Lord Shadow

Raymond look forward.

Thirty feet away from him is two people. One of them is a man and the other is a female. The dust slowly settles and they all could see each other

None of them are in good condition.

The man thirty feet away from Raymond has lost half his face. The right side of his body had already been pulverized. He is floating in the sky, slowly his body is healing itself.

But, it is slow.

That man is in terrible pain but he did not even scream even one bit. It cold eyes is looking at Raymond thirty feet away, the desire to kill is obvious

Bloodlust aura seems to rises up from him.

This man is Ronaldo the Stewmaker. He is a member of the Crime Alliance. Raymond knew him as he once read a report about him

Raymond does not like to kill. But, if he kills this stain of humanity he would not feel guilty at all.

He works for the Cartel. And as for his name, it is very apt. He helped dissolve many people for the cartel.

Before the Fall, there are people like this whose job is to dispose the dead for the Cartel. But Ronaldo…. this madman is different.

Many people already know that when they die, their body turns into energy and then redistributed back to the world.

This is simple explanation of energy distribution on Earth. That is the reason why after a period of fast leveling up in the beginning, the next batch of people that wanted to level up found themselves lacking the necessary energy to level up. The higher you go, the more this energy problem would haunt you.

Then why does the Cartel still do such a thing?

That is because Ronaldo had found a way to profit off killing people while increasing the strength of the Crime Alliance.

Raymond himself is not quite clear of what he had found. But it has something to do with Ronaldo stewing his enemies in a concentrated liquid chemical that would dissolve one bodies like drowning someone in flesh eating acid

At that time Raymond only skimmed the file and did not pay that much attention to the name.

It is quite ironic that today he would see this person here.

The woman that is standing on the ground is Nana. This is also someone that Raymond knows. This one is a bit better human than the Stewmaker.

A simple assassins and is used by the Yakuza before defecting to Yomi.

But a bit better than a person who dissolve living people in a vat of acid-like substances is not really a good person

Like the Stewmaker, Nana also has her own title. The Seven Step Killer. She usually kills in seven step.

That is what she tries to do with him. Her dagger flies, cutting space and time appear at him and cut through his diamond like skin like hot knife cutting through butter

So, there is a dagger lodged deep under his ribcage. He could not force it out as it seems to be stuck there like magic.

The more he tries to force it out, the more pain he received.

This is why some of his wound did not heal. Magical means and magical methods. Raymond knows this and he believes that if Nana died, the magical effect of the dagger would also disappear.

But Nana also is not in good condition.

She lost her left arm and there is a hole on her left chest.

But she is still breathing. Like him, she is also bleeding golden blood. And she is also repairing her body.

Raymond is not surprised that she is still alive even after having a hole in her chest. He had even seen people who could still remain alive with their head cut off.

The world that they are in now is a world of high fantasy. If you want to kill someone, eradicate them until they turn to dust.

The higher their level, the more methods they have to survive.

But right now, they are all in bad condition right now.

Still, Raymond is sure of his victory. Because there is still Sofia.

And those two could also see this conclusion. They know the Divine Archer is here. And she did not yet take her shot.

They both look at each other and it was like they reached an understanding in that brief of a glance.

Swoosh!

The wind swept away the dust and the dust disappears.

NOW!

They both shouted at the same time, their shout disturbs the wind and their feet move forward, their body turns blurry and sonic boom exploded in an instant

The Stewmaker takes a step, the space around him ripples as he flies toward Raymond almost in an instant.

Nana takes quickly seven steps and her body turns like lightning, another dagger in her hand, ready to stab Raymond.

In just one second, they traverse the distance of thirty feet and appears in front of Raymond. The Stewmaker is clenching his hand, on his fist there is a greenish purple aura.

It sizzles the air and a burning scent could be smell.

Raymond eyes look at the Stewmaker.

'TAKE THIS!'

The Stewmaker punches forward, a gust of wind accompany his fist and a powerful boom resounded all over the skyscape.

Nana appears at Raymond back like a ghost.

There is a dagger. The dagger is green in color, a jadeite dagger that seems to have an aura that is different from Nana herself.

A divine artifact.

The dagger cuts through the wind course, Nana moves her hand, the wind weaves right and left, the dagger stab toward Raymond back

Raymond saw the fist that is coming toward his chest and he could also see the dagger coming on his back.

In that split second, Raymond also makes his move. An Earth Wall appears in front of him, the fist of the Stewmaker melted the Earth Wall in a second, but a second is enough

Raymond kicks the ground with his feet, his body glides sideways, the green glint of the dagger misses his back by an inch.

BOOM!

The Earth Wall crumbles, the dagger cuts the wind. The Stewmaker merely shakes his hand and the Earth Wall exploded to countless pieces of soils that rain down to the ground.

Raymond glides sideways, the Stewmaker follows and a barrage of it is unleashed. Right now, the Stewmaker is burning his life force.

Raymond avoided this barrage of fist. But each time the Stewmaker missed, the island is being ravaged.

The power of the fist exploded toward the surrounding. There are many craters around the trails of their fight.

Nana also follows Raymond; her move is illusory. Every once in a while her dagger would cut some parts of Raymond skin. It is only now that he knew how sharp that dagger on Nana hand really is.

His skin that is as tough as diamond is vulnerable in front of this dagger

And each time she misses, the dagger force would split the air.

And the void left behind, it almost seems like the space between would not merge again, like she had just cut a piece of the fabric of reality

The entire island shakes and tumbles. Some of the already half destroyed hill could not take it anymore and crumbles down into ashes and dust

Raymond knows he could not keep this up. He is dodging the fist and the dagger. Even though the fist missed him many times and the dagger only gives him tiny damages, he is at a disadvantage and he could not push back at all.

The fist is getting faster, the dagger accumulates damages and momentum

If he keeps letting them to have their way, when their momentum is completed, Raymond would be in a big trouble.

both the Stewmaker and Nana did not stop their pressure, the fist and the dagger cooperated almost seamlessly.

The sky above them opens up and the sound of the wind is nothing but a faint sound for these three people engrossed in their battle.

A blur of golden, black and blue tangled with each other clash with each other.

Booming sound sounded all over the island. Countless of attack traded with each other, explosion occurs on the ground and on the sky, the whirring wind of the wind barrier absorbs all the force that was expelled from the battle of these three people

each strikes are like the roaring of thunder, each attack changes the ground and the skies. Gods fighting, the entire Heaven and Earth mourns!

BOOOM!

Suddenly these three blurry figure separated from each other. The shockwave flattened almost a hundred kilometers vast forest

The island shakes violently like it was going to turn over.

Three figures fall from the sky like a meteor shower.

Three booming sound echoes after one another; three quakes shakes the island. An explosion exploded in three different places

These explosions occurred fifty feet apart from each other.

Raymond, the Stewmaker, Nana, these three people fought, the eyes could not see their battle, but the fact that they separated means the battle is nearly over.

Someone has won and someone has lost.
