2025-01-15 21:06:49Pharez 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 affected greatly.
"Ah..." Ezra groaned as he staggered backwards, holding his ears which had blood leaking out of them. The high-pitched sound which Pharez had just released now affected him so badly that his eardrums seemed to be bursting. At this moment he was very dizzy that he couldn't think straight, his head ringing continuously as if a large bell was implanted there.
To show how dangerous Pharez's yell was, all the animals around dropped dead immediately with blood leaking out of their ears. Some even exploded into bits of flesh which splattered across the whole place, giving it quite a gruesome sight.
"Taste my Lion Roar!" Pharez yelled again, a gust of sound waves bursting forth from his mouth onto the surroundings. Boulders were dug out of the earth and trees were uprooted as the sound waves traveled across the entire surrounding.
"Ah!" Ezra yelled as he covered his ears more than before, shutting his eyes to withstand the pain he was feeling right now. His clothes began ripping, threatening to be shredded by the sound waves. Cracks began appearing on his skin and blood began dripping out of his eyes, nose, and mouth as well.
The Lion Roar ability employed by Pharez was a very dangerous ability that he employes on enemies that he deemed very powerful. This very ability had already killed hundreds of enemies who had tried ambushing him, leaving none alive. The Lion Roar allowed him to amplify sound to any pitch he wanted, making it a very deadly attack which was capable of destroying things around him like it was doing right now. Coupled with his Qi Control which gave him explosive strength and made him to move faster than normal, he was a very dangerous foe to face.
"To be honest, you're very powerful," Pharez said. "You have abilities which give you an edge over your enemies. But today you ran out of luck and met someone like this."
With those words he leaped off the ground, dragging his broadsword behind him as he charged toward Ezra who had fallen to his knees at some point in time. Wherever he flew past, the ground would split open into a very huge crater as if an earthquake had just occurred. It was such a terrifying scenario that had never happened before, something an ordinary tier two Cultivator wouldn't have been able to achieve if not for his Qi Control ability.
I can't...let him...defeat...me...Ezra thought to himself as he struggled to stand up, summoning all the will in him despite the agonizing pain he was feeling right now. His mind immediately regained some clarity and he saw Pharez's broadsword only two meters away from his face!
Ethereal Step!
He immediately employed his ability which gave him supernatural speed, agility, and reflexes, evading the broadsword in a flash. In Pharez's eyes, he just vanished like that, leaving no trace behind.
There was an outburst of explosion as Pharez's broadsword cleaved through the ground, creating a very large crater which expanded for several meters as if a meteorite had just hit the Earth.
"Now...I'm going to show you that you're not unbeatable!" Ezra yelled as he ran towards Pharez in a flash, clenching his fists. And with all his strength he struck his opponent's face, causing the helmet to shatter instantly. His right hand was instantly reduced into mangled flesh, causing a searing pain to assault him but he didn't care at all.
The impact from the punch sent Pharez flying backward but this time he didn't fall like before and landed on the ground with a loud thud before skidding backward. Blood trickled down his mouth and he immediately raised his left hand to wipe it off.
Ezra didn't say anything as he stood facing Pharez while holding his mangled hand, panting as if all energy had been sucked from his body. Pharez on the other hand narrowed his eyes and prepared to open his mouth in order to use his Lion Roar ability.
Ethereal Step!
Ezra didn't give him any chance to do so as he appeared in front of him, collecting the broadsword from Pharez's hand before grabbing its hilt. He then moved past Pharez before turning around, and swinging his broadsword behind.
Everything happened so fast that Pharez could not even react in time. All he could see was a white light as his head came off his neck, flying up into the air. The last thing he saw was his body collapsing to the ground and then darkness.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE PAVILION CULTIVATOR WITHIN FIVE MINUTES!
MISSION REWARD: SWORD OF NIRVANA
Ezra saw the notifications on the holographic screen but he was in no mood to celebrate his victory. Instead, he fell on his knees while holding his mangled hand, his eyes fixed on Pharez's headless corpse.
"He wasn't even my enemy before now," Ezra thought within himself, a strong sense of sorrow overwhelming him. And at that very moment, his senses dulled, his consciousness fleeting rapidly.

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.

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

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.
