Han Yi walked out of the rubble unscathed his expression was flat as he spat out some blood. In front of him, the white mist was constantly seething inside of it were the silhouettes of three different people.
Han Yi raised his palm and gathered lightning energies into it shooting out a lightning bolt. The bolt slashed through the mist and suddenly there was a deafening boom. The mist parted slightly revealing a white-haired young man wielding a moonlight sword.
"To think even you would betray me, Maven." Han Yi growled with anger as he stared down Maven.
"I only joined your kingdom to gain resources. I never swore allegiance to you." Maven said coyly with a playful smile.
"Do you think this infighting will get us anywhere? Illathar is coming soon we'll be killed." Han Yi said warily.
"That damn beast will be too late especially now that I have backup..." Maven chuckled sinisterly as the mist parted again from it emerged a young man in black robes with eyes darker than an abyss. His every step gathered cold auras all around him.
"To think you were working with him too." Han Yi said with furrowed brows and gritted teeth.
"Hehe, what do you mean working together?!?" Maven chuckled as the mist parted again and from it emerged a seductive woman dressed in a strapless black evening gown.
"You...mind control?!? Who are you?" Han Yi said with a horrified tone.
"You'll just have to see." Maven said sinisterly as Ye Yuyan jumped forward, the cold auras around him condensed along his hand becoming two beasts like claws. He slashed down at Han Yi who formed a lightning sword with one hand, and slashed away the cold auras.
With a swift motion, he stabbed forward towards Ye Yuyan's abdomen. Ye Yuyan tried to regather the dispelled cold auras but it was too late. Han Yi stabbed out and then there was a clacking sound.
The lightning sword was stabbing a snowflake along Ye Yuyan's black robe it crackled but was unable to stab through. The cold auras at that moment gathered back to Ye Yuyan who grabbed them with one hand.
The energies condensed in one palm and he blasted it at Han Yi. Han Yi firmly gripped the hilt of his lightning sword and raised it to guard. The cold auras spread quickly as Han Yi flew back a few meters, everywhere the aura past froze entirely.
Han Yi backflipped in the air and stabbed his lightning sword into the ground, the remnant cold auras brushed past him. He looked up at Nesilia who was holding a chalice in her hand then looked down at the ground. He suddenly backflipped again leaving the lightning sword behind.
The ground started to rumble and from it emerged a seething white aura with agonizing faces emerged. The faces howled in pain as the destroyed everything in their path.
Han Yi stabilized himself and looked at the sleeve of his clothes and noticed ice slowly gathering on it. His expression turned flat and a spark flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly his entire body became ignited with lightning, everything from his toes to his hair was crackling intensely. In his eyes flashed the image of a thunder dragon with red beady eyes.
Suddenly a roar came from inside Han Yi's body. The sound reverberated through the valley making the very air tremble. Maven's mist, Ye Yuyan cold auras, and Nesilia divining clouds were completely dispelled leaving no trace.
"So you do have a Thunder Dragon Physique..." Maven said with a gleeful expression.
"That'll make this much easier." He laughed and raised his sword around him gathered intense sword forces. The metallic sword forces drifted around uncommanded until he raised his moonlight sword he roared into the sky.
"By the rights of power, I call to you Illusory Sword!" The sword forces stirred intensely as sword marks appeared along the valley walls and ground.
Then the seething sword forces gathered as one right above. The sword forces rippled as they phased in and out of existence and transformed into a replica of the moonlight sword.
In flew down and fused with the moonlight sword, the sword looked as though it was both there and not at the same time. Han Yi's eyes focused on the sword closely and he clenched his fists.
"A sword totem...you've hidden quite a lot from me." Han Yi said coldly his emotionless eyes left a bad taste in Maven's mouth.
"It's nothing compared to you." Maven said sinisterly and he stomped down on the ground and suddenly he was in front of the prince slashing down.
Han Yi didn't flinch and raised his right palm up and lastly tapped Maven with his pointer finger. Suddenly the whole valley became lit up with blue light as Maven was completely obliterated by a beam of lightning.
Han Yi turned his gaze towards where Maven originally was, there he stood with a devious smirk and a moonlight sword.
"You're going to have to do better than that, your highness." Maven's satirical voice echoed as Han Yi shot out another lightning beam.
"Damn traitor." Han Yi growled and shot another beam behind, then he turned above him and shot Maven who was jumping. Both Mavens turned into nothingness, and then another appeared.
Han Yi turned in front of him and killed another Maven slowly more and more appeared all around him. Han Yi scrambled to strike the Mavens until suddenly he was surrounded by Mavens. Each of them was holding a moonlight sword in their right hands.
"Do you think some weak clones can defeat me?" Han Yi said angrily his voice seemed like a roar as a dragon silhouette appeared behind him.
His angry roar seemed to multiply as the dragon roared behind him. Lightning exploded out completely engulfing the world the currents rose faster and faster filling every crevice.
"You damn traitors, die!" Han Yi's voice faintly echoed as the lightning turned into a massive dome each bolt of lightning arched across destroying every in its path.
Hundreds of Maven's started to disintegrate at a very rapid rate, in every direction were the pained shouts of Mavens.
"Arrghh." A Maven roared out but this one didn't disappear. Instead, its lower body became charred up as the lightning bolts turned into horned serpents that coiled around it. The arcs of lightning seemed gentler than the rest as it trapped this Maven.
Han Yi calmly walked across the thunder laden land with the lightning still seething around him. He was like a sovereign king touring his domain with all the lightning completely subservient to him.
Maven's eyes became increasingly filled with fear from each of Han Yi's steps. Then finally Han Yi stood in front of him a glint of malevolence flitted in his gaze.
"Did you think this little rebellion would work weakling?" Han Yi with his hands behind his back, the very symbol of domineering! He gestured for the serpent to coil away from his mouth freeing Maven a bit.
"Oh your highness, you are far too young." Maven said with no fear in his eyes and a faint smirk. Han Yi felt a premonition and the suddenly Maven dissipated into nothingness. Around Han Yi, the lightning world started to collapse inside of itself.
The lightning serpents struggled as the exploded becoming disorganized lightning bolts that crashed into the ground.
The remaining lightning arched toward the edge of the world. There stood Ye Yuyan with a dull expression in his hands was a black scroll with a 9 colored lightning symbol and next to him was Maven standing there with a cold smile.
"You..." Han Yi tried to say but suddenly his body fell and the thunder dragon behind him disappeared.
"You are far too naive, Han Yi." Maven as he shook his head, Ye Yuyan shook the scroll and the lightning was consumed at an even faster rate. In moments the entire current was completely absorbed and Ye Yuyan furled the scroll.
"Now why don't we take a look at Heaven's Realm?" Maven said with eyes that burned with ambition, Ye Yuyan followed his command and swung the scroll into the sky.
The black scroll stopped mid-air and started rotating at a faster and faster rate. Black clouds started to gather in the sky and Maven kept a gleeful gaze on the black scroll.
'Almost there!' His heart yelled out gleefully, he raised his moonlight sword and stabbed it toward the scroll when suddenly a frost beam flew out from deeper in the valley. The energy beam slammed away Maven, his sword, and even Ye Yuyan.
"Who the hell is there?!?" Maven roared towards a shadowy crevice of the valley. Suddenly two glowing white eyes opened and the bloodthirsty eyes landed on Maven.
From the crevice a 50-meter blue furred beast walked out around its nose was a large ring and on its fur were icicles. Its every breath emitted intense frost energies that froze everything around him.
"Illathar..." Maven said dumbfounded as he was being stared down by the beast.
