"What the hell are you doing!?"
Vindan shouted in anger.
"It is better if it is one of us rather than all of us."
Aiden spoke.
The energy radiating out of his body was overpowering. The suppressive pressure was so powerful that even though the other 3 standing next to him were Great Sage Cultivators just like him, they were having a hard time looking at Aiden's face.
"I am the only one who can do it, Vindan."
"You crazy bastard! Stop it right now!"
Miliana shouted.
"What? Didn't you say I betrayed the clan? Is this enough for you to realize know the truth?" Aiden chuckled.
"I-I get it! I get it! I apologize for what I said! Now stop it!" Miliana screamed as she grabbed Aiden's collar, even though the pressure Aiden was releasing was so strong that she was having a hard time breathing, she still didn't back down.
"If you want to do it, then just do it.
Why the hell are you being so dramatic?
Or what? You think you have infinite Life Force or something?" Xavien spoke with a cold look on his face.
"Xavien! What the hell are you talking about!?" Vindan shouted in rage.
"He has already made up his mind, Vindan. If he doesn't make a move now, we will all die anyways.
If burning my Life Force could save you all, I would have done it as well.
Don't stop him, he is already burning up his life force, if you act like that, his Life Force would run out.
And who knows?
If he ends it fast enough, he might still have a few years left in him."
Xavien spoke.
"…"
"…"
Vindan and Miliana turned silent.
"Hahaha~ I knew you were the smartest amongst us all!"
Aiden laughed out loud.
"Just go."
Xavien retorted.
He was acting cold, however, all three of them could see how his fists were trembling.
Xavien was enraged.
And why would he not be?
He, Aiden, Vindan, Miliana, and Walim, the five of them were not just normal Clan Mates,
They were friends who had been through rough and tough together.
Destiny had a legacy of 16 Centuries, this long history… they all have built it together…
They were like a Family.
And today, Xavien was sending his family member to his death.
"Alright."
With a big smile on his face, Aiden replied, he then turned around and glanced at Melia.
Then, he jumped.
*BOOOM*
The force around him was so strong that within a mini-second, he appeared near Melia, who was floating in the air.
"You are burning your life force."
Melia commented with a calm look on her face.
"As expected, even after burning my Life Force, I am still not your match."
Aiden commented with a weak look on his face as he slowly glanced below and looked at the Blood Spear that had impaled his heart.
"Khaawwkkk!!"
He coughed out blood.
"You would have defeated me if you had burned your Life Force at the start," Melia replied with her usual expressionless face.
Aiden just chuckled wryly when he heard Melia's reply.
"You were right, we were too arrogant.
You already knew we wouldn't win this battle, didn't you?" Aiden muttered.
"What kind of fool would ever accept a losing match?
You never had a chance to begin with."
"Hahaha~"
Aiden laughed out loud.
"We were too arrogant…" He repeated his sentence, but then, his expression changed.
"But so are you."
Saying those words, Aiden activated the Artifact he was carrying with what remaining strength he had.
The Artifact was in the form of a disk and the moment Aiden activated it, the Disk split into 4 pieces, and those pieces moved towards Melia.
"!!!"
Melia's expression changed.
She quickly moved back and the Blood Wall appeared to stop those pieces, however, the pieces tore through the Blood Wall as if it was made of paper and rushed toward Melia.
Melia tried dodging the pieces to the best of her ability, however, the pieces were way too fast for her to do anything.
In the end, those pieces attached themselves to Melia's four limbs and then turned into cuffs.
Suddenly, Melia's connection to Mana was cut off.
Whether it was the surrounding Mana, or the Mana inside her body, she couldn't control it anymore.
Not only that, her body weakened and her Cultivation... it disappeared.
The Blood that was flowing around all over the place fell on the ground. Her Blood Wall, the Blood Bats, the Blood Spears, all of them turned into normal blood and fell down.
It was not just blood, even Melia herself fell down as well.
*Bam*
"Destiny is a Middle-Level Clan with 16 centuries of rich history. Did you really think we wouldn't have any trump cards?"
Aiden, who landed on the ground spoke up with a smile on his face.
His heart was already pierced through, so there is no way he would survive anymore, he was using his Life Force and Mana to keep his blood flowing through his system, it wasn't much, however, it would definitely give him extra few minutes.
He wanted to see the last victory that he brought to his clan with his own eyes.
"An 11 Star Artifact that can seal anyone's Cultivation for 5 whole minutes. Although it may not work on Saints or Divine Stage Cultivators, it is more than enough for a Great Sage like you."
"Despicable."
Melia, who fell on the ground, glared at Aiden and cursed.
"Hahaha~ It's a Deathmatch. What do you mean despicable?" Aiden laughed, then suddenly,
"Khaawwwkk!!"
He coughed out blood and fell on his knees.
His end was near.
"Aiden! Stop using your Life Force!!" Miliana, who rushed here with Vindan and Xavien, shouted in worry as she held his shoulders.
"Aiden…"
However, soon, her eyes fell on that hole in his chest and her expression changed.
"I defeated her, you guys would deal with the rest, right?"
Aiden questioned with a weak smile on his face.
"What are you talking about!? Aiden! Drink the Potion! Quick!"
Miliana shouted, her eyes turned misty.
"You know it wouldn't work, Miliana. Stop it, let me act strong in my last moments…"
"You… You bastard…" A drop of tear rolled out of Miliana's eyes.
Then, her expression changed,
"I will destroy your entire Clan!!"
She roared in rage as she turned towards Melia.
At the same time, she shot a Fire Ball at her.
In her current state, even a normal Fireball Spell was lethal for Melia, however, Melia didn't close her eyes or accept her fate.
She prepared herself and tried to move away, however, before she could, Earth Walls formed near her back and her left and right sides, blocking all the ways she dodge the attack. She was trapped, this Fireball, she couldn't dodge it anymore.
Melia glared at Xavien.
"Don't even think about it."
Xavien spoke, his hatred for Melia was clear in his eyes.
Different emotions surged into Melia's mind, frustration, anger, and... fear.
"This is the end."
Vindan spoke but suddenly,
*Bam*
A Purple Black wall formed in front of Melia, protecting her from the Fire Ball.
"Guess you got a little careless there, huh…"
Melia then heard a voice and just as she did, her mind, which was clouded with different emotions, cleared away and she sighed in relief.
"You are here." She muttered with a relieved look on her face.
But as soon as she glanced at the man in front of her, Melia frowned in confusion.
"You… You are Nux…?"
