Yaacov couldn’t fight with his whole power, 40% went into guarding the middle door.

He recall all of his essence from around the room into his body, while he was circling around himself, because the inner region that the other cultivator created kept moving to the right.

As the tunnel of fire closed to him and the whole area started to turn pitch black, Yaacov threw a punch into the air.

Yaacov’s movements were very slow and his hand reached forward very slow, but his body just moved in space very fast without Yaacov moving a muscle for that! As if he had a short teleportation abilities.

As one of the tunnels of fire was about to touch him, he just vanished as if he was never there and appeared one meter near his previous location, while he kept throwing his simple punch.

The other parties controlled the tunnel into perfection, so it just changed direction and kept moving into the direction of Yaacov.

Yaacov had a lot of trouble with the moving ground, in addition to that the black mass started to eat his flesh, while disturbing his vision, it was turning darker by the seconds.

Despite that, he still put a minimal essence to protect himself, while concentrating most of his free essence into his punch.

He moved into the direction of one of the groups, but a strong barrier of black mass covered the circling area. Now Yaacov was inside a cage of black and deadly mass with three tunnel of fires that moved in his direction, more so the floor moved in weird patterns.

But that what he was waiting for, its true that with his unique essence moving patterns they could feel his exact location easily, and that this cage was very deadly, in addition to that his condition got worst by the seconds, still his eyes shone with determined light.

The fact was that they couldn’t see him at all! He jumped and punched the ceiling of the room, as tunnels of fire moved into his direction, the ceiling began to fall while revealing strange patterns all over the room.

Yaacov took the doll and push it into the patterns that was covered on the new ceiling of the room, which matched strangely with the characters that was written on the doll.

As the doll touched the ceiling “Click Clock Click” a strange noise could be heard as Yaacov held himself on the ceiling, so he will not fall to the ground while the three tunnels of fire moved in his direction very fast and hit him.

BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM

He put what little essence he had into his defense, but still most of his body barely functioned because he was badly injured.

Blood dripped from all over his body, as the black masses that floated around kept hitting his flesh, while he held himself from falling on the ceiling without moving.

Click-clock-click-clock-click-click-click-clock

A strange sound could be head from all over the room.

The captain had a very bad feeling, even if he could detect that the vice-captain was very close to his death.

CLACK!

The floor started to move as if it couldn’t hold itself anymore.

The relevant cultivators, which can control the earth, tried to control the floor and to stop it from falling apart, but for some unknown reason their power couldn’t interact at all with the floor, as if their power turned irrelevant in this room.

The floor fell apart as the whole group started to fall, they quickly took their flying devices out of their bags which were very small, but still, for the first time in their life, their power didn’t work at all, and they found themselves keep falling.

It wasn’t like they couldn’t use their power, fire could still flow from the fire-cultivators’ body and the captain still could user his black mass. It just that they couldn’t control the physics in the room! The room controlled them!

As they fall, a strange gold substance started to fall from the right and the left door.

The substance did nothing to the falling floor or to the walls, but when it touched one of the falling cultivators

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

A sharp scream could be heard as it abnormally fast eaten away his flesh and vanished.

It looked like the substance had its own will, as it moved into the direction of the living.

The captain wore a determined expression while he took all of his essence and use it to push the falling substances into his followers’ directions.

They tried to resist, but the captain was way stronger than them, so the falling water-like-substance started to eat their flesh alive and after a while it started to evaporate.

There wasn’t a lot of substance, and quite a lot needed to kill one underline, so after all of his underlines were evaporated, only a small amount of substance remained, which eventually touched the captain and eaten part of him away.

As he finally stopped falling and hit the floor, the fall wasn’t too long, the wall ceiling turn white, as Yaacov, very close to death, pull all of his essence from the shield, he put around the door, to perform his last attack, probably in his life.

“YAACOV! YOU DIRTY, SHAMELESS AND LOYAL DOG!! I WILL KILL YOU AND THEN PURSUE TO TURTURE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN IN HELL!!!!” the captain screamed.

Yaacov, with a small and shameful smile, started to fall as he turned into a small sun which was constructed from dancing lighting.

The captain use all of his essence and turn it into an arrow like form, the captain sent the arrow into the falling sun of lighting.

BOOOOM

The whole room, which had a lot of space by now, turned into a storm of black lighting as Yaacov fell into the ground.

The captain moved to his direction and pushed his hand into Yaacov, while he digged into Yaacov’s flesh, he grabbed his backbone, the place Yaacov stored his essence in.

He looked very disturbed as a very miserable expression appeared on his face.

Then the captain said weakly and slowly “brother why don’t you forget all of it and come under me. It shouldn’t end like that, you know that mother sacrificed herself for both of us … I killed my father ... my uncles … together we massacred our whole clan … why should we kill each other … why did you become so loyal to this stupid troll, the whole continent wants him dead and just waiting to end these terrified times, to kill his area and maybe create times when people will not live the same way as we did”.

“How did it come to that?” thought Yaacov, “all I wanted was to run from my past and live freely, how did it end like that?”

An ire silence surrounded the two of them for a few long minutes. Abruptly the captain said “come back, I will forgive you for everything. Please. I don’t mind killing anyone else, no one else matter, you are my only family, and you will always be. Big brother”

Yaacov didn’t want to hear any of that, he abandoned his brother when he needed him the most for Yaacov’s own good. He knew how much his brother suffered after he stood near Eyov, the troll like school headmaster.

He was so loyal to him and did everything the troll demanded, only because he didn’t want to betray anyone ever again, he didn’t want to feel the feeling he felt again. He knew that he didn’t deserve to be a big brother, a dog who killed his own father suited him better. He didn’t even know what the name of his own brother was, he was too ashamed to check or ask. Deep down he loved his brother very much, he was just too broken.

A miserable smile appeared on Yaacov’s face “do you really think I care about you, my naïve young and shitty brother” Yaacov whisper half crying as he pushed all of his destructive essence into the captain, his younger brother.

The captain, instead of crushing his brother’s backbone and killing him, at the last second decided to only cripple it and make him unable to cultivate ever again, the backbone was his brother’s cultivation organ. With the captain’s essence, which turned into the color of a darkish red, Yaacov’s backbone was crippled, for the last time before the now dark-reddish mass vanished completely.

“Goodbye brother” both of them thought as they lost conscious.
