“Hahahahahah!”
Mordek laughed aloud seeing the dumbfounded expression on Rhyne’s face.
“Don’t think too much. You are also going to accompany them very soon.”Mordek spoke while putting back his sword.
“In your dreams.” Rhyne roared and charged at Mordek but before he could take a step, he felt a strong hit on his chest and his body was sent flying in the air like a ragdoll.
His body slammed against the ground while sliding off for a few metres.
As he got up coughing more blood, he found a fist-shaped mark appearing on his chest vest.
He had hardly stood up when Mordek’s image flashed before him.
His fist was glowing with a bluish hue indicating that his fist had been covered with aura.
“Fist Of Fury!”
Mordek yelled and punched Rhyne multiple times.
Hundreds of punches hit Rhyne in an instant as Mordek punched like a gatling gun.
Many cracking sounds emitted from Rhyne’s body as Mordek’s series of punches broke many bones of Rhyne.
Fist of Fury was something that Mordek invented himself.
When one punches another, a part of the person’s aura seeps inside the other man’s body at the point where he was punched and started to wreak havoc on the spot destroying the body from inside.
Rhyne felt deep pain coming from all parts of his body and his vision started to become blurry.
Mordek stepped back a little and put his right fist near his hips and started to gather mana around the fist.
The air around Mordek started to churn and enveloped his fist which started to glow fiercely.
Mordek took his left step forward while twisting his body to squeeze all his strength and putting all his strength, he punched at Rhyne.
BOOM!
Rhyne felt as if something hit him with an extraordinary force that his body was unable to contain while darkness overcame his vision.
Rhyne’s whole body burst and exploded into blood mist unable to contain the force of Mordek’s punch and his entire body turned into blood mist.
A fissure appeared behind him which extended towards the river and splashed the water forming a rift and splitting it apart for a moment which went back to normal after some time.
“Hush!”
“I am surely becoming old,” Mordek muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead, leaving the people behind him looking at him with bewildered expressions.
Their lips twitched uncontrollably on hearing his words.
‘You are becoming old. Are old men so brutal these days? You didn’t even leave a part of the enemy and wiped his entire existence.’
Mordek noticed their expression and shouted”Stop wasting time and run. Amidon may have already found out about our legendary deeds and would have already sent scouts for us.”
“Lst’s run.”
…
On the top of the Fortress, a fierce battle was taking place.
BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
Sounds of metal crashing against each other made a sonorous voice that chimed on the wall.
Large cracks started to form on the stones used to make the walls along with small craters.
Dust and debris flew around and a bubble of air burst forth with a terrifying pressure.
Two Master ranks were taking on Christina and the speed of the fight was invisible to the naked eye.
In a matter of seconds, their swords clashed against each other countless times.
Sparks flew all around as Christina parried their attacks.
She was already in a bad shape and fighting two of them put her on the back foot.
Moreover, a pained sensation burnt from her chest as her injury was slowly resurfacing again.
The only thing she can do now persists and lasts long enough to tire them out.
From childhood, her whole life was about persistence so as long as she can outlast them, she was sure of his victory.
A huge pressure descended from their clash.
The yellow and bluish energy that was leaking out from the battle had left many shocking marks on the defence walls.
The Master’s rank energies started covering their bodies. It looked like a huge burning flame.
Both of them forced Christina a few steps back due to the strong heat coming from their bodies.
Concentrating all the energies of their bodies on their weapons, they were ready to unleash a destructive strike and take out Christina at once.
Christina’s sword glowed with a yellowish glow and she also prepared to unleash all her strength.
However, their battle halted due to someone’s intervention.
CLANG!
A huge heavy greatsword appeared out of nowhere and struck the ground fiercely, sending a huge shockwave which pushed both parties a few steps back.
Even before the parties could collide, they were stopped in their tracks due to the sudden appearance of someone.
Christina frowned as she felt a soft touch on her shoulder and was about to swing her sword at the stranger’s appearance.
She was startled by the man’s sudden appearance as she wasn’t able to detect the man who appeared beside her and due to the subconscious reaction, she drew her sword.
But her movements stopped and her body jolted and she felt a warm current flowing through her body.
The small wounds and bruises that she suffered due to the fight started to heal and her breathing started to stabilise.
She felt as if she had been revitalised and her body was full of vitality.
The dishevelled air blowing over the place displaced her hair covering the face and exposing her smooth delicate beautiful face and the cold expression added a heavenly touch showing her otherworldly temperament which drew Alex’s attention.
Through the holes of the helmet, he looked at Christina with a grim expression.
While healing her, he could see that Christina had suffered an injury that had dropped down her rank from Master to Disciples.
Alex deduced that this might be due to the ritual.
The ritual had affected everyone, but Riya was able to survive due to her Epic rank without any repercussions.
Riya had told her that after the ritual she can feel her body becoming weaker though it had disappeared by now it can’t be said for others.
Moreover, before leaving Kinley’s army she was crippled and she had to start her warrior journey again from scratch even in her poor state, she had offered him a part of her life span which wounded her soul.
Higher realm warriors had a higher life span and since Christina’s realm had fallen, her lifespan had become shorter and she had to offer some of it to him even in that condition.
Alex felt a deep pain in his chest and clenched his fist tightly while looking at Christina’s cold and aloof figure.
‘My wives had sacrificed a lot for me.’Alex muttered inwardly.
Feeling the gaze directed her, Christina looked at the armoured man with a strange expression.
As she looked at the pair of red eyes staring at her, she felt that she had seen those eyes somewhere else but she couldn’t remember them.
Christina might have already thrown this man’s hand who touched her but stopped as she understood that this man had cast a healing spell which was quite unbelievable.
After all, one can rarely find a person with a healing element which is mostly used by clerics and priests which is significantly rare.
“Who are you?” Christina asked with a cold expression.
“Me, I am just useless and good for nothing fellow who had made his wife suffer a lot.”
“But since I have realised my mistake, shouldn’t I make up for my mistake.”
“Isn’t it right, my lovely wife, Christina?”
Alex pulled back his hands and walked towards the great sword while leaving Christina to stare at his wide back with a dazed expression.
