He was a storm given flesh, a walking disaster, at least that's what the demons within the central mini mountain felt…
With each step that carried him for meters ahead, bodies were decimated, it didn't take more than one swing from that devastating blade of his, after the first surge from his {Unnamed Sword Arts}, Raiden no longer bothered to use any more skills, the demons were to weak..
His ten ton blade when swung with the velocity with which he was swinging it, it became a bringer of death and carnage…
He was unstoppable, until he encountered his first real threat…
An early tier 4 demon…
***********
Tier 4, The official warrior stage…
What made this level so special it was named the official warrior stage…
It's said that all the other stages before this, apprentice, elite, expert… were nothing but trainee stages…
The official warrior stage(aura master, mage, warlock) or tier 4 for demons was special because it wasn't just another level..
It was a transcendence of life level, the stage where you go from being mortal to something… MORE….
And at this stage, warriors finally achieved the one thing that made them unbeatable to anyone beneath that stage..
{Domain}…
Or {Aura Manifestation} for the aura masters
An imposition of your will unto the world itself, a domain is an ability that always puts the user in a favorable position, an environment where he/she not only receives an enormous boost, but their opponents suffer significant debuffs…
The only way to counter these being with your own domain or aura manifestation…
With all these, compounded by the fact that the natural stats of a tier 4 are not something anything lower should be able to compare with..
Facing someone within this stage of power whilst not being there yourself, is nothing short of a nightmare, suicidal…
But..
Like I've always said, in all cases, there will always be exceptions to that rule, those who stand outside the established norms, those who look normality, look at established standards, rules of cultivation itself, and laugh, spite it, then go on to shatter that notion COMPLETELY..
And right now, this demon was about to face what might be the most absurd of them all..
*******
"For a measly tier 1 human to do so much damage to my territory, I don't know if I should commend your bravery or laugh at your stupidity" a gravely voice sounded through the massive clearing Raiden found himself in..
Right before him stood a goat headed demon, unlike any before it, this one was taller, more bulkier, and it's eyes shone with an intelligence no less than a human's…
It spoke, turning slowly towards him, in its grasp, a massive axe, almost twice Raiden's height, it's blood red blade gleaming ominously in the midday sun, promising nothing but death…
"A talking livestock, well I'll be damned" Raiden now standing firmly at level 6 apprentice, due to his recent massacre, grinned wildly, his pristine white teeth a stark contrast to his bloody visage..
"I wonder if your meat would taste good, I've never had goat meat, but now I'm suddenly hungry" his eyes gleamed maliciously..
"Human CURRRRR!!!!" The demon roared angrily, hearing it's great self be likened to livestock set it off….
"For your blasphemous words, die knowing you offended the great Mal'vor," saying this, the demon swung his great axe…
Swooooooshhhh!!!!
A dark red blade energy surged wildly towards Raiden, he tried to react but alas, he was too late, with a shocked expression on his face, he watched in slow motion as the blade cleanly sliced through him, splitting him clean into two halves..
The residual energy turning his remains into blood mist…
The demon, mal'vor, laughed uproariously, satisfied that it'd finally dealt with the human curr that dared trespass its domain..
"You know, I expected much more from a tier 4 demon, gotta say I'm disappointed" a mocking voice sounded right in front..
The demon froze, and like a broken puppet, turned its head toward the sound..
There stood Raiden, as good as he was, the blood from his massacre finally gone, his 6ft frame standing nonchalantly, broadsword resting on his shoulder as he regarded the demon with disdain…
"Impossible!!" Mal'vor roared…
"Ohhh, but, I'm very much possible" Raiden laughed..
Unnamed sword arts…Fourth Stance
The air stilled, Mal'vor felt his skin prickle, his pupils dilated, and he immediately got ready to defend as he sensed a fatal threat,
But alas he was still a step too late,
Vanishing Blade….
Sliceeeeeeee!!
The blade somehow struck before his words could even be completed..
Splash!
Thud!!
All Mal'vor saw was a splash of red, and then he saw an eerily familiar arm doing backflips in the air, before a jarring thud woke him up…
Raiden appeared behind him, Eve trembling within his grasp, as he swung her to get the dirty blood off…
Ooooooaaaaahhhhhhhhh
A thunderous roar filled with pain and rage rang out as Mal'vor finally registered what just happened..
His arm had been cut off, HIM!!!! The great Mal'vor had his arm cut off by some human curr in the tier 1 power stage?????
"UNACCEPTABLE!!!!" His roar shook the whole mountain, and then it came..
Domain…..
The air stilled..
And for the first time since arriving on this mountain, Raiden felt a chill down his spine..
Danger…
Unfathomable, inescapable danger…
His sense roared for him to run..
But Raiden, Raiden grinned…..
His smile manic, excited, anticipating..
Finally, something worth hitting….
He thought in excitement, as his hands trembled from the power being released by the demon before him, and then…
Slaughterhouse of the mad demon…..
Wenggggg!!!!!!!
