A man, or at least what looked like one, stood atop a mountain of corpses and held a Suguyari spear in his right hand while simply holding his left palm out in a way that would signify he was ready to battle anyone who stood in his path.

Thousands upon thousands of men looked at the man with fear in their eyes, while some even dropped to their knees out of either awe of his power, or terror that they might be next.

The aura he released would go unrivaled. It was one filled with bloodlust and rage, as well as the bottomless intent to kill that seemed to seep into his enemies and make them more susceptible to their minds.

However, within all the bloodlust stood the resemblance of a broken man. One who just wanted to avenge. One who just wanted to see his family again, living a happy life far away from all the havoc created when the 3 kingdoms clash.

"Guan Yu! Why have you done this! Why do you insist on resisting the sun!? Look where Resistance has gotten you! It has left you in the gutter! Look at you! Because of your foolishness you have no wife nor chi-" The man couldn't finish his sentence since a blade had already impaled his throat before releasing some kind of toxin that killed him on the spot.

"Guan Yu! How dare you!" Another roared before slamming their foot on the ground and catapulting themselves towards me, or to be specific, the body through which I was observing everything.

The man, Guan Yu, didn't seem to care about the raging 'animal', or at least that was what he thought of him at that moment. He was him as a raging animal who did not deserve an ounce of sympathy, especially after siding with the kingdom rather than him.

"We used to be close..." I felt my lips move but instead of hearing my voice, I heard the voice of Guan Yu. Being in his body was like inhabiting a completely different world.

Not only were his moves so much more efficient than my own, but there was also a certain grace to his every move.

Everything from his steps to his facial expressions felt graceful, but my amazement didn't stop there.

*BOOM*

*SWOOSH*

Pushing his foot forward, he took a single step that catapulted him through the air and in the direction of the incoming man.

After having stepped forward, many of the corpses from the mountain he had created were kicked up, almost like it was their own dust cloud created to replace dust for bodies.

His body flashed from its place and appeared in front of the incoming man. The veins on his hands bulged as he held the Suguyari tightly.

The incoming man finally looked up to see the absolute behemoth that lay in front of him. A power beyond his understanding... A power beyond humanity's understanding...

"An Ascender..." The man quietly muttered having already accepted his fate.

I watched through Guan Yu's eyes as the man closed his eyes.

And so, Guan Yu pushed his spear, the Suguyari, forwards with all his might.

His spear seemed to explode with a dark red energy filled to the brim with negative emotions. Hundreds, if not thousands of illusory faces appeared within the energy, yet even that was not as terrifying as the scream of terror, created out of the voices of millions of people.

This sudden spike in energy and power shocked Guan Yu for a moment, but his face went back to his determined expression even though it was now tainted with a distinct evil.

Finally, the spear touched the man's chest...

***

The winds howled and the skies roared with thunder and rain.

Lighting bolts lit up the dark sky white the clouds seemed to be black holes of their own, sucking in all the light and making sure not a single ray of sunlight hit the forest below.

Thousands of creatures could be seen fighting for their lives, each and every one of them roared, screeching and crying whether that would be due to pain or anger.

All of them let out distinct war cries, yet not one was as loud and sky-shaking as the roar of the beast that stood above the canopy and looked over the trees to meet the eyes of a white snake with red runes engraved occasionally throughout its scales.

While one would think that these engravings would have been a weak spot for the snake, reality begged to differ.

Every time the towering tentacled creature tried to hit the snake in those areas, it would constantly feel a scorching pain, as if the intention alone could cause it to burn and turn into ashes.

They looked at each other without blinking, the snake being moderately unharmed so far while the towering creature could be seen bleeding from several areas, blood pouring out like crimson waterfalls, while the poison inside its system had begun to take effect weakening it even further.

'I can still feel the energy, but it's not coming from this thing...' The snake thought to itself while analyzing the creature for any resemblance.

*BOOOOM*

Suddenly, they both turned their heads and looked in a certain direction.

A huge torrent of dark red energy flowed from the area and created havoc while wilting all the plants around it. Hundreds of trees could be seen aging and decomposing, every time the red energy passed through them, but what came after was the real reason why both the ginormous creatures widened their eyes in horror.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

A red and black beam of light shot through and decimated the forest before it, turning most of the trees and animals in the way into cinders while incinerating the tip of a mountain in the distance before beaming into the sky.

The behemoths weren't the only ones who looked towards the energy. In fact, every single creature that could either hear or feel the energy had looked at it, creating a ceasefire for a couple of moments, allowing everyone to understand what just happened.

Not wanting to waste any more time, the snake opened its maw and created a white ball of energy with the center of it being

The color red.

Instantly, it let out the beam of energy and shot the tentacled creature in front of it through the chest, killing it instantly and forcing it to fall back into the forest, and decimating it even more than it already has.

'I must see...' The snake dropped to the ground and blitzed through the forest as fast as possible and eventually appeared in the area where the attack had been shot.

There it saw a man shrouded in dark red energy that formed into something similar to the armors its saw some of the bipedal creatures wearing.

Looking toward its hand, it could see a spear of sorts also shrouded in the red energy and pointed towards the torsoless corpse of a Tyrannosaurus. The only things that remained of it were the legs and tail, yet even those couldn't let out blood since they were instantly cauterized by the beam.

The snake's eyes widened, not in shock this time but in fear.

It couldn't gauge the power of the thing that stood before it, but for some reason, it felt like it was looking at a titan rather than a small bipedal.

It could only watch as the figure's spear lost the red energy and turned into the dust before flying away with the winds.

"I need to leave-" It choked on its own sentence and stopped speaking mid-way.

The red energy was slowly peeling off the figure while the armor slowly uncovered itself to look like pieces of bone roped together to make some armor, yet even that turned into ashes the moment the red energy left.

This went on until eventually, the red energy had completely dissipated while leaving a strange feeling of emptiness around it.

pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ I slowly opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness in front of me. Dark crimson darkness seemed to swallow my being whole, leaving me defenseless and suspended in an area I could not even comprehend or understand.

Everything before me felt empty while I myself felt exposed.

'To think I'd still feel so vulnerable after such a long time... I guess it's a feeling you can never get used to.' I tried to smile but was immediately taken out of my trance and thrown into another world. A world of brightness? A world of sunlight?

According to my vision, everything I just said was completely wrong. In fact, the place I had been thrown to was the complete opposite. It was pretty much pitch black due to the thick clouds, the only source of light being the occasional lightning strike.

'I guess my Blood Eyes ability just ended...' I concluded and looked forward.

Simultaneously, a lightning bolt lit up the area, allowing me to see what was in front of me for a millisecond.

My eyes widened in shock when I saw red energy leave my spear and turn into dust. At the same time, the thing that caught my eyes the most was the corpse of the T-Rex that I was fighting, laying in front of me dead with everything from the waste up seemingly incinerated out of existence.

[You have killed a Prime Tyrannosaurus Ancestor]

[You have gained +3000 EXP]

'What's going on!' I tried to step back, but it was only then that I felt my body get a little lighter.

The bone armor that I had worked for weeks to craft and obtain turned into ashes before my very eyes. While yes, the chest piece and vambraces had shattered after having taken a hit, I still had the headgear and everything below, yet now it just turned into ashes without me even knowing why.

Suddenly, an intense feeling of dread overcame me and forced me to look to my right.

My eyes locked with two enormous yellow eyes with slits for pupils. Yet even though I was scared of it, I could see a deep fear within its eyes too.

It was weary of me the same way I was weary of it.

'I guess I'll be dying today after all.'
