A Sturdy Wall [C114]

Seeing the scythe, every noble felt terrified, what was that pressure that was falling on top of them? Some of them even felt stifled and forced themselves to breathe, the pressure from the scythe was quite heavy on them.

Uncaring of the nobles, staring at the two people Shu Himo frowned, one was the Nascent Soul expert… however, why was the King also deemed worthy? He was not even a Nascent Soul!

Pondering for a moment, Shu Himo realized, perhaps someone can be considered worthy even based on their authority?

'Does this mean that hunting Kings is the best way to level up the scythe to Legendary quality?'

[How did the User even reach to such a conclusion?]

'This is just logic! System, you will never reach my level when finding solutions!'

[The system doesn't want to reach the User's level at all.]

Giving a knowing smile, Shu Himo believed that the system was just envious, who wouldn't want to resolve any problem this quickly?

Deciding to focus again on the fight, a particular situation appeared.

At that moment, Shu Himo was staring at the Nascent Soul expert, while he was also staring at Shu Himo.

The atmosphere appeared to get colder, and the nobles kept shivering.

The man had a sword on his hand, seemingly ready for anything.

Looking at Shu Himo, the man felt threatened and knew that this battle would not be easy, so he decided to be serious from the start.

Suddenly, Shu Himo did something that no one would have expected: he put back the scythe in the storage.

"Wha-?" Seeing his weird behavior, the man was puzzled, why did he take back the scythe? Wasn't that just giving others a chance to attack?

Having already decided to be serious, the man wanted to abuse this chance and jump toward Shu Himo… however, he abruptly noticed something flying toward him.

Having used a stacked [Hopper_x4], Shu Himo vanished from the view of most, yet his opponent was barely able to notice him and tried to react, slashing toward him with his sword.

Shu Himo, regarding his attempt smirked, 'Being able to notice me doesn't mean being able to defend yourself!'

Rotating on himself, he suddenly took out the greatsword and abusing the centrifugal force he directly slammed it on top of the man's sword, overwhelming it and sending the man flying.

*Boom*

Crushing on the wall, the man was stupefied, while that did not hurt him, he knew that if he doesn't find a way to beat his speed he would have no way of victory!

The nobles witnessing everything appalled, does this mean that Shu Himo was stronger than the Nascent Soul expert?

Panicking, many tried to run away, but they suddenly heard a voice that felt to come from hell, "Where do you think you are going?" Turning back abruptly, the only thing that caught their attention was a child standing with a violin, seemingly ready to perform.

A moment later, the child moved slowly the bow on the violin, and while the music began to resound, everyone suddenly noticed to be in a different location.

Instead of the conference room where they were earlier, now only a seemingly infinite desert was in their sight.

"An Illusion Realm?" One of the nobles was in disbelief, why would he use an Illusion Realm?

Another noble smirked, "If it's an Illusion Realm, we have a chance at survival. If we break the Illusion Realm, he will suffer damage due to the backslash and we will be able to escape using that moment!"

Nodding to his words, many nobles focused on breaking the Illusion Realm. While they weren't Nascent Soul experts, they were still Dantian Core Formation from the 4th string to the 7th string, breaking an Illusion Realm should not be a problem at all!

Or, that was what they expected.

*Crk*

Instead of breaking the Illusion Realm, one of the nobles unexpectedly cracked in multiple pieces! The other nobles noticing him immediately knew: He was dead!

The other nobles were shocked, what happened? Does this mean that it's not possible to break this Illusion Realm? How is this possible?

Suddenly, they noticed a small dot coming closer from afar, what was that?

A couple of seconds later, they expression warped in disbelief, what was that for? The seemingly small dot revealed his aspect, exposing an enormous flying dart!

Seeing it, the nobles were confident again, when they earlier noticed that they could not escape from the Illusion Realm they were startled, however, if Shu Himo will only throw such things at them, it will be easy to resist!

"I will block that." One of the nobles prepared himself to stop the dart, revealing a cultivation stage of the 7th string!

The noble looked attentively at the dart, and he suddenly noticed that there was smoke behind it!

Seeing this peculiarity, he raised his guard and decided to defend with a magic spell.

"I order thee;

Raise for me the greatest defense;

Earth Wall!"

Suddenly, the earth generated a small earthquake, and a sturdy wall quickly raised from the ground.

Seeing the wall the noble was extremely confident, this was a magic spell he worked on most of his life, its sturdiness was incomparable to normal Earth Wall spells!

A moment later, the dart was about to hit the wall… when it suddenly curved and changed its direction, jumping the wall and proceeding toward the noble!

"WHA-"

*BOOM!*

Unexpectedly, the dart exploded, engulfing everything in a red cloud within a radius of twenty meters.

After a couple moments, the cloud gradually subsided, and the heart of the nobles trembled in fright: instead of the earlier noble that evoked the wall, remained only a charcoaled lifeless body remained.
