Spirit Guardian Summoning - Chapter 77 Bloodbath

“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.

…

At the top of the mountain, in a simple room crowded with small snakes and vipers, a skinny old man looked boringly at a copper mirror.

It showed live scenes from the struggle the teenagers were going through, but he didn’t seem to pay much attention.

“Only the best ones can survive in this world…” Murmured the old man as he watched how teenagers killed each other in order to be accepted into his sect.

“Our methods may be the most ruthless, but our fighters are also the strongest warriors!”

“There goes another grieving soul…!” The old man witnessed how Rainer was about to be stabbed when a golden scale armor covered his body and blocked the attack!

“A Beast Warrior! And his transformation is ideal for our techniques!” The old man grabbed the mirror tightly as he closely watched Rainer’s actions.

…

Time seemed to slow down as golden scales covered his body, his heart was beating so loudly that it seemed to reverberate all over the battlefield.

Clang!

A blade hit Rainer’s scale-covered back causing him to step forward by the impact force, someone tried to cut him in half!

The adrenaline and fury from being in a deadly situation caused Rainer to squeeze the grip on Scale of Doom as he swiftly cut towards the aggressor.

The youth who licked his lips while imagining how Rainer’s body would be cut in two never imagined that such an unexpected situation would happen!

A petulant smile could be seen on the face of the young man who attacked him before being replaced by a terror gaze.

Slash!

The young man’s head flew and rolled several times before landing in a pool of blood, his terrifying expression was frozen forever.

His body shook a few times before he fell to his knees and being kicked by Rainer.

Rainer’s eyes were wrathful as he looked at the people surrounding him, although he didn’t know why, they all looked at him like they had seen a ghost.

He ignored his glances and stabbed the nearest enemy in the chest.

The young man coughed up a large amount of blood after being stabbed in the lung, eventually he drowned in his own blood….

“That guy is a beast warrior!” Shouted a young man as he backed off.

“What’s he doing here with the novice disciples!”

“He must have hidden his strength to kill everyone else!”

Surprisingly, all the people around him distanced themselves, all those present were at the manifestation stage and knew that without a magical treasure it would be impossible for them to shatter the protection of the transformation.

Rainer’s golden scales were covered with blood, under his feet a small red pool had formed, along with his appearance as a predator after the ‘transformation’, it made him look like a monster.

…

“The battle is over!” Shouted a middle-aged man assigned to guard the square and prevent runaways.

The man smiled after looking at the crowd of youths bathed in blood who looked at each other like beasts, the purpose of this bloodbath was to remove the delicate flowers and pick only the strong stems capable of withstanding the harsh winter.

After this bloodshed, these young people would know that strength is the only thing that would allow them to control their fate, fuelled by their desire to reach the pinnacle.

These methods were rejected by the other Great Sects, but the results obtained year after year in the competitions between the sects showed that the Viper Sect was a hard nut to crack!

“This year we even have a beast warrior…hehehehe…” Said the middle-aged man while laughing.
