1150 CHAPTER 1119 IMPOSTER
“Where are you?! Imposter!” The second elder roars with intense rage, he starts scanning everyone, trying to find where Shadowslash is.
“Do you really think that your made up images will deter us?!” He shouts with righteous indignation, trying to hide the truth from his other clan members.
Meanwhile, Shadowslash was now behind the third elder, he knows that the two are now opening the forbidden ground, the third elder was left to guard the two.
DESPAIR DOMAIN! Since this is not his main body, he has to hurry up because his domain is just a phony copy of the real one.
The third elder was stunned when he was covered by darkness, he quickly realised that he is being attacked, he roars and starts growing bigger.
'
The two did not discover the anomaly, meanwhile, inside the fake Despair Domain, Shadowslash and the third elder were fighting, the battle is already set once the domain was set up.
Shadowslash attacks with his entire strength, he has to end this battle as fast as he can in order to find the heart of this plane.
He was already in his humanoid battle form and with one slash, he hacked the paw of his opponent, separating his arm from his body.
“Hoko Nitoryu!: Arekuruu Tsuin Doragon” (Roaring Two Swords Style!: Raging Twin Dragon)
.....
White flame covers his two hands as his nails/claws sharps, he charges towards his opponent and with one blow, he cuts him into pieces.
He opens his mouth and absorbs the body of his opponent, refining it and increasing the strength of his avatar.
He transforms into the third elder and waves his hand, creating an illusion that looks exactly like him.
He deactivates his Despair Domain and takes a deep breath before flying towards in a manner like he had just been blown back.
BOOM! With a loud sound, he slams into the barrier with an injured appearance, the two might be focused on their task but after seeing the appearance of their comrade, they know that their enemy has arrived.
“You dare?!” The clan head turns backwards and sees the third elder, making him stunned but he recovers instantly, he fires a vacuum breath, the third elder (illusion) reacts and tries to escape.
The first elder sighed in relief “Fortunately we were with each other, if that thing managed to capture one of us and impersonate us, we would be in great trouble.”
The clan head nods in agreement, he turns to the third elder (Shadowslash) and asks “Are you okay third older?”
Shadowslash coughs out blood as he acts like he was forcing himself to stand up, his expression was extremely pitiful with blood leaking of his mouth and nose.
“Be careful, clan leader, that thing is quite powerful, its blow actually manages to destroy my defense.” The clan head was not surprised.
“Yes, I know, it actually deflects my Cannon Roar with ease, I am not confident of defeating it easily.” The first elder’s expression is quite ugly, since even the clan head is not confident in defeating Shadowslash, then his chances are much lower.
BANG! Three Descending Divine Rankers and two Ascending Divine Rankers appear, all of them are considered as elders of the Behemoth Race.
Shadowslash walks towards them with a heavy expression and trembling body, he roars “Do not come close! Stay exactly where you are!”
The clan head and the first elder agrees with his decision, seeing his appearance, the newly arrived five individuals instantly realise that they were attacked.
“Third Elder, we are not imposters, we were ordered by the second elder to inform you about the existence of the imposter.” One of the Ascending Divine Rankers quickly speaks.
Shadowslash stops and turns to the clan head, it seems to look like he was not sure of the truth, the clan head stares at the five Behemoths.
“Stay there and guard us, as you can see, the third elder is heavily injured, be careful, the enemy is an elite peak Ascending Divine Ranker, it managed to injure the third elder heavily during their quick bout and also deflected my Cannon Roar with ease earlier.” The expression of the five Behemoths becomes heavy.
They did not expect that their current opponent would be this strong, one of them added “Clan head, according to the images that were shown to us by the invader, they had slandered the two of you of conspiring to kill half of our clan in order to use the heart.”
The two who were busy opening the locks were startled after hearing this, they turn to each other and can see trepidation in their eyes, they are not afraid that they were being spied upon, what they are afraid of is that, Shadowslash is actually capable of hearing their divine sense.
Divine sense is something that all top class powerhouses hone and nurture, they did not expect that their opponent is capable of invading their soul.
They nodded at each other, the first elder shouted at them “Do not believe in the lies of our enemy, since it is capable of creating images of us, it basically confirms one thing, it might be nearby, pay close attention.”
The clan head asks “Third elder, during your battle with it, have you managed to gauge some of its strength?”
Shadowslash nodded “It can turn invisible, it attacked me when I was fully alert, what shocked me the most is that, it was even capable of using the same skills as ours, it seems that it had absorbed our bloodline.”
The expression of the five Behemoths turns ugly, they did not expect that they were facing such an opponent, they cannot help but look at their surroundings, trying to find if anything is amiss.
The two continue to open the forbidden ground ever so slightly, from time to time, Shadowslash will create a clone and have them attack the elders, he even purposely lets some of the clones hit him.
His appearance becomes even more pitiful, considering the strength of his clones, the five Behemoths cannot help but look at him with pity.
One of the Ascending Divine Rankers curses “D*mn it! They are trying to kill one of us at a time and since the third elder is the one that has the most injuries, they are focusing on him!”
The clan head frowns but seeing Shadowslash’s unbending will to protect the two of them, he cannot help but feel guilty, many of the attacks were thrown to the two of them, it was the third elder (Shadowslash) that saved them by blocking the powerful attacks with his body.
This pisses the first elder off also, he shouts at the five Behemoths “I thought that second elder sent you guys here to help us open the forbidden ground?! Why is third elder the only person that successfully protects us during all of the attacks?!”
The five Behemoths feel ashamed of themselves, they were at fault, they let some of the clones slip through them, if it were not for the third elder (Shadowslash) the two would have already been injured or even killed.
“I am fine!” Shadowslash shouts with all of his might but the “blood” leaking out of his body says otherwise, from his appearance, it looks like he is about to fall down in any second.
The five Behemoths look at him with respect and admiration, the first elder cannot help but say “Fortunately we brought second elder with us, he is truly the next in line in becoming an elite Peak Ranker.”
BOOM! The seal of the forbidden ground finally opens, the two quickly jump into it, suddenly, multiple Behemoths appear, all of them have the appearance of the victims that Shadowslash have killed.
“Stop them!” Shouts one of the Ascending Divine Rankers but one clone was just too strong and manages to break through the blockade that the five Behemoths had created.
“You are not going to succeed!” Shadowslash shouts at one of his clones as he grows large enough to block the portal.
BANG! The strength of the clone seems to break the defense of Shadowslash and the two of them were also thrown towards the hole.
Both the clan head and the first elder see the two of them falling towards their direction, sensing the aura of the clone, their expression changes, they do not know that it was Shadowslash tricking their divine sense in order to make the clone much more menacing in their eyes.
“Kill it! Do not mind me! Everything is for our clan!” Shadowslash shouts as he “tries” to hold the clone, he was kicked away, causing him to fly into the darkness.
“Third elder!” Clan head shouts as he sees Shadowslash falling rapidly, he then glares at the clone with intense hatred.
The clone attacks with its entire strength, it was actually using a self-destruct skill but in the eyes of the two, it was just using a powerful energy type attack.
BOOM! The two harden their bodies in order to endure the blast but even after doing this, they felt their innards shaking.
