The Story Never Ends

"Andreas, you are really shameless. Is this the way you want to take your revenge?" Davion scoffed while gazing at him with disdain.

"Humph! Are you forcing me to come after you by using your mouth? Do you think that it will work? I'm not a kid." Andreas didn't take his words seriously at all when he knew that he was not a match against him in a head-on fight. So, it was better to gang up on him like they were doing currently.

They all had unleashed their domains and were surrounding him from all directions giving him zero chances of escaping.

"What a pity…" Davion took in a deep breath and set his sights upon the Nascent Soul warriors who were floating far away from this area.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless." He made up his mind and rushed straight in their direction. However, it was not as easy as it sounded. This was because he had to bypass three late-stage Domain Realm experts of the Golden Lion Tribe who were protecting them.

"Hehe, he is indeed a cunning fellow."

"Yeah, we had guessed that he would go for the weaker ones at first."

"But he is underestimating them. Can't he realize that there must be some purpose in bringing them here?"

"After all, why would we waste our future talents in this way?"

"You two, it's enough. He is here."

"Leave it to us."

Among the three of them, two were brawny wearing heavy armor while the last one looked skinny with not a single piece of armor.

The two brawny guys referred to as Holden and Heath were the ones who decided to go in. Thus, they disappeared from their spot and appeared infront of Davion in the blink of an eye.

Heath had a pair of gauntlets and Holden was carrying a halberd in his hands. At one glance, Davion could recognize that they were higher-grade spiritual weapons just like his sword.

Heath instantly threw a fist at him while Holden hacked straight towards his face and Davion responded in a similar manner. Replying the fist with his fist and the halberd with his sword.

"BOOM"

Powerful shockwave spread in a circular radius pushing away all the weaker warriors in the air.

"Damn, is this the strength of someone at the late stage of the Domain Realm?" He cursed inwardly as his body shook and he could feel their fiery Qi rampaging inside reaching all the way to his internal organs.

If he wasn't proficient in flame energy and didn't possess the heavenly body, then he would have definitely suffered badly from just this blow.

Next, they exchanged a few more blows and Davion could only remain in a passive position. Heath and Holden complemented their attacks perfectly making it impossible for him to retaliate. Especially, Holden was the more troublesome one.

His strikes were getting heavier and heavier as time passed forcing him to use both of his hands to hold the sword. Otherwise, he would get easily overpowered.

"This sword is definitely not suitable for me." He missed his previous weapons.

"If only I had a long and bulky weapon, I could have changed the tide of this battle." Moreover, not a single ounce of sword knowledge hurt him dearly.

This sword was short, light, and flexible appropriate for someone who had mastered agile sword techniques that didn't thoroughly depend on strength. Nevertheless, this style of fighting was utterly opposite to his style.

He had long been battling and demolishing his opponents by his overbearing physical strength with just a couple of swings with his weapon. He needed no tactics, styles, techniques, or anything. It was as simple as that. Thus, this sword was useless in his hands. Especially, infront of these top experts of the Golden Lion Tribe.

"It looks like I have to use the special ability of this sword." This was the last good thing remaining in this sword. So, to use it, he dashed out from their range by abruptly bolstering his movement speed.

"Swish."

Nonetheless, he didn't feel safe here but instead the feeling of danger intensified causing him to frown.

"Arrow of the Burning Lion" Tracking this voice, he noticed that it was the third late-stage Domain Realm Warrior who had been silent all this while making a move.

The skinny man fired a two-meter-long arrow inscribed with an imposing 6 feet tall bow. There were various runes inscribed on both of them indicating that they were one of the best higher-grade spiritual artifacts.

Hence, one could imagine the power they could burst out when used at once. It was tremendous and earth-shattering. A phantom of a three hundred feet big, gigantic golden lion made from flames emerged overlapping the moving arrow.

One could see it running like a real lifelike beast and approaching Davion at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

"My God! That bastard must be waiting for this opportunity. Here I was thinking why those two didn't chase after me when I created some distance away from them." He was speechless. It looked like they had a great understanding of each other's skills.

"Let's go white flames." In response, Davion injected tons of his flame energy into the sword causing it to buzz and his domain to shrink rapidly.

"Eh! What is happening? Is this sword bugged?" He had a puzzled look on his face. Shouldn't his domain become way stronger and bigger than it was previously? Why was the inverse effect taking place?

While he was pondering, his domain reduced to the size of about only 50 meters radius before eventually stopping. This scared him out of his wits. But the next change made him smile.

White flames were swiftly released from the sword which coalesced together with his red blood domain flames creating a unique never-seen type of flame domain. It looked like a mixture of blood red and white color.

When this flame came into existence, another surprising thing happened. All the Domain Realm Warriors who had unleashed their domains felt it being suppressed. The suppression was so huge that the domains of the early stage and the middle-stage warriors vanished into thin air.

This alarmed them and made them panic.

"What is this domain?"

"How can we be subdued in this way?"

"I only experienced this feeling in the presence of elders of our tribe."

In the case of late-stage experts, they were also not finding it easy. Their domains weakened by at least half. This included Hector and Siena who were battling on the ground.

Due to this shell-shocking phenomenon, they paused their fight and gazed towards Davion.

"Woman, where did you two come from? The moment I saw your flames I was curious to know your identity. After all, there are not many flames that can beat the flames of our Golden Lion. Furthermore, his flame seems even more powerful than yours, despite it resembling yours a bit." Hector asked what he had had in his mind since the beginning.

Siena didn't reply to him as her mind had become a mess. She was in a state of disbelief.

"Firstly, how can these two flames co-exist together when they have completely different properties?"

"Secondly, why did it happen in the first place? This sword should only be releasing a domain similar to mine but in a smaller radius?"

"And last but not the least,…"

"Haiz, it's useless to think about these. There are too many questions I want to ask him. Besides, will he even tell me?"

She shook her head and thought, "Everything about him is mysterious and I don't know anything about him."

In the air, the burning arrow had managed to reach a few meters ahead of Davion. However, its destructive power had considerably plummeted. The phantom of the Golden Lion was flickering and seemed to vanish any second.

"Although I don't understand a single thing occurring right now, I know what I have to do. I just need to wipe out these bastards." Davion excitedly gripped his sword.

But he broke out in cold sweat when he perceived that the sword wouldn't move despite being held in his hand.

"Fuck. I will definitely suffer if this is the case." He cursed and put his other hand on the hilt too. Then by using all his strength, he was barely able to swing it. The sword made an arc like how a batsman hits a cricket ball.

A vertical wide beam of his newly born flames rushed straight ahead destroying everything in the path. The burning arrow was the first one to bear the brunt.

"BOOM"

With solely a slight contact, the arrow exploded into pieces causing a devastating explosion.

At the same time,

"Puchi-"

The skinny expert of the Golden Lion Tribe coughed a mouthful of blood and clutched his chest in pain.

"Cough, cough-"

"What is this power?"

"How can a higher-grade spiritual artifact collapse this easily?" He stood there gazing at the beam of flames heading in his direction with a questioning gaze.

"Henrik, run away."

"Have you lost your mind?"

"Why are you not moving?"

Heath and Holden cried out in concern as Henrik would certainly die if this flame touched him.
