The battle… slaughter raged on. 5th ranks drumming along on the Dragon War Drums. Constantly sending out attacks utilizing the power of my Lightning Sphere. 7th ranks were out traversing the battlefield killing the Feudal Lords. And I floated there… struggling to hold on.
"Leiji! Take it down. I'll call them back and you can rest. The situation has relaxed significantly." Feng Ying called out, noticing my condition was beginning to get difficult.
"I'm fine mother! Rather, I feel like I am on the cusp of something…" I said, with a smirk.
"You better be fine! Come down as soon as you can't handle it. Your father won't be disappointed in the slightest." Feng Ying said, unable to force me to listen after she heard my words. So she could only demand this.
"Rest assured, mother. I won't do what I know I can't." I said. "But now… I may look like I am struggling but it's fine. It's an act to keep the Ink Clan here." I whispered.
"In that case give it your all and kill as many of the ink clan that you can." Feng Ying said, gripping her sword tighter.
"Heh heh… Just a moment… and the sky will unleash its wrath. The Ink Clan are unwelcome invaders. And the heavens themselves are about to show everyone just how much. Though I will have to ask my mother to take action once it's over… I'm not sure just how draining this will actually be." I whispered to Feng Ying and Bai Yi both.
"Act with reassurance, I'm not letting anyone touch my baby." Bai Yi smiled.
"Good! It looks like most of the Feudal Lords have been culled. Only about 50 remain. Daybreak's defenses can handle that. So it's time to give the other Ink Clan below that realm a piece of my mind. A taste of my progress…" I said with a smile that could kill the enemy, or at least fill them with an overwhelming sense of dread.
"AH! RUN AWAY! THE LIGHTNING BOY… AHHHH Blrug." A high rank ink clan said, suffering as he died towards the end.
In that next moment the sound of true Dragon's Roar filled the battlefield. Drawing out all other sounds, with a mighty loud and long rumble. Lightning Crashed. Thunder? Couldn't be heard…
"What the hell! Why is there Lightning Crashing with no thunder clapping? Could… Could it be… THAT DRAGON ROAR IS THE THUNDER!" A Feudal Lord thought… shaking in his boots.
Once the roar seemingly subsided…The roar picked up again… Summoning winds unlike any other before. The Universe World shook under the immense pressure differences. Lightning continued to crash with violent intensity and ferocity. Claiming Ink Clan clansmen by the dozen. It was a time of… Chaos… among the ranks of the Ink Clan's army.
"The Heavens do not welcome your Ink Clan! Now face the wrath of the heavens! HEAVENLY CHAOS LIGHTNING!" I announced to the whole of the battlefield.
The damage that had been done prior… that was simply just a precursor to what was to come. The frequency of the Lightning and intensity of the Wind combined with the soul shattering Dragon's Roar… The battlefield was thrown into a state of absolute chaos. The 5th ranks who had been outside of the ship had retreated and the drums returned.
Every strike of Lightning seemed to be different from the next. Like it was building up to something. It wasn't a crazy difference and didn't last long. But there were three very distinct paths being taken. Some bolts were slowly turning a golden color and some were turning a deep purple. The remaining bolts remained a silvery blue color. However, they all increased in strength in some fashion.
The silverish blue bolts would arc to more enemies over progressively more vast distances. The Golden bolts were blindingly bright and fast. The purple bolts were powerful. Commonly killing higher end high rank Ink Clan with little issue. Thus providing a perfect bolt for the right situation. With this widespread attack arcing all over the battlefield… The Territory Lords took notice quickly.
"What the fuck! What kind of devious plot did you humans come up with!" Vengeful Claw yelled, attempting to strike at Ding Yao.
"It must be that boy! The one that Slicing Claw was so interested in! Brother Vengeful… You know what we have to do." Rendering Claw Territory Lord said, also attacking Ding Yao.
"If you're thinking of leaving… DON'T!" Ding Yao said, grabbing the two Territory Lords by the leg. With a quick spin Ding Yao threw them into the Universe World with such force that on the other side of the Universe World a couple of large chunks were broken off and flung into the void. "Damn! I didn't think that little bit of information Leiji gave me would be this much of an increase in power. I'm certain that this would go a long way to end the reliance on luck and happenstance of one's strength. I feel I could train even a direct fourth rank aptitude to be a direct 5th or even 6th rank aptitude." Ding Yao thought with a smile. "The Future looks bright for the human race." He smiled and flew into the super massive crater to finish the job.
A few breaths later… "Alright, time to go deal with that brat even if Ding Yao is an 8th rank. He is still an idiot. That boy must die today. His existence spells disaster for my Ink Clan." Rendering Claw said, crawling out of the crater sneakily. "With the people who are targeting the Feudal Lords nowhere near here… my plan is perfect. I'll sneak in at peak high rank. With my power the lightning won't do much and then I'll… No matter what, this will be interesting." He thought condensing and further hiding his strength.
Once Rendering Claw was done hiding his strength he rushed into the storm. With one goal in mind. That was to kill the brat causing all this mayhem.
"Father, something is off… There is a High rank ink clan that is withstanding my Purple Lightning bolts and steadily moving closer." I said, sensing something was off.
"How many have hit him so far? More than 5?" Yang Kai asked.
"7 have struck him so far." I whispered back.
"Keep hitting him. It's probably a Territory Lord hiding his strength. I'll make my way over as soon as I can. But be prepared to teleport if need be." Yang Kai whispered back.
