10 Break out

Creison convulsed constantly. Breaking bones ravaged inside his body. They were not meant to be broken, they rarely ever were.

But they were all chopped through by Jacob.

There was a moment of silence then a burst of laughter.

"Haha, arrogance is the greatest weakness!" Elder Zachariah laughed, the Urcens were all silent at his taunts.

However, the whole stage was silent.

Elder Zachariah got no response from them and he too finally noticed the oddness of the situation.

No noise was made, the Urcens just looked at Creison solemnly and everyone else did the same, including Jacob.

Creison moved slowly as he took out a purplish-grey orb, It had beautiful swirling nebulae flowing inside it, the ball looked mysterious.

"Dimension stone!" Jacob shouted realizing what it was.

The orb broke and the harsh winds started to blow away from the arena like it was scared.

Dark clouds constantly poured out of it until it filled the sky, thunder started to clap and lightning flashed. A great distortion in space boomed.

Soon after this happened, a large man with a mermaid tail.

He was about 8 metres tall. He had large pecs that were proportionate to his large biceps. He boasted a white beard and pure white pupils. His skin was riddled with blue scales that acted as armour.

Looking at the situation, his face was stoic.

"F-father" Creison who was under his foot called out.

Jacob's immediately dropped him, He looked to the Elders and their faces were pale.

He didn't know what was happening, then the large merman in the air shouted "Get them all!".

All the Urcen experts quickly flew to the Shepherd family warriors surrounding them.

They were either tag teamed or drawn away from the crowd.

Some tried to run away, but because of how the Urcen soldiers were situated, they were all able to capture or hold off someone who tried to run away.

Jacob quickly realized why their position seemed random.

There were 5 Xiantian Experts for the Urcens, 2 were teamed against Elder Zacaria and 2 more were pressing Elder Crenen.

The other was the large merman that stayed on his cloud in the sky.

All the warriors were in battle, loud bangs made the winds protest as artefact lights were lit throughout the sky.

The fiercest fight was Elder Zachariah, he was roaring like mad as he held off 2 Urcen warriors, the battle was fierce, the pseudo legendary rank weapons in his hands made Jacob look like a child.

He was able to use its full potential.

Jacob for the first time felt fear. The large man in the sky made him feel oppressed, there was no place on this battlefield for him.

He was ready to burst into a full sprint when he saw Mo Wen block his path.

In a haste, Jacob shouted "Mo Wen! We need to leave, this was all rigged, We need to get away and hope the family comes for us."

After Jacob shouted this he was ready to run in another direction when Mo Wen stepped into his path.

"Dammit Mo Wen, We need to leave! We are all going to die, stop playing around" Jacob was annoyed.

But Mo Wen started to laugh, this made Jacob confused, their family was being ambushed and it was only a matter of them before they could be wiped out.

When that happened they were bound to die.

Jacob turned in the other direction when Mo Wen laughed "hahaha, you're scared! You don't even know what to do with yourself, you're shaking! The calm Jacob can't make sense of anything, you think running away will save you? Nothing will!"

"Stop being pessimistic! We can figure something out! They don't know where we will go" Jacob yelled, he felt Mo Wen was being too pessimistic and might have lost his mind.

"That's where you're wrong Jacob, They will always find you" Mo Wen smirked while glaring at him.

Jacob was confused as to what he meant, then Mo Wen said, "they will know because I will tell them."

Mo Wen's statement was too vague, he didn't understand what the words meant even though they were blunt, his brain was not registering it.

"Stop playing the fool, It's me! I did all this, I'm not on your side, the family means nothing to me! A family who picks favourites like you, Is nothing but scum. Even when I was supposed to be the genius of the family.

Of course, you would be stronger after they used that many resources on you.

You robbed me of my chance Jacob! You're a liar, you and your father, your deadbeat father! lied his way to becoming an elder and lied about you too. It was me who should have had all this, I was the genius!"

"hahaha", Mo Wen laughed maniacally.

He looked insane but he continued, "but no your father lied, even when my father told the patriarch I was the genius. It was me! He still nurtured you to such a degree. I was the one who had a lead on your pseudo legendary weapon, I was sent on a mission to retrieve it, I poured my blood sweat and tear into that mission and I finally retrieved the weapons from Man-Beast Forest. I was happy, not glad, I was finally able to show my strength that I was the superior genius.

Normally you think that the weapon should have been mine right? No, I was expecting it to be returned after they inspected it, but I never received anything. He paused with a smile and said ''I asked about the weapon and you know what they told me?"

Jacob was silent but he knew the answer. "You Jacob, they gave it to you after I retrieved it!".

"Mo Wen stop this nonsense, your teammates were far stronger than you, and do you expect me to turn down this kind of weapon?" Jacob pretested, he just received the weapons.

"Of course not, I figured my friend would hand it over to me, maybe he had enough decency to return it as a gift may be" Mo Wen chuckled "but no, he kept it as his own, even shunning me, over my weapon!"

"Dammit Mo Wen, Do you want this thing? You can have it! Is it worth the family?" Jacob shouted, he stuck the crystal sword in the ground. He was alert to every fight, even when they were far away in the clouds.

He didn't want a Houtian Expert to target him.
