The Story Never Ends

"Hehe, did you think that I would let you live?" Davion chuckled and didn't forget to take off his spirit ring. Then only did he walk ahead with the orb in his hands.

Like the snake had told, he injected his spiritual energy into it after taking two hundred steps. The orb shined brightly and the scenery infront of him changed.

He saw a white barrier in the shape of a cube where four strange people were levitating over its edges. Below them, there were scrolls which Davion could have recognized if he was with the elders right now.

Inside the barrier, a handsome young man carrying a hammer was being bombarded by different types of animals formed from the formation. They were a tiger, a crocodile, a snake and an eagle.

The eagle was flapping its wings and producing whirlwinds that were surrounding him from all sides and the crocodile was firing a geyser of water from his mouth towards him. As for the snake and the tiger, they were fighting in close combat with him.

The tiger would attack with its claws while the snake with its tail. These claws and tail were surrounded by dangerous dark energy which was corrosive and even Davion felt some threat from it.

"Is this the so-called attacking array? These animals are all in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage and are quite strong. But for him to last this long can be considered impressive," Davion muttered while watching him closely. Indeed, he was Bryant.

"Bang."

The hammer clashed with the claw and he backed a few steps away instantly as a tail was swept in his direction. The tail missed, and he was about to make a move but he couldn't as a beam of water was already on his way.

"Damn" He jumped in the air and dashed off in a circle while dodging those whirlwinds. His afterimages were formed and these creatures paused as they became confused.

"Sky of dragons" As a disciple of the Sect Master, he had learnt some of his moves. So, he used it without hesitation.

His afterimages transformed into dragons and went after those animals. Seeing this the eagle screeched and the whirlpools became twice as large and easily destroyed those dragons.

Next, the crocodile bellowed and the water it was spraying formed a huge wave that covered him in the blink of an eye. He looked at it solemnly and was about to strike when all of a sudden, everything around him changed.

He found himself in the plain blue sky with nothing infront of him.

"Is this an illusion?" he thought and swung his hammer with all his force guessing that the wave was still over him. However, nothing happened as everything felt real.

"This.." He became confused and stood there quietly waiting for something to happen.

"BOOM"

Suddenly the sky cracked in the middle and a huge snake appeared in the air. It extended its tongue towards him and in a couple of seconds, it had already neared him.

He panicked when he saw this and smashed his hammer and tried to break it apart. Nonetheless, it was useless as his hammer passed right through it.

"As I thought," he sighed and didn't resist thinking it was fake. But he miscalculated as it swirled around his body and squeezed him tightly.

"No.."

Davion, who was outside, was also surprised by the turn of events. The only thing he noticed was that Bryant suddenly paused in mid-air and the snake easily caught him thereafter.

"Did the water cast an illusion on him?"

"This should be what an illusion array means." Davion understood some things about formation after watching all this.

"Eh! It looks like he has passed out too." He saw the snake throw him to the ground, and Bryant laid there immovable.

"Now, it's time to put an end to this." Before they could kill him, Davion approached the barrier and tapped on the surface twice.

"Tap..tap.."

This sound instantly awakened the four people and they looked in his direction. There were three men and one woman among them.

"Who are you?" The woman asked while gazing at the orb in his hands.

Davion smiled and pointed his index finger behind him. They looked there and saw the dead body of the snake. They understood what had happened at once and became furious.

"You dare to do that?" One of the males spoke.

"Sorry, it was a mistake. I'm just here to apologize. After all, I belong to the same race," Davion replied and steadily transformed into his devil form. But he controlled his size to not scare them away.

"You.."

They had their mouths wide open and looked at him in disbelief. Yes, they were devils too. Davion had sensed their pure devil essence a long ago.

"I didn't know that a demon could be mingling with you," Davion explained.

"Is that so?" The woman was still suspicious.

"Then what do you want from us? Don't you know that we belong to the Heavenly Demon Sect? We are not the same." The other male on the side interrupted.

"I only want to return home. It's been a long time since I've returned," He showed a sad expression.

"No, how.." The woman wanted to say something when the young man who had no tattoos on his face cut her off.

"I believe in you," he said.

"What?" The others exclaimed.

"I won't say it twice. Just let him in," He had a cold look on his face.

"Yes." The woman nodded and slapped the scroll. An opening was formed and Davion entered through it while in deep thought.

"This young man seems to be their leader. I can sense him hiding his energy."

When he entered, the young man addressed himself, "I am Jack, the devil king directly under the emperor."

"I am Dav.." Davion was also about to introduce himself too when Jack waved his hands and interrupted in.

"I know who you are," He smiled and put his hand on the scroll. Next, the animals on the ground let go of Bryant and encircled him.

Davion's expression changed when he saw this. He was stealthy trying to know the way to go to the Devil World from here. But it appears to be useless now.

"Did Julia inform them before coming after me?" Davion thought as Julia was the only one to catch him red-handed. Afterwards, he curiously looked at him and asked, "Who?"

"Humph, the disciple from the Thunderbolt Sect who invaded the territory of Aiden." Jack clearly remembered Aiden showing the face of the masked man when meeting the emperor.

"What did you say?" Davion felt that he had heard wrong. How could he invade Aiden's territory when he doesn't even know how to go there?

"Don't try to fool me. A devil-like you who is working for the Thunderbolt Sect is no good. I will definitely capture you and bring you to the emperor for interrogation." Jack yelled loudly and began injecting his spiritual energy into the scroll.

Listening to all this, the other devils became serious and started infusing too.

"ROAR"

The tiger roared and came ahead of Davion in a jiffy and swept its claw.

"It seems like I can only use force to make them answer me." He jumped back and took out his halberd and his axe without any delay.

Next, he threw his axe towards his back, which scared away the snake that was trying to sneak attack and with his right hand, he swung his halberd forward and blocked the tiger's follow-up attack easily.

"Clang"

The blade of the halberd collided with the claw creating some sparks.

"A difficult opponent," Jack muttered and ordered them, "Go all out. It's useless to save your energy."

"We understand." They did as he told and the animals became twice as big as a result.

"Oh! The power of the array has increased," While he was observing, a huge tidal wave covered him and he felt a strange force trying to influence his mind.

He knew what it was as he had experienced it a lot during his time with Julia. So, before it could pull him into an illusion, he completely unleashed his multicoloured aura.

He became a huge devil and remained completely unaffected. He then jumped straight to the sky and slashed his halberd on the barrier with all his strength.

"CREAK"

A large crack appeared and Jack along with the other devil kings immediately coughed out blood from the backlash.

"Damn, it was only a single blow," Jack cursed as he couldn't believe it. This formation was strong enough to kill almost everyone below the Domain Realm.

This didn't end here as Davion used the second ability of his halberd.

"Coiling Dragon"

A humongous dragon emerged and went straight to the eagle who was about to make his move. The dragon twisted around it and the eagle could only screech and try to get out of it. However, it was useless as the dragon swiftly harvested all of its energy.
