Death… And Me

Chapter 1788: Hidden Card

Chapter 1788: Hidden Card

"Hahaha!" Luina suddenly laughed out loud in response. "You underestimate me too much. Those twins might just be in the Late Stage of the Transition Realm, but they're a lot stronger than your common Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivator. Otherwise, why would I go to such a far away continent like Jhiod? It's because I knew of them. Let's see who'll have the last laugh."

Himisve snorted in response. "Hmph! So what if they are stronger than my Transition Realm subordinates? They can't do anything against me." He completely ignored the approaching twins and charged down where Luina was located.

However, his Divine Sense suddenly felt the presence of several Nascent Soul Realm beings there. The only weird thing was that those Nascent Soul Realm beings were not there before. They simply appeared out of nowhere.

"Now!" Luina suddenly bellowed as Kentucky, Celis, and all the others launched themselves against Himisve.

Himisve immediately got the wrong idea, though. He saw how Rean and Roan quickly approached from his back while Luina's flying stars made a U-turn around those Nascent Soul Realm enemies. "Ha! Are these ants supposed to act as a distraction while you attack me? Naive! Watch how these idiots turn to a crisp inside my Scorching Domain!"

'Storm of the Ardent Void!'

Once again, Himisve used his skill, creating another fire tornado mixed with Space Power around him. Not only that, he made sure to focus most of his attack's power against the flying stars from Luina, as he considered her to be the greatest threat there. Just to be safe, Himisve also redirected some of the power against the attacks coming from Rean and Roan.

However, His Divine Sense saw something that he couldn't believe. "How's that possible?!"

Kentucky and Celis' group weren't killed by his Scorching Domain. Well, they looked to be somewhat affected by it, but that was all. Only then did Himisve's Divine Sense notice that Kentucky's group wasn't at the Nascent Soul Realm anymore. Instead, they were all in the Late and Peak Stages of the Transition Realm! "Y-You!"

*clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...*

Sure enough, his Storm of the Ardent Void did defend against Luina's attacks. However, Kentucky and Celis' group had free passage because of that.

'Kawa Blade Domain!'

Kentucky immediately activated one of his father's skills, making countless feathers appear, attacking Himisve from everywhere he wasn't defending himself.

Then, Celis followed.

'Divine Energy Draining Prison!'

Tens of thousands of roots surrounded the entire area and started to absorb Himisve's Divine Energy at a ridiculous rate, decreasing the power of both his Domain and his attacks.

The others also launched their own attacks, all aiming to take Himisve down.

Hismive finally understood as he thought. 'I see! Luina and the twins behind me were just a distraction. The ones who were aiming to truly take me down were these bunch of Transition Realms. That Demon Bird can even use Space Power and a Domain itself. No wonder Luina brought them here. I don't know how they got this bunch to escape the Cultivation Suppression Formation's effect. However, if you think that this is enough to take me down, you're dreaming too much!'

After deflecting Luina's flying stars, Himisve used another skill he had kept hidden until now.

'External Supernova!'

Soon after, all the Fire Element in his entire Domain gathered around his body in a flash as all the Divine Energy he could still use concentrated there. For a fraction of a second, Himisve seemed to have transformed into a huge ball of fire.

*BOOM!*

That ball of fire immediately exploded outwards without any warning, sending Kentucky's group flying like cannonballs. In the end, Hismive was still someone at the Peak Stage of the Space Bending Realm. He had especially aimed the attack at Kentucky's group as that was his most vulnerable point at that moment. Since Luina was also in the direction Kentucky's group charged against him, that meant she would have to avoid his attack before she tried to do anything else.

And so, that only left the twins behind Himisve. However, Himisve couldn't care less. If even that surprise attack couldn't take him down, let alone two puny Late Stage Transition Realm cultivators. His External Supernova might not have sent much power in the twins' direction, but that should have been more than enough to send the twins flying or even kill them. All he had to do now was recompose himself and take Luina down. Well, at least that's what he thought.

Unfortunately, Himisve's natural spatial perception noticed two streams of black piercing through his External Supernova. As mentioned before, Space Power attacks appeared like a black hole or a black patch, for this matter, in people's spatial perceptions. Of course, the twins' attacks weren't different.

*Zush, zush!*

The twins suddenly passed through the scourging fire and space power of Himisve's External Supernova, appearing like two human torches. However, that was all external. The twins' bodies were being protected by their own Divine Energy and Space Power.

Normally, they would have never been able to defend against this. But since most of the External Supernova's power was directed at Kentucky and Luina's group, this amount was still possible to cope with.

'Enhancement!'

'Death Scythe!'

'Flame Emperor Sword!'

Seeing that, Himisve immediately moved his sabers to counterattack. "Courting death!" Even if he didn't have time to prepare any other skill, just his remaining Divine Energy and Divine Middle-level sabers should be enough to deal with two Transition Realm ants.

His saber shone with saber intent, which was at the second level. His muscles were constrained as he met Rean's sword and Roan's scythe. 'So what if you can use some Space Power. When fighting against a weapon's intent and Space Power, your Space Power alone means nothing!' said Himisve through a Divine Sense message.

Rean and Roan smiled after hearing that, just before their weapons met each other. 'Is that so? Thanks for the advice!'

'Sword Intent!'

'Scythe Intent!'

Both at the third level!

"What?!" Himisve's shock was obvious for everyone to see. 'Third Level Weapon Intent, Call of the Weapons! Impossible!'

Unfortunately, it was too late to dodge or stop the attacks. The twins left their trump card hidden until the very last moment.
