"Fuck!" I cursed, as I stopped my sword from cutting his heart. It was an inch away from it, but as this killing intent filled my heart, it moved. I was barely able to stop it and even now, struggling hard to take out that out my sword from his heart. This killing intent is really too powerful, that it controlled me despite all the soul defenses and my clones, which act like a rational shield. In my whole life, I have never felt the killing intent so high. I had not even felt a tenth of all the enemies I had faced. Thank God, I had comprehended the rule of killing and Mortality through it. I am very intimate with such a feeling, that I was able to stop myself from killing him. If there had been anyone else in my place, they would have done the deed already. Still, it did not make me feel good, as I am having difficulty taking out my sword from his chest. I am only a hairbreadth away from killing him, while the enemies are slowly closing in seeing the chance to kill me. Our battle had attacked a lot of people; many of which we have attracted had started to fight among themselves, while others stayed put. The woman who had been chasing me earlier is one of the people coming toward me fast. She is the closest and most dangerous; as we were fighting, she killed two people. I may have been fighting against this man with full focus, but I had also been aware of my surroundings. A few seconds passed, and I was barely able to take an inch of my sword from his chest, while my enemies have come even closer. Now, there is less than a mile distance between the four of them and me. They are coming fast, and now, they are not even trying to hide their presence. They are coming fast as they can, with a woman earlier the closest. A few more seconds passed, and she appeared behind; leaping at me at full speed, with her dagger drawn. "Die, you bastard!" she shouted when her blade was just a meter away from me. "Ahhh…" I sensed the clear death and shouted loudly as I concentrated every ounce of my will and pulled back my sword, with everything, I have. The sword came out, and it did not stop. Instead, it moved back toward the woman with such speed that she had been forced to change her offensive stance to the defensive one. BAM! My sword reached her dagger in an instant, before passing it and hitting her head so, hard that it sent her flying before she crashed on the boulder. She moved a moment later, before getting up and watching me in fear, like the rest who had stopped in their tracks. I looked at each of them before turning to my enemy, who was watching me in shock, seeing what I had done to him. Like the woman, I did not make him unconscious. There are so many people here. If I had made them unconscious, they would die within a second. I am sure some of these people wouldn't mind killing an unconscious person. Even if they mind, the brand might compel them. I had felt its power firsthand and know very few could resist it. Though, I have tinkered with their power. The woman will be able to wipe out effects within a few minutes, but the man will need hours or even a day. Depending on how his method is. Those alchemical energies are not easy to get rid of. I aura so everybody could sense it, before moving ahead and nobody stopped me and followed me. I have wasted nearly twenty minutes, and now I am moving fast. What other choice did I have? I couldn't go slow, it will take a lot of time and after experiencing the power of the seal, I want to reach the beam as soon as possible. Speaking of the beam, it seemed to have been getting darker. I am not imagining it; my clones had said the color had gotten 4% darker. Two hours passed and in that time, I had dealt with more than ten enemies who had tried to kill me. Two were strong enough to match me at a speed that I needed to stop and fight. I had needed thirty-two minutes to deal with them; they were strong as a bone man, and one was even stronger in power. He was the one I defeated quickly, it is the other women, who took the majority of the time. I am getting closer to the beam with every minute, but still hope to run faster. I was already at my full speed and couldn't go any fast anymore. It would have been wonderful if there had been Grimms here. Killing a bloodline Grimms would have given me their juicy bloodline, but I don't think this place would have taken them. If Grimms had been here, it would have been inheritance Grimms. One thing I noticed in prison, in the cavern, and here is that there are no people with bloodlines. There are two reasons for that and I feel like both might be responsible is why there are no people with bloodlines here. First, people with bloodlines are very rare; far rare than in my world. Here, those with bloodlines live in realms in the celestial tower. It is also the second reason they are not here. One would be a fool to sacrifice those with bloodlines. It is a surefire way to be detected the progenitors. They are true lords of the universe, the people above the Primes; it is when one imprints their mark on quintessence and creates a bloodline. Seven and a half hours passed, and I have crossed an enormous distance. Fought against many enemies, but killed none. I have nearly crossed half of the distance and if things went as they did in the past few hours, I will be able to do it. Hun! The thought had just crossed my mind when I suddenly stopped and froze on my spot. The thing I had been fearing had happened. I have sensed the Sovereign, and it is coming toward me. He is not the only Sovereign here, there are four more. Of which two are fighting, while the other two are just watching. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Even in such a state, those two have surprised me. Those two are together, standing nearly touching. I wanted to run away, but seeing the Sovereign's speed. I know it will be futile. So, I took out my sword and readied myself, while spreading my sense, and this time, I did not care, being invasive. I want to see how powerful the Sovereign is and at the moment, I sensed its power. My expression couldn't help but turn bad. He is powerful, not like the weakest Sovereign, I hope he would be. So, I could at least resist his one or two moves; it will not happen, the bastard is powerful. Enough to kill me in a single attack. Hun! I was wallowing in horror when I sensed something from another sovereign. One of the two was standing together. Feeling that aura, hope rose in my heart.
