Chapter 589 - 588: Don’t fight it

"Death to everyone!" Crack. Keith squeezed his palm, and the head of his enemy exploded like a pumpkin. He took a step forward, appearing more than ten meters away in an instant. He grabbed the hand of an enemy who was thrusting a spear at him. Keith pulled him backward before lifting the man into the air and smashing him into the ground. BOOM! The impact created a crater as all the man’s bones shattered. The spear broke from the force, and the remaining pieces shot out, one of them stabbing directly into the head of another enemy. One after another... The death count around Keith continued to rise. The corpses were instantly mummified before collapsing to the ground as Keith absorbed their blood. This quickly caught the attention of the people around him. "What... what is he?" Someone stared at the three-meter-tall Keith ravaging everything around him. "Who knows..." "What kind of monster does the Molak Family have?" "This is terrible!" "Run!" The people scattered in every direction. But alas... There were hundreds of thousands of them cramped together fighting. Where could they possibly go? One after another, they were crushed beneath Keith’s rampage. Their bodies were reduced to nothing but mummified corpses. Kiro didn’t know what to say. In this form, Keith appeared almost completely senseless. Yet he wasn’t attacking his allies. Only his enemies. But again, that could simply be because only enemies surrounded Keith at the moment. Kiro’s expression became serious. His body suddenly transformed. In an instant, he grew to more than five meters tall. His aura became extremely erratic as he took several steps forward. Keith was about to smash a boulder toward a group of enemies. The impact wouldn’t only crush them. It might also injure some of their allies nearby. Kiro moved. "Keith." His voice was deep and hollow. He slammed his shoulder into Keith. BOOM! The two giants crashed into the ground. But this was exactly what Keith needed. For a brief moment... His mind became clear. He regained control of himself. Keith looked beside him. A towering five-meter-tall giant stood there. Compared to Kiro, Keith’s three-meter-tall body looked almost small. "Come on." Kiro’s deep voice echoed. "Kill as much as you want." "But stay in control." "That’s it." He chuckled. "Accept that this is who you are." "Besides, they’re our enemies, right?" "They’re trying to kill you." "It’s self-defense." Keith remained silent for a moment. Then he slowly nodded. Kiro was right. Maybe the problem wasn’t about fighting for control. Maybe... He simply needed to accept who he was. He wasn’t some good-hearted person. He was someone who had survived the arena by killing his way through it. So why was he trying so hard not to kill now? "Thanks." Keith finally opened his mouth. A reverberating, hoarse voice came from his throat. Then the two giants charged into battle. One was already at the High-Level Rank 0 Realm. The other was rapidly approaching the High-Level Rank 0 Realm with every kill. The two transformed into killing machines. They swept across the battlefield, leaving mummified corpses and shattered limbs in their wake. BOOOOM! A massive shockwave erupted. Across a range of more than fifteen thousand kilometers, the clouds were instantly torn apart. Any unfortunate creature flying through the area was vaporized. It seemed as though the sky itself was trembling. The energy released from the shockwaves reached the ground thousands of meters below. The topsoil was vaporized. Trees were torn apart. Branches were sliced away. Even some of their roots were ripped from the earth. And this... Was with the Quasi-Rank 1 beings deliberately holding back. --- "Damn it!" Riua’s heart pounded heavily as he narrowly dodged another attack. BOOM! Another Quasi-Rank 1 being attacked him from the side. At their realm, the Mortal Realm lacked materials durable enough to be wielded as weapons by beings of their level. So they fought using their bodies. And Riua was facing two beings. Both were leaders of powerful organizations. And both were First-Step Quasi-Rank 1 beings. Two against one. Four hands against two. Riua had to keep at least one of them at a distance before engaging the other. He had to be fast. But at their level... Speed was almost meaningless. They could cross thousands of meters in an instant. The moment he created distance, his opponent would immediately close it. It was becoming increasingly difficult to fight. BANG! "You..." Riua’s head snapped backward as he felt like his neck was about to break. His vision became blurry, but only for a moment. That moment was more than enough. A huge force suddenly struck his stomach. He bent over instantly and vomited blood as his ears rang. Then— BOOM! A kick slammed into him, sending him flying several thousand kilometers away from the main battlefield. His body crashed into the ground, sinking more than fifty meters into the earth as a massive crater, almost a kilometer wide, appeared around him. The two landed beside the crater. They looked down at Riua, who was struggling to stand. Blood dripped from his mouth as his legs wobbled beneath him, dizziness filling his head. The two leaders looked at each other. Then— BOOM! The ground cracked beneath their feet as they charged forward. The trees around them, each more than eight meters tall, were blasted out of the ground, roots and all, by the sheer force of their movements. Both of them threw their fists toward Riua’s face. But of course, Riua wasn’t a novice. He was an experienced fighter. He hadn’t reached the Quasi-Rank 1 Realm through luck alone. Riua immediately crossed his arms and opened his palms, absorbing the impact of their attacks. BOOM! His body was pushed backward, skidding across the cracked ground for more than a hundred meters. The heat produced by the collision was terrifying. The intense force generated between their fists and Riua’s palms was enough to instantly fry an ordinary human. Riua gritted his teeth. His wrists felt like they had been snapped from the impact. But he couldn’t rest. A fierce wind suddenly crashed into him as the ground beneath him split open even further. Riua slammed his dangling wrist against the ground. CRACK! The bones immediately aligned. The terrifying regeneration of a Quasi-Rank 1 being was displayed once again. His wrist healed almost instantly. But before he could attack, Riua’s hands suddenly dug into the ground. He dropped himself flat against the earth as the two leaders flew past him, missing his body by only a few inches. Riua smiled. He wasn’t done yet. With both hands buried in the ground, he suddenly felt something thick beneath his fingers. A root. He grabbed it and yanked it out with all his strength. A long, broken tree root emerged from the ground. Riua immediately turned around. The two leaders were already moving away. He swung the root like a whip. PAH! The air split apart. One of the leaders was struck directly in the back. His clothes were ripped apart instantly, revealing his back as his flesh was torn open. "AH!" The leader screamed in pain as his body slammed into the crater. The other leader’s body immediately broke out in goosebumps. He hurriedly turned around and crossed both arms in front of himself. But it was already too late. The tree root had already disintegrated from the force of the attack. Riua didn’t care. He grabbed the man’s crossed arms and smiled. Then he pulled him closer. His knee shot forward like a piston. CRACK! The leader’s nose shattered. Blood shot into the sky, creating a tiny rain of blood. "Come on..." Riua smiled as he looked at the two injured leaders. ********** Alright guys, I need your thoughts on this. So basically the power system from Rank 0 to rank 4 and beyond has finally been completed. Am happy about that but much more I was thinking and based on some demands, would you guys want a patreon?. In there the Rank 0 to Rank 4 power system will be explained and it’s free. Plus other terms/ classification of existence there with their explanation. Like what is the plane of consciousness? What is a realm exactly? What are the classification of planets etc. As for the power system of above Rank 4, that would be locked and would be paid for after all ".." why do you want to see the future realm... Anyways, also there will be character images, sneak peaks of future characters and even background of characters and lot more. So if you guys are interested do tell me, i.will drop my patreon.. link on my bio and synopsis if possible.
