"Acht!!" Leislet shouted as she rushed toward the young boy. He was surrounded by enemies that were already about to plunge their swords into him and kill him on the spot.
However, the young man didn't move and merely closed his eyes, keeping a calm state of mind as he took deep, rhythmic breaths suggesting what kind of state he was in at the moment.
'What is he doing?' She thought to herself as her face paled considerably and her mind raced as she tried to figure out what he wanted to do. Acht wasn't reckless enough to put himself in such a dangerous situation without a good reason.
So, as if to confirm her suspicions, something weird happened that made her jaw almost drop down to the ground.
A pillar of blue light suddenly emerged from within the sea of enemies that flooded that area. The pillar of light was a few meters wide and reached a staggering 800 meters in the air.
Leislet's head arched up to its full flexibility for her to be able to see the end of the pillar.
The enemies also started retreating from the sudden appearance of this phenomenon.
They all couldn't understand what happened out of nowhere. However, they knew who was the reason for this.
Standing in the middle of the pillar of light was Acht who was still motionless with his eyes closed shut. His calm state somehow became even more pronounced and his calm breathing became even calmer.
The most shocked person however is the leader of the invaders. His eyes widened with shock as his fists trembled.
"...The origin warrior?... What? How?" He muttered under his breath with total disbelief.
Meanwhile, the pillar of light stopped its ascension, and then it started going down.
When it reached the bottom, now barely a meter and a half tall, the form of the pillar changed.
The change was slow but very drastic. It went from a mere pillar that was a giant cylinder to something that many could discern as a human form.
The man felt the clear danger that was looming over his army and immediately ordered loudly.
"Retreat!! Now!!" He shouted.
The army didn't waste time and started moving away from the silhouette made out of energy.
However, by the time that form appeared, it was all over.
"Stop." A sound suddenly echoed in the whole city.
The voice was very deep, hoarse, and almost inhuman.
This voice wasn't coming from Acht but from the form of energy that appeared to cover his whole body.
The man nervously looked back at the silhouette and he immediately clenched his teeth. Two shining blue eyes returned the same gaze toward him.
The eyes were far from being normal as they didn't have any pupils and merely were like two blue light bulbs.
"Don't listen and keep moving!!" He ordered again with even more intensity.
However, this time, all the clones stopped moving. It was as if every clone lost control of their bodies as they turned around to look at the silhouette.
"What are you doing?! Move!!!" He shouted.
However, no response came back, they all kept looking at the silhouette without moving at all.
"What a loathsome fellow." The voice spoke again.
"You use my sacred body to create filthy clones out of me and then you expect me to let you control them. Way too stupid!! Way too naive!!" The voice spoke.
Somehow, his burst of emotions made the energy around him ignite even more.
"What?!"
"You did not only disturb my slumber but you also disrespected this one. You reincarnated bastards shall see the darkness of despair soon." He said before looking back at the clones.
"Kill everyone who tries to harm this world. I want none of them alive." The voice said.
As if they were struck by lightning, the clones started moving again albeit rigidly.
One of the clones was very close to one of the reincarnated people that were working under the man himself.
The clone then grabbed his neck and with a swift move.
*Crack*
The man dropped dead after a swift neck crack.
This scene happened many times in the next 3 seconds. Many reincarnated men dropped dead after getting stealthily killed.
By the time they were able to react, half of them had already been killed.
"What are you doing?!! Kill them now!!!" The man shouted as he started retreating.
However, his body suddenly stopped moving as if it was restricted by invisible chains.
"You are not allowed to move from there. Wait for your fate quietly." The voice said.
With barely any effort, it restricted the man and made him incapable of doing anything, not even talking.
He had only his eyes that were still moving as they darted around in fear.
The massacre continued, and a massive clash between the Reincarnated and the clones took place.
Blood splattered everywhere, mostly from the Reincarnated army's side. They couldn't fight the clones without the crystals that were made to make damaging them possible.
So, it was safe to say that it was just a one-sided slaughter. They all were killed brutally, sole limbs were thrown everywhere. Decapitated heads and bloody organs were also covering a massive area.
After a few minutes, the clones finally completed their mission with the last man falling dead after getting bombarded with energy bombs, making every cell of his body get burned and then explode.
"...Acht…" Leislet muttered as she looked at his back.
He was engulfed in blue energy that formed the silhouette. He also didn't seem to be aware of his surroundings as he had no reaction no matter how many times she called for his name.
"Don't worry, woman. He is fine. I have control over his heart so he can't hear you." The voice said.
Leislet gulped slightly before nodding her head like a small kid talking to an adult.
"Now, to end all of this. I want all of you to destroy every ship that enters this world. Then, I want every one of you to self-destruct." He shouted.
The clones immediately went to work without hesitation. They had been ordered to commit suicide yet they didn't hesitate to do so.
The clones then flew into the air and attacked the ship in the air.
"Mmmmm!!!" The leader tried to speak but his mouth was closed shut so he could only whimper like a goat at the sight of his ships getting destroyed.
"That is your fate, insect. I always pay disrespect with a fate worse than death and yours is one of those cases. Accept it."
After saying such words, the silhouette started growing fainter and fainter as if it lost the energy that kept it working.
" This quick? I guess the young man is still too young for this. He will have a bad backlash for summoning me. But, he should be able to recover from it." He muttered before disappearing completely.
Then, Acht's body finally got released and his eyes opened again. Before he could even take a good look around him, Acht felt an intense pain assault his chest as he bent down with clenched teeth.
"Ughhhh!!" He grunted painfully as blood trickled down from his mouth.
*Cough* *Cough*
He started coughing violently and blood splattered down from the intense coughing he was suffering from.
"Acht!!!" Leislet shouted as she ran toward him to support him.
She made his head rest against her chest as she held his shoulders tightly to support him.
"I'm…fine…" he muttered with difficulty.
The truth however wasn't that simple, he had already felt a huge amount of energy seep out of his body. Just from summoning the origin warrior, he lost 10 levels from soul force making him fall back to the first step of the orange soul level. However, this drop back didn't make Acht upset since he had already anticipated this drop back from using a level of strength his body can't simply handle.
He was actually pretty lucky that it was merely a few levels lost. He could've even suffered permanent damage on his soul stone that could've made him incapable of leveling up again.
"How are you fine?! You are coughing blood!" She shouted.
"It's just a small backlash. I am better now." He replied before looking at the restricted man who was glaring daggers at him.
Then, he tapped Leislet's hand to release him. Even though she was still very worried, she allowed him to stand up alone.
He then started walking to the man with steady steps.
When he was very close to him, he looked into the man's eyes with a calm look.
"When I first saw you, I thought you were indeed someone that the land of the Reincarnated sent you to invade this place. However, that is wrong right…Mr exiled."
The man's eyes widened in shock at Acht's words. He wanted to speak but he couldn't, which allowed Acht to continue.
"You are just trash that was thrown away by your own empire into the vast space so you decided to just invade a weak world with whatever army you had left with you."
