Infront of an absolute strength. A humongous palm was descending like a meteor.
Nexus resisted the gravitational pressure from the higer being.
Bleeding from every corner of his body… a desperate attempt.
In that very moment, an oldman with white beard from a very far away took a single step forward and he accelerated fast enough to make the sound barrier broke many times.
He appeared in front of nexus bloodied body.
"A barbarian dared to lay a hand on the emperor of my clan" He uttered.
The figure make a fist and gathered its strength to punched the humongous palm.
Bang—
The impact of those two, made the entire underworld city crushed into the ground, even the surroundings area was completely destroyed.
Cracked—
The palm was cracking one by one by the fist of the powerful figure.
"W—What!! How could someone as strong as you in this remote place—"
"Well, can you just fucked off"
As the figure was saying that, the palm was destroyed and the barbarian ancestor was also completely destroyed by the force of the unknown figure.
After that he looked at nexus body fell to the ground, going unconscious.
But he's trying his best not to close his eyes. The figure said "It's time… it's up to you now… young master… Take care…".
Nexus couldn't properly hear his voice and the figure disappeared into the air as he fell unconscious.
Leaving him only to the ground by himself.
"Kid, You're one of a lucky bastard."
"I can't believe you survive this… you body was wrecked beyong limits" The dragon soul said as he was looking around the destroyed place.
"I will take care of the rest… just let me—" In the moment, the dragon soul opened his eyes through the body of nexus.
And for the first time he uttered "DEVOUR" he grinning his teeth and laughed hysterically.
All living beings that was put to death by the hands of the big palm was being devoured like an madman.
The surrounding city also fell into an defensive state. The aura of heaven-devouring weakens the surroundings mana they absorb.
So, they declared the underworld city as an dead zone.
A month had passed, the 5 thousands slaves returned to the forbidden land as they were being guided by the little fox and mercenary.
The three old monsters asked them about the situation of nexus, until they he was the dragon emperor.
"So what really happened" The azure dragon said.
They were looking at each other with hesitation to spoke "Umm, the boss— I mean the dragon emperor, let us all stay away from the battlefield, we thought it will be over in time as the dragon emperor was stronger than the underworld city… However, something had descends like a mighty being" Rosaline said and also she added they're too far away but the impact of another strong individual flatten the entire area.
The old monsters was in shocked and worried about the dragon emperor.
"I see, so that thing descends into the world, that's why the heavenly barrier of the world to outer space— was broken for a few moment"
"Let's take a look at the emperor" The other two old monsters followed him.
Blink—
They disappeared a days of travelled they saw a black mist covering miles of the area beyond the underworld city.
They couldn't approach clearly because of the black mist. Even with their divine consciousness traveling to get through was hard.
"Dragon emperor, please be well. We will gathered every best physician in the world to help you recover—" The azure dragon was stopped mid sentence as he was interrupted.
"No need, just take care of the forbidden land for me. Don't tell anybody about me" The dragon soul spoke in the body of nexus.
They showed respect and said "All right, just by hearing you was enough, please take care dragon emperor"
The old monsters went back to the forbidden land.
The world was on uproar, the dead zone was also recognized by the major forces as an official dead zone.
6 Months had passed, nexus was still unconcious.
"Hey, why don't you wake up brat, imma beat you to a pulp if you don't"
Even with the knowledge of the dragon soul don't know what's happening to nexus that fell him for this long, even while the body was almost recovered.
Inside his soul ocean, nexus soul rest between the countless divine text.
Suddenly, his soul was dragged deep down into his soul.
Abyss like place, even the light was being devoured. After a few moments of being pulled.
A tiny light sword was seen on the abyss floating, the abyss itself was staying far from its light.
Nexus opened its eyes, and saw the sword. He was mesmerized by its divine presence.
When he realized that something was wrong he shakes his head and said "Where am I?… It's looks like I'm at the depths of the soul ocean" he looked at the sword.
"Did you call me here? Why" Nexus said.
"…"
"I won't entertain you any longer, I have to get out of here"
Ding—
The sword tilted and made an ringing sound as if he was trying to communicate.
Nexus looked back but he continued to travel into the abyss. When he reached a quite distance, the abyss began to corrupt his soul.
Black lines appeared on his soul, but when he stepped back.
The black lines disappeared instantly.
"I see, the presence of the swords makes the abyss tremble… the mysterious sword must be the way so I can go out" nexus uttered while brushing his imaginary beard.
He went back to the tiny sword and said "How can I go out of here? If you teach me… maybe I can help you explore the world… it must been so lonely here" Nexus emotionally uttered to lure him out.
DING—
It started to moved swiftly and gently.
Nexus smiles at the tiny sword.
"!!!"
It realized that he was being fooled by him, he spank his but with its sword.
Nexus got angry and he also launched a sword attack.
