A red-haired humanoid with two bulges on the head and scales around its body. Projecting a draconic aura and floating mid-air looking like a young demon god wielding a sword with a supreme might.
A black-haired boy with a dark wheel floating behind him was also floating beside the draconic humanoid. His whole body giving of demonic energy.
A girl, wearing armour with fire forming rings of flame around her was also floating beside the first two, she wields a sabre.
The last addition is a boy very ordinary looking floating beside all of them, holding a spear. Behind him is a projection of a giant with the same face as he looking down on all, forming a very imposing aura.
The four youths were looking down at another youth standing on a platform.
Compared to the aura of the floating youths, the one on the platform has the aura of a mortal, but his eyes remain calm as if their coercion does not affect him.
Of course, the one on the platform is Orion Cloude, wearing a mask.
The sky was covered in stars as the star and the night sky seem to have switched roles as there were very few dark patches in the sky.
The platform also seems to stretch beyond the end of sight.
This was a spectacular setting.
Beyond the earshot of the five participants, an interesting scenario was ongoing.
[Beings from infinity and beyond...]
[The madness had just begun. Mortal Herculean challenging the projections of the Fanatic Titan, The death whisperer, the scaled and the Crimson.]
[An unknown mortal challenging the mortal projections of four supreme celestials. Crazy mortals have been popping up one after the other in six paths.]
[This might be a historical moment we'd be witnessing as only one person has challenged this much level of difficulty of the Battle emperor in recent history. I don't know the facts down but I can only remember one person who challenge supreme celestials and win in recent history.]
[And I, Huan, The stalker as your boy is bringing the commentaries and reaction to your life.]
[The countdown is starting...]
[4... 3... 2... 1...]
Suddenly, on the platform, the chains on Orion's waist transformed and appeared on his hands as two sabres with a chain connecting them.
Throwing the sabre on his left at Fanatic Titan as soon as the match starts, making it enlarge as it moved with blinding speed towards the face of the Fanatic Titan to which Fanatic Titan blocked by stabbing with his spear which proved abortive as Fanatic Titan was launched backwards by several hundred metres with knife cuts on his body.
While this was happening a sword light moved towards Orion at a very fast pace, almost as fast as he threw his sabre and Death Whisperer appeared behind silently with a dagger stabbing at Orion but was met with a fist to his face. The sword light was blocked by the sabre Orion released but still advanced to cut Orion who took the remnant attack standing.
Before he could gain his balance The Crimson was bearing down upon him with a sabre unlike normal sabre attacks threatening to blow him away with an explosive force instead of cutting at him. Orion, remaining calm started hacking with his right sabre while twirling the chain at The Scaled faraway.
The first hack split the explosive force of The Crimson.
The second hack came at the crimson who blocked it with her sabre.
The third hack did nothing to The Crimson, appearing in front of The Scaled who attempted to block it with his sword but was too slow as the sabre left a horrible scar on The Scaled chest.
The stage cleared as all participants were separated.
It was evident from the brief clash now that Orion had the upper hand.
[What an intense tryout!!!]
[Is the Mortal Herculean trying to make HISTORY here TODAY?!!]
[The tryouts have ended in his favour but the real fight will be starting now.] The commentator was shouting excitedly, beyond the ears of the participants.
[The concepts should be coming out now... ]
[OH! here they come... ... ]
Orion began levitating. After a height, he stopped, but his figure was still bobbing mid-air like a boat on the water. Unlike, the rest who seem to be standing on solid ground, he seems to be in a harmonic motion.
And it was noticed by some eyes but there was no time to think deeply into the subject.
Pulling back the chains and returning the sabre into his left hand, Orion flew at Fanatic Titan at an extremely fast speed, flanked by the other three who intend to attack him while he is occupied by Fanatic Titan.
Fanatic Titan, seemingly ready to defend, assumed a position with his spine straight and his two hands gripping the spear in a defensive posture looking like a monk with a staff. The projection behind him took the same position as Orion was already before him now stabbing downwards with the sabre that seem to have turned into a spear. Fanatic Titan replied by lifting his spear to parry the stab but would miscalculate as the stabbing spear teleported just a few meters forward leading to the miscalculation.
The spear wasn't the only thing that teleported as Orion was not behind the stab anymore, lessening its power.
STAB!! STAB!!
Two stab sounds echoed throughout the platform pausing everyone.
TF was stabbed in his chest as his wounds were spilling massive amounts of blood but to a talent of his calibre, it is a surface wound.
Death Whisperer was the other person to be stabbed and unlike Fanatic Titan his chest exploded after the stab as Orion's hands were gripping his heart which was still beating loudly. Death Whisperer's body suddenly dispersed into light motes, throughout the battle, the assassin was rendered unable to perform and Orion took care of a nagging mosquito before he gets malaria. The heart though remained in his hands as he kept it.
[WHAT????!!!!]
[NO WONDER HE COULD HANDLE SUPREME TALENTS EASILY! HE MUST BE AN HACKER!!!]
[YOU GUYS JUST WITNESSED HISTORY HERE LIVE!!]
[I'M TELLING YOU GUYS, SUPREME TALENTS ARE NOT WEAK.]
[THEY ARE SUPREMES!! IN THE NAME OF THE CELESTIALS!!]
[THIS GUY MUST BE A HACK!]
The act of Orion keeping the data of Void Heaven Tower had a far-reaching effect as the other combatants started to look alive as their energy seems to reach the absolute limit of the Mortal Realm, their injuries healing and their energy signature becoming more deadly. The projection combatants seem to have been upgraded to the limit of what the Intelligence determined to be the Mortal realm.
"KILL!!"
"DEATH!!"
The projection combatants shouted the first of which they've done throughout the match.
Teleporting towards Orion with deadly intent.
Orion doesn't seem to realize the stake got higher as he is still calm, with a wave of the spear which had somehow turned into a pen, he created many rune scripts with the effect of freezing space as he blocked the way out for projection combatants.
The projections, hacking at him from three angles with varying speed, full lethality and flawless cooperation seem to go with the intention wound his soul at the expense of suicide.
Seemingly unbothered, Orion moved his hands stabbing The Scaled as he harvests the inverse scale on his chest while taking hits from The Crimson and Fanatic Titan.
A purple drop of blood emerged from the wound on his back.
As soon as the purple blood emerged, the reality seem to freeze as everything starts disintegrating from the spot erasing the whole space rapidly as even Orion was erased as the whole reality turned into light motes.
HOWL!!!
A desolate and angry roar resounded throughout the space, this was the last thing the spectators heard before being transported back to reality.
Opening his eyes, Orion finds himself in his basement in a formation that is vaporising, all the materials turning into scrap.
Unbothered, Orion left the basement and came up to find the kittens watching a projection in the main room. Noticing the eldest entering the room, the two kittens meowed with great enthusiasm.
"hmm!"
Orion replied with a simple 'hmm' and he got in between the kittens on the chair present as they jumped on him while they continued watching the projection.
