"Awooooo," A shadow flashed by as a streak of crimson splattered over the ground. A head fell down as the wolf revealed his presence. His red eyes demanded blood as he extended his claws. His shadow flashed by yet again as head fell left and right.
"Man, that's some carnage," Sitting in the replacement area, Tim commented. He was covered in armor from top to bottom and had his trusty shield in his hand.
He seemed pretty calm as this was just the start of the operation and for the first time in ages, he wasn't on the front lines. He was a replacement for the tank team.
"Well, he is an alpha wolf and one of the strongest ones present over here. So it will be a carnage if not anything else," Another member of the replacement team said.
"Swish…." The wind blew by as a graceful slash was made. A yellowish halo illuminated the area as a lady walked out. Her armor glowed slightly as it added beauty to her graceful demeanor. The sword in her hand flashed, leaving behind several after images, she slashed it forward.
A thin arc illuminated the dark hallway as it cut through the horde of trolls. Blood and body organs fell to the ground. The trolls trampled their own kin as the mindless monsters only cared to kill the humans in front of them.
"Hehe… that was fun," Nia chuckled and flicked her sword. The blood was gone as the sharp illuminating blade shone in the darkness.
"hey you two. Hurry up, the others wanna have some fun too," A voice sounded.
Turning around, they both saw Adrian standing there with a huge grin on his face. Covered in dark black armor, he almost blended into the shadows themselves.
"Who stopped you? You are free to join in on the fun," Nia replied with her words laced with sarcasm. She thought that Adrian was scared and was trying to act cocky in front of them.
"Hehe… you think I am scared? I was just saying as not to hurt you guys," Adrian chuckled.
Raising his hands, two sickles appeared in his hands. His eyes turned dark. It seemed as if the darkness it self bended over his will. Looking in front, he suddenly disappeared. Appearing in the air, he laughed all of a sudden.
"huh?" Hearing him laugh in such a manner, Ray turned and focused on him. His eyes constricted as Ray smiled, "Let's see what he got," He thought and watched.
Adrian controlled the shadows around him as they covered his whole body and formed a strange scene over him. His eyes were left hollow as a dark mask formed over his face. He looked like a villain that had crawled up from the depths of underworld.
His back had several dark hands coming out of it as they covered him wholly. He looked no less disgusting than he looked scary. Some of the women present even turned their heads away seeing the hideous scene in front of them.
"Aurora, your thoughts?" Ray asked.
"A sadist for sure. I would say that he dropped a part of his brain somewhere. Other than that, his power levels are off the charts. He is almost as strong as you if you don't use your bloodline," Aurora answered. Her voice displayed the fact that she was disgusted by Adrian's style.
"Hmmm… he can be useful," Ray thought. He decided to watch a bit more and see if the man was worth it.
On the other hand, Adrian was almost over the trolls. The darkness in his eyes moved, a strange energy flowed out of him. The shadows emerged as they covered the whole place and seemed to slow it down.
The time slowed as everyone saw the trolls move in slow motion. The scythes flashed by as the troll below him fell to the ground. A clear cut on his neck as Adrian didn't stop. He kicked the air and rocketed forward. The shadows still slowed the time around him as his scythes slashed one troll after another.
Since these trolls were still in the Mortal Realm, they were a breeze to kill. That is why everyone was having fun in killing them. Ray didn't stop them let them have some fun, this way they would get themselves warmed up and ready for the stronger one's.
As for the rest of the teams, Ray just let them be. The support members were always on standby to support the assault team and provide with them buffs or healings.
As for the tank team, the members just sat down on the ground and enjoyed the show. They didn't need to tank these low level trolls, if they did; it would not only be a waste of their talent and energy but they might also kill the trolls while on it.
Ray just looked at everything unfold. A smile graced his face as it was all fun right now. The moment they entered deeper, they would know what the situation actually was and that was the thing that worried him.
The carefree smile of his was just a cover. It covered his worries and insecurities that he felt every moment. This expedition was important to him. Some of his dearest friends were present here and he had gathered the strongest fighters along with him.
If these were killed, they would be done for. Ray really hoped for everything to go smoothly because even a single error would ruin it for them.
"Nice work," Ray came out of his thoughts and appraised Adrian. That man had killed dozens of trolls within minutes and he did so with absolute calmness. The eerie grin still remained on his face as craziness oozed out of him.
Adrian turned back and looked at Ray. Slanting his head slightly, he pointed his finger at Ray and spoke, "Now you do it. Your turn,"
"Hehe… a challenge," Ray chuckled, "Well, I have been itching for a good fight too. So lemme show you all what true power is," He said and walked forward.
While he did, the mana in his body surged. His mana core thumped as his heart beat faster. The blood in his veins circulated more and more as his skin turned red.
His eyes flashed with mana as arcs of electricity crackled over his skin. Raising his hand, a portal opened up above him as a spear fell out of it and into his hand.
This was the Void Spear. He had stored the Void Shards in his spatial storage and did so in the form of the Void Spear. Having been accustomed to using it as his weapon, Ray looked in front of him and smiled.
A strange halo formed behind him as Ray seemed even mightier than before. His aura sky rocketed as the arcs of electricity spread outward. Holding the spear forward, Ray kicked the ground and flew into the air.
Leaving behind a trail of electrical arcs, lightning covered the spear as he spun mid air and thrust the spear forward. The tip of the spear lit up as bolts of lightning were released out of it.
Ray didn't stop. He kicked the air and flew even higher. His eyes flooded with mana, he looked in front of him and eyed the horde of trolls. Deciding to clear a huge majority of the trolls, his mana core churned even faster.
Mana was pumped to every cell of his body as Ray's cells whizzed with energy. His eyes turned deep blue. The lightning around him intensified as if turned into thicker bolts of lighting. They whipped around the surroundings as the ground was charred black by them.
"Hehe…" Ray's chuckle reverberated in the silence as everyone who watched had their eyes open. They just looked at Ray in astonishment. They were seeing a man control an element to the limits and still be unfazed by it.
[Thunder Spear Slash], Using his new battle technique, Ray raise this spear. The moment his feet touched the ground, he disappeared. Leaving behind arcs of lighting, he appeared in front of the trolls and slashed his spear.
"Spurrttt…" Blood fell on the ground as the troll was torn apart. The troll's charred body also fell to the ground as Ray had already moved to his next target. He thrust his spear forward as a head exploded into blood and mush.
Ray didn't care, he turned into a flash and appeared in different places as he slashed, thrust and hooked his spear into the trolls and killed them.
His carnage was different from others. He just used a single element and a simple weapon but his mastery over his power ruled over everything. His attacks were deadly, his movements were said and he left behind no openings that the enemy could take advantage of.
This was Ray and his style. He finally showed everyone why he was leading them. It was nothing but the pure destructive power he had. Within a few minutes, he had turned the whole place up and down. Half of the trolls were gone, the ground was charred and he stood in front of them with arcs of lightning spreading out of his body.
A smile was on his face as he felt himself mastering his power more and more. He felt reaching something he always wanted but he knew that it was still a bit far away and he needed to work harder.
