despair

Dawn and his team were surrounded by people in green armour from all directions, his expression darkened because he wasn't able to gauge their cultivation.

Dawn looked toward his teammates, they too had grim expressions on their faces. Dawn looked in the direction of their enemies, they were all above body refining rank 5. Dawn didn't understand why they decided to attack his group first, maybe he was just unlucky today.

Loud booming sounds came from the sky occasionally, and lightning flashed illuminating the face of the man with green hair, he had a smirk on his face, and looking at the group of body refining cultivators, he muttered playfully, "A bunch of weaklings".

The guy with green hair wanted to finish the Dawn group quickly and move toward the next group, he wanted to gather as much merit as possible from this single mission, after all, it wasn't every day when they were assigned such a simple mission. He looked behind him and ordered one of his men to quickly get rid of them.

A man with a lecherous smile came forward and started moving toward the girls with unkind eyes.

Ajanta turned furious looking at the man's behaviour and shouted while gritting his teeth," You bastard, how dare you look at my sister like this" After shouting he rushed toward the men but Ellora stopped him with a tight slap slap across his cheek while saying, "you dumb idiot," she looked deep in his eyes and spoke"calm down for a min".

The guy with a lecherous smile didn't take Ajanta's words kindly, his face twisted in a hideous way and he thought," How dare this lowlife shout at him like this. The guy with a lecherous smile grinned madly, he disappeared from the eyes of dawn and his group, and when they were able to see him again he was in front of Ajanta in the blink of an eye.

He went on to punch Ajanta in the stomach, and the force of the punch made him bend at such an angle that he could touch his legs with his hands, his ribs fractured instantly, and he was blasted from the place where he was standing, Ajanta flew in mid-air like a kite, he crashed several times on the ground before stopping with blood flowing out of his mouth.

"Brother" Ellora roared at the top of her lungs and rushed toward her brother. She hurriedly took a pill out of somewhere and fed it to her brother. The snow beneath Ajanta turned red, his face devoid of any colour, and his hands were twisted at weird angles.

Dawn looked at this scene in disbelief although he knew the cultivators of body refining stage 5 were powerful, but he didn't know to this extent.

The pill seems to work as the colour starts returning to Ajanta's face and his condition starts improving at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Ellora got up from her sitting position and spoke in a cold voice that sent chills down the man's spine.

The man was furious how dare this weakling make him fear his turned into anger.

Ellora aimed her right hand at the man and emptied all the spell stores in there at the man,

Appearing completely insane, six fireballs shot out of her hand going for the different body parts of the man, who dodged them effortlessly.

The man lecherous smile on his face spoke in a voice filled with mockery " Is that it, that what you are capable of doing, throwing a tantrum like a child, a grown ass adult throwing tantrum, pathetic, the guy with lecherous eyes provoked Ellora even though he had all the advantages in the fight he was still trying to fuck her mental state.

"Guys use your shots to distract him I will finish him" Ellora spoke in a calm voice, unlike her earlier display of raw emotions.

Dawn thought for a moment and compiled with her words he had decided to expose a little bit of his

talent, if his life was on the line.

All of this happened in a single moment, Dawn jumped sideways toward cover and fired the shots, aiming at the vitals of the lecherous guy, Dawn was followed by Nemo and Lucy, the guy was able to dodge a barrage of shots fired toward him with only one managing to brush past his face, his movements were precise as if preprogrammed robot, who knew the exact location from where the fireball will come.

The guy looked toward Dawn and others, Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak his pupils constricted in horror, he brought his hands in front of his face in an attempt to block the incoming attack but his reaction wasn't fast enough a Lance made of ice entered his mouth, exiting from the back of his head, killing him instantly on the spot.

His eyes were filled with shock and unwillingness, he didn't even know how he died.

Dawn too didn't understand at first where did Lance appeared, but when he looked toward Ellora he understood everything, How could he forget he wasn't the only one with a talent in this world?

The guy with green hair couldn't understand how these weaklings killed the lecherous guy. One moment he was mocking them and the other he turned into a corpse, "How dare you kill my man," he shouted.

The guy ordered the rest of his men to go all out and show no mercy. He ran toward Ellora the guy with green hair was at body refining rank 7 he needed to be just more careful of that weird

power.

The rest of his men surrounded Dawn and the other two, Nemo had a resolute look on his face with a fighting spirit burning in his eyes, but Lucy didn't show any expression on his face.

Ellora looked toward the guy with green hair and thought "I have to go all out then only I stand a chance" Her thought racing at lightning speed, she activated the second ability of her talent, and a phantom image of a beautiful snake appeared behind her, filled with grace and majesty, it's eyes filled with disdain as he looked toward the guy with green hair with its serpentlian eyes.

Ellora's body started transforming, her pupils turned vertically changing into a shade of red matching the snake behind her, and tattoos started appearing on her body covering her from head to toe, She took a deep breath and stepped forward vanishing from the spot.

The guy with green hair realised something. A shield appeared in front of him, to protect him from the incoming attack but he was a bit slow. Ellora appeared in front of him like a ghost from hell, She threw a punch at his head, and the head of the guy with green hair blasted into pieces splattering brain juice in his surroundings and red blood scattered all around them with a loud thud the corpse of the man fell to the ground.

Ellora was bleeding from her nose and other orifices. The backlash of this move was great; her body wasn't able to bear all the pressure. The world started blurring in front of her eyes, breathing heavily she threw a pill in her mouth and fainted falling into the snow peacefully.

The guys from the GrandLake empire couldn't believe it, not only their comrade was killed now their captain was also murdered in cold blood.

"Talent holder", they all thought in their head only a talent holder could jump the minor realms, they looked at Ellora fearfully.

Nemo's eyes were filled with wrath seeing the state of his two comrades in such a state. She was willing to fight for him, Nemo thought, his mind was in a state of turmoil, he didn't know what to do.

The guys started approaching Nemo and the others, Nemo's eyes filled with despair at the thought of his impending doom, how was he going to survive?
