Kali could only foolishly watch the scene in front of her with her mouth agape.

She saw a shadow appearing everywhere around the eleven green-haired people and without them even being able to react.

Shin used anything he could, he kicked, punched, slashed with his dagger and katana.

But, no matter what, only small injuries appeared on the ones he was aiming for.

Kali frowned and narrowed her eyes, trying to catch Shin’s afterimage.

Even if he can suppress them, he is far from strong enough to deal with them.

If this continues…

The one in the lead of the green-haired people; Laria, noticed it rather swiftly, without thinking twice, she yelled with slightly bloodshot eyes.

“He can only affect speed and time, he isn’t strong enough to harm us!”

Hihi, shall we have some fun then?

As Laria mentioned that, Kali rushed forward with her scythe dragging behind her.

“Shin, only act as support, don’t fight rashly!”

Kali smirked and said in an eager voice. As her voice faded away, she held the scythe’s handle with both of her hand, using everything she could muster and slashed it right towards Laria’s face.

Laria widened her eyes, shocked by the humongous scythe right in front of her face. But, even so, she quickly acted and pushed her palm towards the scythe.

She bit her teeth, wanting to endure the attack from Kali. Laria felt her palm being split into two, but she still endured.

The clash between Kali and Laria made a clash of their auras which spread throughout the whole battlefield.

On Kali’s side, black holes appeared and vanished, like it wanted to devour the whole world!

While on Laria’s side, green flames were everywhere, wishing to burn everything to dust!

“Hihi…”

With a suppressed voice, Kali laughed and she smirked as she glared at Laria.

Laria didn’t know why, but she had a bad premonition. She sensed something behind her, but it was all too late as she felt a stabbing pain. Laria glanced down at her body, only seeing a bloodied katana going through her body, bewildered by the sight, she could only glance behind her.

Shin held his katana which was stabbed through Laria’s body, his hands were trembling and his consciousness went blank when he felt the blade going through her body.

“You bastard!”

Raging with anger, Laria didn’t care about the katana piercing her body nor that Kali was attacking her. She turned around and smacked Shin with all her force, sending him hundreds of meters away.

When Kali saw Laria attacking Shin, her golden pupils had a wisp of red in it.

“You’re courting death!!!”

Kali didn’t hold back any longer, she furiously and mercilessly started to attack Laria rapidly.

Kali’s movements became faster and faster, not even Laria was able to block everything, more and more injuries appeared on her body.

Without stopping, Kali roared loudly.

“Aria!”

As Laria was trying her best to fend of Kali’s merciless attacks, she couldn’t bother with trying to understand what Kali was trying to yell out.

Behind Kali, a blending silver light rushed towards them.

Aria held her katana in her right hand and her expression clearly showed she was trying her best to not explode in anger.

Aria’s speed which could even rival Kali's, rushed past everyone, even while doing so, she slashed swiftly towards everyone’s neck!

But, regarding her strength, she was still way too weak to kill them. Only a line of blood appeared on their necks, but it was enough to scare them for a moment.

Shin which was coughing up blood because of Laria’s smack, could only foolishly watch everything happening without being able to react.

But, he felt relief when he heard Kali yell out Aria’s name and saw the silver light rushing towards him.

He managed only to blink a couple of times before he got swept away by Aria and not even a couple of seconds later, they were far away from the battlefield.

“Shin, why do you always act recklessly?”

Aria asked as her voice was almost cracking up.

A bitter smile appeared on Shin’s face, he, of course, knew that he made Aria worry about him.

“I’m sorry.”

As he tried to earnestly apologise, he had a bad hunch.

An unknown projectile was hurled towards Aria and Shin.

Aria which was trying to inspect Shin’s condition failed to sense the projectile.

While Shin could only watch worriedly at Aria which was focused on him.

The projectile neared Aria and Shin, not even ten meters apart from Aria’s head.

In the blink of a second, a loud bang could be heard throughout the whole battlefield!

“Bang!”

Aria’s and Shin’s ears rang loudly because of the noise, they widened their eyes and turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

With a shocked expression, they could only stare at a sword in mid air clashing against a black halberd.

“Have you two finished playing around yet?”

Azane had sweat running down her face as she forced herself to make a comment.

But, even so, her hands which were holding the halberd were trembling.

Without any delay, Aria swiftly slashed her katana towards the sword.

“Bang!”

With another loud bang, the sword which Azane was holding back dropped towards the ground in two pieces.

“This isn’t the best time to casually do things, let’s talk after we're done with dealing with them.”

Azane said in a low voice and rushed towards where Kali and the eleven green-haired people.

Even if she couldn’t win against them, she would not lose against them either.

As long as I can draw one of their attention, the burden will be a lot less on Kali.

“Humph!”

She narrowed her eyes and set her eyes on a male which was wielding an axe.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

As Azane rushed towards one of them, another person was stalled.

Laura and Peutoa worked together.

Peutoa stood behind a female with gloves while Laura stood in front of her.

As they had agreed to it, they both attacked at the same time.

A faint smile appeared on Kali's face when she saw how things were unfolding.

She went berserk when she saw Shin getting hit and even more when she saw the sword heading towards the two. But she saw a glance of Azane, Peutoa and Laura.

As Azane, Laura and Peutoa were holding back one person each, Kali needed only to face nine of them alone.

Without a doubt, a big burden was lifted off her chest. Her faint smile quickly turned into a wicked smirk as she glared at the nine of them angrily.

“Hihi...”

“You have no shame, even worse than us ‘mortals’ you despise… Just wait patiently for a little while and I’ll cut every one of you in thousands of pieces!”

Her voice towards the ending turned cold and sent shivers to their ears. Kali held her scythe tightly and swept it towards Laria and the flying needles around her surrounded Laria and the others.

With a calm expression, Shin watched everything unfold.

Still, as he was watching the three battles, his eyes squinted and shined coldly.

He glanced behind him, finding Anaj protecting Eline.

I can’t hesitate any longer!

He resolved himself and breathed calmly before he turned towards Aria and said in a serious tone.

“I want to continue fighting!”

Aria could easily see that Shin has determined himself into fighting with everyone else.

With a smirk, Aria nodded.

She let go of Shin and calmly turned towards Kali, she held the katana in her hand with a soft yet firm grip. She tapped the air beneath her feet and rushed forward with a swift speed, her aura gushed out from within which seemed to even make the surrounding air tremble.

Shin’s eyes widened for a second as he watched Aria swiftly flying against the enemy.

Mother is awesome as always…

With a broad smile, Shin closed his eyes and his expression turned calm once again.

He slowly opened his eyelids and his eyes were changing colour from his usual night like black and the whiteness from using Gladius’s Power of Space and Time.

As Shin was calmly staring at everyone fighting, his body slowly ascended higher up in the air. A portion of his aura and Power was leaking out more by the second, at first it wasn’t much and no one sensed it.

Breathe in and out calmly…

Shin closed his eyes once again and breathed in and out very slowly.

While having a very bad premonition, Laria could only try to glance around as she was trying to fend off Kali’s attacks. But, there was an aura she sensed…

“Humph!”

Another attack came right in front of Laria’s face.

“You’re fighting me, don’t glance around!”

Kali’s purple dress was tattered and was barely hanging on her body. But, even so, she didn’t stop at all. She had to focus on Laria, but she also confined the other seven people away from the others.

When she sensed the weak aura, she subconsciously knew that it was Shin. But, she had no time to glance towards Shin, Kali was barely managing to suppress the eight she was fighting against.

Throughout the whole battlefield, lots of noises sounded out because of the clashes, yells and roars.

But none of these could be heard by Shin, all he could hear was his own breathing.

Deep within of Shin

Twelve sculptures were shining brightly, but only ten people could be seen in front of their own sculptures.

“Hehe…”

Ker’Vrak laughed in a deep voice, but he had sweat running down his face.

“It’s time for us, Guardians, to finally help our Master for the first time in a true sense!”

His voice had a trace of excitement.

With a slight pause, Ker’Vrak continued in a loud voice.

“We have been waiting for a very long time, the only reason we haven’t passed to the next life or being a Divine Being is because we promised to protect our Master!”

“Until now we haven’t been able to do anything for him, but that will change from now on!”

“Master has always liked our colours, let us shine brightly just for him!”

His voice went from loudly to a bellowing roar, everything around him turned grey and it shined brighter than the sun!

Without replying, various colours shined brightly in the darkness around the dark sculpture of Shin.

Shin’s POV

I…

I feel warm and secure…

Still keeping his eyes closed, various auras and Powers could be felt within himself.

Shin unconsciously spread his arms widely, his body which only leaked a single aura and Power changed abruptly. All at once, ten other auras and Powers gushed out of Shin like a volcano!

They…

Shin slowly opened his eyelids and calmly gazed at the eleven green-haired people.

He could see that everyone was staring back at him with a horrified expression. But, he didn’t care at all.

No need to prolong anything…

No need to ask questions…

They should all die…

With a dozen different type of auras and Powers leaking from his body, his body shone brightly, making it hard for others to stare at him for a longer period of time.

“Shin…!”

He heard a muffled voice and then saw the worried glances from Aria, Kali, Peutoa and Laura. But Shin didn’t know what it was, but he focused his mind on the enemies once again.

“Vanish…”

With a soft voice which everyone heard, Shin’s body disappeared, not only that, even his aura and Powers vanished with him.

While everyone was glancing around to find him, Shin was far above everyone else, standing over ten kilometres above them and watching them like specks of dust…

As Shin could barely keep his own conscious up, he could hear a soft female voice.

“Using true Divinity in the realm of mortals isn’t allowed…”

“This being your first time peeking into it and not knowing the rules, I will only warn you and not act.”

After Shin heard it, he forgot what the voice said.

As nothing had happened, Shin only glanced down at his ‘enemies’. He opened his mouth a little bit and said in a clear voice.

“Attacking us, injuring my friends and trying to kill mother…”

“There will be no second chance…”

“Die…”

As he was speaking in a clear voice, he slowly fell down from the skies headfirst.

His whole body shined in different colours and he didn’t hold back anything any longer. Every aura and Power he held control over within himself gushed out, making the air around him motionless.

As Shin was blinking, he could see that he was nearing the ‘enemies’, his body broke through the speed of sound several times but Shin only wanted to go faster!

With a slow but flowing movement, Shin drew his fist back. His eyes were watching everything calmly, but it was also clearly showcased how difficult it was for him to stay conscious.

He opened his mouth and spoke a single word.

“Move…”

His words were soft and faded away in the wind, but Laura, Peutoa, Aria, Kali and even Anaj and Eline in the back clearly heard it. They didn’t know why, but they felt that if they didn’t do so, something horrible would happen. Therefore, without delaying a single moment, they turned around and escaped with their fastest speed.

Shin had a faint smile as he watched his ‘friends’ leaving and only his ‘enemies’ remained.

His body neared the eleven green-haired people who could only blankly stare up at the skies towards him. But, in a blink of an eye, Shin was already near them and he punched the air in the middle of them.

His fist which was clad in a dozen different type of colours made a crashing sound when he punched out.

“BANG!!!”

As nothing happened, everything turned quiet…

But before anyone could relax, a dark vortex appeared from where Shin punched and engulfed everything around Shin.

Shin could barely hear the horrifying yells and roars of the enemies as his own body was being shredded into pieces. But Shin still had a faint smile as there was a red coloured flame which erupted from his body and healed his body repeatedly.

Still, the pain Shin was feeling was horrible…

Painful…

But nothing in comparison to what I have felt before, hehe…

Shin closed his eyes peacefully as everything around him turned dark.
