Two Pitiful People.

"Gold is bland, to be honest."

Crackling his fists, Su Min sighed as he stared ahead. His eyes glistened with a primal gold, pinpointed the fading aura of the dead tattooed man, so he, with a leap, darted toward such a location.

*SHHH*

The surroundings, as if he had teleported, blurred at a surreal motion as within a literal split second he appeared before such a corpse. The unwilling eyes and strange circled symbol displayed itself on the dirt floor.

"Hm..."

Su Min found that a sliver of the corpses aura strung before him, leading towards the north, or behind the corpse. It was like he had caught the scent of the man, and could now follow the tracks of where he had been.

"Guess I'll follow this."

Making up his mind, Su Min once again trod on the ground with a muffled boom and whistled off into the distance. A visible sonic boom shuddered around him as a piercing line cut the forest.

...

...

Two males, covered head to toe in what seemed like tattoos of prehistoric creatures stood atop a stone gate. The gate, towering so high that it pierced the clouds, seemed to exude a majestic presence and a pressuring atmosphere.

The two beings sighed as they, with a language that felt ancient and inconceivable, spoke to each other.

"You heard, the juniors have been sent out to hunt some beasts."

"Hm? Where?"

"The south forest. It seems that it has become quite lively in the last couple of years. Tribes left and right keep starting camp, so we, of course, have to exterminate them."

"Mhm. There are way too many of those pests..."

However, just as they were speaking, an infitisimal boom reverberated far in the horizon.

"Hm? Hey, you hear something?"

"Aye. Start the defensive measures, must be some madman."

Not even panicking, the two looked with attention toward the horizon. A shimmering glow erupted from their foreheads, where 3 circles shone!

"Mhm, notified the engineers."

"Sure, though this one may be a little troublesome."

Speaking with a strange formality, the two frowned as that distant boom become a thundering echo that blasted an ear-splitting sound wave far, far in the distance...

"This being must have a considerable battle prowess, get prepared."

"Mhm."

*BANG*

Emerging from a peaked horizon, a sundering shockwave swelled as it swept and continued to pursue a trail that travelled for hundreds of miles.

"Gold?"

The two became perplexed as they saw a faint gold shroud the shockwaves, in fact, the sky had shifted a faint golden above the looming figure, although it spread for only a couple of meters.

"A race that uses the ancient energy? Never thought I'd see one in the heaven's region..."

*BOOOOM*

Just after that mumble, the figure at a hair-raising speed transformed from a dot into a figure draped in black. He was only a couple meters away from such a massive wall, and, he felt like an ant.

"Ah. I found it."

Gazing, Su Min found it hard to imagine how such a structure was constructed. It reached right into the heavens, and with its pure white stone and majestic atmosphere, it made him truly feel tiny.

"How on earth do I get passed this thing."

Su Min mumbled as he leapt toward it, however, just as he got halfway there, a white cone of energy materialised right in front of him.

"Uh.?"

*BANG*

Although he wasn't going at a speed that he considered 'fast', a dull crash smacked as, with a sudden thud, he thrashed right into the white barrier. He rebounded back a couple meters, where, with a crystalline shimmer, the barrier dissipated into nothingness.

"This is going to be difficult."

Still not wanting to give up, Su Min's eyes glistened with something inconceivable as his chest which circled with one figure thumped.

The sky seemed to darken as his fists crackled, and with a stream of ancient strands counting in the hundreds, a mighty glow lit up the sky for hundreds of meters.

"Take my fist!"

Throwing his fist back, Su Min glared at the air as his grip, reifying with a gold, threw itself outwards. The punch, as if it had enveloped the world, forced a shadow to loom and tremble over the entire ground for kilometres.

*SHIIIING*

Not even caring, the same white wall emerged from space it expanded and thickened. Though, Su Min's gaze shone with a resoluteness as he swivelled his chest and propelled his fist right into it!

*BANNNNNGGGGGGG*

Enveloping the world and everything in such a world, a crazed force entered the white barrier as a shockwave so massive that it defied description thundered around Su Min.

*CRACK*

Trembling, the barrier loosened as Su Min's fist dug into it without reserve! Though, even as he continued, the barrier continued to thicken with him.

"Hmph."

Grumbling, Su Min's eyes glistened as an arrogance that drenched his very bones erupted out of him. A wall dared to stop him? Hah?

*SHEWWWW*

His chest, thumping without a care, sucked in an unending stream of golden energy as Su Min's fist that was starting to slow glimmering with a newfound strength!

*BANG*

Flying with a momentum that surpassed its previous record, and with a startling tremor, Su Min's arm constricted as its golden muscles and bone finally seemed to become semi strained. Though, this wasn't its limit yet. Nowhere near.

*SHATTER*

Nevertheless, a punch containing at least a thousand strands of ancient energy seemed too much for such a barrier to handle. So, with a crack that echoed with despair, its white light split apart as it lost any sense of conformity.

"Now. I can finally get to the wall."

Watching the light dissipate, Su Min lowered his arm and smiled. What amazing power!

'I used at least 1000 strands of energy there, yet I don't feel any fatigue! A barrier that enveloped the sky was destroyed by me, haha!"

Getting overwhelmed in an emotion that was addicting, Su Min blurred with a dense sonic boom as he appeared before the stone wall that seemed to hold the sky.

"Maybe jumping up?"

Feeling the smooth surface of the wall, Su Min pondered as he looked at it. Its size was so colossal that he assumed that it would be troublesome to destroy such a structure, although he didn't really know whether he could even destroy it.

"Die."

However, just as he was going to try to do such a thing, two simultaneous voices echoed in his mind as a pair of black figures emerged from behind him. A visible killing intent pierced right onto Su Min's back, fluttering as a faint wind sprung onto his back.

The two figures were right next to Su Min as if they had been waiting in ambush. They held two razor-sharp daggers, and being within a couple centimetres from Su Min, were already in the process of stabbing him.

Except...

"Did you really think that I didn't see you?"

*GRAB*

Su Min, with a mocking gaze, grabbed the two daggers that aimed right for his neck and laughed. His eyes shone with an ancient glare; as if it could see through the world.

"What?!"

The two figures gasped as they, with a sudden jump, let go of the daggers and leapt backwards.

"Oh? Three circles? I guess I have still got a way to go..."

Eyeing the figures Su Min muttered. He needed to reference his strength, as he wants to know where he is in the food chain at least...

"Intruder! Please surrender."

"If you don't, then even if we die, reinforcements will arrive."

Both, speaking, stared at the strange being in front of them. For some reason, whenever they looked at Su Min's chest, they felt an inexplicable terror rise in their hearts...

"Hm... Can I just visit-... Uh, who are you people even called?"

Scratching his head, Su Min didn't seem to care as he ignored the threat. The two 's expression changed as they frowned, not believing that he could be that ignorant.

"So you choose to fight?"

"No. I just want information..."

"Stop mocking us!"

Becoming incensed, the two roared. Su Min grumbled in return, not knowing what to say.

"Mhm, I'll just kill you two then. Not like I'm scared of death or anything..."

Sighing, Su Min reminisced as he, with a simple move of palm, punched out in front of the two. He didn't suck up any golden energy, no, he was trying out the law his body has control over.

*PSSST*

"What?!"

The two felt their hearts jump as an unknown danger tricked on them. They, jumping, fled on a reflex.

However, they were only a meter away from Su Min, and Su Min, opening his palm, grasped the air with a grin.

*WOOSH*

Like the world had turned on them, the two felt an impenetrable might swallow their everything without mercy. Before they could even try to avoid it, this might magnified one hundred fold as a solidified crack spewed in the air.

*CRACK*

"GUH!"

A golden energy, embracing them, arose from oblivion and wrapped itself around them in the shape of a cacoon. Though, without remorse, this cacoon constricted till a pitiful wail shrieked within.

*SSSHHHHH* "GAHHH!"

Waiting a while, Su Min opened up his palm and dispersed the golden energy.

"Damn."

Two corpses that were beyond recognition collapsed onto the ground with a thud. Su Min, feeling a slight strain on his mind, felt that this law was a lot more powerful than he had thought. Although it had a limited space.

Kicking the corpses with a dazed expression, Su Min stared at the wall high in the sky.

"Guess I can jump up now."
