Quitter

Islan began using his self created movement art [Zephyr Steps] making him not visible to anyone below martial master level. He quickly stops in front of the massive energy hearing hysterical laughing that sent which sent a bone chilling feeling down his spine. The energy was so thick and viscous he couldn't see the one behind it and could only barely make a figure by sensing the flow of energy.

'Is the gap between a supreme peak martial master and a beyond zenith that big?' Islan bitterly thought.

As someone who is a supreme peak he knows very well that even the difference between a martial master and a supreme peak is nowhere near this big. Islan suddenly felt an immeasurable wall that he couldn't scale directly in front of him and was entirely frozen. He didn't make a move but not did the enemy and all that could be heard was silence. You'd expect the masters of the three alliances to appear but it seems the energy was too strong for them to pass.

"Hey, you're not gonna make the first move? So boring... Your expression hasn't even changed up until now, what are you, a rock? Welp, let's start this show. " The person speaking was clearly having fun with this situation.

The person began to stop releasing their energy and what was revealed was a young girl. By young I don't mean in the age of 20-40, she was really young, no older than 13. She had red hair that reached all the way down to the ground and vertical red eyes like dragons of legends, her face was like that of a child actor and if it wasn't for the current situation you could say she's cute. At that moment one thought came to islans mind.

'Body rejuvenation'

He thought, otherwise there isn't a logical explanation for this situation, even with Islans and Hans talent reaching such a level at 13 was impossible but more importantly her bloodlust was not that of a child.

SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!

As the energy was now suppressed all the masters of the alliance now appeared in large numbers. They all looked at Islan and the small girl who seemed to be having a stare down at each other but they instantly knew the energy was coming from the girl, they weren't incompetent after all.

'Tell them! TELL THEM TO RUN GOD DAMNIT!'

Islan screamed at himself but no matter how he tried no words came out of his mouth. He simply looked away in shame not knowing what to do.

"Young man get out of here, that's a body rejuvenation master we may not even be able to deal with this. " It was Seol-Ah, one of the murim alliance elders. She had also gone through body rejuvenation and looks like a regular 20 year old women despite being over 80 this year.

"Ah-.... Ah..." Islan tried to struggle his words out but still nothing, his head and the world began spinning. He avoided everyones gazes and looked at the ground.

"Hey~ if you won't start this old lady will~" The young girl said cheerfully in a cutesy voice.

Islan shuddered as he quickly shut his eyes as he awaited his own demise, however nothing came to him. 10 seconds, a minute, now five had passed, Islan being confused opened his eyes to see Seol-Ah's brutally decimated on the floor infrot of him, he instantly wanted to vommit after seeing this but he had no time. As he started turning his head rapidly

'No, please don't tell me-'

Islans thoughts came true, all the masters of the alliance were dead, entirely annihilated with even getting the chance to make a sound. Islan tried to calm himself down by closing his eyes and controlling his breathing but he couldn't then he opened his eyes.

"Hey. Why aren't you fighting? it's boring and I don't like being bored" the young girl appeared right in front of him with a a terrifying voice whilst releasing all her bloodlust.

Those words shook islan right down to his very core. At this moment all the instincts in Islans body only told him one thing.

'Run. That thing is not human.'

Islan uses [Zephyrs Steps] a goes as far away as possible in a direction with no citizens, his self hypnosis working to not put anyone in danger despite him still feeling fear. However he instantly felt bloodlust behind his back.

'I'm going to die. '

That's all he could think as he tries quickly turning around to see the girls terrifying image as she holds a lance in her hand that's nearly double her size.

"Let's start the game~. [Heaven Piercer]." She says ominously.

Islan lands on a building nearby quickly as the girl instantly appears near him with the lance near his heart as she says those words, she had her left foot forward as sinister energy engulfed her lance she thrusted it upwards with her feet firmly stook to the ground with her inner energy. Islan spins round kicking the girl in the side, launching her through many buildings, the shockwave generated could be felt from mile away. At this moment through all the fear Islan felt some ecstasy as a smile appeared on his face.

'If I keep going, maybe I can win.'

Islan jumped towards the girl with extreme speeds, she attempts to use the same attack but Islan at this point was on a rush spiraling round the girls attack like a dancer and gaining momentum. He grabs the girl by her neck and disarms her lance slamming her into the ground as quickly as possible.

"I CAN WIN! I CAN WIN!"

Islans thoughts came out of his mouth at this point as all fears escaped with it. He begins pummeling the girl with all his might as he tries to keep dominance over her with all his might, not sparing his inner energy.

After a few minutes of pummeling Islan he stopped moving his bloodied and scraped hands and began panting hard. He takes some supplements to regain his inner energy but then the voice appeared again.

"Hey~ you're really getting into it now! young'uns really have some energy to them! Let's start for real now!" The bloodied and beaten body what seemed to be a corpse started talking.

The disfigured started to get reshaped as it took the form of a now regular girl as before, there was no changes in her body and even her clothes were the same, if anything she looked better than before as she no longer had blood on her. Islan had to blink to make sure and by the time he did her lance appeared back in her hand again. Islan was less scared now.

"I beat you once and I'll do it again." islan had regained his composure from earlier. Getting into a fighting stance.

"Ohohoho~ Really I do love the excited ones" She drags the obscenely large lance across the ground.

"I won't miss a third time."

Han was running with Ailyn over his shoulder. He quickly found her as he already had his families innate qi signal memorised. Ailyn was constantly struggling to get Han to put her down but with his martial prowess it was to no avail.

"HEY! PUT ME DOWN! OR AT LEAST EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING! Ah-... FUCK! SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THIS STRONG?" Ailyn began screaming at the top her lungs, kicking and screaming the entire way.

Han remained silent as he was to mentally exhausted to deal with any of this anymore. At this point he didn't even care whether he died. In this moment regret ensued and all he could think about was apologizing to Islan for what he had said earlier.

'Yeah. Even if we die I want to apologize first...'

Han thought. He quickly reached his parents as he dropped Ailyn off with them. they were already pretty far from the city and it would be decentlt hard to find them. His mother was clinging onto him desperately and all that Han could do is smile bitterly.

"Hey... Um- Can someone explain what going on? I want to know... " Ailyn said quietly and meekly compared to her usual tone. She could tell this was was serious.

"Get in the car, I'll explain on the way. " Rex at this point looked like he had seen all the horrors the world had seen, he begins to push Esther into the back off the car forcefully and closes the door and locks it.

"I know it might not mean much but I love you and your mother does as well. Tell Islan we love him as well. Oh yeah- Ailyn, any last words for your brother?" Rex said while scratching his head he then proceeds to hug han.

Ailyn, still confused but kind of understood the severity of the situation as she had to bear witness mothers desperation which left a gut wrenching feeling.

"Um- I don't know what's happening but... I know you and Islan will be fine. Also tell that asshole Islan to come say bye himself if he's going to leave. I love you." Ailyn also gently hugged her brother, stroking his head.

The three all now in the car were about to leave but as they about to Rex rolled down the window.

"Hey- this might be wrong for me to say considering I'm literally a useless piece of shit father but... It's okay to be scared y'know" Rex said not as a father, but as a person to person.

"I'm not-" Han tried to get in but was cut off.

"You're shaking, Han." Rex said slightly angry.

Han, confused looked down at his hands to realise his father was right. He was completely trembling with no calmness to be found within.

'Huh?'

After realising this his entire body started trembling all out. He couldn't say anything to his father anymore.

"Han, just know I'll always love you and... " Rex put his head back and put on his seat belt, ready to drive

"I'm sorry. " Rex said in a shaking voice.

Rex began driving away with tears filling his eyes like the dam had broken, no longer having the courage to look back at Han he just continued driving forward in the night.

10 minutes later

Han at that moment collapsed, tears streaming down his face as well. He knew he needed to go help Islan but his body wouldn't move. The words his dad said at the end hurt him, more than he could ever imagine.

'I'm sorry'

Han knew it was unreasonable; stupid; dumb; idiotc. What could his father, a third rate martial artist do in this situation? He knew there was nothing he could do but...

'Those aren't the words I wanted to hear.'
