"Attack," the leader said calmly, and within seconds dozens of different spells flew towards Anabela. She just backed away easily, but...
Clang!
"Your arrogance will still kill you, Ana," Anthony defended the attack of a woman who appeared invisibly right behind Anabela. If not for him, the girl would have suffered a serious injury easily.
Ashley also joined the battle and soon a confusion of spells erupted everywhere. Ashley and Anthony were hand-to-hand combatants and even with several levels of difference, they were managing to balance the fight. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough for them to win.
Anabela could easily burn her opponents with her phoenixes, but she always left them very close to dying and did not finish her opponents, giving the leader time to quickly heal them to the point where they were able to fight again.
"Insolent, shooting star!" A huge mass of mana converged from Anabela to form her final spell and within seconds a huge meteor formed above her head. It was simply colossal and much stronger than what she used against Kayden.
Anthony and Ashley quickly retreated from the crossfire as the meteor quickly descended. It ripped through the air and made a frightening sound, anyone caught in it would be dead instantly.
"Protection bubble!" the leader took a watch out of his pocket and broke it. Then a golden bubble appeared around him and his group. Kayden could see the ten people throwing mana into the clock with everything they had.
BOOM!
The meteor collided with the barrier and for a second it was balanced above it and then, in a few seconds of suspense, it just veered to the side and created a gigantic crater. The golden bubble had sunk at least 3 meters below the ground but left everyone inside unharmed.
Anabela was stunned to see her strongest spell being easily defended. She didn’t know that the defense artifact was something from the second realm and was not available in the sun realm, so she was unaware of it.
Kayden finally saw that the fight was going to turn bad for his friends. Anabela was recovering mana at an accelerated rate and would not be able to cast large spells again. The boy had already finished seeing how much his acquaintances had improved.
Using his path to the fullest he hit the group like a rocket. His entrance took the ten by surprise, as Kayden had been the only one who hadn’t made a move previously. Its speed was ridiculous and it caught up to the men quickly.
BOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
Three rays in a row fell on the group, each ray hit at least one person, while the others managed to dodge it and began to throw different offensive spells at Kayden. The woman who had tried to murder Anabela appeared next to Kayden...
SWISH!
Her head rolled like it was made of paper as Kayden’s aura slash decapitated her. Kayden had felt her mana micro evasions all this time and when she launched her attack she was too close to react.
Kayden wasted no time and used more lightning to unbalance the group in front of him and get close to the leader. His sword attack was defended by an extremely tough iron staff. Kayden was surprised that the leader, who was a healer, was able to defend himself physically.
He had to retreat because of the spells and physical attacks approaching him. Unfortunately, the group underestimated Kayden’s madness and after taking two steps back he charged again against nine people and dozens of spells.
Kayden used the mana from all of his 200-odd meters to form a ridiculous aura attack, it was the strongest attack he had ever launched in his life. The leader looked at that and fear showed on his face instantly, he no longer had any barrier available and had to force a bubble with his own hands.
The group was very well trained and quickly everyone started throwing mana at the bubble. As soon as the aura attack touched the bubble, a ghastly sound of scraping metal was heard. Furthermore, several sparks were coming out from the entire region and the aura attack made contact with the bubble.
Crack!
Crack!
After one part broke, it was just a chain break until the attack passed through the bubble and hit the group. It was simply too fast for them to dodge, and this time one of the groups was split in two. Unfortunately, the bubble cost half the strength of the attack and only managed to kill one of them, but Kayden had gotten what he wanted.
His killing intent was released wildly and everyone could see thousands of faces of humans and beasts appearing around him. The scary thing was that there seemed to be a river of mud around Kayden and these faces were rising screaming. The amount was simply too ridiculous for one person to achieve in just one lifetime.
"Let’s continue?" Kayden asked as he looked into the leader’s eyes and saw only instinctive fear. Kayden killed two members in less than 30 seconds of fighting without even blinking. Killing was as natural as breathing for him.
"Back off!" a smoke bomb that covered dozens of meters was released by the leader as the group retreated in fear of just one person. Kayden, once again, proved himself above all.
"Anabela," Kayden called, breaking the girl out of her thoughts, and she responded automatically.
"Hey!!" Surprise made her voice strange and she felt ashamed of acting inelegantly and comparing herself to a commoner.
"When you’re facing people who won’t be afraid to kill you, you should kill them at the first opportunity, don’t be an idiot." Kayden’s attention-grabbing call made her blush. The truth is that she had never been killed before and grew up protected by her parents.
"I’m going in, if you want to join me feel free." Kayden began to descend towards the maze and a few moments later the three of them descended with him. His performance wasn’t what surprised them, it was the ease with which he took lives.

As soon as they stepped a foot into the maze, they saw that the entrance behind them no longer existed and was just a wall of leaves. Kayden tried to attack the wall and couldn’t even scratch the leaves. Furthermore, his spiritual sense was impaired, only reached the region that was between the walls.
He could still feel the mana in his path, but that was it. I couldn’t say anything more than that there was mana behind that wall. His group was testing the wall as well when they were attacked by several daggers.
Kayden was the first to react and easily dodged the dagger. The other three in his group didn’t have much difficulty either. Within moments, Kayden identified the attacker as a person who was pinned to the wall of leaves. You couldn’t tell him apart from the mana on the wall, but his daggers had a tiny thread of mana that most people wouldn’t be able to feel.
He probably attacked and plundered those he could, and if he failed he would just put the matter aside and hide, waiting for the next target.
BOOOM!
Kayden smiled as he saw his lightning strike the attacker and seriously injure him. His attack caught him squarely, as he hadn’t expected an attack. His body fell with a thud to the ground. He was still breathing, and able to stand, but the damage was severe and he was only tied down by Kayden’s mana pressure.
"Anabela, kill him." Kayden didn’t want to be responsible for educating other people, but since she was in her group, it was better to mature, because if Kayden needed it, he could trust her.
"I’m not going to kill a tied-up person." The girl felt superior to that.
"You are an idiot? He just tried to take your life, do you think you’re living in a fairy tale? This is the real world, there is no honor when your life is at risk. If he was stronger you would be dead and he would loot your body or do worse things. Kill him."
Kayden was harsh with his words and his tone left the girl no other option. Subconsciously, she raised her hand, her body trembled and Kayden felt every second that she was pathetic.
"I am unable."
"Pathetic" Kayden decapitated the person without any mercy and I continued forward, Anabela had Kayden’s words in her head, she had never been treated like that before, either because they didn’t dare to offend her family or because she wanted to flatter her.
The quartet walked just a few more meters until the maze opened into a round room, in the center it had a kind of natural spirit, it was a bipedal species made entirely of wood, in addition it had some leaves around it, was a closed trunk, this scene reminded Kayden a lot of those classic role-playing games from his past life.
