2025-01-12 22:35:10Ezra had never seen any attack like this in his entire life. It was very powerful and he could feel it from where he was standing. He could tell that this attack wasn't what he could stop physically at the moment. He had to dodge it or he would end up getting himself killed!
"Activate Aegis of Dissonance!" Ezra yelled as he clenched his fists before leaping in another direction, dodging the qi blade which flew past him. He watched as several trees were cut clean by the Qi blade, all of them falling to the ground with loud thuds.
AEGIS OF DISSONANCE ACTIVATED
"You're quite agile but that doesn't matter!" Pharez yelled as he raised his broadsword. "You're going to die by my sword and that's all that matters!"
At that moment a protective barrier of vibrating energy was erected around Ezra. It was invisible and no one could see it but he and Pharez could still feel the energy. This didn't cause the latter to slow down one bit as he raised his broadsword and swung it downwards.
There was an explosive sound as gusts of qi burst forth from Pharez, hitting the protective barrier. The collision resulted in the emission of shockwaves which caused the entire ground to crack as puffs of dust filled the atmosphere.
Pharez's attack had been very tremendous and would have destroyed any other barrier but this one was different. It caused his attack to be distorted, reducing its force and deflecting it back to him. In the end, he was sent flying backward as he was hit by gusts of qi.
Ezra on the other hand was panting, his feet firmly rooted in the ground. Cracks had appeared underneath his feet, and the grasses underneath him swept off at some point of time. Although Ezra was protected by the energy barrier, Pharez's attack had still made some impact and this terrified him.
Just who is this guy to be able to attack me in such a manner? Ezra thought within himself as he took a step backward, preparing to defend against the Cultivator's attack. He wasn't in a rush to go offensive because he didn't know about the other party very much. He needed to first grasp the other party's combat style before he would be able to do anything.
"That's a nice ability you've got there," Pharez said. "But it's not going to deter me!"
With those words he leaped towards Ezra, the ground shattering underneath him instantly. Raising his broadsword high up into the air, he swung his arm down at Ezra who was still within the energy barrier. The Aegis of Dissonance ability was still activated so the energy barrier was still around him.
When Pharez finally struck the energy barrier, there was a thundering sound as gusts of qi rushed out of his body. They stacked up tremendously, assaulting the energy barrier till cracks appeared all over it.
[AEGIS OF DISSONANCE HAS BEEN GREATLY WEAKENED]
What? Ezra's eyes bulged out in fear. This has never happened before so why is it happening now? My abilities have never been weakened by another party before!
Ever since he got the Echelon system he had always been using his abilities fluently against other people. No matter how he used his abilities, there had never been a time when the abilities got weakened by those he fought. This was the first time that something like this happened and it was really terrifying.
"I'm going to show you why I'm called Pharez the Conqueror!" Pharez yelled as he raised his broadsword again, bringing it down on the energy barrier.
Another thundering sound rang out and the energy barrier instantly shattered. Gusts of Qi rushed towards Ezra but he was very fast and dodged all of them, skidding backward from the collision impact of the energy barrier and gusts of Qi.
"Make this fight interesting or you're gonna die like a fool!" Pharez yelled as he ran towards Ezra, digging his broadsword into the ground.
Ezra watched as the ground was cleaved through like butter, boulders of rocks flying out of it. This kind of strength caused him to be amazed and left his jaw open. Even at his current tier, he wasn't very confident that he would be able to do what this Cultivator was doing right now.
Suddenly several boulders were sent flying towards him, jolting him out of his thoughts. This didn't cause him to panic as he easily moved around the boulders of rocks, dodging them. It was very easy for him to dodge these boulders because everything seemed to be moving very slowly around him.
"Ah!" Pharez yelled as he suddenly appeared in front of Ezra, thrusting his broadsword toward his face. "Die you scumbag!"
Even before the broadsword reached Ezra's face, he could feel a tremendous qi radiating from it. This Qi didn't feel like something from a tier two Cultivator. Instead, it felt like something coming from a master Cultivator!
Ethereal Step!
Ezra didn't even hesitate as he used another ability of his, vanishing from his spot so that the broadsword cleaved through empty air. He moved very fast that he was almost a blur, appearing behind Pharez.
"I'm not the one who's going to die!" Ezra yelled as he punched Pharez in the back, sending him flying into the air immediately.
"Ugh..." Pharez groaned as he spun through the air before crashing to the ground with a loud thud. He rolled for some seconds before coming to a stop.
"You might be stronger than me," Ezra said. "But I'm definitely faster and more skillful. There is no way you're beating me!"
Pharez slowly stood up, his right hand still gripped around the hilt of his broadsword as he glared at Ezra. He had underestimated Ezra, thinking that he was very weak because of his lack of knowledge. After being punched by the opponent before him, he came to a realization that the other party was just as strong as he was. His punch even dented his heavy armor!
"I'm now going to give in my all!" Pharez yelled. "And I hope you do the same!"
As he said this everywhere around him began shaking violently as gusts of wind built up around him. From where he was standing Ezra could feel his face being blasted by an unknown energy as he was sent skidding backwards. There was this force acting against him and it felt like it would rip his body into shreds.
"Now die!"
These were the last words he heard before the entire surrounding became torn apart.

Pharez clenched his broadsword with both of his hands as he screamed very loudly, discharging large amounts of Qi into the surroundings. The trees swayed as their branches snapped, leaves flying here and there as puffs of dust rose high into the air. All the grasses around was swept into the air, clogging up the whole atmosphere so that visibility was reduced by a very great margin.I don't know what this guy's abilities are, Ezra thought as he observed the situation. On one hand, he uses explosive strength, which can weaken my Aegis of Dissonance, and on the other hand, he can manipulate qi better than anybody I've ever fought. This is like nothing I've ever seen before. This is true power, and I'm going to give it my all if I'm to win this!"Die you scum!" Pharez yelled in such a loud voice that thundered across the atmosphere, causing everywhere to seemingly shake as if an earthquake had just occurred. The sound was amplified by a very big margin, causing Ezra to be suddenly affect

When Ezra opened his eyes, he found himself lying under a tree. His sword was lying by his side, unsheathed as if he had fallen unconscious from fighting a very fierce battle where he was. Well, this wasn't the truth of the matter but what several people would believe. And it was actually very good for him because they wouldn't get the chance to know of his secret."Ezra!" he heard Mira screaming his name very loudly and immediately stood up. He didn't know how much time had passed in the Realm of Nirvana but it was already dark. He could literally see the moon high up in the sky.I can't imagine time moves very slow in the Realm of Nirvana! Ezra thought within himself as he grabbed his sword and sheath. I mean, I was just fighting Pharez for a couple of minutes and several hours have already passed in the outside world? This is really mysterious and deserves more research...As he recollected his thoughts he strapped his sword to his side after sheathing it, moving towards the direct

Obviously, she had gotten close to the place where the Echelon system had transported Ezra.Ezra, who was still absorbed in his own thoughts, snapped back into reality after hearing Mira's voice. He immediately ran towards the direction of Mira's voice before answering, "I'm here!"Soon he met Mira who was panting as if she had just finished doing a marathon. Her entire body was drenched in sweat and her expression was very pale like someone who had just clawed her way out of the grave.For some moments both of them stood looking at each other without saying a word as if they were sculptures. As they looked at each other, different thoughts ran through their minds and they were just waiting for the right moment to act upon them.Mira was wondering where Ezra had been throughout the entire day. She was upset and wanted to yell at him for leaving her out in the open without anyone to watch over her. Worst of al

Ezra and Mira returned to the campfire after some minutes, causing the Coachman to be very surprised. This was because they had been looking for Ezra everywhere and now he had been found."Where did you go to?" the Coachman asked. "We all thought something bad had happened to you or you went somewhere far away."Although the Coachman was expressing his concern, Ezra couldn't help but frown slightly as he thought within himself, What kind of person do you see me as? But of course, he didn't say that out loud and instead managed a smile."We would have already reached a far distance now if you had not suddenly gone missing," the Coachman complained. "You got us stuck in one place and if not for your wife here I would have already left."My wife? Ezra's face turned pale when he heard the Coachman address Mira as his wife. He almost yelled that Mira wasn't his wife and was just his companion but resisted the impulse. He had to act manly even though the situation was very awkward.Mira on

This caused the both of them to be surprised, wondering if this was how every martial artist was.Mira walked toward Ezra who was seated cross legged with his eyes closed before saying, "Sorry to disturb you but it's morning already."Ezra whose eyes had been closed suddenly snapped them open in surprise as he looked around. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that it was morning already. He had just closed his eyes to meditate for some minutes only for it to be morning already. How did time manage to move so fast when he was meditating?"Good morning," Mira said again with a smile. "I can see the surprise on your face, showing that you had begun meditating a long time ago.""Morning," Ezra said as he stood up. "It was dawn when I began meditating. I didn't expect that time would move so fast.""Then you're really go

When they had first entered the village, they had thought it would be very small but they were proven wrong immediately. The village was very large, almost as large as a town with several buildings. And to make matters worse there was a large number of people going about their daily businesses. It was as if people from different walks of life had all piled up here after living their lives to the fullest."I'm already very tired and need to eat," Mira complained. "I'm not like you who can go on walking for hours without feeling hungry or tired.""It's all thanks to my system," Ezra replied immediately. "But that doesn't mean I'm a god. I can still go hungry and tired."Mira chuckled but didn't retort him. Instead, she playfully stared at him before saying, "Let's find a restaurant where we can eat. We've already run out of supplie

It didn't even take her anything to effortlessly beat all of the gang members and leave them decapitated for life.It was very shocking for them that they didn't know when they began moving towards her to thank her for saving them from the gang members. Even the restaurant owner wasn't left out as he picked himself off the ground with the help of his waitress and walked towards Mira."Thank God you're here to show these bullies their place!" one woman said with a scoff.
