Divine Path System

How many people did Sarah kill? Not many.

As a cadet, she did missions and had to hunt down the Dungeon beasts quite often. But that's when she was pretty weak and all those monsters were killed by a light explosion by Sarah now.

Since Sarah was in closed doors training and only came out as a level 9 when Varian was fighting the Sovereign Undead, her kill count was very low.

As a result, Sarah was able to finish off her share of dead and move to Enigma and Sia's.

"Roar!"

"Kaaa!"

"Sia! Sia!"

Unlike her, Enigma had killed dozens of level 9s during the recent war. Even before that, when she fought alongside the Shadow Guardians, she assassinated some powerful level 9 Abyssals. Moreover, she also assassinated some level 9 human powerhouses.

The total number of level 9 she had to face easily crossed a hundred. And even if Enigma was stronger than ever, she was completely overwhelmed.

Right now, Sia was standing in the air in the middle of a barren plain. And surrounding her was a mix of abyssals, undead, and humans.

From a bird's point of view, the hundred silhouettes flashed with different colors and in the next second, thousands of explosions rang in the barren plain as the ground broke apart and dust clouds filled the sky.

Sia appeared on the clouds with several minor injuries. Even though she tried her best, she was injured nonetheless.

But she didn't waste time and swung the thin sword in her hand.

A beam of darkness shot out of the sword and reached a group of Undead on the ground. The undead were decapitated on the spot and their bodies were swallowed by the darkness.

'So, this is darkness…devouring, calm and comforting.' Even though Sia had just gotten access to the power of darkness, she inherited Enigma's mastery of the path and was able to use it with ease.

As Sia continued to fight, Enigma's voice rang in her mind. 'Sia, do you really want to fight? Even though you have mastery, it's still your first time with this power. And this battle isn't going to be easy.'

'I think…I don't want to keep running away and leaving you to face the hard times. Before I didn't have this darkness power and it made sense for you to take on all the fighting. Now, we're equal. So, let's share the burden too.' Sia smiled and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, a giant lightning ball appeared where she was previously standing and a terrifying explosion occurred.

A thousand miles in the sky was filled with golden light and the shockwaves from the explosion dispersed all the clouds in the sky.

Sia appeared on the ground with a bleeding arm. Snakes of lightning coiled around her hand and tried to electrocute her. But darkness covered her hand and resisted the lightning. Even though she resisted being burnt, her arm was already numb.

Yet, Sia targeted the remaining hundred and swung her sword relentlessly.

Gravity waves broke out and crushed some. Psychic attacks drew many mad and made them kill their own allies. And darkness engulfed the stubborn ones and ended them.

Despite the same powers, Sia's battle style was distinct from Enigma's and was also significantly lacking.

So, by the time she killed off most of these attackers, she was filled with injuries.

As she was about to slow down for a bit, the air behind her suddenly grew hot and exploded.

Sia kicked the air at the last moment to avoid the explosion but her back was still burnt by the blue flames.

Turning around, she saw ten abyssals in golden armor descending from the sky and looking at her with cold smiles. "We don't know where this is, but we finally have a chance to get revenge for ourselves,"

'They are sentient?' Sia's brows knit together and she gripped her sword tighter.

According to her observation, some random groups were sentient with memories of their death but most of them were just killing machines.

And for this particular group to be sentient, she could only lament her luck was bad.

In the recent war, Varian blocked the Blood Heirs while Enigma blocked these level 9s. Back then, to block and kill each one of these Abyssals, she had to struggle. And she could barely win against two at once.

But now, she was going to face ten of them simultaneously and it seemed that they were actually a team and knew how to cooperate.

'It's going to be a challenge, hm,' Sia clicked her tongue and was about to start the fight when twenty more figures surrounded her.

Like the abyssals, they too were sentient and it seemed they were waiting for her to fight out the hundred level 9s so that she could be sufficiently weakened.

Like the abyssals, all of them were also level 9. Even though they're mostly low level 9 and mid level 9, their numbers were more than enough to overwhelm Sia.

What's more, they too were a team and knew how to cooperate. So, their collective output would be more than their individual sum. And these people were the natives.

Out of all the groups that Enigma killed so far, the natives constituted the strongest. And now, they're grouping with the Abyssals.

Sia knew continuing to fight with them now was just suicide. What's more, she's lacking compared to Enigma in her combat style. So, she asked without any hesitation. Enigma, are you confident of defeating them if you take over now?'

'…No. I barely see any chance of winning against them.'

'Then let's ask for help…' Sia glanced at Varian's side and immediately averted her gaze. 'Never mind.'

Even she had better chances of surviving than him. That's how bloody his fight looked.

'I'll try my best,' Sia took a deep breath and glared at the thirty enemies with killing intent.

Even though the outcome of this battle was likely going to be her death, she didn't want to back down now.

Giving her a mocking smile, the ten abyssals and twenty natives waved their hands and hundreds of attacks materialized above Sia.

Clouds filled with lethal lightning drops. Maces with ice thorns. Fireballs on the verge of exploding. Fluctuating space that's ready to crush her. Fists that were prepared to crush her neck and mental waves happy to torture her mind.

Facing all this, even a veteran would have a heart of despair and collapse.

But to Sia who faced brutal torture and came out with a sane mind, this was nothing.

"Let the blood flow!" Sia's lips curled up and a mad aura began to brew around her.

As the fight was about to begin, a flurry of light swords shot out at her opponents out of nowhere and took them by surprise.

Two of them died on the spot and three were severely injured.

Bathed in a holy golden light, Sarah appeared beside the cold-expressioned Sia and gripped her sword. "Reminds me of the time when we fought together against that beast,"

Sia's aura calmed down but turned sharper and she smiled lightly. "Want to relieve the memories?"

"Of course," Sarah chuckled and at the same, Sia and Sarah shot forward, clashing with the enemies.
