Chapter 29 - Old wounds
2294 Words
The moment the gate appeared the mist around the mysterious entity began to dissipate, space within the pocket space vibrated as the pressure from the gate filled the area.
The gate was set ablaze but the flames didn't radiate the usual scorching heat. instead, a soul chilling cold was emanating from it
"Mere orange flames can't do something like this, what's going on?"the mysterious entity spoke as they witnessed the natural law defying flames radiate from the gate behind Chi meili.
"That's because the Flames are not ordinary. Do you think ordinary orange flames would be capable of easily matching your blue flames?" Chi meili said to the entity
Naturally, no matter how strong the user of a lower Flame is, the heat from the flames would not be able to easily match that of higher flames rather the User energy behind the flames would just increase.
The flames were tiered by colour and those colours represent the heat ratio. The flames were the scarlet, orange, yellow and blue in order, from weakest to strongest. If the two users are in the same level of user strength then the user who would win, would be the one with the hotter flames. But...
Chi meili was able to match the flames of the mysterious entity despite having the same level of strength and User energy and not only that alone, When the entity released flames from their mouth earlier, she could tank it without any form of burn or damage.
"Your flames, what are they?" the mysterious entity said in a tone that trembled slightly
"This flames were created by me and unlike the usual flames, I removed the heat from this flames and transfered it to the combustion of the flames, they do not radiate heat but their ability to burn has transcended the limits of this world, that's why I can only use it in full right now" Chi meili said
"So even if you are using the most powerful blue flames known to man, in the presence of this flames it is absolute trash" Chi meili said
"I call them the Heretic flames"
The orange gate no longer had the burning flaming symbol at the middle of the gate but at the top of it.
"You were the one who created it....... that's a relief " The entity said
"Hmph" Chi meili gave a snort "let me show you it's power before you give your judgement. Oh, and before I forget, don't die too quickly"
BOOM!
The sound from the gate resounded across this pocket space and shock it's foundation
"Heretic Flame Art: Heaven Rejected Flame Armour!
She said as the an orange fiery armour covered her body creating a dense Flame armour that radiated ice cold aura around her.
The Normal Flame armour used in the Flame domain is a B- grade User Art but this Heaven Rejected Flame armour on the other hand, is just an SS grade user art but it's power is equal that of the SSS grade user arts.
The pressure emanating from chi meili increased but she didn't stop there. Her staff continued to hover above her radiating a more dense orange light as well
"I told you before, that I didn't create this Space to trap you, I created it to stop my power from devastating the whole earth but even with it, I'm not sure if it would be enough to withstand my power. So I will be killing you immediately"
The orange gate had not disappeared, it still remained behind her radiating it's cold orange light.
"Heretic Flame Art: Staff Fire spirit Domain!
Boom!
Energy erupted but it wasn't from her body but from the gate itself. The energy traveled, covering the entire space. The pocket space trembled under the light from the gate.
Suddenly, the staff above her began to glow, radiating a blinding orange light. Space within the pocket space began to burn at ten different locations. The flames from those areas began to transform and take shape slowly turning into staffs of five metres each.
It continued increasing in number, appearing around both the mysterious entity and Chi meili
Ten.....
Hundred....
One thousand.....
Ten thousand. ....
Ten thousand staffs took shape and formed into being through out the pocket dimension.
Chi meili stretched her arm into the air calling the staff she had thrown up back to her hands. The staff returned and she caught it while looking at the entity.
Chi meili's voice grew grim and dark"Taste the power of the heretic flames"
Boom!
The moment she finished speaking, the staffs began to move from their locations towards the mysterious entity at a frightening pace
"!!!" The mysterious entity jerked as they felt the approaching cold flames
Whoosh!
Ten Staffs slammed at the entity at once bringing down a massive pressure upon the mysterious entity.
The entity couldn't use their normal travel speed under such pressure so they flashed away using a movement skill.
Bang!
The staffs hit the mysterious entity's after image
The entity appeared twenty metres away from the attack when
Whoosh!
Another staffs was already slamming at their waist, the entity flew upward to dodge it when
Whoosh!
Another staff attacked them from above
"Ha!"
The mysterious entity yelled as they struck their scythe to counter the staff, but how could regular flames counter the Heretic flames that went against the laws of nature?
BANG!
The scythe instantly shattered to fragments as the azure coloured flames scattered into the air
"Ahhhhhh!
The mysterious entity shouted as the recoil of the shattered scythe hit them.
The staff didn't stop there, it continued till it slammed into the shoulder of the entity
Bam!
The entity was sent flying downward as the mist around the entity's shoulder scattered completely but the entity is still covered in the black ancient cloak so the skin of the mysterious entity is not visible.
The entity flew downwards but the attacks had not ended just yet. Multiple waves of staffs bombarded them from all angles.
Bang, bang, bang!
The entity was hit by the staffs on their back, shoulder and chest.
The staffs began to increase in number as they attacked her in a coordinated fashion
Bang!
A loud sound reverberated across the pocket space as they were sent flying for two hundred metres to the side
Bang!
Another hit sending the entity flying upward
Bang!
Another hit back down again
The staff within the staff domain played ping pong with the entity slamming them in all directions. However, the entity had not spilled blood since the beginning of the m******e.
The entity managed to flash away using a movement technique taking a break from the attacks. The entity stopped to look at chi meili who had not taken a step ever since the staff fire spirit domain was opened.
Since, the domain appeared, only the staffs had moved to attack the entity and not chi meili, she just floated there, watching the staffs attack the mysterious entity.
The entity instantly dashed towards her, the mysterious entity deducted that since she had not moved once the Flame Domain appeared then she could not move as long as she used the staff Fire spirit domain. Meaning, she had to stay in place to continue using the technique. But......
As the entity flashed continously using their utmost speed to dodge the turmoil of staff attacks.
Whoosh!
Chi meili instantly appeared before them, waving the staff towards their head
BOOM!
The entity was sent flying to the end of this one thousand five hundred kilometres space
Bang!
Another staff slammed into the entity bringing them to a stop
"You thought I couldn't move? Heh.... how naive" chi meili said in contempt
"!!" The entity shook in alarm, the staff were moving on their own, which means that all had a spirit in them but how could they all possess different spirits, that just goes against the laws.....wait, the heretic flames were flames that went against the laws of nature and order of life..... " are this part of the flames characteristics? "
The staffs all turned to their tip facing the mysterious entity
Boom!
They began to decend like rain one after the other
Bang!
The three in the front of the attacks hit the mysterious entity in the chest with their tips, the dark mist instantly crumbled around their torso but their body was covered in a dark cloak
The entity was sent flying towards the borders of the pocket space
Bang!
A loud sound reverberated upon collision with the borders of the pocket space
"!!!"
The mysterious entity raised their head to look at the incoming rain of staffs that released a terrifying pressure upon them at once, stopping the entity from moving. How could they even dodge ten thousand staffs descending upon their heads?
The staffs drew near at a terrifying speed and just when the staffs were about to bombard the mysterious entity
ROARRRRRRR!
A powerful roar shook the entire space as a gate appeared behind the mysterious entity.
Instantly, the staffs were blasted away by azure flames but this flames were different as they carried an oppressive might.
The staffs halted while the ones in front were blasted away by the mysterious entity's scythe. Unlike the usual azure flaming scythe, this scythe is real with the blade radiating an azure flaming glow of User and Flaming energy
"!!!" Chi meili's eyes widened to the limit as her body vibrated violently. It is because the aura from the new scythe and the azure flames released earlier both carried an aura that she was familiar with, an aura that only members of the royal household of the Flame Domain possessed, those flames were flames and User energy of a Primordial Celestial Flame Dragons of the fourth gate
"You..... how do you possess this flames" Chi meili said as her body trembled
"Tch..... You made me use this" the mysterious entity said in a tone that had a tinge of anger
"Wh.....who are you?" Chi meili asked, the Flame emperor's household has only five members currently and the Dragon aura radiating from the mysterious entity didn't match any of them.
The mysterious entity remained silent
"A....are you that person" Chi meili asked
The mysterious entity didn't reply
"I said are you that person!" Chi meili shouted as her aura increased with her rage making the space shake under her voice.
"I underestimated you, little girl. And believed I won't have to use this flames but who would have thought that the kid from back then would become this powerful........I'm just glad I came to kill you myself because if I didn't, you would have brought me future problems" the entity said
"You Devil!.... you are the one from that night!" chi meili shouted in anger
"Heh... why are you getting worked up, your master died at my hands but she didn't scream no matter what, in fact, if I had let her grow she would have been able to challenge me. So her death was crucial" the entity said in a mocking tone
"You were the one from back then....eh" Chi meili said as her voice became unusually calm with blood thirst flowing through it
"Little girl i must commend your growth, if your flames had been blue instead of orange you would have left here alive but it's too bad you were born with orange flames instead. Creating those heretic flames, you really are worthy of your tittle" the entity continued to speak
Chi meili continued to shake with rage. How could she not be angry? This mysterious entity was not a stranger to her. It was something the emperors the guardian and herself were all aware of. Years ago, when her master died, this entity's aura had appeared close to her but before the emperor and herself could get there the entity had already left. That day was the darkest day in history, the world's most powerful woman, her master died without a corpse. so, how could she not be enraged? After that day, the emperors, the guardian and even herself had tried to track this aura to no avail.
"Ha......hahahahaha....." Chi meili began to laugh without control, like a mad woman "Hahahahahaha. ...." she continued till she finally stopped
"So it was you hehe... I've been waiting for the day I finally meet you and I have prepared" she said as her voice grew sinister. Truth be told, after her master's death she went away to train alone for years in isolation and that was when she created the Heretic flames.
"Oh.... if your master couldn't stop me, what do you think you can do?" The entity mocked
"I have dreamt of this day even in my sleep and now you are in my hands" chi meili ignored the entitys taunts
"But I want to know, why did you attack the Flame continent?" Chi meili asked
"Isn't that obvious, why else but to kill that brat nigo" The entity said casually
"I didn't expect him to be protected by such force, if not I would have sent more meteorites in his direction" the mysterious entity said
"!!!!" Chi meili jolted the moment she heard the reason "Why do you want to kill nigo?"
"I believe you already know the reason for that" the entity said
Chi meili's voice trembled with anger that threatened to boil over and her hands tightened around the staff in her hand, her gaze turning darker and darker "For the sake of killing one person, you sacrificed millions of people and you killed my master"
She raised her staff towards the mysterious entity "For this, you shall die without a corpse!"
BOOM!
The Gate appeared once more
