The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 286
Thud.
Fell’s leg kicked the ground under him, and his figure sped through the destroyed area east of New Casablanca as he continued advancing toward the fight a few kilometer forward. His sensed gripped the ground, feeling the minute vibration originating from the surreal battle happening in the distance.
He gazed at the remnant of their fight through his eyes, noticing the destructed terrain around him, filled with the mixed energy resulting from their confrontation.
Fell picked up numerous information as he sensed fiery volcanic energy and weightless volatile particles that scintillated in the air. At their levels, any one of their moves could leave deep gashes and injuries on the face of the Earth, that pulsed with the energy left from the attack.
“I can pick up a type of energy similar to the other entities… It’s that guy!”, he thought as he remembers the strong intent in the transmission of the entities’ leader. “Then… Is the other a friend, or a foe?”, he mumbled as his memory was void of any knowledge that could help him.
He put the matter in the back his mind. His eyes glinted as he gazed at the distance, his eye pupil turned grey as a potent energy of the spatial element began appearing around him.
His figure turned vague and distance, as he took a step before disappearing through the void. His body reappeared, under one of the many layers existing inside of space, as he began making his way through a straight tunnel.
The entire travel felt as though it had been slow, yet in reality, the moment he stepped through space, he immediately reappeared in an area closer to the ongoing battle.
A mountain inside of his area shivered, before exploding in thousands of pieces, among two pieces could be seen two streaking arrows that seemed to have just left the rope of a bow. One red as though it was kindled crimson by the temperature on the bedrock, while the other resembled white falcon streaking through the air.
Fell’s eyes glinted as the figure in the distance cleared in his eyes, his leg moved, as he avoided the path of the falling rocks coming from the falling mountain. The next moment, he saw a flash of light appear around the two figures, a multicolored flash of light exploded in the sky, before Fell noticed that the two individual had already moved thousands of meters from the impact of their movements.
His head turned left, and right, as he gazed at the energy peaking in the distance, both opponents face each other thought kilometers that separated them. He couldn’t help but noticed that he was standing in the nearly in the middle of the distance separating them and swiftly took a step back.
His step turned into a jump, as his figure turned into an arrow that repositioned himself away from the falling pieces of rocks.
He saw the two high speeding figures arriving from the distance; in a split second, their speed drastically reduced as both opponents choose different tactics the same moment their sight was filled with the falling rocks from the destructed mountain.
“Can I fight that…”, he mumbled softly as he saw the figure of a red haired man rebounding on the rock.
His hands, and legs, made small supports on the numerous rocks in front of him. Fell noticed the minute movements, and couldn’t help but be impressed with the man’s natural technique. The red haired man turned into a slithering crimson snake that slid along the rock, moving from on the another as he entered a blind spot in the field of vision of the flying entity.
The entity’s technique was completely different, as the moment it had reappeared, it didn’t stop at any moment as its wing turned into sharp swords that destroyed anything in its passage.
Thol’Yr’s flying figure didn’t stop for even a moment, and didn’t notice the red haired man inside of the sea of falling rocks and fist-sized pebble. It could sense that his opponent was also nearby, and it also knew that he wouldn’t be the type to flee away. As they had begun releasing their real technique, one could say that the result of their attack was a phenomenal shockwave that would send their figures tumbling away, far in the distance.
“Where is he?”, mumbled Thol’Yr in a low tone as he continued plowing through the falling rocks in his way. At some point, he stopped in his track and gazed at a normal large rock in the distance, and time seemed to come to a standstill as his mind entered an intense, focused state.
Thol’Yr could swear that the rock had moved slightly off of its original trajectory. The difference between reality and his the results of his own computation ability made that fact bugging to his mind. Ever since he had acquired the power of attuning with light, and had broken through to the third realm, his mind had attained a state that could no longer be compared to other life forms.
To him, even his eyes could see wavelengths that were hidden from the eyes of mortals. Radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays hid no secret for him, as he could see that as one could when looking at the gigantic yellow sun burning in the sky.
Yet the entity quickly resumed its movement, acting as though it didn’t notice anything and continued speeding through the falling rocks that had turned into a static asteroid that hovered in the sky.
Fell felt a cool breeze of air in his mind, as his face had reddened slightly from focusing too much. But he didn’t stop, as he was curious about how the fight in front of him would unfurl.
His eyes didn’t blink, as he was hell-bent on not missing any frame of the fights that was slowly happening in front of him.
“He noticed him!”, thought the black haired man as he noticed the minute change of facial expression in the winged entity. That, accompanied by the large loss of speed that happened before it, was a show that aligned with Fell’s thought.
What had begun continued, as the red haired man slowly made his way toward a high angle that would open up the angel’s back. A smirk hangs on his face, as the goal of his action wasn’t to take the man’s life. Third Realm cultivators couldn’t be taken down like that, and he knew that the probability of his plan having already been read.
Worst comes to worst, he only needs to close enough gap with the entity to unleash his strongest fist. A technique, he rarely used as it completely disabled the member he would use during the attack. And one could only imagine that, with a technique that sacrificed a limb for the user, could only tremendous damage to the one who receives it.
Space-Time’s clock ticked as frames of the fight slowly overlapped in Fell’s sight. And before long, what was vowed to happen, happened as the red haired man slithering came to a stop after one last grip on a rock. Only this time, the redirection, and the power transmitted through his hands was completely different.
The massive rock that had weighed a ton or two turned into dust as a red haired figure streaked through the air.
“Its happening!”, nearly exclaimed Fell as he felt the gust of breath accelerated down his throat in a last gasp that contrasted with the slow image his eyes were picking at that moment.
In reality, the scene happened nearly in an instant. And from the moment Fell had appeared before the destruction of the mountain, to the moment right before the impact of the red haired man’s fist, less than three seconds had passed during all the events.
The red haired man tightened his fists, the skin in his fist reddened before darkening, his mouth opened as a hot breath condensed into a fire that hid his face. His cloudy eyes gazed forward, as he noticed that winged entity had noticed him her wings already flying toward him in instant reaction time.
“Yeah… Just like that… Continue approaching.”, Akainhmar thought as he waited patiently for the right time to release his attack.
He was aware the reflex of the winged entity could be assimilated to light speed, and that it would be only with a perfect execution, and a perfect timing that he would manage to successfully walk toward victory.
“Blooming Sun.”, those two words appeared in the corner of his mind as he unleashed his forbidden technique.
His dark fist was sent forward without any hesitation, While a smug face appeared on the face of the entity.
Thol’Yr had seen through every step of the red haired man, and had never been afraid of facing him in the condition he was looking for .
Ascending him from a higher angle wouldn’t change anything, it though as it unleashed her strong wing forward- in a piercing motion that seemed to shred the fabric of space.
“From here, my vital organs are safe, and won’t be able to cross the space in front of me without receiving instant retaliation from my legs!”, Thol’Yr smiled widely as it watched the red haired man’s figure advance through the air.
