War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 24

…

With a flash of his thought, Xin Ja suddenly appears before the door ignoring the battles that are happening everywhere around him.

Without hesitation, he suddenly extended his hand to open the door.

But right at this moment, a strong killing intent appears behind him. Without hesitation, he suddenly tilted his body to the side and dodges a palm strike that is directed at his back.

Xin Ja suddenly grabs the arm that was about to strike him and then using his ability to craft suddenly controls the physique of the water-like figure that attacked him.

This water-like figure actually looks like him.

But after a few manipulations, that figure suddenly changes, and instead of becoming hostile towards Xin Ja, it actually became docile.

“Hehe… Guard this place… Kill anyone who dares enter…” Xin Ja commanded as he opened the door and enters.

Those around him that are still fighting the figures that looked like them were all flabbergasted. They did not know where that person came from and what just happened, but they did not have any time to think.

Without hesitation, the humans used the glowing stone and turn their bodies into solid blocks with very high defense.

Meanwhile, the green-skinned demons suddenly gobbled the drugs inside their pouches and their eyes suddenly glowed red.

With the increased strength, the demons and the humans trampled over their opponents. But of course, everything is not that easy. Because if it is… they would not have spent years trying to enter that door and it was to the point of working together with the enemy.

After pushing the water figures away from them, they all rush towards the door. But then suddenly, the supposed to be fallen water figures suddenly melted and then slowly formed in front of the door blocking their path.

“Damn it! Break through their lines! We must stop that person who just ran inside!” shouted one of the human knights.

Meanwhile, the green-skinned demons who thought that the humans had tricked them realized that the humans seem to be in a rage.

The one who understands the language explained to the rest of the green-skinned demons what is happening so they too became enraged and quickly charged at the water figures blocking their path.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja has already entered the door and was a bit shocked because he could tell he just passed through a dimension.

As he tried feeling the chaotic Ki in the air he soon realized something.

“Am I back on the other side?” he thought.

The reason for this is because of the increase in Ki that he is feeling right now.

He did not have time to think as he suddenly felt something strange hiding in the darkness.

He quickly takes out his new sword and walked towards the distance where he could see a few lights coming from.

After walking for a while, he soon could see many statues that look like giant humans.

“Those are Shens… the powerful Shens of this world…” he muttered while looking at the statues.

He then looks at the murals on the walls which seem to tell a story.

According to his understanding of the murals, it happened about 3 thousand years ago.

A Shen while trying to break through has accidentally had enlightenment with regards to the law of space and time. This understanding might not be that deep and not yet profound but it enables him to see the space and time particles around him.

He told three other Shens about this discovery and the three of them had a tacit understanding of going to the other side of the planet without waiting for the ascension to happen.

After planning for many years, he was finally able to create a stable portal that would take him and his companions to the other side.

In their excitement, they left everything as they have an inkling that they might not need those things on the other side.

Soon, the three figures exited through the door and arrive at the other side.

Upon arriving, they began to explore and noticed that the other side lacked Ki energies. Plus, after a few hours of arriving on the other side, they realized that their powers have suddenly been suppressed and they are getting too weak.

They wanted to go back, but it was already too late.

He watches as his two friends died in front of him as their powers dissipate and their youthful appearance slowly becomes old and finally they turn into dust.

He used everything in his power to go back and finally he was able to once again enter that door.

Once he was on the other side, his power slowly returns but his lifespan is already at its end. He wanted to convey this truth to the whole land… he knew that no one would believe him.

And so, with his remaining life, he wrote these murals for those that might discover this passage and warn them of impending doom to those who will enter that forbidden door.

The man also created a trap to the other side that would protect that door from those that might enter this world.

“So that was a Shen’s trap… No wonder it is this powerful…” Xin Ja thought as he shakes his head.

He too has an understanding of space and time, so now he is curious about how deep the knowledge that this senior has arrived into that he is able to open a portal by himself.

Xin Ja began to explore the dungeon, but then as he was about to enter a vend, he saw a shadowy figure appears.

Hiss!!!

That thing seems to also saw him and quickly darted at his location.

The creature is still at around 100 meters and is at the edge of Xin Ja’s Absolute Sense. So he was astonished that the creature was actually able to see him.

Throwing a few bone runes on the ground, Xin Ja quickly lowered his stance.

As soon as he did, he saw a figure that looks like a human with a snake’s head.

It was actually a demon.

But the movement of this demon is uncannily fast.

With a twist of his hand, he slashes at the incoming claw of the creature.

Clang!

He hit the claw and was able to deflect it. The demon staggered a few steps back, but before it could recover from the clash, Xin Ja has already slashed its thigh.

Hiss!!!

The demon hissed as it glared at Xin Ja. Then without hesitation, it once again lunges an attack in his direction. It is now aiming at his body.

With a twist of his wrist he swings the blade using a reverse blade strike, and at the same time strikes the same location, its thigh.

This time, he wounded the snake and quickly rolled on the ground to get a distance from the demon.

Hiss!!!

The human-snake demon glared at Xin Ja but soon suddenly began rubbing its eyes. After 5 seconds, the demon seems to have actually lost its sight as it began to wave its claws all over the place in rage and panic.

“How long will this effect take?” Xin Ja thought as he began counting down by the seconds while continuously backing away from the demon.

60 seconds later…

He noticed that the demon began shaking its head as it slowly regains its sight.

p<anda> “Hmm… So the blindness could last for 50 seconds…” Xin Ja muttered as his figure once again flashes. </anda>

Before the demon could regain its sight, several slashes have already appeared on its body.

The more slices the demon received, the fast the status effect would activate. Plus, the more the wound he inflicts, the longer the blindness effect would last.

Since he has done 5 slices, it took about 5 minutes before the snake demon could once again regain its sight.

“Haha… This is really neat…” he thought as he finally slices the head off of the snake demon and absorbs its Ki.

Suddenly, Xin Ja stopped in his tracks as he soon realized that there are more demons coming their way. The reason why those things did not rush in this location is because of the bone array he threw. The purpose of those things is not to protect him, but to negate the sound of their battle.

He needed a test subject and since he got one, then he did as he wanted to. But it seems that there are more coming his way.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja flings his hand and threw a few more bone rune arrays on the ground and created a small barrier. He then drags the body of the snake demon to that barrier to hide it.

From his Absolute Sense, he could tell that there are three demons coming his way. It seems that these demons just came from a deadly fight above ground. Judging the wound they have shows that they might have encountered some humans.

“It seems that more test subject is coming my way…” Xin Ja thought with a slight smile on his face.

But of course, he is now curious about why would the demons and humans be fighting in this place.
