She ran like a mad woman, directly towards Ezra Zephyr.
But unbeknownst to her, there was someone capable to stop her rampage.
White sharp qi abruptly arose from within a certain person, and a giant decorated sword could be seen. A naked greatsword, white and majestic, decorated with various beautiful carvings as the intense sharp qi revolved around it.
7 orbs started to revolve behind the back of John Stark, he revealed his martial spirit.
He swung his sword and the blue-haired girl called Reema was hit by a wave of qi.
~BOOOOM~
She cried as she was blown away.
"You bastard, rascal, mongrel. Don't stay in my way. Rolo is in danger." She cried as her eyes were filled with rage, fear and tears.
"You are losing your mind when someone you hold dear is in danger, then what happened to your benignity when you were slaughtering, ganging up and attacking other people?" Asked John Stark.
"Shut up! We have a mission, we came from above. Do you even know what the upper realm is? Our martial spirits' grades were restricted since birth for this very day. We have all the rights, we are superior to you filial beings." Her facial expressions were poetic descriptions of madness, she lost all reasoning.
"Tsk tsk, hypocrites like you are never ashamed of their wrongdoings, they made idiotic and sadistic stories to confuse the apriority." He raised his sword and pointed it towards Reema. "I am not sorry in the slightest for what is happening with Rolo Aur, but I am sorry that I have to kill a filth like you with my very sword." Disgust was visible on the face of the Fair Sword of Humanity.
On the other part, the punch that Ezra landed on Rolo Aur was way more terrifying than one can grasp.
His cheek was cut, his jaw cracked a bit, and his teeth were knocked out. The cunning Rolo Aur's face was nothing but blood dripping ball at that point. After the attack, the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom didn't stop. He kept the momentum of his punch, the same foot that stomped earlier was used to spin, but this time, in opposite direction.
Scales were still there, and black bolts of lightning thundered as another punch landed.
~BOOOOM~
A cracking sound was heard by everyone as if he hit an invisible shield. Soon after, some lines similar to the web of a spider appeared on the loincloth that Rolo was wearing. Ezra squinted his eyes. "A Special tier armament." He murmured.
~BAANNG~
Another hook was on the left side of the body, and another giant crack appeared on the loincloth while Rolo Aur spat blood. The loincloth had a strange invisible shield that protected Rolo Aur. But Ezra was curious why nothing happened when he punched his face.
~BAANNG BAAANG BAAANG~
A continuation of punches on the body without an ounce of kindness.
~PHHIIISSSH~
The shield completely shattered, Ezra grinned as he was getting excited about the next attack.
~CRAACKLE CRAACKLE~
The hook came with evil intentions, even the air tore itself to not hinder its pace, soon the thundering punch of a scaled fist hit the armourless body of Rolo Aur.
~BOOOM~
It seemed as if the punch was dug into his ribs.
~CRUUUNCH~
A nasty crunching sound as the ribs of his one side was destroyed, that blow was enough to send him miles away but the chains of chaos made that impossible.
*Aarrgg cough* "Aaarrrkkh Aaa uh uh" Rolo cried, a cocktail of blood and tears coming out of his eyes.
"Stop! He has already suffered numerous mistreatments, he is a victim of injustice, we came here to seek the greatest blessing so that we can go back and change something." Karl cried from distance.
Ezra's punch stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Karl with widened eyes. "What did you say?"
"I am right, I know you are also a victim of injustice. He is already half dead, show him mercy and we will go back, please." Pleaded Karl, he knew all the other chances are as good as void at this time.
The eyes of Ezra lowered, and the tightly clenched punch released its grip. Slowly and gradually, the hand started to come down.
Karl saw the kindness of Ezra, whatever he said was true. Indeed, Rolo was a victim of abuse and injustice. He had a weak body and the martial spirit of a hero who died without even accomplishing anything. To be very accurate, all the hosts of Rajah Soliman were weaker than his brother Rajah Indrapatra's hosts, but Rolo's body was exceptionally weak and on the other hand, Carlo's body was astonishingly strong.
Even their very own parents loved Carlo and neglected Rolo, even though Rolo was the elder one. That gave birth to a wildfire in Rolo's heart, a fire to achieve something.
He trained all his life until he could no longer move, he believed his life will change if he'll join the raid of the lower realm, that's how he secretly came through the portal imprint that was drawn for Carlo Aur.
However, a single man by the name of Ezra Zephyr devastated him and his plans.
Karl gazed in anticipation, seeing the halting hand of Ezra Zephyr he closed his eyes as he said, "Thank you, we will leave the lower realm."
~BAANNNNG~
A strange yet familiar banging sound was heard by him again, and his eyes opened right away.
His eyes became red like blood when he saw that, Ezra punched Rolo Aur again.
"You bastard! Didn't you listen to what I said?" Yelled Karl, to him Rolo and Reema were like family.
Ezra sighed, he was annoyed as he turned his face towards Karl. "So what, don't weigh the guts of this ailing motherfucker with mine. I didn't beg anyone to spare me, even that fucker's father left me alive on his whim." Said Ezra as he gestured towards Victor Brownmane who was busy fighting Leomord Tigerian
Rolo Aur was completely destroyed, his ribs were broken, his face shattered and swollen, he was bleeding inside out.
"Khiirr Mee" Rolo mumbled.
Ezra gave him an ear to hear the better of it, "Kill me..." he heard what the half-dead invader was whispering.
"Alright! I am a gentleman. I will bestow upon you the gift of death" said Ezra Zephyr as he stepped a few steps away from the battered man in a torn loincloth.
Ezra Zephyr extended his hand as if he was about to perform something, a circle was drawn beneath the feat of Rolo Aur, a white-coloured formula.
Ezra Zephyr opened his mouth "Soul Absorption Spell"
Only the martial masters of Bloodfang Kingdom were aware of what is about to happen to the half-conscious Rolo Aur. As the circle started to shine, Rolo started screaming.
"AAAAAAAA! HWAAARRAAAAA!"
His entire body shuddered tremendously, like a fish out of water. He yelled and yelled blood oozed out from his eyes, ears and nose.
"AAAAGURGURGUR!" Blood went to his mouth, and his crying throat started to gargle with his own blood.
"Rolo..." Karl gasped.
"ROLO!!! ROLO!! YOU BASTARDS, LET ME GO, AAAAAA ROLO!" the madwoman in blue bellowed in anger.
Not long after, the struggle of Rolo Aur ceased, as a ball of nature colour emitted out from his chest. It was the soul of Rolo Aur, a being from the upper realm.
Reema fell on her legs, her eyes wide open. She was lost, it was the best time for John Stark to kill her but he didn't, that was something that contradicts his personality.
Karl on the other hand gritted his teeth, he tried to help multiple times but he was stuck against Akkar and Baron. They didn't attack him directly, they were just fighting a defensive battle. Their main focus was to not let this man go and help Rolo Aur.
Ezra showed his palm and the nature-coloured ball of light fell on it, his eyes were full of greed, curiosity and excitement as he gazed at the ball, he paid no heed and wolfed it down.
The type of power was released inside his body, one that he had never in life tasted. The soul was merged within the core and got absorbed, the amount of force that single soul of Rolo Aur gave him was more than what he absorbed from the Spirity Beast Squad of Ixtal Molarch.
Ezra was bursting with an immeasurable amount of force, he was ready at the peak just a small push was needed for him to ascend to the higher realm of the Core Formation stage.
"Boy, don't break through. Endure it gather the amount, don't let the barrier break." Fenrir suggested.
"What! I can't hold..."
"No! you must..."
"You bastard, you'll kill me."
The inflation of power started to hurt the barrier of Ezra Zephyr, the barrier of the Qi Brightening stage, which will be broken and transform slowly into a core. One just had to let lose his body to let the spiritual energy leak through the barrier.
The pressure emitted by Ezra was no less than that of the Core Formation stage, he held on, and he gritted his teeth in pain, the agony inside his body was crueller than any his endured before.
At last, he felt something, the barrier started to expand. It extended and extended astonishing Ezra himself.
His suffering ended, and there were new powers he wanted to test but before that, there was still an important matter to attend to first.
Ezra stelled towards the likely mutilated body Rolo Aur as he said. "Fenrir, Devour!"
