Chapter 1078 Battle Against The World Council - End
Sengo Muramasa, at this moment, was utterly confused beyond measure. While he did not imbue this slice with any of his special power that allowed him to slice through anything, it was still a full powered casual strike!
However, the elegant looking fellow before him caught it with ease!
How?!
Why?!
Sengo Muramasa simply froze in such a manner while Shadowheart sighed and rose to his full height. The other core members who had fallen also got up and dusted themselves.
What was shocking was that one could still see a certain paleness on their faces, showing that they were still suffering from the Blood Suppression Wave. Yet despite this, they could still move so easily and muster such power… how?
Shadowheart saw Sengo Muramasa's' sheer confusion, as well as Nathan and Li Jian on the projection with totally flabbergasted expressions. He simply shook his head with a cold smile and flicked Sengo's blade away, causing the man to fly back a few meters and dig into the ground.
Sengo managed to stop him and then glanced at his blade which was keening weakly and his arm which was bruised near the webbed areas. His expression became dark as he could not understand where Shadowheart got so much power from as well as how he could perfectly allocate and use such power.
"I must say, the World Council is truly deserving of being called the rulers of the world. To develop such a method to deal with the lineages… and yet so simple and effective... truly brilliant." Shadowheart praised as he clapped slowly.
"Sigh, if only. If only we were mere lineage members with a bloodline purity of between 1-15%, you could have easily turned us into nothing but a slightly stronger human."
"Even with our currently high purities, we've still lost more than 75% of our bloodline power, and that is saying a lot. If this technology is worked in further and perfected, the World Council could probably wipe out the lineages… its a pity." Shadowheart lamented repeatedly, almost seeming to think on behalf of the World Council.
Hearing this, Nathan and Li Jian suddenly felt a chill. Shadowheart had kept repeatedly talking about the Lineages as if they were a separate faction altogether, and that would have very horrifying meanings.
Meanwhile, Sengo Muramasa was calculating how to take them down. Having brute strength was not enough to prevent him form taking Shadowheart's life, and only his freakish bloodline abilities at their full power could give him some headache.
"What a pity, that aside from bloodline holders, we are Control masters as well." Shadowheart finished with a smile as he raised both hand to either side.
Immediately, all the core members shot forth from behind him at shocking speeds, their physical movements beyond perfect as they sieged Sengo Muramasa head-on. They were like flashes that Sengo struggled to catch and had to defend himself against.
Misery first struck him in the gut and sent him flying, while AP casually appeared behind him and kicked him upwards. As Sengo was launched in the air, Elle came in with a triple upwards kick that kept him airborne while Kiran assisted from the other angle with a downwards palm slap.
When Sengo crashed into the ground, RamButt crashed into his airborne with his two knees from above and jumped away, allowing Slim Fatty to kick Sengo Muramasa like a ball punting him towards Essence who made a martial pose and then used an inch punch on the airborne Sengo's spine.
The group could heard an audible 'crack' sound and Sengo screamed as blood spurted from his mouth crazily, the damage from the consistent attacks catching up to him.
Sengo Muramasa was a fool. In Boundless, he was a Rank 7 Titled God with an HP bar longer than some World Bosses and had slight Divine Energy to suppress all mortal ranks. However, he came to this universe and felt under the rule of the local laws, only able to use his raw comprehension of the sword to maintain some semblance of power.
Had he stayed in Boundless' universe and fought the core members there under the same conditions, he would not be anywhere near such a bad state and would definitely be able to put up a sincere and clean fight.
However, he had chosen a poor venue for this battle, and he was now paying the price.
Realizing this, a hint of desperation entered his eyes as he exploded the sword energy within him, creating a powerful blast that pushed all the approaching core members away from him. While still spurting blood from his mouth, he forced reconnected his spine and slice forward, cutting a hole through the fabric of reality.
His face showed excitement as he could see his retreat on the other side, which led to boundless. Feeling relieved, he put on foot in and turned to glance at the core members whose faces had changed and were rushing over.
Thinking about how he had been brutally beaten just now, Sengo's expression fell and his eyes showed cruelty. He swore that after he returned a recuperated, he would contact the Titled Assassin God for her to help him slaughter all the loved ones of the core members, regardless of whether in Boundless or in real life.
He wanted to see their face locked in a rictus of pain, agony and endless regret for pushing him this far!
While he had such fantasies, he noticed that the core members paused their chase and collectively glanced at him like he was a fool, making Sengo's scalp tingle. He could tell that something was deeply wrong and sped up, trying to enter the portal all the way.
However his worst fears came true when he suddenly heard a soft and powerful female voice roar out:
"ZA WARUDO!!!"
BRRRR-SHAN!
A wave of power washed over everyone s they felt their bodies freeze in place, like they had been captured by a very powerful magnet, or as it the world itself had become a huge sea of pressure. Many struggled to take even a step forward before they realized what this was.
As for Sengo, he theoretically struggled the spot, but his efforts were next to futile as he was tightly bound. In fact, the more pressure he put on his chains to escape, the more pressure his main captor put on the force around him.
Sengo wanted to turn around and appeal to the leader of this force, and so spun himself around. However, he saw three people he never expected to see in this life, two women and one man!
The Evil Trio!
Eva's face was slightly red as she was the one Draco had made shout out that silly line, while Draco himself looked extremely satisfied. As for Shuangtian, she just looked happy that it wasn't her.
When Sengo saw Draco looking over with a playful expression, his heart fell to his stomach. He knew that things were too late if this bastard got involved. In fact, the portal he opened was now out of his control and he was dragged away from it by Draco carelessly.
"Haha, finally! You dumb Samurai, do you know how long we have waited for you to do that? Sheesh, you could have ended this all faster had you had done this earlier!" Draco complained as he dug his hand into the portal and connected with it.
Sengo was naturally confused at first that he had been casually tossed away like garbage rather than treated a s top priority prisoner by Draco, but watching the young man for a bit, he finally understood!
Sengo Muramasa understood everything!!
Maybe these core members, the subordinates were truly speaking for themselves when they mentioned their goals earlier, but these tree did not care about that and were overlooking this operation with a different goal in mind from the start!
And what else could that goal be than the only thing that made Sengo Muramasa's special, his ability to travel between virtual and real with ease thanks to his unique power?
That was why he had lived this long until now, so that he could - in his desperation, use the technique and grant the trio a chance of not only observe how it was done, but hijack it using their superior power and even probably learn from it?
Sengo's mind worked at full speed as he deduced all this, but the truly frightening part was that despite knowing all this and reaching this logical conclusion, he could no longer see a path to survival. It was as if the moment the Evil Trio participated, all his future paths of fate in alternate timelines had been cut off, and his journey ended here and now forever.
Muramasa fell helplessly into the hands of Elle, who grinned cruelly. "Hey bastard, remember my weapon you stole? I am so going to make you pay for it with your body…"
Shadowheart by the side flinched and glanced at Elle whose smile was reminiscent of Tiamat as she was about to do something that evil people would call 'horrible'. He couldn't help but feel some pity for Sengo Muramasa, which then disappeared when he remembered that this idiot actually stood against Vita Kingdom then ran here.
While Draco was processing the portal using his space abilities and Eva was looking through the flow of time for any anomalies, Shadowheart walked to the other end of the faraday cage and then pressed a hand on it.
Immediately, the wail began to decay regardless of the 'elite' materials sued and he walked through it with ease, entering the control room from the right. Within the room, everyone was still frozen in time, from Nathan and Li Jian's shocked and horrified expressions upon hearing that all the core members were Control masters, to the superpowered leaders' despair when they saw Sengo Muramasa beat up like a child, to Maria's depression when he realized that her fate would not be pleasant if she was caught by Shadowheart's group.
Shadowheart took this all in with a slight smile. He then collected Maria easily and then walked back to their group, placing her casually over his shoulder. He then turned to Draco who was focused on the portal with a strange smile and closed eyes as he comprehended its mystery.
In this period of stopped time, the group only waited for about a minute before Draco burst into victorious laughter and then grabbed the edges of the narrow portal, widening it greatly. He then injected great amounts of spatial power to stabilize the portal and feed energy to the other side so that he would pay the price of transmission instead of them.
Sort of like how when making an international call, one can opt to pay the airtime fee from their end and spare the other person the huge bill.
This naturally put great pressure on him since it was technically a cross-universal portal, not one that traversed the same space. So the majority of his energy was put into maintaining and stabilizing this connection so both sides would become familiar with it and it would cost them less to maintain.
Draco was initially in a very good mood, but when he saw Maria in Shadowheart's grip, his face changed. His memories seemed to erupt, reminding him of the previous timeline as his body moved to grab her from Shadowheart, who was stunned by Draco's unexpected reaction.
However, Shuangtian and Eva were faster than Draco, blocking the way before him with solemn expressions. Draco slowly glanced at the two of them and folded his arms with obvious dissatisfaction.
"The two of you planned this right? I should have know something was off when my mind became fuzzy earlier today, but I never thought you two would actually alter my focus while I was unguarded!" Draco stated with a frown.
Eva and Shuangtian did not deny, but they did not show remorse either. Rather, they circled Draco and surrounded him and both sides, making sure he couldn't escape easily.
