Chapter 324: Sever

The air trembled, the earth screamed, while the ocean escaped. A flurry of attacks with devastating might were exchanged each second, the shockwaves alone rupturing the land.

Rhachis Ancestor Parasite!

Rhachis Ancestor Light!

Psychic Ancestor Marble!

Three beings at the peak of the world fought, using all their abilities. Rhachis Ancestor Parasite swatted its hand, hitting six layers of magenta barriers, cracking and shattering five. The force of the attack sent Psychic Ancestor Marble flying for a kilometre before he managed to reorient himself, instantaneously flashing back to battle.

His psychic arms combined into one and turned into a fist, slamming into Rhachis Ancestor Parasite. Rhachis Ancestor Parasite punched using its left hand, ending up even in the exchange. A tinge of marble even crept up onto its fingers. It flicked its fingers once and dusted it off.

Its right hand caught hold of a blade of light flying its way, slightly tugging its elbow to shatter it. It opened its mouth to shout, unleashing a roar. The sound waves blasted Rhachis Ancestor Light away, with some of the waves falling on Marble City.

Ripples formed on the city's barrier while the land around it quaked. The ripples were negated within a second before the damage could worsen. The soldiers within the walls were roaring, exerting all their strength to support the barrier from collapsing.

A massive chakram, magenta in colour spun with blinding speeds, but it didn't stir up the air. Covering its edges was a formless energy, the product of Rhachis Ancestor Light's Tier 6 Skill.

Tier 6 Skill—Sever!

The chakram collided into Rhachis Ancestor Parasite, cutting into its flesh, drawing out blood. Rhachis Ancestor Parasite unleashed a kick on the face of the chakram, shattering it into countless pieces, creating a powerful beam in the air that sent Psychic Ancestor Marble flying back by a hundred metres.

Rhachis Ancestor Light clenched his right hand into a fist, converging tremendous amounts of energy into it, "The Skep Primogenitor is still alive."

"Haah," Followed by a shout, he unleashed a condensed beam of light, brightening hundreds of kilometres of the land. Rhachis Ancestor Parasite shielded with its hands, meeting the attack that sent it flying for two kilometres. The light seeped into the lacerations on its body, attacking it internally.

Psychic Ancestor Marble flew alongside the beam of light, infusing his Unranked Skill into it, turning it magenta. The magenta seeped into Rhachis Ancestor Parasite's wounds, turning its muscles magenta, weakening it.

In the window of time his attack bought him, Rhachis Ancestor Light condensed a light eagle twice his size, facing it northeast, "Go!"

Speed of Light!

The light eagle vanished as a ray of light when Rhachis Ancestor Light's senses rang numerous alarms. "Marble!"

Psychic Ancestor Marble flashed to his side, shielding the two of them using his psychic arms. Rhachis Ancestor Light also condensed his light into the barrier, enlarging it while coming between Marble City and Rhachis Ancestor Parasite.

"Where did it go?" Rhachis Ancestor Parasite craned its right hand to the back, exerting strength in it, its eyes finally turning serious. White and magenta smoke oozed out through its injuries while the flesh rapidly healed itself. The water in the ocean below receded while the air vacated the area.

"Tier 6…" Rhachis Ancestor Parasite punched forth at the air, retracting its fist after an instant. A formless force exited its fists and travelled at the same speed as its punch, but the might it carried made the very land quake in protest.

The force slammed into the barrier Psychic Ancestor Marble and Rhachis Ancestor Light had erected, cracking it continuously while sending them reeling backwards. Their bodies were continuously damaged as something corrosive ate away at their barrier and bodies, injuring them.

Psychic Ancestor Marble turned his body magenta, resisting the effects of the attack, pouring in tremendous levels of psychic energy into his Unranked Skill to mend the barrier. Their bodies were like kites that had their strings cut as they slammed into the ground, the rebound making their bodies bounce.

It was like they were stuck within a twister that had been formed by blades, constantly shredding them while the force within slamming them, crushing and shredding them simultaneously. Psychic Ancestor Marble extended his psychic arms, using their power to forcefully stabilise their situation.

Rhachis Ancestor Light unleashed blinding light that offset the formless force, biting and tearing at each other to negate its influence on them. They continuously flew for a long distance, colliding and bouncing back from the earth while the force still attacked them.

It didn't seem like the punch from a solid entity. It was like a column of water was constantly flowing past, with each droplet in it mounting attacks at them.

"Marble!" Rhachis Ancestor Light shouted, "Do something! We'll crash into the city at this rate."

Psychic Ancestor Marble went all out, creating a massive cushion that absorbed the force of the impact, also erecting numerous contraptions that ate away at the energy in it, turned it into marble and brought it under his control.

Some of the contraptions formed into jets that propelled against the force while the magenta hue seeped into it, further weakening it. Psychic Ancestor Marble's eyes widened, emitting a tremendous flux of psychic energy as the formless force was instantly turned magenta, cracking and dispersing into psychic energy that he later absorbed.

"Ugh!" He grunted, a thin stream of magenta liquid flowed out from his mouth as he brought them to a halt, turning around to see they were just 100 metres away from Marble City. "The situation is bad; it has activated its Tier 6 Skill."

A massive presence made an arc towards them, intent on landing on Marble City. Rhachis Ancestor Light's eyes were solemn, his aura fully retracted, his figure dimming to the extent It was no longer perceivable, "Each punch and kick from it will contain this much power. If we fight here, Marble City would be completely destroyed."

"Even if I die…" Psychic Ancestor Marble resolved himself. He was cut off by Rhachis Ancestor Light, "No, your existence is more valuable than mine. Without you, Marble City wouldn't be able to develop and prosper like this. It will be annihilated within a decade."

His figure completely disappeared as the area turned dark, there wasn't even a spec of light, even the radiance of the stars failed to cast on the land. Rhachis Ancestor Light gazed at the approaching figure, taking in a deep breath as his Heart Crystal hummed, emitting a light wave that synchronised with his body, attuning to one.

His palms touched each other, positioned before his heart, his breathing creating faint gusts before the sounds of a flute resounded from him. His eyes were closed as the air danced, the tune permeating a certain aura into it.

He was in a position of prayer, his forehead pointed towards the moon, his breathing soon turning still. His beating heart stopped, all the activity in his body following suit.

Tier 6 Skill—Sever!

Unranked Skill—Light Symphony!

His hands moved forward, the palms facing the arriving opponent, unleashing a massive column of light, ten times his body size. Its tip was shaped into a cone, created by the formless energy of his Tier 6 Skill.

The formless energy fully covered the beam of light, using the sturdiness of the latter to form itself into a myriad of structures. There was no way to avoid the beam of light. The instant he unleashed it, it landed on Rhachis Ancestor Parasite, the tip boring into its flesh, hitting its ribcage, cracking it.

The beam of light curved like a snake, travelling at speeds of light, morphing into a blade that coiled around Rhachis Ancestor Parasite's body, lacerating the flesh while cracking the bones. Rhachis Ancestor Light punched once, shattering a long column of the light. But, it hadn't even finished its punch before the column of light grew and continued with its attacks.

It was an overwhelming difference in speed, overwhelming the strength of his opponent. Situated far away, the Frenzy Beast Ancestors felt their hearts lurching, the devastating attack etched in their minds, making them shudder.

"So, this is the real power of Light, the second strongest human." Rhachis Ancestor Warlord's gaze was pensive, a fire burning in its mind, its desire igniting with a tremendous blaze once again.

In the night sky, there was a winding column of light, like a mythical snake from the legends that connected heaven and earth.

The attacks continued in a flurry, damaging Rhachis Ancestor Parasite at speeds beyond its recovery. The first to be shredded was its right arm, followed by its left leg. The next in the target was the spine that it guarded the most.

Rhachis Ancestor Parasite emitted the formless force, pushing the beam of light backwards. The beam of light coiled around the sphere formed by the formless force, cracking and invading it. In the short second the formless force bought, Rhachis Ancestor Parasite already regrew its limbs.

Parts of its limbs that had been shredded before disintegrated, vanishing without a trace. It folded its arms, facing the palms outwards, pushing in one swift motion. The formless force expanded in radius, straining the beam of light before cutting it into numerous parts.

The beam of light recovered even before the cutting process completed, continuing with the attacks. Psychic Ancestor Marble was fully tensed, guarding Rhachis Ancestor Light with all his might in fear of any sneak attacks. He also noticed Rhachis Ancestor Light's body began to lose mass, trembling as time passed. The attack already took everything he had, his entire being infused into it.

Suddenly, the surroundings began to cool; the light eagle returned, half-melted. Two individuals were seated on it. One of them jumped, landing beside Rhachis Ancestor Light while the other directly jumped towards Rhachis Ancestor Parasite.

The light turned into flames.
