As the spirit energy lashed at each other in the air, sweat cold be seen dripping down both Nightin's and Kris forehead while Hysan was smiling at them with steady footing.
Matthias who could see the battle in the air knew that things weren't looking good for the duo, everytime they deflect an attack, they would stagger backwards from the stronger force.
The two of them might have unparalleled talent, but they still lack the qualifications to challenge someone whose talent isn't much weaker than them with the age gap.
"How about this? I'll be a gracious senior and give the two of you the chance to surrender. In exchange, you'll swear loyalty to me for the rest of your life." Hysan had totally changed into a different person at this time, if the him from before was a cold yet confident genius, he was now arrogant and dominant.
This is how the laws revolve in the world of geniuses, they would never allow another to overtake them and would stop them in their tracks with any possible method.
"How about this, you surrender and we'll give you the opportunity to serve under future Demigods, we might even become one of those Overlords, pretty attractive offer isn't it?"
Kris who rarely spoke actually threatened Hysan without fear, a smile was plastered on his trembling body which was suffering from the overbearing wave of attacks.
"Have you ever wallowed in despair only to know that it was the saving rope thrown to you by the chaos?" Hysan asked as the dual headed dragon behind his back materialized, seemingly coming alive as its slithering tongue hissed towards them.
"Do you think that you're the only person who have experienced despair? You'll never know what the two of us have been through and how they were the light source which led us out from the darkness." Nightin drew out his sword as he replied coldly.
The rapier which was held in Kris hand manifested itself as dark energy enveloped it as the rapier gradually grew broader and sharper, taking on the form of a heavy sword which juxtaposes its previous form.
"I see, you're also one of the chosen inheritors by those from the dark age." Hysan stated as sharp blades formed by the chaos element enveloped them, cutting off their connection from the outside world.
"Hey, what's going on? What's this energy barrier that appeared all of a sudden?" One of the elite soldiers asked loudly as he slammed his hammer towards the barrier.
Whirr
The barrier vibrated and before that elite soldier who struck could react, a reflective force sent him flying backwards as he laid there unconscious.
Seeing this, Matthias and a few other soldiers rushed towards him to inspect his injuries.
Blood was leaking from the injured soldier mouth, his arm laid powerlessly on the ground and his internal organs were shifted from their original position, his breathing was weak, but luckily still there.
"Give me some space, someone contact the general while I help him to heal his injuries, special knight Matthias, this includes you as well. I may only be average among the elite knights, but my healing skills definitely ranks first among us."
Healing energy wrapped itself around the soldier who pronounced himself a healer. He had undoubtly awakened the nature law of recovery which makes him unrivalled when it comes to healing, the only ones who can match him down would be those with seperior cultivation or someone who awakened the same law.
"Alright, I'll be entrusting him to you, elite medic soldier Cole." Matthias said as he stepped back and takes out what seems like a cross symbol.
"Your wish is my command, special soldier Matthias do rest assured that Illusion nurture him back to full health."
Nodding his head before walking off, Matthias brought the cross symbol messenger near his lip as he whispered into it, leaving an emergency message to the general to rush here.
Looking at the energy barrier and those attempting soldiers, he shook his head and shouted "All elite soldiers are to fall back right now! This is a forced order and disobeying of instructions given will be faced with severe punishment!"
When the elite soldiers heard this, some of them weren't willing to heed advice, but still backed down after the reminder their friends gave them, Matthias is Hysan's younger brother and that gives him more than enough authority to command them.
Back inside the enveloped barrier, Nightin and Kris dashed towards Hysan from both sides in an attempt to flank him, the heavy sword formed a 'C' shape in the air as it brought all the momentum towards its attack.
Nightin took another approach and made his way towards Hysan nimbly, slashing his swords forward with the attack enhancement of around thirty percent his Samsara law brought him.
"This is all that the two of you have? You underestimate someone who awakened the saint force of the iridescent grade. Even the average bronze grade saint force can trample the average nine gates Martial Emperor, not to mention someone with my capabilities." Hysan said impatient as a smirk formed on his face.
Sticking both his palms out, the two dragons coiled around his arms and opened their mouth as a black portal stopped their attacks.
What? That was the only reaction Nightin and Kris had before they were blown away.
The two of them skidded on the ground but still kept them balance, but before they could even get ready for the second attack, two distorted beams were already heading towards their way like two missiles.
"Damn it!" Nightin cursed under his breath as his wings spanned out and flapped towards the ground, making use of the momentum boost to leap into the air as he stayed airborne.
Kris meanwhile made use of his space laws to teleport behind Hysan and slashed towards him with the heavy sword.
"Pretty fast I would say." Hysan smirked as another dragon black in colour appeared from behind his back and flared its fangs at Kris before dashing towards him.
"Careful!" Nightin cried out as his feather arrows formed a shield in front of Hysan to slow down the dragon momentum while Hysan slammed down on the dragon head.
The dragon head then wailed it pain before it retreated back into Hysan's body, his body twitching and face winching from the unexpected shocking pain.
"You... How dare you challenge the successor of the chaos dragon?" Hysan spoke out, but his eyes were devoid of expression and his voice sounded grim.
"You aren't Hysan anymore, you're the chaos dragon who's residing in his body!" Nightin was alarmed as he immediately retreated backwards, Kris doing the same and retreating to the furthest end of the enclosed area.
"Chaos dragon, must you really force other successors like us to our wits end?" Kris asked with wrinkled brows, his veins pulsating and visible with the naked eye, his sword was raised and ready for combat as spirit energy gathered in his sword.
"You should know that there's a deal between us dark age existences and unless you promise to serve Hysan as his eternal slave, I'm afraid that death is the only release I can bestow upon you kindly."
