holding back against the elites. He pulled his sword from his back and summoned his World Essence Sword Intent as he fought with Edward and two more elites.

Edward was from the Sky Giant Race, so with his bloodline powers, his body became much more powerful.

As Hammed’s sword met with Edwards solid fists, he controlled the elemental swords to attack the other two. After fighting for a while, Hammed waited for the two other elites to put down there guards.

When he saw an opportunity, his eyes turned dark gold as time for him seemed to slow down. Then he advanced at a extreme speed from his battle with Edward and got behind those two. Although them felt him getting closer, he was to fast for them to dodge. Hammed flew with all his power as he stroke his sword at the backs of the two.

Loud sounds of bones breaking could be heard as the two fell to the ground creating a enormous crater. There was no doubt that those two went to Hell together.

See that, Edward eyes turn blood color as he shouted “Your going to regret being born after I get finish with you”

Then he summoned a saber from his space ring and a strong aura could be felt. It was a Peak Earth Level wind artifact. Then a wind passed by Hammed’s body as Edward appeared a little further on behind him with blood dripping from his saber.

Hammed looked down as he saw a long cut on his chest bleeding nonstop.

After that, without any warning, Edward attack again and again. Although Hammed’s eyes allowed him to see things slower, it didn’t mean that he could react to it. Although the speed he got from the time element and bloodline was outstanding, it still couldn’t compare to a boost from a Peak Earth artifact since he was only in the low Essence Plane Realm.

When the injuries stated to heal, they were opened again and Hammed started to bleed a lot. Edward’s voice could be heard as he said “Looks like besides being a eye-bloodline, it has healing powers to, such a heaven defying bloodline. But let’s see how much blood you have.”

After thinking for a while, Hammed circulated his bloodline to the max as time slowed down even more. When the saber was coming at his direction, he left his sword and hold the saber’s blade with his hand, making it pass through his abdomen. As it got stuck, he made a seal with his hand and a elemental sword formed from the fusion of the time-space elements surged in from of him and sliced Edward throat in a second, without chance to dodge.

In his last breaths, Edward whispered as he held his throat”How can you be so ruthless to your self?…” then died.

Hammed looked at the corpus and said “Being ruthless with oneself is to be ruthless with every thing, and that’s the path that a conqueror should chase.”

Then he laid on the ground and his transmission started to vanish. In a merciless manner, he pushed out the saber from his abdomen and putted it away in the space ring.

The cut wasn’t closing since he already used to much bloodline energy. However it already stoped to bleed. With a day of rest it would be okay. Then he sat and observed the horizon.

Front a distance away, Rafael and Leonard walked at his direction. They weren’t that good either, with some long cuts on their armors and chest. The good news was that since their armors were biological-artifacts, they could fix themselves.

As they sat together, Hammed said “Remember this day, it was the first battle we fought together in the path to the heavens. Let’s recuperate for now and get the war spoils latter. Then they sat together in a circle taking recovery pills and taking out Earthly Essence stones to recover their essence…
