As Akasha moved forward the 10 angels didn't sit back and wait. They took out weapons which were spears. All of them were Mythical ranked cultivators and the strongest one was a Late staged. Seeing Akasha approach the 10 of them spread out and formed a circle.
"Get into formation now!"
Seeing this Akasha didn't slow down one bit in fact he sped up and his battle technique passively activated. The moment this technique began to work Akasha felt a weird sensation and his point of view changed. Instead of looking through his eyes he now was spectating from third person.
There was nothing he couldn't see in this battle.
The aged man who was the Late-stage Mythical cultivator raised his spear and shouted.
|Battle Formation - Spear of Retribution|
As he said this the other 9 raised their spears and they all began to shine.
While this was happening, Akasha appeared in front of one of them and without even uttering a word he gripped his sword and swung it horizontally aiming directly at the angel's neck.
SHK!
In one motion he decapitated the Angel while simultaneously activating an ability.
|Tree of Protection|
WHOOSH
Above the encirclement a huge illusory tree formed, and it was right in the path of the spear that was moments from crashing down.
The massive tree and spear met head on.
BOOOM!!!!!!
Every one of the nine Angels were forced backwards and coughed up blood. Not only them Akasha himself did as well.
"COUGH! Shit that hurt worse than I anticipated."
He said before he disappeared and when he appeared he spoke once again. He was in front of an Early-Stage Angel. With one swift motion he swung his katana downward.
SLICE!
He sliced the Angel in two complete parts... and even then, he didn't stop. He moved again, but this time the Angels were prepared.
"Do it now!" The Angel exclaimed.
HUMMMM!
A Pure white light descended from what could only be described as the heavens. Akasha was immediately frozen the moment he reappeared. It wasn't because of an immense pressure or anything, but it was more like something had activated.
And he was correct. High above the 9 of them was an array that was placed within the clouds. This was the plan of the Angels the entire time. The first formation was only a prerequisite to activate their trapping array.
This array was specifically designed for intruders. After they fell under the banner of the Galactic Commission many benefits came along with it. And this was one of them.
Seeing the Akasha was trapped the Late-stage cultivator wasted no time. He gripped his spear tightly and then activated a skill.
|Dao of Spear - Eradication of All Sins|
The moment he said these words the other 8 angels also cast their own Dao powered skills.
HUMMM!
Another surge of energy flowed through the surroundings. Approaching Akasha who was currently stuck in place were spears all shining with different intensities of white light.
The one the shined the brightest was undoubtedly the one used by the Late Stage.
And then all at once they landed on Akasha
BOOOOM!!!!!!
The explosion of various skills caused a huge shockwave to flow throughout the surroundings. When the smoke cleared Akasha stood in horrible condition. His chest had wounds that openly flowed with black blood. One of his arms were missing. his katana was destroyed and only half of the blade remained.
"Cough..." Akasha coughed up a mouthful of blood as he struggled to raise his head. He looked at the Late Staged cultivator and smiled.
A smile full of black blood that smeared his pearly whites. This caused the angels to frown, but then they heard a voice.
"Haha, isn't this what you wanted to see? Why aren't you happy?"
The voice wasn't loud by any means. In fact, it was a whisper. A whisper that each and every angel heard. The Late Staged cultivator slowly turned his head, but it was too late.
SHK!
"Heh, let's finish this up now."
Akasha said as he looked at the other 7 Angels and spoke in a tone that was cold and devoid of any emotion.
|Eternal Burning Blood|
Immediately after those words the 7 Angles let out raw primal screams. But soon enough not even their screams could be heard as Akasha watched them be burned from the inside out.
Looking at the ashes float away with the wind Akasha smiled while saying.
"Who knew illusions could be so fun?"
That's right the entire scene before was a complete illusion. The moment Akasha movement was restricted his body unconsciously activated instant shift. With his vision in the third perspective, he saw everything, and he employed an illusion simultaneously when his movement skill activated.
After this was finished Akasha moved towards the Castle below and go things started while the others finished their fights.
----
Currently Raven found herself in a battle against a female Angel. They had only been fighting for about 2-3 minutes so far and Raven was merely testing the waters. Now that she had finished her little testing she grinned and created some distance.
The blood pools in her eyes began to swirl madly as she raised her hand and spoke.
|Dao of Blood - One with Blood|
After these words sounded the Angel immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
KHAK!
Though this didn't stop the blood didn't fall down to the ground below. Instead, it formed into a dagger. Without wasting any time, it attacked the Angel.
Seeing this the female Angel eyes widened and she swifty dodge out of the way. As she dodged the dagger didn't dissipate instead it kept coming. Like it was a homing missile.
This continued well over a minute or two and the Angel and accumulated numerous cuts.
*snap*
Raven snapped her finger, and the blood dagger stopped. She looked at the angel and spoke.
"You don't look too good little birdie." Her tone had a hint of mockery as she said this.
This caused the Angel to grip her spear and move forward.
|Dao of Spear - Sweep of Retribution|
WHOOSH!
HUMM!
As she swung her spear that began to shine with a bright light the air whistled from the sheer force the spear carried.
Seeing this Raven smirked even more and allowed the spear to land.
BOOOOM!
A huge explosion occurred and from it was nothing but a mist of blood. In the air where Raven stood was nothing but dark red blood.
The blood began to dissipate after a few moments and then the Angel heard a voice from inside her head.
"So, this is what angel feels like, huh?
The same mocking voice of the devilish beauty from before!
Yes, Raven was currently inside the body of the Angel!
