“But the next time you leave an opening, Imma break you down into pieces.” Arth breathed heavily through his bloody mouth. He somehow found his balance as he stood still, shaking his painful arms off. His body had gotten too much damage, but he still had to overcome the pain and go beyond his limits. And so he extended both of his hands and materialized two ice swords. “And the next time you leave an opening,” Arth spat the blood in his mouth, “Imma slice your body down into pieces.”

Edgar swung his sword from an unexpected angle, aiming to break through Adrian’s defenses. Adrian sneered and said, "You must have a death wish!" Suddenly, a sword energy appeared in Adrian’s hand, transforming into a radiant arc that shot forward and tore through everything in its path. "What kind of sword technique is this?" Edgar was taken aback, his gaze filled with disbelief as he watched Adrian unleash a technique he couldn’t fully comprehend.

The moment his treasured sword touched Chase's chest, it disintegrated into powder. A sharp pain shot through his arm as blood poured out. His entire arm was completely destroyed. Before he could react further, an immense force gripped him. Chase's hand clasped around his neck, tightening like a steel vice. Chase twisted his neck with a single motion, snapping it instantly. The remaining six warriors turned pale, retreating to the edges of the clearing. Their faces were etched with fear as they stared at Chase, now fully aware of the danger he posed. "Sir, you're being far too arrogant. This is the territory of the Nefarious Deity Sect!" the elder said in a deep voice.

POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 3: NEXT DAY As soon as Rin took the sword and gave it to Vai, Vai looked at Rin and struck a strike, which Rin quickly dodged and jumped up behind Vai. Rin aimed at Vai’s back, while Vai had a good sense and turned to him, awakening his Ice power. Vai cracked his head and back, positioning his body properly. Leaning well, Rin smirked and hit his sword, but Vai was second faster and sneaked in Rin’s back, hitting his leg.

Omar moved calmly, pulling a hunting knife from his coat pocket. The way the blade winked wickedly in the pale light sent a chill down Chloe’s spine. She decided there and then she had seen enough of weapons and murder today and turned away from the door, gulping in air. Her throat burned and the bitter taste of bile still haunted Chloe’s mouth. Above her the clouds were breaking and golden sunlight was now filtering through, casting long shadows between the trees. It was too beautiful for the gruesome scene.

His blade slashed for Lazarus’s throat—only for Lazarus to vanish, his body dissolving into smoke. Behind him. Sang-woo spun, barely catching Lazarus’s blade with his own. The clash sent shockwaves through his arms, sparks flying in the dim light. Lazarus’s grin widened, his eyes glowing faintly. “You’re strong,” he whispered, pressing harder. “But strength without control is nothing.” Their blades locked, neither giving ground. Sparks showered between them, the tension vibrating through the chamber. --- On the other side, Soo-ah struggled against two soldiers closing in on her. She stumbled, nearly falling, when Yoon-min caught her arm. His hand shook violently, but his voice steadied her.

Just when I thought I was winning, Xavier pushed me back harder till I landed on the ground heating my head. Nyx winced in pain blood sizzling down. *You think you are strong huh?” His voice was loud in my head. I growled as his claws scratched my fur. Nyx snared in pain trying to fight back but his grip was tight. “You are no Enigma… Once an Omega always an Omega, don’t you ever forget that.” His canines sunk into my throat, Nyx howling in pain as everything started fading. "Sage..." I whispered as though I could feel him but couldn’t tell.

The moment the magic touched the steel, the sword thrummed in response, resonating with newfound power. I could feel the connection—my intent merging with the weapon, enhancing its edge, readying it for whatever lay ahead. I lifted the sword, the light casting flickering shadows around me. The creature hissed and tried to retreat but I wouldn't let it. Seraphina, Aric and Kaelan stopped the creature from fleeing as they landed blows after blows. The creature no longer tried to block the blows, only escape was important to it.

He stepped inside the demon’s swing, pivoted sharply— And drove his blade upward beneath the general’s armor. The steel stopped just short of Kharvek’s throat. Silence fell instantly. The duel was over. Kharvek froze. Adrian held the blade steady. “Yield,” Adrian said quietly. The demon’s jaw tightened. But he finally lowered his weapon. “I yield.” Adrian stepped back. The court erupted again—some cheering, others murmuring in disbelief. High above them, Vaelreth stood slowly from his throne.
