Chapter 76 - Silent Massacre (2)

As soon as the countdown was over, Medivh raised his left hand upright upwards and shouted, "Lightning Cage!". When he uttered this word, intense electricity gathered over his left hand at extreme speed, and then it moved into the sky as if it were a yellow orb that was flung up. This yellow sphere of electricity rose ten feet in the sky in the blink of an eye and stopped once it reached that height.

When the sphere stopped in the sky, the three fleeings had taken their steps to get out of the empty area. But when they stepped out, suddenly three yellow-colored lightning bolts burst out from the yellow sphere hanging in the air and each went into different directions, struck them one by one, causing them to scream miserably. After three lightning strikes, three more lightning strikes appeared from the yellow sphere and hit them again, and those who tried to escape continued to be subjected to relentless electrical power.

A total of fifteen yellow lightning bolts emerged from the sphere in just one second, and as a result, those who left the field fell to the ground before they could take their second steps and died after their bodies twitched violently. There was a foul burning smell emanating from their bodies.

When they were brutally murdered, Medivh was still in place, not moving. As for the five men who were still alive, they had a fearful expression covering their faces as they realized it was impossible to escape. The fact that they had nowhere to run led them to attack together.

The first to move was the man from the eighth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. After he had roared, he had leaped forward and swung his long machete towards Medivh.

As the machete came to him with great power, Medivh continued to stand in his place, as if he didn't care at all about it.

The machete went a few inches further in the air, followed by the sound of a cut and then a painful scream echoed. A large amount of blood was splattered around the sound, and unlike a second earlier, there was a human arm on the ground holding a machete.

The man in the eighth of the Nascent Profound Realm who attacked Medivh had his arm severed. Medivh, on the other hand, was standing with his left arm outstretched forward, on which yellow electric currents circulated. There was no sense of pity or mercy in Medivh's eyes at the time.

Medivh emotionlessly swung his hand towards the severed man's neck and easily cut the man's neck as if he was attacking him with a sharp knife. while blood gushed out from the man's freshly cut neck, as if it were water coming out of a geyser, Medivh suddenly disappeared.

He appeared a second later in a different place, and the place where he appeared was right in front of one of the two men in the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm. After emerging there, yellow electrical currents gathered quickly in his hand while he poked his left hand into the man's abdominal cavity.

Suddenly there was a splitting sound and Medivh's hand went out from behind, piercing the man's stomach. After Medivh did this, he quickly pulled his hand back out of the man's stomach, and then he just disappeared like before. At that moment, Medivh's movements were so fast that those who were there could see nothing but a yellow line of light moving around.

Medivh appeared in front of the other man who was in the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm, without waiting, inserted his left hand into the abdominal cavity of the man in front of him, removing it from behind the man as it had just happened.

He quickly repeated this, and did the same to all the remaining men, causing them to writhe painfully over the blood-soaked floor. Medivh had targeted the dantian of his opponents while making his rapid attacks, and with each attack he had heavily damaged the dantian of those he had attacked, destroying their Profound Power development. Since the dantians were severely damaged, they were unable to use their profound energy to stop the blood from flowing quickly out of the injured area. That's why the blood in their bodies was rapidly decreasing. At this rate, they'd be dead in a minute!

After Medivh attacked them all one by one and put them all in the same situation, the electrical current in his body disappeared and, without saying anything to the men curled up on the ground, he turned around with a more tired expression than before and started moving towards where Asil and Lisa were.

When Medivh got to where they were, he looked at Lisa first. Although there were injuries on her, she did not have a wound severe enough to endanger her life. When he first came here, he didn't pay so much attention because he was very angry, but he felt relief in his heart that he realized it now. When he realized that Lisa's condition was not serious, he turned towards Asil, and then a dagger appeared in his left hand.

Asil was a little surprised when this dagger came out, but he didn't say anything. He understood very clearly that Medivh had no intention of attacking him at this time. Asil was just watching what he was going to do.

Medivh slowly raised the dagger in his left hand. He then raised his right hand with the palm facing up, then slightly cut his right palm with the dagger in his left hand, allowing his blood to flow out. He then held out his right hand towards him with the dagger in his left hand and waited.

When he did, Asil understood his purpose. He quickly took the dagger that Medivh had extended and cut his own right palm, just as Medivh did. He then extended his bleeding right hand and squeezed Medivh's bleeding right hand.

When he did so, Medivh smiled and then spoke: "Lisa is someone very dear to me. I can't thank you enough for saving her by risking your own life in such a dangerous situation. From now on, you're my brother. After today, we're Blood Brothers. So if you get in trouble in the future, don't hesitate to tell me. I promise to do my best."

Asil smiled lightly and replied: "Big Brother Medivh, I have not done anything. You're the one who saved her and me... You don't have to feel indebted to me. But I appreciate you seeing me as your blood brother. If you need any help in the future, you too can tell me without hesitation."

After the Asil spoke, Medivh approved with his head, and then after releasing the Asil's hand, he approached Lisa and came to her side, and after crouching, he spoke: "Lisa, you acted impulsively again, didn't you? When are you gonna stop doing that? Don't you know how sad I'd be if something happened to you?"

Lisa regretfully bowed her head and replied: "Young Master... I am so sorry. You broke your promise to your father because of me."

Medivh smiled and spoke to comfort her: "Haha... Don't worry. Even if I break my promise to my father, my father will assign the closest person to call me back. It'll take at least a day for the person he's sending to get here. Then we'll make some excuses and run away undetected. So you don't have to worry so much."

Medivh and Lisa's conversations could be inferred that Medivh's family did not want him to use his electric power and if he did, he had to go back to his house.

After Medivh spoke, Lisa did not respond and continued to remain silent with her head tilted. 

Then Medivh turned towards the Asil and spoke quickly: "Asil, this place is getting dangerous. The monster that created that energy wave was in the Natural Profound Realm, and as far as I understand from the energy, it was definitely not at its first levels. If we run into it, there's a chance I can handle it, but there might be a few more of them. So we better get out of here fast." After Medivh talked this much, he pointed a direction with his hand and continued. "The exit of the Black Dragon Mountain Range is this way. Lisa should be able to walk now. Follow me together. Let's get out of here and get something to eat. I'm pretty hungry, hehe..."

Asil approved with a nod after Medivh talked. Then Lisa stood up slowly with her head still slightly tilted downwards. After she stood up, Medivh took a step forward and others began to follow him.

But when Medivh took his second step, suddenly the voice of an old man came behind them. "Young Master, where do you think you're going?"

When that sound came, Medivh suddenly stopped and quickly turned around. A human silhouette emerged after the sound behind them was heard. This human silhouette belonged to an old man. This man had white beards that extended to his neck, black eyes, a calm face with a few wrinkles, long white hair, and a thin body. But despite this slender and aged appearance, the aura around him was far more oppressive than Medivh's aura.

When this old man appeared, Medivh quickly greeted him with respect: "Master!"

The old man who Medivh called "Master" glanced at the three people in front of him, looked at Medivh, and started talking:" Young Master, you were right to think that your father would send the closest person here. But I've been watching you from a safe distance since you left the house. So, naturally, I'm the closest person. Now you're going home with me. So forget about having fun with your new friend."

After the old man talked, he looked at Lisa and kept talking. "As for you... You are only allowed to be with him at the Young Master's request. But that doesn't mean it's always going to be that way. Pull yourself together! If something like this happens again, you will not continue this mission, even if the Young Master does not want to. Understood?"

After the old man's words, Lisa approved with her head without saying anything. Following Lisa's confirmation, the old man looked towards the Asil and continued his words after hurling a red orb towards him, as same as Medivh had given him: "As I understand you are the friend of the Young Master. This orb I gave you has the power to drive away even the profound monsters in the Natural Profound Realm. The three of us will leave here and go back to the Young Master's house. So you're going to have to leave on your own. If you get into trouble, break what I gave you by throwing it to the ground. When you break it, a powerful aura will surround your body, and even the profound monsters in the Natural Profound Realm will not dare attack you."

After the old man spoke, he shook his hand and three gigantic eagles appeared next to him. The backs of these eagles were at least three meters long and they looked quite majestic. After the Eagles appeared, the old man leaped over the Eagle in the middle and spoke to Medivh and Lisa: "Come on. We're going home."

After his speech, Lisa immediately rode the eagle on the left. She then raised her head slightly and, after biting her lips, spoke in a very low voice, looking embarrassingly at the Asil: "Thank you."

After her words, Asil approved with his head. After the two boarded the eagles, Medivh looked at Asil for a while and hesitated about whether to leave him alone. He couldn't object because his master was here. But he didn't want to leave Asil alone in such a dangerous place.

Seeing his hesitation, Asil spoke quickly: "Big brother Medivh, you don't have to worry. The senior gave me a valuable item so I could get back to the city safely. I'll be absolutely safe with this item. Don't worry about me and go home. I don't want your family to be madder at you because of me."

After Asil's speech, Medivh approved with his head and took a step forward. But after the step he took, he suddenly stopped and spoke again, looking at Asil: "Asil, is there something in the future that you say you would definitely do, or a place that you say you would definitely go?"

Asil replied after thinking for a short time: "I will go to the capital of the Crimson Lightning Empire to participate in the forthcoming Crimson Lightning Empire tournament."

After Asil's reply, bewilderment simultaneously occurred on the faces of the three  They knew what this tournament was like. They were naturally surprised when they heard that this young man in the fourth level of elementary profound realm wanted to participate in that tournament.

Medivh's bewilderment quickly dissipated. He then rubbed his ring and threw a yellow talisman with strange symbols on it towards Asil: "So you will come to the next Crimson Lightning Empire tournament. Okay then. I will wait for you there. Be there."

Medivh boarded the only vacant eagle after he spoke. After he boarded, the old man shook his hand again slightly, and the eagles fluttered their wings and rose up into the sky and soon went too far to be seen by the eye.

After they left, Asil stayed where he was for a short while and tried to quell the anger that had formed in his heart towards the old man. This anger was not caused by him picking up Medivh and taking him home. The reason for this anger was what Sirius, his master, angrily said in his mind after the red orb he gave him. When he got that orb, Sirius said in Asil's mind exactly, "Son of a bitch! He gave a concentrated energy bomb to my student and told him to drop it and break it if he had to! Child, this man does not want you to return safely to the city, he wants you to die without a trace. If you throw it to the ground and break it, the energy will completely destroy you and the twenty-meter field around you. It also draws the powerful profound monsters in the vicinity towards you because of the aura on it. The redhead brat or the blonde didn't know that, but he clearly wants you dead."

That's why Asil had a great rage in his heart against this old man. But to no to make the situation more difficult, he didn't say anything until they left and he acted normally.

No one who was there that day knew this, but Medivh and Asil, who were leaving here and going in different directions, would come back to this empty area one day in the future and thousands would die that day!
