1035: Leveling the Playfield

Leveling the Playfield

Roan then quickly looked at Hunfe, who was still fighting his clones. Unsurprisingly, he was winning since both clones didn't have real weapons and weren't as strong as Roan himself. It had always been like this, especially in the Realm of Gods, where the restrictions on one's power were much greater.1

*Zush!*

Roan immediately used the Enhancement skill on his legs and shot in Hunfe's direction. At the same time, he controlled his almost destroyed clones to do a suicidal attack. Caught by the clones' sudden struggle, Hunfe was forced back, which sent him into Roan's net.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Hunfe was taken aback when Roan appeared in his Divine Sense, thinking that he was still dealing with Gian. He only had enough time to glance in the direction where Roan came from and see Gian's body lying on the ground. "Fuck!"

Following that, he activated his defenses and used a strong wide-area skill. 

'Lightning Discharge!'

That was a special ability of his Lokren Race. They were able to store Lightning Element in their bodies to a certain extent, and that extent would increase as their cultivation went up. If a dangerous situation appeared, they could release this lightning all at once, which even had the possibility to kill their opponent. It's just that they would take quite a few months to replenish this power again. In short, it was more or less a last-ditch attack.

Fortunately for Roan, he didn't lack experience whatsoever. He felt the huge danger that would appear if he got close to Hunfe at this moment and immediately reacted.

'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'

Roan didn't use Shadow Bind on Hunfe, though. Instead, he summoned them behind himself, quickly pulling him away while he himself did his best to change directions.

*Kabrum!*

Sure enough, Hunfe's Lighting Discharge came out, wiping everything around him out of existence. There weren't even traces of Roan's clones once Hunfe was done.

Hunfe looked around and saw Roan in the distance, which was enough for him to sigh in relief. Roan was quite charred, showing that his retreat wasn't quick enough. He wasn't seriously injured, but the Lightning Discharge definitely took its toll on Roan.

*Spurt!*

Unfortunately for Hunfe, he should have paid attention to another thing other than the black-haired twin. 

*Arrgh!*

Hunfe looked at his right shoulder and saw the enormous hole there. In an instant, he immediately recognized what hit him. 'The slaughtering formation!' He was right. One of the formation's projectiles just hit him as soon as his Lightning Discharge was over. Usually, he would be quick enough to react. Sadly, most of his attention was taken up by Roan.

Hunfe wasn't the only one, though. It's just that Roan wasn't known for letting his guard down. The moment he retreated with Shadow Bind, he saw one of the formation's projectiles heading his way. With that, he controlled Shadow Bind once again to dodge it while retreating. 

Roan, of course, didn't let the chance pass up and launched himself at Hunfe. He might be injured, but that wasn't enough to stop him. At the same time, he dispelled the bind holding him and resummoned them in Hunfe's direction. Since Hunfe saw him using it already, it would be useless to keep it for a surprise attack like he did with Gian.

Hunfe was in no way to fight back, so he tried to flee. Too bad that Roan was now faster than him as Hunfe found it difficult to control his Divine Energy because of the injury. Let alone when those shadow vines kept coming out of the ground to try to grab him.

In just a few seconds, Roan reached him and attacked once again.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

The ray of Light and Dark Element came in Hunfe's direction, ready to take his head.

"I-I give up!"

*Bang!*

At that moment, Roan's Crescent Moon was hit by something, dissipating just a few centimeters in front of Hunfe's eyes. As for Hunfe, he touched his neck, just to be sure it was still there.

"Hunfe Calegal from Praler Sect is disqualified."

An elder of the City Lord's mansion then appeared beside Hunfe, immediately taking him away right after.

Roan couldn't care less, though. The moment Hunfe said, 'I give up,' Roan already turned around and began to dash in the direction of the other participants.

On the watching illusory formations, everyone was left speechless with Roan's display. It turns out that Roan didn't even need to rely on that Death World of his. He was more than strong enough to fight Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivators on his own, and more than one at that. Then again, his Death World was also part of his strength.

Fabio, who was watching the competition from inside, felt even more intrigued by the twins, exclaiming inwardly, 'Such strength! Perhaps I can use them for that...'

Roan, of course, wasn't the only one fighting. With the blueish environment that ensured no one could hide, the other remaining Saint Realm cultivators were also fighting each other. With the two eliminations Roan achieved, the numbers went down to five. No, to be more precise, that number was down to three! In the other two battles that happened, a conclusion had been reached as well.

Finally, those three met up at the center of the battlefield while keeping an eye for the formation's projectiles. They also made sure to keep a good distance away from each other at first. It went without saying that the two Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivators, Liafel and Tuniso, were surprised to see Roan there. After all, they did see when Roan was jointly attacked by Gian and Hunfe. It's just that their battles were separated from theirs, so they didn't know the outcome until now.

All three cultivators were quite injured from their own struggles...or so it was supposed to be.

Suddenly, Light Element gathered around Roan, and a heart-shattering sight played in front of Tuniso and Liafel's eyes. Roan... could use the same healing skill as Rean. In just a few moments, Roan was back to peak condition... if one didn't consider the amount of Divine Soul Power that he has used until now. Well, the others weren't faring that well either.

*Clang!*

Roan deflected another projectile before lifting his White Star to point at those two, telling them, "Don't tell me it's unfair for me to heal myself since both of you are one entire realm above me. Let's just say I leveled the playfield. Now then, shall we have a bit more fun?"
