Chapter 582 - Fun Time Is Over

Roan's hair changed into a mix of black and white before he attacked. Escape? Such word didn't pass through his mind even for a second. At least, not against an opponent of this level.

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'

In a blink of an eye, Roan disappeared from his position. Even Roce had some difficulty following Roan's trace.

Not good!

"Ermio, dodge!"

Unfortunately, that was too late.

'Death World!'

In an instant, Ermio's vision went black, leaving him only his Spiritual Sense to rely on. However, the chance was too abrupt for him to react in time.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

Ermio was frightened as he saw Roan's sword coming at him at breakneck speeds. It was simply much faster than his own attack. That being said, Ermio immediately gave up his attack and raised his blade, trying to block that flash of black and white light. 

Usually, Roan would be able to avoid Ermio's blade due to his higher speed. However, Roan didn't wish to do so. He wanted to test Rean's new sword, and the best way was to clash it against another weapon.

*Swish!*

Ermio's face went pale as he saw his Earth High-Level Sword cut in half.

'What kind of weapon is that?!'

Unfortunately for Ermio, that was his last thought before being cleaved in half together with his sword. However, the Crescent Moon was an area attack, so it didn't stop there as the flash of black and white light went straight for Luvia on the back.

'Impossible!'

Luvia had more time to react, though. She immediately gathered her Lightning Element and used her movement skill to dodge... or so she tried.

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

Immediately, several shadow vines came out of her own shadow, locking her body in place.

"What?!"

Shadow Bind wouldn't be enough to hold a cultivator of Luvia's level down. She only had to use her Spiritual Energy and blast the vines away. That's how weak they were. However, she needed time to do that. That was exactly the amount of time Roan's attack took to reach her body.

Luvia saw how Roan's attack cleaved through both sword and Ermio's body. There was no way she would be able to defend against that. All she could do was gather as much Spiritual Energy as possible to create a Spiritual Energy barrier, trying to block Roan's attack. Of course, that would be far from enough.

However, just as the Crescent Moon was about to cleave Luvia in half...

*Kabrum!*

A spear came down from the skies, cleaving through the Black and White Energy and ultimately stopping Roan's White Star in its tracks. Light and Dark Element clashed with each other before an explosion of Spiritual and Elemental Energy come from the point of contact, forcing Roan to jump back.

A man then fell in front of the Lightning Spear and took it from the ground before looking at Roan. In an instant, Roan noticed the Bloodline Mark on his head, which seemed different from Frandin's mark.

"Human, you dare ignore my presence."

It turned out that it was Roce who had appeared. Roan then narrowed his eyes as he looked at his trembling hands.

'This guy also infuses his attacks with Soul Power. Back in Sunkan, that level of Elemental Power wouldn't have held Rean's sword back, especially since I'm using both his and my elements together. It's impressive that although the Zasfins are weaker when it comes to Spiritual Energy and techniques alone, their Soul Power more than makes up for this gap.'

Luvia sighed in relief before looking at Ermio's bisected corpse on the ground. However, this time, fear ran through her body. If not for Roce, she would have died together with him.

Roan then looked at Roce and was just about to talk when all of a sudden, his attention was occupied by something else.

"Hehe. It seems like the fun times are over."

With Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill, Roan felt a Spiritual Sense far above Roce's. Without a doubt, it was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Roan didn't find it strange since a smaller city like Danve also had one. Let alone one as big as Kastran.

Roan then jumped down from the wall, completely ignoring Roce.

Of course, Roce wouldn't just let Roan go that easily.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Roce then grabbed his spear and charged in Roan's direction. Lightning and Wind Element gathered around his body together with his Soul Power. With that, he wasn't any bit slower than Roan himself.

'Sky Fall Spear!'

The same attack came in Roan's direction, but far stronger as Roce was holding his spear this time.

*Boom!*

The spear went straight through Roan's body, not giving him a chance to dodge. However, Roce immediately noticed that the feeling of piercing one's body wasn't right.

Sure enough, Roan's body began to turn into specks of white and black light.

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Once again, Roan used his Mirage Assalt to trick his opponent, using the clone to block Roce's sight while he escaped.

*Thud!*

Roan then landed on the ground on the other side of the wall, right beside Frandin, who was shocked by the battle he just saw. Before he could say anything, Roan grabbed his arm with one hand. As for the other, it was holding his White Star.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

*Bang! Shatter!*

Roan's speed increased even more with the Stellar Piercer, creating a hole through the protection formation of the city. Roce immediately came down and was just about to follow Roce. However, he received a Spiritual Sense message at that moment.

'Leave him. We don't know if he's trying to drag us away from the city. We already lost one Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator. I don't want to lose one more.'

Roce felt a chill on his back when he heard that. He quickly calmed down after that. A few seconds later, a man landed by his side.

"City Lord."

That was obviously Falin's brother, Kastran City's City Lord, Jaliu Umal.
